Unconstitutionaiity Of alien Land laws.
Rural New Yorker
Several of the states, mainly under
pressure from the Agricultural Gle
ments, have already passed alien land
laws providing that no person not a
citizen of the United States shall ac-
quire title or own any interest in
| lands within their borders, and
and some of the laws further provide
that aliens who already hold land by
purchase, devise or descent shall close
out their interests in them within a
specified period-usually six years
Several states are contemplating the
enactment of similar laws. OF course
the clear meaning of such language
is not only that no aliens shall acquire
hereafter title to any lands within
the confines of the several states,
but also that no alien, not
even those who had already
bought or inherited lands in such
states, shall :ownn such property
after the period specified for disposing
of it. Such aliens, however, hold
deeds of the property either to
themselves and their heirs forever
or to their heirs and assignees for
ever" and it is held by many high
authorities that any legislation in
validating such deed is unconstitu-
tional, because it is directly violative
of the obligations of one of the few
contracts considered so sacred that a
formal acknowledgment and seal are
required to bind it, while the Federal
constitution expressly forbids all
legislation vioative Of the obligation
Of contracts. On this ground alone is
it maintained that the courts must de-
clare all laws of the kind un-
constitutional. Again, it is asserted
that the right of aliens to acquire and
hold property in the United States is
q matter within the exclusive iuris-
diction of the Federal government as
the only treaty-making power with
other nations. Indeed, the first treaty
with England provides that English
men had the right "to take and ac-
quire, hold and dispose of real and
personal property of every descrip-
ton, and to transmit title to land in
all respects as natural born subjects
Of the United States.n In the case or
Chivac VS.. Chivac the supreme court
of the United States held that treaty
with France giving her citizens the |
right to purchase and hold lands |
in the United States removed the in
capacity of alienage and placed them
in precisely the same position as if
they were citizens of this country
The same doctrine has been reaffirmed
by the court in a number of other
cases, while provisions giving aliens
he right to acquire and hold real
in this country are, we are
assured, embodied in a score of trea-

THAT LAND LOAN SCHEME.

AS a companion picture to the Aus
tin Iconoclast's logical disembowel-
ment of the subtreasury fallacy, which
appears elsewhere in this issue, THE
STATESMAN reproduces fromthe Farm
and Fireside the following pertinent
remarks anent the land loan scheme
political demagogues and financial eX-
perimentalists:
The malicious lying done by politi-
cal demagoguesa and calamity prophets
about mortgages has been exposed by
the census returns. Instead of 9,OOO,-
900 mortgages on land, with the en-
cumbrances amounting to more than
its value, as repeatedly asserted by
these enemies Of the people, the re-
turns show that there are about ., $50, :
600 homes and farms occupied by own
ers encumbered by mortgages. AS
there are about Il, 500, 600 families, less
than one-fourth live in encumbered
| homes.
Two billion five hundred and sixty
five million dollars is the total amount
of the mortagaged Indebtedness on
homes and farms, estimated to be
about one-third the value of property
encountered.
The census returns also show that
about tWO-thirds Of the total mort
gage Indebtedness represents pur-
chase money.
The lying will still go on, however.
1t is extremely popular with class
of people who are looking forward to
Il time when they can, under cover of
finance laws passed with the intent in
view, repudiate their honest debts.
wv
1t might be we'll to call the atten-
ton of the land-loan advocates who
are rallying against railroads to the
fact that under the land-lOan bill in
troduced in congress, railroads and all
other corporations owning land could
borrow money from the government
at two per cent as easy as the farm
owner. Not only that, but there are
provisions deity concealed in the bill
that would enable land-owning corpo-
rations to get the lions share of the
benefits. The fact that the Alliances
so generally approve of the Stanford
bill, shows how little they really
know about it.
~
WHEN it costs between and per
cent for the government to disburse
the pension fund, how is it possible
for the government to loan money on
"real estate and other ample securi-
ty" at per cent? Easy enough. By
raising enough to make up the de-
ticiency by extra taxation? No. Sim
ply by printing enough fiat money to
pay all the expenses.
With fiat money, there is no use of
the government collecting any rev.
enues at all. Taxation can be abol-
ished. Simply let the federal govern
ment print enough fiat money to pay
the salaries of it's office holders, and
all other expenses.

