FOREIGN LANDLORDISM.
A BILL TO PREVENT ALIENS FROM ACQUIR¬
IN' U lands in the united states.
Representative committee Oates, judiciary, of Alabama, Monday, from
the on on
reported to the house a bill to prohibit
aliens from acquiring title to or owning
lands within the United States. Ah elab¬
orate report accompanied the bill, iti it
the committe says tlie pOWer Of the gov
ernment to totally exclude aliens irOiU
coming within its jurisdiction, as hns
been done iu the case of the Chinese, no
one questions. Your the committeb as¬
certained, says report, With
reasonable certainty, that beitain
noblemen acquired, of Europe, principally in English, the
have and now own, ag¬
gregate about 21,000,000 acres of land
within the United States. This alien,
non-resident ownership will, in the course
of time, lead to a system of land ! ordism
incompatible institutions with the the best United interests and
free of States.
The foundation of such a sys¬
tem is being laid broadly in
the western states and territories.
The bill proposes to place these aliens un¬
der a disability of the cival law as to all
future at temps to acquire lands in this
country. In other words, the report says,
the bill is a declaration against absentee
land-lordism. In conclusion, the report
says;
“While the natural increase in popula
tion and 500,0( 0 foreigners who flock to
our shores annually, and by competition,
are reducing the wages of labor, making
the battle of life harder to win, how a
few years hence to provide homes for our
poor people is a problem The multiplication for American
statesmen to folve.
of owners of the soil number is a corresponding
enlargement of the of patriots,
and ewrv land-owner in this country
should owe allegiance to the United
States.”

The republican senatorial caucus Tues¬
day night nominated E. K. Valentine, of
Nebraska,as W. sergeant-at-arms of the senate,
to succeed P. Canaday, whose resig¬
nation takes effect the 30th instant. Tlie
successful candidate is a lawyer of West
Point, Nebraska, about fifty years of age.
He served three terms in congress from
that state, retiring in 1885, since which
time lie has been engaged in the practice
of bis profession.
Tlie protracted negotiations between
the senate and housp, respecting the dif¬
ferences arising from conflicting amend¬
ments to the Morrill pension bill, were
brought to a successful conclusion Tues
day by the final agreement of the con¬
ferees. By the terms of agreement the
senate recedes from its insistance upon
the dependent f- ature and the house
agrees to drop the service pension provis¬
ion, leaving the bill a disability pension
bill.
For the fourth time the republican rep¬
resentatives were in caucus Tuesday night
upon the subject of a national election
law. The meeting was to decide as be¬
tween the Lodge and Rowell bills. The
first two hours were devoted entirely to a
discussion which served but to accentuate
the preference of southern republicans for
the Lodge plan. As soon as a proposi¬
tion is reduced to a form, it is expected
that another caucus will be called to
formally adopt the measure and provide
for it's speedy consideration of the house.
The house, on Wednesday, added be¬
tween fifty and one hundred million dol¬
lars to the annual pension rolls, which
flow amounts to nearly $110,000,000, It
was done by passing a compromise meas¬
ure for the Morrill pension bill. The bill
served provides for pensioning in the dependents from who
three months army at
six to twelve dollars a month, according
to their condition. The bill also gives to
the widows of men who served three
months eight dollars a month and two
dollars a month to each child under six¬
teen. It matters not whether a man was
wounded or contracted disease in the
service. If he was on the rolls three
months he got a pension or his wife and
children get pensions.

BISMARCK TALKS.
HE SAYS TOO MUCH EDUCATION HAS
CAUSED NIHILISM.
A correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph , has been accorded an inter¬
view by Prince Bismarck. The prince
declared that no concession Jo the nihilists
was possible. Over education had led to
much dissatisfaction and disappointment
in Germany, but iu Russia bad led to dis¬
affection and conspiracy. There
were ten times as many peo
plo «uliu »lcil for the, higher
walks as fliere places to
fill. Further education was making
pedantic theorists visionaries unlit for
constitutional government. It would he
madness to put such men in authority.
The Russians do not know yet what with they
want. They must therefore be ruled
a tod of iron. Referring to the labor
question, the prince ridiculed the idea
that the workmen would ever he content¬
ed, because, ho said, the ricli are against never
contented. Jfe spoke strongly
dictation as to the hours oi labor and
against usurping to the rightful authority
of parent over their children.

living near Fayetteville, in Lincoln coun¬
tv, saw a man set fire to his barn, lit

them is dead and the other cannot live.
