charity only hypocrisy. But even if
this were not so, in bringing this mat
ter forward he only shows another ex-
ample of his skill in evading the real
question.
He speaks of the single tax idealS of
plenty without sweat, etc. There is no
such single tax ideal. Qu'e the con-
trary. The single tax Is intended to
insure plenty only to those who do
sweat, and not. as the present land
tenure, which Mr.. Livesey defend-,
does-insures plenty to many who do
not sweat.
In his first letter he makes out what
he must know is a misstatement, if he
knows anything about the single tax
at all, and that is that Henry George
wants the government to let out land
t, the highest bidder. and in his next
practically repeats it by asking-why
single takers who own land do not turn
it over to the government? Well, if
there is any satisfaction in pulling men
of straw to pieces, he is welcome to all
there is in it.
He tries to prove the justice of pri,
vate property in land by quoting from
the Bible. Wendell Phillips, when told
that this same book justified slavery,
answered. $50 much the worse for the
Bible" The same applies to land mo-
nopoly.
In your issues of Feb lG and % he
attempts to answer some questions, the
first being whether the laws of man
are source of justice at all Z? In an
swer he said, in eff ,c', that the individ-
ual opinions of the people of the coun-
try made a thing lu>t or unjust, an
answer which would justify theft,
murder, or any other moral crime if
misguided public opinion justified it.
The late Armenian outrn""s. for in
stance, are acts of justice. according
to Mr.. L,vesey. if Turkish law and
public opinion sanction them.
The same applies to his answer to
the second questlon-whe'hei law, the
''main source of jusilce,' was eve n
based on Justice
Instead of answering the third ques-
ton whether private ownership of
land was not the result of the laws of
man, he evades it by asking whelhcr
the single tax, if enacted into law,
would not be? OF course. 1t would,
but it would be q man-mad" law based
upon justice, not on injustice, as our
present land laws are.
To two other questions asking fer
Instances of land owned outside of tie
laws of man or direct from God, he
quotes the case of Abraham, to whom
and his seed God is said to have given
some land ? But what did this title
amount to without the consent of

Not Yet Broken.

An Aurara special dispatch to the
Chicago Inter Ocean says Edna R.
Brown Garman of kaneville, Ills,
originator of the famous letter chain;
system, which was widely discussed
recently in thepapers, and was started
by her for the purpose of collecting
cancelled postage stamps, still receives
several hundred letters per day, al
though the end of the chain was sup
posed to have been reached several
months ago. Recently among the let
ters received was one from Henry
Clancy of San Diego, Cal, inclosing
check for $500. Mrs. Brown Gar
mans letter chain was started about a
year ago, her unique scheme being to
secure 100000 Cancelled postage
stamps, which she hoped to sell for
enough to pay the expense of hospital
treatment for her crippled sister.in-
law, Matte Gar,nan. She wrote let
ters to three friends, who in turn were
to each write to three more, and so on
until the number Of so was reached.
The chain was then requested to stop.
Each person receiving letter was to
send ten cancelled stamps to Mrs.
Garman. The results We're wonderful.
For month letters poured into the
little kaneville postotiice at the rate
of 10000 day, and Mrs. Garman es-
Inmates the number of stamps received
at 100000. The crippled girl has
been sent to a hospital and can be
cured. This will be pleasant news to
those who aided Mrs. Garman in her
work of love and devotion to q Grip
pied girl, who, as will be seen by the
above, can and will be cured.

and started out on a speech nearly
three hours in length He seemed to
have the crowd at his beck ald call.
He twitted them about calling him
Mary Ann" saying Grover Cleve-
land had given his latest girl that
name and had monopoly on it.
Cheers He came to hear Tillman; :;
every time he heard him, he wanted
to hear him again. Tillman was a
Democrat. and he was Populist for
ever and forever. But how many
Democrats have you got in this coun-
try like Senator T.llmant l want you
to show to the people of this State that
YOU have learned that there is some
thing in this country bigger than all
labels. Show then that a Populist will
take the doctrines of Jefferson and
Jackson and Lincoln under any kind
of a label. That's the politics of a
Populist and that is the true patriot
he that puts the welfare Of his coun-
try above any party label. God save
any man who is Democrat and is
not the kind of a Democrat, Populist
or whatever you may call him that
Tillman is. Luther had to leave his
creed to preserve its purity. When he
had told the people of North Carolina
long ago that the financial question
was the question of the hour they had
called him a country crank He told
them that this was the trouble, the
thing that was making hard times.
He repeated at great length his mil
lionaire illustration reported in his
speech made at Tirzah. He took
hand primary to see how many would
vote to perpetuate the present condi-
ton of things. A forest of hands
went up in the negative. An honest
financial system the country was COM
PEELED to have at once. If sheep were
the medium of exchange in that State
one man could secure a corner on all
the sheep and he would have every
body else at his mercy. So it would
be if a gold standard was adopted. He
wanted financial system in which
every dollar had to stand on its own
bottom.
At this point it began to pour down
rain and the crowd adjourned to the
courthouse where he concluded his
speech, which was very long one.
When Senator Butler completed his
long speech, only portions Of which |
have given, the crowd pressed around
him and shook his hands as they
cheered him. 1 had talk with him
about the proposed new party, and it
now seems certain that the plan of the
free-silver-new-party men is to 60 into
the national convention of the Demo
cratic party in the hope of controlling
it through hard work in each State
prior to its assembling Then, failing
to control it, they will retire from the
hall, issue their call to dissatisfied Re
publicans who are for free silver, and
the Populists, to come in with them
and form new party, with victory in
sight. Columbia State.

