GERMAN DELEGATES OPINION.
Europeans In Use of Electricity
as Substitute for Human Labor.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Berlin says: The Tageblatt prints
an interview with Privy Councillor
Loewe, who was the German delegate
at-the Philadelphia trade congress, on
the impressions he gained during his
visit. 3g
Herr Loewe found the economic con-
ditions of the United States most -four
ishing, especially in the marvellous de-
velopment of electrical industry, and
the Americans far ahead of Europeans
in the use of electricity as a substitute
for human labor.
All natural forces, he says, have been
made use of for the production of elec-
trio force, the greatest being the Nj.
agara falls. Electric tramways and
railways are far ahead of those in Eu-
rope.
Herr Loewe is convinced that If Ger
many does not want to be left behind
in competition for the worlds trade
she must make a better use of elec.

SEES wRTFoPs From BALLOON
vowel and Most successful Experi-
ment Of NJ. Jansen, French
Astronomer.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Paris quotes NJ. Camille Flam-
marion as follows: "As | had calcu-
lated, the shower Of shooting stars was
not very abundant. The meteors had
become dispersed along the whole
length of their trajection.
Instead Of the hundreds OF thou
sands observed in 1899 and in 1893, IT
has not been possible to register even
a thousand. Du
THE balloon ascents were very sue
cessful, above the mist. NJ. Jansen,
director of the Meudon observatory,
who conceived this ingenious idea, has
just ;elegraphed me as follows:
'Rikhoff's ascent, made in absolutely
clear sky, reached height of 1000
meters. One hundred Leonids, 20 OF
which were of the first magnitude, were
observed from the balloon.
at was an excellent voyage, and
there was an easy descent near the
village Of Plessis Sainte 0pportune, de-
partment of the Eure.-Janssen.'
This was splendid astronomical
innovation"

The Single Tax.

(FNor the Leader, by Rev. ]. NJ. POlen.)
The Single Tax is the name of the
system OF taxation proposed by Henry
George
The proposition is simply TO increase
the tax we now levy upon the value OF
land until it absorbs the entire renta al
value.
AS this itax would be sufficient for all
public expenses, all other taxes would
be abolished
Under this system, therefore, no one
would hold more land than he could
use.
Holding land out of use would be un-
profitable.
AS the principal part OF land values
are represented in locations in great
trade centers, and the franchises of the
railroad, telegraph, telephone. gas and
water companies. the principal portion
of the Single Tax would fall upon the
owners of such locations and fran
chises.
The farmers and worklngmen would
pay less taxes than they now pay for
the reason that they CWn the smaller
portion of land values.
By removing the tax upon the pro-
ducts of labor it would encourage in
dustry.
In tho TTnitod Stares fiva-siyth.s of
all productive Land is held out CT use
for speculative purposes.
By productive land we mean farm
ing, mineral and timber land and city
lots
Land cannot be increased in guam
tity.
Population is increasing and compe-
tItlon for the use of land increases and
as a consequence rent or land values
go up; wages and interest go down.

Southern Change of Opinion,

Senators TilFman and McLaurln of
South Carolina, Caffery of Louisiana,
and Daniel, of Virginia, have modified
their views on the Philippine ques-
tion. They now oppose the abandon
ment of the islands, and all seem to
think we must restore peace by con-
quering Aguinaldo's army, and then
set up a respectable government.
What then may be Thought best can
well be left TO be decided when we
must decide it. There is a general
change of views on this subject, OBJ
seryable over the south, as compared
with these held in this section a few
months ago.-Chattanooga Times.

marshy state of the ground, and good
drinking water is not to be had.
'There is gold there, gold in the
creeks, gold in the sand along the
beach, but how extensive the area of
either of these fields is not known at
present.
"Cape Nome is in the Behring sea, one
hundred and twenty miles north of ST
Michaels. The camp is in the elbow
of wide turn in the coast line. The
shipping can not get close in to shore,
and lighters move cargoes. When 1
arrived there the population of the
town was between 5000 and 1000. The
town Is right on the beach. Nearly
every man there was working every
hour he could in the sand in the beach,
for that is where most of the
deep red tint, dull ruby color. The
gold in it is very fine and is very diff
ficult to secure, much of it being lost,
or, rather not caught at the first eff
fort, making it necessary to work over
the sand several times. Many of the
miners are working with pans
only, but others, especially those
work claims, use rockers with
necessary to use quicksilver to secure
the gold. The most successful met cd
adopted SO far is that of using a silver
ed copper plate at the bottom of the
rockers. AS to returns for the work
done, they vary according to the loca-
ton of the claims and the manner in
which they are worked. For miles the
beach has been torn up, and how many
miles of collaborating sand there are no
one knows.
'.As might be expected all commo-
dities are high. A lot with q 12x14
shanty on it, Is worth $500 to $4,000
according to location. On the main
street buildings brought $780,"
Mr.. Terrell displayed some magnii-
cent nuggets. and Gays that after q Wis
it to his home in Memphis he will start
back for Nome city in the spring.
