The bane of this Titanic monsters ex-

Progress of the Movement.

The activity Of Congressman john
son has already excited emulation in
Congress. Among the members who
received letters asking their support for
Johnson's single tax bill for the District
of Columbia was Congressman Busey,
who, in reply to one of his correspond
ents, said that he believed in the essen
tial justice of the single tax, but
thought it could not be fairly applied
to existing land titles. That is notion
of which he will soon be rid. Mean
time, however, he has introduced bill
III. r., 5s1D, for applying the principle
of common ownership to all public
lands. This bill provides for grant,
ing to the states and territories all
federal lands, except reservations and
land needed for public buildings, within
their respective borders, on condition,
among other things, that the states and
territories lease the same for cash
rentals, subject to revision at least once
every ten years, in which revision the
improvements made by the tenant shall
not be taken into account" Ten Per
cent. of the annual rentals is to be paid
into the federal treasury. The bill de-
clares further that all federal lands
shall henceforth be no longer subject to
sale, or to entry, settlement or occupa-
ton, except on lease as provided In the
bill. What magnificent country this
would be if such law had Neen In foroA

Pathetic Story of Two Comrades In a West
Mining Camp.

eTH
We always spoke of them as ''Our
.Jims." They were two of the best men
in camp. and best" meant a good deal
in those days. When the Orange gulch
men came over to jump our claim it
| was our two Jims who rallied US to
drive them off. leaving six dead men to
| be buried in the evening. When the
| toughs and rOughs of Old Mans Hill
| laid claim to our diggings and APP
| peared two to one to drive US off it was
| Our Jms again who led the van and en-
abled us to win the victory.
Jim who? Jim what? / do not know.
| No one but themselves knew. Now and
| then some miner gave his full name,
but we had no use for it. We were
Jim and Bill and Pete to each other,
and that alone.
Our .Jims were not quarrelsome men.
Big men and brave men never are. They
tented together and were ''pards," and
| how it came about that they fell out
none of us ever learned. One morning.
when they had been terminates for many
months. one Jim packed up and left
camp. lie had nothing to say-nothing
beyond the statement that Me and Jim
is out" The Jim who remained made no
statement whatever. Among ourselves
we said there had been a hot word
dropped and picked up just when both
men were out of sorts 1t was hard
work, that hunting for gold. We
| worked like slaves and lived far worse,
and terminates quarreled very often.
In day or two we saw that the Jim
who remained was troubled in his mind.
He had been too proud to hold out his
hand and ask the other Jim to stay, but
now it was hurting him. He grew sui
len and morose, and now and then he
paused in his work and looked up the
trail with a longing look in his eyes
a longing to see the other Jim returning
to camp. Five or six days had passed
when a Chinaman came into camp
with a note for Jim. 1t was written
with a blaclened stick on piece of
brown paper, and read:
Jim:-It's a case OF small pox, and / won't
ask you to come. It's Just to say I'm sorry we
fell out, and to bid you good-by JIM
1t took three or four of us half an
hour to make out the the badly written
and misspelled message, and when we
had finished our Jim walked away to
his tent and began to pack up. The
snow-clouds were banking up in the
west. and it was plain that bad storm
was at hand. The other Jim was TWEEN
ty-eight miles away, sick and alone in
a rude cabin at the abandoned Dig
gings of Crazy Woman's creek. The
trail led over the mountai in and through
valleys thick with scrub and rough
powders. and the Chinaman was COM
pletely broken down when he reached
us.
You won't start with that storm
coming on?" we said to Jim as he came
out of his tent with pack on his back.
Jim wants me-good- he replied,
and in five minutes he was out of sight.
An hour later we were all driven to
shelter, and for three days and nights
there was never break in the storm.

Personal Property Taxes.

The state assessors of New York re-
port that in 1891 the assessed value OF
personal property in the state decreased
50, 17O, O63, and that since 1870 it has de-
creased $50. 121, 211. For remedy they
propose listing laws which would make
every body's private business part of the
public records. This is, of course, in
Difference to the opinions of that class Of
farmers who imagine that by taxing
personal property they attack rich men.
All experience shows that personal
property can not be equally taxed. If
the law is stringent, the man whose
personal property can not be concealed
and the conscientious man will alone
pay the tax; others will go free, and
farmers must bear the greatest burden
of taxation. The schoolmaster is badly
needed among the farmers who insist
upon piling taxes mountain high upon
themselves by striving to tax kind of
property which can be discovered in
their hands but not in the hands of rich
men; and kind, too, of which they
own more than of any other kind.
They exclaim, and these state
assessors echo them, against the tax
burdens that real estate Is bearing, as
if farmers paid most of real estate
taxes, when the truth is that the great
real estate values are in the cities and
mining centers and not in farming dis
tricts. If they are wise, even worldly
wise, they would at once abolish all
personal property taxation, and as soon
as possible abolish all taxes on real es-
tate improvements. When they do that,
and not until they do it, will they place
the burden of taxes on rich men; for
what would then be left for taxation is
land alone, which would be taxed ac-
cording to it's value and could not es-
cape the assessor. The simplest obser-
walton shows that all the benefits of
light taxes on that kind Of property are
enjoyed by the rich, whose riches come
not from their own labor but from the
privileges which the state confers upon
them. These are the men who should
pay the taxes. Land value taxation is
the only way to make them do 1.-THE

