tirey removed this impression, and dissipated my

WAsHISGToS, May ~, 1915.
DEAR SIR: In reply TO your kind letter oi the
9Th instant take pleasure in saying that, grateful
for the too partial estimate you place on my public
scrviccs you do me more than juetce in aasum
ing that eatertain "kind and liberal views to-
wards our naturaliIed citizens" Certainly il
would be impossible for me TO recommend or cup
port any measure intended to exclude them from
just and full participation in all civil and polt-
cal.rishts no w secured to them by our republican
laws and institutions
It's true that, in a eeason Of unusual excitement
some years ago, when both parties complained of
fraudulent practices in the naturalization Of for
eirners, and when there seemed to be danger that
native and adopted citizens would be permanently
arrayed against each other in hostile factions,
was inclined to concur in the opinion, then nvowed
by many leading statesmen, that come modifica'
ton Of the naturalization laws might be necessary

The LAND WARRANr CAsE-Ansnpt 10 Do
stoy Paprs.-The examination OF I. L., one Of
the persons charged with forging an application
for q land warrant, was resumed yesterday before
Justice Stewart, at the Jefferson Msrket police
court. The evidence taken was confined to prov.
ing the handwriting in the body OF some Papcrs
The matter was further postponed in consequence
of witnesses then required beng absent. singu
lar circumstance occurred Immediately after the
examination. Justice Stewart had left tho room
for few moments, and on his return discovered
that the paper on which the complaint against the
prisoner is based missing. After dilgent
search 1t appeared that tn prisoner had, while the
magistrate was absent, been in the yard with the
officer having him in custody. His confused man
ner led the justice to suspect that the accused had
destroyed the paper, and couple of oflcera were
despatched in search Of it, where il was known he
had been. About half an hour afterwards the Off
Ger returned to the court room with portion oil
the los, paper, which they had found in the siuk.
IL is now in possession OF the magiatratc.

British American Colonies.

The British American press teens with eX
pressions of local discomfort, arising out of the
cavalier disregard of colonial opinion that has
been manifested during its brief term of office
by the present ministry of England. The
staunch Tory gentlemen of that country find
themselves unable to realize the progress to-
ward independence that has been made of late
years by its dependencies on this continent.
Concessions to popular demands in England
are ineligible to the dullest of the privileged
orders; but the idea of political advancement
in the backwoods of Canada, or the pine for
ests of New Brunswick. has not yet found
a resting place in the genuine Tory intellect.
For aught that appears to the contrary in the
imperial policy in relation to the colonies,
the history of these United States has spoken
in vain. Its lessons have been dsregarded
many times during the last three months.
The refusal of Sir JOHN PAKINGroN to give
the necessary sanction to an anti-liquor law
adopted by the New Brunswick Legislature is
the latest instance of the kind, and one that
seems likely to excite strong feeling in the col
onies. 1t is denounced in Colonial papers even
of rigid conservative stripe as an intraction of
the right of province to make its own NUM-
cipal regulations, and, consequently, blow at
the elementary principles of responsible govern.
ment Without reference to the measure direct
Iy involved, the ministerial vetois characterized
as an assumption of power, certainly warranted
by constitutional forms, but which had well
nigh fallen into desuetude under the sway of more
liberal rulers. Besides snubbing the teetotaI-
ers of New Brunswick, Sir JOHN has offended
Nova Scotia by denying to its ministry-the
representatives Of parliamentary majority
the power of investing lawyer with the
empty honors of silk gown; he has refused to
ecclesiastical questions which for generation
past have proved the main barrier to the peace
and progress of the western section of the colo
ny; and, to bind together the three provinces
by remembrance of common wrong, he has
repudiated bargain entered into by Earl GREY
for the construction, under imperial guarantee,
of trunk railway from Halifax to the river St.
Clair. To give fitting climax to the whole. he
has politely told the people of Newfoundland
that they are not now fit to govern themselves
even as the Canadians do, and that they must
therefore content themselves for some time to
come with the simpler avocaton of fishing.
We deal only with the facts, as items of
passing Intelligence and illustrations Of British
colonial policy in 1852. Of their probable
consequences our readers may Judge for them
selves.

The London ..Timesr the Democratic
Nomination..

Our Democratic friends may thank us for
telling them that the nomination of Mr.. PIERCE
is viewed with satisfaction by the English
press. The London Times is particularly
pleased, because, as "a decided champion of
free trade" Mr.. PIERCE is supposed to be
favorable to British interests, without be-
ing encountered with the anti British feelings
Of General CAss or Mr.. DOUGLAS. This
is substantially the reason assigned by the
Times for its gratulations; and on the suppo-
siton that Mr.. PIERCE may be elected, it pro-
ceeds to dilate on the advantages that will ac-
crue to England from the policy of President

ILLINOIS CAN BE CARRIED FOR Scorr.-We feel
sure it. 1t will not be done. by boasting and
loud talking, but by close and hard work. There
is no other way. We need not look to other States
to fight the battle for US. The Mexican war showed
that Illinois troops could do their share OF that
work themselves. They now have chance to
gain peaceabe victory. Let every Wing feel
that he has himself something to do; let him work
from this day to the close of the election promptly,
patiently, unremittngly, and all will achieve such
a victory will make their hearts glad.

plication of free-trade principles. The plea
SAINT prospect tempts the Leviathan to hide
its antipathies under thick veil of flattery,
whereof this is the mildest:
1.-THE march of events in each succeeding year
convinces more and more that there Ia no oc-
currence beyond the limits Of the British empire
and out Of our control which exercises great and
important an influence on our own welfare, and on
the general progress Of the world the character
and policy Of the American Government. II Is
not, therefore, without the deepest interest and
solictude that we watch the somewhat capricious
operations by which the composition of that Gov
eminent ia to be determined for the next four
years.
1.-THE relations Of the British Empire and the
American Union have gradually twined them
selves into a come ion, strengthened by common
interests and common freedom, which is alike dis
tinct from the close and onerous ties of mother
country to her colonies, and from the frigid or
polite alliance of two foreign States. Between
ourselves and the United States there is no depen-
dency, and, strictly speaking, no alliance; but
there is identity in the first interests OF industry
of peace, and of mutual respect"
A little time ago the Times pronounced the
Irish Exodus providential dispensation to
swell the number of American consumers Of
British manufactures. Its endorsement Of Mr..
PIERCE is proper sequel, since it knows right
we'll that the Democratic party, and none
other, will pay liberal tribute to British inter-
ests. Whether the American people are pre-
pared to relish the sacrifice of American indus
try to swell the power Of British capital may
reasonably he doubted
