While Mckinley with lip service
glorifies the memory of Washing
ton, he is engaged with all the force
of the nation at his command in
destroying the work Of Washing
toms life. Not only is he lending
his power and influence to the per-
version Of our time-honored pre-
cepts of equity toward the outside
world, but he is helping along the
subjugation of the American peo-
pie by merciless plutocracy-a
privileged class Of favorites under
government permanent aristoc-
racy. He is usurping the powers
of Congress and subverting free
institutions.-Los angeles Herald.

of it, but practically little wrong
would be done. 1t is the destruc
ton of the Just balance that the sin
gle taxer has discovered. Only
some men are permitted to take the
society values, while all men must
contribute of the fruit of their in
dustry to enrich society. The men
who must continuously give and
never receive are the poor and suf-
fering.
The single tax means the restora-
ton to society Of society's own.
Consequently there is no drain on
the individual. He is to be left in
full possession of ali that his labor
creates. Under such a dispensa-
ton both the government and the
governed would have all their
wants satisfied. Natures bounty
would be for all Those who pos
sessed nature or natural opportu-
nifty would have to pay society for
depriving other men Of their share
of the divine inheritance. This
equitable return to society is the
single tax. Its application to hu-
man governments would Danish en-
forced poverty. Those who wished
to labor would have direct access
to nature, the great storehouse of
supplies. The fruit of a mans la
Dor would be his own to satisfy all
his wants.
There is no reason why political
economy should not have great
and revolutionary discoveries like
other sciences. The self-satisfied
and the prosperous must cOncede
that this is not the best possible
world. While sorrow and suffer
ing disturb the peaceful calm of
life, there can be no rest to the
heart which is swayed by human
sympathy. We are made for each
other and no man can live to him
self. The single tax is the divine
law of our social being 1t is So
cial adjustment without friction; it
is social progress without peril or
pain. 1t opens to us vista of Gel
estial blessedness. 1t is Gods
come to ennOble and
beautify the earth.

DUKE AND BOER.

England has tried and condemned
the Beers before the court Of civil
lization on the ground that they
occupied land which they did not
develop, and that when others came
in who did develop the land the
Beers taxed them and gave them
no voice in the expenditure Of the
revenues they had produced. And
the general voice Of enlightened
men is that England has made out
a good case. Good or bad, it is,
at any rate, the case to which the
whole British nation is enthusias-
tically committed, and for which
it has thrown itself into the "hell
of war;"
The other day the Duke Of West
minister died, the richest man in
England. A great part Of his for
tune, we are told, "came from an
ancestor in the seventeenth century
having married a lady who owned
a farm of some 500 acres, on which
the wealthiest portion Of the West
End of London now stands. 1t is
estimated that the income is at least
$780, 900 year from this property
now, and as it has all been built
over upon the short-lease system,
the revenue within the next quarter
of a century may come to exceed
81, OOO,OOO."
The family of the Duke of West
minister did not make their money
from farming that 500 acres Of land ,
but from letting others build on it
and develop it. When the tenants
produced wealth the landlord taxed
them on it, and gave them no voice
in the disposition of the revenues.
Will some Englishman with a
turn for logic explain briefly the
difference between the position of
the Duke Of Westminster tenants
and that Of the Uitlanders under
Dom Paul Kruger, for the redress
Of whose grievances England is now
at wari-Er.

The Chicago Tribune of Sunday

The Chicago Tribune of Sunday
prints the following local account
of the doings of a brave and de
termined young woman:
"Through her own house, through
deserted streets and vacant lots fol
half a mile, and then into a strange
dwelling, Josephine Lahey chased
a burglar and captured him Yes.
terday morning the prisoner, who
gave his name as Louis Peers, was
held to the Criminal Court by JUS
tice Doyle. Miss Lahey, who lives
at 437 West Harrison street, was
alone in the house on Thursday
night when she heard a noise in
the hallway. Hurrying from the
room, she came face to face with
the intruder. He was in his stock
ing feet and carried bundle under
his arm. AT sight of the woman
he ordered her to reman quiet un-
der penalty of being killed, but in
stead she attacked him with a piece
! of wood. Peers looked about for
some avenue of escape and then
fed up the steps leading to the sec
ond floor. From room to room the
man fled, with his pursuer close be-
hind. Seeing she was gaining on
him, Peers jumped through an
open window. Then he turned to
laugh at her and saw her jump out
after him. Peers then took to his
heels and ran to a house in Van
Buren street, near Aberdeen. There
he tried to close the door, but the
determined young woman was too
quick. She placed her foot in the
way and managed to force an en-
trance into the dark hallway. He
turned upon her as she entered and,
catching her by the throat tried to
choke her. However, she struggled
fiercely, managed to open the door,
and attracted the attention of citi-
zens, who called Policeman Masse-
wich. To him Peers surrender

MANY SAD PARTlNGS.
copious Tears Flow When the Dread
Girls Part, Perhaps, Forever.

