JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY"
The Single-Tax Theory Presented
by Ralph E. Hoyt.

Ralph Z. Hoyt of Los Angeles delivered
the third of his lectures in this city under
the auspices of the Single-taX Society ut Y.
NJ. c. A. Hail last night, his subject being
Justice, Not Charity" After a few intro
dnctory remarks by the President of the
evening, Wallace Gallagher, and devoted to
review of the inception and progress of
the single-tax theory, the speaker of the
evening was introduced.
The position taken by MIR. Hoyt was that
the present desideratum is system of laws
insuring equal justice to all, the rich and
the poor alike. Under existing circnm-
stances all who depend upon labor for their
subsistence are placed in the light of seek
ers for charity. So many are the poor as
compared with the rich, and so great is the
breach between the two that the former are
gradually becoming a despised class.
Their position is even inferior to that of
those who seek livelihood through trade,
the one diSp0sing his wares at his own
price. the other selling his labor al the price
of the buyer. The natural consequence OF
these conditions is the prevalence of vast
number OF people subSisting by charity, al
though capable of providing for themselves
were the opportunity offered. The dep1or-
able and perniclous effects of system which
neeessltateS the support of able-bodied men
were ointed out, and with these premises
the speaker proceeded 10 diIate upon the
popular fallacy that poverty is a necessity,
and its adjnncts unreasonable prejudice
against reforms aud blind antagonism to
The present cnmmon-SenOOl system.
The lecturer concluded from these facts
that but one remedy to the evil exists, and
that radical uprooting OF the present so
cal system and the Institution of new
one, insuring just legislation and laws and a
cue regard to the interests of the people as
whole, rather than to those of certain
privileged class In the practical applica-
ton of the theory of the single tax the de-
sIrable CHANGE has 10 be looked for.

THREE MEN AND A BRICK.
The Brick Was Copper and the he
Were Sold.

The Brick Was Copper and the Men
Were Sold.
Everybody knows Tom Fitch, "the silver
tongued, whose oratory has kept his purse
well lined with silver. And everybody
knows Captain Friend, the 10 yable news
paper man of San Diego, who looks 16 but
who is nearly 60. And everybody of course
knows W. r. Howard of tho city of bayn'
climate, who owns the Cedros Islands
mines, and once was newspaper man, but
now is a millionaire. But everybody did
not know that these three sharp men could
be worSted on the old gold-brick scheme
yet such is the story that blew up FROM
Oceanslde yesterday. Some time ago it was
reported that a passenger from San Diego,
who man aged to get out of that town with
$500 in gold and drafts for 5000, had been
robbed while at supper at the ST. Cloud
Hotel, at Oceanside. Ii is now stated by
Oceanside persons that this story was all
mistake. and that the true facts ara as
follows:
Some weeks ago mysterious stranger
called on Captain Friend, In San Diego. and
offered to sell him Il gold brick for $4,000
The Captain knows thing OF TWO, and in
tlmated that he was not born yesterday, if
he does look infantile. The stranger offered
to.submit the brick to the most severe test.
Captain did not have $1,000 in his pocket.
that morning. 1t just happened that way, as
il sometimes does with Journalists, SO he
naturally went to Tom Fitch and w. r.
Howard and let them in on the ground floor.
The brick was filed and tested, aud ut iast
taken to q reputable assayer in San Diego,
who pronounced it solld and genuine. Alter
considerable dickering the syndicate offered
$3.50 tor the gold, which was accepted.
Now" said the mysterious stranger,
eve will complete the deal al 0ceauside,
where the north and south bound trains meet
and walt for supper, for it is necessary for
me to get out of the country"
This was agreed to and the company jonr-
neycd to Oceanside, where the brick and the
$3.50 changed hands. Captain Friend
packed it over to the st. Cloud Hotel, aud
the trio gloated on 1t for while. Tom Fitch
knows more about silver than gold and jus.
to satisfy little lurking fear that he had
he pulled out small bottle of acid from his
pocket and let drop fall ON the precious
brick. 1t sizzled and smoked. Then there
was walling and crashing OF teeth and
strong language. The genuine brick had
been changed for one made of copper. How
was it done? No sOne but the operator
knows, and he has not as yet told. Fortu-
nateIy for Mr.. fitch. political campaigns
come around very frequently, and Mr.. How
ard will soon recoup himself out OF his
Cedros mine and Captain Friend of course,
will make up his SS33b very soon, for he Is

USED A WEIGHT.