A Terrible Fall.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-At the mann
moth coliseum show building, which
is being erected opposite the Worlds
Fair grounds on Sixty-third street,
this afternoon, Samuel Mccartney and
R. Mcneil were instantly killed by
the falling of a massive cross beam of
iron. Five hundred men were at work
in the open space bounded by the
four walls, placing and bolt
ing iron girders which are to
span the width of the structure. Nc
Carney and Mcneil were perched on
one of the girders, $50 feet in the air.
They crept 10 the centre of
the beam in order to put the bolts
in position, when the two men felt it
shake. The ends had not been fasten-
ed to the walls. Workmen shouted
from below, but the warning came too
late. The great mass swayed for a
moment, then overbalanced and top
pied tothe ground, carrying the occu-
pants to their death. Their bodies
were shockingly mangled. The scores
of workingmen barely had time to es-
cape being struck by the falling beams.

conquered country. She is struggling

every year to the Northern soldiers

tribute be returned to us by Northern

He enumerated the advantages OF
his dispensary system, and said that
the principal were the removal OF all
idea of profit and incentive to sell the
procuring of a standard article which
was sold undiluted, as it was not open
ed: the fact that it was not sold at
night, and only for cash. He was told
to stop then by the chairman.
There was the usual applause which
accompanied the Governor all the
evening, but the audience made no
conclusion as to who won last nights

A Sad Death.

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 14.-In Dav-
idson county yesterday Hamlet Swing
lost his life in his efforts to keep his
sweetheart from drowning. The
young couple were out driving when
the horse SHE'D in crossing bridge
and ran the buggy off. Mr.. Swing
jumped from the vehicle, but the
young lady, with the horse and bug
gy, went overheard, falling several
feet. The young man ran to the bank
and swan to the rescue of Miss CALI
more. In the struggle and excitement
she held him too heavily by the neck
and he sank and was drowned. Just
as she was sinking the last time Mr.
Robert Young came upon the scene in
a batteau, and seeing her long hair in
the water reached down and pulled
her out and she was saved. The body
of Mr.. Swing was found and taken
from the water about 10 o'clock at
night. He was about 20 years old
The horse was drowned also.

A Great Corn Year.

The corn crop of 1889 was 2,112,-
S92, 900 bushels. It was the largest
crop known in our history, but this
years yield promises to be still larger
and the estimate is that it will be o.
400, 100000 bushels.
The west will furnish a tremendous
share of this total and the south will
produce more than at any previous
period The price keeps up fairly
well, and the farmers will make a
profit. The st. Louis Republic says
corn is the most valuable agricultural
product of the United States; not only
because it is the largest, but because it
is manufactured and consumed at
home. The total crop is transformed
directly into human energy or adds
to the country's employment of indus
try by being fed to live stock. It is
corn which makes the American peo-
pie the best fed in the world; which
gives them variety and cheapness of
meat food, phenomenal when COM
pared with the past Of any other ma
ton and striking when compared with
the present. There has been some re-
pining because Europe will not i'm
port our corn and corn meal in large
quantities. Some earnest efforts have
been made to introduce the many
preparations for the table which we
find palatable and wholesome. Per-
haps these efforts are not thrown
away, but the most profitable export
of corn is in the form of meat. IF the
United States can sell abroad all the
meat their corn will make, they should
be pleased rather than discontented if
not a bushel of corn left our shores.
When the South manufactures its
cotton as closely as the west manufac-
lures its corn, the wealth of this Sec
ton will no longer suffer in compari-
son with the showing of New Eng
land. There is more to regret in the
large proportion of raw cotton exports
than in the small proportion of corn
exports. This big crop will create
wealth and trade just where they are.
needed. It will pay debts, increase
the value of real estate and benefit the
railways. Corn is the poor mans
crop. 1t requires very little capital
and can be produced almost anywhere.
It is fortunate that the South is pro-
ducing so much of this great staple.
We need it for man and beast, and
even if we do not send it to distant
markets it will keep great deal of the
money at home which we formerly
spent in tie West.

The Military Academy,

We havereceived the official register
of the South Carolina Military Aca-
danny for 1895, and it contains much
interesting information. This institu-
ton has been most highly recon-
mended il. the reports of United States
army inspectors, but the men it has
launched On the world are its highest,
recommendations. Lieut.. Col. G..
b. Burton, inspector general of the
United States Army in his report dated
1894 says: The discipline, military
instruction, bearing and general ap-
pearance of Cadets; the general care
and condition of arms and equipments
and the entire military aspect of the
military department Of this Academy
admits of no comparison to any of the
colleges with which have had expert
ence. It is so superior in all its meth.
DDS, scopes, appointments and its dis.
tinctive military features that it must
be closed alone, and can only be COM
pared to our National Military Aca-
DENY. Their limited means does not
permit the extended military curric-
ulm that obtains at the West Point
Academy especially respecting ad-
yanced theory and precticein ordnance
and gunnery and practical instruction
in cavalry drill; but in discipline,
methods and the practicala and theoreti-
cal part of an infantry officers educa-
ton they follow closely the West
Point methods and are but little in
ferior in accomplished work. In tie
set, military bearing, cohesion, and
drill of all kinds in the infantry tac-
tics this battalion equals any organiza-
ton in the army and is but little short
of that superb excellence generally
believed to be possessed by the West
PointCadetS.
