1t seems that Windy Gus does
not want to be regarded as Souri,

Col. Patrick Fields, who has been
a Democrat almost ever since the

vote for Judge Noonan and Protec-

Judge Heron and Judge

What does Gus have to say about
it?
Windy Gus has been singing that

district. An old cow man re-
marked, after he had heard Gus
about the daises, he wished Hous-
ton was daisy, and that old cow
would come along and step on him.
Windy Gus is trying to get up
audiences to hear him spout by
printing in his dodgers that Judge
NOonan will be present to have a
joint debate with him. The people
are on to Gus and his slick tricks.
Windy Gus told his audience at
Blanco that he was in Judge
Noonan's company at Castroville,
aud added that the Judge only
spoke few words and then left
for his ranch. Gus wanted his
hearers to understand that he had
sent the old Judge to grass in short
order. Gus, the people are on to

over the tariff outrage, it says, "the

troops Of his devoted regiment, was
hurried forth to brush them out OF the
Mini Ska, and then to go on and help
some comrades four hundred miles
away who were too few in number for
the work in hand. To Curran's dis
gust, the battalion marched out leav-

Not that the soldiers could help it at
all, but because they themselves were
creditors who couldn't collect. Then,
to Curran's delight, it was announced
that Maj. Graves was sent out by rail
to pay them before they got too far
away. Curran rejoicingly set forth to
meet him and be present at the cere-
mony, and thereby, doubtless, collect a
large portion of the dollars due him.
Curran thoughtfully, too, loaded up q

twas after breakfast that Mrs Woods
had come for her and, with other la
dies, had driven out to the butte south
of the post, from whose side the Mini
Ska could be traced for miles, but to
whose summit Connie alone had been
bold and active enough to climb All
he saw and realized now was that his
darling had been pale and languid,
plainly dropping for awhile, and then
all on a sudden. at the coming of that
little note, sunshine, gladness, graft
tude, joy, all had beamed from her
speaking eyes; had dubbed from her
girlish heart in song. He had mourned
the mothers loss before, but it was
as nothing compared with the helpless
yearning that possessed him now. Who
was there to counsel, who was there to
take his beloved child to her heart,
and with mother love and sympathy,
with mother kiss and clasping arms, in
the sure haven Of mothers changeless
love win from the virgin soul its cher
ished secret, then guide and guard and
counsel as only mothers can?
Poor Morgan! He would not read
the boys frank letter. That might i'm
ply doubt of his little girl. He could
not consult such friends as Mrs Free
man; she had taken her babies and fit
ted away to the seashore for the sum
1ner. Mrs. Stannard, once his wife's
kind friend and adviser, had gone long
months before. when the major went
TO his new station. There were loving
women, kind women, motherly women
at the post, yet not those to whom he
could speak of anything SO sacred.
Neither could he bring himself to the
faintest reference to the matter in talk
ing with his child There was simply
one thing which he could do, thought
Morgan. All the winter he had been
growing fond and fonder of the bright
faced, glad voiced, soldierly young fell
low; but now, now. if it should trans
pire that all this time Thornton had
been laying siege to Comics innocent
heart, he could hate him and in time
crush and punish.
At noon the sergeant came to say the
stores were boxed and ready for ship
ment Would the lieutenant sign the
invoices? Over at the adjutant's Office
the infantry bugler had just sounded
mess and orderly call. The companies
were going in to dinner, the noise and
hustle around the barracks contrasting
strongly with the silence and desertion
over there across the parade where
stood the cavalry quarters AS Morgan
came forth into the bright sunshine of
the first June day, he noted how the
snow-belt on the distant peak had
lifted higher in the last forty-eight
hours, and thought, with a heavy sigh,
how care and trouble had sunk 50 much

trudging along. One or two officers
were with him. A telegraph message
was in his hand, and he was looking
strangely worried. All of the group
ceased their talk and glanced at Nor

CHAPTER v.
Old Curran, the sutler-for su tier he
was long years before his designation
was changed to post trader, and longer
still before his occupation was wiped
out entirely by the civilizing process
which made bartenders of "blue-coats"
Old Curran had been losing money
all winter, and was growing about it.
He looked to the payment following
the April muster to recoup him for his
losses, as many a good soldier was deep
in his books. The payment should have
been made in May, but for some rea-
son it was postponed, possibly in order
that the paymaster might make the
circuit Of the Gordon of posts in the
bright weather Of early June; but q
pack of young rascals and malcontents
at the Indian reservation had been
turbulent all spring, and no sooner
was the snow out Of the Mini Ska val
ley than the cattle came after the bud

the cattle. They were hungry, no,
doubt the Sioux sometimes are, de-

CHAPTER VI.

