FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 17, 1895.
Campaign of the .Single Tax.
The attention of the single taxers of
America, if not of the whole world, is
now centered upon the state of Dela
ware, where, as has heretofore been
stated by the TRIBUNE, a movement is
under way to capture control of the
next legislature. For years the believ
ers in Ilonry George's theories were lir
ing off their guns aimlessly, having no
particular target, until the leaders fi
nally realized that the conversion of a
nation to the doctrine of taxing land
values alone is too large an undertaking
to be successfully accomplished without
having some state, county or town to
hold up as an object lesson for the
doubtful. A few years ago they suc
ceeded in getting control of the town of
Hyattsviile, Maryland, but before tin;
new tax system had been given a fair
chance to prove what is claimed for it
in theory, it was declared unconstitu
tional, inasmuch as it conflicted with
the state constitution in some small de
gree.
Its success, the short time it was in
operation, gave single taxers courage
to try again—next time in some state
where a more liberal constitution exists.
A careful examination of the constitu
tions of the various commonwealths
made. In many the framers, doubtless,
had not thought that the time would
ever come when an effort would be made
to impose but one tax, consequently
some queer paragraphs relative to per
sonal and property taxes found their
way into several of the state constitu
tions.
In Delaware it was found there would
be less probability of having it declared
illegal than in any other state. Dela
ware, then, was chosen. At the recent
session of the legislature a single tax
bill failed of passage by a very narrow
margin. This was because the nature
of the proposed law was not fully under
stood by either the legislature or the
people at large, and they were frighten
ed by the claims of its opponents, who
predicted confiscation of land, propcrt
and homes and otherwise misrepresent
od an act which would merely give tin
state power to concentrate its tax lev\
upon the value of the land within its
borders.
The closeness of the vote on the bill
and the friendly feeling shown for it en
couraged the Delaware single taxers,
and upon the adjournment of the legis
lature steps were taken to obtain con
trol of the next house and senate, the
election for which taxes place in 1806.
The number of voters in the state is
something in the neighborhood of 40,000.
considerably less than there are in this
county, and to convince a majority of
those citizens that the single tax system is
right and just a movement was inaugu
rated last June. From its inception it
has met with unbounded success, and
the crusade has been carried on with
such diligence that its projectors would
not fear a test of the issue now. feeling
confident that two-thirds of each branch
of the legislature could bo carried.
The Delaware campaign, however,
has been but started. It is more than a
year until the vote will be taken, and
the national committee, in whose hands
the movement has been placed, intends
to put this time to use. Though the
little state has already been shaken
from centre to circumference by single
tax orators, the committee proposes to
continue the work with increasing vigor
until November, 1896, and, if the object
in view is attained, the country will have
an opportunity, in a few years, to
witness the single tax in operation.
£0 much interest has been aroused in
the matter that contributions to push
the campaign have been received from
every quarter of the globe, and, to judge
from the editorial expressions that
appear in the Delaware newspapers, the
money received is going direct for the
purpose it is given. At present the
state is invaded by a small army of
orators, who speak no less than once a
week in ever town or hamlet, and the
number of converts, real and ostensible,
that are reported by the public press is
very encouraging. Nightly meetings
are held in the cities, where the system
of taxation is debated and explained.
The first speech by any of the "big
guns" of the movement was made in
Wilmington last week by_ Congressman
Maguire, of California. Ex-Congress
men Johnson and Warner, Louis F.
Post, Dr. McGlynn. Henry George and
others prominent in single tax circles
are booked to spcak in the state later in
the campaign.
Taking it all in all, the assault made j
upon Delaware lias astonished both the
natives and the public in general, espe
cially the professional politicians. The
latter cannot understand why money
will bo contributed and orators' ex- j
penses will be paid by people who have
110 apparent interest in the laws of Del
aware. and that not a single contributor
or lecturer is asking for an office. The
campaign is so novel, when contrasted
with the selfish methods of ordinary
politics, that it excited interest imme
diately.
This work of the single taxers to ob
tain a practical illustration of their
theories is one of the greatest efforts
nit fortli by any class of political econo
mists, and the result in our neighbor
ing state will, to a great extent, be the
turning point in the history of the
movement. If the workers fail to carry
the legislature, thefe will be much dis
appointment and the single tax will re
ceive a setback that will hamper it for
a time; if they succeed and are given a
fair field, it will be but a question of a
few years until every state in the union
will collect all its revenue by a tax laid
upon the value of land.
Single taxers in this vicinity, and
there are many here, can receive what
ever information they desire about the
Delaware campaign by addressing liar

