singIe-Tnxer j. ]. Quinn Makes Some
Modest Demands Known-The Com.
munist Plan.
At P. M. yesterday the Single Tax
League met at the hall of the Union Veter-
an Legion, on Sixth avenue, to listen to an
address upon MANS Natural Right to
Land" by Mr.. 1. j. Quinn, who said:
"In the beginning the world was created
with fixed laws to govern its action and the
actions of its inhabitants. All men are
bound by, and are equal under
these laws and have equal privileges.
One of these privileges is an equal right to
the ownership of land by each and every
man. Now as all land will not yield the
same return for the same amount of labor
expended upon 1t, all men will seek to sup
port themselves upon the ground requiring
the least quantity of manual work. The
owners of the better kind of land should
therefore be required to give an equivalent
to the Government for the value Of the land
above the margin of cultivation.
"In this country, however, men have been
deprived of their natural right to land, and
by the very ones who, though they fought
for liberty in the Rebellion, had not the
courage to insert this principle in the Con-
stitution. This duty now devolves upon the
present generation. Do we not see on all
sides of us the evidence of the injustice OF
our present system. Men out of work.
women and children starving, vice and crime
spreading, and need point out the remedy?
"You all know that the single tax on land
is the only remedy. 1t will give steady en-
ployment to every man, spread peace through
all the nations, destroy avarice and greed
and spread abundance on all sides. Let us
then be united in our action. Let us force
concessions from the two great parties by
sheer power of numbers. Among the many
things we should do is insist on the re-
duction of the tariff, that exorbitant and un-
just tax, oppose all taxes in the States that
oppose the people, and not on land values.
assist all schemes for the repeal of the old
tax laws and support every candidate for
election who we know entertains our views.
If we do this we may be sure that the single
tax on land will eventually triumph"

A YOKE THAT IS EASY.
terian Church Yesterday-He Preached
on, the Fealty Which Man Owes to God.


Rev. w. r. Johnston at the First Presby.
terian Church Yosterday-He Preached
on, the FeaIty Which Man Owes to God.
Rev. W. f. Johnston, d. D., President
of Biddle University, Charlotte, N. c.,
preached yesterday evening, at 7:45 at the
First Presbyterian Church, Wood street.
He took for his text Matt. xi. 90 and 30:
'Take my yoke upon you and learn OF me,
for am meek and loving in heart; and ye
shall find rest unto your souls"-"For my
yoke is easy and my burden is light"
Enlarging upon these divine words, he
emphasized the truth of the dogma that
Gods burden was light one. 1t was
necessary for man-strong as his spirit
might be-to bow to this yoke and to
carry this burden. The proudest and
loftIest monarch of the forest may
be enwrapped in clinging ivy. The ivy is
on Northern shores. The Greek forms OF
worship appeal only to the philosopher, the
poet and the sage. To the ignorant, and,
indeed, to the ordinary man, they would be
inexplicable. But Christianity, on the
other hand, will suit the minds Of Northern
and Eastern. learned and unlearued alike.
There is no country in which Christianity
would seem out of place. This shows the
wonderful nature of the yoke we are called
upon to bear. Man, must have some master.
If he accept not God for his master he must
of necessity accept the devil. There is no
choice left to him.
The preacher closed his sermon with a
few glowing words in which he exhorted all
present to accept Christ's yoke and Christ.s
burden is not yoke, but tits so light that it
is scarcely to be felt, and it immeasurably
brightens and beautifes the tree. The yoke
which God imposes is that of Christianity,
and the yoke must be borne in a proper
manner. Christianity is faith made by
God so as to suit the temperament of every
man, to whatsoever nation he may belong.
This can be said of no other form of
worship. The sensuality of Mahomedanism
would ill-suitt the fierce Norseman or the Sax
on with his sturdy, honest soul. The ascetic
teachings of the Brahmin religion would be
equally out of place, only as the lightest and
the most profitable, but also as the nobiest
and the best

ROW AT A CAMPMEETING.
Two Colored Damsels Fight Over the Pos
session of One Beau.

=
session of One Beau.
While the services were at their height in
the campmeeting of the colored folk at
Williamsburg Grove yesterday, two dusky
damsels were actively engaged in a most
bitter fight. They showed conclusively that
the clouds of war are liable to break in upon
the most peaceful and religious gathering.
One of the young women had come to the
meeting with an escort, and, while she was
in another part Of the grove, the services of
this gentleman were appropriated by dam
sci No. 2. This enterprising lady sent the
gentleman after something and, during his
absence, No. put in an appearance.
What you mean, woman" she shouted,
"taking NV fellah? came to the meeting
with that man." The other replied that
she didn't care whose fellow he was, as long
as she was with him. Then they went for
one another, and the way in which bonnets
were smashed, hair pulled, faces scratched
and clothes disarranged was caution. The
fight was finally stopped, but not before it
had caused amusement for those looking on.
The belligerent parties were dragged away,
heaping imprecations on the heads of each
other, and laying claim to the ownership of
"that fellow" in the most earnest manner.

ASPHALTUM BLOCK MATTERS,
The PhdIadeIphia Firm to Erect a Block
Factory at New Castle.

The laying of asphaltum blocks on Fed
eral street is progressing rapidly, and
within few days the experimental square
will be finished. There are loo square
yards in the section being relaid and the ex-
pense will be about s., 900.
1t is learned that the Philadelphia firm,
which owns or controls the patents under
which the block is put upon the market,
has secured some land in New Castle upon
which a branch factory will be erected
within few months. This is said to be for
the purpose of saving freight upon block
used in the two cities. But it also indicates
that the firm has hopes of a whacking big
contract from somebody not a thousand
miles from New Castle.
