week, you have noticed
lights burning and the force
of clerks at work opening
boxes and cases and marking

When Children Ask Questions

A lawyer in high standing, and a

ne can give simple explanation he

frankly that the matter is too difficult
for him to explain and too hard for the

And again the child queried. "Why do

John Brown

I met him in his room at the Ameri-
can House (No. 1859 in March 1858, and
saw before me man whose mere ap-
rearance and bearing refuted in ad-
vance some of the strange perversions
which have found their way into many
books, and which often wholly missed
the type to which he belonged. In his
thin, worn, resolute face there were the
signs OF fire which might wear him
out, and practically did so, but uothing
of pettiness or baseness; and his talk
was calm, persuasive and coherent.
He was simply high-minded, unself-
ish, belated Covenanter; a man whom
Sir Walter Scott might have drawn,
but whom such writer's as Nicolay and
Hay for instance, have utterly failed
TO delineate.
To describe him in their words as
"clean but coarse" is curiousiy wide of
the mark; he had no more of coarseness
than was to be found in Habakkuk
Mucklewrath or in George Eliot's Adam
Bede; he had. on the contrary that re-
ligious elevation which is itself a kind
Of refinement; the thing one may see
expressed in many venerable Quaker
face at yearly meeting. Coarseness
absolutely repelleda him; he was SO
strict as to the demeanor Of his men
that his band was always kept small,
while that of Lane was large; he had
little humor, and none of the humorist's

versation.-Col. Higgins in The At

COLONIZATION FOR THE UN-
EMPLOYED

A plan that is entirely new in the d.
rection of colonization is now under
consideration in the west. The move
ment has its headquarters in Chicago
ard it is there that the colonists will be
recruited The plan is to organize the
unemployed of both sexes and move in
army order into the wilds of Utah. There
the unemployed will establish them
selves in cooperative colony or, pos
sibly, in more than one such colony, and
will own and possess the lands and all the
productions thereof in common. The
pioneer detachment of the settlers will
leave Chicago in June.
The motive ideal of this scheme is es-
sentially of high order. The question
to be settled is whether there is virtue
in the personnel to build upon this
foundation. 1t is very certain that
community gathered from the higher
walks of life, as that condition is un-
derstood in ordinary usage, would fail
In such an effort. The intellectually
aggressive citizen would be a discordant
element in Utopia. The simple, unas-
suming religious enthusiast would seem
to constitute the only class of citi.
zens that has been able to main
tain the communal organization
with any degree of success in
the past The pauperized victims of
our modern proscriptive institutions
have never put their socialistic princi-
pies to the test. Tempered and humbled
in their ambitious dreams by an irresist-
lble adversely, the unemployed who have
the present scheme Of colonization in
hand, would seem to approach the sub
Ject from contemplative stronghold
that may contain the very secret of sue
cess. The altruistic spirit is greatly
nourished in the presence of a common
diversity, and wherever this sentimen.
gains the mastery in a community all
progressive things are possible to that
community. Our unemployed are near
" all graduates of the school of ad-
versty, and if they have taken their de-
gree in altruism meanwhile they may set
an example in colonization that can
not fail Of the best results. In any event,

"Too DEMocRAT1c"

