So much has been said about "MoGinty'
that many people are wondering VINO and
what Mc(1inty was. New York has gone
wild over McGinty, who went down tic
the bottom of rhe say" Everybody in the
metropolis is singing the song. It's author.
ship is claimed by Joseph Flynn, of the
vaudeville firm of Sheridan q Flynn.
Here's the way this classic gem runs:
Soonday mo"nin' JUS at nIne
Dan McGiniy dressed so fine.
shtood lookn Lp agin high stone wall;
Siz. 'O'll bet a foiver. Dan.
Oh KIN carry yez to the top without fall"
SO on his shoulders he took Dan,
AM twas very near he did 70 reach the top;
Whin McGinty, thbtkin thin.
That the flower he would win,
Letgo his hould and tuck an awful drop!
Chorus-Down went McGinty to the bottom of
And tho he won the fove,
Twas more dead he was than aloiye,
Wild ribs an nos an back broke from the fall,
Dressed in his best shoot Of clothes.
From the hospital McGinty went home.
When they'd liked aich broken bone.
To find his was the father av choild;
20 10 celebrate IL roll ut,
Frinds he whit invoite
And soon was drinllln' WHISKY fast an void!
As he wandered down the strate.
In his Soonday shoot 80 nate,
Wid head mould up as proun John the Great.
In IND sidewalk was a hole,
To ressve ton OF coal
That McGinty never saw till just too late.
Chorus-Down went McGinty. to the bottom OF
the hole,
And the driver av the CART.
Bedad, he gave the Goals Star-rt,
An IL TUX an hour To dig McGinty from the
coal,
Dressed in his best shoot Of clothes!
After this Mr. McGinty's adventures
take on romantic flavor. He wants to
be pugilist, and smashes at truckman's
head with a loaded brick, and down goes
McGinty to the Jail"
The denouement is of course, is in the
last staDZa OF this touching little song:
When McGinty. thin an pale
Wan foin day got out av jail,
he Wild love to say his bhOy was nearly void,
To his house he quickly ran,
An to his wife-hs bidey Ann
But she had skipped the rope an TUX the chofld

1t will be noticed that whatever may
happen to McGinty, he is always dressed
in his best suit of Clothes" The distinct

A quiet, attentive and truly appre-
ciative audience assembled at Odd
Fellows hall, Tuesday evening, to en-
joy the good music rendered by Prof.
Armellni's orchestra and Prof. Wal
lace's Choral Club. Some of the
numbers rendered were very beauti-
ful, the Beggar Student particularly
so, also the solo sung by Miss Nellie
Shorthill. Miss Mary Chappelle who
presided at the piano during the even
ing, as accompanist, deserves special
mention. The Choral Club gave a
sacred cantata, composed by Prof.
Wallace, which vas very good. Sew
eral of the singers we're quite hoarse,
and one who had a prominent part
could not be present, which compelled
another to do double duty as tenor.
Before the rendering of the closing
number, "'The Wreck of the Hes
perus," in which Miss Sena Wallace
end Mr.. Will Kellogg took, with good
credit to themselves, prominent parts,
Prof. Wallace told in a few word the
object of the organization. 1t is to
bring together and train correctly the
musical talent of the city, so that in
time to come there may be found
those who can sing and play correct
ly. In short a society that should
become a permanent organization for

And Their Works Do Follow
Them"

Of none can this be more truly
said than Of Mrs. Emma j. Rice, our
State treasurer, whose loss we now
mourn. In many an humble home
where she held mothers meetings,
and broke the bread of life in the
name of the Master, she will be re-
membered when the society woman
has been forgotten. She loved right
eousness and always stood faithfully
for what she believed to be truth and
right. No one was more devoted to
the w. G. T. U. than was she. She
believed that women were entitled to
the franchise, and that it was neces-
sary for the publication of American
politics. She believed in Sabbath OBJ
servance and practiced it carefully.
In all matters she was progressive,
clear-sighted and always true. The
world needs such people. Sorely do
we miss her. 1t is as il one of the
great wheels had been taken from the
machinery. Who will fill her place.
The Master is calling for such.
Would God we could all live so that
when The Master calls, like her, we
would be missed for the good we have
done. Friends of the cause, it is the
voice of the Master to us; a call to
conservation.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Lit

companied by her family, where they
were met by a large company of sym
pathizing friends. The Rev. DR.. G.
B. Besse conducted the service. After
the singing of "Jesus keep me near
Thy cross" which was a favorite
hymn of Mrs. Rice and was often
sung by her when about the Masters
business, he spoke of her life and
work. He commended her example
as a wife, a mother, a friend and a
citizen, also her work in the w. G. T.
U. He told how, by her influence,

In MEMORIAM.

The following resolutions of respect
to the memory of Mrs. Emma j.
Rice, treasurer of Little Rock Local
Union, were adopted by the Union at
its last meeting:
WHEREAS, God in His Providence
has removed from our midst our be-
loved sister, Mrs. Emma j. Rice, in
whom we wei found an interchangeable
worker in the cause her heart held SO
dear, Christianity and Temperance.
Her devotion to and her strong faith
in the success of every good cause
was calculated to inspire those with
whom she associated, with zeal to
work for "God and Home and HUI
mainly" She was a woman of strong
character, and had what is more rare
in her sex than is generally believed,
the courage of her convictions, know
ing her own heart and the motives
which underlay all her own actions in
life. She believed all human work
would be purified by the participation
of her sex in it.
Resolved, therefore, That while we
feel deeply her loss and do sympa-
thize with the family in their bereave-
ment, we bow in humble submission
to the will of our Heavenly Father,
feeling assured that our sister, though
absent from us is not dead, but lives
in the hearts and minds of her CO.
workers as an example worthy Of
emulation, to inspire each of us to
more earnest work in the cause of
purity and temperance.
Resolved, That as treasurer for
some years of the Little Rock Local
Union she was an efficient and faith
full officer, and in her death the So
ciety has sustained a great loss. As
Superintendent of Mothers meetings
she felt q keen sense of the response
bilities Of mothers, and an earnest
desire to bring our work in that de-
partment prominently before the
mothers of the city.
Resolved, That as Superintendent
of Mothers Meetings the Union has
sustained an almost irreparable loss.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be handed to her family,
and spread on the Minutes of the

