NONRESIDENT Ownership.
New Orleans Now Delta.l

New Orleans New Delta.l
There is looming up ahead of this
country danger that few are appre.
bending at present but which we re-
gard as one that is most threatening
to the welfare of our people. We
refer to the ownership of the soil by
non residents, and this term includes
both alien owners and citizens who
reside abroad and spend in foreign
countries the fruits of their owner
ship. All sections suffer from it alike,
Norlh and South, city and country
We constantly read of brutal evietions
in the great agricultural States of the
Northwest, in which the Irish horrors
are equaled if not outdone, and here
in the city of New Orleans We are
suffering in some portions of the city
from dry rot superinduced by this
foreign ownership.
This is an evil whose ravages are
insidious and of slow approach. It
grows gradually and by degrees, and
so little is to day added to the burden
Of yesterday that from day to day the
difference is scarcely felt. But in the
aggregate the evil is beginning to
assume tremendous proportions.
The misery of Ireland from this
cause is not the result of a few days
or months or years, but is the aggre-
cation Of centuries of this evil. And
America is beginning to travel the
same stages. And as the present re-
suits in Ireland followed this cause;
so surely viii the same results follow
in this country from the same cause.
In the country we see the result in
the grown up fields and neglected
Improvements, in the city rotting
houses and an air of general decay
and dilapidation are the evidence oft.
The farmers of the country have
struck the key note of the trouble
and their demand for Congressional
action in regard to alien ownership of
land goes to the root of the evil. The
mechanics and laboring men of the
city should join them in this demand.
1t bears upon them all alike. And a
long pull and strong pull and a pull
altogether will obtain this much
needed national legislation. Let us
have it.

A Short, Sighted Policy.

A great writer has said: "Avarice
and injustice are always short-sight-
ed" and the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany has furnished a notable instance
of this truth. If their greed had not
blinded their mental vision and warp
ed their judgement; if "increase of
appetite had (not) grown by whatit
fed on" they would have realized
that to get an extension of their
charter would be impossible, because
the attempt would arouse and organ
iZe opposition that was Gliding its
time and that the discussion of the
question would attract the attention
of the whole country to the Upas
tree of moral and political death that
had been allowed to exist among US
so long. They should have gone on
reaping their golden harvest until
their charter expired, thankful if
they were allowed to do so, and then
wound up their games and cleft
their country's good;" unless, indeed,
they were satisfied to remain with US
and engage in more legitimate and
less profitable business.
Instead ofpursuing this course, which
well-regulated selfishness should have
dictated, they have precipitated
bitter and unrelenting war from
without as well as within that will
not stop short of determination. The
mails will be closed to them, or if by
tactics and means that have so often
succreded in the past they can delay
the enforcement of the law now be-
fore Congress, the coup de grace will
soon be given by an amendment to
the constitution prohibiting lotteries
in all the States and abolishing those
now in existence.-N. D. Nee0 Delta.
