FOHKIGN LAND Git AIM KM
The question of foreign ownership
lands In the United Stales is attract !
considerable attention not only at t
hands of congress and politi" l convc
tlon , bnt the people generally. The
hasfjrown up a strong sentiment ngair
the system of absent landlordism , whi
is to bo established in this country , n :
become a threatening danger. Now
tlm time to nip the evil in the bud. T
ownership cf lamia in this country shoti
bo dependent on citizenship , and t
plank in the republican national platfoi
covering this subject ia very timely ,
it is in response to a popular demand.
Congressman Lore , of Dolawai
recently submitted to the house n ntal

as ho was able to ascertain their holding
While the list is incomplete it shows th
20,747,000 acres hold by aliens and no
residents. In Now Mexico the Ilollii
land company owns -I 500,000 acrca ;
Texas an English syndicate owns 8,00 (
000 acres ; in Florida an English sync
cata has 2,000,000 acres ; in Mississip
another English company has 1,800,01

1,300,000 acres , and a Gorman syi

largo foreign land holders ai
Lord Dumnoro , Lord Iloughton , Lei
Dunravon , Marquis do Mores , and a hoi
of other foreigners whoso lands are i
Dakota , Nebraska , Wyoming , Kanani
Colorado , Utah and Montana. Most c
the alien land owners never intend to in

but use them either for immense cattl
ranches , or hold them forspcculativopui

Thorn haa boon considerable said fret
time to time concerning Mr. Blaino's roll
31011 , and just now the subject is ono c
particular interest to the pooplo. It ha
aeun believed by many that ho is a Catli

that his mother was a Catholic , but th
family waa brought up as Protostanta
Blaino's ancestors , on bis father's aide

is a Oongrogationalist.

The plank in the republican platfoi
denouncing the foreign acquisition

satisfactory to Irish Americana in gonoi
and Mr. Sullivan 'in particular , but

of history that Senator Van Wyck is t

WHS't Of TllK MISSOURI.
The Nebraska Central railroad has boi
revitalized and there now appears roaso
able ground for the belief that the roi
will bo built. The English c pitali
whoso movements have boon very myst
rious , have subscribed for the entire glf
000,000 stock and deposited 10 per co
of the amount in ch'h. This moat
business from the beginning. As long
three wooka ago THK BIE had very poi
tivo information that the construction
the first 100 miles had been lot and th
work would begin aa soon as the subscri
to the stock had been made. The co
atruction of thin road will bo second to i
other event in the history of North N
braskd. Starting in at the northern Hi
of Burl county it will follow the fort
second parrallnl line through the slat
crossing Cuming , Stonton , Madison , Ai
telopo , Wheeler and Loup counties , ai
the unorganized territory. In Wyomii
it will cross the heart of the cattle gra
ing country. It is behoved connection w :
eventually bo made with the Central P
cifio , or more likely with the California
Nevada railroad now being construct !
across the Ilocky mountains. Itri
bury the northern branch of the Unit
Pacific , which Sioux City haa been nur
ing in congroaa , and the ambitioua m
tropolia of northweatorn Iowa must 1
content , like Omaha , with a plug conne
tion. The bill for n bridge at Decati
having boon patscd , it ia presumed thi
the Nebraska Central will avail itself <
this means of getting over into Iowa an
connecting with the Chicago , Milwauke
and St. Paul.
The very absurdity of the atory thi
the Burlington people wore invcatin
lioavily in Union Pacific stock , with
view of securing a controlling intoros
jives it aufliciont lifo to bo reiterated i
the prosa of the west. Even if the atoc
of the road could bo purchased for ha
the present price it would prove a losin
investment. The amount of mono
which the company ewe the governmor
would rebuild the road to-day and pa
'or its rolling stock , not to apeak of it
Bonded debt , which amounts to an equo
sum i Besides the Burlington alroad
larallols the road from the Missoui
river to Denver , and by laying a thir
rail on the Rio Grande & Wester
t would have a standard gauge road t
Salt Lakp City. The connections whic
.ho Burlington have already made witl
prominent towns Jon the Union Pacifu
and two or moro In contemplation on
with Fremont and another with Chejnn
are sufficient proof that the Q is nc
going to invest in white elephants th
> resent season.
The opening of the Northern Pacifi
railroad last year did not cause any aor :
ous diversion of the trade of San Francii
co aa was intimated at the timo. St. Put
and Portland struggled bravely for
imo to secure the mastery in the im
nonso extent of country tributary to tin
road. The atrugp.lo was a brief and prof
table ono but' mounta'iha" became th
commercial dividing line and each wor <
content with the division. The whole
aalo trade of Omaha was also pushed int
he lower half bf a Montana , as' Ve !
as Idaho , a field which it will occu

intension of the Oregon Short Line ti
3akor City , whero/jconnection will b
made with the OrcgomMavigation compa
ny'a line , will doubtless sharpen compe
