A more dramatic ending of the life
of a public character and political re-
former could hardly be invented bv
the novelist than the death of Henry
George four days before the great
municipal election in New York. 1t
was the sober tribute of the whole
community that he had laid down his
life for the well-being of his fellow
men, and men of wealth and enyied
station We'd with w%orkingmen in
speaking his praise and showing hon
or to his memory. Yet some years
ago., when his we'll known work,
Progress and Poverty" was the text
book of an active propaganda in favor
of the naturalization of land, it was
customary to denounce Henry George
as the prophet and apostle of the most
immoral and dishonest crusade against
established rights and institutions
that had been seriously undertaken in
modern times. How has it come about
that a writer who was then so COM
monty reprobated as a charlatan
should now be treated as a lofty nat
riot, a moral hero, a true philanthrop-
list, a prophet of Righteousness and al
most as a saint to be reverenced? ONLY
one explanation can satisfy all the
facts. Well may we ask, will the an
archists of today be the defenders of
our country's honor tomorrow?

Cooperative Hog Killing.

The farmers of Maine have circum-
vented the beef trust, says Iowa State
Register. They have organized 1000
1resh pork and fresh beef clubs in that
state, each club composed of ten mem.
bers. Instead of buying their fresh
meats from the trust and paying trib-
ute to it they provide themselves with
such seasonable delicacies. The ten
farmers belonging to a club arrange for
a succession of butcheries. That is. a
hog is killed every SO many days dur
ing the winter season and the fresh
pork is divided into ten parts, each
family getting one part. This does not
include the hams and other portions OF
the animal which are sailed or picked
for future use. The arrangement
amounts to a cooperative meat shop.
The farmers lose nothing and they get
fresh pork all the time. The Maine
idea may spread to other states. It Is
something Of an outrage hat our hogs
should be sent to Chicago to be butch
cred and then sent back to be eaten.
1t follows as the night does the day
that the consumer must pay for the
freight both ways, or else the hog
grower pays it, and there is beside the
expense of handling the hog and the
meat in Chicago. Various ways have
been suggested to get rid of such an
industrial loss and folly, but the Maine
way seems to be a solution as far as the
farmers themselves are concerned.

Our neighbor likewise declares that the
Intelligencer is untruthful when II says
of hypocrisy in his speeches in the south;
that on the contrary, it highly praised
the President on the noble sentiments ne
uttered in the South. '-lntelllgencer.
This is another instance in which
our tricky friend of Fourteenth
street garbles what it does not suit
its purpose to honestly quote. The
Register did not state that it highly
praised the President on the noble SEN
timents he uttered" etc. 1t stated the
truth that it praised the noble senti-
ments uttered by the President, which
is distinction the organ should keep
in mind, although it will not help es-
tablish it's asinine assertion that
the Register charged the President
with hypocrisy in his Southern
speeches. We could hardly accuse the
President of being on level with
the organ of Fourteenth street.
The organ goes on to say that the
Register separated the sentiment from
the Presidents own personality long
enough to remark that the speech was
polite and make the declaration that
the South will demand something
more substantial before it confdes in
the good faith and honor of Republican
leaders,
In this, strange to say, the Intelli-
gencer tells the exact truth And for
a wonder the same organ neglects to
garble the following from the Register
of last Friday:
Unfortunately the Presidents action
toward the South-his appointments of
negro politicians over WhiteSzdo not
agree with his conciiatory utterances."
These are the Registers sentiments
and it still holds them Maybe our
neighbor will stop bearing false wit
ness against the Register long enough
to indicate. in view of the notorious
facts of the case, what is wrong with
them.

MIR. McKINLEY's POLICY I"

In one of his Southern speeches the
President said: 1T is not a question
of keeping these eastern islands, but of
leaving them"
This is the nearest Mr.. Mckinley has
yet come to defining his views on this
subject, and it may be interpreted to
suit any side of the question and
means absolutely nothing so far as in
dicating anything like a policy is con-
cerned
Evidently the President himself has
no policy, nor any well defined views
on the subject. But there is no doubt
about the policy of those who control
his administration-the Hannas, the
Elkinses, ct al, and their Wall street
connections. tt is Imperialism, pure
and simple, and has been so announc-
ed by at least one member of the Pre-
sident's cabinet, Secretary Wilson, who
was indiscreet enough to give it out
as the policy of the administration.
1t matters not, however, what Mr..
Mckinley may say at present The
man who could renounce all his former
convictions in favor of silver and come
out fiat footed on a single gold stand
ard platform, will not be bothered by
such little thing as altering his views
in this case to fit any emergency that
may arise.

political corporation that so long has
