PLUMB'S STATFSM ANsaIP

The agitation of the question of ap-
pointing a tariff commission recalls to
mind one Of the most practical and
level-headed men that ever sat in the
Senate. the late Preston B. Plumb.
Mr.. Plumb advocated a tariff commits
sicn that would take It ous of politics
and put the tariff upon a business basis,
and into the hands of body of men
who could protect the interests of this
country. The plan involved tie reci-
procity idea; the placing of our surplus
products and the buying of our supplies
upon the most advantageous terms;
doing the interchange of business be-
tween this and foreign nations upon
sound commercial ideas; taking advan-
tage Of The fact that We export almost
wholly the neceSsaries of life and i'm
port largely of the Injuries: that q
home or local market was at all times
the highest type of reciprocity as it is
most conducive TO prosperity.

ROYAL GENTL,ENESS.

From the Youths Companion.
A lady in waiting 20 the princess OF
Wales told to a friend touching little
incident which took place soon after
the death of her son, the duke of Clar-
ence.
The princess with her usual gentle
reticence tried to hide her grief for her
frst-born. 1t was shown only in her
failing health, and increased tender
consideration for all around her.
One day while walking with one of
her ladies in the quiet lanes near Sand
bingham, she met an old woman weep.
ing bitterly and tottering under load
of packages On inquiry it appeared
that she was a carrier, and made her
living-by shopping. and doing errands
in the market town for the country
people.
But the weight is too heavy at your
age" said the princess
Yes You're right, ma'am. I'll
have to give it up, and if give it up
III starve. Jack carried them for me
my boy, ma'am"
"And where is he now?"
Jack He's dead, Oh, he's dead"
the old woman cried wildly.
The princess, without word, hur.
ried on, drawing her veil over her face,
to hide her tears
A few days later a neat little cart
with stout donkey were brought to
the old carriers door. She now travels
with them 10 and fro, making COM
fcrtable living. and never has been
told the rank of the friend who has
tried TO make her life easier for the
sake of her dead boy.
The quiet, even life OF this princess
is filed with MANY kindly, thoughtful
acts. she is probably the most femi-
nine woman in England" a well
known Englishman said lately.
She has, with all of her good sense,
her own little womanish whims, too,
which only endear her more to the
people. Sac always steadily refuses 20
follow fashions to extremes The
princess, other women say with afec-
tionate amusement IS years behind
the modep'
Another popularity is her dislike of
msnnish articles of dress when worn
by women Her own costume is al
ways soft and flowing. She never has
worn the coats, vests, nor jauDty mems
hats which women affect, and even has
rejected the comfortable ulster as "a
eoSchman's garment"
King Christian Of Denmark, before q
strange series OF events brought him
to the throne, lived obscurely on mar
row income II may have been this
early experience in her fathers family
which has given 20 the princess her
sincere, earnest character. and her dis
regard for pomps and ceremonies She
lives her own quiet gentle life. keep

that fierce light which beats upou-

4 SENSATIONAL BOOK.

Emerson said: SIS not marriage an
open question, when ic is alleged from
the beginning of the world, that such as
are in IL wish TO get out, and such as
are ouc wish TO get in?" ga New Eng
land Woman, or The Confession of a
Modern Jean Jacques Rousseau" by
Robert Fennimore, now in press by the
Socrates Publishing company of New
York, promises to be very sensational
view of the inside of married life, not
wholly from the "KreutZer Sonata"
estimate, but rather from Lord Tenny
sons idea found in the immortal lines:
"Oh woman thou art lesser man
And thy Passions unto mine
Are as moonlight unto sunlight
And as water unto wine.'
Socrates, with all his golden mind and
sentiment, had he lived without Kan
tippe, the virago and shrew, would So
crates have been as great as IL his wife
had been a woman of soft passion and of
love? But the author of the above book
cooks the New England woman who
may love and get over it, but if she
hates once hates on forever. The Lord
declared it was not good for man to be
alone, but the writer thinks the Lord
ignored the possibilities of the New Eng
land woman. Put beggar on horse
back" and everybody knows the rest.
This book holds that give woman an
inch and she will take an ell. Let a
man worship woman, let him show it,
let him for an instant-if only once-give
the woman the bit and CAD and the
veriest angel will become termagant
Man loves power because God gave it
to HIM, and true man does not mis-
trust it." Women love power because
it does not belong to them," and the man
might go to her with pistol in his
hands and threaten to blow out his
brains, and he could do it for all her, for
she would not yield.
The book will not lack for demand if
the advance sheets give the real esti-
mate of its sensational contents.

LIABLE TO HIT KANSAS.

j. B. Stone, ESQ, in communication
to the Lawrence World. takes up the
Denver war as inaugurated by Cover
nor Waite, and then very vigorously de-
nounces the unwarranted assumption OF
power and the subversion of the rights
of the people III the one-nlan scheme OF
appointing police commissioners for the
government of cities. A governor might
as well be empowered to appoint county
commissioners, aud constables or any
other municipal officer.
The EAGLE put itself on record years
ago touching this usurpation which had
its birth of crankism and extremists.
We had the pleasure of denouncing the
bill before it became a law and Of
following it up through sew
eral state administrations. IF the
people realized the unwarranted do
minion of such rule and its danger as a
precedent they would wipe it out. The
Gov. Waite episode. which is liable to
end in blood, is a plain instance OF
what might happen to Wichita or to
any of the six or seven cities OF this
state whose government rests IN the
hands of the governor. As we nave
often said before, the law is unAmerl-
can, depriving municipalities of powers
which should only be lodged in the peo-
pie. This abuse was not the wish Of the
people of the cities affected, but was
forced upon them by the representatives
of municipalities and districts where it
does not apply. 1t will not be repealed
probably until some conflict between the
people of one of these towns and the
governor ends IN blood
