JANE Adams OF HULL HOUSE
address delivered by Miss Adams at


address delivered by Miss Adams at
st. Louis.)
ct will conf1ne my observa tons to
Chicago said Miss Adams. partly be-
cause do not know anything about St.
Louis, and partly because you of course,
would rather hear Chicago berated
than any other city Gaughter2
which is made up of foreigners. In the
neighborhood of Hull House there are
representatives of 10 different Ian
guages, some of them scarcely more than
jargons. Many of the people have come
to this country hoping all sorts of things
from self-goYernment- The Italian peas
ant, the Greek and the Armenian no
longer come, as the German and Irish
peasant did a few years ago, expecting
to pick up diamonds in the street, but
they do expect better things, and they
have right to do so.
They arrive in Chicago and are then
flung together, $4,000 in our ward. Who
gives them their first ideas of Self-gOV
eminent, their first lessons in citizen
ship?
There is only a handful of Irishmen
in this ward. But these Irishmen run
the politics of the ward. Naughter)
They get all the offices and they show
all the other people how to vote. The
men who come from Ireland have come
with the old traditional notion that
England has oppressed Ireland for sew
eraI centuries, and it is fair to get some
thing out of England in return; that
feeding at the public crib is all right,
because the crib fifirst has been filled out
out of dishonest landlords pockets"
She told of a certain Irish alderman
from the Nineteenth ward who was no
toriously corrupt, whom every Chicago
newspaper assailed, but who had been
reelected in spite of this for eight
years.
The reason was that he was kind to
the people of the ward. He secured
Jobs for the men; when death occur
red in a family he provided funeral;
when a family wished to visit outside
the city he secured them a pass; if some
member of a family is arrested the al
derman balls him out.
Thus, she said, this corrupt man was
suffered to do for the poor what the
prosperous. righteous people who lived
two or three miles away ought to- be
doing The poor, newly arrived peas
ants could not understand moral prin-
ciples except in concrete form.

AMERICAN VERSATILITY.
IA de TocquevilIe in Engineering Mag

La de IOcQueVllIe IN Engineering Mag
azine
The inhabitants of the United States
are never fettered by the oxiorns of
their profession; they escape from all
the prejudiceS of their present station;
they are not more attached to one line
of operation than to another; they are
not more prone to employ an old meth
Cd than new one; they have no root
ed habits, and they easily shake off the
influence which the habits of other ma
tiOnS might exercise upon their minds,
from conviction that their country is
unlike any other, and that it's situa tion
is without precedent in the world.
This perpetual change which goes on
in the United States, these frequent
vicissitudes of fortune, accompanied
by such unforeseen fluctuations in pri-
Vate and in public wealth, serve to keep
the minds of the citizens in a perpetual
state of feverish agitation, which ad-
mira bly, invigOrates their exertions and
keeps them in a state of excitement
above the ordinary level of mankind
The whole life of an American is passed
like a game of chance, a revolutionary
crisis, or a battle. AS the causes are
continually in operation throughout the
country, they ultimately impart an ir-
resistible impulse to the national char
acter The American, taken as chance
specimen of his cOuntrymen, must, then,
be a man of singular warmth in his de-
sires, enterprising, fond of adventure
and, above all, of innovation. The same
bent is manifest in all that he does; he
introduces it into his political laws, his
religious documents his theories of So
cial economy, and his domestic occupa-
lions: he bears it with him in the depth
of the backwoods, as we'll as in the bus
mess of the city. 1t is the same pas
sion, applied to maritime commerce.
which makes him the cheapest and the
quickest trader In the world.

THE WORLD" DEFENDS THEM.

