THE WAR IS OVER.

The Lawrence Journal calls upon the
against the CALLING fire of Charley
SCOTS gatling gun. The esteemed
Journal, from its strictly neutral posi-
ton, estimates SCOTS vancouver as 4
mastery one of reserved dignity and OF
such vigor as can only be successfully
repealed by thunderbolts from Olym-
plan Heights and the like, such as the
Journal fiatteringly suggests the Eagle
is accustomed TO hurl.
The Journal having estimated lucidly
| and argued correctly, seems to lose
sight of its own conclusions. The
Eagles war is over. We have nothing
farther to fight for. If Scott has been
so unfortunate as to get his big reserve
battery into position only after the flag
of his side had gone down, that is his
misfortune. The Eagle has nothing
farther to ask, nothing to war over.
Having fought and won, wherefore re-
new the fire on retreating strugglers
who cOnspicuously failed TO get To the
front until there was no front left:
If the Journal will suggest any doubt

interest not secured by us in the surren-

SLIGHTLY ALARMED.

The metropolitan papers of the east
are working themSelve up into a fry
frenzy over the fact that lot of Phila.
delphia manufacturers went down Il
| Washington for a conference with the
free silver men of congress. A com
mittee of manufacturers who are seem
| ingly not in accord. or who lack enliglt-
eminent, signed Il call and sent it out
| through the Associated Press asking a
reconyening and a rehearing on the
proposition that protection and silver
are naturally of class. 1t will do no
good. Protection and free silver are
not only unalterably linked together.
| but the men who see and understand
| that fact are as unmovable as to their
evident interests as are the gOldbugs.
The Baltimore Sun asserts that
PennSylvania manufacturers will
| never be able, in connection with the
silver men, TO force the Republican
party into declaring for free coinage.
But that paper goes on to say that lit
is evident that there are influences at
work within the party which, if not
checked at once, will lead ultimately to
straddle on the financial issue at the
St Louis convention. 1t has never
been doubted that the manufacturers
who insist upon a government bonus
on their wares would be willing to pay
for it. Heretofore they have in
measure discharged their obligations
by contributing to the corruption fund
or the party, and, considering the re-
suits, they seem to have made n very
fair profit upon their investment. But
the proposition to link a debased cur
rency with high duties. while the one
may be very appropriate adjunct of
the other, will hardly stand the test of
critical examination by those Republi-
cans who have no protected wares 10
sell and who believe that change in
the standard of values will be disas
ferrous. While the Republicans. there

A LADY OF QUALITY.

This latest contribution to literature
| by Frances HOdson Burnett Scrib-
ner's Sons. New York. will he read with
avidity by her numerous and widely ex-
tended circle of friends and admirers,
to whom she is endeared by her crea-
ton of Little Lord FauntelrOy." The
story is located in England in the reign
of Queen Anne, year 1855, when coun-
try gentlemen were distinguished for
little else than rough speech, rude man.
ners and wild drinking bouts, and the
city gentry with more political airs and
a better knowledge of books were
equally as disSOlute and as rule more
INSCRIPTIONS. This is the period
which our author has chosen for her
novel in which she shows an intimate
acquaintance with those times, but no
sympathy with them. Briefly outlined
it is the story of a country gentle
woman, who, having lost her mother at
birth, passes her infancy unnOticed and
uncared for by her brutal, hunting
parent, up to her sixth year, when she
bursts upon his astOnished vision in a
whirlwind of passion and by the only
route to his insenate heart, at once be-
came his favOrite. and he not only in
dulgeS, but assists all her childish |
whims and fancies. Beautiful and |
strong-limbed as a child she grows to |
marvellous beauty as 4 woman, but of |
that imperious nature that Overrides all |
restriction and authority. Sir Jeaffry, |
her father, paradeS her-dresSed as a |
boy-befOre his associates of the chase |
and revel, with whom she handles |
coarse jests, always at their expense.
There comes a day, however, when,
realizing her folly, she casts aside her
male attire, never to be resumed, and
merges into the radiant young lady on
all sides admired and worshipped.
SchooOled in vice from infancy she was
more Sinned against than SHINING, con-
science comes to her rescue, the dark
shadow of tragedy hanging over her
IS dispelled by her strong love for a
truly noble man and expiation is found
n helping the outcast and the unfor-
innate.
The authors chief claim to original
ty lies in the method of her marathon, .
he incidents are of the liveliest char
Icter, and those who attend her recital
ire kept deeply interested to the end.
