Did You ever Think. My Dear.

That kind word put out at interest
brings back an enormous percentage OF
love and appreciation?
That though loving thought may
not seem to be appreciated, it hss yet
made YOU better and braver because OF
it2
That the little acts of kindness and
thoughtfulness day by day, are really
greater than one immense act Of good
ness shown once year?
That to be always polite to the people
at home is not only more ladylike. but
more refined than having company
manners?D
That to learn to talk PLEASANTLY about
nothing in particular is great art, and
prevents you saying things you may re-
gret?
That to judge anybody by their per-
sonal appearance stamps you as not only
ignorant, but vulgar?
That to talk, and talk, and talk about
youself and your belongings is very tire

Good Words for Girls.

Your mother is your best friend.
Have nothing to do with girls who
snub their parents.
Tell the pleasantest things you know
when at meals.
Do not expect your brother to be as
dainty as girl.
Exercise, and never try to Iook asiii
you were delicate in health.
Introduce every new acquaintance tc
your mother as soon as possible.
Don't think it necessary to get married
There is plenty of room for old maids
and they are often happier than wives
Enjoy the pleasures provided for you
by your parents to the fullest extent
They will like that as reward better
than any other.
Most fathers are inclined to over-ir
dulge their daughters. Make it impossi
BILE for your father to spoil you by
fairly returning his devotion and affec.
ton.
Never thiuk you can afford to be dow
dy at home. Cleanliness, hair well
dressed, and smile will make calico
look like silks and satins to father or a
brother.
Do yol quarrel with your brother
Do not peach to him and do not coddle
him. Make him your friend, and do
not expect him to be your servant, nor
let him expect you to be his.

There is a certain bracing effect in cold
air which IL lost when the weather grows

mainly to the impure condition of the
blood, and its failure to supply healthy
tissue to the various organs of the body.

Our Shipping Interests.


The Italian trouble has aroused
renewed attention to the shipping
interests of the country and tie people
are realizing that there is something
radically wrong when the American
nation must admit that its marine
force is inferior to that of a little
fourth class power like Italy. Not
alone our navy but our merchant
marine is decidedly weaker than that
of the land of the dagoes.
OF the two branches the shipping
interest is more important than the
navy though both should be built up.
Generous subsidies have in other
nations proved able to do this. Dur
ing the last forty years Great Britain
has paid S275, 100000 in subsidies to
oeean-going vessels.
Even though the naval supremacy of
England seems assured the govern
ment pays as much as So 500, 900 peryear
for ocean mail service, nearly half of
which is subsidy, in fact if not in
name, for it is notorious that much more
is paid than the service really is worth.
Indeed, when a Jealous economist
from Lancashire rose in parliament
to object to the amount allowed to an
Oriental line of steamships he was
sharply told by Postmaster General
Fawcett, than whom no stauncher
Cobdenite ever lived, that the object of
the government twas not only to COM
pensate carriers for service but also to
encourage ship building" England
never has abandoned her ancient pro-
tectiOnist policy toward her shipping
interests, and it is in her shipping
interests that she is most prosperous.
The United States has abandoned its
ancient protectionist policy toward its
shipping, while maintaining it toward
all other industries, and it is in its
interests that it is depressed, while in
all other industries it is prosperous.
Secretary Whitney estimated the
United States payments to mail steam
ers at s48, 900 for the year 1887. At
the same time England was paying
$S,5OO,OO0 and Italy $1,6OO,OOO. By
means of this yearly expenditure of
SS,5O0,O00 in bounties or subsidies,
England has built up a merchant
marine which collects $3.50, OOO, 900 a
year from American merchants and
shippers for freight between the ports
of the United Kingdom and the United
States. By means of this yearly ex-
penditure of S1,6OO,OOO Italy is open
ing trade with foreign ports in which
the PROV of a United States ship is
never seen. The loss to American
trade by the decay of our once formid
able merchant marine is so serious as
to demand immediate attention.