The New York World contains a
rather novel defense of the action of
leading Populists in Kansas on the in
come tax matter. The World says edi-
torially:
The movement in the Kansas 1egis1a-
eure for the adoption of a resolution
asking congress to ''Su bm1t a PROPOSE
ton to change the constitution so as to
permit the taxation of inordinate
wealth" will be met by the usual sneers
and jeerS in the centres of wealth. 1t
would be well, however, for the wealthy
classes to remember that at the last
election $500 600 citizens voted for a
platform which demand edan income
tax, and even went to the foolish and
dangerous limit of proposing to pack
the supreme court Of the United States
In order to secure a reversal of its de-
cisiOn against this tax.
Before abusing large masses of citi-
zens for favoring an income tax would
1t not be well to try, in imagination, to
put yourself in their placer"
Suppose, Mr.. Millionaire that you
were one of the hundreds of thousands
of farmers in Kansas and elsewhere
who are barely able to make the ends
meet" year after year, though tOiling
hard and living with a rigid economy
that only poverty can justify. Suppose
your ambition has been narrowed to
keeping your family on top of the earth
and paying your taxes and the interest
on your mortgage. Suppose you had
done a little better, as many of the
farmers have done, and had by good
management or good luck saved a few
hundred or a few thousand dollars. Or
suppose you were a mechanic or mill
operative or day 1aborer, even worse off
an many ways than the average farm
er.
And suppose that the whole burden of
taxation for the SUPPORT of the federal
-aggregating the enormous
amount of billion dollars every two
years-were placed, as now, upon the
consumption of the country, the every
day necessaries of the people. Under
this system taxation is unequal and
therefore unjust. 1t takes no account
either of ability to pay or benefits re-
ceived. The farmers or the mechan-
les or the small salaried mans family
of five pays almost as much per capita
for the support of the federal govern
ment as does the millionaire's family of
five.
Is this right? Is it equal? Is it demo-
cratic?
If you, Mr.. Multimillionaire, were one
of these plain, Woodworking people,
would you not think that 'inordinate
Wealth'-incomes beyond the needs of
tuxury-incomes that warrant $50, 900

CLEVELAND IS BITTER.
The President Arraigns Indecent
Newspapers in Strong Language

Washington, Feb. 27.-The president
mas delivered a most scathing criticism
upon indecent newspaper publications
in denying a pardon to James B. Will
son, sentenced in December, 1895, in
Indiana. to two years imprisonment
for mailing obscene papers. The pres
ident says:
This convict was one of the editors
and proprietors and a distributor
through the mails and otherwise of a
disgustingly vile and obscene newspa-
an event distinctly tending to the pro-
motion of public morals and the protec-
ton of the sons and daughters of our
land from filth and corruption at time
when indecent newspaper publications
are so dangerous and common.
Everybody in favor of cleanliness
should encourage the punishment of
such oHenseS and desire that it should
be more frequently imposed. While I
am much surprised by the number of
respectable people who have Joined in
urging clemency in this case, my duty
seems so clear that l am not in the least
tempted to interfere with the just and
wholesome sentence of the court
When John w. Kern, a leading attor-
ney of Indianapolis, called upon Presi-
dent Cleveland to urge the pardon of
Wilson, he received an intimation of
the outcome so broad that he will not
soon forget it.
DO you suppose, Mr.. Kern. that if
1 granted pardon or communication of
sentence to this man, it would do him
any good, or would he go ahead with
his offensive publications.?
Mr.. President" replied Mr.. Kern 81
think the man has already had his les
son. 1 have here certificate from all
the leading newspaper men of Indian
apolis as to the decency of Wilson's
publication as now conducted"
You say the newspaper men claim
his publication is decent?" said the
president sneeringly. with the empha-
sis on the profession. who certifieS to
the decency of the newspaper menu"
Mr.. Kern was surprised at the presi-
dents remarks, and listened for several
minutes while the executive denounced
the press in general.

BRADLEY MARTIN CRUELTY
While He was Giving His Ball Two

Tacoma, wash. Feb. 27.-The price
of wheat in the Tacoma market has ad-
vanced 3 cents, making an advance of
Is cents in two days. At the close of
business yesterday No club was
quoted at IS cents and No. 1 bluestem
at soc. or about II cents above Chicago
quotations.
A brisk demand for milling purposes
and a short supply, due to expectation
to India, Europe and Africa, are the
causes of the sharp advance There
are about zoo, 900 bushels of wheat in
the state. held chiefly by farmers and
warehousemen who have been waiting

Reee as Aids in War.

