BLIND OF ONE EYE.

In commenting on Col. lngersoll's re-
markable address to the New York State
Bar Association the Industrial Journal
of Cleveland observes:
Col. lnEcrsolls statement that "tene-
ments and flats and rented lands are,
i'll my opinion, the enemies of Civiiiza-
ton; they put few in palaces and many
in prisons, is virtually an endorsement
of the single tax, which would abolish
"tenementS and flats and rented lands.
This is rather hasty conclusion, and
We happen to know that lngersolI would
knock it higher than a kite" if he
cared at all TO consider the economic
pretensions of single-taxers.
1t is nearly time for the few labor
papers that are still looking with one
eye at the bare land to look with the
other eye at the capital that covers the
land 1t is preposterous at this late day
to still contend that the single tax would
"abolish tenements, flats, and even
rented lands" Exclusively free from

THE TAXING POWER OF CA
PlTAl.

An Albany correspondent Of this pa
per, Mr.. w. c. Clark calls our atten-
ton to an article in the n. Y. ErcRing
telegram of a recent date, showing
that the gross receipts of the railroads
in the Empire State alone during the
past eight years constituted a larger
sum than the national debt, and that
their net annual profits are greater than

like American humbugologists, must

like American humbugologists, must
have "quiet conscience" and they
will get it at any cost. Where is Bis
marck all this while? He, of the quiet
conscience, surely laughs in his sleeve.
But the Socialists may well laugh out
right. No sleeve for them, and no re-.
Cancellation. The youngster who plays
Emperor in Berlin is poor diplomat.
The Daily Commercial Bulletin of this
city pays Samuel Gompers the compli
ment Of an editorial "refutation'. Com
pers had spoken of some of the opponents
of the eight-hour workday as "men of
learning and the Bulletin, highly flat
tered by a courtesy which may not have
been intended for its editor, brays like
an ass and kicks like mule. OF learned
asses we have heard sometimes; Of
moral ones never. And 50 the Bulletin
objt cts to Gompers' proposition, that if
the hours of labor are reduced the work
ing man will not waste his spare time in
rum holes or debauchery, but will so
improve it as to become a better man
morally and Intellectually. Not that
the Rulietin "dlslrusts the workman
moral character" Oh no But "the
eight.hour question is more a question
of political economy than of morality,
and ito drag the latter in the discus
sion is begging the question. At last,
then, we have it in nutshell Political
economy-the economy of capitalism
and its "learned men" - is immoral it
cannot stand the test of morality.

One of the most notorious "boodlers"
in the United States Senate has prepared
bill for the restriction of undesirable"
immigration. Among the aliens that
Mr.. Chandler proposes to exclude are
not only the idiots, the insane, the pau
pers, the contract laborers, the poly
gamists, the criminals convicted of
misdemeanors involving moral turpi-
trde, the persons afflicted with loath-
some and contagious diseases, but-and
above all others-the Socialists. 1t BELTS
such a moral idiot and political leper as
the author of this bill to imagine that
he can protect domestic turpitude from
the irresistible advance of Socialism.

the aggregate OF all taxes levied in this
State last year.
There are many ways of comparing
and illustrating statistics. BY looking
over a file of the WoRKMES's ADVOCATE
it will be seen, for instance, that several
weeks before the Telegram had thus
spoken Of the taxing power Of the
railroads, we had not only given an &C
count Of the enormous profits Of those
corporations in New York State during
the past year, but had observed that the
taking power 0: the whole railway
system of the country, as shown by its
times the revenues of our national gov
eminent.
Again, our correspondent suggests
that "a most convincing article might
be written, showing the taxing power Of
corporations, trusts and other mono
poles in one grand column" An I'M
dertaking of this magnitude will not be
possible until the Census Of 1890 affords
the necessary data. Even then the re-
suits arrived at will be mere approxima-
TORS, because the monopoiies are care
fully doctoring their returns, 40 AZ to
conceal large portion of their profits.
But in previous issues OF this paper we
have shown, most conclusively, that the
share of labor in its product was only rs
per cent, or one quarter of the whole
monopoly in every form absorbing
three quarters. We have also stat ed,
from the most careful analysis Of pro-
ducton and consumption that statisti
clan can make with the data now at
hand, that the present increase of CAPT
talistic wealth is at the rate of three bill
hon dollars a year, or nine million dol
lars per working day. This is the mere
met saving of the capitalist class and
does not include its expenditure in ne
cessaries and Injuries, which the laboring
class supplies also, In brief, we con
tend that the taxing power of monop.
oily in all forms is Is cents on every
dollar of product. And we dare to pre-
Dict that the Census of 1890, however
| doctored with view to the concealment
of portentous facts, will unqueston-
ably show that we are right.
Now, a word of advice to our readers
and correspondents. We shall be thank
full to them for any suggestive clippings
from newspapers that they may send U.s.
and especially for original information
resting upon personal knowledge Of
facts; that is, for facts gathered within
their respective range of observation
Though we may not use it Immediately,
anything of actual value will come out
in time, greatly strengthened by yeril-
cation, comparison, classification and
generalization
AS rule the statistical and econom-
ical statements in the daily press cannot
be trusted, because of its superticiality
and bias. But if our readers will keep
a file of the WORkNEN's ADVOCATE
| they will have at their command an
almost exhaustless supply of we'll au-
| thentiCated, substantial information
upon every economic queston--an in
valuable encyclopaedia of economic
knowledge, and the means of individually
making original comparisons.

