goes so far as to attribute the whole thing

"Ilatred of Foreigners it says, Breaches
the height of absurdty in the new bill of
Representative Oates. Men of his class
are forever bowling against the admission
of foreigners to this country because they
are poor. They want every European
sent back il he does not bring II pocket
full of money with him. 1t is to please
such people that immigrant commission
ers refuse to allow poor men to land, and
often compel them to return to the chronic
sulferings and despair of their old homes.
And now wealth, like poverty, is to be
made sufficient reason for Withholding
the Inequalities of America from foreign
ers," This is extreme and unjust criti-
Cism. The bill as il now stands goes too
far; It's object is a good one. If SO modi-
fled as to exclude only the great foreign
corporations which are blocking out such
alien estates in the western territories, it
strikes us that it would be good meas
ure. But let the small foreign landhold-
ers retain their existing rights and priv
liges under the government SO long as
they obey the laws and conform to the
principles of Republican government.

The Oates bill, now pending in the
House, has reused quite a storm of discus
sion, and with reason. The bill, rs our
readers know, is one providing that no
alien shall hold lands in the United States
The evil aimed at is real and serious
enough, and has forced itself upon the at
tention of Congress by its persistent and
enormous growth within the past few
years. TiCCHtyOnc millions of acres in
our western territories is IA vast deal of
American soil to be held by foreign own
ers, whose interests and whose methods of
securing tenants are essentially and dis
tinctly foreign. The system of landlord
ism is likely to gain very strong foot
hold in the great and growing West, I'M
less something is done to pre-
vent these associations of English
noblemen and capitalists from i'm
porting undesirable foreign usages
into this country, 1t is clearly desira-
BILE to discourage the sequestration Of
our soil by any such methods. Every inch
of American territory should be governed
according to the spiritof our Constitution;
and English landlordism is about as far
from being III harmony with the princi-
pies of our Republican government as
anything can be.
! The evil, then, demands prompt and
energetic action on the part of Congress,
But we question the wisdom. the justice
and the practicability of the present bill
before the House 1t is too extreme and,
goes far beyond the particular evil it is in
tended to remedy, Congress does not need
to pass any such police regulations as are
embodied in this bill, 1t cannot be wise
or right to place such a ban upon emigra-
ton; for under the bill, as we understand
it, neither corporation nor individual can
hold land in this country until the holders
| become citizens of the United States. Nor
does the bill coniine itself to the terri
tories, where the National government
has absolute authority. 1t is so drawn as
to take effect in the States also, and its in
terdictiOn extends to the holding of all
real estate, whether in small or great
areas, by those who have not become citi-
zens of the United States.
Opposition to the bill, on the part of the
| public press, is much stronger than any
thing which has been said in its favor.

Silver Coinage.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr.. Morrill,,
from the committee on finance, reported
favorably, with amendments, the House
bill providing for the retirement and re
coinage of the trade dollar This is the
first step toward abating the silver nui-
sauce; but it is only the first step, 1t is
rather Il preliminary measure 10 that
legislation on the silver question which
the people are demanding. Common JUS
ticc requires the retirement of the trade
dollar. 1t is an imposition on the people.
But the welfare of the pubic-letting
alone justice and the financial honor of
the natiOn-demauds something further
1t demands that the compulsory coinage
of the standard silver dollar be stopped,
And why Because gold, the natur-
al basis Of national currency, is being
replaced by deprecated silver basis.
How otherwise can the accumulation Of
surplus silver in the national vaults he
accounted for ?
Last week the amount of gold certif-
Gates outstanding, which call for gold ON
demand, was increased S2,SO00O0, while
the amount OF gold held by the treasury
increased only $T0O,000. The Treasury
department must of course maintain re
serve in gold against the outstanding
legal tender notes. That limit, according
to the weekly statement of the United
States treasurer now lacks less, than s., 900 70
600 of being reached. On the first of Jan
uary the actual balance OF gold bullion
and silver coin in the treasury,
not held to cover certificates. was Sal,
64l 900. And in Il little over three
weeks-accordi to the Boston 1'rdrelCr,
to which we are indebted for the above
fgures-the falling off has been more than
$4,000, 900 This falling off is accounted
for by the fact that the proportion of sill
yer certificates in the receipts of the Treas
ury department, is on the increase while
the proportion of gold certificates is dim
inishng The steady decrease of the gold
reserve is an obvious sign of danger, and
naturally causes serious apprehension in
business circles. According to the United
States TreaSurer's report, the increase of
silver in the treasury was never So en-
barrassiug rs AT the present time. Last
week the amount in the treasury increaS-
ed 81 $50 600, aud the amount Of silver coin
and bullion owned by the treasury in eN-
cess of silver certificates increased during
the week 81 10000 If the coinage on the
buzzard dollar is not stopped, We must
expect premium on gold. The danger
can hardly be over-stated and the need of
immediate action can not be too strongly
urged upon Congress.

