l Tribune Correspondent Gives His
Idea on the Subject.
Lot the Amount Of Land Any Man Can
Own Be Based on the Population.
A Chance for Return.

TO your invitation l offer q few
thoughts on the subject of land ow-
lnership.
There are three great fundamen-
tai questions now before the Ameri.
can people-finance, land and trans.
portation-and the thought of the
great mass Of the American people
is rapidly crystalizing into a sen.
tentious axiom that covers the
whole ground: Equal rights to
all, special privileges to none"
The millennium is not crowding
Us very much, yet, and all forms
Of real progress meets with as Bit
ter opposition now as ever. The
supper ten thousand" are coneerva-
tive, they are beneficiaries of the
past expressions Of the world for
thousand years and. want no
change; hence, are ever on the alert
to caet stumbling blocks in the
way Of progress.
The literati, including the legal
and ministerial professions, seldom
give the matter any careful atten-
ton; to use homely adage, they,
like the hog, seldom look up to him
who threshes down the acorns; con-
sequently all reform and progress
necessarily comes very largely
from the common people who are
keenly sensible Of the wrongs and
expressions they suffer. The his.
tory of the world gives but one in
stance of rich man becoming
poor, that they, the poor, through
his poverty, might become rich.
The fruits of that sacrifice are the
riches of the common people today,
but the harvest is only begun; 1900
years bring US some ripe fruit, but
there is more to follow. The chill.
ling blasts of ridicule, the angelic
smiles of sophistry and the srtfu !
devices of lies, are all interposed to
intercept the progress Of the races.
Heredity is more revered than
genius. The conservative elements
are always looking back ward and
pointing with pride" The progress
sive elements press on and add te
what is aleady accomplished.
The tenure of the earth was
given to man in the beginning al
follows: Multiply, replenish thu
earth and snbdne it," In accord
ance with this divine injunction
the man that subdues the earth i
, entitled to that much of it. Blu
>for the sake Of harmony and jus
tice, the tenure of land must b.
systematically regulated. Ate
5000 years of effort and experience
the race is still making a botch o
it and the men who till the sol
usually till it for another. Moth
ing would contribute more to tn
happiness and elevation of the rae
'ahan the proper regulation of lan'
tenure. I would suggest as pos
sible improvement of the presen
system that the distribution an,
tenure of land be based upon popu
lation.
The general government no,
provides that the individual ma
acquire from it the maximum o
800 acres, but he can acquire, b.
purchase from his fellows, Who'll
township if he has the money. Til
state should here step in and linn
the ownership within its border
and now is a good time for 1dah
TO move in the matter. Wyominl
with true western courage, ind'
pendence and chivalry. stepped

Does the use of light wines tend to
lessen the evils of the drink habit?
See the following evidence to the con-
trary. ''The Work a-day World of
Paris France says: Drunkenness
is the beginning and ending of life in
the great French industrial centers.
Against this vice what can the salar-
les of women and children do? The
woman's labor helps the drunken hus-
band on the road to ruin The child
is born with disease in his bones, and
with evil example before him. There
are manufacturing towns Uille for
example) where the women have fol-
lowed the example of the men, and
have added drunkenness to their
other vices. 1t is estimated that at
Lille, twenty-five out of every one
hundred men, and twelve out Of every
one hundred women, ere confirmed
drunkards. Here are even women's
wine shops, where the unfortunate
frequenters drink coffee and spirits
while their babes lie drugged at
home with a dormant" as the pop
ular infants narcotic is called.
M. Jules Simon says, concerning
the manufacturing towns of France,
which some presume to be the models
Of temperance:
"The working classes, who inhabit
the squalid lodgings of the back
slums, are as violently addicted to
liquor as the most degraded of the
same class in England.
Charles Dickens wrote:
"The wine shops are the colleges
and chapels Of the poor in France.
The wine shops breed in physical
atmosphere of malaria and moral
pestilence Of envy and vengeance, the
men of crime and revolution
In 1872 "The Constitutional, a
newspaper of Paris, said:
sit is unanimously admitted that
the habit of drunkenness has increased
in France year by year since the be-
ginning of the century. In all d.
rections its increase is remarked and
complaints are made of the disas-
trous effects which it produces on
public health, as we'll as on public
morality. The habitues Of the tav-
ern and the wine cellars lose all in
clination for work; they desert the
workshop during the several days of
the week, and the gains of the other
days are devoted entirely to the in
diligence of their passion for drink.
The drunkards children are feeble
and sickly, and the deterioration of
the population of the towns and dis
tricts in which drunkenness is most
common is clearly perceptible. The
French race is deteriorating daily"

farmers need change in some OF their

and believed that the farmers are the
instigators and supporters OF this Hatch

should be its most vigorous opponents.
The produce exchanges and boards OF

stroy, are of the greatest advantage to

Our Debt and Prosperity.
Ty0ar.S FdlieV Ns,rs.

A special dispatch from Charleston,
West Virginia, TO the Baltimore sun
represents West Virginia as prospecting
financially in very high degree. 1t
states that she had in her treasury last
month, free and above all claims upon
her, about 100000, and receipts since
that time have been increasing. She
has $500, 900 in a school fund drawing
interest, so that she now has on hand
more than Sl,OOO,O 900 subject to no claim
whatever.
West Virgnia's friends can but look
on it as pity that, prosperous as she is.
she makes no sort Of provision for her
old debt. Just how much Of the debt
that Virginia owed before the war West
Virginia owes now we shall not pretend
to say, but it is simply preposterous to
say that she owes none Of it. She was
an integral part OF the State when the
money was borrowed, and it was spent
when the wisdom of Virgnia's Legisla-
ture, composed in part OF representa-
tiyes of what is now West Virginia,
thought that it should be spent. She
took part in the borrowing and she
took part in the spending, and she
should, Of course, pay what is her
equitable part of the debt. Her public
men cannot afford to allow the matter
to stand in its present shape. -Riclrmond
Times.
This question should be taken up by
our Legislature before adjournment
and some provision made for the AMIGA
bic adjustment OF this obnoxious debt.
1t is shame that il has been allowed
TO stand all these years and nothing
done to get rid OF 1t. West Virginia
owes portion OF the old Virginia debt,
no doubt about that; but the trouble is
that neither Virginia nor West Vir-
ginia can agree upon the amount Let
our Legislature ascertain as best II can
what amount Of the Virginia debt this
State honestly owes, and then propose
n settlement. If our figures are reject
ed then we can but lay back on our
ores and await the decision OF the Su-
preme Court OF the United States.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 10
Western Democrats here are greatly
pleased at the selection OF J. Sterling Nor
ton, of Nebraska, for Secretary Of Agri-
culture under Cleveland. They say IL is
altogether an admiral appointment, and
that Morton will be one OF the strong men
OF the administration. Representative
Bryan, of Nebraska, said of Mr.. Morton
today: No one who knows him will
question his ability His name was sug-
gested fer the portfolio of agriculture be-
cause OF his being the father
of Arbor Day, first established in
our State, and afterwards by many others.
He IS much liked by Mr.. Cleveland, both
in his opinions on public questions and in
the courage which has led him to stand TO
these opinions at all times. He has for al
most q generation preached the gospel OF
tariff reform 10 an unbelieying people.
have no doubt that the President will find
IN him not only an intelligent counsellor
and an efficient Secretary. but also a con-
genial companion. Mr. Morton is brilliant
after dinner speaker, aud l shall be disap-
pointed if If ne does not prove formible
rival OF Mr.. Depew in that field"
