Welcoming George to Bermuda.

When Mr.. George was talking with his
friends about a good place in which to
take a complete rest "a suggestion was
made that perhaps in Bermuda he would
find IA place where the single tax had
never been heard of, and where he
would escape all invitations and temp
tationS to discuss the principles with
which his name is identified. 1t seems,
however. that the editor of the Bcrmu-
da Colonist, the liberal paper of tho
island, is a single taNcr and has
been such for years. 1t was therefore,
an easy task for him to reply to an arti-
Gle in a tory paper of the island, in
which Mr.. George was alluded to as a
socialist" The reply is the leading ed
itorial in the Colonist for Wednesday,,
February 1, and is as follows:
The most distinguished civil visitor
Bermuda has had for many day is Mr..
Henry George, of New York city-who
is comfortably quartered at the Prin-
cess hotel Mr.. George was. a few weeks
ago. run down by work and sought
these islands for rest. Only short
time ago he returned from u lecturing
tour in the Australian colonies, where
he was received with great enthusiasm.
His themes were free trade and sin
gle tax" At Sidney. New South Wales,
1000 people in Il drenching rain filed
the exposition building in their desire
to hear him. 1t was the arduouS work
on this trip that largely contributed to
his breakdown. We can hardly blanc
the Australians. however. for having
given us this opportunity of entertain
ing so distinguished a public man.
Mr.. George is famous the world over
as the author of progress and
Poverty" which advocates the abolition
of all taxes save a single tax on tho
value of land irrespective of improve
mcnts. This is the direct opposite of
socialism and for this he is no doubt
ironically called a ''Sociaiist." The
movement his book inauguratcd is now
forcing itself upon the public attention
of the United States. Australia, and
England. The next congress at Wash
ington. meeting March /. will have Il
dozen single tax members who are ais q
democrats. The democratic party is
largely honeycombed with the Henry
! George idea, and the Colored Farmers
alliance, representing 1000. 900 colorcd

SOME twelve or fifteen years ago tho
late Ben Wade of Ohio said. in a speech
in the United States senate, that by tho
close of this century every acre of ordi-
nary agricultural land in the United
States would be worth $50 in gold. 1t
is already clear that if he erred at all, it
was in over-stating the time. In the
twcnty-onc years that remain of the
present century, if our population keeps
on increasing at the rate it has main
tanned since the institution of the gov
ernment. with the exception of the dec
adc which included the civil war. there
will be an addition to our present popu-
lation of something like forty-tivc mill
ions, an addition of some seven mill
ions more than the total population of
the United States as shown by the ccn-
sus of 1870, and nearly half as much
again as the present population of Great
Britain. There is no question about
the ability of the United States to Sup
port such population and many hun
drcds of millions more. and. under
proper social adjustments, to support
them in increased comfort; but in view
of such an increase of population. what
becomes of the unappropriated public
domain. Practically there will soon
cease to be any. 1t will bc a very long
time before it is all in use: but it will
be very short time, as we are going,
before all that men can turn to use will
have an owner.
But the evil effects of making the land
of n whole people the exclusive property
of some, do not wait for the final appro-
priation of the public domain to show
themselves. II is not necessary to con-
template them in the future: we may
see them in the present. They have
grown with our growth, and are still
increasing.
We plow new fields, we open new
mines. we found new cities; we drive
back the Indian and cXtcrminate the
buffalo: we girdlc the land with iron
roads and lace the air with telegraph
wires: we add knowledge to knowledge,
and utilize invention after inventions;
we build schools and cndow colleges: yet
it becomes no easier for the masses of
our people to make living. On the
contrary, it is becoming harder. The
wealthy class is becoming more
wealthy; but the poorer class is becom-
ing moro dependent. The gulf between
the employed and the employer is grow
ing wider; social contrasts are becom-
ing sharper: as liveried carriages appear,
so do barefooted children. We are be-
coming used to talk of the working
classes and the propertied classes; beg
CARS are becoming so common that
where it was once thought crime little
short of highway robbery to refuse food
to one who asked for it, the gate is now
barred and the bulldog loosed, while
laws are passed against Migrants which
suggest those of Henry VIII.
We call ourselves the most pros ressive
people on earth. But what is the goal
of our progress, if these are its wayside
fruits?-Progress and Poverty.

Keen the Passions In Check.

An old man was once walking with Il
little boy. They came across four
shrubs. The old man said to his youth
full companion:
Pull up the least one"
lie obeyed with ease.
Nov the next"
He obeyed, but it did not come so
easily.
.'And the third"
1t took all his strength to move its
roots. but he succeeded.
Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
trcm BILE; he could not move the roots.
They had gone strongly into the earth,
and no effort could dislodge them.
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth:
This, my son, is just what happens
with our passions. When they are
young and weak one may, by little
watchfulness over self and the help OF
little self-denial, easily tear them up:
but if we let them cast their roots deep
into our souls, there is no human power
can uproot them. For this reason, my
child, watch well over the first move
ments of your soul, and study, by acts
of virtue, to keep your passions well in
check. '-Golden Days.

Hot water for cows" is the maxim
of the French dairy farmers in the
Department Of Finisterrc. They claim
to have proved by experiments that
when cows drink hot water they yield

are refreshed with cold water only.
The proportions arc said to be half a

cow likes. then when she puts her head
in the stanchion in her own place she

A mineral discovery of unusual value
is reported from Kamouraska, in low.

the London Times states that an entire
mountain has been found composed Of
silicates, otherwise known as vitritiable
stone Of a purity certified by the
provincial engineer to average ninety
eight per cent. This material is used
for the manufacture Of the finest glass
and is believed to exist nowhere else on
the American continent in such purity.
The provincial government has been
asked by deputation to guarantee four
per cent. interest for ten years on

to develope the new industry, and has
promised to consider the request if the

CHAPTER XVI.


"Have you heard the news, Frank?"
Nothing special. What has happened,
Colonelo"
General Rosecrans is relieved from
the command, and Thomas takes his
place"
You don't say SO. Well, hope our
old leader does not leave us under a
cloud; for though he made bad break
at Chickamauga, his has been no mean
record"
He has been given nominal COM
mand in Missouri" was the significant
reply.
Ito let him down easy. Well, all
cs,n say is that those newspaper fellows
have too much license. and can hound q
man to ruin, if he makes . mistake
once in lifetime"
But General Rosecrans has made
many mistakes of late"

and /, for one, am sorry he is going.

time, the whole Western region had

and Tennessee, and Grant had been ap-
