SICKLES AND HARRISON.

Signi ficant Advice to the Veterans at
Washington.
The Republican National Committee
are giving out two letters, one of which
is written by General Sickes, which
taken in connection with the speech
which he made at the Washington en-
campment, is thought to mean that he
will support President Harrison. In
the Washington speech, after saying
that the soldiers earned all the persion
money received, he said, speaking to his
comrades.
You are going home now, and there
is something l want you to take home
with you. Ponder it, teach it to your
children, tell it to your neighbors. It is
this truth, that the people of the United
States will see that no man is ever
elected to an office of profit and trust
In this country who opposes the payment
of pensions to the soldiers Of the rebel.
lion.
Last Thursday General Charles H. T.
Coils sent General Sickles letter re-
ferring to this speech, in which he said:
"Your touching allusion to the domestic
affiiction of our comrade, the President
of the United States, was characteristic
of the affection you have ever manifested
for those who have served in the Union
army; while your appeal to. your audience
was to judge between the man who
risked his life for the Union and has
ever since espoused the honest cause of
the soldier, and the one who did neither
one nor the other, met with response
which clearly indicated how the veterans
of the Union army, irrespective of poll
tical ties, feel upon this subject"
General Collls expressed regret that
the speech was not published in full,
and asked him to put it in for all of the
comrades to see. To this General
Sickles made the following reply:

Dear General: The Washington Star

brief reports of our reunion, but the
arrangements made by the improved
committee were SO bad SO far as the

If the conclusions drawn by late ex-
perincnters are sound it would seem
that were an eel provided with an ap-
paratus to inject its own blood into Il
wound as the serpent injects his venom,
an eel in the mud would be even more
objectionable than a snake in the grass.
Prof. Masso. the Italian scientist, il
experimenting with the blood of GELS.
has discovered by injecting it under the
skin of rabbits. frogs, mice guinea
pigs. etc, that it IS Z rank poison, being
similar in action to the venom of snakes
of the viper kind. The vipcr's bite. it is
well known, causes death by para living
the action of the respiratory organs;
death from eel-b1ood poison is similar in
nearly every detail. In regard to the
cure of a person or animal in iected with
cells blood. Prof. Masso says thai stinu-
lants usually given are wholly useless,
and that the only hope of cure lies in
tracheotolny and the artificial pumping
of air into the lungs.-Detroit Free

Oatmeal may be cooked over Il quick
fire in only water enough to swell the
grain. Rice may be cooked very quickly
in boiling water for short time; the
proportion of water should be SO great as
to give each grain room to swell sep
arately. In dealing with the grains it
is a matter of taste or convenience
which plan of cooking is employed.
The roots confirming cellulose. especial
ly potatoes, customarily require high
er degree of heat than either meat or
grain in order to bake them thorough
ly. The scientific writer's on cookery
give preference to baked potatcs over
boiled on account of the retention of
the mineral salts, which are dissolved
in water. In boiling potatoes should be
subjected to a quick heat 50 rs to rup
ture or break the starch cells without
giving time to change the starch into
dextrine. Carrots. bectS and parSnips
may rightly be boiled. even though the
process deprives them of their very de-
cided flavor. They have SO much flavor
that they even may be improved in the
process of boiling. as the Norwcgians,
who live continually upon salmon, boil
it in order to deprive it of part Of its

Knights of Labor for the Single Tax

At the last meeting of the Minnesota
District Knights of Labor, III. Il. Mar
tin, president Minneapolis Single Tax
league, was elected district master
workman. and the following resolution
was made the principal plank of the
platform:
Whereas, All men have an inalienable
inheritance and right to share for use
of the earth. be it therefore
Resolved, 1st, That we request of the
legislature of Minnesota the passage of
laws that will increase the burden Of
taxation on all lands held out of use by
spectators, and corresponding de-
crease of the burden of taxes on all inn
proyements on land and products of III
Dor. in order, by this means, to discour-
age the holding of land out of use and
make it easier for those who wish to use
land to get access to it. BY this means
we shall decrease the number of unem-
ployed worl1men, and since it is the UNI
employed who keep down the wages OF
the employed, we would thus enable all
workmen to secure such increase OF
wages as would enable them to conn
rnand full earnings.

