The degree Of poverty existing in the
city of London is not expressed by the
figures of the census of paupers, al
though, admits the San Francisco Chron-
icle, they are formidable enough. 1t is
appalling to think of 105, 900 publicly
registered paupers in one city, but il the
assertions OF missionaries and others who
are familiar with the subject are to be
credited, that number is scarcely tithe
Of the whole. A writer in an English
review, nearly two years ago, declared
that there were a million persons in
London always hoveriug on the verge of
starvation and another million whose
condition, while not so precarious, was
always menaced by the wolf of want.
Since these unchallenged assertions were
made, the depression of business In Eng,
land has been greatly increased, so there
is good reason for believing that the
conditions are much worse now. What.
ever may be the cause of this extra
ordinary state of affairs, il is no credit
to Nineteenth Century civilization, and
there is little wonder that the contem-
plation of it drives sympathetic men into
all sorts of vagaries of opinion.

A right to be protected
From life's most cruel lights
BY manly love and courage
Sure these are women's rightsi

pose 10 apply to the legislature, now in ses-
sion. for authority to issue the bonds OF Hen
nepin county for the sum of 81 800 00 for the

atIYely small part of said S1,500,000, aud
when completed will release the present

Whereas, The burden of taxes upon the

levied, not exceeding one or at most two
mills TO complete that portion of the court

from all attorneys upon the filing of
