Mr.. Morton's Dcclination.

l-hOudHu III IEt-S-
Early in the Winter it was the general
understanding among Republican leaders that
if Levi P. Morton did not say nay the nomina-
tion for governor would be rendered to him
bv the Republican state convention. 1t was
deemed best to communicate with Mr. Nor
ton, who has been now for some months in
Paris. His intimate friends had great doubt
of his desire or his capacity ever to enter
public life again. 1t was known that he had
gone to Paris for surgical treatment. A trouble
some complaint had appeared in one OF his
feet. There was anxiety lest it should be de-
veloped that the trouble was gangrene. The
operation was performed, and with immediate
success, but it involved the removal of four
toes, and also the necessity OF absolute quiet
on Mr.. Morton's part. While convalescinS
from mthe operation Mr.. Morton took the oppor-
tunity to reply to the letters sent him, ask
ing whether he would permit his friends to
bring forward his name at the state conven-
tfon. That reply saw this morning. One
paragraph of the letter is all that is necessary
to quote. Mr.. Morton says: 'It would be i'm
possible for me to accept the nomination,
even if it were rendered to me by the state
convention" That. of course, must be taken
as final, and is so taken.

made distance much greater than this can
be successfully worked.

TWO OR THREE STORIES OF
THE SPARE MR.. WILSON

Hon. Jere Wilson, the leading attorney for
Miss Pollard, was resident of Indiana in
1870, enjoying fair law practice, but never
dreaming OF national fame. That year hot
fight was waged in his congressional district
for the Republican nomination. George W.
Julian was the Representative, but he had
alienated his party and it WAS determined TO
defeat his denomination. Gen. Sol Meredith
was an opposing candidate, and some time
before the convention horsewhipped Julian
at a railroad station.
This political contest was so bitter that the
party leaders sought candidate among
those who had not been actively mixed up in
the faction fight. Jere Wilson was selected.
His opponent was David Gooding. who had
been marshal of the District of Columbia
under President Johnson. Gooding was a
large man with voice like foghorn. Mr..
Wilson was more spare even than he is now.
Gooding was one of those stump orators who
take" with the farmers. Mr. Wilson refused
joint canvass; Gooding was too domineer-
ing. The election was very hard fought;
Wilson went in with a margin Of four votes.
Gooding contested the seat, but unavailingly.
The two were renominated two years later,
and Wilson went upon the stump and amazed
himself and his friends by his ability. This
time he was elected by several hundred ma
jority. During that term he was a member of
the Judiciary Committee and chairman of the
Committee on the District. District matters
were in bad shape. and his energy. fair
mindedness, and liberality won him a host of
friends.
But the legislature OF Indiana redistricted
the state and put him in hopelessly Demo-
cratic district. He thought his career
practically ended. There was no chance for
him to get back TO Congress. and at
the end of his term he packed up his belong
ings and prepared to go back TO his home
again to enter the practice OF law. One
morning Judge Shsllabarger met him In his
hotel and asked him when he expected TO leave
for Indiana, Jere Wilson told him his ticket
was bought for tina. afternoon. All of Il sud-
den MIR. Sheliatarger turned to him ana said:
''What do you say TO going in with me and
opening u law office hrre?"
The idea struck Jere Wilson favorably. In
less than ten minutes they were out upon the
street looking Tor an office. Since then the
firm has been engaged in many OF the most
important eases. civil and criminal. that nave

