The Downtrodden Mule.

With all his good qualities and his few
bad ones, his queer freaks and useful vir-
tues, the mule is q most pathetic beast
after NIL He seems born to q hard lot i'm
lie, and the fact has left its imprint all
over him. He looks unhappy. His long.
down dropping, patient face and wistful
eyes, his sensitive ears-an unfailing ba-
rometer of the state of his mind-his in
adequate little feet, his unsightly tail and
sober hue all go to complete his melan-
choly makeup. They say it is pure cuss-
edness that makes mule bray, but | do
not believe it. think he thus lifts up his
voice because the burden of his existence
is all too heavy to be borne in silence.
He has no faith in human nature. but
this is quality that has never been Gull
tivated in him. Human ingenuity called
him into existence. but he sees little rea-
son to regard that as debt of gratitude.
seeing rs his existence is very little good
to himself, and why should he cherish af
lection for beings who give him nothing
but harsh words, blows and hard work.

JAY GOULD.

The death Of Jay Gould closes the
career OF the most notable financier and
manipulation OF America, If not of the
world. The great fortune he accumu-
lated was gained through shrewdness,
holiness, and On INSCRIPTIONS use OF
every weapon which fell into his hands.
Tho quietness with which the stock
market received his death is due to the
fact that the fortune had outgrown the
man. For ten years Jay Gould had di.
rected his energies to welding his vast
fortune into compact mass, SO shaped
that his death would not alter it's con.
duct or disturb its values. In this he
has succeeded. The Gould properties
will remain as permanent as the Astor
estate or the Vanderbilt millions.

FOE THE sINa1.R rAx

The action OF the New South Wales
parliament in passing a resolu ton in
favor of raising revenues by single tax
on Land values irrespective OF improve.
ments. is the most important political
action since the abolition of slavery. It
means that the Australian colony ia
going to try the theory of Henry George
to its fullest extent.
The single tax theory is one of the
most interesting which has been OK
plotted in the history of govern me nts.
Its adherents are constantly growing in
numbers among thinking men It's bit
terest opponents are the socialists who
see In 1t the defeat of their projects for
governmental operation OF all the forces
OF production.
In the present Congress- it has boon
stated that there are seventy five warm
believers in the single tax, but natur.
ally they do not feel at liberty to thrust
their views to the front until their con.
stituencies demand it. The most prom
inent OF them is Tom L. Johnson, the
sire raj way magnate, and a gallant

In 1856 stone weighing fifty-six pounds
was exhibited in London. 1t was said to
have fallen from the sky in Yorkshire in

was received with great incredulity. At

GUARDING AGAINST DANGER.

A thorough examination OF the public
schools reveals fair degree of caro-
against contagious and infectious dis
eases, but there is need of closer direc.
ton from competent authorities. THE
TINES believes for the next two weeks
member Of the board of health or the
city physician should be employed to
make daily inspection of the schools.
It would be the most certain way of
closing the avenues OF danger.
There is no particular cause for alarm,
but strong reasons for vigilance to
check the spread of scarlet fever and
diphtheria from ignorance and careless
ness. The teachers have generally
used e God judgment, but have been re-
miss in reporting to the uperintendent
and complying with his instructions.
A mistake has been made in locating
the temporary school on Henry street
opposite Williams livery stable. In
the adjoining houJe there were recently
three cases OF diphtheria aud two deaths.
and the location does not look prepos-
aessiug from sanitary point OF view.

We believe that the present agitation
will result in good to both schools and
the public.

Tammany Politicians Surprised.


The remarkable display of enthusiasm
that greeted the mention OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands name In Tammany Hall on the Fourth
Of July is the subject Of considerable CONF
ment, particularly in the republican papers.
The cheering lasted several minutes and sur
prised the Tammany leaders, who occupied
seats on the platform. They were not
aware that the rank and file of Tammany
regarded Mr.. Cleveland with so much
favor.
The truth Is there never was any great
amount Of hostility to Mr.. Cleveland in the
Tammany Society. A few of the leaders
were opposed to him because they were
afraid he would not adopt their views rela-
tive to certain matters II elected, and it is
probable that their fears were well founded.
Judging him by his record he would do
what he believed to be for the best interests
Of the people regardless of the wishes of
anybody.
The demonstration in behalf Of Mr..
Cleveland in Tammany Hall on the Fourth
of July settles the question as to whether
or not Tammsny is going to give Mr..
Cleveland cordial support. 1t can be
safely stated that it is. II Tammany can
give New York to him he is certain OF that
state.
