MASON CRY, Ia, June 10.-Judge John

PENDANTS, as agents of importers, could &C.
cupy the building for the purpose of sell
ing the beer in original packages
to all persons except minors and
habitual drunkards, and that such
use would not constitute nui-
sance though the beer was drunk on the
premises by the purchaser, and that the
sales, although shipped by the cases, were
sales in original packages. He granted q
temporary injunction restraining defend
ants from selling to minors and those in
the habit of being intoxicated.

Those Harvard Red Painters.

BOTTOM, June 10-There is a strong inn
preston among the Harvard students that
the sudden change of front in the me tier
of investigating the recent vandalism at
the college is due to the fact that the I'M
pleasant discovery has been made that the
culprits are found to be among the most
prominent students, and of the best lam
lilies The feeling is, therefore, that on
the eve of commencement, as an expo snre
would make bad matter worse, the
guilty ones will be quietly expelled from
college, and will as quietly leave Cam

fore the Senate-Nevada Men Demand
Free Coinage-Onicial Items.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 10.-The bill
introduced by Oates of Alabama to pro.
hibit aliens from acquiring title to or own
ing lands within the United States was re-
ported back to the house yesterday in
dorsed by favorable report from the
committee on Judiciary. Oates made the
report. In it he states that the power of
the government TO totally exclude aliens
from coming within its jurisdiction as
has been done in the case of the Chinese,
no one questions, and that the sovereign
power certainly includes the less one of
defining what property rights they may
exercise after they are admiBed and dur
ing the continuance of their alien condi-
ton.
Note of Warming Against LandlOrdism.
"Your committee have ascertained, with
reasonable certainty il is stated, "that
certain noblemen of Europe-principally
Englishmen-have acquired, and now
own, in the aggregate about 81 600, 900
acres of land within the United States.
This alien, non resident ownership will, in
the course of time, lead to system of
landlordism Incompatible with the best in
terests and free institutions of the United
States. The foundation of such a system
is being laid broadly in the western states
and territories A considerable number
of the immigrants annually arriving in
this country are TO become tenants aud
herdsmen on the vast possessions of these
foreign lords under contracts made and
entered into before they sail for our
shores"
Limits to Alien Ownership.
The report also refers to the large pur-
chases by European capitalists OF railroad
and land bonds. The committee recon-
mends an amendment to the bill allowing
aliens who come to this country with the
intention of becoming citizens to buy land
at once, and to acquire an inchoate title
thereto, which cannot ripen into perfect
title except when the alien perfects his
citizenship, and in case of his death his
heirs. being citizens, may inherit his lands.
Measure of Confiscation.
The bill also contains provision that all
now lands owned or hereafter acquired by
aliens who fail for ten years to become cit
liens of the United States, shall be subject
to be denounced and forfeited to the
United States. The committee states that
il believes that no harm will result on ac-
count OF keeping foreign capital from the
country. The census of 1880, it is stated
shows that the United States had $40, 900
tenant farmers
