It right. The Chronicle does not dis
pute the justice of taxing the " unearned

the cost of time and labor in making the

. should alike be taxed. The community,
though in different ways, created the in
crease of values and the community is
' as much owner of the increase of wheat
or pork as it is of land. To say that a
' stockman should not be taxed " because
he is engaged in the meritorious business
of raising food for society" is sophistry.
The farmer is engaged in the same bus
iness. Why therefore, should he be
taxed and the stockman go free? It is a
.poor rule that won't work both ways.
. But it is idle to discuss the single-tax
' theory any farther. TheCHRONicxK has
two insuperable objections to it. It be
lieves "in a system of taxation that shall
be equal and uniform, a system that will

The lease binds the lessee or his heirs to
pay for and in lieu of "Herriot" the sum
of twenty shillings on the death of John
McArthur and "every Chief-Tenant dy
of the said demised
premises." it also Dinas tne lessee uj
pay an annual rent oi ioriy anuiings
sterling for "every acre that shall be
plowed or sown with corn or grain of any
kind, within one year within the three
last years before the expiration of said
term, over and above one-three of the

binds the lessee "to render suit and ser

every Under-Tenant Two-pence sterling
in the Name of Head-Money or Leet-Sil-

binds the renter to "grind all such Malt,

ever accomplish this. Bnt there is an
" other objection still greater. The single
tax theory is simply the entering wedge
of socialism which is the practical con
fiscation of all property rights and which
, in turn is but the prelude of anarchy.
This is by .no, means saying that all
single-tax theorists are communists. We
; simply assert that their doctrine leads in
'that direction. To say that the value
the community has given to land belongs,
" not to the private owner, but to the com
m unity is socialism pure and simple,
and nothing else. If it belongs to the
community there is an end to private
owner-ship. The next step is confisca

national death.

And the renter further binds himself and
his under-tenants each to build twenty
perches annually of new fence "of a good
single Earth Ditch, in straight lines,
with a Grip or Trench on one Side, Bix
feet wide at the Top, two feet wide at
the Bottom and five feet deep below the
Surface," or in lieu of such to build "a
good Stone wall or Ditch in straight
lines four feet high in the Stone-Work,
two feet thick at the Bottom and one
foot thick at the top, capped with Sods,
half a foot high above 'the Stones.
Trees were to be planted, so many feet
apart along the sod fences and in default
a fine of two-pence for every tree not so
planted was imposed. All of which goes
to show that these old earls knew toler
ably well how to take care of themselves
and that human greed is at least as old
as the eighteenth century.
BY KATHBRINE LSI BATES.
I have closed my book and hidden my slate.
And thrown my satchel across the irate,
My school Is out for a season of rest.
And now for the school room 1 love the best.
My school lies on the meadows wide.
Where under the clover the sunbeams hide;
Where the long vines cling to the mossy bars.
And the daisies twinkle like fallen stars;
Where clusters of buttercup gild the scene.
Like showers of gold-dust thrown over the green,
And the wind's flying footsteps are traced as they
pass,
By the dance of the sorrel and dip of the grass.
My lessons are written (n clouds and trees,
And no one whispers, except the breeze,
That sometimes blows, from a secret place,
A stray, sweet blossom against my face.
My school-bell rings ln the rippling stream
Which bides itself like a school-boy's dream.
Under a shadow and ont of sight,
But laughing still for its own delight.
My schoolmates there are the birds and bees,
And the saucy squirrel, less wise than these.
For he only learns, in all the weeks,
How many chestnuts will fill his cheeks.
My teacher Is patient, and never yet
A lesson of hers did I once forget;
For wonderful love do her lips impart.
And all her lessons are learned by heart.
O come! O come! or we shall be late,
And autumn will fasten the golden gate.
Of all the school rooms, ln east or west,
The school of nature I love the best.

