Four tramps were in town last Satur-

If they wanted job, but they refused
every offer-and these are the chaps the
Independent party says has been turned
out of employment by Republican legis-
iation. Cant you see, boys, this whole
Independent Business is to line the
pockets of the Hardins, Wardalls,
Loucks? What, have you got out of it?
Does it lock like you ale liable to real
re on your investment? Just stop and
think awhile.
The vote and "A half we alluded TO last
week as having been cast for Mr.. Potter,
has been found and is claimed to have
been cast ky Martin GibLlin for Mr..
Archison-Grom this if true, it will be
seen there could have been no tie and
that Mr.. Allen was night in refusing 10
all a new ballot. We never knowingly
10 any man an injustice, even when we
know he is the chief mogul of a political
ring and close corporation. 1t was evil
IDENTITY the feeling among EGany Of the
H. legates that Mr.. Potter must be turned

and he was. Sort % queer if the leaders

A Single Tax Petition.

The irrepressible Henry George men
are now to the front with something
new in the way of congressional petit
tions. For o>er two years they havo
been quietly gathering signatures re-
questing the house of representatives
to appoint special 1ommittee for tho
purpose of making f,;u inquiry into.
and to report upon the expediency of
raising all public revenues by single
tax upon the value of land, irrespective
of improvements. to the exclusion CT
all other taxes, whether in the form Of
tariffs upon imports. taxes upon inter
nal productions. or otherwise. This is
called the single tax" and, as may be
seen, it is also absolute free trade. +
Each signature is on separate slipoi
paper containing the petition in full.
The slips number 115, ,503. They come
from all parts of the union. and ara
signed by people whose neighbors, in
many cases, will be surprised to learn
of their sympathy with Henry George
ism. But it is the form in which the
petition is arranged that makes il the
most unique thing of its kind. The
original slips are bound together in
books. of which there arc 691, arranged
by states. The books number as follows:

''Twenty-one years, is it nOt?" Harry
asked.
Il think so. sir. Well, they had their
own way in everything. Ambrose left
his home heart-brollen, the old earl
passed miserable, spiritless ex-
istence, his only solace his little baby
boy. George. for whom he conceived an
inordinate affection. Thus two years
passed very niscrably for all parties.
You need not ask how became IA
miliar with these things, for shall not
tell You. sir
1T is immaterial." Harry replied. DO

We'll. sir. at last little George took
sick, and my lord was racked with anX-
iety. | never saw man take on so in
all my life. He would not be com
fOrted- But forgot to tell You that my
lady took the most unnatural dislike
to her child. for even a tiger loves its
Otfspring-but suppose that was be-
cause her husband loved it so. Little
George grew worse TIL the crisis was
reached. when he gradually recovered,
but with the loss of his sight. just
three months after the little suf-
ferer had got about again. there was a
terrible scene between the earl and my
lady, which ended in Bladon, my lord :

The books are arranged by states in a
series of drawers set in handsome oak
cabinet, drawing of which is herewith
given. On the top of the cabinet is an
enlarged copy of the slip signed by
Henry George, showing his signature
in fac simile, and stated that the petit
ton printed on it is signed by 1l5.503
others. The cabinet. with its con-.
tents, is on its way to Hon. Tom l..
johnson, the congressman from the
Cleveland, o., district, who is to present
it in the house, and who. it is said ex-
poets support from a considerable num-
Der of congressman, among them being
John Dewitt Warner, of New York,
Cliff Breckenridge. of Arkansas, and
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who are sup
posed to be in sympathy with the George
idea. and from others who are in favor
of a systematic official inquiry into the
principles of taxation, regardless of its
results.
The friends of the petition say that
they will have the matter brought up in
congress every year until they accom-
plish their purpose and obtain the APP
pointment of committee of investiga-
ton.

AT BROOKLYN.-HOPE Fulfilled.


Had the art of the healer failed him.
or would George Arundel have restored
to him the blessed privilege of vision?
1t was day of fearful interest 10 the
occupants of the Brooklyn mansion
the day on which DIR. jacobson had re-
solved TO test the efficacy of his treat
mcnt. Since the hour of the operation
the paticnt-how nobly the term fitted
him. for never word OF plant had
passed his lips-had remained in a
dar!Ecncd room seven long days and
nights. and now the bandagcs We're to
be removed and a curtain drawn aside
to admit Il few precious rays of light.
They were all there, brcathlesSly eX-
pectant. Even DR.. JacObson's hand
trcmbled as he united the linen wrap
pings. As for the women, their hearts
stood still with deep emotion.
Then the shapcly head was lifted. a
slight, amazed expression fitted across
the noble features and George Arundel
murlnured, in tone of ccstacy that
thrilled the listeners:
"Oh, God. | see
And he alone could speak. Then the
torrent of pent-up emotions broke
forth in smiles and sighs and tears, and
Mr.. Hardcastlc. in the abandon of his
JOY. and. let us hope, in the pardonablc
forgetfulness of the moment, put his
arm around Mrs. Evesham's waist and
absolutely kissed her, 4 proceeding
which nonc-nOt even the widow
seemed to think ont of place.

son said. reproachfully, whereupon al

Then George Arundel spoke in 4 low,
soft, satisfied tone, and all leaned for
ward to hear his words.
Now, which is kate?"
Oh, how the girls heart throbbed.

. What VIII Be the Outcome?

For more than half century the out
let toward the free lands of the west
has been the escape valve of social dis
content in the great cities OF America.
Whenever the conditions of his native
place press too hard upon him, the
artisan and the farmer has turned his
face toward the prairics and forests OF
the west.
The emigrant not only bettered his
own fortune, but bettered the condition
of his fellows who remained. by reduce
ing the competition for employment.
Thus, long before the days of 20, the
west had been the golden west, the
land of wealth and freedom and happi-
ness. All of the associations called up
by the spoken words, the west, were
fabulous, mystic, hopeful. At the
Nknees of their parents children heard
songs that voiced the most bloyant and
stirring emotions. Vast sweeps Of un-
tracked prairies, whose grasses waved
like sea, lakes in whose depths cool
groves were mirrored, droves of elk and
deer and antelope, rushing rivers, on
whose banks stood vinc-,!ecked cot
taces-thesc were in the sunny v.stas of
songs pictures.
It was above all the FL Dorado of the
home seeker Free land, free homes.
were the alluring words whose music
made the heart of the toilworn artisan
leap like child's. and his breast expand
with a nameless exaltatis1 and long
| ing.
But to-day this dream thii most
characteristic American cmotiCE~is al
most gone. Free land is gone. The
last acre of available farm land has
passed into private or corporate hands.
The nation has squandered the birth
right of the unborn, as well as of the
living, and henceforward the stream OF
emigration must run athwart the specu-
lator,s barriers, or rise TO the level OF
his greed. Already the stream is slack
ening and the reaction upon industry Is
beginning. It's effect is seen in tho
ever diminishing share which falls td
labor from its own product, and Ia thu
steady rise of rents.
What will be the outcome?-From
Jason Edwards.

lady here before You act. With her

would have courage to face even Paul
