ALIEN LANDOWNERS IN AMERICA.
Evils of Trying the Rack Renting System
In This Country.

That English aristocrats should rule
large domains i'll tho United States and
rule them from London is at first diff
1icult thing to grasp. Not until it is
borno in mind that peers and peeresses
of Great Britain are large landed pro-
prietors i'll our country-Viscount Soul
ly alone owns 10000 600 acres in Illi-
nois, Iowa and Ncbraska-does the sig
nificance Of absenteeisnl in landlords
become apparent. But now the matter
will bo brought homo to Americans
moro directly than it has ever been
brought homo yet, for there is shortly
to be union i'll London of tho Amcri-
can landowning interests, and series
of drastic measures arc scheduled,
which, it is believed, will not only in
crease the annual rentals of the vast do
main involved, but which will greatly
affect the destiny of the hundreds of
thousands who dwell upon it.
For some time past it has been cvi-
dent to the foreign landowners that
concerted action OH their part was essen
tial to their interests. 1t is we'll known
to those who have ever casually looked
into tho matter that foreign landown-
ing has much impedcd the development
of tho western commollwealths. These
great landowners positively refuse to
sell. They prefer to establish system
Of agencies and bailiffs, with tho result
that very serious complications havo re.
suited. The state legislatures have done
their best to deal with the question,
but heretofore with only Indifferent sue
cess Viscount Scully is, rightly or
wrongly, made the scapegoat of this
whole business. Flo has for years been
n thorn in the path of one state admin
istration after another, and his shrewd-
ness in evading every provision of law
directed against him has extortod the
admiration Of thousands. Thus Scully
