workers are the benefits from mutual
exchanges of ideas and the literary uplifi

CLEAN and ABLE.

The New York Independent, relig-
ious newspaper, has very handsome
article on President Harrison's admins
tration. Under the heads OF ability,
patriotism, cleanness, efficiency and
safety, it remarks that whatever has
been done has been done well, and con-
cludes that ''the administration OF Presi-
dent Harrison challenges comparison
with any that have preceded 1t. AND
so it has. We need not go into details,
since the history of the present admins
tration is all fresh in the public mind.
Privately and in public places the preSi-
dent has sustained the importance OF his
office with admirable dignity and grace,
and in the conduct of home and foreign
affairs-sometimes arising TO the sub
limities for times of peace-the admins
tration has met every demand and won
the applause of the people.

BAKER UNIVERSITY AND LTTERA-
TURE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
The Kansas Academy Of Language
and Literature held very profitable ses-
sion at Baker university last week. That
feature of the program which elected
by far the most favorable comment,
from members of the academy, was the
presidents annual address. President
r. E. Dewey of Abilene had chosen for
his theme, Sidney Lanier," and never
did sainted poet have more apprecia-
tive interpreter, or more sympathetic
devotees. With poets instinct for
meaning equal to Shelley's, and an ear
as attuned to melody as Swinburne's, the
gifted writer held his large audience en-
tranced, as with woRdrous words of
pathos and beauty he brought them into
sympathetic touch with Sidney Lanier' S
soul-stirring poetry. it was rare lit
erary uplift. "A Greek born out of his
time was said of Keats, and as the
serene beauty of the rhythmic Greek OF
this inspiring address, stole soft as star
light white upon responsive hearts, they
murmered-''tha Greek is here!'

AN ATTACK UPON CALAMITY.

From the New York sun.
1t Is our duty to direct the attention of
the swirling- Drained economists who
watch over the interests of the Sun
flower state in the Fifth-second congress
to the assault committed by the secretary
of the board of agriculture of that state
upon the Farmers Alliance and the Peo-
pies party. The April crop report sent
out by this official asserts that ''Kansas
starts out with highly favored conditions
for prosperous crop this year. and he
even dares to adduce as proof of his
assertion such facts as that the heavy
rainfall and snowfall in March have
strengthened the roots of the late sown
wheat and that the percentage of wheat
killed has been small Are minds like
the Hon. William Alfred PETERS. for
merly of Coffeyville; the Hon. Jerry
Simpsons, the Sockless Socrates of
Medicine Lodge; the Hon. Brasidas
Holosernes Clover's of the Third dis
trict. who twas married. as he tells
the world in the Congressional Record,
ION All Fools Day in 1859. and has
seven chiidren;" the Honorable John
Grant Otis's of Topeka, the Hon. John
Davis's of junction City, widely
known" as he modestly observes his
biography, ''as an able and fearless
writer on economic subjects" and the
Hon. William Bakers of Lincoln, 10
allow the secretary of the Kansas board
of agriculture to disseminate reports
false to the principles and rejecting
upon the high mission of the f. A. and
P. P? 1t is libel upon both those in-
stitutions to say that Kansas starts out
with favorable conditions for pros
porous crop year. Prosperity is thing
unknown to Kansas, or else the grand
cerebral constellation composed of PETER
and Simpson and the other stars of the
Kaw, has twinkled in vain.

Notwithstanding the iron industry has
developed more rapidly in the south in
recent years than in any other portion of
the country, and the further fact that the
wonderful development has been the re-
suit of the protection afforded by our
tariff laws, so abjectly are the Democrat
ic representatives from the southland
of the country for that matter-under
the control of cotton, the great king of
Dixie, that they voted, with three excep-
tions, to place cotton ties on the free list.
