Mr. Phillips Views.

Editor OF the Gazette.
SIR am in receipt of your favor OF
August %, 1891, asking my opinion of the
alien land law. 1t is your right to ask and
mine TO answer also, TO give reason for the
vote | cast for said law.
When elected to the state legislature l
wanted to learn what duty should be called
upon to perform, also 10 know what the
duty was 10 be performed. Il found they
were simple things. That great statesman.
w. L. Gladstone says that the business of a
legislative body IS just 10 register the will
of the people and make it law.
We need as citizens eternal vigilance to
see that the land of the people is guarded,
and by no law of common equity can the
property of the many be taken and given to
the few. This has been done. The history of
our land grants has been history OF
frauds, and ever recurring healing acts 10
legalize and validate titles obtained by
fraud. This has been done while the people
slept. Our faithless servants has taken
lands. the property of the state which
should be sacredly preserved to the latest
generation for our landlesS, homeless peo-
pie, and given them TO individuals SAYING,
here, this wealth OF opportunity is yours !;
the uncounted millions OF the future shall
be your slaves and vassais: you shall tax
their industry; you shall take toll from
their wheat and corn; you shall hold the
prophesy of the future; the increasing
wealth of the coming years you shall sell
for your own enrichment. But the people
have awakened, and like giant refreshed
with sleep, will overturn and upset the
schemes Of mice and men.
/ do not wonder that there is the stirring
of revolt. The people. especially the
farming class, are seeing the building up of
great landed estates, with an anger that
will not long be silent, that the common
people by law, if possible, by force if need
be, will overturn the unjust privileges that
have been granted to the few and bring
back to the peoples hands that which they
have thoughtlessly surrendered or have
been dispoiled Of by violence or deceit.

There is an opal which comes from Aus

tongues of fire shoot out from unexpected

chiefly from Hungary. The Australian
