Another excursion by the same committee
Of ten men is planned for August 9TH to Cape

themselves as delighted with the trip. The

This is the last excursion this season as the
boat will make three trips week after that
date, so this is the last chance to visit Cape
Nav this season via steamer Frederick. The

The Prejudice May Be Modified

One point in relation to the future
of Cuba may be worth while cOnsid-
ering 1t is perfectly well under
stood that as things now are the
United States does not seek the
island. There is well-founded
prejudice against taking in bodily
a foreign population, but it is worth
while to recognize that the prejudice
may be greatly modified by future
events. Cuba, if delivered from its
foreign yoke and oppressive taxes,
would be one of the most populous
and prosperous of countries. Its
soil is so fertile as to be able without
difficulty to support a population of
20,000,O00 people. There would I'M
questionably set in a tremendous
immigration TO Cuba, if its freedom
were established, and very likely the
great majority of immigi ants would
be Americans, seeking to extend
their trade relations and to improve
their fortunes amidst the wonderful
natural treasures of the island. 1t
is likely that within few years the
population would be far more Amer
lean than foreign, and, in so far as
this change might take place, it
would facilitate the process Of ulti-
mate absorption by the United
States. OF course this is far in the
distance, but, with the present out
look of the insurrectioR, it seems as
if the question of ctr future govern
ment eff Cuba is not so remote.

as they RECALLED themselves with ice cream

We commenced selling furni-

fairly launched in selling other
goods-early in 1885 to be
exact. We gathered what
seemed a comprehensive stock

market. But buyers had come
to look to Wanamaker's for

twas something new under
the sun.
People liked it, and gave us
a bigger furniture trade than
any other merchant ever
dreamed of. Makers liked the.
change-they always like bet
terment when somebody else
is brave enough to stand the
risk.
Then came the August Fur
niture Sales-thedull month of
the year utilized to distribute
vast quantities of goods, We
could afford to do the store

business and kept the wheels

WE have given during the pas
few weeks, little of our space tc
letters from those who are inter
ested in the single tax theory and
because of this some few have taken
It that we are inclined to the BELIEF
of there being something good in it
Our columns are open to all, partic
ularly to those who do not agree
with us, and this is our reasOn-onl
eAcuse-for allowing anything SC
silly to appear in our columns. We
are not socialists and we are not fools
enough to accept such theory as
the followers of Henry George
preach and to all appearances believe
in The idea Of making land values
nav all taxes is preposterous. The
theory is to tax land all it will pro
duce and thereby make the few
those who are land Owners,-pay all
the taxes. In other words, if man
owns a farm and rents it on shares
TO 4 tenant the tax on that farm will
be equal to the amount of rent the
tenant pays the landlord. If you,
the tenant, pay in grain, fruit, etc.,
five hundred dollars a year, then the
tax is put at five hundred dollars a
vearand the landlord, of course must
nav this amount, according to their
theory. or else forfeit his land for
taxes. The idea is fallaciOus and
ridiculous and the people of this
State will never be led into adopting
such a policy. Air and water are
free but land is not, and all the mis-
sionarv work these misled ones may
do will be for naught in this State.
We shall continue as occasion and
convenience offers to publish a few
of their letters to us addressed, but
we do not desire to be understood
as favoring anything so fallacious
and so positively wild and visionary
and foolish as the Henry George Sin
ole Tax idea. We believe in free
speech and a fair field, and this we
are disposed to submit tO,even to the
giving of little of our space, but as
far as our even countenancing such
theory or accepting it as best for our
people,we are not>prepared to do so,
nor will we ever be so prepared. The
whole thing is unjust in theory and
impossible in practice. The State
or Nation that would attempt such
a thing on the lines proposed by
Henry George, would be inviting
civil war and the result Of putting
their ideas INTO practice would GER
tainlv lead to a revolution. There
is not any danger, however, of their
ideas ever amounting to anything in
this State. Our people are too SEN
sible and too law-abiding and too
God-fearing to think of ever being
so unjust as to put all the burdens
Of the public upon the shoulders Of
the few. There is not and will not
be any "single Tax" in ours.

German owns his party in Mary
land; or so much Of as is necessary
to give him control of the conven-
tions. It remains to be seen how
completely he owns his party at the
polls. The Baltimore Sun says the
ticket as nominated on Wednesday
by the German machine ought to be
defeated and it calls on the better
elasses-those who are not owned
body and soul by Gorman--tO come
out and elect the Republican ticket.
The Sun Is right.
The ticket ought to be defeated
lust as positively as the Republicans
defeated Delamater some years ago
in Pennsylvania. The machine in
politics should Como matter whether
it be a Republican or a Democratic
or any other machine. The day is
ripe for clean politics and the clean
men of all parties are more and
more recognizing this fact. We
shall be pleased indeed to see Cor
man and his ticket defeated in Mary
land and we congratulate the Repub-
lieons of that State on their bright
prospects of success, but we fear the
prospects will not prove quite bright
enough. German knows how to
manipulate at the polls on election
day equally as we'll as he does at the
primaries. He will be hard to down
but then there have been greater
falls than this possibly prospective
one.

was certain; hence the necessity for max

The Louisiana Senators having failed in
their appeals to Caesars men, Carlisle and
Bowler, to let their sugar growing consdt-
uents have the money Congress appropn =
ated for them, have taken their appeal to
Cesar Cleveland himself. These Sena-
tors know just as well as everybody else
does that their appeal will be useless, the
holding up of that sugar bounty money
having been sanctioned by Mr. Cleveland
long before little Bowler set himself up as a
sort of one-man Supreme Court, to decide
the constltutionality of Acts of Congress
appropriating money; but having made
Secretary Carlisle put himself on record in
Bowler's support they wish to compel Mr..
Cleveland to do the same Little Bowler's
action is a foregone conclusion, although he
will. on August 9TH, go through the farci-
cal proceeding of listening to arguments in
favor of the constitutionality of the sugar
bounty law. He has been ordered to hold
up that money and he will do it.
1t is somewhat difficult to understand
Democratic ideas of economy One mem
Der of the Cabinet-Secretary Morton-has
he says, as a measure of economy abol-
ished the distribution of seeds to the far
mers of the country, in defiance of Congress,
which appropriated the money to buy the
seeds and to pay for their distribution. An
other member of the Cabinet-Secretary
Hsrbert-has started on a six weeks tour
of the Atlantic coast summer resorts. on
board of the u. S Dispatch boat Dolphin,
at public expense. He didn't say that his
pleasure trip was also a measure of econ
omy but he tries to disguise its real nature
by pretending thst it is made for the pur
pose of inspecting the Government Navy
Yards on the Atlantic.
The nations of the world seem to know
the timid nature of the Cleveland Admins
tration quite as well as Americans do
Months ago France was asked to furnish
a copy of the papers in the case Of ex Con
sui Waller who is now in French prison,
and itrefused, AN unprecedented thing to do
Another demand has since been made for
the papers, and State Department officials
express the opinion that another refusal will
in due course be made. Meanwhile an
American citizen is languishing in a French
prisOn,o on what he claims to be trumped up
charges and an unfair trial. This admin
istration seems to be opposed to protection
for Americans either at home or abroad.

have not given away such a large
