Alien Holders OF Public Land.

Representative paysou, of Illinois, has pre-.
pared report on the bill to prevent aliens
from acquiring real estate In the territories OF
the United States. The report says the bill has
for its basis the proposition that American soil
shall be owned by Americans, so far as Con-
gress can control IL. The commit'cc on public
lands in this Congress, rs IN the last, Is thor
Oughly committed to the policy of so admins
tering our public land system that the agricul.
turnl lands of the ration shall he parted with,
without cost, to be held in small tracts, by
actual settlers Only, for the purposes OF cultivn
ton by the owner, securing thereby the Thrift
Ofthc citizen and economy In hi management
which ownerghip always stimulates. This pol.
icy, the report submits, should become the ma
tiOnal one.
The experience OF 50 many thousands of our
people In the securing Of homes on our vast
area OF public lands has been SO successful
that the desire fnr ownership of n home Capn-
bic OF producing support for tho family Is more
universal here than I'm auy country In the
world. This the report says, was the prevalent
idCU when the homestead law, one of the most
benehcCnt acts ever passed by Congress, was
passed. II was the duty of the government to
Punish to It's people cheap homes; to aid the
actual settler whose labor would make the
land fruitful and productive giving added
wealth to the locality and stability and strength
TO the country. 10 had magnificent possession
In the public domain of that time, which under
proTcrmanagcmcn would have afforded grand
results,iOr generations to come.

No CoNGRGss that ever assembled in time

for usefulness as were in possession Of the
torty,nnth Congress when the present scs-
