I An interesting letter from Mr..
Chas. e. McCulloch, will be found
i'll this paper. Mr.. McCulloch is
one of the largest farmers and
stock raisers in Mason county, and
what he says in that letter upon
the question of free coinage of sill
yer, and its restoration to its posi-
ton as money metal, should have
weight with thinking people. Mr..
McCulloch is lifelong Republi-
can, but like thousands of other
Republicans, party utilization has
been merged into the question of
relief from the iniquitous financial
policy of the Republicans party,
which, if continued, will make
serfs and slaves of the people.

Can a Halt.

It's about time to call a halt on
Republican papers or any other
kind, calling the supporters of the
Chicago nominees anarchists.
There ere something's that can be
allowed in politics, but this ismore
than patriots will allow. No gem
tleman will even insinuate that his
neighbor, who has always been
true to the constitution, is an an
archist, Just because he holds a diff
ferent opinion in politics. If the
Mckinley men have no other argu-
ment than ephithets like these,
they would better pull in their
sails.

East India's Flying Frogs.

From the New York World.
The flying squirrel Is member of the
rodent family familiar to every American
lad that knows the woods of his vicinity.
A flying frog. however, would amaze him,
although the small boys of East India are
as familiar with it as American boys are
with the flying squirrel
The East India flying frog Is really a
soarer, as is the flying squirrel. Its toes
are very long, as the picture shows. They
are connected by thin bat-wing MEN,
membranous folds are tucked srugly away
between the toes.
When the toes are extended and the mem
brane is taut, the fore part of the flying
frogs legs are greater in area than the
rest of his body.
One frog captured by a naturalist was
about four inches long. The skin between
the toes of the hind feet measured four
and one-half square inches while the area
taken up by the extended skins of all four
feet exceeded twelve square inches. The
discs, the peculiar construction of which
permits the frog to take a firm hold of the
branches. Another popularity of this frog
is its power to inhale and store in the body
large volume of air By this means the
body is considerably distended, and its
weight, compared with its bulk reduced
This faculty and the large surface offered
by the membrane between the toes enables
the freq to fly a short distance from
branch to branch.
The back and legs are of lustrous green
color; the belly and toes are yellow; the
skin between the toes black and decora ted
with yellow stripes.

Jessie Eindley, a seventeen-year-olI Ok
lahoma girl, is recognized as the champion
woman horse breaker Of the west and 1t is
safe TO say that there are not many eastern
girls who can approach her record. She
mas lived life of outdoor adventure and
her experience in breaking and training
Eorses has taught her that She need NOT
fear the widest broncho. On one occasion
she rode 80 miles in five days, which was
sufficient TO exhaust the men who accom-
panied her. AT another time she plunged
into the North Canadian with her pony
when it was running bank full, and not the
most ambitious of her male companions
dared follow her.
Very few buckiEg ponies have ever sue
Ceeded in getting the better of Jessie Find
ley She knows If by instinct what
tricks the fractions beasts are about to ex-
ecute and she is more than match for any
of them. Horses that have remained per-
sistently wild under ordinary management
invariably yield to her peculiarly magical
methods.
In spite of her boyish training, Miss Find
ley retains a very feminine air, and curls
her hair and wears frills at her neck pre-
cisely like any other young girl of the same
age.

AN ELECTRIC ROAD SOLD.
The TenleytOwn and Rockville Prom
erty Disposed of ut Auction


erfy Disposed of ut Auction
The Tenleytown and Rockville electric
railroad was sold Tuesday at Bethesda,
us northern terminus, a. public auction
ard the purchaser was Mr. o. T. Crosby.
The price at which the sale closed was 1885,.
800, which represents but a fraction of
what the road has cost. The purchase in
cludes everything. the tracks, wires. rolling
STOCK and al lreal estate, and last, but
not least, the franchise of the road. This
IS the most desirable acquisition to the
purchaser. The franchise gives the road
the right of way clear to Rockville. When
the road was first built the intention was
to run to Rockville, but the road was only
completed half way far enough to open nm
considerable real estate belonging to the
owners of the new road.
The purchaser of the road, Mr. Crosby,
is president Of the Georgetown and T'enlev-
town railroad, and also largely interested
IN the Iotomac Light ana Power Com
pany. While the purchase is made in his
name. there is hardly any doubt of other
people being interested in the matter with
him. More than this. now that the right
OF way has been secured, it is extremely
likely that in short while the work of ex-
teEding the tracks of the road through to
Rockville will be commenced. This has
been contemplated for some time, and has
heretofore been stated in The Star.
The Tenleytown and Rockville road was
to have been sold at public auction about
two years ago, but the sale was stopped
by order Of the circuit court of Montgom-
cry county. The case has been settled
however, and the court decided to allow
the sale to proceed under its sanction. The
sale was under a deed of trust, and was
uI-der the supervision of Judge James B.
Henderson of Rockville and Mr.. Adds B.
Browne OF this city, the trustees.

