When two or three long days had gone
And Little Jim had not returned,
Tho men were plainly all forlorn
Nor tried to hide how much they ysarnet
To see his smile, and all agreed
He must be Ill. They didn't need
To have one say no fault or blame
Could fall on Jim, no scheme or trick
Explain his absence, and they came
To saying: she was looking sick
A week ago. Has any word
About the little lad been heardr'

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FARMERS.

Hon. Eugene Ware was making q
speech over at MapletOn the other day.
He said he had got along in the history
Of things up to about the year 1854
when a fellow jumped up in the middle
of the audience with: But what about
the farmer:' Gene replied that he
would come to him directly, and then
forged ahead up TO 1861, when up pop
ped his interlocutor again with, but
what about the farmer" CounSeling
patience he had after about three-quar-
tiers of an hour reached ''the crime of
'73," when again came the numbering
interruption: But what about the
farmer?" and with that the cause Of all
the commotion slapped his hat on his
head and majestically strobe out or the
door.
What about the farmer" was an
swered most directly and comprehen-
sively by Mr.. Mckinley the other day.

GROWING BETTER EVERY DAY.

Major Mckinley is adding to his
fame as an orator every day. The lit
tie speeches he Is making from his
front porch To the visiting delegations
are models Of their kind. Before the
campaign began many people supposed
that Mckinley was only Il master OF
the tariff problem They conceded his
ability in the discussion Of questions
Of revenue and finance. They did not
know the versatility OF his mind. They
did not know the breadth and quality
of his learning. They did not know
that he was an orator whose lips have
been touched with the live coal of elO-
Quence, and they have naturally been
surprised by his speeches.
Major Mckinley is placed in trying
position. Day after day he Is visited
by all sorts OF delegations represent
ing all kinds OF interests The whole
range OF human experience and human
interest is suggested by these visitors.
And yet he has fitting word to say 10
them all. OF the many addresses he
has made not one has been subject
for proper criticism, and not once has
the speaker lowered his dignity or said
ANYTHING that could injure his standing
as a candidate on the contrary, ne
has strengthened himself by these
speeches. He has advanced the cause
for which he stands. He has grown in
the confidence and affection of the PEG
pie. He has revealed orsstorical gifts
unknown before.

FORT scoTT.s WHISKY FIGHT.

Apropos of the unsatisfactory results
of attempts of the church TO run party
politics, is the Fort Scott affair. a
few weeks since the Eagle received a
short special from that city announcing
that S J. Stewart, an official member or
the Methodist church, had been asked,
by resolution of its membership, 10 re-
sign his position as chairman OF the
board of police commissioners. or other
wise TO enforce the law more effect
ually. Mr.. Stewart at first demurred,
explaining TO his church that he was
conscientiously pursuing the course
which he deemed The wiSest and best.
But he finally succumbed and sent his
resignation 10 Governor Morrill,. The
governor finding that Stewart was one
of the best and purest men Of the city,
a solid business man whose private
life was above reproach, refused TO ac-
cept his resignation. Now comes the
news that S. ]. Stewart has withdrawn
from the church. The question IS. IS
Mr. Stewart any less the good Chris
tan and citizen, any the less the good
temperance man. and who Is the gamer
in the fight Has the church or the
cause OF temperance anything TO crow
over? Would not 1t have been better
If all the Fort Scott board had been
members of the church and temperance
men; better for Christianity and better
for temperance, even though the law
was enforced no better than Mr.. Stew
art has enforced 1t, which was just as
strictly as It was practical.
