Considering the fact that money is
scarce this year, it must be admitted
that an average of s14.O515 per acre for
these lands is not a bad price. 1t shows

that, Notwithstanding the drouth, Da.
kota lands are worth something.

AN exchange says: The single
tax, is tax, not on land, but on land
values. The single tax acknowledges
the righteousness of the private own.
ership of land, as the basis of family
life, of civil freedom, of civilization
and of progress. Most taxes can be
"sklfted" rnd thus ultimately fail on
the consumer. Men are thus tared,
not according to their abilities to pay
taxes, but according to their necessi-
ties. The poor are taxed more heav-
lily IN proportion to their means than
the rich. The single tax is the only
tax that cannot be shifted which is
adequate to the support Of govern
ment. The argument for the single
tax may be stated as follows: God
the paramour owner of all land, gives
1t to men, condltlonally, for the sup.
port Of population. "He made the
earth to be inhabited" Government,
Goods minister" should carry out this
purpose. so far as 1t can do so without
interfering with private. This it can
do best by the single tax on land val
aes, which will discourage the unpro-
ductive holding Of land, will afford
work for all willing to work, will
abolish all panperism Except what is
caused by individual idleness, lntem-
perance or sickness and will thus end
all the crime and unhelief that spring
from the poverty caused by law.

A DOTBLE TRAIToR.-We mingle
pity with contempt for any tusus na-
tire of the human species, who once

honor as to declare as Col. John R..
Fellows, District Attorney Of the City
of New York did, "that, although he
had been an officer in the Confederate
army, he bad always felt that he was
a traitor to the Federal government,
and that if be were caught he deserv-
ed to be hnng and that this was not
done, was due only to the beneticence
of the victorious government or the
mercy of God" Col. Fellows is an

means eventually reached the lucra-
tive position of States Attorney

with methods in dealing with crimi-
mails, particularly the "boodle Alder

He has now reached climax in the
contempt of Southern men, and if the
truth was told, of all Federal vete-
Ians, when he plays the Judas at this
remote day in order to pander to the
applause of a senseless rabble. Col.

In Baltimore last Sunday Miss Jean

were married by Rev. DR.. II. Hoch-

The nuptial ceremony was performed
at the residence of the brides mother,
Mrs. Z. E. Ries, 4S0 South Broad

travelling costume, with hat and
gloves to match. A banquet follow
ed the ceremony. Mr.. Elias E. Ries,

the entertainment a surprise to the

first course had been served the room,
to the surprise of the guests, was
plunged into semi darkness, when sud-

and four sons, and his parents have
never urged him to study, fearing that
his enthusiasm might overtax his

called Lionel, or Gerald, or Reginald.
His urnam may be Reresford, or
Ravenshoe, or Arundel.
Let these ingredients simmer slowly
for three weeks before a hot August
sun. At the end Of that time the artist
will be done brown, according to calcu-
lations made by the widow when she
took him to board.
Now, season to the taste with 4 little
