bargain at last.-Chicogo Herald.
But There are So Few of Them.
1t was excellent advice l saw lately
given to young ladies urging them 20
marry only gentlemen n notsmarry at
all. A true gentleman is generous and
unselfsh. He regards another's hap
piness and welfare as well as his own.
You will see the trait running through
all his actions. A man who is a bear
at home among his sisters, and dis
courteous to his mother, is just the
man to avoid when you come to the
great question which is to be an
swered yes or no. You need not die
old maids. But wait until the prince
passes by. No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to find him in
the ballroom. Nor is he a champion
billiard player. He has not had time
to become a champion, for he has
had too much honest, earnest work to
do in the world. l have always OBJ
served that these champions y were
seldom good for much else.
Be wary in choosing, girls, when SO
much is at stake. Do not mistake a
passing fancy for undying love. Mar
rylng in haste rarely ends we'll. Do
not resent too much the interference
of your parents. You will travel long
and far in this world before you will
find any one who has your true inter
est at heart more than your father
and mother. Record.

insults of young toughs, things have
come to a pretty pass. President
Bonn should make al example of this
conductor.
WE reprint an article on Hudson
County politics from this mornings
World just for what it is worth. We
are amused at the professions of
brotherly love which it embodies, but
we do not take the slightest stock in
them. One thing is very clear to our
minds. Everything said in this ar
ticle to the contrary notwithstanding,
If the Democratic candidate for Sher-
if is a tool of the Ring or of any one
or any group of the Ring bosses, he
will be beaten, ven though his per-
sonal character were as white as
well as it is possible for the character
of a Ring dependent to be.
Two types of men are specially OBJ
jectionable in this contest. One is the
man who would protect political
criminals, the other the man
who would favor law break
ing rum sellers. The people will
not endure either. They ought not
to endure either. Political corrup-
ton, rum and rowdyism must no
longer rule this community, and the
process of stamping them out must be
begun this Fall.
Let every good citizen rally for the
overthrow of the hydra headed mon
ster of criminality that is running the
city.
His Greed Has Found Him Out.
The announcement in the last issue
of THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS that
six months of Ring Administration
had resulted in an increase of the city
debt by the addition of 81, 1856. 900 to
the monster total it had attained at
the opening of the fiscal year in which
it took hold, must have been a start
ling surprise to those taxpayers who,
when the New Charter was SUBJ
mitted for acceptance or rejection,
were led, by promises of an econom
ical administration, to vote for its
acceptance.
When the charter was voted
for, there were some tax pay
ers who believed that the
promoters of the new charter
movement intended to do honestly
what they had promised to do; and
in that faith they cast their ballots
for the change. These are the gem
tlemen to whose consciousness the
Sunday morning exposure, as to the
state of the public debt, must have
come with stunning power.
They, more than any other class
in the community, will be prompted
to contrast the promise with the re-
suit. They were assured that the old
Ring was wasting their substance,
right and left. with profligate prodi-
gality; that to begin with, the old
system was cumbersome, and conse-
quently necessarily expensive; that
it also divided responsibility so that
no one could put his hand Upon any
one and say "Thou art the man,
that a simpler system would call for
smaller expenditure, and that if one
man were held accountable for the
conduct OF municipal affairs, he would
be und er such restraints that, for his
own honor, he would have things

Alien Land Owners.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
says that alien ownership of land is q
great detriment to the country and
seriously threatens the future, and that
the same objections urged against alien
owners may in a great measure be urged
against corporate ownership Will the
Husbandman kindly explain what diff
ference exists between man who owns
land in Montana and lives in New York
and another man who owns land in
Montana and lives in England? Or il
man is holding land for speculative
purposes, does it really make any diff
ference to the community in which the
land is located whether the owner lives
in the community or on the other side
of the globe? It is not apparent that it
is the land ownership and not the pres
ence or absence of the owner which is
the great evil.
If one man or one thousand men or
one million men can own all the lands
to the positive and unquestioned exclu-
sion of all other men, then the land
owners, be they few or many, can take
from the non-owners all the products of
the labor of the latter except what is
necessary for bare existence. That is
practically condition of slavery with
out the name, and is the condition which
the producers of this country are rapidly
approaching, as is evident from
the mortgage-debto the farmers of the
land, this mortgage debt being only
another form of rent But if the man
who claims the land were compelled to
pay into the public treasury the rental
value which the community gives to the
land, no man would hold any more land
than he wants to use, and immense
quantities of land now unused would be
thrown open to the use of the landless,
which would broaden the field for the
employment of labor, and would give
every man who did not want to work for
others a chance to work for himself. In
short it would bring about that condi-
ton OF ADMINISTRATION of natural OPP
portunities-which has made the United
States the Mecca of the poor and dis
tressed of the whole world.-The Age

The recent utterance Of Cardinal

ceive the benefit of taxes spent should
pay them. This is but simple justice,
and the only question should be who
reaps the benefits?
Do public Improvements increase the
value of buildings? No; but they do in.
crease the value Of land. Therefore, il
we wish to tax the man who receives
the benefit, we must tax the value OF
the land only.
It may be said that the rate would
have to be raised. Well, suppose il
were, what difference would it make
whether man paid $50 year on his
house and lot, or $50 year on his lot
alone? Not any; but it would make q
great difference to the speculator, who
blocks Improvements by asking big
prices for vacant lands.
Mathematical demonstration will
| show that If all the taxable land in, this
city was assessed at its market value
and all other property exempted, il
would not be necessary to raise the rate
| in order to obtain the full amount O.
taxes now levied. If we want our city
to prosper let Jus endeavor to havets
change made IN our constitution ani
laws that will enable US to adopt the
common sense plan of exempting thu
products of industry and enterprise, AM
taxing nothing but land values. Lane
values are created by the community
