although Populist, makes the follow
ing sensible suggestions, says the
Commomer: "Is is my opinion that
all should get in and support the
Democratic party. That's what we
did do when we voted for Bryan and
don't see why we can't still do so.
wish some wise Populist would tell
me why Populists shouldn't support
the Chicago platform. The only
fault / found with it was it was too
must Populist. AS / understand it,
the Populist party was organized

A MEMORIAL FUND.
For the Relief of the Widow of
Henry George.

hl y N~oi6
The sudden death of Henry George,
which was directly caused by his self
sacrificing exertions in an earnest and
unselfsh effort to serve the interests of
the people, has given rise to general
desire that some memorial subscrip-
ton should be raised, in token OF pub
lie sympathy and appreciation. This
feeling is shared quite as fully by
those who differed from Mr.. George in
his views, as by those who agreed with
him.
The life OF Henry George was de-
voted absolutely and without reserve
to the service of mankind. He not
only sought nothing for himself, but
deliberately sacrificed every chance for
personal profit, for the sake of the
highest good OF his fellow men. 1t
was universally recognized that, in
standing as candidate for an impor-
tant Office, his motives were entirely
disinterested, without thought for his
own profit or fame. Such lives are so
rare as to deserve the fullest recogni-
ton and the highest honor.
No memorial to Henry George could
be at once more grateful to him and
more satisfactory to all who recognize
his worth, than a provision made by
public subscription to put his widow
in such a position of comfort as she
would undoubtedly have enjoyed had
her husband devoted his genius, and
his wonderful power as a writer, to the
benefit of his own family, instead of to
the benefit OF humanity. Therefore,
at the request of many friends and ad-
mirers of Mr.. George, the undersigned
have consented to act as committee
to receive public subscriptions for a
memorial to him. These subscrip-
tions, to such extent as may be neces-
sary to secure for Mrs. George salts
factory support for the remainder Of
her life, will be used solely for that
purpose. The surplus beyond that
amount will be used in providing such
permanent memorial as, in the judg.
ment of the committee acting for the
subscribers, will be most suitable.
WILLIAM L. STRONG,
Chairman.
The above circular has been re.
ceived from the Henry George Memoir
lal Fund Committee, and at the last
meeting of the local Single Tax Club,
it was decided that the club should
proceed to solicit subscriptions for said
fund.
The club therefore requests that
all who desire to contribute toward
this fund send any amount from five
cents and upwards to Mr.. A. L. Cal
low, Secretary of the club.

IT must be confessed that swearing
is altogether too common, both in fic-
sion and on the stage, says the New
York Sun. As it grows less common
among well-bred and civilized men it
seems to thrive on the lips of the
heroes and Williams of novels and
plays. 1t takes an artist, and great
artist, to use profanity and even
slang, and the more sparingly he uses
it the better will be the effect. There
is a so-called realism which is merely
repulsive.

that three years after Burdette lectured
in Kansas City. Half way through
his lecture he saw one of the men who
had entertained him at Amherst. He
told the story of that experience in n
pathetic fashion. After the lecture
the Amherst man went up and shook
hands with him.
"Why did you make me the scape-
goat for that excise case? asked Bur-
dette, with an appreciative grin.
"' 1t was because we found, after
comparing notes, that every story you
told us that night was DID, was the

"'That simply aggravated the offense

ton was turned. So far rs l know,
