ALIEN OWNERSHIP OF LAND.


Last week the wires told of the report
ing to the House of Representatives by its
committee on judiciary, of bill to prohibit
the ownership Of land by aliens. In it's re-
port the committee set out that foreigners
held the title to many millions acres of
land within the United States; that these
owners resided abroad and drew revenue
lions of dollars year; in one case a sub
ject of the Queen of Grea. Bri-
tain and reriding under the English
flag, owns 10000 acres OF land lin
Illinois from which he receives an
annual rental of 100000. Other instances
were cited, and it was also mentioned that
foreigners held millions of interest bearing
bonds secured by American lands.
Undoubtedly alien ownership of land is a
great evil, and growing one. In sense
it is weakening to the nation, first in so
far as it deprives the country of the benefit
of it's own resources and products, and sec
ond, in that it cheats the nation of the
sympathy and support which belong to it.
Every true American must be in sympa-
thy with any movement looking to the
restriction Of land ownership within the
confines of the republic to bona fide citi-
zens, if not to actual residents.
And yet, we fail to see how Congress can
legislate on this subject. The matter, il
seems to US, is one exclusively for the
respective states to regulate. Such powers
as have not been surrendered to Congress
and the federal government expressly, arc
retained by the states, and it cannot be
found where the power to limit land
ownership has been conferred upon Con
gress. Congress can restrict in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories, but
not in states. The committee justifes its
bill by saying that the right to exclude
aliens from our shores, as has beer
done in the case of the Chinese, implies the
right to deny to foreigners the right t.
own land. The logic is not good. The
right to regulate and control immigration
necessarily lies with the central govern
ment, and this power is also implied in the
constitution; but the regulation of lani
ownership is an entirely different matter
Illinois can say that only citizens of the
state shall hold title to real estate, ant
Congress can not reverse this an6
enact otherwise. In other word;
states are sovereign within their iuris

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.

II seems that THE HERALD was some
what mistaken in its statements concern
ing West Point. The graduates from that
institution average about fifty per year
and it is said they do not suffice to fill the
vacancies that occur in the regular army,
1t appears that about ten civilians and as
many more sergeants each year are COM
missioned as second lieutenants upon
passing a satisfactory competitive exami-
nation. There are, 1t is true, number of
additional second heutenants appointed
upon the graduation of each class, who re-
main at that grade, not on waiting orders.
but on active duty, as we said, until a
vacancy occurs for them, usually within
two or three months after graduation.
General ScoTT has paid his tribute to the
influence of West Pointers on the success
full and speedy termination of the war
with Mexico; while it is matter of
common knowledge that very many of the
great leaders on both sides in the civil war
were graduates of the school on the Hud-
son. GRANT, SHERMAN, SHERIDAN. HAN
COCK, THOMAS, MEADE, HOOKER, ScHo-
FIELD, HOWARD, LEE, SToNEwALL JACK
son, albert SIDNEY JOHNSTON. and many
others on each side held the diplomas OF
the United States military academy.
We had and have no desire to detract
from the excellent record of the lnstitu-
ton, or to question the thoroughness of its

CROOKEDNEsS CHARGED.

Unless the Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Republic has been misled or is
an out and out falsiier and slanderer, the
pension bureau is much more corruptly
managed than during the days of Corporal
TANNER when favoritism was practiced as
never before in the history of the govern
nent Either General RAuM should be
bounced with greater emphasis than was
given when the incompetent crank TANNER
was kicked out, or the Republics man
should be made to answer for grossly
slandering an official The correspondent
seems TO know what he is talking about,
and he not only does not hesitate to speak
plainly, but goes into details with courage
that is amazing if he is stating untruths
Among other things he says:

not really been dissolved, and General RAUM is

Of the appointment division in the Office and in
stead of ordering the making of special cases it
is his custom 10 drop around and lay a paper on
mans desk, nod significantly at it and 20 on.
This is all he has to do. The paper is the record
in pension case in which son JOHN Is inter

Another and even more serious allegation

the clerks in the pension bureau on

TIE MEXICAN DEMAND.

1t transpires that notwithstanding the
denials Mexico has really asked the
United States to punish tn men who
have been scheming for that neck of
country known as Lower California. Mex
leo does not esteem it as exactly proper
that American citizens should plot against
the peace and good order of The sister re-
public, and is equally certain that it is not
right for the United States to protect from
just punishment the plotters. Just what
reply Secretary BLAINE will make cannot
be foretold, but it will be reasonably safe
guess that he will not cause the arrest OF
the filibusters. 1t wouldn't do to arrest
them. There would be danger in it. Were
he to punish the half dozen fellows who
plotted to detach the peninsula and in de-
lance of Mexican army aud navy swing
the strip of sand and mountains around
alongside the United States, precedent
would be established that could not fail to
be Immediately and immensely troublesome.
Next the Car would come along with a
demand that we cease to harbor the
creatures who are plotting not only against
the peace and order of his empire, but
against his life as well. Germany would
request that the Socialists from fatherland
who conduct, from this side, an annoying
agitation against the Emperor's govern
ment be punished, Great Britain would call
upon Uncle SAM to take up an earnest and
rigorous labor with the hundreds and thou
sands of Irishmen and their friends who
reside in the United States while they plot
and execute against the peace and quiet of
England. In fact, to accede to Mexico's
demand would be to invite most of the
great powers to make similar demands on
US, as within the borders of the United
States will be found plotters against about
all the coun tries worth plotting against
Mr.. BLAINE is shrewd enough to discover
the far-reaching effect of a compliance with
Mexico's request, and while he may reply
in way that will not offend DIAz, it is
pretty certain that he would rather give
offense than yield to the Mexican demand

GOVERNMENT BY THOMAS, OF THOMAS
AND DECIDEDLY FOR THOMAS.

