Egotisn and Altruism

1t seems to me that the chief char
acteristic of the single taxer is his love
of liberty.
Meet him where you will, in crowded
city or on the plains he is ever ready
to take up fight on behalf of anoth-
er wherever question of personal
liberty is involved, and this be it
noted is never done in 4ny benevolent
frame of mind, but simply from his in
born sense of justice, for he of all men
knows that should he wink at his
enslavement of another, his own lib
erty is in danger and the law of self
preservation urges him to continual
battle
He is essentially indlvidualistic, will
brook no interference from others be
they ever so benevolently inclined. Is
constantly reminding his fellows that
he is abundantly able to care for him.
self if they will but Civ him chance,
and impertinently telling his supe-
riors (?), the monopolists, that all
he asks is for them to get off his back
and he is willing to forego all their
benevolent altruistic attentions.
1t therefore seems safe to say that
the single taxer is an egoist rather
than an altruist, but his is an. egoism
that will bear examination of the most
critical sort, in fact he courts criti-
cism and revels in being alayzed, so
confident is he Of his position, and in
the last analysis it vii be found that
he is most truly benevolent in the
highest and best sense of that much
abused word.
Bus in the common acceptation of
the altrnistic idea which involves the
sacrifice of ones self for fancied
benefit to others he certainly is not an
altruist for the reason that he has a
most excellent notion l.. regard to his
RIGHTS and the rights of others. This
idea of his is SO clear and concise that
he can not get away from it long
eDoueh to secure. for himself special
privilege. let alone the time to dis
nense in benevolent gratuities the
THINGS so acquired
His whole attitude of thought is es-
sentiallv practical and he is not given
to pipe dreams or to stopping over
when any problem is presented to him,
and because of this some think him
hard hearted. The explanation of this
is that he never mixes his economic
princinles and his personal predilec-
lions into g. confused mass that would
leave him without any sure guide.
Such man Is self-centered, is ego
tistic, has to a large extent mastered
himself. has to further extent mas
tered the problems that confront us in
REGARD to our relation to each other.

The Founding Of Fairhope. Ala.

them.
The business world refused to per-
NIT the foundation of it's structure of
wealth to be replaced by mere theories
untried in tle past and unguaranteed
for the future. 1t must needs deal with
elements upon which it could calculate
by the rules that it had learned from
experience. 1t had too much at stake
to take chances.
This is the root of that conservatism
which, while it binders the world from
progress, more often, perhaps, pre-
serves 1t from disastrous reverses. The
majority of men are not idealists or
inventors. The necessities of existence
compel them to be realists and imita-
tors. Therefore the public is conser-
vative.
Idealism and invention are individ-
ualistic manifestations. Hence it is
that evils led by individual interests
i-e evolutionary in their growth and
steal upon the public insiduously, while
reforms which wait for united action
come generally from revolution when
evils can be no longer borne.
The inventor who would profit by
some new idea in machinery must
needs make at least working model
of it, before he can hope to interest his
fellow men in his invention.
And so reasoned the promoters of
Fairhope. 1t was thought that COM
munity which might adopt the reform
theories which they advocated and be-
come working model of them would
do more to advance them than any
amount of dogmatic teaching or politi-
cal effort.
Accordingly, a company was formed
and site chosen on the eastern
shore Of Noble Bay about midway
between the little villages of Battles
and Montrose. A small tract of land
was secured-i40 acres at first-to
which has since been added about ten
times as much.
The title , this land was vested in
the company which, by reason of its
ownership, could dictate to those who
might live upon it, the terms and con-
ditions of it's use.
No attempt was to be made to evade
or circumvent the laws of the land.
All of the duties which they enioin
were to be fully met but the privileges
which they con er with the ownership
of its lands were to be administered
by thu company in the interest of all
its users

MRS. DONOHUE IS
BURNED TO DEATH

While burning some rubbish in her
back yard, last Thursday morning,
flames caught the clothing of Mrs.
John Donohue and burned every
thread from her body. The poor
woman endured awful agony for
nearly an hour before death relieved
her sulferings. Her feeble husband
was near by at the time but was ut
terly unable to render assistance. His
hands were severely scOrcbed in al
attempt to wrench the burning cloth
ing from his aged wife.
Neighbors rushed into the house on
hearing the awful screams of the fran
tic woman and a physician was at
once summoned. He arrived shortly
after the accident and did everything
possible to alleviate the suffering OF
Mrs Donohue until death put an end
to it all.
The body was badly burned, every
stitch of clothing being consumed by
the flames. Mrs. Donohue was over
60 years of age. Her husband has
been an invalid for some time.

FOR IDENTIFYING ROPE.
Means Used in the British Naval
Service and in This Country
Commercially.

"Eevery rope used in the British naval
service, from heaving line TO hawser
and wherever it may be used, on ship
board or in dockyard," said a cordage
manufacturer, relates the New York
Sun, has woven into one Of it's strands
for purposes Of Identification a red
thread. The presumption is that any
rope with the red thread found outside
Of such uses is in improper hands. This
custom in the British navy has prevailed
sicne the days Of Nelson, or since long
before that for aught know.
"A like means of identifying rope Is
employed in this country to some extent
commercially. Some railroads have
their rope marked in this way, and this
method is sometimes employed for
marking rope used for the transmits
sion Of power in operating machinery
and on lighters, where 1t might be ex-
posed to depreciation.
Ropes have been marked with a sin
gle red thread, or with two red threads,
or with single threads Of some other
color as a distinctive mark Of owner
ship; we have marked ropes with a sin
gle tarred thread We would mark
ropes in any manner which might Be
desired on large orders"

AN ANIMALS cREMAToRY.
Sanitary Method of Disposing of
Carcasses on a Model
Farm.

There was a crematory on the mode
farm-a crematory of red brick. bull
in a secluded valley
Here, said the overseer, we cremate
every animal that dies on the estate a
natural death; every COW. every horse
every pig, every chicken.
Most farmers bury such animals
Then over the dead bodies they plant
their crops Of cereals. What is the re-
suit? The result, sir, is that if an ami
NAL has died % anthrax and you plant
grain over its body the COW that eats
Of that grain is apt to contract anthrax
itself
1t has been demonstrated by expert
ment that the disease germs In a corpse
enter into the vegetation fiourishing in
that corpse's neighborhood. Ithas been
demonstrated that corpses pollute the
soil as horribly as they would pollute
wells if they were thrown into them.
Hence our crematory, where fire
consumes our various victims Of an
thrax. Of hog cholera. Of tuberculosis, of
cowpox. Of glanders, and so on. And
hence the marveiously good health Of
the animals on our farm"

THE REToRT UNEXPECTED.
Rich Wife's Taunt Meets with a
Simple But Cutting Re-

Capt Ingersoll, of the naval war coll

and Capt. Ingersoll smiled-'as the re
tort that the poor man made to his rich
wife.

and behindhand in his payments even

ried him, and soon he was driving four

But he was ungrateful Husbands
like him nearly always are ungrateful.
And on account of his ingratitude there
were a good many quarrels between his
rich wife and himself.
