VOTE OF DELAwA1E
Official Count May Give Legislature
to Democrats.

Wilmington. Del, Nov. s.-UnomciaI
returns of the election in Delaware to-
day show the total vote to be:
Bryan 17,S48; Mckinley 21S6I Nc
Kinley's plurality 4O13.
While the official count may change
these figures, it will make no difference
in the result.
Alexander NJ. Daily, Democratic nom
inee for congress, ran about a thousand
ahead of the Bryan electoral ticket.
There is great interest in the official
count of today as there is a proba bility
of the count changing the complexion
of the legislature from Republican to
Democratic. The count began at 10
o'clock this mornin~ and will occupy all
day and possibly run over into tomor-
row.

MR. ALGER TALKS.

MT, Alger, ex-secretary of War, thinks he has kept still long enough about canned and embalmed beef, and he has relieved his mind in state ment in which he defends General Eagan, and does not defend General Miles. Indeed, he does his best to make it appear that General Miles conduct wasn't defensible.
 Perhaps the real truth of the matter will never be made plain, MT. Alger's statement doesn't shed much light upon it. We suppose there will be more statements, and more warm talk, and it may in the end appear that mo- body was responsible for any of the mistakes made in the Spanish war. At least, it is not probable that any of the distinguished disputers will acknowl- edge that he was.

4 NEED ED CATALOGUE.

A plan for meeting long felt want has been made by the Council or the h. ternational Catalogue of Scientific Lit erature, which has been meeting in London. A perfect organization has been effected and all arrangements made for the beginning of work on attended by representatives of Austria, Canada, Cape Colony Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Natal, New Zealand, New South Wales, Norway, Queensland, Sweden, Switzer- land, the United Kingdom, the United States, Western Australia, South Aus tralla Victoria, and Portugal, whose cooperation may therefore be regarded as assured. The catalogue will at first be issued in annual volumes, but it's form and rate of production will neces- sarily be governed to great extent by financial considerations. The respon-
 
 sibility for publication and for the in- itial expenditure is undertaken by the Royal Society, and the central bu- reau will be in London, while regional bureaus in correspondence with it will be established in all the countries talk ing part in the undertaking. A conn prehensive and elaborate system of classification has been devised with the assent of all the countries interested. This uniformity in a region where di- versity of perplexing kind has hith- erto prevailed will be a great boon to scientific workers everywhere, IL is expected that the scheme will gradually be adopted in all collections of scien- tific works.

I'll F SINGLE T.IX.
Correspondence of "Freelom."

Correspondence of "FreehOm.v) | How do I feel about single tax? I be- l lieve as much as ever in it's justice, and
 look forward to the time when all nat
 ural opportunities will be free. For
 years I was one of the most enthusiasts
 tic singletax cranks at large. I believe in it still, but I have come 10 the con- clusion that l read but one side of the sign.
 You no doubt have heard the story of the two men who got into an argument over the wording of the sign. One claimed it read so and so, and the other insisted that it read thus and so. Af- ter a heated argument, it was discov- cred they both were right, and both were also wrong, for they had read op- posite sides of the same sign.
 MT. Henry George saw the sign and said, Labor produces everything. La bor is the creator of all wealth, and should receive a larger share of the thing created Labor is robbed. We must make land free. We must open up opportunities" l agree with him, but there is another side 10 the sign Others saw not only this, but much be- sides. The other side reads something like this: Everything that exists in the material world was first produced in the thought world. Thought not la bor, is the great creator of wealth. Thoughts are things Thoughts are forces. Thoughts are magnets, and like attracts like. Labor without thought never created anything. Opportunities lie thick about us if we had but the wit to see them and the courage to grasp them" This is the opposite side of the sign. The truth doubtless lies some- where between these two statements
 I used to agree fully with MT. George that labor is the creator of all wealth now I qualify it by saying-intelligent labor creates, or intelligence and labor create all wealth. The thought is often the product of the brain of one man. while labor is performed by another One plans, the other executes. If ane man can both plan Chat is, think and execute (that is, labor) he reapSs the | whole reward, less rent and taxes. If | he labors only (the horse can do that) |