History records two instances, ac-
cording to Mr.. Whiteley Stokes in the
London Athenaeum. in which bees have
been used in warfare as weapons
against besieging forces. The first is
related by Appian, of the siege of The
miscyra in Pontus, by Lucullus in his
war against Mithridates. Turrets were
brought up, mounds were built, and
huge mines We're made by the Romans.
The people Of Themiscyra dug open
these mines from above. and through
the holes cast down upon the workmen
bears and other wild animals and hives
or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded in
an Irish manuscript in the Bibliotheaue
Royale, at Brussels, and tells how the
Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-
ter. which was defended by the Sax
Ons and some Gallo auxiliaries. The
Danes were 1vcrSted by a stratagem,
but the Norwesians. sheltered by hur-
dies, tried to pierce the walls of the
tOwn-when, what the Saxons and the
Gaeidhil who were among them did.
was TO throw down large rocks, by
which they broke down the hurdles
over their heads. What the others did
to check this was to place large posts
under the hurdles What the Saxons
did next was to put all the beer and
water OF the town into the caldrons of
the town, to boil them and spill them
down uDON those who wera undor tho
hurdles. so that their skins were peeled
of. The remedy which the Lochians
applied to this was to place hides out
side the hurdles. What the Saxons did
next was to throw down all the bee
hives in the town upon the besiegers,
which prevented them moving their
hands or legs. from the number of bees
which stung them. They afterwards de-
sisted and left the city"

Come Peoples Foods.

The foreigners who come to this
country prefer the foods they are &C.
customed to in their own country.
When you walk through the regions
where tie Germans live, you see rye
bread. sausages and signs announcing
that sauerkraut is for SALE When you
go through the part of any city where
many French families live, you will
see that the keepers of the shops are
French, and tine signs in the window
announce the sale Of French foods, in
the French language. In the Hebrew
quarters you will find that it is the kind
of food that the Hebrews. no matter
from what country they come. prefer,
that is sold in the shops. Where the
Cinnamon live. it is the foods that they
prefer that yoI will see in shop win
dows. These foods come from their
native country. Thirty thousand duck
eggs were sent to this country from
China during the last month. These
eggs are each wrapped in black mud.
This mud. which is of the consistency
OF putty, remains on the egg for
months. The yolk of the Chinese duck
eggs is pink, not yellow like our duck
eggs. These eggs are packed in boxes
OF twenty-five dozen, but the Chinese
dozen is ten. not twelve, as the Ameri-
can dozen is counted The rice the
Cinnamon prefer is cooked to a jelly
form. Sharks fins are Chinese deli
cacy, and sailed plums are also a deli
cacy. You may think these are queer
things to want to eat, but you must re-
member that much that you eat would
make Chinaman shudder-that he can
net conceive how You can wear the
clothes you do. and that our babies,
with their full heads of hair, are hide
GUS little monsters. 1t is matter OF
education and Selected.

In Honor OF Japan's War God.

In the japanese capital there is q
gigantic image of woman made Of
wood and plaster, and dedicated to
Hachiman. the god of war. In height
it measures fifty-four feet; the head
alone, which is reached by a winning
stairway in the interior of the figure,
being large enough to comfortably hold
twenty persons. The figure holds a
huge wooden sword in one hand, the
blade of the weapon being twenty
seven feet long and a ball twelve feet
in diameter in the other hand. Inter-
nally the model is fitted up with an ex-
traordinary anatomical arrangement
which is supposed to represent the Diff
ferent portions Of the brain. A fine
view Of the country is obtained by
looking through one Of the eyes Of the
figure. The admission to all parts ct
the structure costs about one penny.
