MISSOURI DIsGRACED.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The State of Missouri is disgraced
by the sale of human beings into
temporary slavery under the social
ed vagrant law. During the past
few weeks several negroes have been
sold at public auction, and in Mex
leo, Mo-, few days ago white
man narrowly escaped falling into
the haaas- ssssadioaten- Of no
groes organized to buy him.
Of course the persons likely to be
thus auctioned off are not highly
sensitive and perhaps edo not mind'
the little episode. But with jails,
warehouses and penitentlaries pro-
vided for the purpose of restraining
criminals, the punishment Of mere
idleness may be left to, the want and
hunger which afflicts those who can
work but will not.
The chief objection is the scandal
which follows every one of these
auctions and reflects upon the good
name of the State. The practice re-
calls the most disgusting features of
an institution now universally con-
demned. Missouri legislation isrun
upon a very low plane when it con-
fesses itself unable to find a bet
ter way Of dealing with crime or
idleness than by putting the labor of
convicts on the auction block, ,wheth-
er in or out of the penitentiary.

REPEAL THE LAW.

The selling of negro convicted
of vagrancy at Mexico, Mo-, has re-
suited in an effort to have the law
repealed. This is right, for notwith-
standing the fact that something
should be done to make vagrants
work, yet Missouri cannot afford to
put any obstacle in the way OF i'm
migration and the eastern idea seems
to be that old slave methods have
again been restored in this state. OF
course such an idea is absurd, but it
is possible for any absurdity to find
a Judgement in the mind of preiu-
dice and when there is no particular
gain for the state in having false
impressions made, it is just as we'll

NO FINE ASSESSED.

From the st. Louis Republic.
We cannot too highly commend
the conduct of our fellow Missouri
ans of the beautiful city of Mexico
in interfering by habeas corpus to
prevent the sale of Joe Thompson,
the negro who was to have been
auctioned off to work out a fine for
vagrancy. But it would be still
better, we .hink, to pay bis fine by
public subscription, provided he will

THE SINGLE TAX.
Mr.. Rohrabacher Expounds the Great
Henry George Doctrine of
"Unearned Increment"
He Is Listened to with Interest by
n Il GOOd-Sized and Intel.
ligent Audience.

T An informal talk on the single-tax
( theory was made by G. A. Rohrabacher
at the court house last evening" The
Z meeting was advertised but little and
yet there we're good many persons
present w:o seemed to take decided
Interest in the subject. The speaker
eaid that the single tax is great moral
orinciple, which should not be called a
( tax at all. If put into force gradually
by doing away with all taxes on the
products of labor and raising all needed
revenues from the unearned increment
yof lands it need not disturb or trouble
Eany community, and once in force would
a produce the most benefcent revolution
the world had ever known.
The doctrine is founded, the speaker
said, on the fatherhead of God and the
brotherhood of man. As God made the
water falls to drive power wheels, the
winds to more the vessels of commerce,
and all the other great forces and bless
ings which he planted on the earth, so
he provided for the support OF civiiza-
tion without the burden of one
cents worth Of taxes on labor. The
earth belongs in usufruct to the living,
and as the value of land is made by the
presence of the community, all the value
that comes to land bv the community
rightly belongs to it. The ''unearn-
ed increment" of the land of New York
city, for instance, amounts to about
S1O0,OOOOOO year, while less than So
100000 is needed Cor the public ex-
penses of the city.
The single tax would not interfere in
the least with titles ar property rights,
and the speaker made some happy illus
trations to prove this. 1t simply pro-
duces by a tax on the land according to
its actual increment value, which is the
value it acquires from the proximity OF
the community, enough revenue for all
public needs, and exempts the homes
the libraries, the necessities and the
luXuries Of the people, all of which are
products of labor, entirely from taxa
ton.
Nor would this system of taxation
work any hardship on the users and oc-
cupiers Of land. 1t would prove detri-
mental only to those who attempted to
hold land for speculation for the purpose
of reaping the benefits of the unearned
increment These men would be obliged
to use their lands or give them up to
others who would. 1t is not a system of
reprisal nor does it look for force in or
der to bring it about. 1t will come
through the natural goodness Of man
kind AS soon AS it is fully understood,
for it is the provision which the Father
God has made for Ills children in this
world.
AT the close Of his remarks Mr.. Rohra-
bacher answered all questions that were
asked, telling some amusing stories to
illustrate his points, and hearty vote
of thanks WAS given him at the close of
the meeting.