the man who sold his farm and went to a foreign country to hunt for diamonds. After he was gone it was found that the spring from which he drank daily was filled with the precious stones he had gone to hunt: that his birthplace was literally filled with diamonds. Perhaps, too, you have heard of the young geol- ogist who sold his home and went west to prospect for precious metals In passing out of the gateway of his yard he placed his hand on a stone rich with the very ore he traveled so far to find.
 What has all this to do with the sin gle tax, you ask? Nothing except this: We may advocate the single tax, gov- ernment ownership, monetary reform and everything else desira ble in the way of legislation. We will never get any of them until We can make people think, and if we secured them all, they would fall to equalize conditions so long as some men think and others do not. I still believe in Henry Georges side of the sign. The other side has been read by Helen Wilmans, Prentice Mulford. Lillian Whiting Professor Weltmer and others. Beside Progress and Poverty place Conquest of Poverty" and si1ni- lar writings, and I endeavor to keep in the middle of the road.

THAT LITTLE BILL.

It doth not appear that Turkey has yet paid that little bill, but it is sol emnly asserted that the State depart ment has had nothing whatever to do with the deal which has been made by the Cramps with the Turkish govern ment for the inclusion of the amount of indemnity claims in the price to be paid for warship by the Turkish govern ment. However, it does know that such contract has been made, and it also has had promises from the Turkish govern ment that the claims shall be paid. It is also solemnly said that if the money comes through the Cramps it will be accepted, as the State department rec ognizes the right of the Porte to select any messenger it may choose to trans init the money All that is necessary to make the transaction proper is that the fact shall clearly appear on the rec ords that the money is paid by the Tur kish government to the government of the United States.
 This is sensible. If Turkey should happen to be willing to pay there wouldn't be much profit in being too particular about the mode of payment. Let the money come, and let 1t come quickly

KANSAS CITY,S PROGRESS.

It takes a western city to swell with
 pride. Kansas City is now so swelling, and all on account of her financial greatness. For the week ended Decem-
 Der 20, the bank clearings of Kansas
 City aggregated s2O,12S,626, placing her
 ninth in the list of cities. The only
 cities with larger clearings are New
 York Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
 St. Louis, Pittsburg, Baltimore, and San Francisco. all of which are much greater in population. Following Kan sas City in the column are New Orleans, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Louisville, Detroit, Indianapolis, etc. Kansas City's clearings show a gain of 42 per cent. as compared with those of the corresponding week of last year. nearly double the increase of the next most progressive of the large cities. New York, Chicago and Boston all show slight losses, while the gain for all the cities reported averages but one-tenth of per cent.
 Good eor Kansas City. It wasn't so very long ago that Kansas City was a rather gloomy place in a business way, and it is not yet as cheering to some eastern investors as they would like to have it. But it is evidently gaining in power and prosperity.

A ChinAman in San Francisco, says a gossiper in the Philadelphia Rec ord, Showed me an ivory ball as big as your two fists, with six smaller balls inside of it. It was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said that the balls had been begun by his grandfather, and that he was the third generation to work on them. He told me how the work was done. It begins with a solid block Of ivory, which is turned into a ball, and then carved in a knives. Through the lattice, with other knives that are bent in various shapes, the second ball is carved, but is kept fast to the first one by a thin strip of ivory left at the top, and by another left at the bottom. Then the third ball. with still finer knives, is tackled through the first and second ones, and so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips that hold them firm are cut away, and they all revolve freely one inside the other This Chinaman said it was a common thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years--grandfather, fa- ther, son and grandson working on them when they had nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some cheap balls are made of vegetable ivory, being carved while the material is soft, like a potato These, though, are not worth more than few dollars at the most.'

Magistrate Strohreker of Red Top, South Carolina, bids fair to acquire a wide reputation because of his order that all negroes living at that place shall marry. The community is said to be notoriously lax in it's moral code, and the magistrate thinks that there will be an improvement if there is more matrimony and less of the old order of things. But perhaps some of Magistrate Strohreker's subjects wont mind him.
