SINGLE TAX MEN NOT WORRIED. A prominent single tax man, when asked by Tux Stan representative thie morning what he thought of the treatment his chief was receiv- ing af the hands of the opposition, replied: “To the truth, Ihave not thought much about | it, perhaps not any more than Mr. Ralston him- | self, and as long as he don't ‘kick’ we won't worry over it, rou may be sure. But there is one thing I will say, that however harsh And intemperate the remarks may be that are in- dulged in by some who don’t know hity quite as well as we do, the candid end thoughtful of | the opposition have far too much respect for Previation of the many important services he rendered Hyattaviile during his nine or ten Years of residence in it, to assail him in an un- Gentlemanly manner, however much they may differ with him as to measures of public policy.” It has been stated by some of the papers that is the first instance on record in which Henry George's theories have been considered by any court, but this isa mistake, for in 1887 George Hutchins, a citizen of the state of New Jersey, died, leaving a will devisiny erty for the circulation of ge's doctrines being regarded as revolu- tionary. Vice Chancellor Bird sustained this contention, but on appeal to the court of errors and appeals of New Jersey that court unani- mously sustained the will. NOTES. ‘Messrs, Edmund P.

She stated that the accused was the only per- son anywhere near her; that he was resting his arm on the show case clove to her fan and | pocket book, and she swore most positively that the accused had taken her pocket ‘and oon- tents, which were four notes— of the denomination of two dollars, one of the denom- ination of one dollar, one piece of United States | gold coin of the denomination of one dollar, | and several pieces of silver coin of smaller de- | nominations, dimes and quarters, all of the currency of the United States, I asked him hie name, and he refused to give it; but after- ward he asked for a piece of paper and pencil, | which I furnished him, and he wrote the name hereto attached.

The justice failed to take the prosecuting wit- ness’ streot and number, because, as he dis missed the case, he had no further use for the witness. He said he considered it «simple cao merely, and had no idea there was anything it. ——___-2-+__—_. THE McGARRAHAN VETO. Why the President Did Not Approve the aL, The President in his message accompanying the veto of the McGarrahan bill says: “It is quite possible that he has been wronged and that he has a claim for some reparation |from the government. I cannot, however, think that this bill proceeds ona just basis.” | The President then refers briefly to the pro- | visions of the act and says if the claim is es tablished it is provided in substance that all lands, part of said grant, which have been con- veyed by the government or are in the occu- Pancy of actual settlers, or ‘upon which there areany smelting or reducing works, or the lands claimed in connection with such reduc- tion or smelting works” shall be excepted from the patent which the Secretary of the Interior is directed to issue to McGarrahan. By this provision the title of the New Idris Mining Company, which has long contested with Mc- Garrahan the title to a large part of this prop- erty, is established and that company is relieved | from any responsibility to acqount for the | Profits made in mining. | On the other hand the United States waives all benefit of judicial pro- | ceedings which have resulted in its favor and | gives Mr. McGarrahan an opportunity de novo | to try all such questions, and the decision, if in | or, is not only to restore to him all the | t' undispored of, but the United States to pay him the value of the lands ap- propriated by others and for their use for all | these years, and to account to him for all profits that bave been made by the New Idria Mining Company or any one else in quicksilver or other | mining. The President says: “This seems to be wholly inadmissible. The amount involved must be enormously large, though at present incapable of any accurate extimate. If the title of the New Idris Company has béen established by final decrees of court, placing that title beyond question and that | company beyond any call to respond for use | and protits, why should the government of the | United States, waiving in its behalf these decrees which would protect it, also assume a responsibility to account for the value of the lands and for their use and fot the net value of minerals extracted by that company or others? It will be noticed in the quotation I have made from the act that this company is allowed to take all the land it may claim, but at the expense of the United States, not of Mr. McGarrahan, “The bill is so framed as to give full pro- tection to the New Idria Mining Company to the full extent of its largest claim, while throwin upon the United States « responsibility which that company should bear if the title of Mr. McGarrahan is established.” REPRESENTATIVE WATSON’S CHARGES A Meeting of the Investigating Committee Held Last Night. ‘The comuittee appointed to investigate the general churge of drunkenness made by Mr. Watson against the House met last evening. Mr. Watson was present, but stated that he had not had time to procure his witnesses and he would prefer that the inquiry should go over until today. He understood that the in- vestigation, though nominally directed at the House, was intended for him. He did not fear land, Rockville and other clubs, the following being the summary of the score in the six events: West, 48 straight birds and « score of 82 out of 90; Holmead, 48 out of 60; Veirs, 68 out of 90; Hurley, 44 out of 60; Peter, 89 out of 60; Rabbitt, 15 out of 22.

A meeting of this committee has been called for Thursday, August 4, at 11 o'clock. The delay in the appointment of the advisory committee is understood to be due to a differ- ence of opinion as to whether or not Senator Gorman shall be a member of it.

GOV. SHEPHERD'S COMING. In 1879 Gov. A. RB. Shepherd came from | Washington and took charge of = group of | mines.

The two greatest works are the aqueduct and main funnel. The uct is two and one-half miles long, bringing the water of the river along the mountain side to the tunnel’s mouth.

Effect of the Present Tariff Law Upon Agri- culture, According to Mr. Hatch. Representative Hatch, from the committee on agriculture, hes submititd to the House a report prepared by the committee on the effect of the present tariff law upon agriculture. The report says that careful comparison shows that there has been a steady decline in the prices of farm property and products under the several tariffs in force since the war, while for a cor- responding period and under the same laws other interests have been more prosperous and remunerative. The report insists that under the low tariff of 1846 agriculture enjoyed its Greatest prosperity, and holds that the more restrictive and prohibitive the trade with other countries has the worse has agriculture fared.

The report presenta statistics abot the decrease in the values of farm lands. ‘Two Candidates in the Field.
