WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Matt Quay Is
still the enemy of the force bill, and he
will make his opposi tion known in an
effective way. Ii is learned that be has
prepared a substitute that he will
present, and that this substitute is
much more radical and stringent
that the bill now under construction.
Ii does everything, except compel the
soldiers TO bring negroes TO the polls and
compel them to vote the republican
ticket. The idea in bringing in the sub
stitute is to give the republican opponents
of the Hoar-Rowell bill another measure,
and so divide them, and that Is the first
indication that Harrison's suggestions are
not TO be seriously regarded.
Colonel Sanders will not deny that he

Why was their business falling
off so?
That is question easily
answered.
A new clothing firm had en-
tered the arena for the public
patronage and had conducted a
business that was something new
to these "Old Timers" 1t was
competition that they were not
used to. This new firm conducts
business that gives credit to no

Of Lima, small town IN Beayerhead

the citizens from the Indians. There is a
reservation near that town, occupied by
the Snakes and Bannocks, who are usual

the ghost dance has been IN progress for

The governor has telegraphed the dis

An important timber stealing case was

company. The creditors Of firm in Deer
Lodge seized $3.50 worth of timber
stolen from Northern Pacific lands. The
company brought suit against the sheriff,

kind in this state, Oregon and Washing

Mr.. Powderly's late address to the
workingmen of Pennsylvania on the
value of the ballot intelligently and
honestly used is another example of the
wise and honorable methods by which
he aims to improve the condition of
organized wage-workers. He tells the
vast army of laborers in that state that
they must cease being partisans in order
to be freemen. He urges them to ignore
all party bosses and work together for a
secret ballot so that they may vote
henceforth absolutely as they choose,
without any fear of coercion Then
they can compel the powerful corpora
tions of Pennsylvania at least to respect
existing laws.
The workingman in this country can
always control legislation in the interests
of the people if he will make the best
use possible of his vote. The doctrines
of the anarchist and of other perfidious
agitators tend to make him look on the
ballot with contempt. There lies his
great error. Mr.. Powderly's advice on
this subject is the best which he can
hope to receive.-C Chicago Duly News.

The Single Tax Briefly Explained.

The single tax contemplates the aboli-
ton of all taxes upon labor or the pro-
ducts of labor-that is, to say, the aboli-
ton of all taxes, save one tax levied on
the value of land, irrespective of i'm
provements.
Since in all our states we now levy
some tax on the value of land, the single
tax can be instituted by the simple and
easy way of abolishing, one after an
other, all other taxes now levied, and
commensurately increasing the tax on
land values, until we draw upon that
one source for all expenses of govern
ment; the revenue being divided be-
tween local governments, state govern
ment, as the revenue from direct taxes
is now divided between the local and
state governments, or direct assess
ment being made by the general govern
ment upon the states and paid by them
from revenues collected in this manner
The single tax is not tax on land,
and therefore would not fall on the use
of land and become tax on labor.
1t is a tax, not on land, but on the
value of land. Thus it would not fall
on all land, but only on valuable land,
and on that, not in proportion to the use
made of it, but in proportion to its value
the premium which the user of land
must pay to the owner, either in pur
chase money or in rent, for permission
to use valuable land. 1t would thus be
tax, not on the use or improvement of
land, but on the ownership of land,
taking what would otherwise go to the
owner as owner, and not as user.
In assessments under the single tax,
all values created by individual use or
improvement would be excluded, and
the only value taken into consideration
would be the value attaching to the
bare land by reason of neighborhood.
etc. Thus the farmer would have no
more taxes to pay than the speculator
who held similar piece of land idle,
and the man who, on city lot, erected
a valuable building, would be taxed no
more than the man who held a similar
lot vacant.
The single tax, in short, would call
upon men to contribute to the public
revenues not in proportion to what they
produce or accumulate, but in proportion

FreeIand Democrats, VIII You Lead {?

In setting forth the necessity of a
thorough organization of the Democratic
forces in this district the Plaia Speahey
says:
Let Freeland and vicinity begin imme-
diately at the work of organization, and
llazleton and vicinity will try and keep
pace, and ere long the fourth district
will have an organization such as it
never had before. The Democrats have
been taught the necessity of an organi-
zation of this kind, and in this region
there should have been one a long time
ago, but better late than never, and
now that our people are ripe for such
movement, let the good work commence
Immediately. Freeland is the political
centre of the north side, and has in its
borough and surroundings men who are
possessed of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and good sense, and movement
of the above character instituted by
them will shortly be followed by gen
eral one throughout the entire region.

A Change of Opinion.

Editor Medill of the Chicago Tribune,
one of the principal Republican organs
of the West, began raising great hub
bub recently about the tariff. He was
afraid the present congress would de-
grade itself by lowering some of the
duties and was loudly demanding of it
to keep "hands off," until he was re-
minded by one of his neighbors, the
Free Trade HeraM, that in a letter TO
d. w. Windsall, dated only two years
ago, he wrote the following words:
Where, then, is the remedy from the
heavy burdens of fifty per cent. tax on
the necessaries of life, both imported
and domestic? There is only one ele-
ment or class able to remove it, and that
Samson is sleeping in the lap of Delilah
and will not awaken. |, of course, mean
the farmers, the plundered, unprotected,
twenty-five million of geese-like farmers
who permit themselves to be plucked of
almost every feather by hundred
thousand protected monopolsts. So
long as the simple minded bucolic class
do not kick off the burden laid upon
them, congress will not disturb the war
taxes and manufacturers corresponding
bounties. While the plowmen act like
Issacher's ass, and crouch between the
two burdens, both will be kept Oh their
backs.
The effect was magical. Editor Medill
wouldn't explain why he changed his
opinion, and he has also let congress and
the tariff alone.
