CHIEFLY GEORGEIsM.

Henry George is chiefly responsible for
the various vagaries that are exhibited in
the platforms and resolutions of "the
Farmers Alliance" and Peoples Party"
In all these resolutions and speeches we
get taste of the twaddle that Henry
George talks; the same faint of agrarian-
ism and socialism that excites distrust;
the serious adoption of Georges theories
10 the point of urging the legislative en-
actment of government ownership of rail-
ways and telegraph, which would be sure
20 result in the creation of mighty army
of additional officeholders; an immense
increase of the public debt, magnificent
lobby and a ''paternal" political despot-
ism. Henry George. scribbling theorist,
toying with the polished handle of the
tail, fondling the chisel, Willing away the
happy hours with the pod auger, playing
the eornstalk fiddle at the head of the
army of agricultural instruction, is
ludicrous if not an edifying spectacle.
How beautiful it would be 10 behold this
company OF mixed reformers" in which
vocation and sex are nothing when sin,
In shape Of monopoly and corporate
wealth, is TO he squelched. The cheap
politicians, like Ignatius Donnelley, seek

have leaped TO the leadership of this
unique movement. The lone lorn women,
who found no potential place in the dock
of prohibition hens that, new-lighted on
the heaven-kissing hills OF our coasts,

something equally good and fruc,i-
flying in the George" Agri-
cultural Labor Salvation Army.
As a political petard to shat;er a great
party that has deserved success, this

transient success. As power 10 elevate

THE TARIFF AND PRICES.

The same grade of tin plates which sold
year ago delivered on board of vessel in
Liverpool at les Sd box, and two years
ago for 15s Sd, now sell for 12s Sd. The
increased duty amounts TO $1.26 box of
los pounds, while the reduction in prices
in one year is S1.06.
A similar reduction in price has been
made in foreign hosiery and in nearly all
other kinds of goods on which the tariff
was increased. Where these continue to
be imported the consumer obtains them
at the same prices as before. and the gov
eminent receives a large addition in rev.
enue.
|. Here are some figures from Sheldon's
Dry Goods Price List that ought to silence
forever the Cleveland starting that con-
tinues to monotonously chant "the tariff
is @ tax"
American shirting," which sold year
ago for s cents a yard, has been selling
this fall for 80 cents yard, although the
tariff is cents yard. With the same
rate of tariff the following goods sell at
the prices mentioned, which are in every
case much lower than year ago: Aliens
shifting 3s4 cents yard; Berwick fancy,
Al; Globe Turkey red, Az; Carver shirt
ings, So; Harmony solid blacks, 4, and
Victoria solid black, Az cents.

THE POPULAR LITERARY FAKIR

Among the most popular of holiday pub
locations was Putnam's new edition of
Irving's "Alhambra." The first impress
sion was exhausted by the advance orders
before the publication of the book. A sec
ond impression was also sold before it was
ready for delivery. Andrew Lang well
comes the return of English taste in fic-
ton back to Walter Scott, and the renewed
popularity Of Irving is hopeful sign of
return to = healthy, intelligent literary
taste in America, and yet we are disposed to
believe that Irving will be read less and less
as the years roll on, always excepting his
''knickerbocker's History of New York"
The humor Of that book is richer as well
as broader than that displayed in any
other Of his works, and a taste for broad.
rank hamor rather grows than diminishes
with the American people. Irving's
quality of style and humor recalled and
reelected that of Addison and Goldsmith.
and is 700 gentle and refined for American
taste, even among men of no mean preten-
sion TO culture. There are no American
pigments in his coIors His literary
European subjects, sketched not by
rough satIrist, like Mark Twain. but by
cosmopolitan painter, an acclimated and
nsturalized American artist in full poetic
sympathy with the scene. Irving owed
his success 10 the fact that he was a fine
echo in style and thought Of some of Eng
lands most famous humorists
until nearly 10 years OF age. Then he
went to Europe and captured England,
because he wrote after the English model
and did not offend the insular prejudice
OF Eng{ishmen by any distinctive Amer
lean color, tone or fragrance in his works.
Had he gone to England and painted such
pictures as Bret Harte gives Us in his
Luck Of Roaring Camp" he would have
been laughed out of England as a gifted
young savage who assumed 70 be 3 writer.
Yet SO rauch have times and tastes changed
in England that Bret Harte's little book
has been read by more EnClishmen
than today read Irving, for in England
as well as America the public is become
as utilitarian and realistic in its taste for
reading IS ii IS in everything else, and so

THE WISCONSIN GERRYMANDER.

The Democrats, who controlled the last
Wisconsin legislature by is to Is in the
eenate and &C TO SO in the House, out
rageously gerrymandered the legislative
districts. AS set forth by the Milwaukee
Sentinel, while the constitution REQUIRES
the arrangement of the legislative districts
upon the basis of equal population, and
the proper basis for seats in the lower
branch is population of l6, SOS. one dis
trict contains 25,143 people and another

fourth but 6, 523, the small districts being

tionment. and giving it very unfair adj

ships being set off to piece out districts in
other counties, contrary to common Gus
tom and general convenience.
The Encouragement of senatorial districts
has been SO juggled that I6S 800 people
who participated in the senatorial election
OF 1890, and who then "voted right" may
vote for senators again in 1892, while 231.-
2is people who voted for senators in 1888
and who stood by the other party. will not
have an opportunity to do so again until
1894.
In the election for members of the In
diana legislature in 1855 the Republicans
had between 1900 and 10000 plurality, and
as Benjamin Harrison canvassed the state
for reelection to the Senate he, and not
Mr.. Turpie, would have been elected had
the choice been by popular vote. But the
Democrats had gerrymandered the state so
UNANIMOUSLY that Senator Voorhees, could
boast that the Republicans would have to
get $1,000 majority to carry the legislature.

FAIRY TALES.

The time like for fairy tales
Is when the day begins TO die,
Just SIS the brilliant sunset pales,
And twilight shadows gather nigh.
when ! can lie before the fire
That blazes with a rudy light,
And hear the tales that never tire,
OF imp and fairy, gnorle and spritc.
And sometimes as the shadows fall
Across the floor from every side,
A goblin dances on the wall,
And gnomes within the corners hide,
Then as the freight blazes high
We see the shadows run AWAY,
And silently again draw nigh,
Like spirits OF the wood at play.
And when the embers family glow,
Upon the smoke I see ascend
The little toik / love 10 know.
Who vanish 81 the ssory's end.

Nothing less than the measure reported from
the House committee on the Judiciary by Mr..
Oates will satisfy the popular demand for a
new naturalization law. 1t would be better, as
TIE STAR has heretofore suggested, if the
alien-born intending citizen were required to
pass fourteen years in the country as an ap-
premiership to suffrage. In some cases IN
dOubtedly il would be a hardship; such for
instance, as the case of the intelligent immi-
grant from a country where liberal institutions
obtain, notably the British islands or colonial
dependencies. But laws are universal in their
application and no exemption Of British, Hol-
landers, Scandinayians, French or any other
nationality is practicable. Five years in the
republic, with one years residence in the state
as a prerequisite, abolishing the clause as to
filing intention, ability to read the Constitution
and establishing a: Judicial open inquisition
into the moral character and legal eligibility Of
voters applying for certificates Of naturaliza-
ton will accomplish much In the correction Of
evils that have become notorious. These pro-
visions-the leading features of the House bill
viii at least impress the public as a long step
In the right direction. As Senator Edmunds
says, the great danger In the United States now
is . peril of the suffrage, the very foundation
stone Of our liberties The dumping upon us
