FLAT FOOTED FOR CLEVELAND.
Henry George Defines Ests PosIii0n
in the PresIdeutlal Fight.

In the New York Standard, which
was issued recently, Henry George has
a three column article, "Society, Party
and Principle" in which he makes
mention Of the split III the Auti Poverty
Society.
He stales that "Dr. McGlynn's coup
d'etdt III packing the executive COM
mittee of The society, and the view sand
sentiments to which he gave expires
sion on that occasion, make it impossi-
BILE tor self respecting men longer to
act under his presidency. The action
of that part vi the committee which
Withdrew is approved Of
MIR. George then goes on to state
that it has been decided to abandon Ia
DR.. McGlynn the entire management
OF the society, as "the spectacle OF two
anti-pOyerty societies in New Yorl.
would be both shameful and ridiculous,
and could only hurt the cause we wish
to help"
After stating that il had always bean
the intention to keep DIR. NJ Glynu al
the head OF the society and admitting
that the success OF the society was duo
to the popularity and eloquence of DR.
McGlynn. Mr.. George says that he
will send in a brief letter of resignation
TO the president OF the society, and THAI
there will be no quarrel between him
and DR.. McGlynn, and, as they camno.
work together, they shall at least ac
complish some good by each working
In his own way for the same end. Mr
George then says that he has the SAME
feeling for the united labor party that
he has tor the anti-pOverty society, and
will enter into no unseemly squabbIe
over he policy of the party.
In speaking OF President Cleveland. :.
Mr.. George says:-
81 am now in favor OF the nomiua.
ton and election of Grover Cleveland,
because his nomination and election Oh
the tariff issne would, Ii seems to me,
best clear the way tor bringing into
practical politics something far more
important than tariff reform. 1t makes
no difference to me what MIR. Cleveland
may think of my ultimate aims. To
force the issue which he stands Tor in
practical politics will clear the way TO
bring into practical politics what aim
at. If | have miles to walk l do not
refuse the chance to get a lift on y
wagon that will go but n mile and then
turn back, especially if that mile De u
steep grade, after which my road !ie>
down hill. | take advantage OF the
wagon and thank the driver, aud when
he comes TO where hs proposes TO turn
back get of and continue on.
"lf, as hardly think now possible.
the intrIgues Of the banded cormOrapt-
should succeed in defeating MIR. C!eve-
lands nomination and sidetracking ttI..
tariff issue between the old parties, then
the whole situation would be changed,
and conference to see il we, III con
cert with mere tariff reformers aud tree
traders, cannot ran n candidate who
shall uplift the standard of the anti!
protection fight, would become imper-
stively necessary"

SOUTHERN NEGROES AND THE
TARIFF.
From tho Southern, Fla. Leader Colore'

From tho Southern, Fla. Louder Colore d
organ.
The co!orcd people are not bcmeiited
by high protective tariff, and conse-
quently they ought to favor low
tariff, which would, if adopted be
more favorable to their condition as
poor agricultural laborcrs. We favor
low tariff because our people need
cheaper necesSarics OF life. We oppose
nnv reduction in the tax on whisky
aud tobacco, because these are luXuries
and very hIthv aud destructive luxurics
at that. GAVE the pour people cheap
wooden blankets aud goods; cheap
sugar, rice, cruCkcrS, tnui~, farming
implements and iron, and make whisk y
and tobacco high aud scarce.

eliza Ann-you ben a-puttin' them
eggs onder tibet tree-them eggs that
l ben a-stealin'. What did yeh do it
fer ~
Liza Ann saw there was nothing for
it but the truth. "Well, l see yeh
take tibet first one," she admitted, with
evident reluctance. 81 he'd my eye on
tibet white hen, fer 1 knowed by the
sassy look on her face tibet she wuz
goin' to steal nest off som'eres. She's
too smart to hev feathers, tibet white
hen is. / wuz loOkin' out of my back
winder, an [ see yeh r'ach in an git

white hen wouldn't go back thar no
more l reckon she wuz sort o. put
out when she see yeh take her egg.
Hens are awful sensible critters; some
o. mine come mighty near bein' folks"
She was talking at random to hide
her embarrassment, but she broke off
suddenly when Ellen sat down on the
step in weak way, as if her strength
had spent its last effort. Liza Ann
helped her into the house with speed
of movement largely dashed with fear.
"You got to set down in this rocker
18th a piller back o. your head, while
l turn in an put the kittle over an
bile yeh good cup o. right strong
Coffee" she declared, as she struck q
match and proceeded to light candle.

if it had suddenly presented itself as
an interesting study. "I'll hev old
man Smith put 'em on today"
"No, yeh won't, Liza Ann; /"
ale owes me little bill anyhow"
interrupted the other, Can may ez
well take it out carpenterin' I'll never
git it out of him no other way. Them
Smiths are all a mean, no-'cOunt set.
Don't yeh mind Rosanna Smith, Ellen ?
her tibet ulster let on like she wuz
sick, so she'd git to lay in bed 2"
"'Liza Ann" said Ellen, without
heed to the subject of the Smith fam
lily, which her sister had brought up
for the purpose of diverting attention
from the more embarrassing question
of the fence, 'I whist yeh'd do some
thin fer me. whist yeh'd leave the
fence like it is Pm kinder interested
in tibet white hen, she's so kind o. hui
man lookin'-an' then the gap'll be
right handy fer you an re to crawl
thoo goin' back an FORT" She spoke
loudly; Adkins was stirring in the
next room, doubtlessly aroused by
their talking, and she wanted him to
know that the breach had not been re-
paired by an advance on the part of
Liza Ann. Her devotion to him was
none the less that it was now in some
measure balanced with renewed affec-
ton for her sister, which no word of
his could ever again disturb.
"We'll let the fence stay like it is,
Ellen" said Liza Ann. Her voice
was a little thick, for she had been
blowing the fire, and the smoke had
made her eyes wet.
