The Modest Claim Of the Single Tax
Advocates.

Single tax means the abolition of all
taxes upon industry and the products Of
industry, and the taking, by taxation
upon land values irrespective of inn
provements, of the annual rental value
Of all those various forms of natural
opportunities embraced under the gem
eral term, land To tax labor or its
products is to discourage industry. To
tar land values to their full amount
will render it impossible Tor any man to
exact from others price for the privi-
lege Of using those bounties Of nature
in which all living men have an equal
right of use. It will compel every midi
vidual controlling natural opportuni-
ties to either utilize them by the en-
ployment OF labor or abandon them to
others. It will thus provide opportuni-
ties OF work for all men and secure TO
each the full reward of his labor; and
as result involuntary poverty will Be
abolished, and the greed, intemperance
and vice that spring from poverty and
the dread Of poverty will be swept
away.

But on the altar Of homes sacred shrine
Sne Keeps the fre OF pure affection burning
We ten our Rriefs into her patient ear:
She whispers: Hooper, when WAYS are dar,r

The little children like to have her near.
And run into her open arms when weary.
Her step falls lightly BY the sufferers bed:
Where poverty and care abound she fingers:
AND many weary heart and aching head
Find gifts OF healing in her tender flnpers
She holds helping hand to those who fall
which gently guides them back to paths of

Her kindly eyes. with kindly looks for all
See In uncomeliest souls some hidden beauty.
Her charity would every need embrace;
The shy and tmid fear not to address her:

While all who know her pray that Heaven

A BIT OF HUMAN NATURE.


An American Girra CHAT with tho Late King
Kaiakaua.
A pretty young woman. who spends
most of her time IN following her hus-
band around the world, he being the
belonging to Uncle Sam, tells us of an
episode that took place in Honolulu
during the reign of the late King Kala-
kaua, OF which she was the heroine.
Jim was very chnmmy with the
king, as his majesty, having decided
penchant for poker, used to invite the
officers of the American vessels when
IN port to come up to the palace and
indulge in little friendly game. I
had never had the pleasure Of being pre-
sented, however. and my husbands
ship sailed away. leaving me to wait
two weeks before my own steamer left
for San Francisco. That is the pleas
ant part of being a naval officers
wife, as you never can tell what
minute you may be left, and you
are not allowed to go along. save as
do, to places where they are to be sta
toned some time, and where / can meet
him before he is ordered off again.
You may be sure 1 was lonely there
in Honolulu. though knew lot of
princes; almost everyone is prince,
you know. and determined to meet
the king if had to walk straight up
to the palace and introduce myself. I
told one of the princes OF my wishes
and he agreed to present me the next
day.

court etiquette, and there was, almost
in the presence of a real king, even
though he wasn't very much of one.
When the prince bowed low to a
stout man and mumbled over my
name and country courtesied
profoundly, and then, whether it
was from embarrassment or fright,
l have never been able to tell
which. blurted out: oh, your ma
jesty, really don't know what to do.
You see, I've never been used to call

is proper I'll do it.
HE looked at me for minute as

ing on you instead of you upon me.
And did! I asked him to be seated,
made some remark about the beautiful
weather. then we both laughed, and
after that everything was as uncon-
ventional as though he and had been
friends for years. I stayed half an
hour and next day one of the kings
attendants brought me a beautiful bou-
quet of flowers, and when 1 sailed the
king gave me his photograph, with his
royal autograph on the back.

THE PRINCE OF WALES SON.

