Henri George defines the difference
between a tax on land and tax on
land values to he In one case tax on
land tnat is valuable and on the 9th
er a tax 'on land without regard to lis
value. NJ. George can always cover
himself up with words. There is no
possible way by which land that is
not valuable can be taxed. If such
land is assessed no one will pay the
tax, and if it is offered for sale no one
will buy il. 1t is only when it has a
value that a tax can be collected.
The distraction that Mr.. George
made was therefore one of words "a
distinction without a difference. Ii

be the result of a policy that hiss

others who prefer to work with their
coats on. Everybody will consider
every other body before himself, and
consequently strife and contention will
cease. 1t is pretty picture, but the
reality does not exist. Man was not
built upon that plan. Mr.. George
tells what would be the result of his
single tax theory. But he does not
proceed step by step to show how
these results wonld be obtained. He
touches up a picture of his own imag.

audience exclaims; GLOW beautiful

They Won the Return Game from the
Jersey Citys.
The Jersey Citys went to Ridgewood
yesterday expecting to again thrash the
Brooklyn American Association team.
They failed this time. Luck was against
them.
Fitzgerald, who pitched SO well against
the Brooklyn mites, on Sunday, was sent
into the box. His arm gave u and he
had to retire before the inning was half
finished. Wheeler succeeded him and he
was batted hard. Wheeler, 1t is said. is
reserving his skill and strength for the
Association games, and he is not doing
his best and risk throwing his arm out.
He gave the fielders lots of practice yes
terday in consequence. Errors, too, were
numerous and helped to swell the big
batting score of the Brooklynites.
The bad luck of the Jerseymen began
with the opening innings with two hands
out and two men on the bases. Sheehan
stepped to The plate. He drove the ball
between centre and left for three bases
and two men scored. But in his eager
ness TO get around the diamond he failed
TO touch first base and was declared out.
OF course the two wins did not count and

EVA'S PRISON LIFE.
Keeper Patterson Says She Has
No Sort Of Special Pri-
yileges.

TRENTON, April II. 1s90.-The special
committee appointed by the House of As
sembly to investigate affairs at the State
Prison held its first meeting at the prison
yesterday. All the members Of the com.
mittee, Messrs. Mullone, Williams, Trier,
Marsh and Voorhees,, were present, and
Reading Clerk Thomas Noonan acted as
clerk for them. They held their investi-
cation in the Inspectors 0 and closed
the door against all newspaper men.
After the committee had organized Ed
ward Mullen, the clerk OF the prison, was
sent for and asked to bring up all the
Contracts and the law bearing on them.
This he did and he was in conference with
the committee for some time. Some of
the members of the committee were sur
prise6 to learn that the law Of 1887 had in
It a proviso which seemed to take all the
responsibility for seeing that the goods
were stamped from the shoulders of the
prison officials.
Head Keeper Patterson was then called
and had u long talk with the committee
He first stated to them that there was no
truth in the reports that Mrs. Eva Hamil-
ton was favored more thar other prison
ers. She was treated in precisely thesame
manner as all other convicts in the
woman's wing, INT had the same fare.
Mr.. Patterson was then asked as to his
idea Of his duties as keeper in relation to
the stamping of all goods made at the
prison. Mr.. Patterson told the committee
nnlainly that neither Mr.. Butler nor him
self considered That they had any more to
do with the matter after they had required
every contractor to insert in their contract
such terms as will bind them to stamp the
articles manufactured in q legible and
conspicuous manner.n He said the
Attorney General hadsinformed them that
their duties ended with that.
Supervisor Butler was then summoned,
and he was before the committee for some
time. He told the committee the same
things as did Mr.. Patterson in reference
to their duties. He then discussed the
piece price and contract systems at length,
and showed how much more profitable to
the State was the contract system.
Deputy Keeper Madden was also before
tho committee and examined. The COM
mittee adjourned to meet next Tuesday
afternoon, when a number of contractors
will be examined as to their custom of
stamping goods.
MI. Mull0ne stated to the committee
that he had seen articles manufactured at
the prison which were not stamped In a
legible manner. This will be brought out
next week. Mr.. Murphy, the member who
complained that he was refused access to
some parts of the prison, will also be

BERGEN BOYS IN LUCK.
They Get Second Place.
Jersey Citys Beaten
Sporting.

It is over. The brilliant season OF the
Jersey City Amateur Bowling League
hns closed. The extra game to decide
the tie for the second prize was bowled
last night and the Fairmounts were sue
cessful. They had foemen worthy of the
steel, as the C~enturys made a fierce fight
for victory. They. seemed like certain
winners. They had a firm lock on their
opponents until they were about to hurl
them down. Then the firm grip relaxed,
IN like o flash the advantage changed
n the Centurys were thrown, after a
superb struggle.
The arena was Duke 81 Ramsav's new
alleys. An immense and intense crowd
ffocked to witness the last Meague game.
The space reserved for the audience was
packed. How they did yell and applaud
and in other ways show they were pleased
or otherwise at the way the game was
progressing.
When a Century bowler made a credit
the delegates from the Court House Sec
ton sent up a war whoop that made the
proprietors of the alley pale as the build
ing rocked. When a Paramount bowler
smilingly walked from the alley with q
strike or spare to his credit, he was greeted
With a storm OF applause, and again The
color departed from the features OF the
firm. 1t is an even contest between The
representatives Oh DeIStu duu bHe JOYS
from the Court House as to which can
make the most noise.
The Centurys went off like a two-year
old and had II lengths the best of 1t at
the first tenth. They showed their heels
to their rivals until the eighth frame,
when the lead. which had been as high as
81. dwindled to 3.
In the ninth the Fairmounts made a
magnificent squirt. They put 161 in the
frame. 1t was a surprise and how the
their favorites. The ninth frame
closed with the Fairmounts in the
van by IS pins. The Centurys were not
dismayed aud BOWED well in the tenth
frame. They cut down the lead of the
enemy by nine pins, but were defeated by
90.
Fish of the Centurys and Herring of
the Fairmounts caught the best scores.
They each beat two hundred. Hanley,
Reiners and Russell bowled well.
The scores follow
