LAND OWNERSHIP.

In explanation of his views with regard
p, HENRY GEORGES land tenets, Mr..
.MALLEY draws the distinction between
ae English conditions and our own respect
g landed property. He shows very
,arly that the principle which would
apply to land ownership in Great Britain
would find no app LEGATION here. There are
harsh featur in the British system of land
proprietorship which render it obnoxious.
The abuses which grow out of it render it
intolerable to the tenantry. So that when
Mr.. GEORGE breaches his peculiar land
doctrine to the masses of England and Ire
land he finds a sympathetic audience. 1t
is not so here. Instead of divesting people
of their property in land in this country the
true policy is to encourage more of them to
acquire landed estates. If every American
citizen was the lee simple owner of his own
home it would be the greatest blessing that
could be conferred on the nation. And if
Mr.. GEORGES wild scheme for abol-
ishng private land titles and plac-
ing the entire domain under the
control of the government should
ever prevail, the wisest thing the govern
ment could possibly do would be to turn
right around and allot the land to its citi-
zens in severalty. to be held by them and
their heirs forever, The man who feels
that he is the lawful owner of the soil on
which he stands-that he is its rightful and
absolute owner-that it is all his from the
center of the earth TO the sky above him. no
matter how small parcel it may be- is in
spired with a sense of patriotism and
national pride that cannot be derived from
any source. 1t gives to him sense of the
dignity of the sovereignty of citizenship
that nothing else can give. 1t creates a
bond to unite his individual interests with
the public welfare that nothing can sever.
However desirable it may be to abolish
private land titles in Great Britain. the
policy that this nation wants to pursue is
to get its lands into the hands of its
citizens.

Atlanta Constitution.
The practical joke that he played on e. V.
Smalley, the newspaper correspondent. was
characteristic. 1t was tremendous joke in
its way, and it gave a color to everything
that Smalley afterwards wrote about the
South. The occurrence has already been
related in these columns, but it is worth
allur in to here if only to recall to mind the
colossal prank.
Smaey was sent South by some Northern
newspaper, probably the New York Tribune
and he went to Washington-Wilkes for the
purpose of having an interview with Gen.
Toombs. He stopped at the hotel but Gen.
ToOmbs took him IN charge and forced on
him every attention that the most lavish
hospitality could suggest Smalley was more
than charmed. He has recorded his i'm
pressions of his visit to Gen. TOombs, and
my recollection is that he paid the highest
possible tribute to his hosts wonderful
powers of conversation. During Smalley's
stay, he happened to mention the ku
klux khan. Instantly Gen. ToOmbs turned
to him with gesture and tone of most
seriousimpOrt.
"My dear SIR he said,' am glad you have
mentioned this. 1t has been on my mind,
but hardly knew how to approach the SUBJ
ject Your allusion relieves me-"
Thereupon Gen. Toombs proceeded to in-
form Smaley that the ku-kluX controlled that
entire region, and was most powerful Or
SANITATION. "They have had your visit here
under discussion he went on, land I am
expecting visit every moment from the
grand cyclops."
1.-THE ''grand cyclops" came at last in the
person of a meek-eyed little Hebrew, the pro-
prietor of dry goods store, who TJombs had
sent for. There was much conversation, but,
so far as Smalley could see, no aluson to the
ku-klux. Finally, when Franklin rose to go,
Gen. Toombs followed him out into the hall,
and stayed talking with him there for some
time. When the general cnme back into the
parlor there was yer serious expression on
his face. He walked back and forth and then
sat down near Smalley.
''That man." he said ''is under obligations
to ne, but he absolutely refuses to give you
a pass out of this town. There is but one
way OUT the general went on, "you must
take my carriage and drive through the couu-
try to the railroad. and then get away as best
you can The carriage was ordered, and
Smalley drove away, aud TO this day he is
unable to appreciate the colossal proportions
of the joke of which he was the victim.

COSTLY VERBOsITY.

The old-time proverb, "talk is cheap be-
cause words cost nothing" is losing ground
under the effect of DAVID DUDLEY
FIELDS crusade against legal verbosity.
The eminent New Y ork lawyer has demon
strated that the people of New York pay
annually over 500, 600 for recording sur
plus words in mortgages. This is perhaps
startling revelation to great many
people, yet if that great sum is annually
wasted on useless verbosity in mortgages in
one city. who can estimate the total loss in
the whole country on everything in which
surplus words are used? 1t is not out of
the way to say that a saving in this respect
would, in very short time. amass a sum
sufficient to pay the national debt. If a
verbose reform could only be applied to
congress, what national blessing it would

ROYAL ASPIRATIONS.

