Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July %. - To-day's
Post in an article referring to the re-
cent conversion of Judge Reid, of len
nessee, to the single tax idea, after
quoting that gentleman's avowals that
he believes in Henry Georges plan for
single tax, says:
''lt is not without interest to watch
the growth of the single tax idea. There
are said now to be over thirty members
in the house of representatives who be-
lieve in it, coupled with an income tax,
but they keep rather quiet about it at
present. Representative Tillman is a
great admirer of Henry George. Con-
gresham Smith, the Milwaukee indepen-
dent, who will, however, support Cleve-
land, says that the drift of public senti-
ment is toward the Georgian idea. Rep
resentative Dingley. of Maine, has for a
Democratic opponent an eX-printer by
the name of Allen, who is a single tax
advocate. He was nominated by what
is said was the largest and most en-
thuSiaStic convention ever held in tina
district. 1t numbered over 1000 dele
gates. There is not much chance of his
winning, but he will make lively cam
paign."1

was concerned. A club was formed
which will have for it's battle cries the
repeal of the Merritt conspiracy law
and a stricter enforcement of the private
detective law against the Pinkertons;;
A committee of five was also appointed
which is to take charge of the campaign
and act as sort of central body from
which all directions are to emanate. NO

Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1888-05-19

Walter b. Harrub arrived from Cali
fornia last Saturday. A part OF his
business here was TO the dis
lance and figure on the cost OF putting
in pipe to conduct water to the Wide
West and Williamsburg mines. The
Wide West Mining Company are on
sidering the advisability OF putting up
new machinery on the former mine,
and sinking their shaft two or three
hundred feet deeper than it is at pre-
sent, and also Of building teaching
works, or a furnace for the reduction
OF ore from the Hamburg and Adams
Hill mines. An estimate has been
made by Mr.. Harrub on the cost OF
piping water to the Williamsburg
mine, the main shaft Of which We are
told is to be sunk 200 feet deeper by
the Richmond Company. The Will
~liamsburg is practically a lead mine,
the silver product being only from $40
to $25 e ton. II gives evidence OF
being a big property, and as lead is
greatly needed now at the furnaces it
must become the more valuable. IL
teaching works are constructed in this
district, there is but little doubt that
a number of mines that are now lying
compar lively or entirely idle will be
put into active operation. They are
particularly that class OF mines that
yield low grade dry ore, of which there
are a number on Prospect Mountain
and other localities contiguous TO Eu-
reka.

KANUcK.

In the Canadian Senate the other day
Senator Polerce. referring to the possi-
bility that the United States would reject
the fisheries treaty, said: "If in reject
ing that which is just, they should, rely
ing on their number and wealth, attempt
to prey ON our national substance, it will
moi be the Canadians fault if. within
the sound Of their Atlantic cities, they
hear, nearer and nearer, the mighty voice
OF British cannon"
This Kanuck cheap big talk. as our
Indians say. He must have his war paint
on. But what has the United States to
fear from a bit OF a row with the British
Government. True, we haven't much Of
a navy nor many guns, but we would
probably be able to keep the American
eagle aaost for q good while with the
spendid valor and patriotism of our peo-
pie. And one Of the first days work
we should do, would be to capture Can
ada, bag and baggage. While we were
doing this France and Prussia would nip
India from the British possessions. Eng.
land has too much at stake to come fool
ing around our Atlantic cities with Brit
ish cannon. Treaty or no treaty, there
will DO no fighting.
