FROM a FAITHFUL KANsAN.

| Dear Editor Of the Eagle,
Write an editorial advising our boys
to throw up the sponge. Tell George to
surrender his symbol of authority, the
| gavei, with which he has so furiouSly
pounded the desk, when calling the "only
constitutional house together, to
! Speaker Dunsmore OF the fat house.
/ Let them assume the full and awful
responsibilities OF managing the affairs
| of state.
For two campaigns they have hOwled
that the Republican senate of two years
ago stood in the way Of lower freight
rates Of complete solving of the yexed
and forever vexing question of trans
portation; of the lowering of the exorbi-
tant salaries of county officers; of many
laws which when enacted would ma
terially lower the cost of state and local
governments; of the giving of homes to
the people without mortgage liens upon
them, vine clad and morning glory
scented homes, from out of which would
come the sturdy farmer Of the land like
Noah Allen, Chump Willis and Jim
Legate, to drive high priced cattle and
hogs. or haul dollar a bushel wheat to
market, made by the toiling masses of
the cities, to the men who teach, preach,
pound iron, and dig deep down
into the bowels of the earth,
and in return haul home cheap
clothing, boots and shoes and the
other things that will make the average
house sing hallelujah. The United
States senator the bone of contention
has gone a glimmering into the gloam-
ing of a starless night. The Democrats
are satisfied, because he has said that he
is q Democrat. The Pops are satisfied
because he said that he believes in their
platform. Then we are satisfied be-
caused he said that lie believes in it or
some thing better, and we believe that
be believes in e,mething better.
Your twelve inches of top soil will
solve many of these vexatious condi-
tons
Your twelve inches Of top soil, in the
language of the great leader Of DemOc-
racy, at the state fair still remains, and
out of it in spite Of fusion and fatism,
and hoayso bowling will evolve the con-
diton5 which viii make a great state,
and a happy people. Let them have the
blarsted legislature and see them break
their backs. Call off the dorgs of war
and let the old machine scute for a
while. COWSKINNER.

importance OF the Bath.

There is no doubt that women are be-
ginnig to realize more and more the i'm
portance of the bath 1t no longer con-
tinues 10 be perfunctory duty, TO be
gone through with as a matter of course
on Saturday nights, much as the family
washing is undertaken on Monday The
relation of cleanliness to godliness has
ceased to be Of Importance; the bath has
grown to be considered, on the contrary,
a close adjunct to woman's beauty. Tho
fair sex has learned to study the bath
and its effects upon their feelings, and in
cidentally the action Of tepid or hot
water on their skins and its efficacy
in softening and identifying their
compilations. No longer can it be
said that with the majority of American
women bath means simply wiping tho
face with corner OF a wet towel, even II
the statement were ever true. The
women of foreign countries, in the past,
undoubtedly had greater appreciation
OF the near relation of the bath to per
sonal beauty than the women Of tbs
United States. That great change in
this direction has been wrought is shown
by the greater intelligence shown by
American women to- day in the matter OK
bathing and their growing prediction
for what is known as Swedish mas
sage.

THE DOLEFUL TALE.

Personally, or as a neighbor, a Demo-
crat may be at once clever, nice and
honorable; but take him when aggre-
gated politically, or when acting individ-
ually for party interests, he IS wholly
unreliable, intriguing, dishonest, fit for
little less than dirty fusion and unholy
spoils. And no better exponent of the
foregoing declaration could be devised
than that afforded by the brief and dis
gushing history of the present morgan
lied and unmixed evil holding forth at
Topeka under the misleading namo of
'the state legislature The Repub-
licans did not have q majority OF the
joint houses, but nobody, not even the
Democrats, dared deny that the Repub-
leans had clear majority of the house.
In truth the Democrats officially recog-
nized that fact The Republicans desir-
ing to avoid everything that might
bring discredit to the state,
offered to support for the United States
senate any straightout Democrat that
the bosses or the little Democratic con-
tingent of the house and senate might
name. Did the Democrats accept so
honorable and advantageous a proposal !?
No, They endorsed a half-and-half
political dodger, chosen by the very
body which they had declared to be
Illegal. Then came the state printer
ship. Surely, the Republicans having
conceded the senatorship to the Demo-
Gratis, the Democrats in turn must either
concede the Partnership to a Republican
or TO some Democrat But they did not
Our dispatches Of yesterday morning
tell the doIeful tale The Populist pub
Usher, Snow, who breaches anarchy, Is
reelected by Democratic votes.
There seems but one thing left for
honest and honorable Democrats TO do.
and that is to join with the Republican
party in saving the state from revolution
by wiping out the political combine now
Ieigning at Topeka.

WHAT IS THERE TO CAMP

Now that the Republicans have lost
both the United States senator and the
state printer, what is the party to gain
by holding on to their house orgauiza-
ton? This is not petty query, peevish
ly asked, but square question. II the
Republicans hold on to the house the
chances are that all the responsibilities
for all the blunders which must inevita-
bly, come out Of this ned!y OF blunders
viii be shouldered onto the Re
publican party. The opposition have
the hide, the hoof5 and the tail,
why hold on to the dangerous
horns? Why? The states credit can
suffer little if any more than 1t has al
ready suffered. There is neither cali
of duty, or of possible glory, in stand
ing up as a target for the catapult Of a
mob who declare themselves and their
organization to be superior to all laws.
The world knows that tie Republicans
hold majority Of the legal
certificates, but nobody asks them to
use force to obtain that which
would only prove an embarrass-
ment. The state must go on,
with all its institutions, which must be-
provided for in appropriations, by leg
which must have some claim to
a legal organization. Why not let the
revo!uloniat5 and EXTREMIST take the
entire responsibility for all the trouble
and the wrong which must inevitably
aow from their hgh-handed proceed
ngs?
This is not declaration, hardly sug-
yestion, but a simple question which
might possibly be proftabIy considered
BY Republicans.

