The Philadelphia Inquirer in dis
cussing the political situation in Cali
fornia and Washington, and says:
The Importance of this campaign lies
in the effect that it's results will have
upon national politics a few years
hence. Should the Democratic candi-
date win this fight upon the issues in
dicated, the Pacific Coast will come to
the Democratic National Convention
with a single-tax plank. Naturally,
California should go Republican this
year.
This is the way it looks to distant
spectator, one that bears the reputa-
ton Of being fair and far-seeing. 1t
will be seen that the view from Phila-
delphia is precisely that taken by the
Republican party in California, namely,
| that the single tax is an issue made
such by the candidacy of Mr. Mcguire
and the cowardly acquiescence of the
Democratic party. The Inquirer goes
| beyond this, however, and declares
| that from Mr.. Maguire's course in
| Congress and out of it, he is really in
| the drift that rushes on to the COM
mune; that he is ahead Of the De-
mocracy in this, the logical path of
which leads in thefsame direction. This
| is an arraignment to which not even
| his Republican opponents in California
have subjected Mr.. Mcguire. We have
| thought and said that he is in the
| food tide that leads to the most pro-
nounced socialistic agitation: that he
| believes in the State as the one and
only proprietor, and that his drift into
| the paternalism Of socialism is posi-
| tive. But it has remained for an East
ern critic to declare that the course
| he has been steering leads directly
perhaps unconsciously-into commun-

IR. MAGUIRES EVASIVE AN
SWER.

Mr.. Mcguire has been compelled by
a storm Of inquiry to again open his
lips upon the single tax question. He
replies evasiveIy, namely, that if elect
ed he would have no power to introduce
the single tax into the revenue policy
of the State. That is disingenuous. He
would not have the power" but he
would have the right to exert all the
powerful influence of his office to ac-
complish the adoption of the theory.
The platform on which he stands
pledges every man elected upon 1t to
the Legislature to propose a single tax
amendment to the Constitution upon
which the people would be compelled to
vote. That is, the platform calls for
the submission of a constitutional
amendment under which any city or
county can adopt any system of coll
lecting revenue it may fix upon.
Mr.. Mcguire has not, and he will not
deny that he believes in and has sworn
to labor to the last hour of his life for
the doctrine that the single tax is the
panacea for all the political ills known
or fancied among men. For that he
deliberately left the Democratic party
and forswore the political faith of
his early manhood. Yet, with the pos
sibilities within the power of the Gov
ernor of this State, Mr.. Mcguire has
the assurance to ask the people to
vote for him, under his vague state
ment that however much he wishes to
see the single tax doctrine adopted into
the State system, he cannot force it
upon the people.
But people vote for or against candi-
dates for executive office for reasons,
litical and economic beliefs. 1t makes
very little difference whether they have
the power" to force them upon the
people. If the candidate believes a
certain political doctrine, the people are
intelligent enough to know-despite Mr..
Maguire's assumption to the contrary
that by their affirmative votes they in
dorse the belief of the candidate
So, too, Mr.. Mcguire has distinctly
said in Congress that he does not be-
lieve it practicable or right to exclude
anarchists, nihilists and the like from
immigration into the country It is
conceded that as Governor he could
not effect anything in preventing the
exclusion of such undesirable classes,
nevertheless with the announcement of
his belief concerning anarchists fresh
upon his lips voters realize that his
election would amount to an indorse-
ment of his views that such classes are
Republicans of Spain" and Demo-
Gratis of Russia" and, therefore, de-
sirable to have among us.

FORT MONROE, August 9.-Yery little Of
import has transpired since my last letter
and life has been going along in the same old
monOtonous way.
We were in hopes at one time this week
that we would be sent to Porto Rico, for we
have orders from the Secretary of War to 60,
but now we have given up hopes OF ever get
ting away from here, as peace seems 80 near,
so guess We might as well make up our
minds to remain and do guard duty and
! watch the sick who are daily coming from
| the South. The new hospitals are nearly
| completed and there will be many more sick
brought up and quartered in them, and as the
buildings are located over a mile from the fort
| would not be surprised If one battalion was
moved up to guard them.
The fire alarm, of one gun, was sounded
Just now and the department turned out and
| were on the spot in less than five minutes. but
| 1t was found to be a small fire on the railway
trestle Of the c. &. o. K. r., which was extin-
| guished without using the engine.
Pay day has cone and gone, and think that
| there was large decrease in the amount of
| disorder by the men as the regulars and the
| volunteers are becoming much more con-
genial. Many of the men are once more In
| financially embarrassed condition, and the
| same old question of "Lend me dollar, - has
| began to assail the ones who have had pres
| ence of mind enough to keep their pay.
Our company is once more drilling very
| finely in battalion drills, for while at the
| upper camp they usually had skirmish drills
! and even when they did have battalion drill,
i the ground was so rough and there were SO
l many stumps and trees on 1t that it was i'm
| possible to make good line. We were com
| plimented this afternoon by the ma or on our
i drilling, for he says we are decidedly the best
company in the regiment at dress parade,
4 and we have some first class companies to
| drill against.
| The harbor continues to be crowded with
| GOLFERS, battleships and transports and there
| is quite lot OF food being shipped to
| southern climates.
The new corporals who were appointed last
week are doing nicely. Most Of them have
been given q chance at guard duty and no
mistakes have been charged up against them.
| tain, as quite number OF the men have been
| turned down and some of them had first class
| reasons for wishing TO get home, but we ex-
pect about the first OF next month to be
| allowed to go, perhaps four or five from a
company at time and am sure that the men
will appreciate it.
| The health of the men continues to be fine
as there is very little sickness In the camp,
and am sure that this outing which the First
Maryland boys have had has proved benefi-
| cial to the health OF every man in the regi-
meDt, while it gives them something Of
interest, which they will remember with
fpleasure all the rest of their lives, and | am
. satisfied that not one of US will regret having
. come, even If we are never given a chance -
get 20 the front. THOMAS ". HALL.