land, also gives value to labor products.
it is as unjust to apply the value of land
to public use as to apply the value OF
labor products to such use. This is the
familiar criticism that it is as unjust to
make land common property as to
make labor products common property.
How weak the criticism is may be seen
by reducing it to its lowest terms when
it would read: 1t is as unjust to make
land common property as to make Ia
Dor common property. Mr. Horrs pa
tience must have been exhausted and
his long study ended before he consid-
cred the fact the common and obvious
tact that advances in civilization con-
stantly tend to diminish the value of
la Dor products while they tend as con-
stantly to increase the value of land.
This tendency alone makes a distinc-
ton in justice between property in land
and property in the products of labor.
For by giving constantly to landowners
something that they do not earn, with
out giving to the owners of labor pro-
ducts anything that they do not earn
indeed, taking away from them an i'm
creasing part of what they do earn, for
the purpose of giving it to the owners
of land-it produces perennial confis-
cation of property of some for the BEN
eft of others
Neither could Mr.. Horr have consid-
cred the fundamental truth regarding
the difference between land values and
other values that labor products come
to the owners either by right of pro-
duction or by a title from the producer,
while land does not come to the owners
either by production or by purchase
from the producer, or in any other way
but by physical conquest or unjust
laws II he can not distinguish a differ
ence in the right of enjoyment be-
tween the value of property to which
the owners have no just claim superior
to their fellows, and that of property to
which they have the best of all titles
production, his case is hopeless. To
study any longer, even with the pa.
thence of Job, would be to him a
fruitless task, which he might better
abandon in favor of protection fables
and fallacies, which he is far more ex-
pert and quite as entertaining

Robert Tyson, in Progress, writing to
the Standard from Toronto, SAYS: 1t
was rousing meeting that gathered in
st. Andrews Hall upon a call of the
mayor in response to a requisition sign
ed chiefly by single tax men. Its object
was stated to be ''for the purpose Of
discussing a petition to the local legis-
lature praying that municipalities be-
granted the option of relieving from
taxation all buildings machinery, crops,
and other products of industry, and Of
raising their revenue by tax on the
value of land; or the option of raising
their revenue in any manner they may
deem best"
Alderman Carlyle, good single tax
man, presided. The meeting turned
out to be chiefly a labor meeting. The
Trades and Labor Council was repre-
scented by T. w. Banton, it's president,
and +. C. Cribben, it's secretary. The
district assembly of the Knights Of
Labor was represented by David Carey,
the president, and Robert Glackling,
the secretary. Three of these gentle
men spoke heartily and well in favor of
the main resolution, which was as fol-
| lows:
Resolved, That this meeting is Of
opinion that it would be greatly in the
public interest to grant to municipali-
ties the option of relieving from taxa
| ton all buildings, machinery, crops,
| and other products of industry; and of
| raising their revenue by tax on the
values of land, or the option of raising
| their revenue in any manner they may
deem best; and that this meeting heart
lily indorses the recent action of the
executive committee of the Toronto
city council, in conference with the
local members of the Ontario legisla-
ture, asking legislative powers for the
city of Toronto in the above direction.
Alfred Jury, Alderman George s.
Macdonald, w. A. Douglas, S. II. Wool.
Stewart Lyon, David Boyle and others
spoke. The speeches were straight to
the point, and elected frequent ap-
plause. The resolution was passed
amid rousing cheers and by a standing
vote. The chairman had called for OBJ
jectors, but no one spoke.
All the Toronto daily papers had good
reports, and the temper of the meeting
may be judged from their remarks.
The World (Tory) said: est. Andrews
hall was like an ice BOX, and the audi
ence sat with top coats on, but nothing
could chill the enthusiasm of the single
takers" The Empire conservative or
gam said: after last nights meeting,
there can be no doubt that the single
tax question is live issue in Toronto"
should have mentioned that an event
of the evening was the frank announce
ment of Alderman George S. Macdonald
that he was a single taxer He said he
had come all the way from the other
end of the city to tell it to the meeting.
Alderman j. G. Orr also sent letter
expressing himself in favor of the OBJ
ject of the meeting: also Rev. John
Burton.
A deputation was appointed to wait
upon the city council and the provincial
legislature with the resolution.

course he treated her shamefully: but
she was in the end too much for him;
