has ceased. boil, parties resting on their 'lad-
dies" and the acknowledgements boat
doing all the work. 1t is thought, however,
that the Helen Brown will be back again.

has changed during the past year, and it is
singular fact that the persons most in favor
of an opposition last Spring have changed
their cry of '.Down with Monopolyn to that
