SPENCERlAN EVOLUTION.

Says Herbert Spencer in his recent
letter to the London Times "The belief
that land would be better managed by
public officials than it is by private
owners, is very wild belief He sees
what "public officials" are under
capitalistic system that necessarily cor
rupts every political function, and has
evidently no idea of what they would be
in cooperative commonwealth. He
forgets the very first principles of his
evolution theory. But, aside of this, it
is untrue that private ownership of land
secures its good management, either for
the owner himself, or for the labor EN-
ployed upon it, or for the public at
large. What sort of management is
it, from this triple standpoint, that
exhausts the soil by vampire system
of culture, keeps the best land unpro-
ductive, destroys the forests, raises
twelve bushels of wheat where thirty
might easily be obtained, and gives
labor one quarter only of the product?
In Spencers latest utterances, as com
pared with his earliest, we have strik-
ing example of the sad but fatal evolu
ton of the ''.land-taXer intoa "scien-
tifc anarchist, and finally into a"capi,
....,.stic economist. But it is amusing
to hear George, who stole his single
land-tax theory from Spencer and has
himself evolved into a full-tledged CAPT
talstic economist, calling his intellectual
father an apostate. An apostate Why.
George, you are double, triple, qua
| druple apostate
/ There is much in common between
Spencer and George, as there is between
them and all past and present scientific
anarchists and that is, systematic
disagreement in all things-constant
apostacy. George, Spencer, Tucker
Stuart; great and small, they all agree

The Race Question in the South.
A Georgia dominic writes as follows
to the New York Herald:

A Georgia dominic writes as follows
to the New York Herald:
Mr.. EDlToR-Dis yere race question
has begun to rare up on its hine legs.
Eff it amt handled putty careful some
body's gong to git hurt.
Bein' black, sp Sc Use part OBJ dis
question; but de white man who Ibis
mex door to my hut an who has shot
gun jess like mine, he s anodder part OBJ
it, amt he? He says de niger is de
bgges' half an de wus half, an in my
'pinion dats whar he makes mistake.
Now my Judgement is dat when de
Souf comes to de 'clusion dat dere amt
no niggers IN dis country, dat ebbery-
body is white fore de law, de race ques-
ton will take to de woods. Longs
dere one law fer de whites an anodder
law for de blacks we amt gon' to hev
no peace. But eff you can 'suade de
Souf to use de same hammer to brake
de head OBJ a white rascal as it uses to
brake de head OBJ black scoundrel den
you Sc got dis yere problem by de horns.
Yours, P. J.
P. 81 have frowed de subjec' into
poetry in de followin':-
IF de niggers a rascal becos' he's a
niger,
An de white mans SAINT becos' he is
white,
De race problems goin' to grow bigger
an bigger.
For it won't settle dat way !; not by a
darned site"
In commenting editorially upon this
letter the Herald observes: "Mr. John
son is entirely correct in his views. We
can't quite agree with his spelling, but
we have great admiration for his COM
mon sense, and have feeling that he
wouldn't be bad man in the House Of
Representatives. The whole country is
made better by that bit of plain talk"
By substituting the word "laborer"
for the word "nigger," and the word
"class" for the word race" the views
above expressed would be correct, not
as to the South alone, but as to the
whole country. The Herald, however,
might not be SO prone to find them
| correct.
