Newspaper Page TextC2-J EHjc Stalls tainr ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY- ...AUGUST 25. 1SSJ English Investments In America. English land owners are ex cited over the proposed agitation in the Untied States ajruinst Brit- ish investments in Americ.ir! lands The newspapers contain long dis cussions on the subject. The ex citement was started by despatches from New York giving the history of the recent secret meetings of the American national league. These telegrams stated that the league had appointed secret com mittees, composed of first-class ti tle lawyers, to ascertain exactly how many titles to land in the United States are held by persons who remain foreign subjects, and report the names and possessions to the league. The organization is to issue millions of copies of pamphlets containing all the facts, to distribute, these carefully, and to so arrange an agitation against the policy of allowing aliens to be come real estate owners in any of the United States as to make the question a part one in the next presidential campaign. It is thought in London that Fxrnell, Sullivan and Henry George are the direct inspirers of the move ment, and it is feared that the ag itation may become very serious and troublesome. The ground which will be taken by the agita tors, it is understood, will be that British influence is already too great in American affairs; that this influence shows a natural ten dency to Anglicise the land laws and landlordism in the American Union; that the influence ought to be checked; that if British aliens are allowed to acquire American real estate there will be a steady growth of English influence in American legislation, which may ultimately prove inconvenient if not dangerous in the foreign relations of the United States. It will also be pointed out that in proportion as the op portunities for investment are greater in the United States than they have been in Ireland will the evils of a non-resident land lordism be more onerous and exasperating to the citizens of this republic than they have ever been to the people ol Ireland. The questionable policy of allowing the tottering aristocracy of a foreign nation to reinvigorate it self at American expense, and of permitting the landlords of Eng land to bolster up and perpetuate the caste of Great Britain by al leging them to drain to London the profits of valuable holdings in America will be deult upon and appealed from. It has for a long time gone hard with the landlords profits have befn constantly growing less. The disaffection among the tenantry has been in creasing, and the ability of the leaseholders to pay fair rents has been steadily on the decline. From land-rich the English real estate proprietor has changed to land poor. It is difficult to realize the vast amount of genteel povertv which at present prevails among a large proportion of the proprietors of the smaller English estates. The incomes of the large holders have been shrink ing so rapidly ami steadily that for many years past the world has been hunted over for relief. For some time past the territory of the United States has been recog nized as the promised land,and when the facts are made known, as the national league threaten to make them known, with surprise will be absolutely learned the amount of money which has been invested in land in the United States by English landlords who have no idea of identifying themselves with the country any further than absolutely necessary to enable them to receive their waning in comes from the productions or rents of their American invest ments. Geo. B. Weight, who has late ly passed over the whole complet ed portion of the Northern Paci fic, tells the Seattle Poat-Jntelli-genccr that it is infinitely superior to the Central and Southern Pacific roads for passenger traffic. Dining cars accompan' each train as far west as Helena, Montana. The scener' is grand all along the line, and the absence of the alkali plains which disfigure the scenery along the Central Pacific road is an agreeable contrast. A LOXDOX rfictta)i uv h Tim-eft commenting on the Berlin ; isorth German Gazette's article referring to the attacks of French journals on Germany, and declar ing that France alone threatens the peace of Europe, savs the course taken by the latter paper cannot be exp'aincii bv ttw reason assigned, as the French press upon th? whole has been eery :uoatrafe ! in regard to Germany. The j article in the Xorth German Ga-' zetie has startled Paris, aWmeJ ! Europe, and caused prices on th-1 bourses of Paris. Vienna.' rd iier- lin to fall. The papers overy-1 where express srjr";so at. the Gazette's attack on Fiace,'?itd wonder what its object i A French pajier intimates ihal France is better prepared iww to say that Bismarck is seeking a pretext for a war or for tlie impor tation of a fresh a run. So.MirriMJi ago the editor of th: N. Y. tSun issuer, as a ar cry i r the campaign of S4 the singie sentence "Turn the rascals out." livery Democratic paper promptly took it up and repeated it. Kew York contemporaries of the AV;: brought proef that its editor wrote and published a damaging editorial just prior to the presi dential election of 1S90, which, it is alleged, did a jrreat deal u tie feat Hancock in New York. And just as promptly every Democratic paper is now !erating Dan t as they applauded and endorsed him J one month ao. Tin: presidential abootnn that was started for Robert .Li.iooln. the son of his fatlier, still goes on. We are in receipt of occasional papers containing articles in his praise, such articles being care fully marked. Mr. Lincoln'; as- pirauons arc commcnaauie in a general way, but he can save him self the money exjended on port age as far as some kw Lions of tlie country are coeicerned. Should he be nominated he would have to count on Oregon's electoral vote being cast against him, a result in which we would grladlv aid. His accidenc3, Andy Johnson, of happy memory, is to be iitutior- tiilizcd by having his picture on the new four cent stamp. Eight million acres of Govern ment land in Dakota liave been disposed of to private persons within a year. XEW TO-DAY Chenamus Street Assessment.
