NJ. NJ MURDOCH. Editor.
NOT MUCH, MORRILL,.

Among the names of prominent re
rublicans being canvassed as possible
candidates for governor next year Is
that of Z. y. Morrill,. A correspondent
writing from Horton, says that Ms
nomination is necessary to a yirddca ton
of his administration on the ground thai
he is the only man who can redeem The
state. The Il. C. Gazette sentent1ously
observes thereon: Lord save the party
and the state from another sucn at
tempt at redemption 1t is unnecessary
to add that there are a sufficient number
of Republicans in Kansas of the same
conviction of the Gazette TO render
MorrilFs nomination impossible III ne
failed TO 60 back on every friend ana
supporter he ever had while governor,
we never heard the name Of the eXcep-
tional individual mentioned. II there
was an enemy of prominence to Whom
he didn't Weld, he has been forgotten.
AS governor. Morrill, was anything to
everybody. When it came to the pro-
hfbitory law, over which all governors
stumble ami fall over themselves more
or less fualiy. Morrill, took the cake for
plumbers and mistakes. In every town
where the majority sentiment was
against the law there he would lay HIM
self out for it's enforcement He gave
Wichita IT'S Jersey Cow Police Commits
sion" and Tiger Bill" and raised hadeS |
in Leavenworth and Kansas City. Fer
contra. where a city was strong for the |
enforcement of that statute he gave |
them police commissioners with back |
bones of his own character, VITA per- |
mission TO wink such community into |
consent. Morrill, couldn't carry a prom |
Jnent town in the state. In attempting |
10 be everything, everywhere, TO every
body, he proved nothing 70 anybody |
ANYBODY could defeat him, as no
body did in his hast attempted vlndi-
cation. The Republican party Of Kan
sas should not attempt the yindicatiOn
of Morrill, or of any other man at the
next election, not even a vindicauon OF
much of its own record. but go inio the
fight on an up-to-date platform and with
candidates as free Of a record of any
kind as possible, save one for decency
and ability.

FOR the Eagle.
DROP A TEAR FOR ME.

Said youth who loved a maiden,
'Fairest one, you bid me go
And forget. All, then farewell, love"
Then he said in accents low,
"Give your fairest smiles to others,
Who are happy. and will see;
But for me, my heart is breaking,
Drop a tear for me.
when you sing. All happy maiden.
Angels fair bedight your song.
When you smile think the fairies
Scatter stars your path along,
had hoped to tune my Tyre
To your notes so glad and free,
Now 1 can but ask, in pity.
Drop a tear for me-"
Said beautiful young daisy.
AS she bloomed amid the grass,
81 will tell tale of gladness
To the weary ones who pass"
But a wrong, a wayward footstep.
Crushed her life so fair to see,
With her tale untold she murmured.
Drop a tear for me-"
Said a maiden who had wandered
Far from home and love and right,
And was cropping in the darkness,
Where was not one ray of light.
eff could forgotten, pity,
Cursed with sin and memory,
II I could forget, On, fair one.
Drop tear for me-
Said a bent old man who trembled.
AS ne stood behind the bars.
Gazing upward to the heavens,
Counting one by one the stars,
''All my life did sin pursue me,
From his clutch neer was free.
I have struggled-don't condemn. but
Drop a tear for me-
We are told to scatter roses.
Told TO laugh and sing. be gay:
Told the world has need OF gladnees
But no need OF Years. they say.
Yet there IS no heart so joyous.
Not q life so glad and free,
But some day will sadly murmur.
Drop a tear for me-"
There's no wayward one so sinful,
But that mercy should be given.
Smiles are lost sometimes. but ever
To the heart our tears are driven
Let Us gather up the ,eardrops
That have fallen by the way.
They as gems shall sparkle ever.
In the land Of perfect day.

A Nopa1 radAsr.

