In July the Cassida will be with us.
But where shall we look for him?

of few seconds, as you hold him In

THE SINGLE TAXTSTS.
Charles E. Haynes Tells Of a
Model City Under Single Tax.

OIEf OuACE - rt%A-
The attendance at the Single Tax
league was rather slim last evening.
President Buell. addressed large num-
Der of chair-backs when he arose and
moved that the league give its indOrse-
ment to a bill now before congress al
lowing free entry to imports received in
exchange for articles of export. Since
Buell. had given his voice to it, OF course
the motion was carried. Next came q
proposition to appoint committee to
confer with committees from other
societies to wait upon the city assessor.
to hold an argument with him looking
to a more equal system of local taxation.
Considerable argument followed this
motion. and a gentleman with flowing
griZZled beard arose, grlpped the chair
in front Of him. and, waving a long in
dex finger at Chairman Buell., started,
at freight-train speed, on spread-eagle
speech, in which he brought the Ameri-
can eagle to the front, seated upon the
palladium of liberty. MIR. Buell. warned
him that he was somewhat Off the track.
but he was not to be coughed down, and
the flow of elOquence proceeded.
What is the gentleman'S name?"

Charles L. Haynes, editor of the
Northwest Labor. read the paper OF the
evening, telling what city would be
under single tax. The paper was an
excellent piece of literary work, but
was too highly cOlOred, and dealt with
too heavy adjectives for an ordinary
audience. He began with primitive
man. and followed him down to his
settlement in a society or municipality.
He said that the first come was first
served in the choice OF land. and the
balance had to take what was left. He
roasted the speculative system, and said
that single tax would do away with all
that.
He closed by claiming a city only
next to heaven with broad bOulevards
and immense parks. a happy people
with no work to do and plenty of
money. under the benefcent influence
of a single tax. After the reading there
was considerable discussion over the
paper, and the evenings talk did not
close until q late hour.

JUDGE REA TO RESIGN.
He Will Engage in Active Law
Practice.

Practice.
A vacancy will occur on the district
bench of Hennepin county in a short
time, when Judge John P. Rea will re-
tire from his judgeship and again re-
sumo the active practice of law. The
resignation will be rendered in day or
two, and will take effect at the close of
the present term. He will at once enter
into partnership with John M. Miller
and Ell Terrence. the firms offices to be
located IN the Guaranty Loan building.
The present firms of Miller, Young u
AkerS, and Terrence IL Fletcher will be
dissolved. and Messrs. Miller and Tor
renee will move into the new Office in
couple of weeks. When asked in re-
gard to the report. Judge Rea said: at
is all true. | shall hand in my reSlgna-
ton in day or two. This may appear
to be rather sudden move on my part.
but 1t is the result of nearly two years
dellberatIOn. | have long desired to re-
sumo the practice Of the law, preferrlng
it, as l do. to my duties on the bench.
During the past twelve years my prac-
tice has been seriously interrupted by
my judicial experience. l have served
four years now on the district court
bench. From 1881 to 1885 | was engaged
in active practice. but during the four
years preceding l was probate judge.
AS l said before, l prefer to practice
law rather than to administer it. and.
therefore, L have at last made up my
mind to resign"
The Judges regular term would eX-
pire on Jan. next, and a successor
would be elected to fill the vacancy,
therefore the appointee to be selected
by the governor will have but six
months to serve. The news is a sur
prise in law circles. and as yet no one
has been thought OF for a successor.
