TO TEST THE LAW.
Illinois Alien Landlord Act as q
Base of Action.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Attorney James
Goggin SAID tonight that he had been
retail ned by Canadian relatives Of
Millionaire John l.. Dubreil, of this
city, to test the constitutionality
OF the celebrated Illinois statute
which was enacted in 1887 to rid the
state of alien landlords, particularly
Scully, the Irish capitalist, who had in
troduced into Illinois all the rack-rent
usages of Ireland. Dubreil was an
American citizen, but his nephew and
niece, the contestants, are not, and
the widow of the dead million
aire seeks to deprive them of
heirship, pleading the alien land act as
the basis OF her action. This case will
be the first test of the noted enactment,
and the result will affect the tenure of
many farms, besides possibly cutting a
figure in politics on account of the
prominence given the subject of alien
ownership in the Farmers Alliance
platform.

An Object Lesson.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Porter's paper, the New York Press,
is telling as many fairy stories about
the tariff as its editor told about the
census, But here is one that it can put
in its pipe and smoke:
We have no tin worth speaking of in
this country, but we have grand sup
plies of lead. 1t costs a good deal to
move American pig lead to Canada.
But, in consequence Of your idiotic
tariff, American pig lead costs the con
sumner in this country $4.40@4.45, while
it can be bought in Montreal at 5000
3.75. Funny, is it not?

Money is q drug in New York" he con-
tinued. but capitalists will not buy stocks
or bonds. In my opinion they are afraid of
the present congress, evidently thinking that
money is worth more than any investment in
this line. They are afraid of the free silver
men forcing through a bill embodying this
idea. l do not feel so myself, for a two
thirds majority in the senate can hardly be
secured for it, and / feel sure President Har-
risOn will veto such a measure. Under these
circumstances, with the splendid, and l may
say unparalleled, crops now being harvested, l
can see no reason why the country should
not be prosperous. The demand, abroad
will be great and the prices correspondIngly
good, while our surplus will be large. The
situation, it seems TO me, is peculiar, and, as
say, is probably due to a fear that the pres
ent congress willie do something rash on the

CHATS IN CORRIDORS.

The handsome private car of the junior
senator from Ohio, Hon. Cal S. Brice, rolled
into the St Paul Union depot last evening,
bringing with it George 1. Seney, the we'll
known tinancier and philanthropist of New

Canadian Pacific and 500 South Shore lines
to Duluth. and from the latter point over
the Eastern Minnesota to St. Paul. He is ac-

and several friends. The party will leave to-

Pacific routes for Vancouver. Seattle, Ia

back East over the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Seney is a MISUNDERSTANDING gen.
tleman, with full iron-gray beard, and the
most kindly and ~good-natured countenance
olfe ever gazed upon. He is about sixty-fve
years Of age, and is now enjoying the second
pastime he has made III his very active bust
ness career. He began life as paying teller
in the Metropolitan Bank of New York in
1917, and rose from place to place until he
became president of the institution. While
in this position he was connected with the
building of some of the most important rail-
road lines in the country. notably the Omaha

a large part of which he has since regained.
His gifts to benevolent and educational in
stitutions have been on a scale of liberality
almost unknown, footing up at least 81, $780,
900. To the Methodist general hospital of

men among. whom were Col. E. f. Drake,

governor; A.. H. Wilder and Horace Thomp-
son. They we're all splendid busideSs men,

erty on top. A few years later | disposed of
my interests, and have since seen these gen
tlemen only at rare intervals. The Omaha,
as it is now called. has become a fine
road as 1 felt sure it would. When l was in
terested in it the grasshoppers came along
and destroyed everything, which served to
deter settlers from filling up and developing
the country. This scare soon passed over,
and l have been informed that the land
grant of the company is now largely in the
hands of actual settlers"

Looking Forward.

A shrewd business man of st.
Johnsbury recently estimated that
our people had lost a quarter of a
million dollars in the last ten years
from poor investments in the South
and West. There is no means of
testing the accuracy of these figures
though we do not believe they are too
large. Yet deprived of all this CAPT
tai let US see what st. Johnsbury has
done in the last decade. Her popu-
lation has increased 40; her grand
list one-third or SIG, 6,054, and there
has been a proportionate increase in
manufacturing and mercantile lines.
Real estate has also advanced and
will continue to do so. What more
might have been accomplished if this
money which has been lost, to say
nothing of the hundreds Of thousands
of dollars which returned profitable
dividends, had been used to develop
St. Johnsbury. 1t is useless to cry
over split milk but it is not too late
to mend our ways and try and build
up the interests of St. Johnsbury.
This is what our Board of Trade are
going to do but they can not do it
alone. They need the cooperation
of every man in town. Let us pull
together and make st. Johnsbury the
biggest town in Vermont. 1t can be
done. -CdIedOninn.