THE CONVENTION.
New York, Sept, 90, 1889,

In our news columns will be found the
report of the meeting held Thursday
night in this city by the party members
of New York and vicinity Some
thought that in view of the feeling Gre
ated by the mad utterances and wild
proceedings of the Rosenberg party, it
might be wise to further postpone the
convention, so as to give all sections
especially those who had hastily COM
mitted themselves by their partcipa-
ton in the Rosenberg meeting-ample
time to act with full knowledge of the
condition of the party, Others thought
that ample time had been given, and
that the state Of affairs required mme-
date action. But all were agreed in
support of the action already taken, and
the motion to hold the convention III
Chicago on October ~, as previously
decided by the Board Of Supervision,
was finally carried with practical unan-
unity, two members only, out of $50,
voting in the negative.

THE ELEUSlNIAN MYSTERIES
The Bankers Annual Convention met
last week in Kansas City.

The Bankers Annual Convention met
last week in Kansas City.
Considering the representative char
acter and immense power of the bank
ing craft, far less attention was paid by
the press to the transactions Of that
body than might have been expected.
1t received, however, all the attention
that its outward performances actually
deserved, consisting as they did, of the
reading of a few worthless elucubrations
on finance and the holding of a costly
banquet,
And right here let us say that we can
not believe in the seriousness of those
outward performances. We strongly
suspect, in fact, that these annual meet
ings of the American Bankers Associa-
ton resemble in more ways than one
the Eleusinian Mysteries, and that the
esoteric (or secret teachings of its finan.
cial hierophants are of far greater i'm
port than their exoteric (or public pro
fessions.
1t were, indeed, absurd to suppose
that men 50 thoroughly impressed with
the value Of time would meet once a
year for mutual admiration purposes.
American bankers rightly boast of be
ing the most practical men in the world
and it is safe to say that the opportuni
ties which gathering of the kind in
question affords for combination and
manipulation are quite suggestive Of it;
real object.

care that il be not known, or even sus

SELF-CONVICTED.

In reference to the recent operations
Of British syndicates in this country
communication is addressed to the New
York Times by an "Investo.," who is
evidently quite competent to speak of
such matters.
To the opinion expressed by some that
the American industries bought by for
eign capitalists may not be managed 50
proftably as they were by their Ameri-
can owners, the following significant
reply is made:
"What the result of recent British in.
vestments will be it is, of course, diff
cult to prognosticate, but it is to be re-
membered that our English and Scotch
cousins have for generations been accus-
toned to send their capital far atield,
and to see it fruitful in good results.
"As regards the management of the
properties they acquire, while they pre-
fer to retain the services of the proprie-
tor for the sake of the good will, and
also for his special kno wledge of the
business, they do not otherwise set spe-
cial store upon his personal manage
ment, since in their experience paid
representatives have, under wise super
vision and with adequate checks, done
their work every whit as well as if they
were owners instead of employees. In
fact, very large proportion of Great
Britain's wealth to-day springs from for
eign investments managed by employees
sent out for the purpose.
"As a matter of fact British capital is
only going into American investments
after the rigid scrutiny of accountants
not equaled in the world in the line of
their business, and since capitalizations
are based on retrospective and not on
prospective profits, they are not likely
to err Seriously,
The admission is here plainly made
that the capitalist, as such, is a drone;
that he cannot be considered in any de-
gree factor of production; that indus
try does not require his existence, and
that his suppression would be highly
beneficial to the industrious.
No stronger argument was ever ad
vanced against the capitalist system. 1t
is in fact, the very same argument that
all socialists, from St. Simon to Karl
Marx, have used in condemnation of
that system.
If the owners of our industries have
so little to do with their good manage
ment that they may as well be in Eng
land as here, why should we not at
once send them to the moon?
There are many people here-wage
slaves for the most part-.who would
deplore the transfer of the ownership of
our industries from American to Eng
fish capitalists. Should this occur it
would open their eyes and make them
wiser. They would see that the moon
is fit place for the owners of the earth.

Commissioner Horace A. Taylor re-
ports that the Indebtedness of the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads to the
National Government for subsidy bonds
and interest on June 80, 1889, was one
hundred and three million dollars. In
spite of the public outcry those two COR
porations have evidently not lost all
hope of never paying cent of their
huge debt, and from the first utterances
of the new Commissioner of Railroads,
it looks as if their expectations might
not be preposterous. Disregarding all
previous suggestions as to the measures
which Congress should take to make the
country secure, Taylor boldly proposes
to grant the companies an extension Of
time and reduction of interest. The
only way to deal with the Pacific Rail
way thieves is to sell them out if they
do not pay. While their tracks and
equipments are worth a fraction only
of their Indebtedness, they own vast
domain, which they obtained from the
government by fraud and bribery, and
which the nation would be glad to re-
cover in payment of its claim.
