NATURALIZATION.

1t having been decided at the polls in Tusca-
rawas county last spring, that persons whose ia.
theirs had been naturalized during the minority
of the children, could not vote without them
selves being naturalized letter was addressed
to the Hon. John Y. Mason, Attorney General
of the United States, who closes his opinion on
the point raised as follows:
81 have no doubt, therefore, that the children
of persons who have been or may be duly ma.
turalized under the laws Of the United States,
being under the age of 81 years, and dwelling
in this country at the time of such naturalization
are to be considered as citizens of the U. States,
whether their parents were naturalized before or
after the 18th of April, 1902"

Nh, EDToD:
Having boon politely furnished with an
article purpor'lnn TO BE- in answer to one written
bv me and published IN tho last Free Press
which article bears the name Of "lsaac AlHin'
son" but is in the handwriting Of his son, Il. }.
Atkinson. the contents Of which imagine IS en-
,,r.Iy unknown To Isaac Atkinson, but thrown
before the public in the manner which 1t IS, for
two reasons-lat Because Isaac Atkinson cannot
write A communication, and 2lly, because he ~
not rgsponsb Die for such an attempt ri deception
ss is contained in the article alluded to, although
it is over his namc
The communication admits the fact that Isaac
Atkinson did not return the amount oi capital
invested, as all honest men were bound to do,
bnttres to avoid tha charge made against HIM.
by saving that, under the old law he was not
bound TO return his property, but that the asses
eor was 10 value il. Such an excuse for the ma
nv acts Of injustice 10 the revenue laws OF the
State could only ba made by man (or his son
for hm) whose principles are always IN market,
and who, to accomplish his selfish ends would
barter principle, honesty, oad integrity, destroy
the interest aud prosperity Of the country IN
which he might, TO its INJURY, be placed but
must fall short, far short Of decalvnG one honest
man. As an honest and faithful citizen OF the
State he was bound 10 return all the property ho
possessed that was the subject of taxation, and it
d poor excuse for him to say that, BY any de-
vice he has succeeded N deccivng the assessor
as 10 the amount of properly he owned. The
farmer could not do this, hi9 property could be
seen aud counted and the result has been, thar
ao honest return was always made. He dll not
put on wise look and say that he deceived tn
assessor as to the number Of his caue OF horses
and then uy to Justify 1t on the ground that II
was the assessors business 10 list the property,
No, thank God, no farmer was dishonest enough
10 do that
But when the return had to be made under
oath, Isaac Atkinson's property Is swelled from
1900 TO 5000 dosrh Pretty strong evidence
ofthe necessity ofaw aung 10 the return, mat.

SALARIES OF OFFICERs!-A FRAUD EX-
POSED!

An attempt has occasionally been made by the
more Inscriptions Of the opposition presses to
dcnounce the Wings of the late Legislature, for
increasing slightly the salaries of several State
officers, Notwithstanding that this increase was
sustained in most cases by position of the op-
position members, all of whom was ready to go
with the Wings if they would repeal the whole
Retrenchment Law, and raise the pay of MEM
bers OF the Legislature again to three dollars per
day. The Morgan Herald compares the salaries
allowed now with those paid before the adoption
of the Retrenchment Law, and thus shows that
substantial reform is still secured:
That this whole matter may be perfectly un-
derstood, we herewith give table of the sala-
ries of the principal officers Of State. The first
column shows the salary as it was for the long
period when the democracy had the power up 10
the year 1884. The second column is the
rate fixed by the retrenchmont law, so called OF
1854, and the third column is the amount fix
ed by the Legislature last winter
Any one who wishes to examine this may find
these figures in the bound volume also in the
laws of 1884 and 1856.

MR. EDIToR: In the last number of your paper
| observe that a writer, over the signature of
"Fair Play" shows up the inconsistencies aud
misstatements of our Representative in Congress
relative to his votes on increasing the pay of vol
unteers. The doctor, well knowing the torrent of
Indignation, caused by his unjustifable disregard
for the rights of others, which threatens to over
whelm him, attempts to excuse himself on the
pretence of economy. If the pay Of the soldier
be increased the expenses of the war will be great
er than the people would be willing to bear, is the
hypocritcal excuse of this insiHuating demagogue
this pseudo friend Of the poor. Now, let us
see if this economical gentleman practsed on his
present professions during the late session of
Congress, by reducing the salaries of all agents
of government to a living standard. A motion
was made to reduce the pay Of members Of Con.
gress from eight to six dollars per day, and DR..
Fries Uoted against ~ What other evidence
need we of his economy and disinierestcdReSS.-
lie is willing to practice economy in every other
branch Of Government, but hat--surely there
can be no necessity for reduction there! Surely
you would not insinuate that the doctor receives
too much for his invaluable services! Why du-
ring the late session Of Congress he sent ONE HUN
DRED AND SEVENTY FRANKS to Canollton in single

and the Post Master received two cents apiece for
