DON'T WoRRY ABOUT KANSAS.

/ If the eastern press will pardon our
presumption we would like to ask, in
sober earnest, if it is not about time to
! let up on Kansas. Since the great land
slide of last year, which resulted in our
sending few delegates to congress who
were nominated and elected on the any
thing tor a change principle, every
cheap wit and eight by ten scribbler has
taken full license to fire his fusilade of
mud and coarse jest at everything which
| comes from Kansas.
What seems most culpable is that these
ungrateful filings comes from Republi-
can papers as much as from
other sources, and from hitherto Repub-
lican states, which fairly tumbled over
each other TO fall into the Democratic
line last year. 1t seems TO go for naught
that the vote of Kansas could not have
saved the ticket. Neither are we cred
tied for having cast the banner Repubi-
can majority when General Harrison
was elected, but, having done just what
our critics have done in dropping into
the enemy's camp, we are held to account
for no small share of the fakes and the
isms which have come along with a
Democratic administration. Just now
we are taking our medicine with
proper degree of humiliation.
Being the victim of few bearded and
soch!ess accidents, we can only bide our
time and see that their successors in
Office come up TO the standard for Kan
sas II comes with exceeding bad grace
however, for a state in the clutch of
TamnaDy, or ore whose governor SO far
disreeards his cath OF Office as to release
condemned socialists and anarc hists by

is the peer OF any state in the Union

THIN SKINNED KICKERS.

Kansans are thin skinned and kick at
the least provocation. Two weeks ago
this morning this locality was visited by
fine rain, hut the dust and heat of the
past week has SO irritated the average
man that he is almost willing to swear
that 1T hasn't rained for year. Central
Illinois hasn't had rain for 100 days.
The late crops are burned 1.-the pasture
lands are bare. and water is very scarce,
SO much SO that in Champaign they have
called upon the public schools to use it
rs economically as possible, and cattle
are being driven long distances to find
water. This is not a big year for Kan
sas, but with our 150, 600, coo bushels of
corn with old and new wheat enough to
feed six times our populations, and no
end of water we are great deal better
off than many of our neigh 1ors.

MORE TROUBLE Foa THE COUNTRY

the past few months was emphatic
enough to have impressed the admins

but such is not thu case. Cleveland.
Carlisle and Crisp have been busy the
past week with financial and banking
scheme which is to be embodied in a
bill and submitted to congress. 1t is
not enough that silver should be demon
etized and the industries of the country
paralyzed by threatened tariff tinkering,
but the Development must go on. In
the language of Mr.. Cleveland the
American people must be given an OBJ
ject lesson to bring them 10 their senses
and to level with the people of single
standard and free trade countries. The
new bill proposed is for the reorganiza-
ton OF national banks and the repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on circulation. The
state bank issue to be based on bonds,

FOR the Eagle.
q FLOWER SERMON.

Little dreamed when the seed was sown
That ere the flower bioomed,
He who modestly planted it there.
Would be by The grave entooned.
How strange. unused, he should plant it here
The thought came cen as knife:
He planted it there, with the weeds and tare,
As a symbol of his life
As looked at the beautiful tanned wild fowe
knew it was ever his way:
TO brighten the spots Of this great sad earth
That are hid from the light OF day.
There are plenty of hands where the work
can see
And give her approving nod;
But there's need Of hands in the alley way,
That are only seen of God.
There's need of humbling of human pride.
For poverty, sin and shame
Cannot be reached while we stand above
And mock q Savior's name.
And the seed that's soSn by the alley fence
Speaks of mortal doom,
And the flower says: the flesh must die
Ere the spirit bloom.
No perfume caters to the sense;
1t sprang up strong and pure;
It's transient life would seem to say:
For Him all things endure.
Perchance | had ne'er prizsd it so,
Had escaped the rod:
But well he knew when the flower grew,
His soul would be with God.
