Negotiations had been in progress for
some time looking to the hiring of a
steamer to connect with the rev boat.
1t appears the U. p. got wind of it, as

purchased The boat and tied her up.
This was to be expected. Any body who
imagines Jay Gould is asleep will get
badly fooled. The company will un-
doubtedly fight the opposition to the
bitter end, but a boat will be secured in
the long run even if one has to be built
for the purpose, and when the portage is

Peat, used for fuel from the earliest
times. and long known to be of great
value as a fertilizer, now finds so many
other applications that its preparation
has developed into an industry. Peat
powder is serviceable, not only about
stables but elsewhere, on account of its
absorbent and somewhat antiseptic prop
critics and low cost. A French surgeon
introduced this powder, treated with an
tiseptic solutions and contained in cloth
bag, as a dressing for wounds. The idea,
said to be a very old one among the work
ing people of some places, was improved
upon by another medical man of Paris,
DIR. Redon, who made a soft and pliable
wadding of peat Other dressings have
since crowded these out of hospitals,
though the peat applications are coming
into use and gaining in favor among vet,
erinary surgeons. DIR. Redon's wadding
has yielded important results by leading
to many efforts to produce woven fab
rics. so that peat is now made into mat
tresses. coverings, carpets, ETC., which
are esteemed on account of their power
of absorption.-Iron-

SINGLE TAX AGAIN.

If Mr. Yates should write forever he
will never convince us that it is right to
allow the rich owner of personal prop
erty to escape taxation and place ali the
burdens upon the land owner. The thing
1s not right and no argument can make
it right. The CHRONICLE does not dis
pute the justice of taxing the g unearned
increment" of lands, but there are other
unearned increments" besides these.
Any speculation that results profitably
is all unearned increment beyond the
mere value of the labor bestowed in
making the investment. 1t is no more
right to tax piece of land according to
the value that has accrued by reason of
the influx of population then it is to tax
the profits of a lucky speculation in wheat
or pork. The profits of both beyond a
fair interest on the money invested and
the cost of time and labor in making the
Investment, are unearned increment and
should alike be taxed. The community,
though in different WAYS, created the in
crease of values and the community is
as much owner of the increase of wheat
or pork as it is of land. To say that
stockman should not be taxed " because
he is engaged in the meritorious business
of raising food for society is sophistry.
The farmer is engaged in the same bus
mess. Why therefore, should he be
taxed and the stockman GO free? 1t is
poor rule that won't work both ways.
But it is idle to discuss the single-tax
theory any farther. The CHRONICLE has
two insuperable objections to it. 1t be-
lieves in system of taxation that shall
be equal and uniform, "a system that will
lay the burdens incident to government
the poor mans field, system that shall
tax poor and rich in proportion to their
poverty or wealth. No system that pro-
poses 20 lay all the burden upon land
and allow everything else to go free can
ever accomplish this. But there is an
other objection still greater. The single
tax theory is simply the entering wedge
of socialism which is the practical con-
fiscation of all property rights and which
in turn is but the prelude of anarchy.
This is by no means saying that all
theorists are communists. We
simply assert that their doctrine leads in
that direction. To say that the value
the community has given to land belongs,
not to the private owner, butto the COM
munity is socialism pure and simple,
and nothing else. If it belongs to the
community there is an end to private
ownership. The next step is confisca-
tion, and the next anarchy, and the next
national death.

An alarming epidemic Of pessimism
has lately seized a large class of political
reformers. With them the country is
rapidly drifting into anarchy and ruin.
The poor are becoming poorer and the
rich richer. Labor is no longer profit
able and nothing but gaunt starvation
and nakedness stare the millions of toll
els in the face. The lands, the natural
heritage of the people are mortgaged be-
yond redemption and the people, them
selves, are taxed beyond endurance and
ground under the heels of monied
oligarchy that threatens, at no distant
day to swallow the nation bodily. These
be the terms of their rhetoric and these
their methods of appeal. Meanwhile
lions manage to get three square meals
day with an occasional desert of straw
berries and cream. Alas that out here
on the Pacific coast we should be so
blinded to our true condition that we
should never have known thai we were
starving and naked if somebody had not
told us! The facts simply are there is

mighty to equal the United States for q
poor man, and there is no part of the
United States to equal the Pacific coast.
No country on earth is destitute of q
poverty prosperity cannot reach and
legislation cannot prevent. The wisest
forethought cannot provide for success
sion of crop failures, wholly attributable
to natural causes, nor can the best legisla-
tion increase the value of a product when
there is surplus upon thesmarket. If
we have wrongs through the natural
greed and oppression of the monied
power, as we. undoubtedly have, the
method of avenging them is within our
grasp. The ballot box is the great recti-
: fer of all political and economic wrongs
and a united people can soon strike off
the fetters of oppressien.v

Greedy Foreirner..

All excursionists agree as to the avid
ity with which those ''furriners' seize
on to good, hard, honest American gold.
A Springfield man was bargaining for a
parrot in a Havana bird store. The price
was set at seventeen dollars, but the
dealer shaded it down, a few dollars at
a time. Finally the American took out
a United States FIVE dollar gold piece,
remarking that he would give 80 much
and no more. The dealer clutched the
coin, and passed over the parrot, cage
and all, before the gay bird could wink.

A Train Problem.

It is seldom indeed that the following
question is answered correctly offhand:
A train starts daily from San Fran
cisco to New York and one daily from
New York to San Francisco, the journey
lasting five days How many trains will
a traveller meet in journeying from New
York to San Francisco?
About ninety nine persons out of a
hundred would say five trains, as mat
ter of course. The fact is overlooked
that every day during th Journey fresh
train is starting from the other end, while
there are five trains on the way to begin
with. Consequently the traveller will
meet not five trains but ten.-New York

England is in many respects the most
certain cla,s of politicians are wont to
point to the laboring classes as being in
as good, if not a better condition than
those of the United States. OF course
nobody believes this but the pretention
to believe it is made Notwithstanding.
Not long ago an inquiry by select COM
mittee revealed the appalling fact that
forty five per cent. of all the rural labor
ers who reach the age of sixty become
chargeable to the parish, and at a meet
ing of the National Provident League,
held abont three weeks ago Mr.. Cham
berlain M. P. stated his conviction that
one of every two workmen, if he lives to
be sixty years old, is almost certain to
have to come upon the poor law for his
subsistence. This excessive proportion
of poverty cannot be attributed to i'm
providence alone. A London paper COM
menting on these facts says: 1t is
difficult for the average working man
earning, say pound week $50 to save
any substantial sum-" and urges some
well considered scheme of national in
surance for the thousands of self respect
ing poor who have a deep-rooted aver
sion to parish relief. What a contrast
such state of affairs presents to the
laboring classes of the United States.
