SPARROW COMMITS SUICIDE.
Itz Own Death by Ex-
hauxtton.

Two English sparrows were found
dead side by side in field, near Smith
Pond, Cherry Valley, Mass. by party
of gunners. One of the birds had been
dead for some time, but the other ex-
pired while the hunters were within
eyesight. and the men say il was : case
of suicide, reports the New York Svn.
The attention of the men was first al
tracted by the distressing cries of he
second bird which was on The shore of
the pond The men drew nearer and
watched. The sparrow was seen TO put
its head under water and allow il 10
remain there for time. II repeated
this ducking several times al short in
tervals.

manned under water longer than before

hunters said IL was a clear case Of sui

LAND AND WORK.

For colossal impudence it would
seem hard to surpass the claim of John
d. Rockefeller, that he has given to
men work of the value Of S6O0,O 900
and given 1t, too, in a spirit Of
benevolence. What Rockefeller has
really done has been to seize the
source of employment--the earth, and
then to permit men to labor on it and
produce wealth Of which he kept the
largest share. The work" would have
been there in the oil regions had
Rockefeller never been born. Indeed,
there would have been more work for
he has been monopoizer, fore
staller, reducer Of consumption, and
by his interferences with trade has
obstructed the natural growth of the
oil industry.
Yet Rockefellers claim Is only a
personal arrogation Of the impersonal
claim so often made that the rich give
employment to the poor; statement
which has just this much Of truth in It.

It is proposed now to utilize the
power of the Colorado river which
ters its way through the Grand canon
with force enough to move the machln-
ery of a thousand mills. For many
months hydraulic engineers have been
studying the project, and they have
lust made report. They declare that
in $50 miles Of the rivers course a
dozen times more electrical energy
can be secured than is taken from Nj
aeara Falls. Part of the canon is IN
the forest reserve, and 1t also passes
through several Indian reservations

There Is a feeling that seems to be
more widely prevalent just now than
In past years that certainly ought not
to be encouraged, and that ls the one
that leads men to think that they
ought to make material sacrifices for
the sake Of their convictions, and that
II Is foolish for them to expect Others
to do so. OF course, 1t Ia to be remem-
bered that martyrdom never has been
popular. And with this thought In
mind one will not Judge too harshly
the tendency Of the men Of our own
day to shrink from 1t. That is wholly
natural, and 80 is always to be an
ticipated. But the weakness of the
men Of our own time is that they too
frequently act and talk as though
nothing else than the complete aban-
donment Of principle were to be looked
for when money Is at stake. The
thing appears to be taken as matter
of course, and, II commented on at all,
1t is spoken Of with a cynical frank
ness which indicates that the speaker
himself has lost all grip on the great
vcritles Of life, Men. say that they
cannot afford" to be independent In
politics, When they are quite sure
that their confidence will be respect
ed, they will talk Of political lnde-
pendence In the most admiring strain,
and will even admit that the safety Of
our political institutions depends on
those men who refuse to be the slave
of party, Yet, admitting the duty of
independence, they apologize for
others-if not for themseves--wh
fail to discharge 1t, on the ground that
1t takes too much courage, or because
they can not afford" to do 80, This
Is but one illustration Of the weakness
referred to, There seems to be a low
ering of the standard all round, and
a disposition to measure every sacri-
fee in money. II Is known that there
are even some Christian ministers
who, though they are pledged to an
absolute truthfulness to their own
convictions. do not dare to tell the
truth exactly as they hold 1t, In bust

STILL VNRE-
CONSTRUCTED

At least two Of the residents Of the
"old dominion" are still unreconstruct-
ed. They are women and are rs de-
voted to the lost cause today as they
were in the early COS, They live in a
big, old-fashioned southern mansion
in Southampton county, Virginia,
They are sisters, the elder, Miss Ju-
dlth Thomas, being 90 years old, and
the younger, Miss Annie, ten years
her junior. They are the closest sur
vlving blood relatives of Gen, George
II. Thomas, the "Rock Of Chickamau-
ga" but ever since Thomas cast in
his lot with the Union In 1861 they
have declared that I'VE have no broth
er. To them he died the day after
Virginia seeded" The two stately
old Virginia ladies are still unrecon-
structed. From the moment when
their famous brother refused to so into
the Confederate army they have re.
fused to allow his name to be spoken
in their presence, and although Gen.
Thomas lived for five years after the
close Of the war they never communi-
Gated with him nor consented to re-
ceive a communication from him. They
are living still on the memories Of the
days before the war. The old Thomas
plantation is still in their possession,
and the rentals paid by the tenants
who work 1t enable them to live in
comfort, Only few months ago they
deposited among the treasures of q
historical society in Richmond, Va,
the magnificent sword which was pre-
sented to their brother by the county
Of Southampton after he had returned
from his splendid service In the Mex
lean war. People who go to call on
the Misses Thomas come away from
the old manor-house full of admira-
ton for the sweet and stately courtesy
of the ladies, but saddened by the
pathos Of their lives. Not even after
the war had closed would those stern
old women, living all alone IN the
great house which was his Dirthplace
as well as their own, recognize or re-
ceive a communication from their IA

gratuity."
The employment has been furnished
by nature; the land and the man are
the two factors needed to produce
wealth, Yet when the land Ia monopo-
llzed Its owners can demand as the
price of the chance for employment
all the laborer can make above bare
living And 30 by confusion Of
thought they are accredited with fur
nishlng the employment itself, Were
rivers subject entirely to private own
ership we would be told that the
waterlords provided the water which
Ia essential to life.
While monopoly is as wrong when
enjoyed by thousand as when en-
joyed by one man, the mass OF man
kind seen unable to realize Its in
justice until the profits concentrate In
few hands, Large estates arouse the
greatest popular antagonlsm to land
lordlsm, and the rapid growth of a few
monopolles like the Standard Oil is
arouslng antagonlsm to the private
ownership of such natural resources as
oil, coal, and iron. That these are
the common property Of the race Is
coming to be recognized more clearly
every day, and the rightfulness Of per-
mitting them to be owned by indivl-
duals is being questioned even by those
usually classed as conservative think
ers. But this fundamental and all
embracing truth needs to be pro-
clalmed-that all land Is natural re-
source which cannot justly be owned,
The earth is the only source Of en-
ployment, and when II Is subject to
private ownership "the chance to
work and live comes only as a
gratulty" to the landless, To har-
moni2e the equal rights Of all men to
the earth (Which means to any portion
Of it) with the individual possession
necessary to secure to each the re-
suits Of his toll Is the purpose Of the
single tax, which would destroy mono
poly Of land and natural resources and
yet leave the individual free to en-
ploy his labor as he chose and to en-
JOY the fruits thereof.
