KANSAS ALIEN LAW.
II the Present One Is Declared Void More
Stringent One Win Be Enacted.

II the Present One Is Declared Void a More
Stringent One Will Be Enacted.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. GA promi.
nent populist politician who stands
close to Gov. Leedy and the party lead
ers, said:
If it turns out that the alien land law which
went through both branches of the Kansas
legislature in 1859 and signed by the gov
crnor was notlegally enacted. it will not be long
after the approaching session convenes until
stringent alien land law will be on the statute
books. The recent controversy over the Santa
Fe receiver case. which was instituted under
the 1889 law, has caused the people of Kansas
to thoroughly discuss this measure There
will be little opposition to it, and the pro-
visions of the bill will be closely scrutiniZed
before it is sent to the governor for signature.
The people of Kansas are not DESTROYS of
Gripping the Santa Fe or other railroad cor
porations whose stock may be held by foreign
stockholders. but they do want to compel such
men as William Scully and J. P. Wiser, the
big Canadian distiller, who own large tracts OF
land in Kansas, to divide them up into small
tracts and sell them to farmers who would like
to buy homes in this state. It is estimated
that Scully, the big Irish land owner. is the
possessor of more than 60 900 acres of fine lands
in this state

GRosvENoR OPPOSES
Re sage EmphaticalIy, Let the DinGiey
Bill Alone.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. "a The Com
nercial Tribune will print tomorrow a
long article signed by General Gros-
venor congressman from the Eleventh
Ohio district in which he outlines his
views as to the policy of the Republican
party. He says in the outset that he eX-
presses his own views and does not I'M
dertake to represent any other member
OF the party than himself. Furthermore,
he does not even consent to bind himself
to these views should the majority Of
his Republican associates on the ways
and means committee dissent from them.
He says:
1.-The question of the hour, it seems to
me, so far as relates to economic legis-
lation, is, Ought the Fifty-fourth con-
gress in it's closing session to pass the
Dingley bill, or should that measure be
allowed to perish and the Republican
party move forward to the discharge Of
the high duty imposed upon it by the re-
cent election?''
On these questions General Grosvenor
takes the position, that although it
might be well if the Dingley bill could
be passed for temporary relief and be
followed, Immediately after the fourth
of March in an extra session of congress,
by the passage of a proper permanent
measure, yet the passage of that tenta-
tive bill will hinder and obstruct the
passage of a proper measure, and there
fore it should not be attempted He crit
icizes the Dingley bill for proposed I'D
valorem duties, which have proven
standing invitations to defraud the gov
eminent. This was one great defect Of
the Wilson bill. and it should be remedied
in future legislation.
Another reason for the defeat OF the
Dingley bill is that It does not meet the
requirements of the 50. I-oufs platform
as protective measure. He says every
Republican member Of the ways ard
means committee has been reelected,
and these members during he time
which is to elapse between the first mon
day in December and the 18th uf March,
can formulate tariff bill predicated up
on the principles Of the Mckinley bill,
with schedules adapted to existing cor
ditions, perfected and ready for passage
within ten days after the meeting of an
extra session of congress. and then, If
there is patriotism and Repuhl;ca .iism
enough in the senate. it can ne passed
into a law and be ready for enforcement
by the first Of May"
On the other hand. should the Dingley
bill be passed, founded as Z IS upon er-
rors that are organic and incurable, then
let it run till December, 1897, and let Gill
gress organize. appoint committees en-
counter the delay of the HOLIDAYS, attack
a mass of incidental legislation ana set
about enacting a Dcru 3.e1t tariff.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 23.-For some
time a number of Kansas co-operators
have had under consideration the ques-
ton of organizing an industrial enter

adopted by those enterprises which
have proved successful. Among the
leaders of the movement are Chair

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 23.-The election
