RUMP AND GIzZARD.

The editor of the Eagle was the reel
pient of three letters yesterday from
men each of whom entertain very earn
est convictions touching the monetary
situation. One of the letters was from
Il gentleman prominent in Oklahoma,
one from south Kansas business man,
and the other from a capitalist living
in the city of New York The latter let
ter is ten closely type written pages of
intermingled abuse. protest and argu-
ment against the Eagles position on
the silver question. The other two let
tors are unqualified Endorsements of
the views expressed in these columns.
with additional assurances that the
people of Oklahoma and of Kansas, re-
specuyely, are with us. The New York
epistle declares: You western fellows
al misconStrue the causes of the hard
times" Both of the other writers enI-
phatfcally assert that America must
remonetize her silver or otherwise We
will become a nation of borrowing beg
CARS and industrial slaves.
These letters, each, are marked priv
ate, otherwise the temptation 10 pub
fish them would be strong. There be-
ing 30 question as to the honesty of the
writer's, their diverse declarations con-
sttUte an interesting study. They
clearly show that the silver question is
not only the one which contains more
interest than any other now before the
public. but that il is q sectional one.
That it will be thus decided there is
little question. The New York letter
was written by lifelong Republican
who believes Cleveland to be sound, at
least, ON the financial question. The
Kansas letter is from Democrat who
holds the president to be Il traitor to
both his party and TO the best interests
of the country. The New York gentle
man goes on to say how the west will
get such q setback as it has never
dreamed of; that our only salvation is
10 curry favor with those who have
money TO loan, and TO invest in west
ern enterprises for development. The
Oklahoma and Kansas men both unite
in denouncing the short sightedneSs Of
the eastern men whose greed must
eventually prove their ruin. The New
York man closes with: ''That man OF
your intelligence should persist in a
course which must bankrupt Kansas,
surprises me beyond measure" The
oklahoma man concludes with: "Stdnd
firm in the position you have taken; it
is the only hope, for in the dominancy
of the western idea is sure salvation for
the people of the whole country"
OF course the Eagle is for the west,
for its broader intelligence and purer
patriotism. But in being SO, we would
he neither wild-eyed POpulist or u re-
pudiator. In consenting that the east
ern shylock is entitled to his sound
pound of flesh, we would, in the cutting
of it away, protect the heart of the
western victim-cOmpel him TO accept
q slice of rump with his sweet breads
and giZZards.

Even in the light careless newspaper

Even in the light careless newspaper
humor. this jest is shameful.
From another source comes the in
formation that Clara Louise kellogg is
a pauper in New York. Clara Louise
Kellogg used to sing all over the land.
Her pictures filled the papers. Her
dresses were copied by fashion. Her
company was coveted by opulence.
Royalty requested her TO appear before
them that they might hear her voice.
There was then only one Clara Louise
Kellogg. Nothing was too good for her
in praise price and honor.
Her earnings were large. She made
thousands upon thousands. They were
lost through investments. She possess
ed at one time million dollars.
The world forgot Clara Louise Kel-
Iogg. almost as quickly as it had begun
to worship her Four or five years ago
she appeared in Wichita. 1t was her
last grand tour. Wichita, with the
rest of the country. had ceased 10 adj
mire her. Probably fifty people We're

appeared. She was ridiculously fat
and awkward. Her clothes We're old
and did not fit and the applause was
stinted and pitiable in contrast to the
vocal eXertions of the singer to elicit
mare praise.
Clara Louise kellogg never came
west again. She is in New York City
and her present condition in life is de-
scribed as follows by 4 New York
paper:
In Twelfth street. near Sixth avenue,
New York, there is a little restaurant
known as 'Maria's.'' 1t is freuUented by
men and women of Bohemian tendencies.
A table d'hote is served for 80 cents The
quality of the food is just about what one
can imagine 50 cents will buy. The peo-
pie sit at one long table. They elbow
each other as they eat, and half dozen
languages are talked simultaneously.
1t is a place that one would probably
forego if he could afford 10 pay more
than 80 cents a dinner. Yet to this place
goes almost nightly one of the most cele-
brated women New York has known, a
great songstress. This is Clara Louise
Kellogg, whose name in private is MIS-.
StrakoSch.

Is UNFAIR CRITICISM.


