Many parents think it is better that
children should have some diseases

them 10 pick up whatever is going in

but all the children affected do not live
through these diseases and each one is
a focus of infection TO many others. On
the whole, it would be safer and better

For the Eagle,
THE FRUIT TREE ROBB ER: DESPOIL-
Err OF The SOIL.

The deluded robber prevails abroad, through
out the land;
| He despoils the silent soil with his ruthless
hand,
His brawny arms are callous'd hard with hon
est toll;
| He plows, and crops, and robs the fertile soil.
7 he love of gain inspires; with eager haste he
pursues
To grasp what rugged nature sternly doth re-
fuse
| Her vital stores, TO garland plant and vine and
Tree;
Were designed by wisdom's hand, in album
dance free.
To mpart life to lucious fruit, and waving
golden grain;
So long as erring mortal man, on earth shall
remain,
Through sweat and toll, earth yields to US her
In thrifty trees and golden fruit in full
measure.
Robbers plant their corn midst trees, and
think it wise;
To harvest from the willing soil two fold
prize.
The God of nature did not ordain to have it
Man should exercise his reasing power and
learn to know.
The vital forces of the virgin soil ere long
must fail.
Enfeebled trees. and stunted fruit, and sordd
hope Tegale,
With blghted faith and zeal of mans Elusive
disposition;
Ignobl" to receive from fairesr earth without
compensation.
No longer rob the fruitful tree of strength to
bud and bloom.
To man they were by nature given as an earth
ly boon.
Cease-robber, cease-from the evils Of thy
pilfering ways.
That lucious fruit from vigorous boughs may
prolong their days.

Democratic hoggishnesS has caused a
nice situation in Indiana. The legisla.
ture elected last month is to meet in
january, but the state supreme court has
decided that that body will not be lega
organization because the gerrymander OF
the state into legislative districts by the
last leS islature is unconstitutional and
void. The situation thus presented is a
most serious one for the state Of Indiana.
Ii would be impossible for the last legis.
lature to be convened in special session,
correct the errors IL made and hold an
other election before the time for the
meeting of the new legislature, and vet
under the decision OF the court all this
will have to be done before the state can
have a legal lawmaking body. This Is
another brilliant example o. Democratic
smartneSS.

There were I'll, 1896 more votes cast for

lands vote four years ago was ) ,53S, 233;
this year lie received 8 ,53S, 495, or 261
votes m&e than he had in 1888. The in
crease in the total vote represented the
bulk of the vote cast for Weaver. Presi-
dent HarrIson's vote was but 1S7, S7S less
in 1892 than in 1888. So that, after ali
the blowing and Dragging of the Democ-
racy, the only consolation they have in
the result of the election Out that's
enough for all practical purposes) is the
fact that they defeated the Republican
party. Cleveland lacked 800 of hav-
ing majority of the votes cast.

1t don't seem entirely consistent for
Democrats to do such thing, but there
is strong probability that the scheme
to increase the tax on whisky 30 cents
a gallon will be adopted by congress in
lieu Of restoring the tariff on sugar The
increase of the whisky tax, it is esti-
mated, would add about $50, 900, 900 to
the governments revenues, lacking but
S15,0O0,OOO of making up the loss from
the sugar duty when it was removed.
There is no kick against the raise from
the liquor kings, as it would be big
thing for them, and this circumstance is
a strong reason for thinking it will be

To arouse that divine discomfort which
shall make women ashamed to remain
longer IN the attitude of wards in their
own country; to stir the dormant sense
of justice which shall make men unwill-

were not TO he trusted-such is The task
of the coming twentv-fiflh annual con-

Until women are enfranchised, they
cannot be considered free moral agents.
Their influence over their children is
hampered, their attempts at work OF
philanthropy enfeebled, their position in
IN the industrial world endangered, so
long rs they remain political minors,
constrained to obey laws which
they have no voice in making.
The mission OF the National American
Woman Suffrage association is to awaken
public opinion to the necessity Of bring
ing the practice Of the United States
government into harmony with its pro-
tesSed principles. Processing itself Il
government OF the people, IL Is actually
an oligarchy of men. Processing that
the citizens of each state shall be en-

A good deal of interest, in general
way, has been felt in regard to the out
come Of the bill passed by the lower
house of the Georgia legislature to pro-
vide for the chartering of state banks.
The bill is before the state senate where
it is likely to remain until congress re.
moves the tax on state banks which will
not be done this year, nor next, All OF
such talk and maneuvering is simply
grand stard policy. The Democrats
didn't mean it when they put it in their
platform, and they are not in earnest
about it now.

SMITH, The HERETO.

Professor Smith of Cincinnati, who
was convicted of the charge of heresy by
the church court that tried him last
week, by a scratch, is not without
friends outside as well as inside the pale
of the organization from which he stands
suspended The subjoined excerpt from
a column editorial discussion of the case
in the Atchison Champion will find
many hearty amens from among those
who read it:
Real Christianity is the great con-
servator of our civilization. 1t lives in
the heart of the child and breathes III the
life of the citizen. Why hide its real
beauties in the rubbish of creeds? Why
mistake emotional insanity for pure and
undefiled religion? Why measure its
value by the faulty standards made by
weak and sinful men? Modes are mean
ingless. Forms are worthless. Cere-
monies are not means of saving grace.
The corn grows upon the upland and on
the lowland, regardless of the style of
fence about the field. God giveth the
increase Purchased salvation Is worth
les. Persecution is the devils drag-net
and many ministers are Satan's servants
in the livery of Heaven If Christ
had been present in person TO defend
Professor Smith, he would have COM
menced his speech by saying 'Woe unto
ye, ScribeS and Pharisees.'

The mugwump vote of New York
state stands in about the same relation
to the total vote Of the state as the pro-

amounts TO less than one hundred.
Richard Croker was the one Cleveland

The EAGLES long advocated convic-

sun-loved plateau of the transmissouri
must eventually produce typical civil

motto and more laconic apotheg m
and a truth of ever increasing evidence.
