LET WORK Be DOVE.

work actively, and are doing all they
can to utilize and increase any dissatis-
faction and division there may be in
our ranks. Their speakers are in the

broadside over the land. Democratic
speakers should also be among the peo-

this end state and county executive
committees should be energeucally at

Whales, though they are mammals
are fitted to i've like fishes in water.
The true whales are of two kinds of
famllies-the spermaceti whale, which
has teeth in the lower jaw, and the
whalebone whale, which has none. OF
the first named, there are two species,
the cachalot and the sperm, which,
when full grown, measures from 20 to
so feet. The capture of this animal is
attended with greater danger than that
of the whalebone or Greenland whale

A Visitor Who Was Terribly Scared During
Call at the White House.

Colonel Clark E. Carr of Galesburg,
who was minister to Denmark under the
Harrison administration, was in Wash
ington one day when Lincoln was presi-
dent.
"1'm going to the White House to
see Abe, I" said Owen Lovejoy to Carr as
they met in front of the treasury build
ing. Carr went with him. They were
shown into the presidents working
room, and soon after Lincoln came III.
He wore long garment which might
have been cut from bathroom pattern
or the cover of prairie schooner. His
hair was more frouzeled than usual,
and the carpet slippers were worn down
and without heels. The condition and
appearance Of the presidential no.
siery were such as would have made
Jerry Simpson envious, provided the
stories they told on Jerry were true,
which they never were. The president
gave his callers an Illinois greeting
and then showed up one of the sleeves
of his curious garment and pointed out
to his visitors the infamed condition of
his arm.
"You knew I had the smallpox, " said
Lincoln in cold blooded manner. Love-
joy said yes and proceeded to talk about
other matters, while Carr's few hairs
had inclinations to stand up, and he
moved about in his chair as if it con-
tanned dynamite. The visit over, the
caller passed out. Once in the air, Clark
asked Lovejoy:
Ibid you know the president had the
smallpox when we went there?'
Certainly" was the answer.

Carr. "Why didn't you say so?''

I supposed you had"
"Well, I never had itr' roared Carr.
"But if / do have it now want you to

disease from Abe Lincoln. That will be
something"
But Lovejoy had no occasion to do so,-
as Lincoln had the varioloid only.-Chi-

MAKING Hay in the Shade

The G0M0S LEAVE NEW T0RK.

The tax assessors of New York have,
il seems. run the Gould family out OF
the metropolis. During the lifetime OF
Jay Gould, or the latter part OF 1t at
least, he paid personal taxes upon about
$50, 600 worth of personal property. Last
year, however, the commissioners of tax
es and assessment fixed the taxable val
uation of the personal estate left by the
late Jay Gould at 100000. The
amount which the estate had to pay I'M
der this decision for the taxes OF 1888
was about $4,000. George Gould, the
present head of the family, regarded
this tax as an imposition. He did not
believe that the city should assess the
estate for any such amount. And now
tue Goulds have all recently made afida-
Wits that they are no longer residents of

The charitable institutions OF our
state are the most sacred public
trusts. There is not person who
reads this article but who may have
some friend or relative so unfortu-
nate as to become insane or blind or
be afflicted with other of the num-
berless terrible ailments to which
humanity is subject The more en-,
lightened a people the more care is
exercised in looking after the
proper treatment of these unfortu-
mates. The peculiar maiadies with
which they are afflicted make it
practically impossible for them to
be cared for at home thence enlight-
ened nations and states make pro-
visions for their care in central in
situations where large expenditures
Of money are made to provide for
their comfort and treatment. The
state Of Kansas has spent many
millions of dollars in providing one
Of the grandest systems of charit-
able institutions that any state
owns or possesses. They are
monument to the enlightenment
and advanced ideas of our people
and Kansans have been accustomed

inaugurated with the birth Of the
state and carried forward by sue
ceeding administrations, until they
stand at the head of such institu-
tons in the country. Under the
fostering care of the republican par
ty especial attention was given to
this great work. The very best and

methods of treatment sought out

zen of the state. without regard to
party or condition, felt satisfied that
should he or his family or friends
become afflicted, his state had pro-
vided a retreat where every care
and attention that the great heart
Of q splendid people could provide
would be furnished for their care
and sustenance.
