The fact thnt Henry George, a cele

era, irrespective of % political parties,
as their standard-bearer for the mayor

We may yet live to sec a conflict in
America between the capitalists on
one aide and Organized labor on the
other. But wc shudder at such sn
outlook and tremble for the better
protection of all rlsssoa when, mob
luw asserts its sway. We know that
no legislation can increase the wages
of any man, nor can governments in
terfere, legally, with the law of yon*
tracts. Every man haa a right to work
for whatever wages he can get, aud
no laxly of men, whether capitalists or
laborers, have a right to deny any in
dividual that iuherent privilege. Tffore
should be, under a wise administration
of government, a happy medium be

Thk once-slumbering town of Fay

place. From differ* nt portions of the
State comes the prediction that she