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer in the Salisbury
cabinet, in presenting his report for the
last fiscal year gives US informa ton
about the income tax in England that Is
worthy of some attention. He states
that the revenue from this source sur
passed the estimates made at the begin
ming Of the year by the snug sum Of
s3,500, 900, equal to $17. 500, 900 Of our mon
ey. Sir Michael does not say how much
the total receipts from incomes were,
but If the increase above estimates were
8 per cent of the total revenue from all
sources the whole income tax must
have been a large figure. I'm 1895 the
rate was 8 pence in the pound, and the
gross receipts were ELS, 600, 900, Is per cent
Of the total revenue and equal to $751;
900 900 Of our money. A large portion of
this came from an income tax levied
on the profits derived from lands, houses
and railroads which had already paid
taxes to the imperial government lev
| led on the value of the property without
reference to profits derived therefrom.
How terrible the howl was last year
when the Democratic national platform
proposed a tax on incomes! The propo-
sition was regarded as highway robbery.
1t was characterized as a tax on indus
try, tax on thrift, premium offered to
idleness, improvidence and extrava-
gance. Surely if regal England, governed
in part by an aristocracy whose wealth
comes by primogeniture and whose right
to legislate is hereditary, maintains a
tax of this sort, we might tolerate such
a measure in this country, boasting, as
we do, that our government Is Of the
people, by the people and for the people.
The talk of taxing industry and discour-
aging enterprise must seem very lame
logic in view of the fact that the proper
ty in England on which the income tax
is paid amounted in 1894 to 4706, ,130.S75,
while in 1871 the value was only f465,-
47S, ,6SS. That does not look as If thrift and
industry were much discouraged in Eng
land by the collection Of tax on incomes.
The fact is the voice of the plutocrat
is too much heard in our land, and, more
than that, is too much needed.

ALGER AND BARLOW

Secretary Alger's petulant reception
OF Representative Barlow will not be
likely to raise the honorable secretary to
ton. Mr.. Barlow is the representative
OF a section of California, the interests
OF which are inseparably associated with
the improvement Of San Pedro harbor
duties he calle upon the secretary for
certain information which 1t became his
duty to obtain, and also the duty of the
secretary to impart, and was received
in a manner that was deficient in the ele-
ment even of common courtesy. The at
tempt to palliate this rudeness by
fling at the intelligence of the people of
Southern California shows amost amaz-
ing lack of official tact on the part of this
officer Did he expect to bring into his
Office, as secretary of war, the same ar
bitrary exercise of power that he swayed
in his loggers camp, as civilian? In
that even a member of congress is not
accorded a civil interview.
But in the heat of his remarks the Sec
retary dropped a scrap of information
which might have spared him much CEN
sure in the past if he had had the moral
courage to make it known before.
He says, in effect. that the president is
the real obstructionist, and that the lat
ter is absolutely opposed to spending a
dollar of the appropriation this year.
The people of California have suspected
as much and The Herald, at least, has
given expression to this suspicion, and
now we know it. The reasons given we
can assimilate with just as much of the
salt of credulity as will render them pal
atable, but there is good reason to accept
the broad fact. If, however, there is
reason why money should not be ex-
pended in this authorized work is it
state secret.
If work should be ordered to be
suspended upon one of our battle
ships that costs more than this
deep water harbor or if the contract for
building such ship should be delayed.
the navy department. would not withhold
the fact, nor the reasons, from the peo-
pie. Only last month we were told
through the navy department that the
work of finishing three warships now in
process of construction will be DELAYED
because the Carnegie con-
Germs obtained a corner on armor plate.
There was no state secret about this,
and there should be none about this har-
Dor work.
We never will know definitely
whether there has been a corner OBJ
tanned upon the rock that will be neces-
sary to build this sea wall until there is
a contract offered which will serve to
bring out the facts. II would be strange,
indeed, if the country is so near the verge
of bankruptcy that it cannot begin the
work of building rock pile that will
cost when completed much less than the
price of first class war vessel. The ad-
ministration has but scant confidence in
Its own ability to give us the promised
prosperity, if this work must stop by
reason of prospective depletion in the
volume Of the public revenues.

AT vEsPERs

The light falls dim on the altar
At the close of the Lenten day;
And the surpliced readers murmur,
And thoughts are wont to stray.
And who shall blame the novice,
kneeling mid odors of myrrh,
IT beneath nuns apparel
A woman's heart should stir?
Stir for the life untasted,
And tremble with the thought
If youth was meant for cloisters,
If beauty goes for naught?
TIE painted cherubs mimic
Cupids with arrow and bow;
And she knows she's only a woman
AS she kneels in the dusk below.
Her vows are now to the living
Her heart regains its sway;
And the nuns have lost a novice
And Nature has won the day.