A ladder is made to be walked ons but a human ladder is a novelty, and sometimes grand novelty. Such lad der came into requisition in New York not very long ago. But, after all, though the act was novel, the actor was but one in the long line of men and women who in life's emergencies are always on hand to exhibit that spirit of courageous self forgetfulness which makes the locker on feel that there is something grand left ln humanity yet
 It was but the old story of tene- ment house on fire and small crowd of frightened escaping tenants. They came down the fire escapes in desper- ate haste, before the firemen arrived upon the scene, but between the last rung of the ladder and the ground was drop of ten feet.
 The light, f1imsy ladder swayed be- heath the weight of the most venture some tenant, who stood irresolute, frightened to take the big drop and un- able to return, for above was an ever increasing weight of human beings pressing downward. It was moment of peril, and it threatened to be one of catastrophe. But just then the janitor stepped forward, self possessed and self forgetful. Standing on the stoop, he reached up and found that his arms could just grasp the end of the shaky ladder.
 "Climb over me, he cried and stood his ground, holding on to the fiimsy ladder, while men, women and children scrambled over him to place of safety By means of that human ladder they all reached the ground. Youths Com | Danion

Bombs In Russia.

There was great excitement one day at a small Russian port on the Baltic. The captain of newly arrived foreign vessel was arrested for the alleged crime of having attempted to bring a large number of dynamite bombs into the country of the czar. They brought the unhappy man before the judge, who happened to be one of the few intelli- gent men in the town.
 Where are the bombs?" said the judge.
 "On board the ship, said the police "There is small cargo of them.
 "Go and fetch one," said the judge
 ''It is dangerous to touch it, said the police.
 "I cannot convict,'' said the judge, ''unless I have the material evidence. Bring me bomb"
 With much trepidation and many precautions they at last brought one on a cushion of cotton wool The judge laughed most unjudicial laugh.
 ''That," he said, "is a cocoanut.
 And so it was London Tit Bits.

How to Examine g Watch.

To one who has never studied the mechanism uf watch, it's mainspring or the balance wheel is a mere piece of metal He may have looked at the face of the watch, and while he admires the motions of it's hands and the time 1t keeps he may have wondered in idle amazement as to the character of the machinery which is concealed within. Take it to pieces and show him each part separately and he will recognize nei- ther design nor adaptation nor relation between them, but put them together, set them to work, point out the offices of each spring, wheel and cog, explain their movements, and then show him the result. Now he perceives that it is all one design-that notwithstanding the number of parts, their diverse forms and various offices, and the agents con- cerned, the whole piece is of one thought, the expression of one idea. He now rightly concludes that when the main spring was fashioned and tempered it's relation to all the other parts must have been considered; that the cogs on this wheel fire cut and regulated adapted-to the ratchets on that, etc., and his final conclusion will be that such a piece of mechanism could not have been produced by chance, for the adaptation of the parts is such as to show it to be according to design and obedient to the will of one intelligence. -Harper's Round Table.

Tha Rlack Maria.

In Boston's early days a negress named Maria Lee kept sailors board ing house near the water front. She was woman of gigantic size and pro digious strength and was of great as- sistance to the authorities in keeping the peace. When an unusually trouble some fellow was on the way to the lookup, Black Maria, as Maria Lee was called, would come to the assistance of the policeman, and her services were in such requisition for this purpose that her name was associated with almost every arrest made.
 Black Maria often carried a prisoner to the lookup on her shoulder, and when the prison van was instituted for the purpose of carrying prisoners it nat. urally enough was styled the Black Maria. of Education.

Wrong Conclusion.

The Canadian Gazette tells an amus- ing story of one who was too quick at drawing an inference. It happened that a Glasgow professor who was visiting Canada with the British association in 1884 was desirous of seeing something of northwestern life, and for this pur- pose repaired to an Alberta ranch.

So after the first night stretched a cowskin across the shack and told him he might undress if he liked He took of most of his garments and put on long white nightdress. In the morning my foreman came in while the gentleman was still sleeping Observ- ing the white nightdress, he said in a whisper:

It often happens that the doctor is out

It often happens that the doctor IS out of town when most needed. The two year old daughter of J. Y. Schenck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter, was threatened with croup, he writes. My wife insisted that go for the doctor at once; but, as he was out of town, purchased bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which re- lieved the child immediately" A bottle of that remedy in the house will often save the expense of doctors bill, be- sides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness. When it is given as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. Thousands of moth CTS always keep 1t in their homes. The 9 and 50 cent bottles for sale by E.
