how He FOUND A FRIEND.

He stood with care stamped on his face
His mind was filled with gloom,
Gaunt want and he were on a race;
He was looking at the moon.
He wondered if the man up there
Was hungry, tired, or sore;
If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door
"What shall l do, where can L stay?"
He moaned with inward pain;
"My meal last week has gone. away
TO meier come back again"
He went, though feeble as mouse
And found an Uncle kind,
That lived near by the Courthouse
Whar' was it,-are you blind?

senator Ingalls, Opinion.

United States Senator Ingalls, was
for many years one OF the most un-
compromising opponents OF prohibit
ton in Kansas. After the late cleo
tons no was interviewed by q Kan
sas City reporter IN regard to the
possibilities OF resubmission in Kan
sas and replied.
Resubmissioni There may be such
a thing talked about by Kansas City
brewers and u few Democratic politl'
clans Of Kansas, but 30 far as the
great body OF the people is concern
cd tho thought OF resurrectlng the
question is not for ono moment en-
tertained. Kansas has the best TEN,
peranco Legislation in the world, and
the only change that is likely to be
made is TO make it stronger. The
sentiment OF the State is overwhelm.
ingly in favor OF Prohibition, and
there is every probability that it will
remain so. Whatever other States
may decide, tho great body OF Kansas
people stand united ngainst the
saloon. The result ID thata genera
ton is growing up that has never seen

Henry Genrpo AT Vt. James's Hall.

LONDON, July 2.-Henry George
had to face au audience tonight
fully rs hostile and almost as stormy
as that which Mr.. Henry W. Beecher
met hore in the old slavery days,
when he rose tonight in st. james
Hall to combat Hyndman, the great
English socialist. Several hundred
London socialists turned out to shout
for Hyndman, while the single tax
men were comparatively few in num-
Der.
Never did Mr.. George appear in
better form than last night, even in
tho days when he was making
speeches against Mr.. Hewitt in Now
York during the mayoraIty contest.
He proved himself superior de-
batter, fighting step by stepall Hynd-
mans socialistic arguments-argu-
ments in favor of the use Of force
to get possession of property and
thus ameiorate the condition of the
workingmen. He was greeted With
loud cheers when he said that all
the results aimed at by socialism
could be achieved more speedily by
the single-tax doctrine.
At the conclusion of the debate
George was cheered by the socialists,
who went from the hall roaring the
"Marseillaise.'

There seems to be an awakening
in the labor cause all over the coun-
try and organizations are increasing
and strengthing in all lines. The
line of battle is being steadily kept
up though it is somewhat shifting
position. Those who cry that the
Knights of Labor are going down
and that there is little or no good in
organizations over look the fact that
the several class trades are growing
much faster than the knights of La
Dor are declining, if the latter are
declining at all, and what is still bet
ter, the several trades, after organic
ing into unions are forming fedora
tons every where with their brothers
Of other trades. And for all practical
purposes, these federations are capa-
BILE of much wider influence ands VS.
temotic work if possible than even
were the Knights, as each calling can
determine among themselves what is
best for them, and then step out and
call in tho assistance of their allies.
The labor cause is certainly still
growing and growing rapidly

White House nearly one year. She
left three sons and one daughter to
morrn bnr death. Mrs. Polk and
Mrs. Grant, wives Of former Presi-

Harrison, grandfather of the present

President of the United States early
in April, 1871, now over forty eight
years ago. Mrs. Tyler was born in

The circular just issued by the edu'
cational department seems an unan,
swcrable argument for local taxation
as an adjunct to the most perfect
public school system. The seven rea-
sons given by Supt Cooper for such
taxation are cumulative to positive
demonstration of his theory. Espoc-
tally should one sentence in his third
reason attract attention: "Whatever
weakness may exist in our school
system is due not to the fact that the
state school fund is not large enough,
but to the fact that local effort is not
strong enough" He shows in the
nature of things the state fund will
never be proportionately in
creased above its present amount,
and the state is left to answer the
question, will counties and localities
adopt the only method by which they
can secure the best of public schools
local taxation. The large cities
have set the example in this and we
believe it will finally be generally
observation-disclosures.
