L. J. w. Wall and Festus j. Wade
bought the southeast corner of Twelfth
and Locusts streets in st. Louis, in Sep
TENDER, 1887, for $4,000. They sold it
to J.W. Sullivan for $44, 500 four months
later, and a few days ago Sullivan sold
it to H. H. Culver for s6s, $50. The lot
is 76x100 feet and has never been inn
proved. No act of Wallis, Wade's or
Sullivan's added dollar to the value Of
the land. 1t was the growth and i'm

the site s24, $50 more costly in February,
1892, than four years before. The COM

A correspondent of the Wagga Hum.
mer, leading labor union paper Of
Australia. insists that, if the 'unearneA
increment" of land belongs to the
people, all other 'unearned increments"
do also; and, inasmuch as ''the commu-
nifty creates the value of socks, boots,
etc., as we'll as the value of land" that
the community has the right to the one
rs well as to the other. This way of
putting it would doubtless delight the
heart of our good friend Prof. Seligman,
of Columbia college; but the Hummer,
with we'll feigned caution, asks its corr
respondent to tell it what is the
''unearncd increment" of pair of socks
six months in use! Thus are the best
woven theories of culture torn into
shreds by the gibes and sneers of the
lower classes.-The Standard.

Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure .soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues Of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting

1T SEEMS TO GROW.
The AntI-Hm Sentiment Gaining Ground
I'm New York-The Plan Proposed

In New York-Ths Plan Proposed.
New YORK, February 23.-Nearly all
the members of the Anti-Snap Conven-
tion Committee of fifty returned from
Albany last night. This morning they
were in a cheerful mood. The
leaders are confident that the
proposed State Convention at
Syracuse, on May 81, will be recog-
nized as the real convention and that
its delegates will be admitted to the
National Convention. In few weeks
the Provisional State Committee will
enter into full State Committee and
all the regular Democratic methods will
be followed in the arrangements for the
convention.
Ex-Mayor VIM. B. Grace, who pro-
tested before the Hill State Committee
yesterday against the holding Of the
convention I'm mid-winter, is enthusi-
astic over the work of the committee OF
fifty and its allies at Albany. He said
to-day: Il knew before l went to AL
bany that there was widespread OppoSi-
tion TO the snap methods of the
State Committee, but had no idea OF
the opposition until l had met repre-
sentative Democrats from all parts Of
the State l sm now convinced that
our State Convention will be more truly
reoreSeI tltive OF the Democrats Of the
State than the Snap Convention Of yes
terday was.
The meeting at Union Hall issued a
call for a convention on the ground that
q party'S power springs directly from
the people, and il is proposed TO make
an enrolment of the Democrats in the
various towns and counties and have
them ask for State convention TO be held
on May 81. Then the primaries for
the election of delegates will be held.
In this way the convention will be abSo-
lutely regular. 1t will spring from the
people, and its strength will be shown
by the number OF men who join the en-
rollment.
1T appears to us that no National
Convention could possibly refuse to ad-
NIT men who are sent there by Demo
cratic convention, called at the request
of Democrats of the State, and showing
the numerical strength which our en-
rolment will develop"
An evening paper says: SIN private
conversation the Tammany men them
selves express doubt that Hill will be
nominated at Chicago and they no
longer deride the anti-Snap Convention
movement, The general sentiment OF
the Tammany men seemed TO be en-
embodied in this sentence: while Hill
is the choice Of our convention ! doubt
If he will be nominated. We are will
ing TO win with Hill but we are not pre-
pared TO 90 down with him."

DETROIT, Mich, February e3.-Mr.
Cleveland's special train arrived back
from Toledo at 2:I5 this afternoon.
Governor Winans and staff, acting May
or Coots and the City Council were pres
ent 10 officially receive the distinguished
guest. The Fourth regiment was drawn
up In front Of the station. Acting
Mayor Coots In short address present
ed Mr.. Cleveland with handsomely en-
crossed set OF resolutions unanimously
adopted by tho Common Council, to-
gether with the freedom OF the city.
Mr.. Cleveland responded in few
sentences. Governor Winans and Mayor
Coots then escorted Mr.. Cleveland 10 n
carriage and were driven TO Hon. Don
NJ. Dickinson's residence. As early as
o'clock crowds began TO gather In the
vicinity of the Hotel Cadillac, where
the public reception TO Mr.. Cleveland
was held. BY 7:30 some 10000 people
were massed In the streets around the
Cadillac.
The reception began at 7;i5. Gov
ernor Winans and stan were the first 10
pass before the receiving party. Tho
general public was soon admitted and
passed In constant stream before the
ex-President until 1890 p. m. Mr..
Clev eland cordially grasped the hand Of
each, and at the close Of the reception
il was estimated that at least $4,000
people bad passed before him.
A noticeable incident OF the evening
wds the presentation of General Algcr
and Senator Dolph. The line was
broken for few moments while tho
ex-Presideut and General Alger er-
changed courtesies amid a scene OF
great enthusiasm. An amusing Incl
dent and one that caused considerable
laughter was the vain endeavor Of All

making itself manifest, and the infuen-
tal and upright men who are concerned
in it need not wonder that the general
public cannot understand how IL hap
pens that decent Democrats who were
not excited at all by the seat stealing
conspiracy were so dreadfully moved
because a convention was held rather
earlier than is customary.
Their indignation against him does
them credit but is rather belated and is
open TO the criticism Of lacking trst
rate moving cause. However, II they
only have the necessary courage and
wisdom the anti-Hillites can atone Tor
the past by making the most OF their
present opportunities. 1t they force
the fight they can speedily destroy Hill
as q Presidential possibility"
The Herald says: "Mr. Hill has nan
died the situation with consummate
tactical shrewdness. He holds New York
State, or at least he thinks he does, In
his fist, aud although the delegates were
not specially instructed TO vote for him
at Chicago they knew perfectly we'll
that they would not have been CHOSEN
except on that condition.
"But yesterdays convention empha-
sized the fact that New York State Is
very badly split. Hill has the machine
without a doubt, but a very large num-
Der Of Democrats are yet TO be convinced
shat he has the people. All this show
Of power is we'll enough in its way, but
the party of the State has very bitter
feud on its hands and the aggressive
policy OF Mr.. Hill has excited degree
of opposition which renders the vote OF
November uncertain for himself or
Cleveland.
"A Western man who has also the
respect of the South-a man like Wat
terson for rinstance-wIth Hill for second
place, would be certain to carry New
York and the country. The Democrats
of the State, now divided into factions
and losing no opportunity to knock each
other out, would unite on such ticket
and carry the banner to undoGbted vic
tory"
The World says: 1.-THE February
point in this game Of politics has been
scored as every one fOresaw that it
would be il the early convention were
persisted in. But what about the far
greater contest in June.
Senator Hill has delegation from
one State. But there are forty-three
other States yet 60 be heard from, and
.even in two months from now the seal
fight for the nomination will be hardly
begun.
Senator Hill has secured delega-
tion, four months, seventeen weeks,
100 days in advance Of the national
convention. What has he got, what
will he do with it, or what will it do, OF
and for itself.
at can hardly be corralled and ship
ped to Chicago TO await the meeting OF
the great convention, though the haste
with which it was snapped up might
suggest such policy.
"The delegates cannot be forbidden
to read the newspapers until after they
have voted, like the jurors in capital
case. A great many things are liable
TO happen and are quite certain to hap
pen during the next four months which
will materially influence and probably
determine the choice Of Democratic
candidate for President.