the cause of Ireland, or even, to look Mt it
from lower standpoint, in the slightest
degree avenge that country's wrongs.
Had the outrage occurred when there was
no danger to the lives of innocent people
it would have been barbaric as it was. il
was simply iiendish It is earnestly to be
hoped that the perpetrators Of the crime
will be detected, and if they are, short
will be their shrift.
In the meantime, apropos to American
responsibility for the doings of the dyna-
miters in London, it is singular coin
cidence that on Saturday morning. only n
few hours before the explosions, Mr.. Ed
munds introduced in the Senate a bill to
prevent and punish crimes committed by
means of explosive compounds. He stat
ed that some time since his attention was
drawn to what seemed to be the duty of
the United States with regard to such
matters, and having no time of his own at
his disposal he had requested friend to
draft bill for this purpose, which was
the bill he now submitted. The bill pro-
vides that any person who within the
United States shall make, buy, sell or
manufacture any dynamite explosive
specifying all the different scientific
names), with intent that such explosives
shall be used in the United states or in
any foreign country for the injury or de
struction of public or private property,
shall be prosecuted criminally. Some
such bill ought to become law. Whether
the dynamite Fenians" in this country
are connected with these crimes or not,
they will be charged with them by the
English press and people; and the United
states will be charged with sheltering
and to that extent abetting the outragcs
We can not afford to rest under any such
suspicion. For our own protection and
for the protection of our good name among
nations, some additional legislation is
clearly needed. We trust it will be en-.
acted without delay.

The opposition to legalized robbery in
the shape of the double taxation of mort
gagged real estate is growing in extent and
power. 1t will certainly triumph all over
the Union within very few years. Maine
is the latest State i'll which Il vigorous
effort is being made to do away with
the abuse of double taxation. The Port
land -iTqUs, the leading Democratic paper
of the State, strongly advocates the re.
form. Its reasoning is much the same as
that advanced by the FREE PRESS last
fall. BY way of illustration, suppose IA
citizen has IA farm and buildings of the as
sessed value Of 5000 and upon which he
pays taxes. He hires $1,000 and secures it
by mortgage upon his property. How
does the taxing power Of the State then
deal with this changed condition 1t
taxes the farmer for his whole property as
before the mortgage, and it taxes the
holder of the mortgage for its amount,
$1,000 as personal estate. 1t is plain that
the State imposes thus double tax upon
the amount of the mortgage. The mort
gagOr pays Il tax on it and the mort gagee
pays a tax on it which is a. clear Il case
of double taxation as ever existed. The
argus then goes on to say:
What is the remedy Very simple.
| Tax to the farmer his interest in the farm.
which, since the mortgage, is $1,000; and
tax the other half to the mortg gage for his
interest under the mortgage, and abolish
the taxation Of mortgages as Il part of his
personal estate. Now, why cannot the
present legislature take hold of this mat
ter and apply the remedy which both laW
and justice demand

note of alarm has already been sounded in
New York. In recent address Mr..
Charles f. Wingate, the well known saui-
tary engineer, declared that - per cent of
the mortality of New York is found in its
$4,000 tenements, and "wth cholera threat
ening us the question of tenement reform

poor" The condition of these tencments
is Il standing menace to the whole city and
II demand has gone out for the
condemnation of every building unfit for
IL human dwelling, the thorough removal
ton of structures which have been per-
mitted to become filthy, and the prohDi-
ton of the erection Of tencmcnts whose
plans of construction are not approved by
sanitary experts. The demand has taken
practical form. \ number of such repre-
sentative business firms and men as Win
slow, Lanier 4; Co., Wells Fargo & Co.,
Hatch 4; Foote and Joseph w. DreXel,
have united in the formation of Il SAM
tAry Protective League, whose members
will report all streets and houses that are
in a disease-breeding condition, and in
conjunction with all the existing sanitary
organizations they will investigate the
condition of all markets, milk depOts, and
sources of food supplies will issue tracts
on hygiene, bathing, treatment of cholera
and allied subjects, and i'll cases where
the board of health cannot act for lack of
money the means will be supplied by the
league. This is thoroughly practical, and
forms, indeed, the only feasible way of
avoiding the visit of the dreaded plague.

Another disgraceful chapter was added
to the record of Congress on the Indian
question, last Wednesday. In spite of
reused public interest and indignation,
this subject of the wrongs of the nation
ward seems to he us far from just settle
ment as ever. The introduction of any bill
in Congress, looking toward Il concession
to the Wrongcd party, is always the signal
for bitter and apparently determined and
successful opposition ON the part of. certain
factions in the House. The bill introduce
ed ON Wednesday was in effect to REIN
bursc the Creek nation for lands on their
reservation appropriated without rirhtful
authority by land spectators and settlers.
An objection was Immediately raised to
tne provision apprOpriating $4,000 for this
purpose, and an amendment proposed by
adding the prOViSo that no part of this
sum should be paid until the
Creek nation should make and file
an acceptance and ratification of the
treaty of lS6b, by which the Oklahama
lands We're coded to the United States.
Thc friends of the bill were very ready to
make this compromise. Let Congress
compromise this matter" said Mr.. Barnes
"
shed let this amendment be adopted and
the compromise made
The amendment was defeated on Il point
of order, and the discussion took the form
of IA warm and dIsgraCeful personal con
troversy between Mr.. Holman of Indiana
and Mr.. Ellis of Louisiana. Mr. Holman
judicially, but none the less pDintediy,
called Mr.. Ellis liar, and Mr. Ellis re
torted that he would permit no man to
| impugn his truth, there or elsewhere, and
| if anyone did ESQ he would hold him To his
responsibility. After this interesting debate
between the honorable gentlemen, the
matter of the Indian appropriation Dill
was dropped; :" as the report quietly and
