Barnes, Sec retary of the Land and Labor Organ I catlon The Working me-n lentre to Capture the Fifty-first Congress and Let the Presidency Alone. New York, Dec. 22. Henry (reorge will never be a candidate for any office again. Gaybert 8. Barnes, secretary of the Land and Labor organization and a close per sonal friend of Mr. George, ii the authority for this statement. A few davs ago Mr. Barnes received a letter from S. L. Doug lass, of Indianapolis, secretary of the Indus trial anion, notifying him that a reform con vention was to be held in Cincinnati Feb. 22, 18h7. to which Henry George men. Knights of Labor, Grangers, Greenbackers, Anti- Monopolifcts, trades unionists, and soldiers were invited to send delegates. Among the names of the committee having the matter in charge was that of 8. B. Heath, of Chi cago. Monday Mr. Barnes received a special circular setting forth the reasons why the land and labor organization could not take part in the convention. He said : "I notice that B. 8. Heath of Chicago is chairman of your committee, and so far as I can learn he is one of the most earnest and unwearying workers in the labor cause. My attention has been directed to a recent edi torial in which, under the caption 'Disguised Democracy; a New York Labor Scheme,' be says that a 'clique of ISew iork politicians has seized upon the George vote;' that (.lov er nor Hill and Henry George are its figure beads; that we have good ground for believ ing this side-show to be a Democratic scheme to regain control of the George vote;' and finally that ours 'is a work intended simply to gratify the ambition of a few New York professional politi.'ians or to save the wreck of a corrupt old partv. 1 Now it is difficult to see how, with anv shadow of self-respect. men thus stigmatized could, even if author ized, take any part in a movement wnose of ficial head holds regarding tbein such lan guage as 1 have quoted. ' 'borne of these western people imagine this is an eastern movement. Lst mo say that it is well organized even in Mr. Doug las own city. Tbe committee which has been intrusted with the initial work does not propose to force a platform or a party name on the land and labor clubs when they held a convention. I do not know when they will meet in convention. The sooner our conven tion is held the better. Many of our warm est friends think tnat it will not be wise to ( nominate a national ticket in ISS8. We want to capture the Fifty-first congress, and to that end we shall bend all our energies." DEFIED THE ORDER. A Cincinnati Tenor Who Consider Bis Family Before His Church. Cincinnati, Dec. 22. The circular order Irom A rcb bishop Elder forbidding Catholic singers from singing in Protestant or Jewish choirs has attracted great attention in local musical circles, among which are many Catholics. In one case at least the order has been squarely dc fiVd, and the example once set is expected to he followed by many others. Henry "VViileke, a tenor, who for years has sung in St. XavierV Catholic) choir and in the Jewish Mound Street temple, has determined to resign his place at the former and keep his seat in the latter. He says that he always has been and yet re mains a devout Catholic and was much troubled about the order. He visited the archbishop, who gave him only evasive re plies to his inquiries as to what would be done to those disobeying the order. But AViileke is a poor man with a large family, and the pay from tbe Jewish choir is a most material addition to bis income, so he has conscientiously concluded that his duty to ward his family is uppermost, and be will sing his defiance of ecclesiastical shackles. Sow that so conspicuous a break has been made it is expected that VViileke will have plenty of company. Fruitless Search for a Brother. New York, Dec. 22. Mr. Tborndike Nourse arrived in this city Monday after spending many months in Europe, vainly searcning for some explanation of the dis appearance of his brother, Frederick R. bourse, treasurer of the Oregon Navigation company. The latter gentleman left a Lon don hotel March 3, supposedly 'f or Liverpool to take a steamer for New York. He was never beard from afterward, but his brother has learned that he left tbe railway at C reive station with a stranger. The family have given up all hope in the matter. Mr. Nourse complains of tbe carelessness in England re garding identification of bodies of unknown dead. Ngrps Excited. New York, Dec 22.

Tbe students, on the whole, seem to have en joyed their work and are now looking forward witb pleasure to a vacation. At an enthusiastic meeting held on Tuesday last in tbe interest of the college, all have resolved to make an earnest effort during vacation to awaken an interest among the people in behalf of their alma mater. It need no longer be concealed from the public that tbe institution needs encour- eement m some tangible form, loe erection of tbe new building has been a severe drain on our finances, and that longed-for event when we Shall have tbe privilege of bidding farewell to our pres ent narrow quarters and of occupying more spacious and more pleasant apart merits, seems indefinitely postponed for want of funds. The princely gift of Hon. P. L. Cable has saved us from being helplessly embarrassed for many years, but It did not kindle tbat interest and enthusiasm among our friends wbicb we had expected; on the contrary, it seemed to make the gifts from other quarters less frequent and less generous, A very common inference, and one tbat has proved detrimental to our interests, has been tbat bis gilt at onced placed tbe college beyond the need of any addi tional funds. Dear friends of education: while true to our generous American interests, you are seeking to make others happy in this Christmas season, do not think it pre' sumptous if we ask you to remember our dear Augustana college, and to make an offering to tbe cause of education by helping her in ber present hour ot need. The above has been sent to the Arocs for publication, and the appeal for pecu niary aid thus made, should not be un heeded by those of our citizens who are able to encourage an institution which is an hoi. or to tbe city and community.
