He hung up window curtains till 1T

He wrestled with the kitchen stove till

He mended all her broken chairs and
sat down in the glue:
He put her chromos up and tied his
arms ia knot:
And prayed to be beneath it when he
dug her old grass plot.
He labored on the wood-pile tree-his
back refused the test:
He polished up the silver till his spirits
longed to rest:
He ran en- shopping errands, raising

durham Recon derl

Thurman Reco1 der
For the last few years the farmers
have been trying to make money, and
have to large extent, neglected the
one thing needful, that is, raising
their supplies. The result OF such a
course is well known.
Provisions are scarce among them
and are high at the stores Their
tobacco crops have failed to bring the
price they anticipated, and the result
is disastrous.
We are anxious to see every farmer
in the country on the road to pros
perity, and when his granery and
smokehouse ere filed from the pro-
ducts of his own land then success
will crswn his efforts. The manner IL
which his affairs have been conducted
for the past few yesrs have caused
him to come to town for everything
He spends much of his time and men
ey n carrying fertilizers to his farm
when upon the farm all the elements
for better grade of fertilizers are
plentiful and if the time spent il
coming to town were put TO mixing
composts, the result would be mar
velous.
We have had experience enough at
farm work to know what we ale talk
ing about, aad had it not been for
defective hand doubtless we would
have been behind the plow to-day.
Some people look upon r"rn wori,
as kind of drudgery in which none
but second class people are engag 1.
These people are simply in error.
Many farmers are much discouraged
and complain Of hard times. but the
fault does not lie in the farm. The
land is just as productive as it ever
was. Spend this summer in making
your supplies and next winter vii
find your granery well filled.
There is one drawback to many
farmers that is not taken into consid~
Grafton, and that is very serious
one. Many Of them come to town
perfectly sober bat before leaving
they must take a few drinks and carry
quart or two home with them These
drinks are not taken with view Of
being benefited, but simply because
they want and don't know what thev
want. We have known farmers to
bring wood to town and get its full
value ia cash and then spend half of
it for whiskey or brandy, and the re-
mainder for -four and meat. Such
farmers can find no legislature that
will bent fit them.
Some young men brought up on
farms seem to think they could dress

NATIONAL REPUBLICANISM FOR
KANSAS.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
We have read and read again several
times your ''leader" in Thursday s
EAGLE. 1t has the right ring to it. You
say ''for all the unseemly outrages grow
ing out of the high handed assumptions
of an obdurate minority, Governor L. D.
Lewelling is alone responsible and en-
tirely to blame" That is all true. We
note that part of the press of the state
charge him UP to Wichita as being her
choice for governor and that she labored
| hard to secure his election. That is not
true.
Ia the city of Wichita Lswelling re-
ceived more than 500 votes less than
Smith, notwithstanding the fact that
many voted for Lewelling simply be-
cause he was "Wichita man." hoping
| that some little good might come out of
Iowa, and Wichita gain little prestige
and renown. But alas!-the old saying is
true: "You cannot make whistle cut
of pigs tail"
But who is 'to blame" for the
condition of things that made the cleo
ton of this political novice and i'm
pertinent tyrO possible? None others
than the hypocritical and hollow hearted
would-be leaders of the Republican
party, who have for so many years
manipulated the Republican party in
Kansas for their own personal interests,
much to the disgust and distrust of the
people. The city of Wichita indicated
her political good sense, and proclaimed
her choice for governor, last June when
five hundred of her leading business
men and citizens went TO Topeka, with
the name of Kansan inscribed upon
their banners who. had he been nomi-
mated by the Republican convention,
would have swept the state by $4,000
majority; and anarchy and misrule, and
diSrespect for popular government would
have been buried in an SYNONYMOUS
grave, and this upstart would have been
today working his rancid butter and
asserting his over ripe hen fruit instead
of calling out the state militia at great
expense to witness a public farce, and
monkey shines Of a political adventurer.
Why was our man not nominated?
Simply because he could not be depend
ed upon to keep the old-barnacles and
leecheS in office.
But the state Of Kansas will emerge
from this political fanfarinade, un-
scathed, and unframed, and the Repub-
lican party will rise from the ashes of
destroyed hypocrisy, fanaticism, and !
tyranny TO a new life, and new organ |
ization. Two years hence the political !
buffoon now in the gubernatorial chair |
will be relegated to his "cold storage" |
there to be preserved as a specimen of a |
man who tried TO be somebody and !
couldn't-who tried to do something and |
didn't know how.
The Republican party will be reor-
gained, but not with prohibition" and |
woman suffrage" inscribed upon her !
banners; nor with some old worn out /
political hack" as leader The spirit of /
personal liberty. and individual freedom |
in Kansas will no longer be dictated 20 /
by political cranks. National Repub- /
licanism' will be the watchworf two |
years hence, and will lead on to victory. |

accident, policy, compromise and war he
saw the end.
He was patient, as Destiny, whose
undecipherable heiroglyphics were so
deeply craven on his sad and tragic face.
Nothing discloses real character like
the use of power. 1t IS easy for the weak
to be gentle. Most people can bear ad-
versity. But, if you wish to know what
man really is, give him power. This
is the supreme test. The glory OF Lin
coin is, that. having almost absolute
power, he never abused it except on the
side Of mercy.
Wealth could not purchase, power
could not awe. this divine, this
loving man. He knew no fear,
except the fear of doing wrong.
Hating slavery, plying the master
seeking to conquer not persons but
prejudices-he WAS the embodiment of
the self-denial, the courage, the hope
and the nobility OF a nation.
He spoke not to infame, not to up
braid, but to convince.
He raised his hands not to strike, but
in berediction.
He longed to pardon. He loved to see
the pearls of JOY on the cheeks of wife
whose husband he had rescued from
death.
Lincoln was the grandest figure Of the
fierceSt civil war. He Is the GentleSt
memory of our world.

It is observed that Mr.. Cleveland has
not called a single one of his form er

for the future. Some take this as indi-
eating that he will make new deal all
around in the matter of appointments.
Another and quite different theory is
suggested in this declaration from Don
Dickinson, Cleveland's former postmas-
ter: 81 am through with playing clerk

The idea has long prevailed among
builders and others that pine lumber
manufactured from bled timber; that is.
from trees that have been tapped for
turpentine, was inferior to that from
timber that had not been so treated. The
department of agriculture has for the
past two years been having experiments
made in various ways to test the matter
and ascertain the facts. A circular has
Just been issued setting forth the result
of the inquiry which is that 'the timber
of longleaf pine is in no way affected by
the tapping for turpentiue."
