Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-07-20

From our English files, just received,
we are at last able to give, in another
column, candid report of the debate
between George and Hyndman. George
was repeatedly asked to explain how the
taxing of land would make it free, and
he repeatedly confined himself to the
assertion that such would be the result,
He was asked, also, to explain how free
access to land alone would give the
laborer the means of using it, to which
he replied most innocently that the first
man had no capital. He has evidently
not outgrown the Fishing" notions
which he Displayed in his debate with
Shevitch, and "Shantytown" is still his
ideal of civilization.

1t is to be hoped that the new State of
Washington will not sell any portion of
its school land. Henry George proposes
that this land be divided into farms and
leased to the highest bidder. He pro-
poses, also, that improvements on such
land be exempt from taxation, and
naively observes that if this were done
the land in question would be improved
sooner and better than any other in the
State. This is favoritism to capital
with a vengeance, Why should not the
State work the land for its own benefit !?
There are one million agricultural labor
ers in the country without employment,
and ready to work for the State of
Washington, or for any other State who
may need their labor The State has it
in its power not only to improve It's own
lands sooner and better than any CAPT
talist would or could, but to employ at
a fair rate of wages a large number of
men who have been driven into idleness
by just such capitalists as George pro-
poses to exempt from taxation.

.HARRYTRACEY's KURNELS

We all want to be kurnels;there
is no exception to the rule that We
know of Just now. The kurnsls
that are IN are very fearful Of the
kurnels who are OUT. There is a
constant struggle between the ms
and OUTS This struggle of the
Kurnels is inside Of every party and
every organization that has offices
ofhonor aud profit. The Demo-
Gratis have Kurnels in Office under
the State government: the Repub-
licans have kurnels in Office Under
the National government.
Now General Harry Tracey, an
Alliance general from Texas. wants
all these Kurnels put out. and a set
of Alliance kuuels put IN. This
is all there is in Harry Tracey
trade against the KurneIs. There
i nothing new in this maneuver 10
get in Cfiice. All kurnsls since the
frs. office was filled. have used this
same kind If tactics. In plain Eng
lish. it Is simply this: Put that
fellow ONT. and put me in." We
are all made Of that stuff. We
should like to know just what the
Alliance kurnels will do when they
get in. except to pocket the shining
shekeIs Of Office. Thereon hang, a
great deal tothe out Kumpls.
But the Alliance kurnpI, will
have a heavy and hot fight. These
old Democratic and Republican
kurnels will not get out until they
are driven out BIZ heavy shelling.
We shall enjoy the fun Of looking
at the fight, aud reporting the pro-
gTess OF the battle.
We have some faint hope Of has.
ing the good luck TO help plumber
the fields. But the yictoriou. kur-
nels will look sharp.

THE INTERNATIONAL EN-
POSITION.

The rounding out of four cen
turies from the discovery OF Amerl-
ca by Columbus ought to be duly
and granuiy celebrated. There is
no better way of doing this than by
great International Exposition by
the, three Americas.
1t is more important that it be
done. than where it is done or bv
whom. We approve of the plan of
joint personal and national endeav-
or. Let both be combined.
We think that Wa ihington City
is the proper place. There are many
reasons in favor Of Washington.
3 We will mention only two.
First. 1t is the capitol of the Ma
ton; second. all the conveniences
are there.
IS But most especially should the
Exposition be utilized to cultivate
friendly relations with the Central
and South American States, and ex-
tend our trade and commerce to
those regions. England holds the
commerce Of those lands in wise.
She will never let 90 her grip till
compelled to do so. She will al
ways seek to control their COM
merce. United action on the part
. of the people and the government
will eventually give Us swav there,
and a most profitable commerce
with them. We must begin to
open up foreign markets. The
rapid expansion of our manufactures
demand this. 1t can not long be
delayed. The South has more, far
more interest in opening up these
markets than any other portion Of
the Union.