New Bedford board of trade. The

personal property taxation, based upon
these two propositions: First, it should

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

prominent Persons Mentioned In Con-
nection With the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Post SAYS:
The bulk of opinion here points in the
direction OF an extra session of Congress,
which it is believed Will be called at an
early date following the Inauguration of
Cleveland. Undoubtedly great pressure
is preparing to be brought to bear upon
the President-elect to effect this. North
western men who are in closest touch
with the people at home are especialIv
urgent in the demand for an extra ses
sion.
There is lot of vague Cabinet gossip
being INDUCED IN to-day. 1t is stated
that neither Whitney nor Dickinson will
accept places in CleVeland's Cabinet and
great doubt is expressed about Flowers
desiring a Cabinet place. There is some
foundation for the guess that Fairchild
may go into the Treasury Department
again. Senator Mcpherson may be Sec
retary of the Treasury. Colonel Dan La
mont may be the New York member of
the Cabinet. Lamont would be accept
able to all the New Hork Democrats 1t
is believed that Colonel Morrison of Illi-
nois Will go at the head of one or the de-
partments. +. c. Wall, Democratic Ma
uonal Committeeman from Wisconsin, is
said to-day to stand an excellent chance
OF being selected for some Caolnet posi-
ton.

say Mr.. Cleveland must have time after

pected Smith will begin his defense this

Professor Smith made objection to

ever, was overruled.

the committee was prejudiced- appointed

declared was avowed in the open Presby-
terry 10y the Moderator in making the APP
polntmeuts, and 1t was further evident
from the form of the report itself. The
Professor set forth several other reasons
why the proceedings were irregular, and
reminded the court of the necessity for
extreme caution in determining the ques-
tons presented to it. No previously
formed opinions should overruIe the pro-
cess OF reason. He alleged that the
charges against him were insufficient.
and asked that they be stricken out.

SAN JOSE, Nov. l4.-There were no
new developments in the Planz murder
case to-day. The inquest was resumed
and carried on with the purpose OF seeing
whether there was woman in the case or
not.
Abe Jones was put on the stand and
testified to meeting Planz Friday morn
ing between l. and o'clock. His testi-
mony was substantially as given before.
There was nothing new in it.
Mrs. Mary Gaskill, sister of W.. Leon,
the man who got up TO throw brick bat
at the dogs which howled as the murder
ing party passed down Julien street, a
block and a half from the hanging, was
the second witness. She SAID she heard
the noise of the dogs, and heard her
brother 60 out, but no voices. Her hus-
band was with her in bed. LIE only got
up about L o'clock to smoke a cigarette,
and did not leave the house. Mrs. Ctaslill
had never seen PIanZ but once, and that
was at saloon at the brewery.
when she was there with Mrs.
Rogers, Mrs. Williams and another
woman. Sne was not introduced to
Planz, and never saw him again ill she
saw him hanging on the pepper tree,
block and Il half from the house. She
never had an appointment with him at
the Melville House, ana did not know
where it was. When she heard of the
hanging she went down and saw the
body and then went over to see Mrs.
Rogers, on North Eighth street, about a
mile away, to tell her of the hanging of
Planz. Never saw Mrs. Rogers, except
at the time she met her at the saloon at
the brewery in July or August, the time
she first saw Planz.
Mrs. Rogers was called, but no valua-
bic testimony was got from her. She had
met Planz several times at the Arno
clearinghouse, but denied having been
intimate with him there or anywhere
else. She had no date with him on the
fatal night. She called him by his first
name and had seen him half dozen
times altogether. She had only seen
Mrs. Gaskiu once before the tragedy and
that was at the brewery saloon.
Mrs. q. +. Williams lives in the Mar
tin block. She knew Planz and had often
seen him at the brewery. Her husbanu
formerly worked there and received her
mail at the brewery. Nothing was de-
Veloped to show that Mrs. Williams was
in any way connected with the case. The
inquest was adjourned till o'clock.
The jury returned verdict that Planz
came to his death by strangulation at the
hands OF persons unknown.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA call will be
issued soon for a meeting of the House
Committee on Appropriations for Mon
day, November 2Sth. This will give the
committee about a weeks time in which
to prepare some regular annual appro-
prlation bills for action of Congress when
it meets for the second session. 1t is the
purpose to push rapidly all these meas
ures for the maintenance of the Govern
ment next year. The exceedingly heavy
payments by the Treasury during the
first quarter OF the present fiscal year
caused some dismay among members of
the Appropriations Committee. For the
first four months of the year these pay
penditures for a corresponding period the
preceding fiscal year, (which means
total increase for the present
year of S4S,O0O,0OO, while the appro-
priations for the year were only
s!2,OOO,G00 greater than the appropriations
for last year. That means tif the esti-
mates of the committee hold good de-
hClency on account of pensions of $50, 00O,-
000, which will have to be met by Congress
at the next session, in addition to the ap-
preparation for the next fiscal year of GER
tainIy not less that Sl5O,OU0,0O0. So the
total appropriations Congress must make
for pensions next session aggregate
not less than SlS6, 100000. With this added
to other appropriations necessary to carry
on the Government and the decreased i'm
portations, and consequently receipts, ,ex-
pected to result from the agitation of the
tariff question, it will be seen that the
Appropriations Committee has good rea-
son to feel dismayed at the outlook, and
ooubt the ability to prevent a deficiency
in the national accounts.

MONTREAL, Nov. IA good deal of

prevented repetition of these attacks,
but such was not the case, and he con-
tinues as follows:
