People Who Borrow Books.

Book-borrowers are, probably, the

A VIVA yearnIne for Pockets.

European papers have had great
deal to say about Miss Mary Poe. who

She had them all around Tire hem Of

startling purposes In one she carried
her lunch and in another her dinner;
the third secretod salt cellar. while

but women who wear bell skirts viii

to be done for them, and 1t is very pos

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

There is some transformation current
regarding the origin and history of the
| proposition for constitutional conven-
ton to be voted on next November. The
| EAGLE Of July IL was correct in stating
that this proposition is "a Republican
measure; that it originated with and
| was first passed by the Republican SEN
ate, and that its passage by the house
was secured through the earnest efforts
of the Republicans in that body"
The facts are that Hon. John 7. Show
alter, of Sumner county, introduced the
resolution in the house for this purpose
al the last session, and Senator EllistCn
introduced the only one in the senate.
Showalter labored indefatigably for his
measure in the house and secured a
favorable report from the Judiciary COM
mittee; but before it reached final vote
in the house the senate had passed It's
resolution and transmitted it to the
house. Immediately after its second
reading In that body. March 3, 1891, son
motion Of Mr.. Showalt the rules were
suspended" and the resolution was ION
the calendar for third reading;;" and the
next day it was passed.
Showalter stuck to this measure from
first to last and IN a very large degree is
entitled to the credit of securing its
passage. While of course it could not
have been passed without the vote of a
majority of the Alliance members; yet
no Alliance man or Democrat cared
enough about the matter to introduce
such measure in either house and its
very existence as well as successful man
agement is to be credited to the active
exertions of the Republicans in both
houses In explanation of his vote
on this measure in the house, Captain
Warren of EmpOria, made the follow
Ing laconic statement:
Because believe it to be the best In
terest of the state to have a new consti-
tuition, as the state has outgrown the old

Because [ am as good a temperance
man as anybody"
Because the Republican senate Of this
state has already passed the bill, and
am Republican and will stay with
them"

gence Of the Republicans that secured to

The senate had the laugh on Senator
Quay, when the provision for the coin
age of 10000, 600 souvenir half dollars
for the aid of the Columbian exposition
was up for discussion. Mr. Quay offered
an amendment requiring the exposition
to be closed on Sundays. lie sent TO the
clerks desk and had read what he called
the reasons for his amendment, but was
not amused (as all other senators were)
when the clerk read impreSsively the
commandment: Honor thy father and
thy mother, that thy days may be long
in the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee" Mr.. Quay in some confu-
sion then supplied and the clerk read the
commandment appropriate to the mat

The Investigations into the Homestead
affair ordered by congress and made by
a committee from that body, was insti-
tuted with remarkable promptness and
pressed to speedy conclusion, the in
quiry being concluded Thursday even
ing. As far as can be ascertained from
the published reports Of the investigation
as it progressed nothing very sensational
Or surprising was developed, the most
significant incident being the refusal of
the officers and managers Of the mills to
state the labor cost to those mills in the
production of its goods, upon the plea
that to DO so would be to make public
the company's private business. The
excuse for the refusal was plausible
one, to be sure, but it contains the es-
sence of the matter in controversy, and
the secret will be held by the public as
circumstance against the company.

Don't fool Yourself by entertaining

with the hope of getting something from

The principal business. at least the
most significant, transacted by the Pro-
hibTion convention at Topeka the first
of the week. was that of drafting and
adopting resolutions abusing the Repub-
lican party, supplemented by the con-
struction of a ticket to help beat the Re
publican party's candidates. And ell
this was done with the fact staring them
IN the face that everything that has been
done in Kansas in the interest of the
cause the Prohibs profess to represent
and hold dear has been accomplished by
the Republican party solely and alone,
ard the further fact that the party, in its
latest authentic declaration On the sub
ject, pledged itself to stand by the
record it has made. We only mention
these facts and circumstances to call at
tention to the rank insincerity of
profession and duplicity of action on the
part of the alleged moral reform ele-

announcement that the state supreme

death sentence passed by the lower court