The lands, the natural I dation of her three cities it would be per
fectly natural for her to go a step further
in the path towards commercial
supremacy and demand an open river.
The importance of such a step has been
demonstrated in a hundred ways. Port
land is no longer a provincial town but a
great and flourishing commercial me
tropolis. In the past she has allowed
the cities of the Sound to outstrip her
both in enterprise and population. The
revelation of the census was the goad
that waked her to the consciousness that
she had been asleep, and this revelation
was a blessing in disguise. But she
must keep awake. There are no more
towns of any importance to - be annexed
to supply a census deficiency. Her
future growth must come from natural
causes, through the enterprise and
energy of her citizens. It cannot any
longer be brought about by an act of the
legislature on a vote of the people. The
one thing that more than anything else
will conduce to the continued increase of
population, wealth and commercial
supremacy is an open river. A portage
road at the Cascades, valuable as we
hope it may prove, is but a temporary
expedient. Portland ought to unite
with us in demanding that the govern
ment works shall be finished by contract.

The Union Pacific is at its old game.
Negotiations had been in progress for
some time looking to the hiring of a
steamer to connect with the new boat.
It appears the U. P. got wind of it, as
we announced yesterday, and promptly
purchased the boat and tied her up.
This was to be expected. Any body who
imagines Jay Gould is asleep will get
badly fooled. The company will un
doubtedly fight the opposition to the
bitter end, but a boat will be secured in
the long run even if one has to be built
for the purpose, and when the portage is
finished and the line opened to Portland
the man from The Dalles who patronizes
the Union Pacific ought to be ridden on
a rail.

The election in Portland last Monday
is a lesson for all of as. It shows what
the people, can accomplish when they
only try. The triumph over political
bossism and corruption was complete.
When the best citizens turned out and
fought for consolidation from morning
till night they got it and they got it
triumphantly. Such a spectacle de
moralized the bosses.' Their ammuni

kind of game. The effects were con

earnest and extended consideration to
this modern disease, which has so rapidly
come to be one of New England's three
great scourges the other two being con
sumption and pneumonia. We present
in "brief, some of the more important
facts elicited Dy the discussion.
1. Contrary to previous belief, there
seems to be no special relation between
its prevalence and bad drainage or other
unsanitary conditions. The best dis
tricts in Boston have suffered as much as
the worst ; in some cases even more so,
It is the same elsewhere, as careful in
vestigations attest.
2. Its prevalence must at present be
regarded as due to direct - personal con
tagion. It is greatest in the school
months, with a marked falling off in
July and August Patients are often al
lowed to go about rreeiy during conva
lescence, while not yet fully free from
the disease.
Doctor Folsom says, "It is not uncom
mon for me to see patients in the out-
department, who come with diptheria.
sitting side by side with patients affected
with other diseases, thus exposing
many persons to the danger of infection
during the time they remain in the
waiting-room ot the hospital.
Some of these persons have ridden to
the hospital in crowded cars.
Hut mud cases are the chief source of
the trouble. Doctor Prince says, "It is
my constant experience to meet with
case after case of undoubted diphtheria,
where there are patches of membrane in
the throat, and yet the symptoms are so
mild that the child is allowed to mingle
with the rest of the family and go about
the streets. I think there is no ques
tion that such cases are the most proiific
sources of the contagion."
Further, among the cases that often
fail to be recognized are those of nasal
diphtheria. The membrane is out of
sight, and for a time, at least, the dis
ease is easily mistaken for a cold. It
should be remembered that this, and all
the lighter forms of diphtheria, mav
give rise to the most malignant.
3. A case ot malignant diphtheria is,
not seldom, mistaken for one of mem
branous croup, commonly regarded as
non-contagious. It is, therefore, neither
reported nor duly guarded against,
4. It -is necessary that diphtheria
should be taken charge of as a contagious
disease by the board of health, with full
powers and all adequate provisions, and,
further, that measures should be taken
for the better understanding of the dis
ease by the people.
5. Diphtheria is a most debilitating
disease. One ol its chief dangers is
death by heart-failure, and that, too,
when the patient seeme to be in a state
of convalescence. From the first every
thing should be done to keep up the
strength by food and stimulants.
Causes ef Crime.
The Arena.
No one who studies the problems
of
poverty and crime can fail to be imoress
ed with the power of the saloon as a fac
tor in the degradation otthe human race.
Kuui makes criminals of the poor. In
tne city oi new xork aione there are
nearly 8,000 saloons.
Below 14th street there are 111 Pro
testant churches ' and 4000 saloons.
These whiskey shops control the politics
of the empire city, fill the criminal courts,
and make the lives of tens of thousands
miserable.
Mr. Justice Jatzueraid savs that in
Ireland intemperance is the cause of
nineteent-wentietbs of the crime.
Grant's Famous Words.
Ulysses S. Grant, the greatest soldier
of the war of the rebellion, was born on
the 27th day of this month, 1822. Tem
perance people have adopted his famous
dispatch : "l propose to tight it out on
this line if it takes all summer." Yes,
and many summers.
A drunken young man broke into the
White House. This brings this terrible
curse home to the chief magistrate of our
country. The telegram says that Pres
ident Harrison helped to tie his hands
so that he could be removed without do
ing further damage. Did the president
ask himself if he had done all he could
to drive the saloons out of the district of
Columbia?
The president and his appointees, the
district commissioners, can do a great
deal more than is done to put down this
internal evil. Advance.
The saloon is one of the feeders of the
immorality that flourishes under cover.
and which, more than any other one
thing, is undermining society and enerv
ating manhood and womanhood today.
The facts are known. It is useless to
make laws against it unless the people
are aroused. When all can see and feel
that a saloon is a worse evil to a commu
nity than a shanty filled with lepers.
then will they arise and cleanse the
country of its greatest misery breeder,
which carries a thrill of misery, a throb
of degaadation, wherever it falls.
The King of Samoa is determined that
his subjects shall be sober. The follow