It was one o'clock that afternoon be-
fore the sheriff reached the post.
Butteville, the thriving county seat,
lay just five miles away to the south
west, and hard prairie road connected
it with the post As distributing
point to the mines and a market for
the ranchmen the growing town had
shot rapidly into Importance. Two
banks, both reliable, two hotels, we'll
patronized, and shops and stores in
good number, were barely able to sup
ply the demands. Dozens of bustling
men breakfasted every morning at the
big clearinghouse of the railway COM
pany, where the west-bound express
was supposed to find ample sustenance
for its passengers before pushing on
for the long days run through the
mountains. The sheriff and tie cor
oner, as was the case in most frontier
cities Of The day, were by long odds the
hardest-worked officials, and just now
the sheriff was fairly used up. The
first intimation Of any thing wrong east
Of Butteville was the sudden stop OF
the wires. Up to day break train
dispatchers and night operators sit
ting, red-eyed and weary, over their
inst uments, after the long hours Ct

KANSAS REPUBLICANS.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Kansas Republicans have assumed an
attitude that means the redemption of
the state this year by a thoroughly uni
fled party. They have decided wisely
against permitting side issues of any
kind to create factional differences, and
in the convention of Wednesday, one of
the best natured and most harmonious
ever held in Kansas, courteously but
firmly refused to cumber their platform
with planks that were not made of sound
Republican timber.
Experience is most convincing
teacher. The events and incidents of
the past two years produced by Demo-
cratic maladministration and turpitude
have more positively demonstrated the
dangers of trifiing with vital principles
by permitting merely local questions
and theoretical problems to set aside
into secondary place the real facts of
party distinction. In the last national
election victory was given to the Demo-
cratic party entirely through the recre-
ancy, folly, short-sightedness or willful-
ness of elements of the Republican party.
Argument, reasoning failed to check the
erroneous tendency or to persuade NAL.
contents and enthusiasts that the theo-
ries and doctrines they were attempting
to force upon the party threatened the
welfare of the nation, and therefore
Imperfect the peace, happiness, and
prosperity of the individual. But the
experience of two years has brought
home to Republicans OF all degrees the
irrefutable truth that desired reforms
are easier to accomplish within party's
strength than through the party's dis
Indignation.
The Republicans of Kansas, misled by
enthusiasts and extremists, Surren-
dered the power and strength of their
unity for time and have reaped
bountlful harvest of regrets and misfor-
tunes. But out of their experience in
the past two years they view with great
er wisdom and more dispassionatelv the
mission and purpose of Republican
ism and perceive that their old party is
founded upon the only principle that
can secure to this country d sound, wise,
and bene6cent government. They have
come back resolutely and with single pur-
pose into the fold land that is the spirit of
the hour everywhere, in every state that
has known the benefits of Republican,
ism. For the next three years Republic
canism will be straight Republicanisni,
without variation or modification, and
in 1896 there will be the grandest Re-
publican majority that ever expressed
the sane will of people.

A woMAN,s VIEW.
POND CREEK, o. T.

