SINGLE TAX URGED.
An Argument That Municipal Cor
ruption Benefits Non-Owners
of Land

Philadelphia, Aug. 19-H. B. Tawresey
one of the Is or more Philadeli Slams
who enjoyed the hospitality of the Do
yer (Del) Jail for a brief period last
summer for expounding the single tax
doctrine on the streets of that city, yes
terday afternoon discussed before the
Liberal League Contractor Charles Nc
Caul's views on municipal contracts as
set forth in a recent pamphlet. His ar
gument throughout was on single tax
lines, his contention in the main being
that real estate alone should be taxed.
He disagreed with Mr.. McCauls views
as to how municipal reform should and
could be brought about, and commended
that for the non-land owner it was
policy to support political corruption
and share in the Spoils. To bring about
municipal reform as suggested by Mr..
McCaul, would, in Mr.. Tawresey's opin-
ion, deprive the non-land owner and
workingmen of the crumbs that fall
from the political machines table
Everything done by governments, and
especially municipal government, in the
way of improvement, tended to increase
values in which the land owners were
benefited, and they should be obliged to
pay all the taxes, while the non-land
owners and workingmen should be ex-
empt.

TWO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
They We're Red Men and Were Vic
timized by the Pale Face.

A suit has been filed in the federal
court to test the ownership of $40, 900
worth of property in Argentine. The
trouble arises from the use of the ia
miliar name of George Washington
Nancy =. hitefeather, a Wyandotte In
dian, had a grandson named George
Washington, and to him she left a por-
ton of her property There was anoth-
er child in the tribe burdened with the
same name who had a guardian by the
name of Gore.
This guardian, it is claimed not only
sold the property belonging to his
ward, but he also sold the lands be-
longing to George Washington No. /,
grandson of Nancy Whitefeather.
Now the heirs of the first George
Washington are trying to recover
through the United States circuit court
the property in Argentine, claiming
that it was unlawfully disposed of by
Gore

wHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.

The American Bankers association
has been in session at Detroit this
week Yesterday the members indulg-
ed in a sort of experience meeting and
delegates from every state in the Union
told the same story of increased bust
ness and bright prospects for the fu-
ture. One member, Branch, from
Richmond, Virginia, took occasion,
however. to sound a note of warning.
He told his brother members that a
long continuation of present conditions
could not be depended upon unless
there shall be early and radical
changes in the currency system of the
country. He said that unless some
thing were done along this line there
is danger that the people will take up
the matter and readjust the monetary
system to suit themselves.
Chief among his recommendations
were the retirement of the government
notes, and the repeal of the tax on
state banks Holding these ideas it is
not surprising that Mr.. Branch should
view with alarm the possibility of the
peoples formulating a new currency
system.
While opinion may be divided as to
the wisdom of retaining in the circu-
lation an element which has so often
been utilized as a medium for the with
drawal of gold from the treasury, there
has not thus far been manifested any
marked desire for a return to state
banks of issue which would follow the
repeal of the tax.
Greenbacks, treasury notes and ma
tional bank currency with all the OBJ
jections which have been urged against
them, would probably be preferred to
return to the wild cat" currency of
other days. If the people should un-
dertake the reformation of the cur
rency, as suggested by Mr.. Branch, it
is improbable, therefore, that it would
be along the lines which he proposes.
If that degree of general prosperity
mentioned by the members of the as
sociation prevails, it is improbable that
anything will be done either by the
people or by congress while it contin-
ues. Public business is carried on much
on the principle put forward by the
squatter in Arkansas who thought
about putting a roof on his house only
when it rained. When another finan-
cial crash comes, then the currency
system may be changed. probably not
before

A WOMAN'S TARIFF VIEWS.

New York, Aug. 19.-Several modest
American citizens felt for the first time

of dozen pairs of gloves. She was
assessed $22. Ohio is a protection

MUCH said Mrs. Currier. Il don't
think women's clothes ought to be
taxed, anyway. Put the duty on mems
clothes, if you like; but if women's APP
parel is taxed, the duty ought not to be
more than 25 per cent
Mrs. Currier had a love of a chip
straw bonnet, trimmed with silk
Don't you dare tax that bonnet!''
she exclaimed to the appraiser, but it
went together with the other nice things
into the inventory.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT.

Two Tickets Nominated In St. Louis

ST. Louis, Mo-, March .:aa.-The
Democratic city convention was the
noisiest in the history of the local
party organization. There were two
sets of temporary officers trying to
conduct the business at once for a set
of shouting delegates and an uproar-
ious lobby that would let neither side
act. Arrests were made by the police,
and finally there was an open split.

labor commissioner, for mayor on the

FITZSIMMONS WINS.

Defeats Champion Corbes. In Fourteen
Rounds by Heart blow.
CARSON. New. March lS-Robert
fitzsimmons is the champion pugilist
of the world. He has claimed the title
for over year, but yesterday after
noon he demonstrated his right to it in
a fair fight. He met his one great
rival. James J. Corbett. in the squared
circle. and in the fourteenth round he
knocked him out, :" as he had knocked
OUT many a good man before him.
The victory was not gained without
a struggle. In fact, victory did not
seem possible for Fitzsimmons until
the last moment of the battle. Many
had thought he was slowly going to
pieces, but when the opportunity
came he had been watching for. the
end of the fight came almost in sim
gle blow. He struck the Californian
with force sufficient to have felled an
OK just below the heart, and sent him
to the floor with agony and despair on
his face. and unable to rise within the
limit which would save him.
