a man of his intelligence could be so
badly in error. We believe the conserv-

Mothers Boy.

Childish pain and youthful trouble
Brought an element Of JOY.
For one solace ever waited
For the Mothers darling boyi"
Other trials came with manhood.
But when sorely they'd annoy.
Wrinkled hands would smooth the forehead
OF the Mothers darling boyi'
flushed that voice on earth forever;
Heavenly themes her thoughts smployi
o, I'd give my life 70 hear her
Saying: Mothers darling boyi''
And gray-hairsd bahy's whiting,
Tired OF earth's broken toy;
May he one day hear the greeting:
Welcome, mothers darling toyi"

superseded by national currency, the
best, the safest and most convenient ever
devised by any government anywhere

that it will afford something of a solution
of the problem when The national banks

retiracy of the bonds upon which their
circulation is based.

Mr.. Carnegie's remarks cabled to Pres

The constitutional convention question

The constitutional convention question
seems to have done better than the Re
publican ticket. This may be accounted
for by the circumstance that with but
two or three exceptions the party press
of the state was either mum on the ques-
ton or openly opposed it. The EAGLE
and Fort Scott Monitor are the only
papers of prominence that advocated the
pronosition.

The Jews in New Jersey.

Thanks to the efforts of few rich New Workers, about 40 Jewish families settled near Vineland in little place called AL liance some six years ago, plowed up the stubble and planted gardens. The result of the experiment has, upon the whole, been rather satisfactory. Of course there have been disappointments, and none of the settlers have become rich. But upon the other hand most of them have made a living and are still there, while of course their land has increased enormously in value, as there are now gardens where the wilderness was.
