ARGUING FOR SINGLETAX.
Enthusiastic Speeches Made by Mr.
Pechin and Others.


The doctrine of Maltbus that population
tends to increase faster than the means OF
subsistence, and hence poverty ensues, re-
ceived a black eye last night at the meeting
of the Single Tax Club in Typographical
Temple.
MT. Maurice Pechin was the principal
speaker. In low state OF society, he
said, the tendency was to increase in num-
beers. but under a high state of civilization
an equilibrium was eStab ablished. He con-
sidered the competitive system as but q
means of working out that condition when
equality should exist.
The single tax he declared to be in the
line of reform to establish Justice, to open
natural opportunities and the gradual de.
velopment OF the races into q higher state
of society.
The same line of argument was continued
at conside rable length by Messrs. Peters.
Berbage and Newbergh.
An enthusiastic aaaress was also made
by Nj. George 8. Krause, of KepsipgtOD.
in relation to the single te X in Cenerai n nd

EpiScOpalfa About to 1naugnrAte
an Important Movement.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 2s.-According to
present plans move of national importance
in the Episcopal church will be started at
the next meeting of the Cleveland Glorious,
to be held at Akron next Monday. The
Cleveland Glorious is composed of the
Cleveland Episcopal clergy.
The Episcopal church has no young peo-
pies society that ranks with the Epworth
League OF the Methodist Episcopal church
and the Christian Endeavor Society of the
other Protestant churches. The Epwortll
League Is considered exclusive. but the
Episcopalians could have affiliated with
the Endeayorers had they chosen to do so.
One reason why they have not is that some
of them think that the Endeavorers are SO
devoted TO their society that they think
more of 1t than they do or their churches.
The new Epscopaian Society, which Is
TO be discussed by the local clergy will cou-
form strictly to church lines. II will be, at
all times secondary to the Episcopal church
young peoples society of this kind once
established. it is held, Will have O tre-
inendous growth throughout the country.

turn back the clock in order to assist an
appropriation at the close Of the session,
but when the light went out the session
closed.
Athelstan succeeded his father, Ed
ward the Presiding Elder, and resem-
bled him a good deal by defeating the
Welsh, Scots and Danes. In those days
agriculture, trade and manufacturing
were diversions during the summer
months, but the regular business of life
was warfare with the Danes Scots and
Welsh.

Edmund, the brother of Ethelstan, at
the age Of Is succeeded his brother on
the throne.
One evening, while little hilarity
was going on in the royal apartments
Edmund noticed among the guests a
robber named Leolf, who had not been
invited. Probably he was pickpocket,
and as a royal robber hated anybody
who dropped below grand larceny the
king ordered his retainers to put him
out.
But the retainers shrank from the un-
dertaking. Therefore Edmund sprane
from the throne like a, tiger and buried
his talons in the robbers tresses There
was a mixture Of feet, legs, teeth and
features for moment, and when peace
was restored King Edmund had watch

chieftain was wiping his stabber on one
of the royal tides.
Edred now succeeded the deceased
Edmund, his brother, and with heavy
heart took up the eternal job of fighting
the Danes. Edred set up sort Of pro-
vincial government over Northumber-
land, the refractory district, and sent a
governor and garrison there to see that
the Danes paid attention to what he
said st. Dunstan had considerable in
f1uence over Edred and was promoted q
great deal by the king, who died in the
year 955.
He was succeeded by Edwy the Fair,

tween the Ethels and the Welsh and
Dane there was little time left in
England for golf or high tea, and Ed

der to the king One evening, when a
banquet was given him in honor Of his
coronation, the king excused himself
when the speeches got rather corky and
went into the sitting room to have a
chat with his wife, Elgiva, of whom he
was very fond, and her mother. St.
Dunstan, who had still to make speech
on foreign missions, with yard or SO Of
statistics, insisted on Edwy's return.
An open outbreak was the result. The
