plates after Oct. l. 1897, must produce in
one Of the six years ending at that date

A misunderstanding Rectieaa.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-John Joy Edison,
chairman of the committee of the twenty
sixth national e~ncampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, to be held hero in
September, has written a letter to Com
mander-in-Chief Palmer, stating that the
committee asked onpress to appropriate
100000 from the funds of the District of
Columbia to assist in paying the expenses
Of the encampment, and that in conse-
quence OF an belief that the ap-
priation was asked from the general FUND
of the government, members OF the G. A.
K. had sent protests to congress- against the
appropriation. Edison says the misapnre-
hension is embarrassing to the committee
and asks that it may be rectified as far se
possible.

Many are hardly aware that Ida
Lewis. the most celebrated of light
house keepers, whose deeds of heroism
have surpassed even Grace Darling's. is
still alive. She is now fifty years old
and has charge of the Lime Rock light
house at Newport, where she is better
known than the wealthiest or mot
fashionable summer visitor. When she
was twelve years of age her mother
kept that light. her father being help
less cripple. That was in 1854 and in
September of that year she rescued
four young men from a capsized sail
boat In midwinter of 1866 81 she saved
a soldier of the Fort Adams garrison
who had been similarly upset and he
was restored to life at the lighthouse.
In the fall of 1867 three men were
swamped in their boat near Lime Rock
while trying to pick up valuable
sheep that had fallen from wharf.
She saved them and the sheep also. Not
long afterward she saw a man clinging
to a spindle that marked a reef near the
lighthouse, rowed out to him and got
him safely. In a gale in March. 1869,
she rescued two more soldiers from a
swamped boat. On February 4, 1880.
two mem bers of the Fort Adams gar
rison band broke through the ice be-
tween the lighthouse and the fort and
she pulled them out. Thus far she has
saved thirteen persons from drowning.

The local organs of McKinleyism
will serve the interests of their party
best by maintaining profound silence
as to the cause of the reduction of wages
by the iron and steel trust. The cause
is clear to every one who chooses to see.
The trust reduces wages because it has
the power to do so, and the tariff gives
no help to the hapless workmen. The
republican tariff is fraud. 1t protects
only those who, like Mr.. Carnegie,
need no protection, but are hungry FOR
more money to add to the millions
which the tariff has enabled them to
take from the pockets of the unpro-
tected consumer.-San Francisco Ex-

A REJECTED APPOINTMENT.
The Method in the "PrOfessional Lobby
lists" Madness.

1t is not unlikely that the Armour
dressed beef trust ordered its attorney,
Mr.. William j. Campbell, whom Presi-
dent Harrison selected as chairman of
his national committee, to refuse that
Office. The refusal certainly does not
rest on Mr.. Farwell's letter, in which
the presidents description of Campbell
as professional lobbyist" was made
public. The beef trust, however, has a
grievance. Four years ago it contrib
uted 500. 900 to the Harrison corruption
fund on the understanding that when
the republican tariff was made up q
duty should be placed on hides. That
tax would have been worth $3.50, 900 to
the Armours, SO their investment of
500, 900 in Harrison and protectionism
was one of the best the firm ever made.
According to contract Mr.. McKin ey,
in the preparation of his bill, put tax
upon hides. But the leather industries
in the country objected strongly to the
proposed tax on their raw materials.
In the struggle three times the Armours
forced McKinley's committee to live up
to the ante-electioE contract, and they
were finally beaten only when New
England republican congressman re-
fused pointblank to vote for the Nc
Kiuley tariff if the tax on hides was left

Single Tax in the Dominion.


Ex-mayor Frank McDougall, Of OF
tawa, has taken the initiative in push
ing the idea of the single tax for muni-
cipal purposes in Ottawa. The first
step is to be discussion of the evils
of the present system at the next meet
ing of the board of trade. when the
single tax will be proposed as remedy.
Ottawa is the capital of the Dominion,
and land-grabbing there has been car
ried to an extreme. The result is high
taxes on improvements and large areas
of vacant land in those parts of the city
where the eligible building sites are to
be found. 1t is this result that has
forced the business men of the city to
consider the situation. Mr.. McDougall
has studied economic and social science,
and though he does not now accept tho
single tax absolutely, he is thoroughly
convinced that direct taxes should fall
upon land values and not upon labor
products. 1t is expected that the dis
cussion will be lively one, and that
the board of trade will endorse the sim
gle tax for municipal purposes.
Hon. A. r. Mcclellan, a senator of tho
Dominion from the Province of New
Brunswick, has been called upon by the
government of his province to take the
craftsmanship of the royal commission
to investigate the subject of municipal
taxation. Senator McClelan's atten-
ton has been called to the single tax,
and he expresses his readiness to bring
it up for the consideration of his COM
mission.
At the close of the single tax lecture
~, 20 fa1 ~ hi les CT
week, the customary privilege of ask
ing questions was extended to the audi
ence, and Mr.. A. C. Campbell under
took the task of furnishing the answers
The Toronto Grip reports the result as
follows:
His replies, it need scarcely be said,
were in all cases prompt and satisfac-
tory. In one particular instance no
was keenly witty. A young gentleman
rose and propounded case as follows:
II buy picture from an artist for 800;
in, say, five years 1 sell the picture for
| s., 900, and you agree that / am entitled
to the profit on the transaction. Now,
at the time that bought the picture a
friend of mine bought piece of land
| for 500, and at the time ] sold the work
of art he sold his land, also for s., 600.
You deny his right to this profit
Upon what rule of justice do you make
| such Distinction"
"We make no distinction" responded
Mr.. Campbell. ''As single takers, Wa
are pre-eminently encouragers OF COM
merce. If an artist makes a picture
and sells it for s1OO-that is straight
transaction. As purchaser you are the
owner of it, and if you dispose of it
at an advance, that is also a square
business, and you are entitled to any
profit you may make. The same prin-
ciple holds good in the other proposed
case. If man makes a piece of land
and sells it" But here the audience
caught on and the roar of laughter OBJ
waited any further extension of the
parallel
