The Bishop Of Central Nexs Yosk on
TaxatioML

MY DEAR SR:-My apprehension In
in answering your favor, that my opfn-
ion as to the land tax is mot mature
enough, or my mind thoroughly enough
informed, to, justify me in occupying
any body's time'with my thoughts about
it In, its relation to social justice, tn
the fearful disorder and threatened
disaster in QUIZ social condition, to ma
morals and religion this particular doc
trine NO less than the whole subject u
economic reform, seems to me to de-
mand the most patient, fair, wise and
good-tempered discussion. believe
this to be true of each and all OF tia
several theories honestly held and adj
vocated among us, which look to req
sonable equality in opportunities fsr
industry and self-support, to the state
ment or overthrow Of despotie monop-
olies, and to. righteous distribution Vt
the fruits of labor: We are in period
not only OF disturbance and anxiety
and danger, but Of experiment ard
practical measures. Every citizen
ought to be student of the problems
plainly presented and the remedies
proposed. It is greatly to be desired
that the single tax principle should he
put upon trial, so far as it can be, In
some community, some county or state
am so near to definite faith in it As to
be willing to make personal sacrifices
to promote it. Perhaps, IL implies SOME
fault in myself that am not prompt "a

ment inclines, and which larghr

Dakota's Great wheatfelds.

A large party of foreign agricultural
commissioners to the Worlds fair, un-
der the escort of Governor Shortridge of
North Dakota, saw some harvesting
operations in that great wheat country
a few days ago which must have opened
their eyes, accustomed as they are to the
small acreages Of Europe. Driving
through a vast wheatfeld bounded only
by the horizon, they beheld as many as
43 Irvine binders moving In q steady pro-
cession half a mile long and cutting
great swaths of grain.
They were told by the owner of this
farm that in harvesting time he cut a
square mile of grain in q day and en-
ployed 80 men to shock it up. At noon
the visitors sat down to a prairie chicken
dinner on a mammoth scale, which ex-
cited their surprise almost as much as
the prairie acres on which they gazed.
Afterward they visited the famous
Dalrymple farm, covering 81, 600 acres of
ground, and saw numerous thrashing
machines making their inroads into the
stacks of wheat which it required 1870
Irvine binders from two to three weeks
to cut.-New York Post.

A just but Lenient Judge.

An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah a few days
ago. Judge Mcdonnell was tardy il
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $40 and then promptly re.
mitted the fine. His honor went to see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him a little longer than he had
counted on. When he entered the
courtroom, the hands ON the clock above
the judges desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge Mcdonnell took note of the fact
and said: SIN accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes in
late is subject to a fine. The clerk will,
therefore, enter a fine of $40 against the
court for hardness, to be paid into the
registry of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order to
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re-
NIT the fine."-Baltimore Sun.

This Is the Latest scheme of the Men
From silver States.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Those who
have observed the difficulty of keeping
the silver question in the background
will not be surprised to learn that this
subject is destined to assert its right to a
hearing in connection with the tariff. It
viii come in the shape of a proposition
to put a duty upon silver importations,
not in the house, but in the senate. if the
plans of those who have the matter in
hand do not miscarry. The effort to
secure this innovation will be
made In connection with the
metal schedule, and it will be
coupled with the item concerning lead
and silver ores. The purpose of this
movement is twofold. 1t may D
the way for the free coinage of the
American product of silver, about which
so much has been heard in recent years,
and 1t is expected TO prevent the coun
terfeiting of the American dollar in
other countries, and the sending of the
counterfeit coins to the United States,

New Works. New Diana.

The new Eiana for the tower OF the
Madison Square Garden win be of alu-
minimum. Copper was the material of the
original chaste goddess, who pointed
with her bow to the winds eye from that
lofty pinnacle awhile ago. The white
metal is far better for the purpose on
account of its comparatively small
weight for the bulk. 1t is only about as
heavy as chalk. The wholesale price of
it has been brought down by improved
processes to $1.25 q pound. Perchance
aluminium will, at some time in the flu
ture, be the material universally en-
ployed for making statues.
Inasmuch as there is plenty of it to be
had, every clay bank being a mine of it,
it may reasonably be expected that pro-
cesses will eventually be discovered for
separating it in unlimited quantities at
a comparatively cheap rate from the ma
terials with which it Is found combined
in nature. One important advantage
that it has for statuary and monumental
purposes is the fact that it does not cor
rode and is as untarnishable as gold.
The aluminium Diana is being put to-
gether by New York firm. She win
be 10 feet high, whereas her predecessor
was 1S feet in height. The sculptor, st.
Gaudens, and other experts were OF the
opinion that the original goddess was
too big. So they took it down and or
dered a new one, while the big copper
huntress was shipped to the Worlds fair
at Chicago.-Exchange.

English Taught In French Schools.

The French minister of public instruc.
ton has issued q circular which will have
the effect of greatly stimulating the
study Of the English language In France.
In all the higher schools and training col.
leges the compulsory studies hitherto
have included two modern languages.
n Of which must be German. This or.
der Is now annulled,
Two modern languages will be the rule
as before, and one will remain at the %
ton of the pupil, but as to the other he
can choose between German and Eng
lish. Moreover, the time given to the
study OF German is reduced by two
hours, while that devoted to English il
increased by the same length of tine.
and pupils will begin their English les
sons one year earlier than hitherto

Hemmed in by walls OF brick and stone.

And bloomy gardens granted me
Less simple satisfaction,
Less thankful sen of happiness.

All pleasant thin = enhances:
IL fills the silence d. by day
With summers sweetest f~ancies:
Brooks babble, wild flowers smile for me
And forests murmur in my tree.

Throng In its compass narrow;
A ctfuif of rippling harmonies

A CLINT of sudden sunshine brings
The dream Of many colored wings.

What bitter fate can Tout your
Better with you a meal of herbs
Than the stalled OK without you:
For eyes that you anoint can see
All natures beauty i'm one tree.

"Of course horses cannot talk, but
they understand each other Just the
same" remarked Peter Noell, n Of
the oldest and best known drivers on
the Spring Grove avenue line of cars.
For a loag time / have been driving
a sturdy, solid old bay. There is moth
ing fast about him, but when it comes
to pulling he can discount any other
horse owned by the company. He
knows, too, when he il hitched up
with a balky mate, and it is from his
actions on occasions of that kind thai
| am convinced that horses understand
each other. When he is in harness
with a balky partner, he will stand per-
fectly still and let the other do all the
prancing and kicking.
When it quiets down a hit, he will
rub its neck and puts his nose up to its
ear, as If endeayoring to whisper to it.
When 1t becomes quiet, the old fellow
will make a move as il to start. IF the
other takes the cue, well and good, but
II there is n bit of rearing or Jump
ing he will settle back in his place and
repeat the neck rubbing and supposed
whispering operations. The second one
~ generally successful, and with u slight
neigh, as ii his efforts had proved sue
cessful. the old fellow starts the car all
by himself. I tell you he can cure
more balky horses of their bad habits
and in quicker time than all the train
ers in Cincinnati put together. Gin