Philadelphia, Pa., or Single Tax Courier,

A Winning Ticket Thin Year.
From the Wilkesbnrrc Leader.
The Democracy of Luzerne never had
a better assurance of victory that is ap
parent this year. And there are good
reasons for this hopeful condition of
things. Aside from the betterment of
the times, due entirely to Democratic
influences, and which naturally fill the
hearts of the masses with gratitude to a
party which has so handsomely fulfilled
ts promises and will bring a grand sup
port to its candidates everywhere this
year, the ticket put in the field by the
Luzerne Democrats is made up of candi
dates who are essentially magnetic and
attractive. They arc of the people,
with unimpeachable records behind
them and competent to fill the positions
for which they have been nominated.
William S. McLean, the head of the
ticket, is known throughout the county.
A working attorney all his life, conspic
uous for his legal acumen and breadth
of culture, he will, if chosen to the place
ho seeks, grace the bench and add to
the learning and dignity which already
distinguish the Luzerne county bench,
lie is the unanimous choice of an honest
convention. He did not seek favor at
the hands of the delegates. They
reached out for a candidate who had
winning qualities and who, besides that,
was endowed with the energies, elo
quence and experience demanded of a
judge. These they found embodied in
William Swan McLean and they unani
mously selected him.
No mistake was made when A. Lee
Stanton was nominated for sheriff. He
was thoroughly equipped in all that per
tains to mental endowments, and his
official career has supplied him with all
that experience which is so valuable to
the man who occupies so high a place as
that of sheriff. Mr. Stanton is a man
i quiet ways, but attractive. He is
bold and courageous and is not dismay
ed over little things. Ho believes in
hard work and is Irrevocably devoted to
the principles of sound Democracy. Mr.
Stanton is a winner and will prove it
next month.
For recorder, James J. Maloy presents
claims that are conspicuously attractive.
Maimed and crippled by accident while
toiling at his dangerous occupation as a
miner, lie is popular with his working
associates and all who know him. The
fourth district will rally to him with a
strength that will surprise. He is the
only candidate 011 either ticket from
that part of the county south of Nantl
coke. He will poll a heavy vote and
will deserve it.
The nominee for coroner, John E.
Perkins, is too old and sound a Demo
crat to need any introduction. A man
who went to the front in the dark days
of the civil war to defend the flag, he
made a splendid record as a soldier, and
has added to it as a citizen. His ability
to fill the duties of the office are un
deniable, liis experience as deputy
coroner nc fuainted him fully with the
demands. 111 supporting him the old
soldiers of the county will be serving a
faithful comrade, a man fairly entitled
to universal favor.
J. K. P. Fennor, the Democratic can
didate for controller, is another popular
man. lie is well and widely known and
His splendid business ability makes it
certain that lie will fill the exacting
place with conspicuous credit. Mr.
Fcnner is a devoted Democrat and is a
worker of instructive force.
The nominee for surveyor, 11. E.
Myers, is a young man who Hulls from
Pittston and has a host of friends. He
is at present city engineer of Pittston
and hence has that experience which is
necessary. He did not seek the nomina
tion. but the convention sought him.
The fact is tin: Democratic ticket is a
superb one, made up of attractive can
didates, strong in themselves, strong in
their friendships and strong in their
devotion to party principles. Not one
of them bought His nomination. There
were no unfair bargains, like those which
Bennett and Martin are accused by their
own party papers of having made, in
and out of the convention that named
them. Each Democratic candidate was
the choice of the delegates. The people
know this and will show on the' fifth day
of next month their full appreciation of
the ticket named by the Democracy,"by
electing it with a rousing majority.

