ALIEN OWNERS.

Now comes proposition to allow the
alien ownership of unpatented mines.
Perhaps it is well enough to make the
policy Of the government in this matter
uniform with its policy in regard to other
lands. But in our view the whole scheme
of dealing with aliens is wrong. The
Government is liberal enough in its terms
of naturalization. No society which pre-
tends to protect its own interests could
be more so. In the judgment of many
the terms of naturalization are all too
eesy.sThis being the case why should one
who docs not even desire to become a
citizen, be allowed to become landlord?
1t is said that foreign capital is doing
wonders in the development Of mines,
and wants to do yet more. To this it
may truly be replied that the develop
ment of the country is going on fast
enough now. 1t is so rapid that though
it may be represented by few dry
figures, yet really thee mid of man can
hardly grasp the true ideaof the enormous
growth. 1t has been said and reported

THE FREE SUGAR PROPOSITION.
What Members of the Ways and Means
Committee Say of MIR. Blaine's Plan.

Some OF the republicans of the House who
are displeased at Mr.. Blaine because of his
suggestions as to reciprocity with Spanish
the ways and means committee fairly
They say that he never said anything to that
committee about any prospect. hope or
even idea Of reciprocity with Cuba, but
spoke only OF the Argentine Repub-
lie. The Argentine Republic, they say,
produces but about one-eleventh part
of the sugar we consume. and free sugar from
there only would be like free sugar from the
Sandwich Islands-it would benefit only a few
persons who bought up the crop and give no
cheaper sugar to the consumers.
The committee, they say, did not take kindly
to this proposition, though they might have
thought differently of reciprocity plan that
of duty. But not, they claim. until
after the bill had passed the House and been
reported by the finance committee to the SEN
ate did he say anything about trade on sugar
affecting Cuba.
FREE WOOL AS WELL As FREE SUGAR.
"The logic of reciprocity with the Spanish
American states as to sugar is reciprocity as to
wool" said prominent republican Represent
ative to STAR reporter.
What Mr.. Blaine wants is to get free mar
ket in the southern republics for the cotton
manufacturers Of New England in exchange for
the free admission OF their wool into this
country. New England would get tine benefit
OF both sides Of this trade. The free
admission of wool would give free raw mate
rial to New England manufacturers as well as
open the SpanIsb-American markets to the cot
ton manufacturers. 1t is this more than sugar
that interests MIR. Rlaine.n

TELEGRAPH LITIGATION.
Suit to Set Aside the Northern Pacific's
Telegraph Lease.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July pa bill in equity
was yesterday filed in the US. circuit court
against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
Western Union Telegraph Company and the
Northwestern Telegraph Company setting
forth that the defendant corporations have
failed TO carry out the provisions OF the acts OF
Congress OF July 2, 1854 and April 10. 1869. in
which the railroad company was granted yslu-
able concessions from the United States in
lands to the amount of twenty alternate seq
tions through any state One of the provis-
ions Of the act was that the railroad should
erect and maintain a telegraph system. Subse-
quently the Northern Pacific made contracts
with the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and the complaint alleges that the contracts
were beyond the powers of the railroad TO
make or the telegraph companies to receive
and were induced by improper and corrupt
considerations, and were against public policy
and in violation Of the rights OF the United
States under acts of Congress. The court is,
therefore, asked TO annul the contracts. The
complaint is signed by Attorney General

THE BLAINE PROGRAM.
What is Said of the Presidents Position
I'm Regard to It.

The paragraph published this morning in
New York newspaper to the effect that the
President is preparing to send to Congress an
unequivocal Endorsement of the Blaine re-
ciprocity proposition is received with some
grains Of allowance in congressional circles.
The more likely statement of the case is
thought to be that he is thinking of
strengthening in some open way the Pierce
amendment to the tariff bill, to which refer
ence has already been made in The STAR. He
is known to be in sympathy with the object OF
that amendment. and to desire its adoption by
Congress. An objection made to the Blaine
program in .lts entirety ls that it designs
admitting Australian wool free into this
country. That. the wool men in Ohio and
elsewhere declare. would completely destroy the
wool industry in this country, and wool, unlike
sugar, has many friends in states necessary to
republican success.
The President, therefore, halts at wool. He
feels, it is said, that the loss Of Ohio in the
coming campaign would be blow from which
his party would have difficulty in recovering
in time for the national campaign in 1892 and
that any policy even squirting at free wool
would 30 result to the party there he has assur-
ances from many sources.
In fact, the explanation now given OF Mr.
McKinley's opposition to the Blaine program is
that he saw that it embodied free woolNa pro-
gram upon which he, as an Ohio Representa-
tive, could not afford to stand for single
moment of time,