Two EvENTs1N THE House OF COMMONS

Two EVENTS IN THE House OF COMMONS.
in referring to letter sent by CONNER
oial cable to the N. Y. Herald, OF peculiar
interest at this time, that journal says
'sThe two events on which he fingers are
the speech of Gladstone and the reception
of Parnell in the House Of Commons.
Gladstone is in his eightieth year, but his
physical endurance seems to be remarkable.
He spoke for full two hours and quarter,
and held his audience with the charm of
his earlier years. Eighty years is great
age at which to lead party in one of the
hardest conflicts in the history of political
controversy.
ParueH followed in tone of conserva-
tive courage which seems to have won him
many friends. He might have been excus-
ed if, flushed with his recent victory, he
had given unusual emphasis to his hopes
for Ireland. But, on the other hand, he
was even more than ordinarily conciliatory,
declaring, however, his belief that "a
scheme may be devised to give Ireland the
mana cement of her own affairs while leav-
ing England to adopt such safeguards as
| she might deem necessary for her own pro-
lection and security"
When Mr.. Parnell began to speak Glad
stone and his party arose in their places
aud bowed 1t was an extraordinary but a
deserved tribute to man who has jus,
come through the flames unscathed. The
title of ''Uncrowned King" seemed peculi
arly appropriate"

THE TERRIFIC FIGHT OF YOUNG ENGLISH
MAN TO WIN WYOMING WIDOW.
CHICAGO, March IA special to the
Daily News from Douglas, Wyoming, says:
The widow McCool, only IS years old, has
been station agent at Dry Cheyenne. on
the stage route between there and Buffalo.
She is brunette and pretty, and command
ed the admiration of all the cattlemen for
miles around.
After refusing dozen offers she accept

and they were to be married in May. Last
week blonde-haired young Englishman
named James Kidd, who is travelling for
an Omaha provision house, by his good
looks and gentle ways produced an impress
sion. Last Saturday night he took the wo-
man to a dance, twenty miles away, at
Sheriff Williams ranch.
Hunton was insanely jealous, and his
cowboys were ordered to pick a quarrel
with the tenderfoot and shoot him if pos
sible. The programme was carried out, but
Kidd pulled two six shooters and backed up
against a closed door leading to bed room.
When the shooting began the lights were
extinguished.
Ed. Cock, Hunton's foreman, dropped
dead from one of Kidd's bullets, and three
or four others were wounded. Kid was

His escape in the darkness was not discov-
cred. Kidd secured saddle-horse, and
placing the widow in front of him galloped
off.
The couple were terribly exhausted when
they reached here Sunday night. After re-
freshments they hired team aud drove
and pushed over the line to Chadron, Neb.,
where they were married.

And soothed the pain of leaving,

She let no tear bedim her eye,
For fear that might distress me.
But kissing me, she said good-by,
And asked our God to bless me.

AN IMPORTANT AND FAR-REACHING DE-
opinion of the Supreme
Court of the United States, delivered on
Tuesday, in the case of the Liverpool and
Great Western Steamsbip Company, is one
of universal interest. It established the
supreme law in this country to be that no
transportation company, railroad, steam
ship or other public carrier, shall limit it's
own liability for negligence, default Or er-
ror, by any stipulation to that effect in any
bill of lading, shipping receipt or other pa
per. Such stipulation or special contract,
however, clearly agreed to or signed by the
shipper, is held by the Supreme Court to
be unlawful, because no common carrier
has the right to make any such condition.
In the case in point the company's bill of
Iading stipulated for its non-liability. The
vessel was stranded on the coast of Wales,
and it was proven in the lower court that
the strandiug wassdus to negligence of the
vessei'a officers. The company sought to
shield itself under its bill of lading, with
the result here indicated. .-NorJoH Land

she heard the crash of the freight train.
and she knew that in a few moments an ex-
press train was due. She lighted lansarn
and clambered up on the cue beam of the
wrecked bridge on to the main bridge,
which was trestle work, and started to
cross amid the thunder and the lightning
of the tempest snd the raging of the torrent
beneath. One misstep and it would have
been death. Amid all that horror the iau-
terri went out Crawling sometimes and
sometimes walking over the slippery rails
and over the trestle-work, she came to the
other side of the river. She wanted to get
to the telegraph station, where the express
train did not stop, SO that the danger
might be telegraphed to the station where
the train did stop. The train was due in

flew like the wind. Coming up to the tele-

exhaustion, she had only strength to shout,

unconscious and could hardly be resuscitat-
ed. The message was sent from that sta
tioh to the next station and the train halt

lives of hundreds of passengers and saved
many homes from desolation.

burying beneath it four villages aud their

the explosion that the mere Wind shock
