THE RIGHT OF ALIENS TO HOLD REAL
ESTATE

The question is frequently asked as to
the rights of aliens to acquire, hold and
convey, by deed or will, real estate in the
United States, and of the co-relative
rights of American citizens in other
countries.
BY common law in Great Britain no
alien could acquire any title to real es-
tate, or at least nothing but life title.
After the death of an alien purchaser,
his property escheated to the King. The
same rule was adopted by the original
Thirteen States, on their successful sever
ance from the mother country. An
alien could purchase, hold and enjoy real
property during his lifetime, but on his
death it reverted to the State. A deed of
sale or gift, or devise by will, ex-
ecuted by an alien, was null and
void. This rule of the common
law has been gradually modified until it
does not practically exist in all its rigor
in any of the States. Without examin-
ing the present status of the law in the
different States, up to 1871 twenty-five
of them had practically abolished the
common law rule by passing laws en-
abling aliens to hold lands in fee. In
some of these States the right is limited
to resident aliens. In eight other States
the privilege OF holding and conveying
the same as citizens, only Injured from
the time the resident alien declared his
intention to become a citizen. Three
other States, like Pennsylvania, granted
the right to limit-d extent and hedged
it about with numerous provisos. Two
only of the States at that time (187D re-
tanned the common law disability.
Whatever changes, if any, may have
been made since that date, have un-
doubtedly been in favor of the aliens
right to hold and convey real property.
In 1870 the disability of aliens holding
real estate in fee in Great Britain and
Ireland was removed, 50 far as any sub
sequent acquisition of property in the
United Kingdom was concerned. The
act of Parliament of that date declares
in substance that real and personal prop
erty may be acquired and disposed of by,
or transmitted through, an alien in the
ea,oa monnor as If ha waro a Rr;t;eh uuh
ject.
Those of the American States who still
cling to the old doctrine of exclusion
should keep up with the liberal spirit of
the age by following the example of
Great Britain and large majority Of
their sister States.

THE historical accounts of the ravages
in former times of contagious disease
seem almost fabulous at this day when
most of the known destroyers of the hui

derstood and held under control than in
past ages; and still the possibilities of yell
low fever getting loose in great city
like London, Paris, l;ew York or Phila-
delphia with the virulence with which it
attacked Memphis and some small
Southern towns last year is something
frightful to think of. But if the accounts
that come to us of the ravages in China
of the deadly Asiatic plague are authentic
then even 50 fearful q calamity as we
have suggested is but drop in the buck

appears to be in fair way to lose some
of its surplus population.
