I find the best people are on the side
of the church and the Sabbath and
the preachers. May our children all
stand Of Iall with them.
What Il contrast to those sentl-
ments Of Ingersoll We're the o,d.fas! :
ioued, impregnable sdmonitions OF
Dr.. Strickler and Dr.. Gambler at the
dedication of the Agnes Scott iGsti-
tute last week. What feast of rea-
son-what comfort to the parents
who have daughters there. l am
thankful that I have lived to see that
day and hear those sentiments breath
ed out by noble, Christian men
great-hearted, broad-minded educa-
tors, who are leading our people in
the only road to happiness. I am
thankful that I have lived to see this
splendid memorial to a good woman
"a mother in Israel who raised up
her children in the fear OF God, and
taught them to love and to fear Him
and keep His commandments. We
used to have such women and their
sons were heroes and their daughters
heroines in the time of trouble. AS Dr..
Gambler said, I am glad that I have
lived to see the man who in active life
gave of his first earnings 1000 to
build and establish such school as
this for our daughters. Such
grand success as the Agnes Scott
has never been known in Georgia
nor in the South, for It has sprung up
as by a magican's wand or the rub
bing Of a gents lamp. Dean Swift said
that s'The reason why there were so
many unhappy marriages was be-
cause the girls spent too much time
in making nets and SO little in max
ing cages" They attach more impor-
tance to catching lover than keep
ing a husband. That may be so, but
the men are worse. They cease to be
lovers too soon after marriage, and
the trouble begins-the trouble that
Mr.. Ingersoll would try to remedy by
divorce, but try in vain. Every
wife knows her duty aud SO does her
husband. Let them perform it and
be happy and make the children hap
py. There is an old gander at my
house who for many days has stood
by his mate while she sets on her nest.
She plucks the down from his breast
and covers her eggs. When she leaves
them for food he escorts her to the grass
and escorts her back with a dignity
and devotion that are impressive.
My respect for geese has greatly en-
larged since I made their more init
mate acquaintance. Bill ARP.

tee Of artists in New York from all sec
tions, and of these only twenty were
deputized as representatives of art in the
United States to the Royal Institute
Three of this number were the work of
Jane Stevens
One of these received diploma, and the
other a prize and diploma. The diploma
is a beautiful engrossed parchment
bordered With scroll names of Hogarth,
Reynolds, Turner, Cox, Constable and
Gainesborough, and signed by John
Everett Millais, G. III. Boughton, Marcus
Stone and Solomon. ]. Solomon.
There were fifty prizes of money, the
eighth of which was awarded Miss Stevens.
The prize picture was a large design Of
purple clematis, executed on deeper
purple velvet ground. So perfect is the
representation that the artists methods
are entirely concealed and the real clematis
itself is scarcely the better prototype. The
other work awarded the diploma was a
pair of door panels decorated with an
original design from Midsummer Nights
Dream"
Miss Stevens is very modest, retiring
little woman, and the incidents connected
with her career as an artist and struggle
forrecognition are no less peculiar than
pathetic. Having spent the best years of
her life in plodding Office work in one of
the government departments at Washing
ton, it needed change of administration to
throw her out of employment, and enforce
the necessity Of seeking substance in an
other direction. This is the way her latent
genius was awakened, and it might prove
an impetus to obscure workers with the
brush to know that a woman no longer
young could still win the international
honors accorded Miss Stevens
That woman who knew no methods
had never received lesson in art, nor the
encouragement that comes with the asso-
citation of the artist world, should gain
such recognition is but clear demonstra-
tion of the genius of her soul. Miss Ste
vens' work is bold and unconventional, and
her most pleasurable line is tapestry paint
ing and wall paper designing. Although
self-taught, she yields to that truest OF
teachers, nature, and insists she knows
only what she observes and cannot tell
whence comes the faculty to reproduce.
It is nothing short of phenomenal-the
correctness and harmony with which she
represents flowers, landscape, figures and
flesh tint with no rules for color or meas
urement. and withal her brain is as fertile
with ideND as her hand is cunning to exc
cute. HARYoT Holt CAHooN.

I Arrive.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-10

A fees and salary bill passed the
house, but is not at all satisfactory
to most of the members. But mas
much as the members were pledged
to some measure of that nature,
they felt bound to vote for the only
bill presented. Perhaps there was
no question so hard to settle as the
salary question by general law.
A salary based upon fees is an un-
certain quantity, and to make a law
that would give man competence
in one county might not afford an
other man in another county bare
living. 1t is the opinion Of many
members that each county should
have a special act, basing the salary
upon the work needed and perform
ed by the officials in each county.
or by a stated salary, the fees being
turned into the treasury.
Two tax bills passed the house,
one of which provides for the as
sessment of railroads at the cost of
construction and equipment, and
for all property to be assessed at
its full cash value, and fixing heavy
penalties for violation. The other
bill provides for payment of taxes
in four quarterly installments re-
duces the penalty for delinquency,
and permits the county treasurers
to remit payments of state tax
through express or draft. 1t is
claimed that this bill will save the
state $4,000.

CAPITAL NOTES.

