promises TO be the most gorgeous pub
lie demonstration ever seen outside of
the New Orleans Mardi Gras, even sur
passing 1T in many features. Spring &

able doors and invites all visitors TO

for all parcels and deliver them to the
depots free of charge. But what will
prove the greatest benefit TO visitors

excellent opportunity for the people TO

Evidence accumulates that the leaders
of the silver wing of the dem ocratic
party, in their mad search for some new
fad 10 catch the unthinking voters, are
rapidly drifting toward single taxism
and socialism. Henry George, who is
the leading representative of these ideas,
is gleefully exhibiting the Endorsement
of a large number of members of the
democratic national committee, in which
they pledge him the moral strength
whatever that may be-of their indorse-
ment and support. Curiously, on the
very day of the publication of Mr..
Georges collection of political curiosities,
the author of one of them, Committee
man Shanklin of Indiana is quoted as
greeting Mr.. Bryan at Evansville as "the
next president of the United States" Is
the scheme Bryan and George for 1900,
on platform of single tax, defiance to
law, and socialism?
