There was no enemy at Georgetown,
but all the same we had lively times there
during halt Of two or three hours.
Gen. Morgan established temporary head
quarters at the best hotel, and the citizens,
most of whom were ''rebel sympathizers, -
treated us royalty. In fact, they treated"
us too literally, a number of officers and
men soon becoming plain drunks," and,
l blush to record the fact, while we were
partaking of the generous hospitality of
the town some of the lower grade" of
soldiers were pillaging it. However, that
class of men, like the poor, we always
have with us-in all armies, in all COM
munities. The streets were full OF ladies,
negros, and Confederate cavalrymen, the
young ladies from neighboring seminary
also coming into town TO view the unusual
Observation-Disclosures soldiers in George
town. Personally, l felt somewhat
ashamed of our appearance, many being
hilariously intoxicated, and all who were
not sbnormslly animated under the flu
ence of Bourbon whiskey were dusty,
tired and sleepy, too."
In the afternoon about 2 o'clock the
bugies sounded boots and saddles" and.
Gen.. Morgan and staff in advance, the
weary column left Georgetown, going to-
wards Frankfort, where Capt. Bart w.
jenkins, with squadron, had previously
gone to drive In the pickets and make
demonstrations.
Probably in no country is there a finer
system Of turnpike roads than in the blue
grass region OF Kentucky. When on his
raids In the State Gen. Morgan adopted
tactics TO mystify the enemy in garrison
in many towns of the State. While NOV

causing thsm to adopt defensive measures
and to refuse TO heed the call for re-
Inducements at the real point of ATTACK.
The excellent roads, running in all direc-
tons, afforded exceptional facilities for
such demonstrations"
Having proceeded FIVE miles in the di.
rection of Frankfort, sort Of reeonnois.
sance in force, Gen. Morgan halted the
column, held brief council of war. re-
| called jenkins from Frankfort, and coun.
termarched to Georgetown. In fact, the

his plans. He had learned that there were
strong forces of the enemy at Frankfort

THE SINGLE TAX.
No. 2

From the single tax we may expect
thes- advantages:
/. 1t would d,sper Sc with whole
army Of tax yathere,s and other OH
Gals which Iiesent taxes require. and
place in the treasury much larger
proportion Of what is taken from the
people. while BY making government
simpler and cheaper. It would tend 10
make it purer. 1t would ct rid OF
taxes which necessarily promote
f.aud. perjury. bribery. and co'rup-
ton, which lead men into temptation
and which tax what the nation can
least afford TO spare-hnnesty and
conscience. Since lard lies out Of
doors and cannot he removed. and it.
value is the most readily asc-rtained
Of all values. the tax 10 which We
would resort can be collected with the
minimum of cost and tn. least strain
on public morals.
2. 1t would enormously increase
the production of wealth-by the re-
moval of the bur ems that now weigh
upon industry and thrift. If we tax
houses there will be fewer and poorer
houses; If we tax machinery, there
will BE- less machinery; it We tax
trade, there will be less trade; if we
tax capital, there will be less capital.
If we tax savings. there will be less
savings All the taxes tn refore that
we should bol,sh are those that re-
press industry and lessen wealth.
Rut il we tax land values there will
be no less land.
On the contrary, the taxation Of
land values has the effect Of making
land more easily available ny indus
try since it makes it more difficult Tor
owners of valuable land which the,
themselves do not care to use to hold
it idle for larger future pr'ce While
the abolition Of taxes on labor and
the products of labor would free the
active element of production, the tax
ing Of land values in taxation would
free the passive element by destroy
ing speculative land values. and pre-
venting the holding out of use of Lane
needed for iuse. If anyone will bul
look around today and see the unused
or but half used land, the idle LABOR
the unemployed or poorly employed
capital he will get some idea OF how
enormous would be the production o
wealth were all the forces Of produc
ton free to engage.
The taxation of the processes an,
products of labor on the one hand
and the insufficient taxation OF lane
values on the other, produce an I'm
just distribution of wealth which i
buiidHg up in the hands of a few
fotu les more monstrous than thu
world has ever be fore seen, while tn
masses OF our people are steadily be
coming relatively poorer. Thes
taxes necessarily fall on the poo
more heavily than on the rich; by in
creasing prices, they necessitate
larger capital IN all business. AM
consequently give an advantage t
large capitals; and they give, and i
some cases are designed to give. spec
ial advantages and monopolies t
combinations and trusts. On tn
other hand. the insufficient taxatio
of land values enables men to max
large fortunes by land speculate
and the increase in ground values
fortunes which do not represent an
addition by them to the gener,
wealth of the community, but merel
the appropriation by some of whe
the labor of others creates.-Henr

MANcHURIAN TREATY.
Russian and Chinese Representatives
 Discussing the Subject.

