THE SINGLE TAX,

| Mr.. Charles Francis Adams has
something interesting to say about the
single tax He has written a letter to
the president of the Massachusetts Sim
gle Tax League, in which he unreser-
vedly commends the principle of the
single tax on the moral side, because sit
would reduce taxation to a basis of alb
solute certainty and fairness, rendering
evasion impossible" and suggests the
application of the principle in Massa-
chusetts by system of local option,
the legislature authorizing any town
or city to make a trial of the scheme.
Mr.. Adams does not think that there
need be much difficulty about putting
the new tax into operation in the cities
or large manufacturing towns, and, in
deed, he considers it likely that it
would adjust itself without inflicting
serious injury in the large majority Of
places; but the trouble would come in
purely agricultural communities, and
his impression is that in exceptional
cases the change would amount almost
to a revolution, very closely approach
ing the confiscation Of property. For
this reason he recommends employment
of the local-option plan under which
fair trial could be made in any place
where the people favored the expert
ment.
Mr. Adams local option suggestion is
a practical one, and gives the Massa-
chusetts single takers good basis for
definite work. If they adopt it, get the
desired law, and then get the law ap-
piled in some town or towns perhaps
we in Connecticut can learn something. |

ANOTHER GROHL.

The British lion growled again yes
terday. It's growl was a notification TO
the Transvaalers, the Free Staters and
the world that there will be no deviation
from the South African policy already
outlined. So Mr. Kruger might as well
go home and either die in the last ditch
or get permission from the British lion
to go to work on his farm. If he
doesn't go home soon somebody will be
accusing him of deserving his people in
their extremity and living in ease and
comfort while they are despairingly yet
bravely fighting. Somebody may also
say that as Mr.. Kruger's treasure is in
Europe his heart is where his treasure
is. 1t is evident that he can do his peo-
pie no good by travelling in Europe,
even though the excitable and sympa-
thetic Frenchmen have made much Of
him and his cause.

in the habits of game, who, with a

field of turnips, bordered on one side
by copeswood of oak and hazel. The
inexperienced shooter was on the right
of the line, walking along the edge of
the wood, when his next neighbor saw
him stoop and feel with his hand
among the turnips; then a bird he had
disturbed got up and flew away. The
man who had flushed the game did not
fire, and though the other assayed
shot the bird was 200 far out and es-
capped unhurt. ''Why did you not
fire?" was the natural question. well,

1t is told of a French landowner that,
having incurred a heavy bill of costs
in an action with a neighbor, he invit-
ed his lawyer to his country house, and
sent him out partridge shooting by way
of keeping him in an accommodating
frame of mind. The man of law was
neither an expert shot nor very partc-

fired at; he considered that everything
was game that came within shot At

her name and that she was returning

about her-that she lived on Pacific av-

SIMS REEVES SINGING

Had Sims Reeves died twenty years
ago, his loss to music in this country
would have been proclaimed as irrepar-
able. BY the end of the century. how
ever, he had outlived his fame, and his
death last week called forth little more
than the usual number of lengthy obit
uary notices. Mr.. Sims Reeves, indeed.
belonged to a past generation, and even
his vocal style was more or less obso-
lete. For Mr.. Reeves belonged to a
school which thoroughly believed in the
theory of Nine. Balfe, who, when
CHEEKY Arthur Mathison asked for
something more than the then usual
thirty guineas for the libretto of 1.-THE
Talisman,' laid 1t down as an axiom
that nobody cares for de Words" A

| There is trouble in Massachusetts be-
| cause the Supreme court of the State
says that it is Illegal for hotels to sell
| liquor, even to guests, between the
hours of II p. M and 6 a. m. The de-
cision Of the court hangs upon the use
of a semi-colon instead of a comma
or Intoxicating liquor shall be made be-
tween the hours of II at night and in
the morning; nor during the Lords day,
except that if the licensee is also licens-
ed as an innholder he may supply such
liquor to guests who have resorted to
his house for food or lodging" Had a
comma been used above the Except"
would refer to night selling as well as
to Sunday selling, but the semi-colon
bars the night selling from the benefits
of that exception. AS the full bench of

food about ten minutes past Ii: In the
recent case the repeated re-enactments

most part salutary influence over Eng

defect sometimes cultivated by the Ital-

In a recent address before the Anthro-
Avebury (Sir John Lubbock) said that
the late Professor Huxley once explain
ed his attitude to the Bible thus in a
meeting of the School Board: IT have
been seriously perplexed to know by
what practical measures the religious
feeling, which is the essential basis of
conduct, was to be kept up, in the pres
ent utterly chaotic state of opinion on
these matters, without the use of the
Bible. Take the Bible as a whole,
make the severest deductions which fair
criticism can dictate for shortcomings
and positive errors; eliminate, as sem
sible lay teacher would do if left to
himself, all that is not desirable for
children to occupy themselves with,
and there still remains in this old liter
ature vast residuum of moral beauty
and grandeur. And then consider the
great historical fact that for three CEN
turtles this book has been woven into
the life of all that is best and noblest
in English history. that 1t has become
the national epic of Britain, and is as
familiar to noble and simple, from John
o. Greats House to Lands End, as
Dante and Tasso were once to Italians;
that it is written in the noblest and
purest English, and abounds in exqui-
site beauties of mere literary form;
and, finally, that it forbids the veriest
hind who never left his village to be
ignorant of the existence of other eoun-
tries and other civilizations, and of a
great past, stretching back to the fur
thest limits of the oldest nations in the

OYER A BILLION.

When the silver men felt the worst
about the "crme of '73" they would
tell everybody who would listen to them
that there wouldn't be gold enough in
this country to comfortably maintain
the gold standard. So far their pro-
phecy hasn't been fulfilled and just
now there are no indications that 1t Will
be. The United States treasury has the
largest stock of gold coin and bullion
it has ever had The total amount is
$474, 108, 1866, which is about $76,OO0,OOO
more than the amount on hand at the
close of 1899. OF the amount men
toned, the sum of $3.50 300 is repre-
scented by outstanding certificates; the
remainder, $243, 100000, constitutes the
reserve fund. Besides this gold in the
treasury, the national banks hold about
$197 900, 900 in gold coin, making total
of about $3.50, 100000 in gold in sight in
the United States. 1t is estimated that
gold coin and bullion held by other
financial institutions and by individuals
make the present supply Of gold in this
country something more than one bill
lion dollars Since 1895 the supply of
gold in the United States has nearly
doubled.
A billion or more of gold is very
cheerful sum. The gold standard isn't
in any immediate danger.
