For the Eagle. ~
BRYAN'S REQUIEM HYMN.
(By Charles II. Eagin)

(By Charles II. Eagin.)
Is honor exiled from the land?
Are Honesty and Virtue dead?
Do all our proud traditions SLEEP?
Has Freedoms glorious spirit fled?
The patriot sees an evI sign
When shouting thousands can applaud
The frenzied speeches o. man
Whose doctrines wear the badge of
fraud,
WHO scouts the lessons OF the past
A new and dangerous creed TO teachs
Whoxlides a swindie eE6 a cheat
Beneath the brilliant flowers OF speech.
He waved aloft Grown of Thorns;
He brandisiled high a Gross OF Cold
And with a Sacriiegious phrase
y needless, yelling. mob eajoled.
In VAIN the party sases plead
In Honor'S name to stay the tide:
Invoked by turns each glorious name
Whose preceptS Were that party's pride.
The heaven OF the red commune
Was working there IN deep ferment;
A revolution'S wild crusade
Alone could soothe the discomfort
The ancient Democratic faith
Was lost amid the mad turmoil,
And in its stead a bastard creed
Transplanted from a foreign SOIL
1t substitutes for courts. the moos
RepuSia ties each honest debt;
II cuts in half the deller earned
BY daily la5or's honest sweat
1t promises, If placed IN power
To write on LabertSS fair Dust,
A motto of a new design:
In Silver. not in God we trust
The farmer and mechanic. too,
Can mint their silver bullion Tree,
And by destroying credit now,
Atone the crime OF %.
When torch and knife are oeine pheos
And riot runs its Tnurderous course,
II says to our Chief Magistrate; .
You shall not stop rapine oy force-
Then TO our august supreme court
Where Justice sits enthronsc IN state,

WHY THEY INJECT WHISKY.

The independent Prohibition l'ar,y
has issued an address calling upon the
Christian people of Kansas 10 vSte
against Morrill,. The address is signed
hy Webster and Wax. "Tbe Inde
lie, dept Prohibition party may De Tor
Temperance and truth, but its officers
arc not iy intemD ate i'll their IAN
gLage. but they are liars The second
paragraph declares that "he Morriii)
eor-Upt.y secured the reopeninS OF sa-
IooLs in Wichita after ihey had been
efectually suppressed by the heroic
efforts of its citizens, in order that he
CIorrilD might obtain personal poll
tical advantage by combining the vio-
Iators of the law and their aberrors."
These follows either do not know
what they are talking about or other
wise they are deliberately falsifying.
Either is inexcusable in a minister.
The only time that the saloon was
made 70 take water and hunt cellars,
garrets and side rooms, in Wichita.
since some time along in Humphrey $
administration. was under Morrilfs
administration during the Tiger Bill
raid" Previous to thar so far back
as the Stanley-Lewis prohib-commis-
sion. the only rows Wichita ever had
over the saloon question grew out OF
charges that the city was not getting
the entire revenue paid by the traffic
in the way of monthly fines. Judge
Campbell and the commission appoint
ed at his behesi, by Morrill,, stopped
the payment of a license and forced
the saloons to sell behind locked doors.
Some of the saloons quit outright.
Peters never opened again
This is but specimen of the notori-
Gus Misrepresentation made by these
reverend gentlemen in the name OF
temperance and Christianity and,
doubtless. in pursuance of their bread
and butter. We defy them or any.
body else to make a showing to the
contrary.
The hypocrisy of these salary-barna-
cles is made evident elsewhere in their
address wherein they openly avow
their desire to defeat Morrill, and to
elect Leedy, who is an undisguised OPP
ponent and enemy of the prohibitory
lay.
Morrill, simply had the honesty to &C
knowledge what other governors learn
ed. but all of whom would not acknow
ledge, that the enforcement of any
sumptuary law, at the expense of the
taxpayers. of any community where
the majority of the men and women
are against such enforcement, is an
impOssibility.
This same prohibitory clan and their
Salaried strikers, helped to defeat Far
mer Smith and to elect Lewelling,
knowing that Lewelling would never
make any effort to enforce the prohi-
bitory law in Wichita, or anywhere
else, where the people were opposed
10 it. And he never did. Then where
fore lie in face Of the open record?
We can discern no reason except that
in either of the events successful en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, or
its entire abandonment these follows,
who periodically issue these prenunci-
atos and creeds, would be out of a job
and would have to earn an honest liv-
ing.

which would not go in. They begged
me to look at it, and I told them to

Importance of MONDAY Appetite.

Persons who keep close watch upon
themselves are of the opinion that the
hour of noon is the most critical period
of life. At that time the human frame
undergoes serious changes. The stom-
ach has dispatched the morning meal
and sends scouting parties out in
search of another. The eyes and
brain are on the alert, and there is a
sort of all-goneness pervading the an
atomy that sharpers the faculties and
puts new edge on the teeth. 1t is
natures dining time, and everything
about the healthy man or woman is et-
tuned to the domination of enjoyment
OF what is called tgooi square
meal" Those who pay heed to the
prompting of nature ct this divine
hour have their reward in good appe-
tite, good temper and excellent diges-
tion, which is conducive to oil the good
that flesh is heir to. But those who,
following the imperious dictates of
fashion, defer the hour of dining until
all natural longings are dead, and have
to be resurrected by adventurous aids,
lay train of evils and discomforts
which sooner or later become the
plague of their lives. 1t is we'll
known fact that the noon diners are
healthier and stronger and have better
chances for long life than others

The dreadful hot wave that has hung
over the country recently proves once
more thst, after all, man is the tough
est creature in the animal kingdom.
Hundreds of men have worked with
horses recently to see the latter drop
prostrated. Dogs, too, have suffered
dreadfully and often needlessly.
Water, sha lc and rest are the
three saving conditions for animals.
Through some wrong-headed policy
in our larger cities it would sometimes
look as if there were conspiracy to
make these conditions as difficult as
possible.
New York has been within year
nearly denuded OF sha1e trees. The
old.time watering troughs have been
largely removed. Teamsters who do
not carry buckets on their clrts often
compel their horses to wait for water
until they are nearly choked. There
are no shady resting places on the
streets, the barns are i!tventillated
ovens, and 80 upon occasions of exces-
aive heat the poor animals drop by
scores. A veterinary surgeon esti-
mates that the mortality among work
ing horses in New York during one
week has been fully so per cent.

Rafting Windows.

To stop windows rattling on windy
night SO as to insure sleep is often a
puzzle, and few people realize that
they have the remedy awaiting them
on the toilet table. Take q dressing
comb, wrap it IN two or three thick
nesses of soft paper and squeeze it,
teeth downwards, between the two
sashes, or where one fits into the frame.
Some old and badly-ftting window.
need several wedges, and nothing il
better for these than piece Of toilet
comb, nicely washed, wrapped in ole
linen, and covered in o piece of g!azec
calico. To these can be attached {
loop or ribbon SO they can hang on q
nail near the window frame and al
ways bo ready for use. se.-Detroit Free