The graduating exercises at the
Dread Institute Wednesday, closed the
first school year of the institute, and
Thursday and yesterday the students
were busy in preparation for departure
to their various homes. By last eve
ming the last of the strangers in the
city had completed the preparations
and started for home, giving the big
school building a deserted and lone
some appearance.
The body of students at the institute
this year was in some respects remark
able, as 1t embraced a representative
from nearly every state in the Union.
The young ladies were appointees to
the school by the different governors
in the United States, and all came to
this city strangers. Because of this,
the students formed fond and fast
friendships that caused copious tears
to flow and severe strains on the heart
strings at parting. The intimate
friendships formed in many cases unit
ed girls from opposite sections of the
country, and graduation separated for
all time, perhaps, girls who have been
constantly together for year.
The residence of the students at the
school has been a pleasant one, large
ly through the kindly offices of Mrs.
school. The absence from parental
roofs has not been too keenly felt, as
Mrs. Higbee proved a universal mother
to all, and attended to the wants of her
students in a tender, sympathizing
manner. Mrs. Higbee has had as great
a success in her teaching as in her ma
ternal position. She has been actively
and prominently identified with the ed
ucational and social interests of the
city for a number of years. She was
active in the organization of the New
| Era cooking school, and in that con-
nection became known throughout the
country by her recipes and lectures on
domestic science
Interest in household and kindred
sciences has always been one of her
most pronounced characteristics, and
has led to the most thorough study and
research of all that could in any man
ner make her more proficient as stu
dent and teacher. She possesses to a
fine degree that best of all qualifica-
tons in a teacher, the faculty of i'm
parting knowledge to others. Her
knowledge of household science is in
no, wise confined to the surface, but her
special work during the past decade has
been to learn the facts that constitute
the fundamental principles Of the sci
ence. The formulation of a recipe and
It's successful demonstration, in which
she so thoroughly exce1s, do not make
up the sum total of her work as teacher
or principal. She has a well-defined
reason why one food substance is ac-
cepted and another rejected
The school will reopen Sept s, and
Mrs. Higbee will be in charge Of an
| other big class.

MAKE A CAPTURE.
It Is Probable That a No
torious Hen Thief Is
Under Arrest.

Roy Hall of Sutton, a man with a
long record for petty thieving, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on Waldo
street by Inspectors Stone and Fisher,
on suspicion of being a man who has
looted almost every hencoop in Wor-
cester county
Complaints have been lodged with
the police by Worcester county farm
ers who have lost chickens, and the po-
lice have been laying low for the thief.
Late at night a suspicious looking rig,
made UP of a skinny bay horse and a
democrat wagon, has been seen on va
rious country roads.
The case was put into the hands of
Inspector Stone, and for several days
he has been on the lookout for the
skinny bay horse. Yesterday after
noon, as he was walking back from
dinner to station /, the inspector saw
the team in front of the Waldo House
with a good load of chickens aboard.
He stepped into the station and called
Inspector Fisher out. Hall had sue
ceeded in disposing of several chickens
in the Waldo House, as the proprietor
did not suspect anything was wrong,
and was returning for second load
when he was nabbed by the inspectors.
At the station, when being booked
he gave his name as Edward L. Hall
and his home as Sutton, but later ad-
| mitted that his name was Roy Hail. In
a bag in the team were found IA chick
ems with their necks wrung. Some OF
| them still had feathers on, and on in
vestigation it was learned that Hal
had been at the Public Market, or
| Front street, and had succeeded in dis
posing of a considerable number. AL
| together he has succeeded in disposing
| of 165 pounds of fowl during the day.

RISE IN PRICE OF COAL.

The wholesale coal dealers here have
raised the price rs cents a ton begin
ming with last Wednesday. The price
on anthracite may go up so cents a ton.
In Boston and other New England
cities new schedule went into effect
Yesterday morning, anthracite coal
selling for $3.50, $4.75 or So according as
1t was broken, egg, or stove coal.
The traffic rates have remained tie
same. but the increase in wholesale
coal prices is said to be due to the
reported activity of the Vanderbilts
and their efforts to secure control of
the Boston and Almany railroad.
The local men say that the increase
in Boston and other New England
cities has been the result of local
fights, but in this case the coal would
be sold at a smaller figure rather than
at a higher.