How He Exercised Good Influence Over a
Constantly Offending Blue Jacket.
When Prince George, duke of York,
had the independent command of the
Thrush, on the West Indian station, it
fell to his lot, to have to convey, as
prisoner, young'blue jacket belong
ing to another ship, who had been
hitherto constant offender and con-
tinually on the blacklist The man
came on board the Thrush merely as
prisoner for conveyance from one part
of the station to another under sem
tence of punishment. From his de-
meanor, however, and by close obser-
walton of him, Prince George came to
the conclusion that there were many
seeds of good in the man and the MAX
ing of a better career. When the term
of punishment was fulfilled and the
time came for him to rejoin his own
ship Prince George determined to
try and give him the chance of new
start in life. On arriving in port, after
calling upon the mans captain, who
naturally was only too glad to be rid
of him, he went to the admiral and
asked permission to transfer him to the
Thrush. The admiral, astonished at
the proposition, gave his consent
Prince George went back to his own
ship, had the man brought aft before
him on the quarterback and spoke to
him as probably he had never been
spoken to before. He told him that he
| was henceforth transferred to the
Thrush; that, as commanding officer.
he put him in the first class for leave
and gave him clean sheet as REGARDS

The man was completely overcome.
He, of course, answered nothing, but
saluted and was then marched forward
again. His officers confidence was not
misplaced. During the rest of the
Thrush's commission he was never once
an offender. but showed himself as
active, willing and smart a hand as any
in the ship. and after working hours he
was the life of the forecastle. In the
ship in which he has subsequently
served he has maintained his good con.
duct and attained a petty officers rat.

He NEEDED A DOLLAR,

For Palmistrv Did Not Avail Him. and His
Seat On tho Truck Did Fail Him.
With grooming brakes and last rat

halt in the darkness of Colorado juno
ton. The door of the smoking car
opened slowly, and Weary Willy of q
tramp slid in.

said, pulling from his head a hat Of
which little was left but the brim. The
men at the poker table looked up. The
tramp's coat was disappointed frock

skirts had fringe on them, and the
cloth was Of the color known as guess

Several TASKS were handed to him,
but no money. The train began to
move, and the tramp slid out to settle
himself on a truck once more.
Ten miles out of Colorado Junction,
and in a desert, the train was brought
to sudden halt. There was a scuffle
under the smoking car and the tramp
was dragged out.

smoking-car windows and pitied the
tramp. just as the train began to move

''Nerviest dead beat on the line" said
the brakeman, as he slammed the door.

Can a Tax on Rent Be Evaded7

sCan not Landlords increase their rent,
II it is taxed, SO as to make the laborezs
still pay the taxes over again?" No.
Landlords now collect all the rent
which it is possible for them to get II
all of it were taken away by taxation,
they could not collect second time.
Suppose the average laborer, earning
$500 year (which is large allowance)
pays 500 for ground rent Suppose
the state takes all OF this from the land
lord, and he then demands another 500
from the tenant and gets it. The state
then takes 5000 from the landlord, and
he demands $500 from the tenant, and
suppose-which is impossible-heg gets
it. Still the state takes the $400 from
the landlord; and he demands $500 from
the tenant He demands $500 from the
tenant, whose whole income is only
$500. How can he make the tenant pay
it? The tenant would be dead long be-
fore this point was reached; and all
other tenants, being subject to the same
extortion, would be dead also. So far
from landlords being enabled to in
crease rent. in consequence of a heavy
tax on rent, they would become more
eager competitors for tenants. because
they could not afford to keep any land
out OF use.
The landlord has no means Of shift
ing it 1.-THE tax on land hluel. For II
the tax were to be suddenly abolished
he would nevertheless be able to extort
the same rent, since the ground rent is
fixed solely by the demand Of the occu-
piers The tax is simply diminutive
of his profits Prof. E r A. Seligman.
II the gentleman" actually pays the
tax ION the rent Of land] out Of his
pocket he certainly feels its burden
But this influences not at all the year
" rent of the land, which the rack
renter or under-tenant pays, it being
the same thing to him, whether he pays
all the rent to the. king or to the land
lord" For the tenants" bargain and
profit are the same, whether the land
be charged or not charged, with an
annuity payable to another man. The
landowner, in other words, can not
shift q land tax-John Locke, in 'sCol-
lected Works"
If land be taxed according to its pure
rent, virtually all writers since Ricardo
are agreed that the tax will fail wholly
on the landowner, and that it can not
be shifted to any other class, whether
tenant, farmer or consumer This point
is so universally accepted as to require
no further discussion Shifting and