GottIieb Bay Batters His Brother Albert
and Is Arrested.
The Bay Brothers Bakery, at 121 Sixth
street, was the scene of a fight between
them yesterday morning. Gotteb is a
middle and Albert heavy weight, and it
was not long until Gottlieb saw he was
coming out second best" He then took
up pound weight TO make the fight
more even, and gave his brother several
hard hits with it. Albert went to the
Police Court and made oath to a complaint
charging Gottlieb with assault with u deadly
weapon, aud later in the day the latter was
arrested by Officers Hayes and Harris. The
quarrel is one of long standing. and has been
the result of almost daily misunderstanding.

Mrs. Meas, of Charleston, the woman
who is parting with her bones, says she
suffers no pain and little inconvenience
from her affection. She simply sheds
the bones piece by piece, and then by
some mysterious physiological process
replaces them by hardening of the
muscles, so that she really doesn't miss
her bones at all. That is the way with
a woman. She takes things as they
come and parts with them as they go,
and doesn't let it disturb her at all.

FOSTER AND LABOR MEN.
The Secretary Claims an Agree
mcnt Was Stolen.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secretary
Foster said this morning that the state
ment that a letter was in existence,
written by him, offering the Knights OF
Labor their Old places in the bureau of
Engraving and Printing was true. The
letter was not delivered to the Knights
of abor, but was taken from his desk
in the treasury department while the
representatives of the Knights of Labor
were there or shortly after their de
Darture. The circumstances attending
the writing of the agreement. as given
bfi Secretary Foster, are as follows:
Several agreements were drawn up
by me and read to Messrs. Devlin and
Cavanaugh. None suited them, and the
several documents were upon my desk
when the delegation of the Fedora
ton of Labor arrived. They entered
a protest against putting the discharged
Knights of Labor men ahead of the Hen
on the chance list, and ahead of fifteen
apprentices who, by the rules of the
bureau, were entitled to presses. The
new addition to the bureau has made
room for fifty additional presses. For
the first time learned that the appren-
tees must have fifteen presses. This lett
thirty-five | had agreed to put six of
these discharged men OF the Knights or
Labor at those thirty-five presses, when
the federation men said there were more
than thirty-five men on the chance roll
entitled to the presses. All this time
several discarded agreements laid
upon my table. When the dele
cations of labor men left, one
of the signed discarded agreements dis
appeared. That agreement used the
words: Unemployment" not in
their own places, but on the new
presses. In regard TO the let
ter to Jordan, a discharged printer,
who has since become a saloOnkeeper,
the Knights of Labor got letter from
me with the distinct understanding that
he would decline the preferred place.
This was done to tickle Jordan and to
remove him from the controversy.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The secretary
of the treasury received a letter this
morning from Grand Master Workman
Powderly, Knights of Labor, reviewing
the case of the discharged plate printers
in about the same tone as his statement
to the public, and in addition, intimat-
ing, so it is said, that the Knights of
Labor will appeal the ease to the presi-

Special to the Globe.
Browns VALLEY, Mimi, July s.
Twelve hundred or more Sissetons are
encamped near this city with their live
stock under guard. They came here to
celebrate the Fourth with the whites.
People are coming in from far and near,
literally crowding the town. The In
dams are to appear in their ancient cos
tunes and with painted faces to
engage in their wild marches,
dances and other games of amuse-
ment. Among other exciting scenes
will be Prof. Eddy's ascension in a
balloon. Business men donated to the
Indians fifteen beeves. thirty-fye humid
red pounds of flour and plentiful sup
ply of sugar, coffee ana tobacco, and
they are merry over their prospective
feast of fat things.
