SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1892.

The lynching mania assumed peculiar
phase in Dingess, w. Va, recently.
Some Italian laborers, sent from Pitts
burg, Pa, to labor on the Norfolk &
Western Railroad, kicked vigorously at
the company store prices. On the night
of March 10, party of masked noun
taineers, armed with rifles, went to the
Dingess House and called out the pro.
prietor. They demanded that Ambrose,
the foreman, be put out of the house,
with the other, and that he Immediately
leave town. Mr.. Dinges refused. A
dozen Winchesters were levelled at his
head, and the marauders marched in
and dragged the Italian from his bed
He was bound and dragged screaming
from the house, and was carried eff to
the mountains and probably to death.
The other Italians were so terrified tina
they Immediately fled, and came back
to Pittsburg 1t is certainly bad enough
for the lyrch-law remedy to be applied
to cases ofrape and murder an d we GER.
tainly howe that the ohense of ,"kicking
At the company store prices" will not be
graded as worthy Of the death penalty
Still, as lynch.law seems to have become
strong enough to defy our National and
State governments, it may be we'll that
it should be plainly seen upon what friv.

"The omInous importance OF the figures
grows as the figures are weighed. What
ls true Of ten average counties is true
more or less Of whole state, and to say
that nearly third Of the farms OF Kan
saS, and nearly half OF the homes are
rented, and that over so per cent. OF the
other farms, and over 40 per cent. Of the
other homes, are heavily mortgaged, Is to
show that the tariff has not been such q
blessing to the western farmer as Its sup
porters have given US to believe, and
also that the talk about plenty Of free
land or cheap land to be had in Kansas
is delusIon and snare. These figures
mean, In plain terms, that the people oi
Kansas are being divorced from the soil
and are becoming renters; that the pro
cess OF divorce is rapidly accelersting, II
having increased $50 per cent. In ter
years, and that before many decades, i
present conditions prevail, there vii
come to pass much the same order o
things as exist In deeply-Sympathized

Of tenants. Indeed, there would be y
great difference to the disadvantage Of
the American tenants; the eviction laws
ara much harsher in America than In
Ireland, and American citizens could,
and can to-day, be more cruelty treated
with the sanction Of the law than can be
shown has been the case In any one In
stance through the protracted period OF
the Irish agrarlan agitation.
"Doubtless when the tabulation OF the
returns of some Of the northwestern
states commences, an even worse condi-
tion Of things will be discovered, as the
recorded mortgage indebtedness which
has already been investigated was found
90 be heaviest there. There are other
states In the west that will probably pre-
sent better showing than Kansas and
Ohio, but IL ls cetain that these two states
cannot be far from representing the gen.
eral condition throughout the west.
"When the investigation comes east, It
Is the expectation that a very much worse
state of things will be revealed, for there
concentrating tendencies have been
longer at work. In such state as Mas
sachusettg, for instance, 1t is certain that
land ownership has become highly con-
centrated, since the population has been
packing into the cities at an accelerated
speed. When examination comes to the
great cities It will not be surprising II
the condition discovered resembles that
known to have existed In Rome when the
landed mobiles bought the suffrages OF
the landless impoverished and embruittd
masses with bread and circuses. The
work of tabulstlon will be rapidly
pushed, and the results will be made
public In bulletins as fast as they appear,
just as the counts Of population were
made known.

THE OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN HOMES.

THE OWNEkSHIF OF AMBhiOAN nV~HA'
In the Cleveland Press Henry George,
ir., has an interesting and valuable artl"
Gle, based upon the census statistics, re-
gardlng the ownership Of homes and
farms in the United States. He says:
"Wlth view of getting some hight
upon this most important matter, the
Single Tax Club, of st. Louis, two years
ago drew up petition to the superin-
tendent of the eleventh census to collect
data to show what percentage OF the peo'
pie own their own homes and farms,
what proportion are tenants; OF those
who occupy their own homes and farms,
what proportion have their property free
from debt; and, of the homes and farms
which are under mortgage, what per-
centAge of the value Is so mortgRged?
"This petition was adopted not only by
ali the single tax clubs throughout the
United States, but by all the knights Of
Labor Assemblies, all the Farmers ALI
snce Associations, and other farmer and
industrial organizations. So strong Was
the demand, indeed, that Congress passed
special act extending the investigations
of the census bureau to this work and
made an appropriation of half q million
dollars. The census bureau accordingly
set about its task, which was found at the
outset to be gigantic one. No such
work had ever been undertaken before
In this country, and 1t was problem tC
know how to proceed. AT length a very
simple plan was decided upOn-that o.
sending out printed lists of question:
into selected districts that seemed to b
representative Of larger regions. Th'
idea was to make q thorough canvass b!
sending to every occupier OF home o
farm within the selected district the lis
of questions, asking, among other things
whether he owned OK hired the home o
farm, whichever it might be, upon WhicI
he resided; and il he owned 1t, whethe
It was mortgaged, and If mortgaged, t
what extent.

been coming in but 1t Is only now begir
ming to be tabulated. In few weeks

ait was ascertSined that there were In
the ten Kansas counties 1888 farms.
Reports were returned from all but 1905

about the percentage of farms in Ohio

states not reported. The number is 30
lnconsiderable that the result could not
possibly be affected more than 1 per
cent. for better or for worse, so that the
following averages may be taken as sp-
proximately correct.

"That is to say, extending the same
percentage over the whole Of Kansas as
are found In the ten counties investi-
gated, It would be found that out OF every
nine farms two were owned free OF debt,
three were worked by tenants, and four
were worked by owners subject to an In
cumbrance Of 3S per cent. Of their value.
ain Ohio, on the basis Of these returns,
out of every eight farms four are owned
