How DO You Bow /?

Did you ever watch people bow? It is
quite study to note the variety of facia
contortions and the divergence as to The
method of boiling the head.
You have probably noticed the digni
fed little bend of the head accompanied
by passive countenance 1t does moi
mean much, and when it does, the special
grace and comtndable virtues are not in.
dictated in the definition. A genial bow
has as much to account for as hearty
hand clasp, and one frigid recognition has
been know to drench sprouting friend
ship with ice water and kill it on the
spot.
Heads are often tossed back and then
bent down, and | have taken delight in
observing man who opens his mouth as
if TO facilitate the fitting of his head. On
some occasions a greeting is given by the
solemn wagging of the head, just as
people In some localities shake hands with
a motion from side to side.
With a few people the whole face lights
up as they greet their friends, and to thoes
CHEEKY, whole-souled mortals we give and
unasked and voluntary confidence. Lips
of a smile. Eyes can be dance into a
dreary semblance of mirth. Words can
be strung together by the brain ard
uttered in tones of counterfeit Joy, but we
can read the falseness and mark the ab-
sence OF heart on every feature.
Those who are glad to see Us rarely dis
guise the fact, and thoes who are not can
scarcely force our belief from resting ubon
the foundation OF perhaps disaggreeable
truth.-Toronto Globe.

THE GREAT WHEAT CROP OF SOUTH
ERN KANSAS

4 The Missouri Pacific railway system in
a very general and thorough way cover:
entire southern Kansas, its principal
| lines and branches reaching every agri
cultural district and important town.
Mr.. Russell Harding is superintendent OF
the Fort Scott and Wichita line, which
reaches from the former place to Wich-
| tia and from Wichita to the west and
| south lines of the state, and also superin-
tendent of five other extensions and
branches, including the Denver, Mem
phis and Atlantic, which sweeps through
the southern border counties, terminal
ing at Larned. For his own better in
formation, on last Saturday he called for
reports on the wheat crop by telegraph
from the Missouri Pacific agents at
eighty-four stations, located in twenty
two counties. They were asked for an
estimate of the probable yield per acre
as estimated by farmers of the vicinity,
for statements as to damage by fly, as
to present condition of crop, and whether
any more rain would be needed. The
writer carefully scanned the reports after
they had been summarized and tabulat-
ed, and the figures warrant the assertion
that there will be fully 50 per cent of a
full crop with large per cent increase
of acreage. The report was made up be-
fore the last rain fall, yet no more rain
was needed to mature the crop at any of
the eignty-four points. The table Of
stations showing the estimated yield of
bushels per acre as furnished by the
farmers Of the respective vicinities is
very instructive. The great majority Of
reports show from twenty to twenty
five bushels to the acre. A few in
stances it is reported at greater num-
Der, one section being put down at
twenty-eight bushels and another at
thirty. Very few stations report
promise of less than seventeen and eigh-
teen bushels. Three points put the yield
as low as twelve bushels and one goes
down to ten bushels. The increase Of
acreage in the east section runs from
fifteen to seventy-fve per cent.
With no disastrous hail or generally
destructive wind storms, such as have
occurred in the northern portions Of the
state, southern Kansas will within three
weeks be in the midst of magnificent
wheat harvest

year. The repeal of the sugar tariff
duty has cheapened the price ofa COM
fort of life and saved to consumers $50
600, 0C0 year. The tin plate duty is
establishing a new industry on American
soil, giving employment 10 American
labor and capital and increasing Ameri-
can industrial independence. The
reciprocity policy is opening to American
merchants the markets of Brazil, Cuba
and the other countries of Central and
South America and increasing the for
eign trade of the United States. The
convention did not make single sug
gestion in the way of getting rid of
worms, bugs, hot winds and drouth.

That is the gold bug demand, not that

to defeat the silver coinage idea. But it
won't work. Congress fixed the present

reason for changing it now. To yield to
the demand would be to practically de-

CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE.

The following is taken from a New
York special to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The fact is that Carlisle has got tired
of furnishing the brains for Cleveland
without compensation. He never for
gave the latter for not putting him at
the head of the supreme bench, instead
of appointing Melville Fuller. He has
with some hesitation made up his mind
that the war is SO long over that the
Democratic party may safely cross the
Ohio river or Mason and Dixon's line, in
search of a presidential candidate; and if
that is done, he properly feels that either
he or Senator German should lead the
party.
So he persistently refused to go to
Louisville, and thereby kept out, not
only of the antagonism of the guberna-
torial race but avoided personal respon-
sibility for the deliberate snubbing of
Cleveland and the adoption of the free
silver plank. Now he sits quietly and
waits for what may come. He and
German are playing hand in hand
he as the great apostle CT reve-
nue. reform, and German as the
great exponent of practical Democracy.
Both are weary of Cleveland, and yet
each is too sagacious to Jump the stile
before he comes 10 it. Blackburn was
selected to do the work in Kentucky,
and German will handle his side little
later on.
John G. Carlisle has been presiding
over the congressional committee, APP
pointed 10 investigate the working of the
Mckinley bill. He was so busy in this
line of labor that he could not attend the
state Democratic convention of Ken
lucky, although heavy pressure had been
brought to bear to persuade him 10 pre-
side over the body. Everybody knows
that he could easily have gone if he had
wanted TO, and the inner circle know
just why he did not want TO go.
The truth of the situation can be seen
in the report drawn by Joe Black burn.
wherein Grover Cleveland and John G..
Carlisle are put upon party on the
tariff issue.