fair. have attempted to criticise An
drew Carnegie'S article on the tariff In
the March Forum. His views have
been held to ridicule by both parties
directly, because they fail TO tally with
the stuff of which party platforms are
made. and candid readers will see that
he has IA policy of his own, and 1t Is
difficult TO see how it would Cypress the
masses if laws were enacted to carry
it out His first proposition is to keep
free of duty the neceSsarieS OF life used
by the many, and to tax highly the lux
uries of the few. The masses who
wear and consume home products L
would not tax" says the writer, but
the luxurious men and women of fash
ion who will wear, at whatever cost,
the fine woolens and expuiSitely fine
linens of Europe, should pay the tariff
duties. 1t should never be forgotten,
he says, that imported articles are used
by the rich few. and home products by
the masses" He argues the question
from the point of revenue only, and not
upon its bearing toward protection or
free trade. He shows wherein 1.-The
principal change produced by the VIII
son bill was to reduce duties upon two
thirds of the total tariff revenues ex-
clusively for the benefit of the rich,
who alone use imported goods.
In view of the fact that our revenues
have been so reduced as to necesSitate
the making of new debts to pay current
expenses, it is difficult to see how any
one but blind partisan, Swayed by
prejudice or self-interest, could object
TO his position
He fayors reciprocity as embodying
the true principle, and cites the eXper-
fence already had as an illustration of
its perfect feasibility. He would also
re-establish the bounty on home grown
sugar, ut least until the experiment of
growing the beet and sorghum III this
country for sugar making has been
fully made.
He objects to frequent Interruptions
of tariff laws, and especially to those
radical changes calculated TO disturb
or revolutionize any given industry i'll
this country
From business and rational stand
point all these premises are correct,
and there is nothing made by reaching
out for motives i'll the mind Of the
writer in thus stating his views in his
own way. He may favor protection or
he may not There is nothing in his
article which commits him TO either
policy. 1t is fair always TO follow the
text in either commencing or criticiZ-
ing Il writer's views. In so far as he
would increase the revenues, which we
so much need at present, by increas-
ing the duties ON imported luXuries
there would be almost unanimous con
sent by the people of the whole coun-
try. 1t would place most OF the bur
den upon the shoulders OF those most
able TO bear it. and relieve the masses
who are unable TO provide the the
necessities, even at the lowest cost Ii
would simply restore that feature o.
the Mckinley act Having tried 1t.
we know it is practical and just.

place about one month ago and is alb
solutely true in every detail. The poem
is based upon the facts as given by the
New York World)
1t was off the coast of Schleswig,
One awful stormy morn,
When through the roar of the tempest
The sound of gun was borne;
1t came from a wreck fast sinking,
Way off on a distant reef,
Whose signals told the story:
'God save us-send relief"
The little village, startled,
Half gathered on the shore,
They soon brought out the life-boat,
Each hero seized an oar;
But where is Harro the Captain,
Each fisherman eagerly cried,
Then, without their valient leader,
They faced the flashing tide.
Their little bark, like feather,
Was tossed from wave to wave,
But God and strength are always
With the noble and the brave.
They reached the stranded vessel,
The lifeline soon was cast,
And each one of the sinking crew
Was safe in the boat at last.
Their little bark half sinking,
Was headed for the shore,
When the voice of one half persisted, cried:
God save I implore!"
But the angry sea rolls higher,
Their boat can hold no more;
But when they reach the land line,
And her keel CRATES on the sands,
In front of the group upon the shor>
Their valient leader stands,
He shouts aloud-"Were there any more
Left on the sinking wreck?
"Only one, We could not save.
Lashed on the shivering deck, "
"He must be saved" their leader cries.
Come man the boat, you three.
But not a sailor dared again
To face that angry sea
'Then I'll go alone" brave Harro shouts,
If none will go with mel -"
Then wild and weeping woman,
Cries out in tones of woe,
Remember your brother Alric
Lost over a year ago
Think of your lonely mother,
oh, Harro, you must not go!
But mother look on yon vessel,
Kneeling upon her deck,
Is a man who may have mother
Shall he go down with the wreck"
Then the mother bowling, with streaming
eyes.
As she clasps her valient son,
Says God be with you my noble boy,
TIL this awful task is done.
Then four brave men-each manning an
oar,
With Harro at the helm,
Dashed into the spray and forced their
way,
Back TO the wreck again,
At last they reach the tossing ship
And drag from off her deck
The imploring man they'd left behind
Upon the sinking wreck
When Harro, their hero leader,
With a stratled cry Of JOY,
Kneels tenderly down, by the PROSTATE
form,
OF the half-dead sailor boy,
Quick for the land, pull, boys, pull -
He shouts 10 the straining crew;
And they bend TO the oar-that sturdy
four,
AS over the waves they flew.
AT last they reach the eager group,
That lines the oceans shore,
When Harro cries as ne waves his cap,
Praise God forevermorei
And above the noise of the tossing sea,
And the angry waters braved.
The voice of HarrO joyfuiiy shouts,
Tell mother that Alric is saved.

THE LIFE-BOAT HERO.
By Rev. John F. Won Herrlich.)

(The following dramatic incident took
place about one month ago and is alb
solutely true in every detail. The poem
is based upon the facts as given by the
New York World)
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-02-25
Narragansett Times.

In his annual address Governor Brown re-
ferred to the need Of greater accommodations
for the criminals, insane, paupers, etc., OF the
State. This complaint Is likely to be heard
from the governors who follow, so long as the
people remain In their present indifference as
TO the cause of this demand for prisons,
asylums. and poorhouses. The material fer
these institutions is manufactured in every
town in the State, and each year the total
supply increases and the taxpayers go down u
little deeper into his pockets to meet the
expense. THIS might be differept-but IL will
not bs until many people live for others as
vel as themselves.
The end Is not yet, though, at least II bill
just introd uced IN the General Assembly goes
through. Ii asks taxpayers TO be responsible
for 5000 for the Kecley treatment OF inc ebri-
ates at the workhouse. The manufacturing Of
the material for the workhouse, of course. will
go on without interference, and so long as the
people submit they will have the privilege of
bearing the expense, and can increase the
afffetiHt each year, IL they are 80 i.elined.
After having been quite unconcerned about
the change, rs it goes on gradually, many
peoDlo appear quite alarmed when the article
Is finished. and then they want 10 turn 1t back
again. good many of US are quite queer.
