ARE THE VESSELS READYs
In khe Elflfnr

1t Is entirely beyond my comprehension
why the vessels for the Greedy relief expedi-
tion have not been furnished, for though
there may DO much difference of opinion In
regard to the details of organization, &C., on
on one point it seems to me all mast be in
accord viz, that the relieving party must so
be such as arc best adapted to successfully
perform the voyage. The writer believes
that even a short delay may result fatally to
some of the Greedy party who may survive
the winter, and those In authority will
greatly regret any oversight which will de-
lay the expedition for q single day, If it
should prove that such delay had entailed
a vessel which l thought was built in the
best manner to Withstand the pressure of
ice, and if the vessels are to be built no time
should BIO lost.

A C,,v Chnmberlain,s DeTalcnt,on.

Troy, N. Y, Feb. 7.-Henry s. Church,
chamberlain of the city of Troy, has been
missing since Monday. 1t is feared he is a
defaulter in a heavy amount. The mayor
and Church's bondsmen are examining his
accounts. 1t is reported that he took $4,000
or $4,000 ready money with him. Church
was a prominent stove manufacturer and q
respected citizen.
The defalcation already aggregates over $780,
900 and the examination is not completed.
When he was reappointed in 1882 his bond was
of tho defalcation since that date. There is
considerable excitement in business circles,
which is increased by the uncertainty as to
tho sums stolen.

WASHINGTON, Feb.7.
HOW TO TAX THE RICH.


Our workingmen in this city made great
demonstration in Lincoln hall this week
about labor. But all this did not hit the nail
on the head. We are living here in a republic
and most of the laws are monarchical 1t is
in the interest of every monarch that few
shall be immensely rich and tho great masses
shall be kept in poverty. These very rich
ones are the supporters of his throne, and in
order to accomplish this the easiest way for
him TO do is to impose indirect taxation, and
in that way to take away fractional
part Of the few cents tho poor man pos
sesses. Now we call the United States
of America a very rich country, and we
have tho right to say it is o very rich
country. But how is our wealth divided?
believe if twenty thousand of tho richest peo-
pie in this country were picked out, and every
'one would have family of five, that is hun
dred thousand, these hundred thousand pos
sess more wealth than the whole country to-
gether-that is, forty nine millions nine hun
dred thousand. would give the chance TO
every one to become a millionaire, hut
wouldn't allow him to have any moro. Our
labor question cannot be solved as
long as such immense wealth is
in single hands. The only Just
taxation in q republic would be progressive
tax, and that would be the remedy. Wewould
not have such enormously large wealth in
single hands, and the laboring classes ought
to organize themselves politically, and not
only those people that toll with the pick,
shovel. hammer, needle, &C.. ought to be
considered workingmen, but line should be
drawn between capitalists and non capitalists.
The non-capitalist would DO considered the
workingmau, no matter If he Is merchant,
doctor, lawyer, or Whitewater. Our present
congress consists mostly of lawyers, and laws
are made by lawyers for lawyers. Our senate
consists mostly of millionairos, and how can
our workingmen expect any laws in their
favor from such class of Lawmakers. Until
the workingmen have q majority of work
ingmen in congress, aud all legislatures the
social or laboring question will never be solved.

A Grand Rally and Eloquent
 Speeches.
 Bridgeport Republicans had grand rally Thursday night at the Hawes Opera House. Speeches were made by Hon. J. c. Burrows, of Dakota, and Colonel Donan, of Dakota. I. De Yer Warner presided, with P. T. Bar mum, Amos s. Treat, John D. Candee and about fifty other vice presidents. On the tariff question MT. Burrows said: ''On the tariff question the parties take different stands. The Republican party is one of pro- lection, while the Democratic party is desir- ous of free trade. remember that in 1860 the Democrats declared it time for free trade to become established throughout the world. In 1876 they said tariff only for revenue The Republicans made an issue of it and they were badly beaten. In 1880 they said i've are wrong,' and after much deliberation put it in this wise, tariff for revenue only We made an issue of the word 'only' and they were again put down. You see the diff ference. It is easy to understand, that is for Democrats. Now they see that both ways were wrong and come to the front with tariff for revenue exclusively We see the 'ex- clusively, and they know it to their row.
 
 We want a tariff that shall throw an om- nipotent arm around the laborer and we will have it. There are two methods of paying government expenses. One is to approach every man and tell him he must pay a certain sum. Another is to make every man who comes to this country with his wares pay for the privilege of selling them here. The man who seeks to make labor and capital antagonistic is the greatest enemy of this broad republic. When you vote for free trade you do enc of two things, either cut your wages down to the level of pauper countries, shut up your factories and turn your employees or fellow workmen into the street England wishes of course to destroy our industries, but fortunately she can't vote. went into quarry few days ago and learned from the men who were at work that they earned from $1. 50 to $500 a day.

He was not on the battle field for the purpose of saying Go ahead boys but Come on.' Democrats will now vote for the man who hissed the flag that Logan carried. Teat's only the differ ence in the men. If any comrade of the Grand Army votes for the man who assisted in shooting down the flag, let me beg him not to go to the grave of a dead soldier on Decoration day.

LEFT HFR HUSBAND.

MT. William HI. Leelz, Left at Home
 in a House without Wife or Other
 Furniture, Wonders Why She Serv-
 ed Him So.
 Mrs Jennie Leek, wife of William H. Leek living at 408 Howard avenue, ran away from her home last Monday, taking about $500 worth of furniture with her. Her hns band is foreman at s. s. Thompson & Co.'S. bakery 149 York street, and has been in the habit of eating his dinners at the bakery. When he returned Monday night his wife and most of the house furniture had disap peared. Upon inquiring he learned that one of Smedley's teams had been carting the fur niture from the house all day. Handsome lace curtains, lambrequins, plush carpets and all were not to be found.
 The mystery deepened as the husband asked of the other tenants of the building what his wife said in explanation of the general dismant1ing of the rooms No satis- factory information could be obtained and he came to the conclusion that she had either eloped or deserted him. Then in city newspaper he inserted a notice forbid ding all persons giving credit to his wife on his account. as he claimed to have just cause for refusing to pay any bills contracted by her.
 Mir. Leek feels greatly grieved and discon- certed over the affair He is at loss to un- derstand why his wife should have left him. He always treated her well during their if teen years of married life and had been gen erous, too generous the neighbors say, in the expenditure of money for his wifes comforts and luxuries. MT. Leek says he knows that a certain gentleman was in the habit of call ing on his wife Perhaps the gentleman knows something about the affair.
