THE OTTAWA CRAUTAUQUA.

! To the Editor of the Eagle
The meetings OF the Chautauqua assem-
bly, which are held at Ottawa are in
creasing in numbers and interest each
day. There are about 5000 people on
the grounds, and many more expected
on Grand Army day when General Glib
son spoke. The grove in itself is most
beautiful while the money which has
been spent upon it for the last eight
years has put all parts of the grounds in
fine condition. The stately elms and
walnuts have been trimmed to admit
the air, the beautiful carpet of blue
grass is short and clean as lawn, while
the rows upon rows of clean white tents,
make most charming picture. All the
buildings of the assembly are permanent
The tabernacle seats 6, 600 people, while
upon the platform are chairs for a
chorus of 500. The chorus this year is
conducted by Professor G. c.. Case, who
is giving unbounded satisfaction as a
leader, while his cordial and gentle
manly bearing assure HIM the friend
ship of all.
Besides the tabernacle is Assembly
hail, seating about 500 people, while over
ii are comfortable sleeping rooms for
those who do not use the tents.
Upon the bank of the river (the
Narias dies Cygnes) is located the hail
of philosophy erected after the Greek
style, the roof resting upon columns,
and open upon all sides. Several hun
bred persons may be seated here, and
here also are often given the bible
falL-sr nv Tlr Hurlha1rt
Up toward the west end of the grounds
is the normal building, the second story
of which is also used for lodgings, while
the lower floor is used for class inStruc-
ton.
The dining hall is a large building
where several hundred can be accom-
modated with meals During the as
sembly the prices are thirtF-five cents
for dinner, and twenty-five for break
fast and supper.
There is also lunch stand upon the
grounds, where frult and lunches and
ice cream may be had at reasonable
rates.
Fine graveled walks lead to all these
| buildings, while upon the driving streets
are seen at all times the pretty turn-outs
Of the residents of Ottawa.
Most beautiful beds of flowers are
scattered through the grounds, such as
pausies and geraniums. while a pond is
radiant with water hles, white, yellow
and njaA asd- dartinx among tina broad

COOL leaves one may see scores or gold
fish. A beautiful fountain cools the air,
aud electric lights penetrate the dark
ness of the forest.
A postofice and stationery store are
also upon the grounds, while at the Of
flcers' headquarters may be found Presl-
dent Miner and Secretary Keith. Both
these gentlemen are untlring IN their ef-
forts to see that all are comfortably es-
tablished and happy.
Scores of happy children range the
grounds, or swing sleepily IN the ham
mock at the door of the tent.
There are Bible lessons, singing classes
and gymnastics for these small people
too.
At meal time some of the tables are
spread ia the tents, but the greater part
upon tables upon the outside. while
many parties there for day, spread
their cloth upon the grass.
The best instruction is given IN ali de-
partmentS by teachers of skill, while
one may take advantage of it, or lie idly
upon the grass or in the hammock and
listen to the hundreds Of voices la the
chorus or the voices of the birds in the
trees overhead.
To those who wish ten days vacation
in the next summer, / can think of no
more charming place in which to spend
it.
The Woman's Council held its first ses-
sion here this year, and was from the
first day grand success. Many ladies
who have before engaged in philanthropic
work, met and discussed still broader
plans. Notably among them were Mrs.
Noble l.. Prentis, Mrs Ford and Mrs.
Scammon of Kansas City, Mrs. Gushing
and Mrs. Hopkins of Leavenworth, Mrs.
Kidder of Manhattan, Mrs. Hopkins,
Mrs Brown and Mrs. Johns of Saiina,
Mrs. Parker of Chicago, Mrs. Boyd of
Newton. Mrs. Todd of Wichita, Mrs.
Turner of Paola, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs.
Barrett and Mrs. Fuller of Ottawa, be-
side large number from Olathe.
The local club of Ottawa had
prepared most beautiful headquarters,
where continual reception was being
held. Two hours each day in Assembly
hall were allowed to the council, and
these meetings were addressed by differ
ent women.
Newton furnished a solo singer in the
person of Mrs. DR.. Boyd, who is the
teacher of music in the public schools.
Mrs. Boyd is Boston lady of refinement
and culture, possessing voice of great
sweetness and power.
1t is hoped that large numbers of peo-
pie from this part Of the state will find it
convenient to spend ten days at the OF
tawa assembly next year.
Nowhere else can final instruction and
advantages of every kind be had so
cheaply, and nowhere else have nature
and art united to make SO charming a
place for summer jaunt.

To the congress of the United States:
Pass the bill to open the Cherokee Strip
to settlement and remove a cause for
long continued strife and ceaseless irri-
tation TO the people resident upon the
borders of that coveted land Moreover,
convenient rendezvous for thieves and
murderers and outlaws of every kind
and degree will be broken up and in its
stead will spring into existence homes of
happiness and contentment tor thousands
who are now simply existing as by chance
wherever the fates may have cast their
lots. Every consideration of benefit to
humanity appeals to you to delay not in
doing this thing, and there is no good
reason why it should not be done.

own lumber, and maay Others are coming
here to buy. At least twenty good houses
will be erected at once on their reservation.
These houses are all being built upon the

Sarah, married Thomas Coleman and be-
came the mother Of twelve children.
The next, Elizabeth, married Henry
Wolf and had sixteen children. The

Chicago has for several days been en-
joying a flood such as has not visited
the city for long time. Coming as it
did Immediately upon the adjournment
of the national Democratic convention
the country is inclined to regard the
food as most fortuitous occurrence.
With less thorough drenching and
securing the residuum left by the I'm
washed aggregation would, no doubt,
have SO thoroughly tainted the atmos-
phere in the vicinity as to cause some
sort of pestilential visitation. Lucky