In the result Of tn election vesfer-
Say the republicans can reasonably
Congratulate thsm-e've@ on a victory
n having secured the mayor, treasurer
md one alderm M, three out Of the six
bfices to be filled. The only substsr-
ial victory OF the democrats was in
he election of Billiard rs alderman Of
ne second ward, which was secured
mainly through the fact that Ward the
republican candidate was comparative
ly unknown. Middleton owes his
Election to republican votes, as q e
night made on HIM by the lawlets els-
ment whom be has persistently prose
cuted, manufactured q sympathy and
support for him among the better clas ,
Of people that overcome party ties and
placed the republican candidate ct
n disadvantage. Arnold was
a sure winner from the start
and polled a most gratifying ma
jority in his own uasd, while doing a
little better than even IN the strong
hold of his opponent Lovett, the re-
public n candidate for police magis-
trate, entered the race against a very
popular opponent with no hope OF
winning, and made a creditable race.
His most sanRuine friends never
hoped for his election and are gratifed
N know that he did as we'll ss he did.
The race Tor mayor was very close; so

Turning two votes might nave won
|the day, but while the marc est fight of
the day was made on this Office, the
victory remains with tn republican
party, who foughk undo their own
name and on q platform = recognized
principles. Schwartz was beaten be-
cause it was not known what bis policy
would be as chief executive officer ofthe
pity and because 1t was feared he was 10
p certain extent compromised to the
Iawless element. In his defeat as well
hs IN Middleton's election, this feeling
was a strong factor snd one thoroughly
gratifying to the better class who ye.-

CHASE AFTER BURGLARS.
Six HOBBS Break Into . South Seattle
Barber Shop.

The barber shop Of Mike Kraus, near the
head of the bay, was broken into yesterday after
noon by six hobos while the proprietor was out,
and oil the tools besides lot OF cigars and
tobacco were stolen. Late last evening Sheriff
Woolery captured four of the gang about two
miles above Brsuns brewery, brought them to
the city and placed them in the county jail.
They gave their names as Frank Riley, John
Clark, C. Murray and James Ward.
At the time the shop was entered, Kraus, and
nearly every body else in the ighborhood, were
out watching the work of breaking up the jam
in the river At the bridge. The thieves gained
an entrance through the window, and just as
the ones who went inside were coming out they
were noticed by man who was passing by, and
he ordered them to deliver up their booty; but
instead OF complying they ran up the
railroad track. The man followed them
q short distance, but concluded to re-
turn and get help. He notified Kraus,
who swors out warrant before Justice Carson,
and Sheriff woolery happening along, be gave
the sheriff the warrant Sheriff Woolery and
Joseph Dohsnsy had a team and buggy, having
been out on other business, and they immedi-
atsly started In pursuit OF the thieves. The
sheriff took the team as far as Brauns brewery,
but could not get through any further by team,
so he tied the horses there and he and Dohe-
ney started on the run up the track. They
could hear the fugitives. running along tho
track Just ahead of them. but they had to chase
them fully two miles before they could over
haul them, and then two of the gang
had disappeared. They offered no resistance
when captured, aor they were completely
winded, though Sheriff woolery and Doheney
had but little advantage in this respect. for they
were almost ready to drop from exhaustion.
The sheriff says he feels sure that he will be
able to capture the other two today. He thinks
they are a gang of toughs who have been driven
out of the city by the police. One OF them has
but one arm. None of the goods were found on
those captured. kraus is the old barber who
used TO keep a shop on Yesler avenue and