The Board of Trade and Merchants As
sociatien Make n Good Move.
In response to an invitation to the
board of trade and Merchants associa-
ton from the school board, c. M. Web
ster and DR.. Ernest Crutcher, represent
ing the board of trade; II. Strain. 7. L.
Cockrill, and Y. w. Brosnan, represent
ing the Merchants association, met yes
terday with the board to discuss the
boards recent action in ordering that
the schools should not open until Nov. 6.
The members of the school board pres
ent were Messrs. Prentiss and Cock
stetter and Mines. Tracy and Ladd.
Mr.. Brosnan said that the merchants
regretted that such action had been
taken and that the condition of tho
finances Of the county vas such that the
merchants were willing to carry the war
rants, accepting them at par.
Mr.. Strain said that he did not believe
that the merchants would guarantee to
accept all offered but would sustain the
credit Of the county. He said that in
Dakota warrants we're never paid upon
presentation, and that Cascade county
had done better than many of the coun-
ties in the east.
DIR. Crutcher said there was no telling
what congress will do, and that it may
not be longer than Sept. - before this
county will be more prosperous than
ever.
Mr.. Webster, president of the Security
bank, said that as times became better
in the Twin Cities his bank would be in
such condition as to furnish the coun-
ty all the money necessary. The bank
had never before obtained eastern loans
and could negotiate some Of its gilt
edged paper
An order was then unanimously made
that the schools should begin Sept. 5
and the clerk was ordered to notify the
teachers to that effect
After thanking the committees for
attending the meeting the board adj
journed.
The action of the conference was soon
known on the street and seemed to IN
fuse new life into all. The closing of
the schools was regarded as an omen of
exceedingly hard times and confidence
was greatly restored by the boards re-
of its former order.

able and will give satisfaction to the
boys, Col. Curtis was urgent in his de-
mand for tents because it looked more
like soldering, but was overruled by his
two veteran associates, who by exper-

A rifle range was marked off and will
be fitted with five targets in order that
an entire battalion can practice at the
same time. The work of preparing the
fort will be begun at once. and it will be
ready when needed.
1t has been decided that the encamp-
ment will begin Thursday, Sept. 7, and
end Thursday, Sept. II, and the general
order will probably be issued today. By
this programme there will be Sunday

LADY COOK ON MoDEsTY.
She Regrets the Apparent Disappear
ance of Two Ancient Virtues.

Lady Cook. nee Claffiin. in the New
castle (Eng) Chronicle, says: One by
one the old world virtues are disappear
ing. Time was when chivalry was the
crown Of man. and modesty the diadem
OF woman. Chivalry has given place to
selfishneSs and modesty to chic" Not
that those splendid qualities can ever
absolutely die, for there are, and always
will. be, noble men and pure women,
but the diminution is serious and Of
evil augury.
The past has only produced one other
people resembling ourSelves-austere,
brave. masterful, enterprising at home
and abroad, coloniZing and road-making
all the world over, skillful in peace and
matchless in war. The Romans were
the English Of ancient times; the En-
glish are modern Romans.
But ii is to be noted among the first
signs of the decline of Rome, that her
women, so famous for virtue, had be-
come demoralized. The national fibre
had relaxed. Simplicity Of life and man.
ners made way for luxury. For duty
was substituted disqualification. Volup-
tuous pleasure after pleasure palled
upon the jaded tastes, until at length
honor and decency were obliterated and
nameleSS horrors were of daily and con-
mon occurrence. st. Paul gave fOrcible
evidence of cotemporary manners when
he represented his fellow-citizens as he
ing given over to all uncleanneSS.
If history has any value, it is by plac-
ing before us the wisdom and errors Of
the past that we may adopt the one and
reject the other. And if modesty was a
cause of national decadence, then IL
would undoubtedly be the same now.
The truly modest are alone 1.-The pure
in heart and the nearer they APP
proach to perfection, the greater is the
measure of their mOdeSty. Such
blessed ones become centers of purify
ing influences, and, like the fountains
of Sahara, they cleanse and refresh the
stained and weary wayfarers and create
in the desert vast GASES of verdure and
beauty.
Prudishness is not modesty, for has
not some one rightly said, 1.-The overnice
are those of nasty ideas?' Conceal
ment is not modesty, else would the
Turkish women be the most modest,
whereas they are the most depraved.
Purity has nothing to conceal Modesty,
like love, ''thinketh no evil but, un-
like love, it also subdues evil thought
in others.

with the gas apparatus. A repair. IL 1t
become necessary, of any one OF the
parts of the balloon, will be easily ac-
complished. because four OF those parts
will be sufficient TO uphold the balloon,
the castle with its whole mechanism, the
ropes and $50 visitors, the largest num-
Der to be admitted to the building at
any one time. One part, therefore, of
the balloon. taken out Tor repair, will
not interfere with the use of the build
ing. which will have the shape of a
castle. The total weight of the latter,
$50 persons included, will be about 35,-
go kilogrammes, while the power of the
illuminating gas upholding the balloon
will be 59,262 kilogrammes. The building
will be sufficiently elevated from the
ground to give visitors a fine view of
the surrounding country.
At night the building will be lighted
by 5000 glowing lamps Joined to re-
Electors. 1t will then present quite a
miraculous appearance, because on ac-
count of the darkness outside of it, the
balloon and the ropes will not be Wis
ible. j. G.. HERTWIG.