1t is announced by cable that the En-

publication of the following remarks
made to Deputy Baron Eynem: "Wheth.

the welfare Of the working classes, be-
cause we are convinced that this will
ultimately enable us to reconcile the
workingmen with their position in the
social scale. These endeavors will, at
any rate, give me quiet conscience for
all we do This is plain enough. The
object of the Emperor is to reconcile
the workingmen with their position in

REPUBLICANS AND MORMONISM

The Republicans of Arizona in their convention adopted a plank in their platform asking Congress to pass bill now before that body for the puritica- ton of elections in Arizona. This bill is but an embodiment of the Idaho test oath. Immediately the Democratic organs cry out that the Republican party wants to dislranchise the Mor- mons. The Republican party, by adopt ing this plank, said emphatically that
 it was in favor of disfranchising cer- tain class of law breakers. The test oath asked for provides that any "mem- Der of any order, sect or organization which teaches, advises or encourages the practices of bigamv or polygamy, or any other crime, as duty or privilege resulting or arising from the faith or practice of such order, sect or organiza- tion, or which teaches, counsels, en- courages or advises any person or per sons to commit the crimes of bigamy or polygamy, or any other crime as a re- ligious duty" shall be denied the right of franchise.
 This was claimed to be directed solely at the Mormons. It was directed at the Mormons so far as they came within the provisions of such a law. That the Re- publicans were right in this has been acknowledged by the chief heads of the Mormon church at Salt Lake. Three weeks ago President Woodruff issued a proclamation in which he advised that the practice of plural marriage cease among the Saints, and at the general conference of the church few days later this proclamation was endorsed by the Apostles and now stands as supreme law of the church. As Mormons simply, the Republican party does not now and never did have any war to wage against that people. As polygamists it did wage war against them, because the laws of the United States declare that polygamy or Uigmy is a crime and the Republican party never has and never will condone crime. Republicans of | Arizona ask no better endorsement then that of President Woodruff of the Mor- mon church when he says that the laws treat plural marriages as a crime and his advice to his people is that their practice cease.

HEARKENING to the repeated sugges tions of TIE REPUBLICAN to pave the streets, the Council has at last concluded to make a start in this direction. So far so good, and TIE REPUBLICAN heartily endorses the step taken by the city fathers, but there are other inn provements that should be looked after at this time also. Above all, sidewalks should be built, particularly on Wash ington street where a uniform system of walks should be provided for by the proper ordinance. Then the houses should be numbered. Phoenix is grow ing, and as she assumes metropolitan proportions these improvements should be made. They can be commenced now at very little expense and no time should be lost in making a start on them.

As BETWEEN Harris Baldwin and Hon. J. M. w. Moore, for Joint Councilman, voters of the Northern District, and par ticularly of Maricopa county, should have no difficulty in making selection as to the one best fitted to represent them in the Sixteenth Legislative Coun- cil. MT. Moore is a progressive business man, a property owner and taxpayer in both Yavapai and Maricopa counties; a man of experience in the Council and one who understands the wants of the people. Harris Baldwin is an attorney who fled from Mississippi under ques- tionable circumstances, and whose con duet while District Attorney of Apache county is anything but praiseworthy.

THE Democratic ring organ gratui- tously insults every man engaged in the liquor business in Phoenix, because they refuse to be subservient to it's black mailing schemes. Among these men are some of the most progressive citizens and heaviest tax payers of Phoenix, and that they should take an interest in poli- tical affairs is but natural. That they have ever tried to form any combination to defeat any candidate is absolutely untrue. They will all exercise their rights as American citizens and all the bulldozing of a corrupt ring organ will not change them.

