HENRY GEORGE.

If a man die, yet shall he live, and his works
do follow him.
Henry George is dead yet speaks and is better
known to-day than when he was alive. The
tribute of praise is almost universal, and yet
George was no great warrior, or statesman, or
lawyer, or divine-just plain unassulning citi-
zen. Of the people, he lived for the masses,
and in a sense yielded up his life fighting the
peoples battle. George has not lived in vain
mainly, because he lived an unsefsh life. In
knowing George we have more faith in human
ity and feel surer that our institutions are still
safe, and will be perpetuated down to the latest
moment. That the death of Henry George
should have elected so much praise from the
inen who opposed his theories is abundant evil
dence that all honest man is still esteemed as
the nobest work of God.

WAR ON BRYAN.

Some time ago, we predicted that Tam
many would repudiate Bryan, and now we have
the proof of it. The New York Journal OF re-
cert date contains an interview with Mayor
Grant, of that city, in which he complains that
Mr.. Bryan did nothing for the Democracy OF
New York city, and that every suggestion OF
his words or acts was to the disadvantage OF
the Democracy. Mayor Grant blames Mr.,
BRYAN for the candidacy of Henry George for
MAYOR of Greater New York, and says the 60
to-1 enthusiasts" would have been with the
Democratic party of New York city II Mr..
Bryan had not deferred them.
We repeat what we have before said, that
Tammany will control the next Democratic ma
tional convention, and will dictate the policy OF
the party, and will name the next presidential
candidate. We also predict that the Demo-
cratic convention will not name Mr. Bryan, and
that the platformfwill not declare for the tree
CO mage of silver and gold at the latio OF 10 to
I. The platform may stIaddle the silver ques-
ton, but we are of the opinion that it will de-
clare for gold standard. True, the friends OF
silver in the Democratic party are very san
guine that they will be able to control the next
convention as they did the last one, but they
are almost sure to he disappointed.
Tammany.is determined and hard at work
Mr.. Bryan had Tammany's support, i'll large
measure last year, simply because Mr.. Bryan's
friends, or the friends of silver in the Demo-
cratic party, controlled the convention and die
tated the nomination. They are not friends OF
silver, and they acknowledge it now.
There is but one thing for Mr. Bryan and the
friends Of silver in the Democratic party to do,
and that is to leave their party and join forces
with a party that is the friend of silver. IT
they do not want to join the Peoples party,
tl,ev can assist in the formation of a new party
"a party of the people under some other name.
If they will do so, those of the Peoples party
who really want reform will join with them and
help defeat the gold-standard men in both old
parties There are many true reformeis who
now bear the name of Democrat who will not be
dominated by the gold wing of that party, and
will willingly follow Mr.. Bryan into some new
party.

DIDN'T EXPECT IT.

We have stated, time and again, that the
Republicans are not honest in their pretended
friendship for silver, and that the Wolcott COM
mission was farce, sprung upon the people to
quiet the men in the party who are really favor
able to the white metal; and now comes the To-
peka Capital, and, editorially, verfies our state
ment. Last Saturday, the Capital said
1.-The proposals of the Wolcott bimetalism
commission to the British government have
been emphatcally rejected without any diplo-
matte jargon to soften the blow and the whole
plan of the commission has fallen to the ground.
"This result creates surprise, for nobody
in his senses imagined that Europe would COR
sent to 60 into this movement to please silver
mine-owners, Notwithstanding the fact that Eu-
ropean capitalists and more particularly English
capitalists are heavily interested in silver mines
all over the world
uEyerybodv who is not fatuous disciple of
the free silver fetch expected precisely the re-
suit that has attended the Wocott proposals.
Everybody would have been amazed had the
proposals been accepted. The leading, success
full, enlightened and solvent nations of the
world have accommodated themselves to the
gold standard, with silver as money of hand to
hand transactions, and all of them nave
made greater progress industrially, commercial
" and financially OH this basis than they ever
made on any other, as none OF them is embar-
and as money is more abundant and at lower

Gov. Leedy'S "Swipe" at the TraducerS of
Kansas,

Governor Leedy has issued the following
proclamation
In conformity with the custom established
by our forefathers, following the example of
the president of the United States, in accord
with the practice of my predecessors and in
grateful acknowledgment of the gracious ia
vor OF Divine Providence vouchsafed this COM
nonwealth during the last twelve months, 1,
John w. Leedy, governor of Kansas, do here.
by designate, proclaim and set apart Thursday,
November 25th, 1897, for day of Thanksgiv-
lug i'll the state of Kansas.
"Bountiful harvests in most sections of the
state have filled our bins and granaries. An
eager demand from foreign countries has fur
nished ready market and better prices for our
farm products.
CATER seven years of self-denial our people
have so reduced their enormous indebtedness
that at last their liabilities bear reasonable ra-
ito to their resources. The attacks upon this
state to which it has been SO long subject
subject have been so discontinued, and the rep
utation of Kansas is again as good as its char
acter always has been.
For these blessings let us return thanks to
the Great Author Of the Universe, who watched
over and guided our fathers when they estaE-
lished upon the western prairies the foundation
of our state. In the day Of our rejoicing let
our people not forget the poor and needy Of the
great cities ond of foreign countries, but send
up our petition that the Giver of all good things
may enable them to be as sef-relant, as self
supporting and as self-respecting as are the cit
liens of His commonwealth in Kansas.
"To these ends recommend that our people
day make fitting acknowledgment of the man
fold blessings Great Creator has bestowed up
on our beloved state"

