trying to dodge his personal taxes for
long time. He will no doubt be
thankful for this small favor. This
system is worth many millions of dol
lars and has enormous incomes, but it
is morally wrong to tax personal prop

Oil, flour, coal beef, matches, cleo
tricity, gas, whiskey and almost any
thing is more mOnopolized than land.
There is scarcely anything you can
call land monopoly in this country
and my friend admits there is no land
monopoly at the outset of his article.
In ending it however, he says if you
abolish land monopoly all other mono
plies will die. L would like to ask him
how this can be when there is no land
monopoly? l hope my friend does not
escape to the swamps and get lost i'll
the tangles of his theory in answering
this. What causes land monopoly and
how does my Jriend know I am not
opposed to it? I am opposed to land
monopoly and opposed to Single Tax,
which does not oppose the monopoly
of land or any other monopoly.
AS to millionaire perhaps,

conscience, can believe any man evel

of speculation except land speculation

My friends and myself heard it and

that paradox.

HARPER's MAGAZINE. - The May
number of Harper'S Magazine opens
with an article on "Mark Twain, by
his longtime friend, Rev. Joseph H.
Twichell. The attitude of England
during the Civil War in America is
strikingly set forth in two letters writ
ten in 1899 and 1868 by William E.
Gladstone to the late Cyrus W. Field.
These important letters, with related
correspondence, hitherto unpublished,
appear in an exceedingly interesting
paper called England and America in
1868: A Chapter in the Life of Cyrus
W. Field" An analysis of ''The En-
glish Crisis" is contributed by an
Eastern diplomatist. Howard Pyle
last summer made a journey through
inland waters by canal-boat from New
York to Lake Champlain, sketching
bits of picturesque life and landscape
by the way. The result will be given

HYAcINTHS.

Long time my hyacinths abode
In cerement-swathing gloom;
To-day they fill with spicy breath
And light of loveliest bloom
The chamber where my darling sits,
And cheer her darkened room.
So out of shadowy cell full oft
Streams forth golden ray
To show the path our feet shall tread,
To smooth doubtful way,
And evermore, fast following night,
Comes on the kindling day.
Dear little garden preachers, who
Such tender lessons speak,
The meaning of my hyacinths
Is never far to seek:
You give the sOrrOwing sympathy,
And strength you give the weak.

Transvaal troubles are not settled
yet. Mr.. Chamberlain has sent anoth-
er dispatch to President Kruger,
friendly in tone, but insisting that the
Uitlanders grievances must be redress
ed, and that it is Great Britain S right
and duty to interfere in their behalf.
The world knows we'll the bearings of
the controversy by this time. 1t
knows that the Beers were in full
and legal possession of the Transvaal,
that the Uitlanders were intruders,
who were permitted to come into the
country and mine gold; that they be-
came inpatient of Boer rule, and, hav
ing become numerous, assumed that
their numbers gave them the right to
govern the country in their own way.
The Jameson raid was the result of
the British South Africa Company's
attempt to give them support and ena-
BILE them to seize the government.
They have no rights except the right
of might, but Mr.. Chamberlain's de-
spatch indicates that Great Britain will
help them to assert that right, by vir
tue of which she has added so many
provinces to Victoria's dOminions.

We recently called attention to the
advance which has been made in the
United States i'll morality. We pointed
to the passing of the duel, of prize
fighting, of the lottery, and of certain
forms of gambling, and expressed the
conviction that the world is growing
better. Every day, nearly, there are
signs of improvement i'll the character
of the legislation enacted Virginia
has Just put on here statute book,
after a notable campaign of discussion,
law designed to prevent organized and
professional gambling. The victory is
hailed by the moral forces of the State
as a great moral victory; and so it is.
1t will lead to more and stronger leg
islation against one of our great mod
ern evils. Everybody recalls the
splendid triumph in New Jersey over
race-track gambling, a triumph so
complete that there is no respectable
opposition to the incorporation of a
prohibitOry clause in the Constitution.
And yet only two or three years ago
the gamblers seemed to be in posses
sion of the State. May not the time
be near at hand when the moral tide
in Delaware will wash out Addicksism
and vote-buying, and depriving men of
their inalienable right of voting by the
disfranchising processes of the cOllec-
tors and the Levy Courts?

Old Defenders on a Visit.

There was a notable reception in
Baltimore Thursday. One hundred
and twenty-five old men reached the
Monumental City from Pennsylvania
and other points on their way to visit
Washington.
These men were survivors of the
first Pennsylvania volunteers to be
sent to Washington in 1861 to defend
the national capital They were in
their prime and had left their homes
and their families in response to call
for troops made necessary by the
breaking out of the rebellion. When
they reached Baltimore thirty-fve
years ago they were hooted by the
mob, which sent up cheers for the
Southern COnfederacy, and were hur-
ried out of the city in freight cars,
under the protection of the police. A
few days later the mob attacked Mas
sachusetts regiment in Baltimore and
several persons were killed in the CON
fiict. The few First Defenders who
reached Baltimore Thursday were
given a hearty welcome, being the
guests of the city and the Grand
Army veterans of the town They
were dined and sent on their way to
Washington III parlor cars.
The generous reception given these
grey old soldiers must have aOOealad
strongly to their feelings, when they
made mental comparison between
their first and their last receptions in
in Baltimore.
