Canadian Single Taxses Going Into
Politics.

Kingston single takers may put .
Henry George candidate in the field at
the next Dominion election. They
have called a meeting to consider the
propriety of doing SO.
The single tax may be robbery or
confscation or anything else its oppo-
nents may call it, but the question has
come to stay and public educators can
no longer afford to ignore it, Not only
so, they will have to study it, and that
is just what the majority of it's detract-
orr has not done. The man who pre-
sumes to publicly discuss the question
without first reading Progress and
Poverty" will not add to his reputation
for wisdom. Hamilton Ont, Times.

A Fighting Minister.

A very sensational knock down oc-
Cured here the other day. Rev. U.
o. Branch, of the Second Baptist
Church, il widower. His daughter,
pretty girl nearly sixteen years Of
age, keeps house for bin.
Some time ago Mr.. Branch bought
a Bible from the representative Of a
Nashville publishing house, to be paid
for in instalments. To-day q burly
collector, who signs bis name w: Il.
Evans, went to the preachers house
to collect dollar.
The girl, annie, came to the door.
He ascertained by inquiry that she
was alone, and tried to crowd his way
in, and at the same time grossly in
suited her. She managed to shut and
lock the door.
A few minutes later Evans found
Rev. Mr.. Branch at a blacksmith
shop near by and collected the dollar
While the receipt was being made
out Annie appeared and told her
father that the man had insulted her
and related the circumstances. The
preacher stepped before Evans, say
ing:
Young man, I'm q minister.
Every day I read from that book,
but no place does it tell one to have
mercy on q scoundrel like you. You
have tried to ruin the honor of my
child. You're a stencil in the nostrils
of God and man; prepare yourself"
Instinctively the burly agent threw
up his guard, but the preacher landed
with a right-hander like a pile driver
on. his cheek, breaking his jaw and
knocking out several molars.
Evans measured his full length on
the pavement, but sprang to his feet
quickly and ran to the river only
square away, followed closely by the
preacher. When he reached the
waters edge and could run no farther,
he fell on BIS knees, threw up his
hands and begged for mercy. Rev.
Mr.. Branch had no weapon. and
would not strike the man on bis knees,
but seizing him BY the collar, brought
him back to the young girl, and in
the presence of hundreds who had
gathered made him beg her pardon
on his knees. Evans promised with
fearful .protestation never.to be guilty
Of such work again, thanked the
preacher for knocking him down,
toek his hand in professed repentance,
promised to meet him in heaven, and
was allowed to go on his way.
The people here are sorry Rev. Mr..
Branch didn't finish his job as he
usually does, with baptism and im-
mersion.