POND CREEK, o. 7.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Ihave read with much pleasure the in
terest you are taking IN fighting female
suffrage and feel that all who sympath ize
with you should thank you in behalf of all
you have done and encourage you to con-
tinue to struggle for. the right. Hoist the
| flag of danger while it is yet time. Should
Kansas once adopt female suffrage all adj
venturesome lawyers and Others who have
| worked so hard to obtain political promi-
nence would Immediately flock there from
ali quarters of the globe and could only
| result in degrading women without eieva-
ting or purifying politics.
There are but very few women who de-
sire the right of suffrage and should the
majority be sacrificed to please the minor
ity?
Women now occupy O higher posi-
ton than she can ever hope
to obtain in the political sphere
She now has the power and does rule the
world through her influence over the men
of our nation. But her duty is in her
home where her influence be it good or
bad, remains forever with its inmates.
'All that / am owe to my angel moth
err" were the words of that noble aud pa
triotic statesman, Abraham Lincoln.
But if women were given the right OF
SOHraSe tney Snouiu De cOmDefled TO snare
equally ali duties now imposed on men
only; such as work upon the public high
ways, serve in the army and navy, etc, and
if she were not would it not be violating
our glorious constitution by compelling
one class 10 do thing. and exempting the
other, while both have equal rights.
1t is safe to say that law touches men
ten times where il touches women once,
and then touches her with tenderness and
paI tiality. Woman should cultivate and
glory in grace, beauty, purity, gentleness
and charity. A man should pride himself
on power, honesty, sobriety and strength.
Why should we come down from the
lofty and secure seats we now occupy hop
ing to secure honor and fame by means OF
female suffrage?
Ladies can purify the political atmos-
phere- not by voting and electioneering. but
by living so as to instill in the mind of
those we meet lessons of morality,
sobriety, gentleness aud purity, SO that
your influence and example will ever
shine in their life as bright star whose
light cannot be darkened by vice. TO
live in hearts, we leave behind is not to
die" Yours respectfully,
LOUISA KOCH,
Formerly of Kansas.

The great seal' is often mentioned
as 1.-THE SEALS because it is made in two
parts, the diverse and the reverse.
Formerly, when . new seal was used,
the old one was broken into pieces, the
destruction being q tremendous act.
The pieces were perquisite of the
chancellor. In modern days the cere-
mony of breaking the old seal consists
in the sovereign's giving it gentle
blow with a hammer. It is then sup
posed to be broken, and has lost all its
virtue as a symbol of the royal author
ity. The lord chancellor preserves the
broken seal and hands it down rs an
heirloom to his descendants.
The breaking of the old seal was the
occasion of an amicable contest be-
tween Lord Lyndhurst and Lord
Brougham. When on the accession of
William ~. new seal was ordered,
Lyndhurst was chancellor. When the
new seal was finished and put to use,
Brougham was chancellor. Each
claimed the old seal as his perquisite
The matter was submitted to the king,
who, in the presence of the privy coun-
ell said:
We'll, then, 1 viii Judge between
you, like Solomon: Here-turning the
seal round and round-how do you cry,
heads or tails?"
Sir said Brougham, Il take the
bottom part"
J The king then ordered each part to
be set in a silver salyer, with the royal
arms on one side, and on the other the
respective arms of Brougham and
!Lyndhurst. These he presented to
them. A similar dispute arose between
Lord Chelmsford and Lord Campbell,
and Queen Victoria followed the prece-
dent of William w.

THE FRENCH LABORER.

From the Contemporary Review.
The material condition of the day
laborer is not so good as it was fifteen
or even ten years ago; one may con-
fidently affirm that they earn three
pounds less than they did, and farm
servant of twenty years two pounds
less. Still. rent is the same, the taxes,
however slight they may be. have in
creased, wood is dearer, bread is GER
tainly not cheaper; clothing alone costs
less now. The cause of this state Of
things must undoubtedly be attributed
to agricultural depression which has
pervaded all Europe, and to the bad
harvests of the last ten years. How
ever, their condition is much better
than it was half a century ago in every
way. Then men might be seen thrash
ing the corn in winter, working by the
light of q lamp from $3.50 a. N. to p.
m. receiving only sixpence a day and
their food, and during harvest they
earned only one shilling and sixpence
a day.
A farm servant of fourteen years of
age, who now earns at least four
pounds year. then received only his
food, the farmer supplying him with
wooden shoes and blouse; at seven
teen only would he begin to earn a
little money. AS rule the French
laborer is sober, industrious, hardworl-
ing and thrifty, his chief aim being to
save little money or to buy land to
leave to his children. As rule fami-
lies are not numerous, and one rarely,
if ever. sees such early marriages as
are frequent among the lower classes
in England. One reason is that the
military service is compulsory; every
man, unless physically disabled, is
bound to serve for three years, from
twenty-one TO twenty-four; SO they
cannot marry till this is over at any
rate. and many do not till much later.
However, the military service IS GER
tainly borne without reluctance and as
a matter of course br most Frenchmen.
