State Ownership Of Land.


James A. Bradley, the founder OF As
bury Park, is going to sell the whole OF
the beach there to the town for $3.50, 900.
He says he could have obtained larger
sum for it, but he accepted Henry
Georges theory and wants the town to
become the owner Of the property. He
does not, however, intend to sell the
rest of his land; as he can not become .
martyr to the cause and undertake, all
alone, to inaugurate the progress OF
transferring land to the State, though
he thinks the State ought to own the
land. If Mr.. Bradley understood the
Single Tax theory fully he would find
that individual action in the line indi-
Gated is not required and that it is not
necessary or even desirable that the
State shall town" the land. The George
theory contemplates permanent private
possession, conditioned on the payment
to the State of the value OF the oppOr-
tunity thus held by an individual. The
best thing that man like Mr.. Bradley
can do is to use any surplus income he
derives from land-holding toward aid
| ing the movement that will give to the
public the income derived from land.

Mems Manners.

"Men's behavior" observes Bacon,
''should be, like their dress, not too
strait or point-device, but free for eXer-
else or motion" There can be no genial
fellowship between affable, courteous
people and your stiff backed Journalist;
while the intercourse of the latter with
one another is necessarily dull and
dreary to the last degree. They can no
more enjoy society in their strait-jack-
cts of cold reserve, than wretch in
the stocks could enjoy the hilarity of
the crowd around him. Whoever desires
to make friends should be cordial and
conciliatory. Nobody cares for auto
matte men and women who seem to go
by clock-work, and to want oiling at
that. The error of utter unreserve
should be avoided, too. 1t is less re-
pu1sive than it's opposite, but it does in
fnitely more mischief. A man had bet.
ter seal up his thoughts and feelings in
his own breast than sputter them forth,
in season and out of season, to every
body he meets. Such incontinency Of
speech is sure to make the person guilty
of it unpopular, and to create genera
embarrassment and alarm in the circle
in which he moves.--N. Y. Ledger.

Taxation in Germanys

The latest improvement in legislation
proposed by the Emperor William II.
of Germany is in the line of taxation.
He proposes to remit a part or all OF
the income tax in the case of men whose
incomes are less than $3.50 year,
the remission being in proportion to the
number of children such men have; SO
that man who has Ave or six children
is to pay no income tax at all. But a.
Germany is not troubled with q surplus
in the treasury, the Emperor proposes
to increase the income tax in the case
of those whose incomes are more than
$3.50 year. 1t is not necessary to say
that this latter part of the proposition
is meeting with vigorous opposition. 1t
would, indeed, be most unheard OF
thing if an income tax really were made
to bear heavily on the rich. There is
said to be a chance that the Emperor
will dissolve Parliament and appeal to
the country on this issue, in case his
views are not legislated into effect.
Emperor William has evidently got
clear and correct ideas on one import
ant phase of the taxation problem. He
thinks children are a good thing, and
he therefore proposes to so regulate tax
alton as to encourage the increase OF
| population. Now, when the Emperor
sees that wealth is good thing, we
may expect to see him regulate taxa,
ton SO as to encourage the increase o.
wealth, which means, Of course, thai

Children and Trade.

ssDon't the children bother us?" said
Felix street merchant in response to
a question. s'Oh, little, of course,
but it pays to have patience with them.
Once enlist the children's trade and you
have that of their parents. You re-
member that school-master who said
that he ruled the village because he
ruled the children, arguing that they
ruled their mothers, who in turn ruled
their husbands2 Well, there is great
deal of truth in that. A great many
good retail businesses have been built
up by attention to what you might call
the children trade. They make free
with every thing about the store, to be
sure, and get in your way, or romp, but
l tell you it pays to humor them. II
you treat them roughly you can recon
cile yourself to the fact that you lose
that family's trade. The youngsters
never forget that sort of thing. If you
want to ruin good business the safest
way is to let the boys understand that
they are tolerated only when they have
business and no longer. More than one
house has queered itself in that way
Give me store where the children
come in and just act as if they owned
it, and I'll bet that place is making

