II Does Not Please.

Anent the return OF the first warrior
Of the land from his tour Of the mill
tary camps Of Europe, the eyer-recur-
ring chances of war with Spain, the
waving OF the CORY garment by the
acting manager of the navy at every
opportunity, and not forgetting the ner-
vous agitation OF certain moneyed gem
tlemen. Familiarity known as the bulls
and bears Of Wall street, it Is well to
understand just where the working
people of this great country stand, ard
II may be just as well to state right In
the beginning Of the chapter that they
are not for war.
Not that they are afraid to meet
their enemies on the field OF battle, but
rather that they do not understand the
sense Of killing each other for the pur-
pose Of building martial regulations
for several gentlemen of more or less
bellicose inclination, who think more
OF military display than OF the general
welfare Of the people.
The working people of this country
are ready to be at peace with all the
world, and better than that, they are
ready to inaugurate that peace by
friendly relations at home and between
their employers and themselves.
There appears to be an idea tray-
cling through the minds OF certain
statesmen that 1t is the most pleasing
performance of their legislative career
to, as they like to put II, twist the
lions tall for the pleasure of a few
patriotic constituents who like to open
old wounds for the senseIess and NOR
bid pleasure there Is to be found In the
action; but the same statesmen have
forgotten that the educated, intelligent
workmen do not enjoy such an exhibit
ton OF iingoism. They forget that the
workmen of this country have pro-
crossed along lines OF thought that lead
them to understand that war and mill
tarism are the greatest curses to in
dustrialism, and In consequence of that
line OF thought the workers, particu-
larry the organized workers, are bound
together by tie Of common sympathy
that rebels at the idea of slaughter.
It must be admitted that there are a.
few iII-advised, so styled patriots who
believe that an expression against
England Is just about the right thing;
but the great body of Americas work
ers repudiate any ill-advised and un-
necessary exhibitions of ill-will on the
part Of our w-makers.-RaiIroa

Clever Little Trick.
There are callings and callings open
to both men and women by which they
can gain a livelihood. but when II
comes 20 the "old confidence game" as
a means of living the men must step
back and take of their hats TO the
women. says the Louisville CONNER
cial. To be sure. there are not as many
women up to this racket" as there
are men. but those who are knowing
ones are geniuses at the business. They
could make u killing where nine .'eon"
men out OF ten would have to either
starve or work honestly for living.
It was not long ago that this was
most powerfully illustrated, and to the
sorrow of clerk in the linen depart
ment OF Market street firm. A well
known matron who lives In the fash
ionable portion OF the city is the her
oine Of this tragedy. She was out for
what she could get, and incidentally
wished 10 purchase a tableeloth. She
entered the house Of the firm and, go
ing to the linen department. asked the
clerk what y certain tablecloth which
was In the stock was worth. He
priced them for her at 50.
This did not suit at all and after
an argument OF some minutes she
finally persuaded him to sell the tab
lecloth for $3.50. When she had got
the poor clerk 10 this stage she had
him just where she wanted him. She
looked the tablecloth over once more
and then remarked that she could get
a tablecloth at another place for the
same price.
The clerk, feeling "sore" because he
had allowed woman TO beat him
down, replied:
We'll. II you can. I'll give you this
cloth"
you VIM" she answered eagerly.
All right. Just walt here a minute. !"
She left the store and. going to the
other place. asked the head clerk 10
show her tableeioth OF the kind she
had seen at the other store. X was
priced at So. but this did not daunt her.
She said:
They tell me over at So-and-So's
that II you let me have a ,ablecloth
like this for $3.50 they viii give me
one"
on course. the clerk Immediately let
her have one for 5250. Taking the
ticket and the cloth. she returned 10
the clerk.
There" she said. showing Ii 10 him.
Il got II for $3.50.
No proof was wanting 10 convince
the clerk that she had got IL at tina,
price, so he gave her the cloth and
charged himself with Ii.
Then this lady returned with the
purchased cloth to the other place and
got credit on It. after which she went
on her way rejoicing. Just one So table.

Henry George. Rs,er,.

The late Henry George had a special
gift In the rejoinder as a weapon In
argument. After his addresses on his
land tax theory he always invited his
hearers to ask questions, which he de-
lighted on answering. In 1883, after a
lecture at Howard university In Wash
ington, western congressman, accept
ing the invitation. said:
After all. Mr.. George. you advocate
a system OF confiscation OF property.
IL I should take wild land and culti-
vate and beautify II, would have won
undisputed title to the land itself. and
you should recognize my proprietor
ship In It,"
This sally won loud applause from
the audience. but the applause was
deafening when Mr.. George had flung
back this reply:
Il thought I had explained that ALI
improvements ought by right to be-
long TO the improver. On that we
agree. | go farther All that you pro-
duce out Of the land by your labor
should belong to you. III I should see
you sitting on the seashore fishing. and
should see you catch large fish. or.
In other words, bring forth or produce
that fish, ! should maintain your right
to 1t as your property. to use, to sell.
to give or bequeath: but I'll be hang
ed, sir, II Ill agree that you own the
ocean from which you produce that
fish. Land stands In the same relation

TIE dogs in the United States kill
nearly per cent of the sheep of the
country every year. They killed more
than 100000 sheep in the year ending
June /, 1880, when the last statistics in
regard to the focks were gathered.
The damage done by them is greater
than that from any other cause except
unexpected ntorms, in which whole
focks of sheep are killed. and disease.
In six states more damage was done
to the fiocks Of sheep by dogs than
by anything else. In Florida 1888
sheep were killed by dogs, and only
ALSO by the weather and disease. The
number killed by dogs was about 8
per cent of the total number OF sheep
in the state. The Florida sheep are
not exposed TO such changes In tenn
vada, where 12s,S50 died Of cold and
disease. Only 1872 sheep were killed
by dogs in Nevada in the census year.
The enormous number OF deaths from
changes in the weather was due to
unprecedented storms, which caught
the breeders unprepared and almost
halyed their fiocks. In South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Arkansas dogs do more damage to the
sheep than anything else, and more
than weather conditions and disease
combined. In Massachusetts,. Rhode
Island and Connecticut the number OF
deaths in the fiocks due to dogs Is al
most the same as that due to disease
and the weather. The record Is al
most as bad in all other states where
dogs and sheep are caught.
