Mr.. George Not a Success.
The Nation.

The Nation.
Mr.. Henry G orge is having a curious kind
of success. His book Progress ana Poverty"
has attracted good deal of attention as an
eloquent and striking presentation of some of
the evils of modern society. His remedy, and
the sole one, is the csnfscation of the land Of
the country by the Government and its con-
version into public domain. He is going abont
now in England and Ireland, where there is
much trouble about property in land, with
somewhat Of the air of man who has discov-
cred a sure cure Of which people are beginning
to see the value, and appears to think that it
will first be tried in this country The truth is
we believe, that he has not made convert of
single owner of land in the civilized world.
III he could produce one human being who was
willing that his farm should be taken from
aim by the state without compensation, or
who would not regard such thing as robbery,
to be submitted to only because resistance was
useless, it would show that he was making
some progress, however small. The landhold-
ers of every civilized nation would, in fact, re-
sist his scheme to the death, and they are so
large proportion of every civilized nation that
their will in such matter is supreme Mr..
George is probably cheered up by the adhesion
of a considerable number of persons who own
neither real estate nor any other kind of proper
ty, but we warn him that when confiscation day
arrives they will make themselves scarce. AS
to the morality of the plan, it happily does not
as yet need discussion, and Mr.. George will get
no one to discuss it with him. Whether man
or woman who has put life's savings into a
farm or lot ought not to forfeit the land and
have the rent of it go to pay taxes for another
man who put his savings into Government
bonds, or into steamboat is question which
has not as yet become practical, and cannot be-
come so without complete revolution in the
ideas of the race about social justice. 1t is a
great pity that man with Mr.. Georges pow
ers of statement should be taken up with such
a chimega-

The Best-Known Picture in the
World.

Taking the entire product of the painters
art, the work most widely known is, without
doubt, 'The Last Supper" by Leonardo da
Vinci. Certainly, no picture has been repro
dueed by engraving to the like extent. 1t is,
perhaps, not assertingt o much to say that
there are few within the limits of civilization
under whose observaq ,some form OF 9TH

THE Biddeford Union and Journal takes
issue with our suggestion that usage has
practically made the term of service of our
State Treasurers five years, the limit fixed
by the Constitution. 1t says that many
Treasurers have held Office for shorter
time. This is quite true, but it is also true
that some special reason has existed in each
case, since the Republican party first came
in power where an incumbent has failed to
fill out the regular term of five years. In
1856 Woodbury. Davis resigned the Office by
reason of his appointment as Justice of
the Supreme Court. In 1856 Isaac Reed,
Democrat, served one year and was suppressed
ed by Republican. In 1857 B. D. Peck failed
to finish out five years because he became a
defaulter. In 1869 N. G. Hichborn was
dropped after four years. service, be-
cause he became candidate for
ffny fgT ,t il opposition to Chamberlain
after three years. service, desiring to be
nominated to the Governorship. In 1879, E.
Fl. Banks was supplanted by Fusionist
In 1880, @. A. White was supplanted by Mr..
Holbr0ok on the restoration OF the Repub-
licans to power. No question has ever be-
fore been raised, SO far as we knew, but
that custom and usage give to an accepta-
BILE Treasurer reflections up to the Consti-
tutional limit. 1t is agreed on all hands
that Mr.. Holbrook has discharged the i'm
portant duties of the place with eminent
ability, and the usage of the party should
give him the reelection.
BULL Run Russell has retired from "active
journalism. His retirement from the battle
field of Bull Run in 1861, comes under the
head of active journalism.
JOAQUIN MILLER, the poet of the Sierras,
is again specializing in Wall street. He will
be the poet of the serious after the bulls and
bears have had their will of him.

The only way to deal with liar is to
beat him at his own game. That is, OF
course, unless he is the editor of a
pious newspaper. What started this
item was reading about an American
who had been to Europe, and who was
telling friend, who knew he was u
liar, about his trip across the Atlantic,
and how, on the 25th of the month,
"they encountered swarm of locusts,
and the locusts carried away every
stitch of canvas of the ship"
The listener looked thoughtful mo-
ment, and then said, hesitatingly:
eyes, guess we met the same swarm
tho next day, the 26th. Every locust
mk on a pair of canvas pants"
The first liar went around q corner
and kicked himself.

The honest old farmers don't like
whiskey or whiskey-drinking. They
have sons grown up, and the saloon In
the village is as conv enient as II is de-
moralizing. The evils Of intemperance
are not overestimated. The picture is
never overdrawn. Whiskey drinking
is the curse of the country. The old