1t is difficult to understand by what hyp-
aotic influences the Tribune has been able
to lull the Liberals into silence and appar-
ent acquiescence concerning Governor
THOMAS little scheme to proclaim himself
dictator.
1t is not difficult to understand why the
organ favors the bill, if what we hear car
rently rumored on the streets is true, that
Governor THOMAS is large stockholder in
the concern and one of the controllers of
its policy But while the fact affords
satisfactory explanation of the position of
the paper, it does not furnish sufficient
motive for the silence Of the Liberal rank
and file.
The Liberals are hopefully claiming this
county at the August election; Weber is
also expected to fall into line; Box Elder
is announced as a Liberal county within
two years; Summit is already theirs;
PowEKs has been down TO Sanpete, and in
several other counties the prospect is so
hopeful that the Liberal chairman has
proclaimed the possibility of ais leading
that party to territorial victory in the APP
preaching election.
With all these things, accomplished and
hoped for; just as our frieads are about to
reach cut and gather in the persimmons; at
the tine when the hopes of years are
being realized, and the Peoples party is
about to be showed under by its political OPP
ponents, the Liberals seem to be willing to
sit idly by and permit his excellency, the
governor, to reap all the advantages of the
situation.
Gentlemen, are you aware that there is a
= sbllS 4, sfnre Congress, under the powerful
backing of Senator EDMUNDs that places in
the hands of the governor and the Utah
commission the power to appoint nearly
every county officer provided for by law; a
bill that will elevate THOMAS into dicta-
tatorship, for he now has the exclusive
power of nominating all territorial officers
and the unheard-of right of absolute veto
on the acts of the legislature, and promote
the commission into sort of privy coun-
Gil. with Colonel GODFREY as the lord high
privy councilor9
We are free to confess that we don't
favor the measure; if the People remain in
power, of course, we desire them to exer-
ClSC TtDuDllCdn
to-be inherent right TO select their own
officers; and wherever the Liberals &C
honestly into power, we should prefer tc
see men of the people, elected by the PEG
pie to administer public affairs for the
people, in public Office, than to see the APP
pointees, perhaps, occasionally or often
the tools, of the governor there. Such al
anomalous condition of affairs would BIZ
government by THOMAS, Of THOMAS and,
decidedly for Thomas.
We confess ourselves unable to understand
the silence along the Liberal lines; it must
be that they prefer that the governor shal
have his men IN Office in Willard, Piute o.
Emery county, than that they should hav,
their own men in Office in Salt Lake
Weber, Summit or the other counties
claimed or won.

TO EVERYBODY

We declare the letters and posters which
nave been sent out by the Mccormick Harvest
ing Machine Co. and circulated by the Console
dated Implement Co., to be utterly false in
every particular.
Mccormick has served no notice on the man
ufacturers of the Whiteley Machines, and the
Whiteley in no way infringes any part of the
Mccormick but on the contrary, il people will
look at the Mccormick Harvester as made in
1889. and the one they offer this year, they will
see at glance that they have abandoned the
large gears and the sway bar drive for the
sickle and stolen from us the Chain Drive and
tho End Drive for their Pitman which we have
used since 1898, and they will be called to ac-
count for the same to Whiteley for the infringe
mentS they are making on our machine
We have affdavits dated March 3d. 4th and
Sth last, proving beyond doubt that the Nc
Cormick outfit employed one OF their men TO
burglarize the Whiteley shop and stole certain
parts of the Whiteley Machine We further
agree 10 guarantee in writing TO defend ali pur-
chasers of either the Whiteley Mower or Binder
against any and all suits that will ever be-
brought by Mccormick. y
We GenounCe the unprincipled lOw-down
scheme as a lie and without the shadow of a
foundation. 1t is on level with the lies eircu-
lated by the same Utah parties in 1888 and 1850
that no more Champion repairs could be had
as the company had busted, etc. This last lie
comes from exactly the same source.
We have not only the most complete stock OF
repairs in Utah, but the Best Pairs of Machines
on Earth. Call on us AT Salt Lake city Ogden
or at the nearest agency, and examine them
carefully.

iondisct as to all matters the
powers of which have not been distinctly
delegated to the United States, and the as
sumption of the contrary doctrine by Con-
gress would be resisted, not merely by one
state or states of any section, but by every
state in the union.
There is another feature of the judiciary
committees bill which is illogical, irregular
and probably unconstitutional. 1t is the
provision which proposes to compel alien
land owners to cease to be such or become
citizens of the United States within ten
years. The committee asserts that the bill
is not retroactive, yet it contains this
clause, which is not only retroactive but
directly violative of contracts. The provi-
sion would be very apt to involve US in
trouble with friendly nations that would
not quietly submit to the coercion or rob-
berg of their subjects.

daughters future. She wants her to know

in one of our English cotemporaries de-
scribes the best method of filling lar. and
in doing it suggests the preparation of the
rose stock should be detailed to the care

Gather the rose petals in the morning
let them stand in cool place, toss them IN
lightly for an hour to dry; then put them
in layers with salt sprinkled between each
layer, in a large covered dish-a glass but

can add to this for several mornings. tilI
you have enough stock-from one pint to a
quart, according to the size of the lar: stir
every morning, and let the whole stand for
ten days Then transfer it to a glass

placed two ounces of allspice coarsely

permanent jar, which may be as pretty as
your ingenuity can devise or your means

the best, and very pretty ones in the blue

can be bought for a few shillings.
Have ready one ounce each of cloves.
allspice, cinnamon, and mace, all ground

and shreaded; two ounces of lavender
flowers, and small quantity of any other
sweet scented dried flowers or herbs. Mix
together, and put into the rose jar in alter
nate layers with the rose stock, and few
drops of oil of rose, geranium, or violet