Pelkin, December 22.-At the first dis cussion of the Manchurian treaty between Paul Lesser, the Russian minister here and the Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Ching and Wang Wen Shao, yesterday, Prince Chang and Wang Wen Shao dis played much less compliance with the Russian policy than had the late Ii Hung Chang. They urged the following sub stantial notifications:
 First, the stipulation of an early date for the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Manchuria, except the railway guard the number of which should be limited.
 restraining China from increasing the number of her troops in Manchuria with out consulting Russia, contending that China must be at liberty to maintain whatever forces was necessary in Man. churia to preserve order there.
 Third, the request that an early date be fixed for returning the new Chwang- Kai-wan railroad and the considerable reduction of the indemnity claimed by the Russians for repairing and main taining the railway.
 Fourth, the Chinese plenipotentiaries opposed giving Russia monopoly of fu- ture mining concessions in Manchuria.
 Prince Ching has received a long tele- gram from Chang Chi Tung, viceroy o1 Hankow, exhorting him to maintain the sovereignty of China in Manohuria.

Later he attacked the question of synthesis and until the publication of his "Chimie OrganiQue fondee sur la Synthese no systematic research had been attempted in the direction of building up compounos of carbon comparable with natural or ganic compounds by the union or ele- ments of which they are composed we Must remember, however, Wohlers syn thesis of urea in 1928 and Robes syn thesis of acetic acid in 1845.
 But the methods subsequently, employ ed by M. Berthelot were more simple and direct. He started, for examp pie, with the clements themselves. He took carbon and hydrogen which produced acety1ene; add ing more hydrogen he got ethylene, and from this he obtained alcohol and a series of organic salts. Again he set himself the task of proving that compounds iden- tical in every respect with the products of animal and vegetable life may be formed from dead mineral matter.
 Thus in series of experiments he em- ployed the carbon obtained in the form of carbon dioxide from barium carbonate. It was then made to pass successively through the forms of carbonic oxide. formic acid, barium formate, ethylene. ethylene bromide, ethylene again and finally into ethyl-sulphuric acid and its crystallized barium salt from which the ultimate object of these experiments alcohol-was generated It follows thai

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT.
Initial Rall Lines Are to Have Super vision Over Agencies.

New York, December 22.-The Journal of Commerce will say tomorrow:
 A new arrangement for handling im- port traffic agreed to some time ago by railroads running to the chief Atlantic ports will be put into effect January l, 1902. General Import Agent Frank A. Harriott and the import committee, who have been engaged in working out the details of the plan have settled upon it's most important features.
 Substantially a new import committee has been formed in which the initial rail lines from the seaboard and their con- meeting ocean lines are represented. MT. Marriott is, however to have general su- pervision over all the import freight agencies and over all import traffic with the view of preventing, so far as pos- sible, demoralization in import freight rates. He will receive reports from all lines running to the principal Atlantic ports from St. Johns to Norfolk inclusive, make a full showing regarding it's im- port carvings and It's arrangem ents with steamship lines or agencies. It Is expect ed the pool will effectually prevent cut ting in ocean and rail rates and tend to regulate the distribution of import busi- ness on an equitable basis

Steamer Discovery Missing.

Port Townsend. Wash, December 22.- The steamer Dolphin, which arrived from the north today brought no tidings of the United States mail steamer Dis covery, of which she had gone in search. The Discovery sailed from Juneau early in November for Dutch Harbor. and was sighted by the steamer Elk on Novem- Der IA at Wood Island. Since that time nothing has been seen or heard of her and shipping men have about given up all hopes for the safety of the steamer and those on board. The Discovery had three or four passengers and a crew of fifteen men.
