railroad king with $l,OOO,O0O would
have to pay $4,000 year, while John
d. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie
would be obliged under the law to pay
half OF their income into the state, or
anywhere from $6,OO0,0O0 to $4,000
00O In short the laws OF New Zealand
as now administered are framed for the
poor man as against the rich, The
theory Is that the land must be pre-
served for the small farmer The man
with few acres Is not crushed by the
burden Of taxation, He Is exempt The
temptation for the capitalist Is not TO
buy out the small farmer nor to create
vast holdings, His accumulatIons are
treated as belonging in part to the
state and the state steps In and insists
that he shall pay In proportion to his
possessions. The attention Of the world
Is called to this theory Of legislation,
Every civilization that has heretofore
gone down IN the night Of history has
done so on account of the greed Of Or
ganized wealth. The rich men begin
by crushing out the middle class, by
running the small dealers, by convert
Ing the small farms into great planta-
tions and then reducing the working
man to virtual slavery. One Of the
beneficial results Of the French revolu-
tion was giving the soil back into the
hands Of peasant proprletors. Henry
George proposed to do this peacefully
by the virtual conhscation OF rents.
New Zealand is the first country whero
his Ideas have been put into operation.
Even here they have not been carried
out to the full limit, but Mr.. Carpen-
ters letter indicates that the expert
ment thus far is eminently satIsfac-
tory The Peoria Qll,) Star, OF March

TAXATION AND DEMOCRACY.

Rev, Lyman Abbott, of the New
York Outlook and formerly pastor OF
tthe Plymouth (Henry Ward Beech
er's) church, has been lecturing before
the Brooklyn Institute on Democracy.
In one Of the courses he said that tho
single tax plan could be put into op-
Grafton with less injury to individuals
than has come from the readjustment
Of industry; that every man has O
natural right to the products Of hia
own labor, because he has right to
himself, "but there are other and
larger possessions which are not the
product OF human industry" but
made by the Creator and stored in
the world not for the few, but for
ALL" therefore any right any individ-
ual may have TO these resources is
due to a social arrangement" that
no man claims a right to ownership In
air or ocean, and what Is true Of these
Is especially equally true Of the land,
as men did not make any of these.
When the history of land ownership
Is traced back to its origin, it is proved
that society recognizes It only as an
artificial right, as illustrated in the
division Of land between Abraham and
Lot, and when civilized people
landed on this continent, whereon
half n million Indians occupied land
able to give subsistence to half bill
lion "a dog may not keep an OK
out of the manger when he cannot
keep the hay himself" The expression
Single tax" is "infellcitous" for that
which Is In fact "a plan for the aboll-
tion of all taxation" based on tho
proposition that the air water, land
and the products of the land, coal, oil
and the juices of the earth. God ere.
ated and gave to humanity; they be-
long to the human race"
Coming from such an eminent and
somewhat conservative authority, such
remarks indicate a powerful drift of
thought towards the single tax among
prominent thinkers

THE NEW ZEALAND SYSTEM.

Frank G. Carpenter, special corre-
spondent, was sent to New Zealand to
investigate the land system Of that
country. The idea was to write down
the single tax or the theories Of Hen
ry George as there applied. He went
prejudiced against the whole system,
and with a determination to write 1t
down but when he came to investigate
1t he found that in its workings 1t Is
gradually making New Zealand land
OF small farms. BY the present laws
no man who has more than GAO acres
of land can obtain any Of the public
lands. The land officials will not grant
more than this amount, and they will
not give an applicant more than they
think he can develop and care for. The
government land agents examine all
the applicants, and those who pass
their examinations are allowed to bal
lot for the amount distributed The
government in fact divides the land
more as father among his children
than as land speculator. Everything
is done to encourage small farmers.
The man whose income is less than
81 800 year goes scot free, paying no
taxes. He whose farm Is worth 81, 500
likewise escapes, and If his estate Is
worth $500 he pays taxes on onlv

SUCTION OF A FAST TRAIN.

There is hardly any person, young
or old, who does not like to see u fast
railroad train go by, There Is a fas-
cinatlon in the rush and roar, the en-

Of mans skill that II never falls to
evoke wonder and admiration, Yet
there Is danger in moving train,
and everyone should know enough to
keep at q respectful distance while ad.
miring this marvel, "The theory that
a moving train carries along with II an
envelope of air Is very interesting"
says an engineer 81 first had my at
tention attracted TO the subject by A
curious incident that happened several
years ago at crossing near Blrmlng'
ham, Ala, where trains pass twice
day ut II speed II about forty miles an
hour. The tracks are seven feet apart
and there would seem to be ample
room to stand between them In safety
between two trains. one day terrier
dog belonging to section boss was
asleep in the middle space, and woke
up Just as the trains closed In from
each side. There was a barrel on the
ground near by, and the dog in his
fright jumped on top Of Il, That
probably brought him into one Of tho
rushing envelopes Of air Al any rate
he was whlrlcd of his feet and thrown
clear to the roof of the opposite car
where he was subsequently found
ia@med against n ventilator chimney
with no injury except a broken leg
How in the world he ever made such
a journey and escaped alive Is mys'
terry, unless his fall was deOdened by
a cushion of air Apropos Of atmos-
pherc pressure, II Is a wel-known fact
that there is a vortex space, or '2ono

counts for grotesQuc happening that

A few months ago II. Benest, an
English geographer, published an inter
esting study Of streams OF fresh water
lowing beneath the surface Of the sea,
Disasters to ocean telegraph cables
irst called attention to this subject,
On several occasions, about 1895, a
new and well-made cable between Cape
Verde and Brazil broke. Soundings
were made to discover whether these
breaklngs were due to the state of the
sea bottom, and 1t was found that the
place in question was near the sub
marine mouth OF subterraaean river;
the alluvial material transported by
this fresh water stream encountered
the cable and finally succeeded In
breaking it. The fact is that river
that flows into the lagoons of Yof, on
the coast of Senegal, Is finally lost in
the sand 1t undoubtedly has taken
its invisible course to the sea, and 1t
Is this river that has been discovered
in the deep hollow OF more than 1900
meters (4,270 feet that Is transversed
by the Brazilian cable. Also while the
cable was being repaired at a point "a

erts, the author, has succeeded in max
ing out most enjoyable play, based

dear to American hearts, for it deals
with our Revolution. The scenes of
the play are laid at the place from
which the title of the story is drawn,
at time when the fate of the Ameri-
can colonies trembled in the balance.
Though this play deals most liber-
ally in historic events it is by no
means serious chronicle of these for
there is the delightful perfume of
delicate love story and rich abund-
ance of clean bright comedy permeat-
ing it. Scenery Is carried complete
for the entire four acts and the several
strongly drawn characters are III the