In this age of organization, when all
great questions are discussed and settled in
convention, there is no reason why. in adj
dition TO the adjustment of religious, politi.
cal and social issues. matters of etiquette
may not be determined by the same method.
An Illustration of how far the convention
mania has gained an Influence in American
circles was recently given by the leaders of
female society at the national capital. A
convention. to be composed of the wives of
cabinet ministers and the wives of all the
subordinate executive officials. was called
the other day, TO be held at the residence
of one of the most prominent citizens of
the city. The cali was responded to, and
the spacious parloTs were well filled with
ladies whose names are household words in
this country. When the convention had
been called TO order, and a temporary or
ganization effected. the object of the meet
ing was explained by the presiding lady to
be to settle once and forever among them
selves the question of the right of Success
sion to the position of first lady of the land.
It was furthermore explained that this ac-
ton was Iecessitated by the change in the
law regarding the presidential succession.
The new law imposes upon cabinet
ministers successfully the honor of filling
the executive chair in the event of the death
of the president. 1t was thought wise to
bring the social code of the national city
into harmony with the federal laws. And
It was furthermore deemed tic be wisdom, in
rider to avert the danger of social out
leaks and revolutions in the future, that
he women of state should assemble in con-
ention and determine among themselves,
1 advance of any such possible compIica-
ons. upon what laws should govern Ameri-
an society in respect to this matter The
sderal law provides that the secretary of
tate shall be the first in succession to the
residential Office. and that the secretary of
ne treasury shall DE second. In the event of
be death of the president it might occur as
1t would now if Secretary BAYARD should
step into the White house. thai the sec
rotary Of state would be an unmarried man.
Then the question would arise whether the
wife of the assistant secretary of state or
the wife of the secretary of the treasury,
who Is next in the line of succession. would
be the rightful heir to soclety's throne. 1t
would be "a complicated affair." with so many
equities on either side, and the danger of a
bitter partisan rivalry springing up between
the friends of the respective claimants
to the throne is SO great it was
deemed wisest to unravel the prob
lem i'll advance of its occurrence.
This is only one illustration of the
many complications that are liable to occur.
But the trouble in the convention was in
getting the women assembled to assent to
any sort of a compromise. Each possible
claimant was just as tenacious of her pros
pective power as if it was just in grasp.
The convention had to adjourn without
formulating a social code, and the country
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-12-20

will have to take chances on future civil
war growing out of the conflicting claims to
society's throne at the national capitol.
There is one feature. however. which
this convention of cabinet wives seemed to
have overlooked. 1t is the fact that the
cabinet officers are not rulers. They are
only public servants. And it is not be-
coming in the wives of servants to be quar-
reling over the question of supremacy in
the mansion. Under our American insti-
tutions there is only one place where
woman is entitled to queenly privileges.
That is in her own home. where she has
the right of undisputed sway, and can set
tie all questions of social precedence and
succession according to her individual
notions. But when she gets beyond the
limits of her rightful domain and asserts a
claim of royalty. she only subjects herself
to merited ridicule.

While this policy may please the president
it will not please the people of the territory,
who are entitled to some consideration for
the cordial endorsement they gave the ad-
ministration last November by nearly 1905
majority in favor of the return of our Demo
cratic delegate to congress and the election
of Democratic legislature on joint ballot.
1t is Il clear violation of the plank in the plat
form which pledged that territorial nomina-
tons should be selected from among its own
citizens, policy which had heretofore pre-
vailed here under this admin Stration for the
first time in the history of Montana.
InaSmuch as we could not have Maj.
Maginnls, or some other representative Mon
tanian, to succeed Gov. Hauser, we NAV well
be pleased with the wisdom of the presidents
choice. Gov. Leslie is an able man and will
do credit to the high Office TO which he has
been called as the executive head Ct this
great and growing territory, an infinitely
larger fl Id than he occupied when he was
governor of Kentucky. Let US look to the
bright side of the picture and trust that our
disappointment will not be as poigant as we
had anticipated. Let us give the new gov
ernor cordial greeting and welcome him as
q new citizen who comes to cast his fortunes
with our bright future.

For the burdens the rich endure,

The daughters heart grows willful.
And the fathers heart that bleeds.

From trophies of mart and stage,

And the meadows kindly page.
