Henry George says in his paper: 'The
President has not fiinched hairs breadth.
On the contrary his letter of acceptance not
only reiterates and reinforces the arguments
of the message, but in important respects
showsa significant advance. Not only do
his arguments in the message, like his argu-
ments in the letter, CO. when carried to their
logical conclusions, to the utter destruction
of the idea that protection can benefit the
people, but they 60 even further-to the con-
clusion that all tariff taxes should be abol-
ished and the public revenues raised by
direct taxation" All these observations are
true, but the Presidents New York friends
would much rather Mr.. George had Kept
them to himself. The destruction of protec-
ton is undoubtedly the end the Democratic
leaders are working for. but they propose to
accomplish it by what the Argus aptlv calls
'insidious installments;" and such disclos-
ures as Mr.. Georges interfere with the game

Korean Games.

Throughout America a favorite
game with children is the see-saw
The game is found in Korea, though
played in different way. The way il
is done here is as follows: A warped
board is placed, with the hollow up.
ward, upon bunch of straw, or on
bags filled with sand or something
similar, so as to raise it from the
ground not more than a foot or so.
Alongside of this, and at the proper
height for the children to reach, is
stretched rope, which the jumpers
grasp and retain while they play. On
the board the two children stand, the
heavier jumping from the board and
alighting upon it again, thus by the jar
sending the other child in the air.
The child thus propelled alights with
all the impetus possible on its end of
the board; and, in two or three jumps,
the two will be rising into the air as
high as six feet. The exercise is much
more violent than in the American
game, and frequent rests are neces-
STATED. 1t requires more skill, greater
nerve, keener sight and nicer powers
of balancing. The result to the mus
cles and nerves must be, when played
in moderation, exceedingly beneficial

A New Craft.

A novelty of the upper Thames
is a launch which owes it's mo-
tive power to the explosive va
por of some hydro-carbon such as pc
troleum. The vessel Is of American
origin, and is the first to use petro-
leum engine in Great Britain. The
boat is started by the act Of lighting a
lamp, and the lamp must be extin-
guished to stop the engine. The fuel
costs much less than would the coal
necessary for the same amount of
work. The omission of boiler saves
much space, while neither fireman nor

Railroad Magnates,

According to a Chicago correspond
! emf, President Hughitt of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad and Presi-
ent w B Strong of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe, the heads of the
two great railroads. of the country,
started as telegraph operators. The
latter began as operator at Milton,
Wis, on the old Milwaukee and St
Paul Railroad, and the former at a
small station on the Chicago and At
lantic Railroad These are the only
two big railroaders out here who
started on their career from the key
board. There are dozen of the most
prominent men in the profession, rail-
road Presidents most of them, who
graduated from the civil engineering
department. President Newell, of the
Lake Shore began as a rodman. So
did President Roberts. of the Pennsyl-
vania system. He helped carry the
chain for the engineers who built the
Erie road. Hugh Riddle, for so many
years at the head of the Rock Island,
and now member of thA executive
committee, grew up from the civil en-
cheering department. General Man
ager T. j. Potter of the Union Pacific
was ineman before he became coun-
try station agent on the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad President T.
B. Blackstone, of tho Chicago and AL
ton began his railroading by acting as
roadman on the New York and New
Haven road. The late s. s. Merrill,
who was given higher rank than al
most any other Western railroader,
didn't begin even as humble member
of the civil engineering corps. He
started in on gravel train as con-
ductor. That was on the old Prairie
du Chen road. J. G. Clark, of the
Illinois Central, was fireman on an
engine. Superintendent Jeffery of the
Illinois Central started as an office boy
in the SOS. President Jim Hill of the
Manitoba was local agent for ten years
for little plug road at St Paul
Horace Tucker, now the General
Freight Agent of the Illinois Central,
and General Manager E st. John of

"a FRIEND OF NINE"
The Law which Enelrcl.. the Eatirs

The Law which Encircles the Kntirt
+, Travellers who have gone star coun
tries for to see" say that they find hu.
man nature pretty much the same al
the world over.
They find wide variance In color Of
skin, in physical contour, in mental char
acteristics, but in the essential elements
that control social conduct. the human
family is brotherhood.
The law, unwritten. found in no stat.
ute book, enforced by no court DEGREES,
but having an influence circumscribed
only by the limits Of earthly space, il
the lap Of kindness.
Among people where cruelty to hu-
man kind is almost fixed habit, who
are relentless foes, and as friends scarce
~ less to be dreaded, whose savage ma
lures revel IN fiendish atrocities, there
yet fingers the spark of divinity which
Lifts man above the beasts.
Sorrow melts the humsn heart wher-
ever found, and sympathy mingles its
tears with grief all the world over.
Where pity does not dwell there lives no
thing of human kind. It is ''the touch of
nature that makes the who'd world kin"
What q terrible world this would be
to live in were it not for the sympathy
and loving kindness shown us when sor-
row comes, for it is decreed that in all
lives 'some days must be dark and
dreary."
The 10000 and more voluntary testi-
monisls the proprietors of Wsrner's safe
cure have received in regard to the eff
cacy of that remedy, reveal this ''touch
OF nature" in peculiar manner. The
great majority of them acknowledge that
it was through some kind friend who, in
pity for their suffering, had made known
to them the wonderful merits of this
great remedy.
The testimonial of Capt. Geo. B. Wilt
bank, of Philadelphia, is fair sample.
He was put ashore from his ship to die
of fever resulting from kidney and iv-
er trouble, and as physicians could not
help him, there seemed no hope for him.
But he says, "a friend of mine who
happened into port, came to see me, end
ged me to begin the use of Warmers
eafe cure" he began to use it as bis
friend advised, and was cured in very
short time.
How many men there are to-day in
the world, rounding out ivee of useful
ness, making the world happier and bet
ter, who would have long since passed to
the other shore, had it not been for The
loving kindness of friends, shown in this
practical way, as these testimonials from
all quarters Of the globe afford ample
evidence.