FROM NHhiS0 Chronicle.
The late Robert Louis Stevenson will
have statue in Portsmouth Square San
Francisco. The committee having the mat
ter in charge has approved the plan pre-
pared by Willis Polk and Bruce Porter
When the monument was first projected
the idea uppermost in the minds of the
committeeman was to have straight,
simple shaft so embellsheG as to convey a
suggestion Of the authors work, especially
that performed in San Francisco
In response to the invitations extended
to some of the best-known architects in
the country. designs poured in from the
east of every shape and form. Most of
item, however, were judged TO he either
too elaborate or lacking in some necessary
detail, and deSpaiIing of outside assist
ahce, Messrs. Polk and Porter set 20 work
10 make design for themsel ..s
The result of their efforts has been emil
nentIy successful. Rereriing 20 the cripi-
nal idea, their design consists of a simpIe
pedestal. surmounted by a shin, this being
considered as the most representative en-
Dlem OF Stevenson's work in California
This PEDESTAL will be of some California
marble while the ship, with her sails set,
VIII be OF bronze. Its base will be of broad
tagging. The face of the pedestal will
bear an inscription, there being room
enough to put in an extract from the au-
thors best known work.

"SINGLE TAX AS SEE IT."
Rev. DR.. Kent Discusses the Henry
George Philosophy.

Rev. DR.. Kent of the Peoples Church
gave his views on the srgle tax as he saw
it before the Washington Single Tax Club
last night. DIR. Kert sad that while he
believed in the justice of the single tax, he
was not convinced that ITS adoption would
be followed by the material prosperity of
the industrial classes. so generally predict
ed by single tax advocates.
DR.. Kent criticised that plank of the sin
gle tax platform which declares leach man
is entitled to all that his labor produces"
He declared that he was at loss to see
how labor could find employment under the
wage system. Who would care to employ
and then turn over to them all that their
labor had produced?
AS method of raising revenue, Dr. Kent
highly approved of the single tax. He ex-
pressed his dissent with those single tax
ers who are proposing to compromise witt
the landowners. THE single tax REFORM"
he said. lis movement for justice in the
interests of the people. and any proposal
to compromise is a proposal to surrender
the peoples rights" One might well
wage war against slavery and then pro-
pose to let the STAKEHOLDER keep part of his
slaves If he would release the rest.
DR.. Kent said he favored free trade as
he did free thought and free speech, but
he was not sure that it would bring added
comfort and improved conditions to all
chsses Justice demanded the abolition of
said, has brought to the great majority of
them more of privaton, want and suffer-
ing than they ever knew before" So it
| might be, he thought, with this step to-
ward equality CT opportunity and freedom
Of competition.
While he could not concur in all that
was predicted of the single tax, he believed
it would accomplish much of what is claim
ed for it. 1t would take the weight of tax
alton from the farmers and the working
| man. it would dispense with multiplicity
of taxes and Il horde of tax gatherers;
simplify government and reduce its cost.
1T would he thought, lessen fraud. cor
ruDt.on and the gross inequality insepara-
bile from present methods of taxation
| methods which are most fruitful of dishon-
esty, and which allow the rich to escape
while they grind the poor. 1t would de-
stroy some of the trusts and monopolies.
1t would do away with all fines and penal
| ties Oh productive and creative industry.
1t would, if fully applied. make the holding
of land Improbable to the owner and prof
table only to the user" AS to other things
claimed FOR it he was not sure.
