ALIEN OWNERSHIP.

There can be no objections to for
eigners VIII buy SIN Ill quantities of
land with the expectation Of becoming
good and loyal citizens. But foreign
capitalists must be bel in check.
In America aliens own about 1852,
900, 900 acres Of our land in fee simple.
They own other mortgaged indebted
ness of our people to the extent of 50,
600. 600. 900. At least, the income of
this land cannot be less than SIS, 600,
600; the interest on the other indebted
ness aggregate $3.50. 600, 600, making in
all $165, OOO, 900, and all this must be
paid in gold. The gold productions of
our mines in 1890 was $32, S45, 600, or
1892, 1855. 600 less than enough to pay
our interest account.
If nothing else was wrong this would
eventually ruin what ought to be the
best country on earth.
THE JUVENILE ~REFORMATORY.
The Concord STANDARD is agitating
the question of some kind Of q reform
school for boys who commit crime.
There is a good deal of sound sense in
it's argument and we trust that some
action will be taken in the matter
when the next legislature meets. 1t is
certain that it does a boy no good to
imprisOn him. 4 first class thrashing
sometimes works wonders. But this
only should be done by parents, We
have no objection to adult thieves,
wife beaters and thelike being whipped
at a whipping pOst-in fact they ought
to be-but in cases of malicious mis-
chief OrrOguery, boys might be whipped
by their parents and saved from lead
ing the life of a criminal. But a re
formatOry school properly conducted
might result in much good. Certainly
it would be much better to place
young criminals in such a place than
to confine them in the p~enitentiary
with several hundred old and hardened
criminals to learn more of the wicked
ness of this world.

TO o COTTON.

1t is stated that the Greenvillp. 5 c..
County Alliance has decided to store a
large portion Of their cotton crop.
They have made arrangements with
local banks to advance 50 per cent. Of
the present value at 1 per cent per
month. The storage for the first fifteen
days will be free. The total cost of
storage and insurance per month will
not exceed % cents per bale.
This is rather a costly way to hold
cotton when compared with the Sub
Treasury, but with a short crop and
April futures already higher than for
the present month, it doubtless will be
safe if a large number of farmers will
make similar arrangements Bu1 with
out unity of action it will avail but
little. However, it should be tried. If
we make but little, nothing will be
lost. 1t is certainly suicidal tos-N all
of this crop at the present prices Let

California never does things bv
halves. With its characteristic prompt
ness and self assertion, her sturdy yeO
men came at once to the point when
they met in their State Alliance. The
very fist act of that body, after its
organization, was to adopt the follow
ing resolution, unanimously:
Re8OlUed. That the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union in convention as
sambled hereby emphatically endorse
the Ocala demands without reserve,
especially emphasizing the sub Treas
ury and railroad planks of that plat
form.
ReSOIUed, That State President Can,
non be requested to telegraph this
action to the State conventions Of
our Order now in session i'll Florida,
Colorado and Kansas with our fra
ternal greeting.
Thus far, every State Alliance has
passed similar resolutions and thus the
predictions and hope of u enemies
are being answered. The people are
thinking and acting for themselves.