As USUAL with it the Democratic ring organ of Maricopa county attempts to reply to direct charges by statements which it knows are absolutely false. Never in the history of the Yuma prison did the per capita cost per diem of maintaining prisoners reach $1.7l and no one knows this better than the editor of the Gdzette. He also knows that never in the history of the Yuma prison was the cost of maintenance SC high as under the Zulick-Bchan admin. istration of corruption and thievery. That paper long ago adopted the policy that lie we'll stuck to is as good as the truth and is adhering to it most zeal, ously.

ON THE CURBSTONE.

THERE is hotel keeper in Maricopa who halls from northern Missouri. Maricopa is not exactly an exhierating place of residence and so our friend a week or so ago thought he would take q trip to Yuma. l am informed that he got there all right, but that something mysterious happened on the return trip, Now, if there was anything our friend prided himselS on, it was his skill at casino or euchre and, sub rosa, he had an idea that he could play poker. Well, as he was rolling homeward he was ap- preached by sanctimonious looking stranger who asked if he cared for q friendly little game of euchre. He did. He found it was three-handed game. He was very successful. though there were no stakes. Presently one of the strangers said he had good poker hand; the other stranger had fair one himself. The Bonlface had a fair hand but stayed out and saw big pile Of money change hands on rather low cards. Then they played euchre awhile again. The hotel man in one deal finally got four Jacks. He wanted to play poker and was accommodated. He put all the money he had, almost S20, on the table and added to it his gold watch. But, alas, one of the other strangers had four Kings, and raked in tine pile. Not until then did the Maricopa man see that he had been buncoed and that it was too late to kick. His life has been embit- tered by the loss and his digestion ruined by the jibes of his boarders, to whom he was foolish enough to tell the tola

Now IS the time of year when little knots of men are seen upon the side walks, with their heads together, and with serious faces, "talking politics." As I perambulate around l overhear much of the subject matter in these dis Cussions; in fact, 1t is not infrequent for me to do a little discussing myself. My investigations are very general, but 1 must say that what hear is all to the same general tenor. Among the men of property, the farmers especially, the general sentiment is, without regard to party affiliations, "The administration of county affairs must be changed; the present system is little short of robbery; {; taxes are dreadful and another draft of them is now at hand; We must put a stop to this eXtravagance; we must show the ring that it does not own Maricopa county and have it's citizens peoned to it; we will vote for the Re- publican nominees"

VIEWING with critical eye and ear the oratoricaI efforts of my young friend Chalmers, l am struck with the pro- iundity of his studies and the depth of his learning. He alludes in the most careless air imaginable to the old worthies of ancient Greece and Rome, and at such length that he rarely approaches local subjects until about the end of his lecture. But then it is sad how little appreciated is the plen- teous display of such erudite knowledge. The average voter is gross enough in his tastes to wish to hear some defense of the ring, if defense is possible, and to listen to a discussion of local affairs and questions. It may be that Chal has un- dertaken to educate the masses up to the beauties of ancient literature during this brief political campaign. But then, the popular sentiment was expressed by an old Democrat who sat next to me at one of the meetings. He said, What a pity Chal was not born about 2O00 years ago."

ONE of the amusing things in this western country is the amateur cowboy. He is trapped out with chaparejos Heather leggings), big hat, with leather band, rawhide riata, great spurs and every other attribute of the stage cowboy. He usually rides into town on the full jump, jabbing his spurs into the side of his unfortunate beast and jerking his horses head up by means of cruel Spanish bit. Thus out fitted, he presents quite an exhibition on the streets, but one at which the old timers smile and say, suggestively, "Tenderioot." The true COW puncher puts on his leggings only when going into brushy country, leaves his range trappings at home and comes to town quietly attired in the best clothes he owns. The better the range rider, the less ostentatious his trappings.

l AM interested in the noble red man.
 He is rich subject for the student of natural history. The particular Indian who is to be studied in this locality is the Pima. He has so many artless ways, yet mixed with an ape-like cunning
 that he is always productive of amuse- ment, if not instruction. heard a story the other day that illustrates one of his worst phases. A small store on the reservation was well guarded by it's pro- prietor, who, to secure against possible thievery, had even barred his windows with a lattice work of strong wooden slats. The red handkerchiefs, to which the Indians are so partial, were stacked near one of these windows, and the pile diminished in size much more rapidly than the sales warranted. A slight noise behind him caused the proprietor to turn around one day, and he was just in time to note a red hankerchief disappearing through the barred window attached to a long reed. By means of piece of resinous and sticky gum on the end of a four-foot reed, adroit thieves had sup piled the whole settlement with ban danas. At another time they quietly dug a small hole through the adobe wall
