families with which destitute child
may be placed, and the children's com
mittee of the destitute board selects a
home suitable for each child that comes
under its care. On an average one dol

lowed for board and clothing. but in
no case are foster parents selected who
are so poor that the adopted child will
suffer hardship. 1t must be sent to
school regularly until the age of four

The local committee watches over each
adopted child and sees that the condi-
tions are all fulfilled. The earnings of
4 boy of that class from fourteen to
eighteen are put in the postal savings
bank, and at the latter age he can be-
gin his career with little ready
money. As result the state has

Jerry and The Midland journal.

Several weeks weeks ago the Md
LAND JOURNAL named Senator Allen
of Nebraska as its fret choice for
President on the Populist ticket for
1896. The newspapers report Hon
Jerry Simpson as naming Senator
Allen as his choice for that office on
the Populist ticket.
Jerry also is in favor of abolish;ng
the senate, that aristocratic body OF
millionaires. The MIDLAND JOUR-
NAL has expressed the same opinion
and goes step further. The veto
power should be taken from tie
hands OF the President and that
public functionary reduced to his
legitimate purpose. that of attending
to the execution of the laws.
When we haye but one legislative
body or Honse elected by the peo-
pie direct and the most important
laws it passes referred back to the
people for their approval or rejection
we will be approaching true repu6-
lican system of government. The
Hon. Jerry and the MIDLAND JOUR
NAL are in accord on the Presiden-
tial and the Senatorial questions.

The Cause of Hard Times.

Louis F. Post one Of the leading
light lecturers of the single tax sys-
TEN says,
"The fundamental cause of the
present hard times is the fact that
the speculation in land has run so
high that business cannot prosper
and bear the burden of land values"
The facts, however, are all against
this theory, for theory il is, without
the least bases to rest upon. Land
values have fallen with the prices Of
every commodity till they are almost
nominal. The farms throughout the
country will scarcely sell for the
value of their improvements. In the
large cities land values are perhaps
holding their own in the best bust
ness locations. 1t is the burdens of
money values, the interest compound
ed many times, which has reduced
all values except the value of debt
and interest. The speculation in
stocks. in farm products and every
kind of stap,e goods that it was pos
sble to cover or stake margin on
have run riot. For every dollar that
has been used in land speculations n
hundred has been used in these ether
gambling speculations. BY manag-
ing these epeculations in stocks and
products and watering every business
that stocks could be based on, the
property Of the country has been
covered with mortgages end bonded
debt, When this ''Gnanciering"
through bank credits was accomplish
ed the volume of money in circulation
was constructed by drawing in
national bank currency, demonetizing
silver and curtailing loans by the
banks. These methods for diminish.
ing the money volume and its credit
representative produced a steady fall
in prices Of all commodities and land
values also. Debts and interest rose
with the fall in prices Ii | they are at
the present time worth double as
much as they were ten to fifteen years
ago. That is, it requires about twice
rs much Of all saleahle commodities
to satisfy debt and interest as it did
at the above named period. Land
speculation cuts bat an Insignificant
figure in the cause of hard times
when compared With the manipula-
ton of money. Money is Gov alb
solute master of the land and all its
products and the people who live on
the land.
WhcD the enthusiasm of the single
tax propagandist has eigop place to
cool, cOmmonsense judgment, they
will themselves be surprised to have

The characters in The Thousand

the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes. The natives still

they play the same primitive instru-

SESSIONS wend their way along the
streets as of old; the popular festi-
walls or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
ment; the public recitcrs still prac-
tee their profession before admiring
crowds; the water carriers still carry
their burdens so welcome to thirsty
lips; except in the houses of the rich
and thoroughly Europeanized food is
still eaten with the fingers and in the
same manner, and the hands are
washed with the same basins and
ewers; the mosque of El-Azhar still,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, at
tracts its crowds of students.
Even the old wooden locks and keys
are still in use, and the water jars are
still kept cool in the lattice work of
the oyerhanging mushrabiyeh win
dow frames. Instances of this sort
might be multiplied hundred fold
1t is indeed wonderful change and
contrast that is presented to the eye
when you leave the European and
enter the native quarter And the
mind and feelings turn in unison and
become attuned to the changed scene.
The sense of taking part in a new
and different life steals over you, and
you temporarily throw off your affinity
with the west and the nineteenth cen
tury. The clock of time is for the mo.

They Mock at His Calamity.

When Cleveland entered the White
House he held the winning cards IN his
hand, but he permitted the crafty republic
cans 10 euchre him, and now he holds no
card that will take single trick. He is Of
the mercy of his pretended friends but
always his secret enemies. He had not the
sense or the honesty 10 take the side OF the
people whose votes placed him in the seat
he was so unworthy to fill, but fell into the
hands of the gold ring, who hattered and
cajoled him TO lake that one fatal step and
lend all the power of his official position 10
the demonstration of silver, while the great
bulk of the people fOndIy hoped he would
take their side in again bringing about the
free coinage of that American metal. Had
he done so both Houses Of Congress would
have given his administration a hearty
support, backed by the glad acclaim OF a
grateful people. Prosperity would have
spread her angel wings over the land, and
the nation resounded with songs ofrejoicing,
in place of the means of distress and want.
The treacherous friends who tempted him
to betray the people, having used him TO
accomplish their dark plot, now seofa him.
They laugh at his calamity and rejoice
when his fear comeih. He lopged TO be a
gold bug and with the gold bugs stand, but
they Will none of him, aud scorn him on
every occasion as the Buffalo hangman.
Cleveland's fate is the fate of thousands
who have been tempted by the sirens of
wealth TO desert The righteous cause of the
people, by their songs of promise and the
glitter of their gold. They always betray
10 destroy. Cleveland is but another melan-
choly warning of the thousands before him
whom the people trusted, only 10 betray
them, to be spurned afterwards and Knocked
by his tampters.

The Mysterious Relic of Prehistoric
People.


People.
On the shores of Brittany there iq q
mysterious relic of forgotten ages
which escapes the attention of most
travellers. Far out in the Moril;an sea
across which legend tells us Arthur
sailed with his knights in pursuit of
the dragon-rises little island. 1t
can be reached in Il boat from the
coast only in calm sea. A Breton
shepherd has solitary hut upon it
and feeds few sheep
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse, the traveller finds himself
at the foot of the hill, in the face of
which has been eXcavated a great tun-
mel or cave, tloored, walled and rooted
by huge fiat rocks.
Some archteologists say that this cav
ern was the work of the worshipers OF
the serpent god of Hoa-a race that has
passed into oblivion.
The learned traveller knows only that
the mysterious cavern antedates all
history; that the rocks of which it is
built came from the mainland q dis
tance of more than one hundred miles
inland. No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would re
quire vast labor and skill to bring these
enormous blocks of stone and place
them so securely as to defy the wear
and friction of ages.
How were they brought here by men
who had, perhaps, few mechanical ap-
pliances-nothing but the strength of
their bodies and their faith in Il strange
god?
The race who built the temple are
dust. Even their names ages ago per
shed from the earth. Their religion
is vanished. These stones are the mon
unents of their indomitable resolution
