THE MfXWELL-GOTTLfEB AFFAIR.
The Father Of the Bride Interviewed by
the Times Correspondent.

pFTERSBTRG. VA. Nov. I3.-Special.-
Hearing that Mr. Henry Gottlieb, or Snrfy
county, was in the city, The Times cor
respondent found him tonight at the
office OF Mr William B. McIlwaine, who
Is counsel for the Gottlieb Lumber COM
pany. MIR. Gottiieb was asked whether ne
would make a statement concerning ine
marriage Of his daughter TO Mr.. AaN"til,
and he reDlied that the sensational reporls

newspapers were exceedingly dlstastelul'
and that the notOr.ety into when MS
daughter had innocently come was d mat
ter Of great distress TO him
He added that IL was probably due 10

several letters recently from his Wife.
who ia on n visit to her son IN New fork
city.
The visit was anticipated, and she writes
pleasantly OF her daughters marriage and
OF the bridal trip she f. now taking
through Canada and the West. Every
word received from Mrs. Gottlieb tends
TO show the confidence which both she
and her daughter repose IA the identity
and the integrity of Mr.. Maxwell, who Is
married 90 Miss Gottlieb.
Mr.. Mcllwane requested the cOrrespon-
dent 10 correct the statement which ap-
peared i'm The Times to-day that Mr.
Maxwell and Miss Gottlieb became ac-
ouainted I'm his Office last summer. Mr..
McIlwaine says that they did not meet
I'm his Office. and he never had heard that
they had seen each other until the report
of their marriage was published. He says.
further, that he is not attorney for the
Mason 1elephone Company nor Is he
connected with IL I'm any way.
Mr.. Mcllwaine IS president or the Mu-
tual Telephone Company. whose exchange
in Petersburg Is being installed by the
Mason TeleDhone Company. and had busi-
ness relations with Mr. Maxwell while the
work was progressing. This is probably
the explanation OF the error in The Times

SINGLE TAX.

Mr.. Frank Rosewater, of Omaha,
Neb., deep thinker and an earnest
reformer. writes in private letter as
follows:
Il thoroughly endorse your attack
on the single tax, which developed
many points vital to the success of the
single tax as practical issue. l re-
gard the single tax very much like the
tariff. 1t only can accomplish a very
small part OF the work it is theoretic-
ally expected to do. While all the in
struments Of cooperation and distri-
button were in other hands (monOpo-
llZed) the masses would not find relief
in the fetch OF land. The public
would merely find its load shifted but
not removed. You might with equal
reason destroy all ownership of wealth
because excuses operated to Cypress,
as to wipe out land ownership besausc
excessive ownership of land worked
evil. The only necessary thing to at
tack is excess, and that in all forms of
Notwithstanding the burden of
taxes on all held above average
wealth, and letting all below remain
exempt: and to enforce such a plan all
we would need is to make every man
register all his wealth that he wants
to be SHE lded by legal protection, and
let him place his own valuation on
same, subject to transfer to any per-
son putting down so per cent more in
cash than his own assessment Of value.
Such practice would make taxpayers
toe the mark in the question of equa-
BILE valuation, and would tend toward
more eqauble distribution of wealth.
taxing those who disturb the eQuili-
brium Of trade by excessive accumu-
lation through which disturbance
commerce and society are seriously in
jured."
Mr. Rosewater is publis hing at Oma-

"The New Idea;" send a postage

"Wanted: Our full share of foreign
trade and we will have all the capital
and all the currency we shall need" 1t

THE BATTLE IN CALIFORNIA.

Our friends are pushing the fight in
California. That very able man, Hon.
Thomas V. Gator, of San Francisco, is
holding series Of nine debates with
Col. Irish, Cleveland Monomaniac.
1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Gator
is having the best of the discussion,
The San Francisco Call, of Sept. Is,
said:
AS to who had the best of the argu-
ment is matter Of individual opn-
ion, but it took no guessing as to who
had the audience that filled Metropol-
itan Temple last evening to hear the
llvest question Of the hour discussed
by Thomas V. Gator for free coinage
of silver and John p Irish for the
single gold standard.
The facts as Gator quoted them
called out applause as certainly as his
flights of "eloquence and sentiment"
When, after an hour Of free coinage
straight, John p Irish arose and re-
gretted that he Interrupted such a
flow of eloquence and sentiment, that
bit of politeness was pleasantly greet
ed, though it was evident that that too
was largely recognition on behalf of
the Gator argument.
Mr.. Irish is popular orator, but
the audience fretted as he started
away on his side of the subject. They
were disposed to ask questions which
they thought highly pertinent, and
which Mr.. Irish. with his we'll known
unruffleable poise, refused to consider
impertinent. He began with funny
story, which some of them consented
to laugh at, but this happy DISPOSE
tion was quickly followed by more
questions, such as How shall we pay
our debts?" ETC., until President Bak-
er felt called upon to plead for fair
hearing on behalf of Mr.. Irish from
the audience that had been cheering
and applauding every utterance of Mr.
Gator.
Il am receiving the most attentive
hearing, Mr.. President" said Mr. Irish,
biandly. mo San Francisco audience
and myself can ever have any misun-
Outstanding. How shall we pay our
debts?'" turning to the last ques ton
er, "Well, work and save, or borrow
the money" smilingly.
This gained him good natured
laugh.
But the audience had come in ad-
vance for Cator-sat waiting for him
there-and every resting place in his
really eloquent address was filed with
applause.