for than town lots and big crops. They
are cultivating a literary development
which bids fair to be the most perfect
of any in the west. Even now Kansas
has more successful company of liter
airy workers than any state west OF the
Mississippi. With such names as
Howe, Ware, Allerton, ingalls,, Prentis,
AhlborD, Carruth and dozen more the
states coterie of litterateurs is distin-
guished alike for its number of writers
and for the excellence of their work.
The list of subjects at the latest
meeting of the Academy of Literature.
Kansas only pretentions organization of
literary workers, shows a progressive
ness that is encouraging. We do not
doubt but that the treatment was
equally modern. To truly succeed
the litterateurs of Kansas must keep
aloof from B. C. discussions, country
institute talk and any tendency to ape
the "culchaw" of the east. Kansas
life and literature are essentially A. D.
They deal and should deal with the
things of today, with the writings Of
today, with practical helpful and above
all western literature.
The list of officers elected by the
Academy is as follows: I. E. Dewey,
of Abilene, president; Ewing Herbert,
of Hiwatha, vice-president; Miss Okey,
of Leavenworth, secretary; J. W. D.
Anderson, of Elk City, treasurer; and
executive committee, Prof. A. G. Can
field, Miss Ahlborn, of Baldwin and
Prof. Whittemore of Topeka.
The selection of Mr.. Dewey of this
city as president is particularly fitting
as well as an honor to Abilene. An
excellent critic, a graceful writer and
imbued with the truest spirit Of
modern literature Mr.. Dewey will do
much to strengthen the Academy's in
luence and to elevate its work. He
brings to his position a ripe experience
in public matters which cannot fail to
encourage literary effort.
The RE ELECTOR cOngratulates Mr..
Dewey on his preferment and the
Academy on its work. We believe
that the organization has before it a
future which will far exceed its past in
usefulness

Time for Business,

The Clay Center Times makes a
straightforward little talk to the repub-
licans of Kansas on. the duty of the
hour. There has been too much quar-
reling in the ranks and it is time for
a business like management of the
party's affairs. The Times says:
In view of this it is all important that the
organization should be strengthened in
every quarter. Kansas should do its sh Ire
intelligently and thoroughly, all the time
remembering to demand and receive from
the eastern contigent everything that is
hers-everything that is fair, honest and
equitable-iR party perquisltes. If some of
our sleaders have been somewhat recreant
in thought and expression, that is no reason
why there should not be others chosen more
stable and sound in their views, more ad-
vanced in party management, and better
fitted, consequently, to lead the willing
hosts to victory. We have such men and
they are fearless in times of trial. Let them
assume command.

The RESOLUTION was Adopted.

A few days ago the REFLECTOR gave
its readers the text of a resolution
adopted by the alliance editors at
Hutchinson declaring that the G. A. h.
was organized for the purpose of prey
ing on the treasury and thereby ilch-
ing from the people money not their
DUE" and that the representatives of
the reform" press of Kansas pledged
themselves to resist any presumption
on the part of the ex-union soldiers gen.
orally and the members of the G. A. r.
in particular"
Since then few alliance papers have
hOwled that the resolution was fake
and was never mentioned in the con-
vention. But they reckoned without
their hest Some Salina gentleman
who was interested in the matter
looked it up with what success is told
by the Sun of that place as follows:
1t was to get at the bottom facts that
gentleman of this city went to Hutch
inson this week and after spending two
days there returned yesterday, bring
ing documents that proved cOnlusively
the truth of every assertion made.
The resolution was heard by number
of gentlemen of high Tepute in Hutch
insOn who were in the convention at
The time of reading. Certificates from
some of them asserting the material
statements are in Salina and will be
given to the public that they may be
the Judges. The resolution was taken
in shorthand on the margin of copy
of the Hutchinson News as it carelessly
lay on the lap of a young man as he
sat in the convention, and the printed
copy was transcribed from it. This
was something the members of the
convention did not count on, and so
have been taken unawares. That copy
of the Hutchinson News is likewise in
Salina, aud the shorthand report was
translated in our presence yesterday
by Mr.. Smith, the district court stenog-
rapher, and Hon. T. F. Carver, both
separately. Excepting perhaps an I'M
important word it is identical with the
resolution as published.
The Sun further intimates that there
are more disclosures to follow which
will be shown later on. The alliance edi-
tors may as we'll swallow the pill. They
have openly and abusiyely Slandered
the defenders of the nation and their
Infamous action will be heartily con-
demned by every loyal man and woman.
The southern dictation of the alliance
is becoming more and more plain and
a way-faring man through a fool need
not err in sizing it up for what tits.
