IsGERsoLL's NEW IDEA.

At bis reception in Helena, Mont, few
days ago, along with much light and felic-
itous humor, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
advanced an original and novel idea on
the land question. which is worthy of more
than passing notice, and which might be-
come more potent and enduring tissue, {"
and more popular with the masses, than
many which have been paraded as fit
groundwork for the foundation of new
parties.
Ingcrsoll's idea is as different from
Henry Georges as the latter is from that
older notion that the king owns or NAV
appropriate everything. Ingersoll's start
ing point is, that the country will be most
prosperous and strongest which has pro.
portionately to area the most landowners
in il; that country will be strongest and
most prosperous in which the men who
prove it; that country will be strongest
and most prosperous in which are the most
homes that are occupied by their owners.
He iavors policy which, on the basis of
this idea, would make this the strongest
and most prosperous of all countries on
earth. As the first step in this direction
instead Of deriving all taxation from
land, the Henry George idea-he would,
within reasonable and prescribed limita-
tons, exempt all owner-oceupied homes
from taxation or other exactions. as we'll
rs from forced sale on any pretext what.
ever. The home-the greatest and con.
tinuing benefit TO the state~-he would
make inalienable except by the will and
act of its owner; the sanctuary OF the
family, inviolahle except for crimes
agains the public perpetrated by the &C.
cupant.
The Ingersoll idea is to tax land accord.
ing TO the use that is made of it, or per
haps it would be more proper TO say ac-
covding 10 the non-use, taxing highest the
largest holdings by individuals or cor.
porations, non-ased and withheld from
sale. The lngersoll idea would further
apply TO such holdings the principle which
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-06-05

Is applied when the construction OF rail-
road is required for the public benefit.
These, ON just compensation, can
for this public benefit condemn
a necessary amount of land held
under private ownership to their use-
Consistently with his original idea, that
the occupation and ownership of homes
by all who will properly care for them, is
one of the greatest Of public benefits, the
Ingersoll idea would apply this condemna-
ton principle in behalf of home-seekers
against 30 much as is needed and is held by
non-users who refuse to sell.
1t was quite unnecessary for the elo-
quent speaker to disclaim any leaning to-
ward confscation. His idea is susceptible
of no such construction. If applied it
would deprive the former owner of the
land of none of the benefits of his original
investment, his foresight, his management
or his good luck. With reference TO the
public interest 1t would transfer the land
from an injurious to a beneficial owner
ship, but only after full and just compen-
sation to him, and in the case of railroad
corporation only on the application of the
same rule under which the private lands
had been condemned to its use.
Few will dissent from the proposition
that home-getting and homecoming con-
duces in the highest degree to the stabil-
ity and general welfare of the country,
and therefore should be encouraged and
facilitated by every lawful and reasonable
means. 1t is equally true that vast hold
ings, especially by corporations, for nom
use and speculation, is obstructive of pro-
gress, great public injury, and is in fact
becoming frowning menace to free insti-
tutions. Unless checked by some means,
it threatens this country with landlordism
on scale far in excess of that which has
been the curse and the ruin of more than
one great and powerful nation.
He will be benefactor to his race, and
entitled to high rank among those most
distinguished for patriotic service, who
shall devise and procure the adoption of
lawful, reasonable and just means for
checking this tendency to enormous spec
ulatiye holdings, and to substitute there
for. to the fullest possible extent, the prac-
tice of home-getting and homecoming.
Mr.. Ingersoll's idea may not be just the
thing, but if not it is time for the bene-
factor to appear who will suggest and
labor for the adoption of better one.

spector to the department at Ottawa, in which
he speaks of shad as follows: "To my
knowledge none have been taken in the
Fraser this season, but few are occa-
sionally caught in the gulf, around Race rocks,
and at other points. The lighthouse keeper on
the Fraser sand heads reported having collected
a number OF fish which were strange to him,

Taken in time,
even Consumption yields to the
wonderful effects of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It
won't make new lungs-but it will
make diseased ones healthy when
nothing else will. There's reason
for it, too. Consumption is Lung
scrofula. For every form of scrof-
ula, and all blood-taints, the "Dis-
covery" is a positive cure. It's
the most potent strength -restorer,
blood cleanser, and flesh builder
known to medical science. For
Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and
all lingering Coughs, it's an une-

one. IF it doesn't benefit or cure,
you have your money back. You've

to lose.

Tn. woman VINO Knows 4 All.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Ladies' Home Journal.
The intellectual woman" who is so
well-informed, and is so anxious to have
you know it, always reminds me of leek,
useful but tear-starting. She has thought
on every subject under and over the sun,
and has formed her convictions on all mat
tiers, and the instant you breach subject
she hastens to assure you that she knows
all about it. She sometimes possesses
handsome features, but her too active in
teilect has sharpened them, and hued
away the curves of beauty. She is inclined
to dress severely, and TO wear very digni-
fed bonnets. She thinks out her answers
a sentence ahead of your remarks, and
waits for you to finish with mere toler-
snce. Her women friends speak of her
with great respect as 'such an intelligent
person." and the clergyman of her faith is
the only man who ever bestows any volun-
tary attention upon her. Her husband
considers her remarkably intelligent
woman-but he is giving to dining at the
club great deal, and neekly acknowl-
edges that he cannot hold candle to his
wife in brain.

Woman Taken to Canada on . Charge
Which Has Not Been Tried.
Barrister J. II. Pillet Of Montreal was at the
State Department today engaged in placing be-
fore Third Assistant Secretary Moore an inter-
estin g extradition case. The main statement
made is to the effect that one Leda Lamon-
taigne, a bea utiful French Canadian woman
Of twenty summers and the mother Of
two-year-old infant, is illegally i'm
prisoned in Sherbrooke Jail, in Canada.
1t seems that some time last year Ledas hus-
band murdered and it was charged
that the crime was committed by Leda's
brother, Rene, in the presence OF Leda.
Rather than testify against her brother Leda
fed to Boston and there secured employment
as a domestic. after having herself been
acquitted of completely in the killing. Very
naturally the Canadian authorities wanted
Leda's evidence, but they could not have it
for the asking. She was charged with arson,
and under a warrant was extradited last Au-
gust and early in September was taken to Sher-
brooke. She was not tried on the charge of arson,
but was brought into court and urged to
testify against her brother. This she refused
to do, because she knew her testimony would
result in his conviction. whereupon the court
sentenced her to imprisonment for one year
for contempt. Her brother was hanged.
Mr.. Pillet represented to Secretary Moore
that Leda is detained illegally, because the
Canadian authorities had no right to do other
with Leda than try her on the charge Of arson.
He contends that Leds is, for all pur-
poses except the charge of arson. bodily
and legally in the United States, therefore
the United States government has the right to
demand that she--not having been tried for
arson-shan be liberated from the imprison-
ment inflicted upon her for contempt of court
Mr.. Pillet will call upon Sir Julian Paunce-
fote this afternoon with reference to ANoese.