Queer srit OF a HioycIiss.

A curious case has been decided By
the Saxon court of appeals sitting at
Dresden. At Krossen there is toll
bridge over the Nude, and only foot
passengers may cross free. 4 young
man who rode across on his bicycle was
charged the regular fee for a two
wheel vehicle, but paid under protest
Having occasion TO return the same
way he dismounted at tho approach 70
the bridge and walked across, carrying
his machine on his head. This time the
toll-gatherer protested but 70 no
purpose. Suit was brought against
the bicyclist IN the local court
to compel him 70 pay toll and
costs, and a verdict for the de-
fendant was rendered; an appeal was
taken to the supreme court. which re-
versed the decision Of the lower cJ1rt
and found for the plaintiff Appeal
was again taken, this time TO the court
Of lat resort, which decided that coil
could be collected only for vehicles
which came IN actual contact with the
bridge. Judgment reversed verdict tor

ELABORATE FEASTS.
In Venice People GiIded Oysters, and In

In Venice People Giided Oysters, and In
Eagland They Ate for Hours.
1t was the vogue at one time in
Venice to glide the roles of bread and
the oysters on the supper table. The
candles were also coated with gold
We read Of dinners of state which
lasted four hours Something of their
nature may be discerned in the bril-
liant pictures of Vercnese, which, seen
in Venice, give us so vivid an idea Of
Venetian life three or four centuries
ago. There were. of course, also ban
quets of quite exceptional lavishness
in honor of the distinguished guests
who were constantly drawn into the
vortex of Venetian gayety.
In 1852 the Patriarch OF Aouileia
feted Ranuecio Farnese, the pope's
nephew, in his palace on the Guidecca.
The rooms were decked with extraor-
binary sumptuousness, cloth of gold,
paintings, and Examinations adding to
the effect produced by the Patriarch's
coats. Among the guests were twelve
gentlemen in fancy marine costume of
green satin with red lining, wearing
companied by a lady dressed in white.
This repast also lasted four hours,
varied by music and the professional
entertainers of the day. 1t ended with
the cutting up of certain large pies,
from which live birds flew out into the
room. The guests strove with each
other to catch those birds.
But, perhaps, the most expensive
banquet ever given in Venice was that
to Henry III. of France. He was
Toasted in the great hall of the Doge's
palace, ana there were silver plates for
three thousand guests. At another
time the same monarch was enter

The Venetians were nightly pleased
when Henry took his napkin in his
hand, and, to his surprise, found that
It broke to pieces. At this feast one
thousand two huudred!and sixty differ

bred sugar efigies were distributed
among the ladies.
Whatever might have been said
against the Venetians. they were hos

from the khan of Tartary visited the

SOUL BEAUTY.
REV. JOHN F. Won HKRRLIoH.


How sweetly sounds that myth OF old
Which tells OF beauty's birth,
OF how she sprang from oceans foam
Immortal 10 the earth.
The goddess rising from, the spray
Which tips the fieeting pillow,
Yet sp:inging into deathless life
From cen so frail pillow.
Il seems 10 speak-across the void
From ages far away.
To tell how human hearts may read
A lesson in decay.
A lesson that IS taught Us now
IN every evenings sky,
II every rose that blooms on earth,
In every dew-drop's eye,
II every note which stirs The soul,
As music softly sweIis,
Or fails upon the listening ear
The sound of distant bells.
It tells Is though the sunset fades,
Win all its golden sp!endor.
Though dies from OFF the dew-drop's breas
Its beauty pure and tender.
That though the frost may blight the ross
And nusic's pulses perish.
There is beauty Of the soul
Which Heaven seeks 10 cherish.
4 beauty that viii ever last,
A gem that dims, no never,
For though the outer casket fades
This beauty lasts forever,

FOREIGN IMMIGRATIoN.

Gustave II. Schwab of New York, a
representative of the North German
Lloyd steamship company, proposes, in
an article in the February Forum, as a
practical remedy for evils Of immigra-
ton that the way to solve the problem
is to place quarantine at the port Of de-
parture instead Of passing laws prohibit
ing the landing Of foreigners in the
steerage. He argues that while the
United States cannot have in fact juris-
diction over foreign ports, yet these YES
sells regularly run to our shores and can
be forced, if they do not comply with a
quarantine requirement of the United
States such as described at the port Of
departure, to undergo a lengthy quaran-
line on arrival, the mere threat of which
viii be sufficient to insure compliance,
as no steamship line would for an in
slant hesitate to choose a quarantine
Of Storage passengers at the port
of departure and before embarkation
rather than long detention of vessel,
cargo, cabin and steerage passengers at
the port of arrival. If fear of the chol-
era alone Is all that the anti-immigra-
ton laws are aiming at, the plan here
proposed settles it.
But, while the necessity for immedi-
ate action on the part of this govern
ment looking to the exclusion Of the
cholera is imperative, other interests are
at stake here and demanding tie inter
ference of the government. The intro
duction of fatal epidemic affects the
immediate, physical condition of the
people who might be thrown within its
range; but other influence equally as
dangerous to the moral and social well
being of the whole people are constantly
coming hither unaccompanied by physi-
cal infection and the country needs the
protection Of the government against
these, which needs are as imperative as
the other.
