Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 9Th, 1884.
One Of the most important bills in
troduced this session, was that pre-
sented to the House a few days ago by
Mr.. Oates, Of Alabama to prohibit
aliens and foreigners from acquiring
title to OF owning lands within the
United States and any deeds or other
conveyances acquired by such after the
passage Of the act shall be void but
that such foreign born persons as have
legally declared their intention to be-
come citizens shall be eligible to ac-
quire homesteads if otherwise qualified
under the homestead laws. The neces-
sity for such bill, and the reasons for
introducing it, are apparent. The no
bility Of England and other countries are
turning their eyes toward the cheap
lands Of America. While they reside in
their castles and palaces and manors
and the gay courts of Europe, they
will draw vast incomes from their ten
ants on their landed estates in America,
making it kind of second Ireland.
During the last few years immense es-
tates have been purchased in the
United States by the nobility of Great
Britain. 100000 acres of well Sc
lected land in Montana and Dakota
have been purchased by Sir Edward j.
Reed, Member of Parliament for Car
diff, Wales. 100000 acres, consist
ing mostly of pine lands in Mississippi.
though including 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural land in the Yazoo
river bottoms, is owned by the firm of
Phillips, Marshall & Co., of Mark
Lane, London. $4,000 acres, which
includes an entire county in Kansas,
is the property of Alexander Grant.
The Duke of Scotland owns about 500
600 acres, part Of which is in the North
Platte, Nebraska, and part in Colorado.
Lord Stafford owns 100, 900 on the line
of the Northern Pacific r. r. Lord
Dunraven bought 100000 acres in
Colorado, at Government prices, and it
is now one of the best cattle ranches in
the county. The Duke of Buford is one
of the four English owners of 400, 600
acres in the Panhandle of Texas.
There are many other lordly snobs of
Great Britain, and not few German
Counts, who have from 1000 to 1900
acres in Colorado, Texas, Dakota, Mon
tana and New Mexico. These royal
leeehes will in a few years, unless

Pencil-sketches of Misery.

A cold wind is sweeping down from
the north through all the Ohio valley
snow is falling thick and fast every.
where ice is forming, and the tents on
the foothills are glazed with it. The
uncovered earth, which is the only
floor of these habitations where those
who have here no other must dwell, is
frozen hard. There is scarcely a tent
Where one or more persons are not
lying i'll on this cold earth with pneu-
monia. In many dead are awaiting
burial. In the school house one man
died last night. An old quilt is spread
over the inanimate form. About it.,
sObbing in helpless, childish grief, are
four children. The eldest pulls back
the covering from the face that yester-
day knew her, gaZes an instant upon it
and then turns away as if afraid. They
are orphans Their mother died last
spring. Naked little children, father
less and mOtherless the eldest is u.
the youngest 5. They are the children
OF Michael Gavin. Shall l tell YOU
more than that they are naked-thrown
on the charity of their little world
when it is unable to take care of itself {?
Here is shivering family Of seven
persons. The name of the father is
David Nixon. The oldest child is 10.
the youngest 2. The mother is an
invalid. They had clung, through all
the overwhelming waters, to their little
house. Then came that fearful storm.
Their house was blown over, broken in
twain and all their household effects
lost. These are but specimen cases.
Said Judge Youngblood to me last
night The whole country is aroused
and awake to the situation as long as
the water continues to run. The mo
ment it begins to fall interest in the
people who are ruined by it, made
homeless by it, declines. Yet then its
awful ravages are the most apparent.
Then suffering from it is most felt. y
All of these suffering folks need your
help far more than one or two weeks
ago, before the recedence of the water
laid their calamity bare and naked in
all its details and before their small
savings were totally exhausted. Now
they are utterly helpless.