TrnrcT6rxrii bvandal Cih on Trial.
- A Bright Juror Puts the Gambler
Prince in Bad Light.
London, June 2. The second, day of
the Baccarat trial began this morning
with a repetition of the scenes of yester
day. The Prince of Wales was called to the
witness box. In substance, the prince
said: "I have known the plaintiff for
twenty years and have been, his friend
for the past ten years. He visited my
house several times. Our intimacy con
tinued unimpaired until last September.
I observed nothing suspicious In the
play of the plaintiff's house in Tandy
Croft."
During the cross examination of the
prince, a juryman caused a sensation
by rising in his place and asking in a
loud voice "Are the jury to understand
you were banking on these two occa
sions, and knew nothing of the alleged
malpractices?"
The prince hesitated for a moment
as if undecided as to whether he ought
or ought not reply. Finally he said with
half a smile, "It is very easy for a
banker when dealing cards not to see
anything, especially . when in company
with friends in a country house. You
do not for a moment suppose that any
one will play unfairly."
ine juror asked, "What was your
opinion at the time the charges were
made against the plaintiff?"
To this the prince savagely replied
"The charges made against him were so
unanimous that . 1 had not any other
course left open to me then to believe
them."
The prince's last answer caused
another flutter of excitement followed
by much whispered comment.
When the murmurs of astonishment
which greeted the juror's questions and
the prince's answers had subsided, Sir
Edward Clark, seeing he must do every
thing possible to regain the ground which
seemed to have been lost by the plaintiff
in the estimation of the jury, said, ad
dressing the prince of Wales : "I take it
your highness' answer to the first ques
tion put to you by the juror was substan
tially that you had not seen any mal
practice during the game of Baccarat
played at Tanby Croft last September."
The prince assented to this and his
examination was concluded.
He gave his evidence in a halting, hes
itating manner, and he seemed to be very
glad and exceedingly relieved when his
examination was over.