The house holds three ses-
sions each day, unless adjourning
for some special causes. The even
ing session usually lasts till mid
night and is generally the most
stormy.
The alien land bill passed the
house, Monday, in spite of the op-
position of the Republican members
who renewed their protests against
driving capital out of the state.
Some of the Peoples party members
retorted that English capitalists,
through investments in land and
otherwise, was draining the nation
of capital through rents and inter-
est, and if not stopped, would
create a worse system of landlord
ism than that existing in the old
world. Rents and interest should
be wiped out by securing to families
homes free from debt.
The provisions of the alien land
bill are, that no nonresident alien,
or firm of aliens, or corporation in
,corporated under foreign laws, may
acquire a title to land in this state,
and land now held may, after Pc
riod of FIVE years if still remaining
in the hands of aliens, revert to the
state.
The fees and salary bill seems to
give the most trouble. Most of the
members are hard to please, and it
seems that bill that will give gen.
eral satisfaction is an impossibility.
Monday evenings session was de-
voted to that bill, with the result
that it was with much opposition
passed to q third reading. The
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-10

In 1889 the railroads of Russia
paid the government a net surplus
of 81, 100000. Taking this as
basis the railroads of the United
States would pay all the state and
national taxes. India has 10000
miles of government railroads, mag
nificent depots and iron telegraph
poles. The poor working people of
India average only seven cents a
day. The railroad fare is only one
seventeenth of a cent per mile. So
they can ride l19 miles for the
price of days labor. The average
price per day in the United States
for labor is about $3.50. There is
wide difference between seven cents
and so ; yet the American laborer
can only ride about fifty miles for
days work. The citizen of India
can ride sixty-nine miles further for
the prics of days work than the
American citizen.-Union Signal.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-10

committee claimed that the general
cut would be from ten to twenty per
cent. from existing laws.
The Botkin investigating commit
tee decided to prefer articles OF
impeachment against that gentle
man. 1t seems, from the investiga-
ton. that his honor is addicted to
drunkenness, and is incompetent,
besides being Unjust. Pending final
proceedings, Bill was introduced
in the house, and passed, that abol-
ishes the dis ,rict over which Judge
Botkin now presides. 1t was stated
upon the foor,by Republican, that
the district in question was created
for political purposes; that the pop
ulation did not justify the district.
Some of the Republican members
made a great howl about Furnishing
man without a hearing, but it
seems that Botkin refused to sum-
mon witnesses, because the commit
tee limited the number to thirty. 1t
would seem that any man might
prove himself innocent with thirty
witnesses, if such proof could be
made. The usual rot of gag"
infamous" and outrage will now
be in order, and the G. o. p. papers
will be full of misrepresentation
and the usual number Of blind read
ers will be buzzing around like dis
turbed hornets.
The senate claims that it has not
time to consider the railroad bill
passed by the house. The senate
forgets that the railroad question
was before the people, not only last
fall, but for many years, and that it
did not have to wait for the house.
Why did the senate wait for the
house? Is it because its members
have not the brains to consider the
railroad question, OF is it because it
is owned by, and is part of, rail-
railroads and monopoly? The plea
of "not time" is the thinnest kind
: Of thinness.
To the uninltiated, it would seem
to be the easiest thing in the world
for Legislature to pass laws enough
for ten states, in fifty days, but the
actual test gives a very different
showing.
Mr.. Andrews, the deceased men,
ber from Cowley county, had a
mortgage on his farm. A subscrip-
ton paper was circulated among the
members of the house, with the re-
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-10

suit that about one hundred and
twenty dollars were donated to the
widow to assist her in paying of
the mortgage.
A bill was passed, Thursday, that
prohibits the blacklisting of rail
way employees by railway superin
tendents, master mechanics, OF
agents. The provisions are, that
no agent acting for railroad
company may enter into any ar
rangement to transmit the names o.
discharged employees from one
office to another that in case o.
the discharge Of an employe, the
cause shall be plainly stated in the
discharge, and no secret device may
be used for the purpose of black
listing, and no one may be discharg
ed because of membership in any
labor organization. The last pro
provision applies to all corporations
1t may be said that this measure
was called for because corporations
have deliberately set about breaking
up labor organizations by refusing
employment to members of organi
cations they do not favor.
A resolution passed the house and
senate, submitting to the people to
be voted upon, in 1892, a PROPOSE
ton to call constitutional conven
ton to revise and amend the old
one. There was no debate in the
house, and resolution was adopted
by over two-thirds' vote. few
of the members explained theil
votes. Judge Webb, of Topeka
claimed that the convention was q
necessity, and that he had favored
constitutional convention for fifteer
years. Some of the members were
afraid that the proposition was {
scheme of liquor interests, and
voted against for that reason. The
form of the ticket will be, "for q
convention" "against a conven
tion." There can be no reasonable
doubt but that the constitution
should be amended, and the ques
ton of prohibition does not enter
into the merits of the question more
than any other question in connec'
ton with the constitution. The
fact that the most radical prohibi.
ZIONIST voted for the resolution
should be evidence that it is not in
the interests of the saloon, although
the re-submissionists hope to gain
something thereby.

The extremes between the rich
and poor are becoming SO great, by
4he combination of capital, that it is
high time some steps were taken to
cali halt on that line, if it can be
done. The papers have ventilated
this subject thoroughly, and the peO1