leaves tho cost Of production unimpaired.
But suppose that the landlord, in order to
make his land ''pay decent interest on Its
four, as rent. What effect would that arbi-
trary increase Of rent have upon labor and
capital?
1t would Immediately make production un-
profitable to them, Notwithstanding the fact
that the location would naturally yield
large margin over the cost Of production.
The landlords occupying the controlling
position, capital and labor can do nothing
but submit (and fight among themsives) until
the landlord exactions become unbearable.
and then production ceases until either re-
duction OF ground rents or an increase in the
natural margin OF production, resulting from
inventions or other causes, enables labor and
capital to resume production at profit.
The checking of production by this pres
sure at one point lessons the demand for pro-
duction at other points until finally the whole
network Of our industrial and commercial
system becomes paralyzed, involved In an
industrial depression" This is the true
cause of industrial depressions.
Every check given to industry lowers its
margin Of production, and ground rent,
which is properly the margin of production
only, should fall with that margin. but it does
not so fall. 1t rises with every tide Of pros
perity and it follows prosperity to its highest
point, but it does not fall when prosperity
ceases. 1t continues its exactions until labor
and capital have become practically bank
rupt, and then it falls only to give the vic
Tins of land monopoly another chance to
provide themselves with means to pay further
tribute.
The single tax in its unlimited application
would take for public use the exact margin Of
production. taking share Of production
small enough to leave labor and capital their
full rewards, but large enough to make mo-
nopoly at all times profitable.

WATCH THE ROLL.CALLs.

In one of its earliest numbers The TIMES
called attention to the fact that Congress
and the country, in reality-was simply ''held
up' by the sugar trust, which, once mastering
the whisky trust, kept the tariff bill in COM
mittee until it should come out in a form to
suit the sugar trust. Our news columns this
morning disclose some of the facts touching
the much discussed ''deal" by which this
Illicit condition had been brought about.
The two branches Of Congress-and the
country, in reality-are as much in the grasp
of this monopoly as ever. They seem to be
more so, as the promoters of this active and
powerful Of present-time monopolies purpose
raising, If possible, the rate OF duty upon
refined sugar right in the face Of the gathered
protests OF the people, who desire the duty
swept away. But a reckoning may come.
These alliances may be ferreted out in detail
and exposed. Roll calls Of Congress may be
watched. The people may vet know what is
actually passing in Congress and in the lob
bies of the Capitol.

In the play the soldier comes back after

ragged, and without money. Everyone re-
fuses to recognize him. He is peddling ar
lists supplies. He offers his wares in a
studio, in which he discovers his daughter sit
ting for her picture to the artist and in love
with him. He goes away out into the world of
his wanderings again without disclosing his
identity to her.

LAND MONOpOLIES.

BY There is only one general
MExRER OF artificial condition at all
capable of bringing about
industrial depressions that
CALIFORNIA has existed in all countries
to which they have extended and throughout
the whole period during which the world has
been afflicted with industrial depressions.
That cause is the private monopoly of land,
the only source from which labor and capital
can produce wealth; the only foundation
upon which industry and commerce can
prosecute the production and exchange of
wealth. This monopoly control of the
natural resources and Of the exclusive means
of wealth production has enabled the monop-
olists 10 absolutely control production and to
exact from labor and capital everywhere a
share in the distribution of the wealth which
labor and capital have produced, measured
and limited only by the avarice Of the mo-
nopolists themselves.
With this power in the hands Of the land
owning class. with no limit to its exaction Of
ground rents and royalties from industry,
save its own avarice, there is a constant
temptation and tendency on the part Of the
owners of land to take larger share Of the
results of industry and commerce than labor
and capital can possibly afford to pay, thus
making production and exchange unprofita-
ble to labor and capital and causing produc-
tion and exchange to cease for the time being.
To Illustrate this pressure of ground rent
against production, let US suppose that
-.
for agriculture, or pasture, or manufactures,
or commerce, has productive capacity of 12;
that the cost of capital used in the production
is 4, and the cost of labor 4, leaving margin
OF over the cost Of production.
This margin the landlord (or the COM
munity) may take without in any way inter-
ferins with production. Taking the margin

PIrTsroN, Pa, March 27.-James Gallagher,
q Providence miner, fell down the shaft of
the Leggett's Creek mine, distance of $50
feet, and, strange to say, still lives. The
most remarkable fact connected with the ac-
cident. however, is that, instead of being
crushed into an unrecognizable mass, as one
would suppose would have been the case, not
a single bone was broken. although he was
seriously bruised. sustaining a severe scalp
wound from coming in contact with the side
Of the shaft, together with other injuries. It
is the opinion of the attending physician that
