The testimony taken by the Tenement-H House
Commission affecting the Trinity Corporation
does not put that great landlord In an enviable
light before the community. 1t certainly has a
magnificent opportunity to do an important work
in behalf OF the tenement population. and it
could well afford 70 set an example for the bene-
At OF all other owners Of such property. 1t Is
short sighted policy, 10 say the least Of IT., that
induced It to oppose the law providing for the
INTRODUCTION Of CrOtOn water on every floor Of
tenement houses and to carry its fight against
II before the Court Of Appeals. Better things
should be expected from such source. Bust
ness and philanthropy are two different mat
ters. but in some circumstances they can wisely
be mingled.
The annual meeting Of the Chidrens Aid
Society directs general public attention once

total number Ct beneficiaries has now reached
and passed the 100000 point. Since the organ

have been aided by II, OF whom S7.S45 have

we had it. some Ofus rely upon our
pens. others upon our professional
ability to aid our fellow men in Inc
maintenance of their rights or the re-
savcry II tneir bodily or mental
health. Others depend upon their
scientific tainmenls, others upon
the public taste and demand for ar,
and even thousands of others are en-
gaged in the lower walks of life in
menial capacities who do not need
land for their purposes. Then we
would ask MIR. George and his friends
if land is only demanded as free by a
certain small class of producers, why
il is made the absorbing question OF
the day by the single takers? Does
that solve the whole question OF CIVIL
tzation? Would that bring to all
classes Of laborers more just and equI-
table methods, or would it be confined
simply In its benefits to agricultural
producers? In very fact, is not this
question OF the highest civilization
broader, longer and deeper than Mr..
Georges theory, or does his theory
propose relief to all these classes?

than the simple comforts Of lie.
but it mas generally been rec
ognizsd that The people who can
afford to live i'm luxurious
style had received more o! govern
mental aid in its protection OF larger
interests than the people who can only
afford the plginer comforts Of life. /.
IL q fact that the man whose in
come is over a 600 annually, requires
lager expenditure on behalf of the
government for the security OF his
varied interests than the man whose
income does not meet annually his
expenditures. The latter needs no
police protection. No burglar threat
ems his humble dwelling, while the
wealthy man must be surrounded
With detectives and police. Not only
that. but the man OF large inc me re.
quires harbOrs, docks and an army OF
federal servitOrs, and hundred Incl.
dental things that the poor man does
not require.
We have been opposed to an income
tax, not because it touches the wealth
of the country, nor because it touches
that wealth, as Senator Hill decs
in a certain section of the country, but
we opposed it solely on the ground of
its necessarily inquisitOrial nature,
and in its effects in corrupting the
morals of the country often changing
ordinarily honest men into false
swearers. However, We be
lieve in submitting to the
dictum of majority of the
Democratic party. Ii chat majority
finds it necessary on account of the en-
ormous legacy of debt and obligations
left by Republican administration,
for the purpose of defeating tariff re-
duction and reform to revenue basis,
and that majority finds it necessary
to meet this deficit by an income tax,
then we say let that be a feature of
the Wilson tariff bill. We do not be-
lieve with The News that it will ex-
cite the dire vengeance of Eastern |
capital, nor that it will destroy or i'm
pair the ability OF the South to OBJ
tain capital. Capital is not sentiment
tai; like water it seeks its level and
that level will be found by it in the
development of the superior resources
of the South.

an effort this year to extend and i'm
prove the summer institute work by
organizing two professional institutes
or schools OF methods. These two pro.
fessiOnal institutes will begin June 5,
1894, and close June 49, 1894. One of
them will be located in Galveston and
will be under the direction of Supt. o.
H. Cooper as conductor; the other will
be located in Fort Worth and will be
under the direction of Supt. w. s.
sutton OF Houston as conductor.
The following departments will be
maintained: Pedagogy, Latin, Eng

ermediate Work, Primary Methods,
Methods of summer Normal Institute
Culture, Methods of County Institute
Work, Drawing, Physical Culture,
Vocal Music.
-peakipg of the matter yesterday,
Superintendent Carlisle said:
These schools will be organized for
the benefit of teachers who may be
interested in any one or moro OF these
departments. The work will be of
he highest order, thorough and prac
ical, and will be invaluable to the
teachers who attend.
"These advanced institutes are not
designed to interfere with the usual
work of the regular July summer nor
NAL institutes. On the contrary they
will constitute an extension of the in
stitute work which has had -uch a
wonderful growth in this state duling
the last few years. 1t is hoped hat

that the bill was al innovation, but
said if it was found safe for Scotch
business it would be extended to her
business. He accused tre Conserva,
tives of opposing measures solely in
order TO Withhold from the government
the credit of passing any bills. Tho
from the Liberals. He declared the
proposed measure would greatly ease
the business of the house. The gov
eminent did not intend to extend the
proposal to England because with her
majesty said she could always assert
her own interests. He saw no reason,
however, why Ireland and Wales
should not have similar committees If
they demanded them. The present
proposal was not introduced as gen.
eral settlement of the business of the
house. The best solution of the Oiffi-
Guilty might be the estabt shment Of
subordinate legislatures.
Sir George Trevylian spoke in sup
port of the proposal. He said the
Conservatives always had the spectre
of home rule before them.

the proposal was so small, the govern
ment was so infatuated as to persist

The greatest damage to the perma-
nency of American Institutions is or
will be in religious intolerance. The
conservative people in this country in
the know. nothing excitement in the
decade OF 1850 and 1860 crushed out
the vitals of that Prospective publico'
religious party because it attempted
to destroy the political rights of mem
bers of the Catholic church. Evnn at
that time there were impositions upon
our liberality in the immigration
laws by European nations dumping
their paupars and invalidsupon us, and
ifthe know-nothing party had confined
itself to a remedy for these classes
it would have succeeded, but at no
time in the history of this country has
there been, nor will such time ever

Is MIR. GEORGES THEORY LIN
TIED OR COMPREHENSIVE
INIIS BELIEF?

Henry George says that some min
lister has asked him "lf poverty is
curable?n Mr.. George seems to think
it is, if you give all men free &C.
cess to land. Now, is not poverty
durable without free access to land?
How many young men who started in
life poor in the professions of law and
medicine who have cured that pow
erty by industry and intelligence
without access to an nch OF land?
How mauy Edisous, men OF science,
literature and art have descended
from the garnet aud lived in brown
stone fronts with all the accessories
and environments of comfort and lux
ury, without an access to an acre Of
land?
The free access to land in an unor-
gapized and nude condition of society
might be absolutely important 10
every man to enable him to escape the
paug- OF hungry aud the pains of
poverty, but yet the North American
Indian scorned to till the soil
and depended upon the chase
for his meat aud robes

of winter, but we can appreciate the
necessity he would finally have TO free
access to land when the game had
all been killed of and disappeared
from his hunting grounds,

where, It is true, the productions Of
the soil are absolutely Necessary tn

widespread and extensive, and so
many artificial wants have been Gre

machinery that the mere production
from the soil is @ small matter COM
pared to the many other occupations
of life. We think in Mr. Georges
conclusion, that free access TO land is

from poverty is too much an eff

sources Of acquiring Independence
