The number of convicts in the
United States, as given by the recent
census, is As, 233. an increase of Is to the
million as compared with the previous
census. OF these the foreign-born ele-
ment furnished 14.T25, the colored pop
ulation 14.6s7, and the native whites l3,-

By the census of 1880. and the same pro-

FOR Once the Pr.>..a is Right.

The New York Press re- fers to the in
cident recently commented upon in the
Standard, in which mrn named San.
ford, after he could no longer escape
paying fair tax on vacant lot In New
Haven, proceeded to erect a fine build
ing on it, because he could no longer
afford to let it lie idle and pay taxes
upon it. The Press commends this in
cident to the consideration of the
New York tax department and
urges it to adopt the plan of
the Bridgeport assessors. 1t says:
There is utter disproportion between
the listed values of unimproved and im
proved property on Manhattan Island,
to the disadvantage of the owners of
that which is improved. The owners of
the unimprovcd property are largely
spectators, while the owners of i'm
proved property are investors and pay
double because of the evasion of the
others"
THE value of land does not express
the reward of production, as does the
the value of crops, of cattle, of build
ings, or any of the things which are
styled personal property and improve
ments. 1t expresses the exchange value
of monopoly. It is not in any case the
creation of the individual who owns the
land: it is created by the growth of the
mmunity.-Progress and Poverty.
No INCREASE of the effective power OF
labor can increase general wages, sc

Weak Women.

The more sensitive nature of the fe-
male sex renders women, much more
susceptible than men to those numerous
ills which spring from lack of harmony
in the system. The nervous system
gives waY,sics headache is frequent, the
appetite is lost, and other ailments pc

most gratifying praise for the relief it
has afforded thousands of women whose
very existence before taking it was only
misery. 1t strengthens the nerves, cures
sick headache and indigestion. purifies
and vitalizes the blood, and gives regu-
lar snd healthy action to every organ in

They looked very funny rolling their