BREWERS PLANS.
More About the Concerted Move to be Made
on Kansas.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Nov. lot has been
decided that the brewers will make concerted
effort this winter to effect the repeal of the pro-
hibtion law in Kansas Their object is not to
create a demand for more beer in the Sunhower
state, but to free themselves from the burdens
that are now saddled upon them in the way of
contributing to campaign funds, to the private
benefit of office-seekers and the demand of Of
6ce-holders. All the Kansas City breweries
with the exception of the Muehlbach company,
which does not do large business, were repre-
scented at meeting with Colonel Fred Pabst,
Jr., of Milwaukee, and Philip Stock, of St.
Louis, in the Coates house to-day. They dis
cussed at much length the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing fight on the prohibition law at the SEES
sion Of the legislature which they expect will
be called in Kansas this winter.
"You see, there is a great deal of talk of
special session over in Kansas" said one of the
brewers this afternoon. "Now we want to see
what we can do in the way of getting the con-
stitution of Kansas amended or of having
repealed by the Legislature the penalty for the
violation of the prohibition clause. If there is
penalty of course the law will be nopera-
tive"
"Do you know that special session will be
caled?'
"Well, if we did not have pretty good idea
to that effect we would not be here to-day. We
do big business in Kansas, but we want to do
it open and above-board We want the law to
read that way; but of course the prohibition
lists don't, and there you are"
The brewers say that the method by which
business hes to be done in Kansas gives every
office-holder and politician chance at them.
One brewer said that his Kansas business had
trebled since July. 1t Is said that the pros
perity that has come to Kansas will make bus
mess good there for two years, at least. The
brewers desire to do this business without being
mucted on every hand.
For three years the brewing companies have
banded together, and have referred all requests
for aid from Kansas to one man. Before this
arrangement was made, conditions were worse.
Politicians seeking aid for campaign fund
would often 60 to a brewer and say that they
had received $500 from another, in order to
swell the brewers subscription, when in fact
they had been given perhaps $40 by the first
one. In this way they kept the brewers guess
ing until the latter established common fund

Western Men Disguised.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 12.-A special to the
Republican from Butte, Mont, says:
Edward Boyce, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, returned today from the
east and expresses his disgust with the condi-
ton in which he found labor organizations, es-
pecialy in Chicago.
H. said some of the Chicago labor leaders
expressed pride over the fact that they voted
tor President Mckinley and Gov. Tanner, and
that was too much for him.
He also learned that President Ratchford of
the coal miners union was warm supporter
of Marcus Hanna, and he expressed regret that
the western miners had contributed funds to
aid the striking coal miners. In view of what
he discovered of the condition among eastern
labor unions, he says he will discourage the
idea of sending delegates from the miners fed
Grafton to the convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor at Nashville He said for the
good of the western workinen it was time to
sever relations with the federation of labor.
BERNARD KELLEY got his reward for kicking
at every opportunity. He has been appointed
army chaplain, and the best thing about it is
that it will take him out of the state.--Law-
renee World. (Rep.)
We are glad Barney got that job from McKin-

MY COSTS OF THE TWILIGHT.

When I've pondered DER my journal
Till the columns at last are right,
My eyes are tired of figures,
And close my books up tight.
There's patter of feet in the hallway,
And voices | seem to hear;
When 10! the door swings open,
And my ghosts of twilight appear.
They are clothed ia snowy garments,
And they move with airy grace;
But my fears take flight as dnples
Appear in each roguish face,
With merry laugh, they're upon me,
And hold inc captive quite,
While yield without nurmur
TO these ghosts Of the soft twilight
My cares disappear like msgic
Before these babes Of mine,
While their shouts of merry laughter
Delay their near bedtime
They beg for "anuzzer story"
Or ride to Boston fine,
And of course each wish is granted
OF these baby ghosts of mine.
But the slumber man comes slyly,
And scatters his bits of sand,
And the sleepy eyes grow anxious
For the sights of slumber land.
Each little head on its pillow
Is bathed in the pale moonlight,
And two little prayers float upward
AS | kiss my ghosts pood night,
RACE AND TAcY STOKES, in Westcr
Homes.