The supreme court of the United States
day before yesterday handed down two
decisions involving the question of state
rights, one of them the right of Kansas
TO exclude intoxicating liquors, the other
the right of Virginia to exclude -four not
grown in the state. The court held that
what Is sauce for the goose is not sauce
for the gender. Kansas has the power
to regulate interstate commerce when il
comes TO something TO drink. but Vir-
gina has no right TO regulate interstate
commerce when it comes to something
to eat That is the way the decisions
read to the editor, but of course they will
read differently TO the lower courts and
higher lawyers.

Rev. Henry J. Hamilton, of Home,
! stead. Pa, delegate to the Baptist con
vention in Cincinnati, was accidentally
killed by falling stone from the top OF
a five-story building on Fourth, near
Main. His head was mashed almost to a
jelly, and Rev. Mr.. Gruesemer. who was
walking arm and arm with him, was
badly injured. Rev. Mr.. Burlington,
who was Immediately behind, was struck
on the side, and, while not injured, had
his clothes badly torn. the rock grazing
him almost his entire length. Thsstone
was two feet long, four inches thick and
twelve inches broad, and in some unac-
countable manner it was pushed from
the roof of the building, which was being
repaired. The general opinion is, says
the Times-Star. that the accident was
unavoidable. and that it was one of
those moves Of Providence that cannot
be explained.

According to treasury statement. the
money IN circulation in the country Nav
J. amounted to 1.529, 000. 600. or S210.-
0O0,ooO more than it was IN 1887. 1t was
greater by more than $50, 600. 900 than
the highest point reached after the i'm
mense treasury disbursements of last
autumn, and greater by more than S1OO.-
O0e, 900 than the amount used in moving
the crops Of 1855 and 1889. The figures
must be taken as correct, and vet they
are somewhat misleading, that is as TO
the amount of money now in circula-
ton. It is in circulation in the sense
that 1t has been issued from the treasury
departments, but no such volume is in
the active channels of trade. just where
the bulk of il is may not be easy to
ascertain, but where it is not, though
ought to be, much of it, is patent TO all.

1t now seems evident that the outcome
of the Briggs heresy trial before the
Presbyterian assembly at Detroit will be
a virtual acquittal of the accused. In
fact, it is almost certain that the matter
will be disposed of without being
brought to trial. But this will be only a
temporary easement of a condition that
will force an issue, sooner or later.
Liberty of conscience is an inherent
right that cannot be abridged or circum-
scribed by written dogmas emanating

The superior efficiency of the police
force in American cities is shown in the
number of street accidents that occur
annually in New York and London, the
representative cities of the two hemis-
pheres. In the former there were during
the past year sixty-nine street deaths,
while in the latter there were $50. In
the larger cities the duty of the police,
the day force in particular, is to look out
for and prevent accidents upon the
streets, as far as possible.

Negotiations have been completed be.

Negotiations have been completed be-
tween Marshallton, Iowa, citizens and
eastern capitalists for the immediate
erection of the largest beet sugar factory
in the United States. Capacity 400 tons
daily, capitalized for $3.50, 900, of which
Marshalltown subscribes $500 and do
mates forty acres of land. Plans and
specifications for the buildings are COM
pleted and work is to begin at once.
This indicates that interest and con-
fidence in the success of the beet sugar
enterprise has not abated, and the active
employment of such large sums of
money in localities where practical tests
have been made is an unmstakable
augury Of the pernanence and profita

NO, WE DON'T REMEMBER.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset quotes an
EAGLE editorial of last week on the Gin
cinnati quartette, appending the follow
ing unfeeling fling, which it affects to
believe is a reminder of many things that
could only have happened in the imagin-
alton of its editor and Of which it would
therefore be impossible for US ever to
remember:
1.-The EAGLE, more than any other
agency in southwest Kansas, helped to
bring on the ''Quartette" that are repre-
senting Kansas at Cincinnati. Its rule
or ruin policy; its jibes and threats; its
insults which it took so much pleasure
in calling naked truths; its open attacks
upon Republican policy and Republican
officials and their rulings are coming
home to roost. Does the EAGLE remem-
Der about the "fool legislature" it used
to harp about? Does it remember its
fight against prohibition? Does it re-
member how it favored resubmission and
Chas. Robinson and opposed L. L. Hum
phrey? Does it look over its files and
look up its insinuations detrimental to
the Mckinley bill and its slurs against
Tom Reed? And the worst of it is dur
ing all the time it was slapping its own
party and furnishing fuel for the other
fellows, it was not saying anything about
the enemies of the Republican party, the
state and the nation.

The Kentucky court CT appeals has de-
cided that marriage exhngulshes a debt
due from the wife to the husband. and
when debt Is thus extinguished, a
mortgage executed TO secure it is also
extinguished. The only odd thing about
this is that decision on the point should
have been necessary or called for in 2
state whose laws subject the property Of
the wife TO control Of the husband and
makes it at once his property.
