PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.
Single Takers Resolve to Advocate 1
in the District

single Takers Resolve to Advocate 1t
in the District
The single takers Of the District were
entertained last evening at Typographical
Temple with an address by Lieutenant
Pendleton on the subject, "Single Tax
and Socialism differentiated" President
Bnler presided, with DR.. William Geddes as
secretary.
Lieutenant Pendlcton's contention was In
part that if the socialists had all they sought
the result would be an increase of rent to
the landlcss, provided private ownership OF
land was not abolished. Professor PendIe-
ton held that it was not the denial of com
petitivc rights to the Iaboring man as held
by the socialists, that was his greatest III,
but the denial OF him TO the great universal
landed domain.
A short address was also made by Mr.
Smart on behalf OF the socialists; and Mr..
Newberg, by request, stated explicitly the
doctrines OF the single takers.
Mr.. J. L. MCCreary presented copy OF
the original work, Tho Theory of Human
Progression" to Judge Maguire, who re-
ceivcd it with few appropriate remarks.
Mr.. F. L. Siddons offered n resolution,
which was adopted. that the club make an
effort to bring about Il repeal OF personal
property tax In the District by petition to
Congress and otherwise.
The proceedings were closed by short
and earnest address by Rev. DR.. Alexander
Kent, pastor OF the Peoples Church.

A Congressional Geyser Eruption.

Unless Congress had safety valve to
blow off the superfluous wind Of lis
members when occasion demands, there
would be danger of high pressure ex-
ploSion in that geyser-like body. Just
now it is in a spouting period. and Ambas-
sador Bayard seems to have been the un-
the garrulous moods with which he has
recently become afflicted, 1t is alleged
a violent people, and that the election OF
1894 had placed lot of iobbers and
eIlatterers in Congress instead OF states
men. 1t is said he also made reference
20 the "high priests of protection and
the oppression OF trusts" all Of which
was rank heresy to Americans who believe
in n protective policy.
The question that has sprung the valve
OF the geyser at the Capitol is whether
or not Amba ssador Bayard, acting as our
United States represe ntatire, had right to
make these utterances. There is no doubt as
tothcir truthfulness, nor doesany one attack
him on that ground. The offense seems
chiefly to have been OF an official nature,
and Mr.. Bayard is to be censured by a
Republican Congress as an ambassador and
not as an American citizen, whose charges

Editor Times: Your able editorial on the
proposed civil pension scheme, in Tuesday
afternoon's edition, is not up to your usual
foresight i'll relation to public policy.
While it is admitted that some pension
plan would be of great benefit to the
government employees when they become
old and incapacitated, the proposed bill
is not fair in its provisions, and Is n the
interest OF persons now, or soon to be
eligible as pensioners, and who, necess arily,
escape the payment of their proportion

pension equal TO 80 per cent of his present
compensation.
Then again there should be some pro-
vision made by which every employe
could feel that he would not be reduced
or dismissed without at least having the
opportunity OF facing his accusers and de
Tending himself from trumped up charges
often made up for partisan reasons.

The committee desire to express many
thanks for the prompt and generous response
which has been made to its appeal. While
the winter has been an open one and the de-

cannot but feel that the faCttha only little

There was nothing startling in Commis-
sioner Powelrs testimony yesterday in the
case OF the District against the United
States Electric Lighting Company, that
both he and his associates have been know
ingly violating theIaw in granting permits
10 tear up our streets for the purpose Of
laying conduits. But il would doubtless
cause considerable comment should either
one of the triumyirate state under oath that
he had either complied with the law or
even attempted TO carry out its provisions
as applied TO the discharge of his several
duties as a District executive officer. In

the oath of office TO such officials as

this method Of furnishing political Of
fender will elevate our Democratic ambas-
sador in the estimation of his party with
out particularly changing the status of his
prosecutors in the eyes of the public. But
it will afford the Congressional geyser
another opportunity to blow Off. and also
to add more campaign thunder TO the al

Should it some time dawn on the over

the censure OF Ambassador Bayard are
more harmful to public interests than the
foolish declarations OF individuals it will
be a good thing for the country. >>As long
as President Cleveland is at the White
House the assertions OF Mr.. Bayard will
be sustained, therefore the time wasted in
discussing the resolutions could have been
employed TO better advantage. The only
result that can be expected from such
