To THE EDITOR:-In the matter of

posed Lew hotel great deal of un-
deserved abuse IL, 1t seems to me, being
applied to the gentlemen who own the

building. This land is their privat tie
property, and they are no more IN g

consider to be II fair price than are Ell
Paso's merchants ''hoggieh'' in refUs-
iug To sell their stock IN trade for less
Lnan fair prices. That these lard own
ers are euabled to keep land out of use,
ike the prOverbial dog in the manger,
is indeed wrong, but the lard owner is

the proper thing to do is not to carp
or whine at lndiv duals for specializing
IN land, but 10 invest gate the syst IL
which allows such speculation. The
more 1t Is investigated the worse will
it appear. Not OnIy is Ell PaSo pre-
vented at the present time from secur
ing d tirst-class hotel, but the whole
community is made to pay tribute to
the landlords of Ell Faso, either in the
purchase price of vacant lots, or in
rent. Henry George has laid bare the
inquiry " ouE PIeSeu1 lduu Sysben,
al d he has shown how easily we may
right the wrong. By taxing the land
up TO its full value such land as the
hotel building requires would imme-
dlately be thrown upon the market at

and furthermore the effect would be to
restore to Ell Paso hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars now being surrendered,
absolutely, to landlords. The single
tax will do it. II. w. ALLEN.

A NEW MAGAZINE.

The passenger department of the Tex

sued their initial number of the Texas

NINE owners of Pennsylvania must
begin to see the evil effects of
their action, few years ago, in i'm
porting riOtous and bloodthirsty Huns
to take the place of American miners.
Even under the severest prOvocation
the American miners within the region
covered by the late great strike, have
kept within the pale of the law, but the
first time a party of ignorant and ex-
citable Hungarians came in contact
with a posse of deputies an almost
wholesale slaughter of the riOtous
foreigners appears to have become ne
cessary in order to save a sheriff from
their blind fury.

the campaign of 1S9S-the
question Of the usurpation of
the supreme court-govern-
ment by injunction, if you
please. On this point the
Twentieth Century we'll says:
eff there is any political ques-
ton that is vital to the welfare
of labor on the American con-
tinent, and, it may be said with
out exaggeration, to the vel
fare Of the human race, it is
this one of government by in
junction. The federal judi
ciary, since the strike of 1894,
has completely changed the
nature of our institutions by
their usurpation of power. The
most eminent heritage of the
Anglo-Saxon race, that of free
dom of speech and assemblage,
has been reduced to a nu1lity.
In no other country on the
globe has liberty been convert
ed into so monstrous a sham.

that the United States in this

while splendid systems

81 "a combination of combina-
tons" This is what the. Twen-
tieth Century calls new
movement set on. foot among
the big guns in the big corpor-
atoms whereby It is proposed
to crush every man in public
life who listens to the voice of
the common people. The thing
is nothing new, although it
may have just recently taken
on more definite form. There
has not been an American
statesman since the war who
has not either been won from
his loyalty to the common peo-
pie Ito Liberty and Justice in
their highest and most practi-
cal sense-or else been crushed
and driven from public life.
Sumner, Greeley, in the days
that followed reconstruction;
Thurman, Van Wyck, in later
years, to say nothing Of the de
feat of Charlie Towne last au-
tumn-a all are only a few Of the
more notable instances where
the champions of the people
have felt the displeasure of the
angry money power whose de-
signs they had baked. Cor
porations soon learn who are
their friends and who their
enemies. Would to God the
people had the sense to do the
same!

Kelly, the efficient factory in
spector of that state, whose re-
ports, because of their high
grade of correctness, have be-

reason that she most merci-
lessly exposed the notorious
violations of the child labor
law by the glass manufacture

creature of the manufacturers

that the law, so far as they are
concerned, are a dead letter,

There is something to interest nearly
every kind of reader in Frank Leslie's

diversity and timefness of it's contents
and the great profusion of it's illustra-

gives much interesting information
about the historic Waikiki Valley, in
New York state, and tells of the troubles
with the Indians, the founding of a
Huguenot village, the first meeting of
the State Legislature. etc. It is written
by John p. Ritter, who personally visit
ed the places described, taking many
excellent photographs, which are repro

The United Mine-Workers
met in convention Thursday
at Columbus, Ohio, to devise
ways and means for winning
the big coal strike. The fight
so far has been one of the most
rennark able labor struggles of
history, and on the whole, con-
sidering the number and cir
cumstances of. the men en-
gagged, one of the most peace
able. Every effort has been
made to goad the men into VIC
lence, and thus failing, reports
of violence have been in mum
erous cases manufactured out
of whole cloth in order
to turn public sympathy
against the workingmen. At
this date no one can say yet
how the end will come, but it
is worthy Of notice that the
Pittsburg miners, when they
met to elect delegates to Col
umbus, were enthusiastic in
their belief that the strike will
be won. .