People who think political campaigns
in this country are unduly and unrea-
sonably exciting, harmful in their eff
fects upon the moral atmosphere and
calculated to jeopardize the peace and
welfare of the community, should take a
look across the main and see how they
campaign on the other side where popu-
lar elections are held. In England and
Ireland at this moment it is almost
worth the life of the greatest man in the
land to participate in political demon

A man less anxious for office and pow
er than Grover Cleveland would have
hesitated long when offered nomina-
ton on platform that repudiates his
personal views and convictions on the
one vital question to him. The original
tariff plank inserted by the committee
of the Chicago convention was almost
the exact language of Cleveland in his
famous message to congress and letter
of acceptance of the nomination four
years ago; but the convention ripped it
up and cast it out, and in its place in
serted free trade declaration pure and

CHINESE DRUMMERS.

AImon dyed California Merchants Doing
without High-Priced White Labor.
The Chinese have discovered another
way of competing with VIII" - For
years the merchants in Chinatown, p,---
ticularly those manufacturing cigars
and clothing, have employed white men
at large salaries to drum up interior
trade. The merchant, realizing the
strong feeling against his countrymen,
knew that it would be hard for him TO
do business personally with white mer-
chants. Many of the interior mer-
chants, while they were ready to pat
ronize the Chinese firms, did not like
the fact known, and when a Chinaman
dressed in his national costume called
upon him he was inclined to avoid be-
ing seen with him With the white
drummer, however, the San Francisco
Call says, it was different The latter
could register at any of the hotels, and,
after selling man bill of goods, could
invite the customer to drink or take
dinner with him, an invitation none
would accept from Chinaman.
A few months ago, however, the Chi
nese merchants began TO discharge
their high-salaried white drummers and
travel on the road themselves, or filed
the vacancies with their own country
men. Little Pete, of jury bribery fame,
who is heavy producer in Chinatown.
was one of the first to inaugurate the
new custom. He fitted Chinese en-
ploye out in American clothes, fur
nished him with well fitted wig and
sent him out on the road. The venture
was success, and Little Pete soon
found his business progressing IS well
as when he employed the white drum
mer.
In his American dress the general APP
pearance of the Chinaman, which il SO
Objectionable to the whites, was almost
hidden In this attire, and with no
queue visible, the interior hotel keeper
made no objection to him, and he was
therefore allowed to extend the same
business courtesies to the white custom
ers as the white drummers.
Other Chinese firms soon adopted the
new custom and now there are nearly
fifty disguised Cinnamon, travelling up
and down this state as drummers. The
presence of numerous Cinnamon wear
ing wigs and American clothes has
been noticed lately in this city, but few
could explain reason for it.

The Rocky Mountain News, which a
few days ago bolted Cleveland, is now
engaged in booming the Peoples party,
and predicts that with Gresham as the
presidential nominee, the populists can
carry the Mountain state. And what
will it amount to if that state should
make such fool of itself? As far as
the result goes it will be in no better sit
uation, in the matter of realizing the
selfish exclusive demands it makes, than
it is today. Free coinage in the shape
the silver bugs demand it will never be
realized. 1t is as piece with the Alii-
ance government warehouse scheme and
has no more reason nor stronger argu-
ment back of it.

The shrewed management of the Har
rison canvass at Minneapolis by John G.
New of Indiana is fairly outdone and
eclipsed by the skillful generalship OF
William Z. Whitney at Chicago
Kansas City Star.
A very nice tribute from an indepen.
dentC0 paper to a political party boss.
But that aside, it is stated as fact by
persons who were on the ground and
who are competent to properly estimate
ability, that as far as the management
of personal interests of their leaders was
concerned, there was no more COMPARE
son between Whitney, Cleveland's first
lieutenant, and Bourke Cochran, the
Tammany leader and Hills chief of
staff, than there is in the veriest tyro and
Cushing as authorities on parliamentary
proceedings. Hills defeat before the con-
vention was not from lack of discipline
among his followers or strategic proves
in his managers. The mass of the con-
vention was like a stampeded herd of
range cattle, simply unmanagable and
uncomfortable. 1t didn't require any
leadership or management.

The fuSionists at the Garnett conven,
ton only lacked two votes of securing
the endorsement of Colonel Moore, the
Democratic nominee. This circumstance
has inspired the fusioniSts with fresh
hope, and they are predicting the cleo,

GreSs, evidently calculating upon the
support of = proportional part of the
third party and a solid Democratic vote.
Ii it is found that that expectation Will
not be realized our guess sill is that
Moore will draw off before the election.

A CAMPAIGN OF PRINCIPLES.

Protection and free trade, otherwise

platforms. Harrison and Cleveland are
their representatives.. Both are able
men, and both, while filling the great
Office of president of the United States,
have given the country honest admins
trations. Let the party managers eschew
personalities. Show the young men In
politics and the possible voters IN the
ranks of the rising generation what an
old-fashioned political campaign for
principle meant. Elevate it above q
mere "spoils-of-office' hunt. Let it be a
campaign of education.
The people. especially the younger
element of the voting population, are
ripe for thorough indoctrination as to
the respective merits of for American
interests of the widely divergent views
of the two great parties. The young
men who in the last four years have at

November. will have attained their
majority, and who on that day will have
cast their first ballot, m Ike up no incon-
siderable number. Their vote may be
decisive of the contest. Hence they are
an important factor.
With such a campaign, depend upon
it, the people will vote intelligently and
fearlessly. They will see to it, also,
that their votes are counted as they in
tended to cast h m. And when the
votes are counted throughout this broad
land we have faith to believe that they