pers are constantly teeming with re-
ports of business failures in every line.
while landlords who hold tightly to
natural opportunities are fattening on
''unearned increment"
But perhaps it is the American wage
worker whose condition is superb. "
Let us look into his condition little,
and see. / have been doing
little figuring in that direction
and the result is as follows:
Over against the popular fallacy that
the wage-worker can, If he will, by his
own efforts, become millionaire, and
thus be able to purchase seat in the
United States Senate, we find the cold
fact that the average pay of the Amer
lean wage-worker is only one dollar
day. On this basis, If he lives like Is
Chinaman, is never i'll. indulges in no
holidays, and works S13 days in the
year for 100 years, he can accumulate
the princely sum of $1,000. To become
millionaire he would have to live, and
toll, aud economize in the same way for
1900 years. Is not the outlook glori-
GUS?
But perhaps Mr.. Depew, in character
izing the condition of the american
people" did not really refer to the mass
es. He must have had in mind only
select few superb" souls like Gould,
whose income is $1,000 day; Wander
bilt. whose daily revenue is $4,000;
Rockefeller, whose personal receipts are
SIS, 900 day; Astor, whose earnings"
are S23, 900 day. And very likely he
also included the twenty-four United
States Senators whose wealth aggre-
gates S153, ,0OO, 900; and few other mon
eyed aristocrats who, in becoming i'm
mensely rich, have compelled thousands
to become wretchedly poor. Men who,
taking advantage of bad social sys-
tenn, have trampled on human rights,
subsidized the press, corrupted the
courts, put justice in irons and crowded
industry to the wall. Yes, ] see! The
condition of those men is superb
viewed without reference to the great
hereafter But they are not the "Amer-
lean people" Mr.. Depew, and you know
it. And when you told your European
cronies that the people Of this country
were in superb condition." you were
either ignorant of the facts or you de-
liberately lied. Such talk is a cruel
mockery, for which you ought to hide
your face in shame.
In conclusion would add this pre-
diction: There must be change for
the better in your social system, and
that soon We all hope the change may
come through peaceful methods; but
come it must.-Ralph E. Hoyt.

AS HEROES DIE.
An Incident of Famous Sea Fight of the
Rebellion.

An Incident OF q Famous Sea Fight OF the
Rebellion.
The famous naval duel between the
Kearsarge and the Alabama was fought
in the English channel off Cherbourg,
on the 18th of June, 1864. DR.. John NJ.
Browne, in his description of the battle,
in BATTLES and Leaders of the Civil
War;" makes special mention of one OF
the heroes of the contest, an ordinary
seaman on board the Kearsarge. His
name was William Gouin, and deserve
to be remembered. He died in the hos
pital three days after the fight. Says
Doctor Browne:
His behavior during and after the
battle was worthy of the highest praise.
He was stationed at the after pivot
gun, and was seriously wounded in the
leg by the explosion of a shell. In
agony, and exhausted from the loss of
blood, he dragged himself to the for
ward hatch, and concealed the severity
of his injury, in order that his comrades
might not leave their station for his as
sistance.
the care of the surgeons. When he re-
VIVID he greeted the surgeon with a
smile, saying: Doctor, can fight no
more, and so come to you. But it is all
right am satisfied, for we are whip
ping the A Alabama."
Afterward he said: Il will willingly
lose my leg, or my life, if it is neces-
sary.'
AS he lay upon his mattress he paid
attention to the fight, so far as it could
be known by the sounds Oh the deck,
and his face showed satisfaction when
ever the cheers of his shipmates were
heard. With difficulty he waved his
hand over his head and joined in each
cheer with a feeble voice.
When a wounded shipmate COM
planned, he reproved linn, saying: "Am
l not hurt worse than you? and am
satisfied, for we are whipping the Ala
bama."
Directly after the enemys wounded
were brought on board he desired the
surgeon to pay him no further atten-
tion. He was ''doing well, he said, and
all aid should be given to 1.-THE poor fell
lows of the Alabama"
In the hospital he was patient and
resigned, and happy in speaking of the
victory.
"This man, so very interesting by his
courage and resignation wrote the
French surgeon-in-chief, received gen.
eral sympathy; all desired his recovery
and lamented his death"
| At dinner given by loyal Americans
in Paris to Captain Winslow and two Of
his officers, a telegram was received an
nouncing the death of Gouin. His name
was honorably mentioned, his behavior
eulogized.-Youth's Companion.

When SO employed they are often with

Weary of preserved timed and salted

fortunately getting a favorable wind,
sailed eight miles ashore to the nearest
village in quest of something fresh
to eat. AS in their inquiries about
food they were rather rlldely treated
by the Royal Mace-bearer and Sword
bearer, they resolved to repair to the
palace, where they encountered a young
lady who had next to nothing on, but
who inspected the white men critically

They were courteously received by
the King, who spoke English, and was

Hospitality agreed to assist in drinking
the whisky contained in a bottle which
he had observed protruding from one OF

messenger to scour the village for pro.

The man eventually returned with
three "West Coast" fowls, about the
size of house-sparrows. For these they
had to pay about sixty-tive cents each
the estimated value of half a piece, o.
trade cloth, and then sailed wearily
back to their ship with their booty.-N
