HENRY GEORGES CHESTNUT.

Mr.. HENRY GEORGE now comes to the
front with the declaration that it is posi-
BILE for workingmen TO raise their wages by
an intelligent use of their votes, and that
they cannot expect to do it in any other
way-meaning that they cannot force their
wages up by strikes.
The latter proposition is certainly true,
since it is the easiest thing in the world for
an employer of labor to fill strikers places
from the thousands Of idle men that are
looking vsinly for work, and from the
thousands of European pauper labOrers
that are landed on our shores, but Mr..
GEORGES first proposition-that working
men can raise their wages by legislation
is nonsense that no intelligent working
man will swallow. 1t is the same old
chestnut HENRY GEORGE has been giving
as all along. Undoubtedly Workingmen
will fad il to their advantage to vote in
diligently and honestly, but they
will make a great mistake when they
look to legislation to materially i'm
prove Their condition. Forty or fifty
years ago, when the doctrines of Mr..
George had no foothold in this country,
our wUrkidgmen believed that the way to
raise their wages was oput in more work
and batter work. The plan was found to
work admirably, and it msde our wage
workers the best educated and most pros
porous people of their class in the world.
Despite the glittering promises Of sOci-
slism and the legislation sought in the in
tersst of labor reform, the good old way |
of our fathers still remains the best.
pursued it will bring comfort and
to every American working
man, and it will not interfere at all with |
the free and intelligent use of his ballot.

The French laugh at the English scare
over the possible invasion of England. Ad-
miral d'HOrnay Gays that it would be i'm
possible to land 100, 900 men in England
unless the English retired from some con-
venient landing place and allowed the in
vaders to land without opposition. The
admiral says that the trouble he had IN
landing $4,000 men in the Crimesn war
convinced him that il was q serious piece
of business. On the other hand, English
military men assert that France could land
IOO, coo men on their coast within two
days. They quote one Of Napoleon's let
tiers when ne was preparing for descent
upon Eugland. Napoleon wrote that he
had 100, 900 men, 800 guns and 10000
horses. The troops were practiced in en-
barking in the flotilla, and the experiment
showed that the army, with its equipments,
could find their places in less than half an
hour. Napoleon at that time said that If
he could be master of the strait for six
hours be would be master of the world.
But the great question is, what would be-
come of the invaders after landing? There
is bat one answer. The English would
drive them into the sea.

THE CURIOUS IN HUMAN NATURE.

A contemporary is responsible for the
statement that some of the railroads in the
country employ special agents whose bust
ness it is to inform berieyed family when
an employe has been killed.
The man who undertakes such mission
has = very unpleasant job. He must have
self control, tact, delicaey and sympathy.
An old railroad man, who has been in this
line of business long time. says that he
once went to little eOttsge to tell young
wife that her husband had been killed on
the road. He found the lady at work
among her roses, singing like lark. He
simply asked her If her husband was at
home. The woman stared at him, turned
a. white 3 a piece of chalk, and fell down
in q dsl<-s.iSt. When she revived she
shrieked out that her husband was dead.

Columbus Dispatch.
To Rogers a beautiful face was one that
was arch and full of mirth, says a writer
in the San Francisco Chronicle. Byron's
beauty, the stock -in-trade beauty OF his
time and school, had glossy hair cluster
ing over bright, smooth brow, eyebrows
like aerial bows, glowing cheeks and con-
slant blushes-a sort Of beautiful milk
maid, of whom one would tire in week.
Spenser is very explicit in his likes. His
love, he said, in very poor English, ought
to have eyes like sapphires, teeth like
pearls, a forehead like ivory this was be-
fore the advent of the Russian bang-hair
like gold, aud hands of silyery whiteness.
Shakespeare's beauties, it will be observed,
always had very white skin. Give him a
snow-white skin, smooth and alabaster-
like skin, and he seemed 10 care for little
else; yet the chances are that Miss Hatha-
way was freckled every summer.
Scott's heroines, who presumably repre-
sented his ideal, were all of the Byronic
Souvenir" "BoOk of Beauty" order, high
in the forehead, dark in the eyelash, and
generally soft and pensive. Ben johnson
asked for face marked by simplicity,
flowing hair and sweet neglect, and
Cowper insisted upon the damask cheek.
All this only means that each poet was
either clarifying what he considered per-
lection of feature or was bringing the muse
into the plot of capturing some one whom
he was for the moment besieging.
How, then, is the rule to be fixed? Shall
we cav that the lissome and featherweigat
Burmese is not beautiful, because TO the
Sandwich Islander enormous girth is the
sine qua non TO bslledom; or shall We say
that the straight up and down waist Of the
Venus de Milo is disgusting because that
of Nine. de MaintenOn was like a wasp?
What right have we TO make odes to our
mistress eyebrow because it is arched,
when Aladdin fell in love with that of the
N - ala a..
ing; or how shall we complacently liken
our sweetheart's teeth to double row Of
pearls when the Turkish poets sing praises
to their beauties beetle stained teeth be-
cause they are like pomeSranate seeds?

Pall-Ths "Intslhgsncer's" Pecul-
lar Efforts.

Mr.. Lewis Baker 10 at the Mcclure. He
and his wife have been esst on an ex-
tended trip, and were just on the eve OF
departure from New York for their west
ern home, when they saw the papers
teemirg with reports Of the great food at
Wheeling and vicinity. Mr.. B. left Mrs
B. at Pittsburg, to visit sister residing
there, while he took run down to the
old stamping ground, yesterday, to see how
much damage was done to his real estate
out the pike.
Mr.. Baker is looking quite well and re-
ports all the Wheeling colony at st. Paul
in flourishing condition. Mr.. Ed. Tin
ole, who married Patrick Kelly's daughter,
has severed his connection with the Globe
and started q little evening paper for him
self, called the Netrs.
Reyerting to politics, Mr.. Baker ex-
messed himself rs most sanguine of the re-
sult. He had talked with Mr.. Crawford,
of the World, Mr.. Lyman, managing editor
of the New York Sun, and Others equally
we'll posted, and their unanimous verdict
WAY that there was no possible show for
the Republicans rscapturing New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, while the
marty leaders felt reasonably certain of In
diana. Mr.. Baker did not have much
hope of California. Senator Stafford
and the other millionsire railroad
magnates virtually controlled California
politics, and in some way they would
manage TO keep her in the Republican col
umn. 1t was true also OF Oregon IN the
recent election. The Northern Pacific
Railroad through its many branches and
agencies throughout the State, controlled
her politics with the same skill and sue
cess that spider controlled its web. To
rs people who live much closer to Oregon
than YOU Eastern folks, and are fully &C.
quainted with the political forces that are
a, work in Oregon, it causes much merri
ment to hear the Republican press attrl-
buting the result to the Mills bill. That
bill had about as much to do with the
success of the Republican ticket in Oregon,
a. Jim Blaine had TO do with the tree
whisky plank in the Republican platform.
Referring to Michigan, Mr.. Baker thinks
that State is rs sure for the Democracy "a
anything can be id advance Of its consume
ton.
The reporters next interrogatory was
about Minnesota, to which Mr.. Baker
answered: "We are hopeful Of our State,
bat yon know %, 600 of Republican ma
iority, in so small alpoll, is very hard to
overcome. However, the public sentiment
on the tariff is largely with the Democracy.
Congressman Nelson, of our State, who
voted in favor of the Mills bills, comes
from Republican district that gave him
over 10, 900 majority"
