The Henry George Monument.

The Henry George Monument.
The dedication of a monument, paid
for by public subscription, to the men,
Dry of that great and good man, Henry
George, who lies buried in Greenwood
cemetery, New York, is a well deserved
tribute. Few men have lived who were
finer examplars of public spirit and of
purity and nobility of character. His
whole career was devoted with a single
eye to the welfare of his kind. If he
showed on several occasions of his life
ambition for public office, no one who
knew him ever believed that there was
anything in the least ignoble or self
seeking in that ambition. Like many
monument to keep his memory fresh in
the public mind and heart. His life and
his great books, "Progress and Poverty.
and Political Economy" will prove
sufficiently monumental, "more endur-
ing than brass or royal palaces" Still
mementos in marble or bronze have the
grace of gratitude and love to commend
them.
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn was the
principal orator on the occasion of the
dedication. This enthusiastic disciple
of the Georgian philosophy was in the
main no more than just in his eulogy.
But his fervor struck one false note. He
alluded to Henry George as having been
a prosecuted man during his life. This
is an amazing statement. W. know Of
no thinker whose opinions fomented
such hot controversy to whose high
minded sincerity Of belief and eloquence
of presentation all his opponents in Eu-
rope and America paid higher tribute,
no one who was more genuinely re.
spected, ever admired, by those who diff
fered from him. When he died, the uni
versal sentiment was expressed with no
uncertain sound that one had gone
whom the world could lily afford to
lose. This chorus Of admiration called
forth by the man himself, as we'll as by
his writings, during his lifetime and
after. a scarcely be called persecution.

eign countries this year as something
more than the patriotic holiday Of the
Yankees. 1t has wildly forced itself on
the comprehension Of other peoples that
the United States has now become a full
grown world power to be reokoned with
most seriously in future calculations
of the international balance. This feel
ing is entirely apart from any question
of augmented colonial possession or &C.
quirement of points Of vantage in dis
tant parts Of the world. That problem
is one we have yet to settle for our-
selves at home with equal disregard of
foreign jealousies or Of foreign prefer
ences. The conception which has struck
with such power Of impact is the first
realization of the actual, and still more
of the potential, fighting power of Amer
lea. This lesson, to be sure, was i'm.
pressed On the foreign public in some
degree by the tremendous military
operations of our civil war. But it was
then associated with the convulsive
throes of a people saving itself from
disruption, and lost part of it's effect.
The spectacle of a conflict undertaken
from motives of sentiment and philan-
thropy puts our warlike undertaking on
a different basis. The ease and rapidity
with which we have created, equipped
and modified an effective fighting
force. whose achievements have extort-
ed the admiration of the world, out of
a condition of relative unpreparedness,
have set military and political critics
hard a-thinking. Scarcely any nation
could have been poorer in actual organ-
lied readiness aside from our navy for
a foreign war, but two months have
shown convincingly how easily we sur
mount obstacles on the artificial side Of
war, what dauntless courage and power
of effective work rest in our compare
lively undisciplined troops. To leap
from this to the logical development of
such potency is a short step. And what
stands true Of the army is even more
true of the navy.
But the conviction of the power Of
this country, which may seem a threat
to some of the continental nations, has
been signalized in England as an auspi.
cious fact. The participation of so many
of the most distinguished Englishmen
of all parties in the functions attending
the celebration of the Fourth in London
and other cities was most significant,
their expressions most eloquent in sym
pathy and approval. Had it been a
purely British holiday there could not
have been a more genuine enthusiasm.
Though we did not need it to be sure Of
English friendship at this juncture the
special exposition Of that amity is the
more impressive on an anniversary
which carries with it the memory Of

Soldiers Families.

Soldiers Families.
One of the duties which the public
owes to the soldiers in the field is to
provide as far as possible for the fami-
lies of such as had others dependent on
them. Various isolated cases of extreme
hardship have been reported, and it is
quite certain that many others exist.
The soldiers pay at the best is not ade-
quate in many instances to make up for
the loss Of the breadwinner in the
service Of his country. During our late
civil wal in it's earliest stage much dis
tress fell on women and children
through this cause, but prompt meas
ures of organizing relief were put in
operation, and after a few months there
was but little substantial ground OF
complaint.
Something is already doing to meet
the similar exigency now, though the
demand Oh patriotic charity will be
much less. But though the volume of
need is diminished the Importance of
quick and effective method is pressing.
To be of any genuine use, as the war
cannot last a long time, there should be
the least possible delay. The work is
one in which women by their magnetic
influence and through the intense sym
pathy which they would naturally have
with the end in view are peculiarly fit.
ted to be useful. Wherever volunteer
regiments have gone forth it is to be
hoped that immediate steps will be
taken to put aid to soldiers families
where need exists on a good working
basis. Money will flow freely to the
call once the machinery is adjusted for
it's collection and distribution. A little
zeal in the natural noncombatants will
go far to give a useful outlet to patriotic
enthusiasm when sex forbids to shout
der the rife.

pushing their case. They had insisted
that they must have two places on the
ticket. The conference had continued
all night, and the POpulist members had
been requested to lay the two-place ulti-
matum before the convention. They had
done so, and a telegram from the chair
man announced that the convention had
voted to give the Democrats Lieutenant
Governor and no more. This precipi-
tated something of fight. Many who
had favored fusion on a divided ticket
now demanded a straight ticket. Others
who felt the same way said that this
could not be done after indOrsing the
present administration, as had been
done by adopting the platform. H. c..
Solomon, Of Atchison, moved that the
convention find out who the Populists
had nominated and that it then name the

committee, called the delegates to Or

music by the band, Secretary TllIotson
read the call. Dr. +. B. Lawrence, of
El Dorado, was elected temporary chair
man by a unanimous vote. In assuming
his duties he made a speech in which he
said
"rhere are to-day convened in this
State three political elements. Not
three political parties, but simply three
elements Some of the leaders have
shown a disposition to kick over the
traces, but l think on second thought
their better judgment will dictate their

temporary secretary.
The committee on resolutions was as
follows: Webb McNall, Judge T. p.

Continuing, Governor Leedy said:

our promises. Maybe we haven't, but
want to say that the Republicans will
have no trouble In carrying out their
promises because they haven't made
any. We have adopted y platform with
many more pledges, and l promise you
that IL you elect me and these other
State officers we will faithfully cooper
ate to carry them out during the next
two years as we have co-Operated to
carry out the pledges made in our plat
form two years ago.

pitted against us everything that money
will buy. / want to impress on your
mind that this Is no Sunday school ex-
cursiOn we are going into. We will have

will take place at Town hall, Friday
evening. The class squads are busily

upon as possible winner this year,
while the juniors feel confident OF VIC
tory not only in the drill but in the track
events of the evening. The suspension
of a large portion of the class of 80 last
year, prevented that class from partici-

been adeq uately tested in inter-class COM

races will be hot and exciting. SO close