Pittsfield, Mass., Oct. 14.—Frank L.
Pope, aged 65 years, one of the most
prominent citizens of Great Harrington
and with a large acquaintance among the
electricians of the eastern states, was in
stantly killed by a shock of 3,000 volts in

powerful convertor. When the power |

up stairs, heard a heavy fall, and upon j
investigation found Mr. Pope (lead 011 the
floor. Doctors say death was instanta- j
neons. Mr. Pope was a native of Great
Harrington, being born in tlie house in
which he met his death. He leaves a I
widow, two daughters and a son. For !
some years ho was interested with his
brother Ralph in the editorial manage- j
ment of tHe Electrical Magazine, pub- I
lished in New York. The news of his
death created a great sensation in this ,
community.
THREE KILLED; SEVERAL HURT
Pittsburg Trolley Car Runs Away
and Is Smashed to Splinters.
Pittsburg, Oct. 14.—Three persons
were killed outright and nine others in
jured by a runaway trolley car on the
West End electric lino jumping the
track and going over an embankment at
6:2oo'clock last night. The killed are:
George Rothman, aged 50, furniture
dealer, Carnegie, Pa.; Fred Heisel, aged j
55, glassworker, Carnegie, Pa.; unknown !
woman, about 30 years old, body taken !
to the morgue. The most severely :
injured are: Mrs. Michael Foley, Pitts- j
burg, bud scalp wound and internal in- ]
juries; may die; Conductor Albert Mc-
Guire, aged 35, Pittsburg, scalp wound !
and internal injuries; Michael Foley, j
Pittsburg, bad seal]) wound; Prof. Alex.
Phillips, Crafton, right knee lacerated*
and may have to be umputated. The
car wrecked was No. 50 on the Curnegie
branch of the West End electric line.
Just before the city limit is reached there
is a sharp curve and hill along the track
for about a quarter of a mile. When
the car reached this point the brake rod
broke and the motor man lost control.
The car dashed down the hill until it ;
reached McCartney street, where there is |
a sharp curve. Here it jumped the |,
track and turned completely over, land- j
ingin a ravine alongside the road. The J
car was broken into splinters, and the ;
three persons killed were horribly man
gled. Just before the car jumped the
track the conductor yelled to the pas
sengers to all fall down to the bottom of
the car. Before they obeyed the order
Mrs. Foley dropped her young daughter
Katie out of the car window and probably
saved the child's life.

Madrid, Oct. 13.—A dispatch from
Havana to the Imparcial says that a
band of insurgents recently captured the '

Marlborough Back from the
South—Ho Bought Four Mules,
Not for Four-in-Hand, However.
New York, Oct. 15.—Simultaneously
with the unexpected arrival of the Duke
of Marlborough yesterday from the blue
grass regions o? Kentucky, from where
he was expected to prolong his trip south
several weeks, comes the rumor that
there will be another Vanderbilt marri
age shortly after Miss Consuelo becomes
a duchess, and that this wedding will re
unite her divorced parents. This rumor,
which finds many believers among the
members of the Vanderbilt set who have
watched the doings of William K. Van
derbilt and his divorced wife, started in
Hempstead last Saturday, when Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Miss Consuelo were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kernochan.
Marlborough Talks.
Marlborough had planned to continue
his trip south from Louisville to Now
Orleans and other southern cities, but
for some evidently imp jrtant reason ho
left his cousin and party to go 011 their
way, and hastened back to this city, ar
riving at the Plaza hotel at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He was interviewed
later by a reporter: "The bluegrass region
of your famous Kentucky is one of the
most beautiful and picturesque I ever
saw," said he, when asked about his
trip. "The horses, too, are equal to
the finest we breed on the other side. No,
1 have decided not to purchase any stud
lit present, though I like the stock."
\\ hen asked the reason for his un
expected return he refused to say any
thing, except that he would not have
time to make the contemplated trip and
get ready for his wedding at St. Thomas'
Church on November 0. "I invested,"
lie continued, "however, in four Ken
tucky mules, which I shall ship to Eng
land and use for farming purposes at
Blenheim. No, I shall not drive them
four-in-hand."
His Relatives Won't Come.
With regard to his wedding the duke
•mid that he had not selected any of his
ushers. The Hon. Ivor Churchill Guest,
his cousin, would be his best man.
Judging from the last statement made
by the duke, Miss Vanderbilt will evi
dently be disappointed in her wish to
have some of her prospective titled fe
male relatives present at her wedding.
"Owing to the extremely rough weather
prevailing at sea at this time of the
year," said he, "I do not think that
any of the ladies' among my relatives
can get here. I hope, however, that
they may."
