indeed Great Britain, with which, if with any nation
his sunno,ed coumon.law doctrine should have been
regarded as a sufficient security 10 her ci'@0n''
long AGO enacted statute providing for the case ID
question.
Under this state of facts, il would seem that proup'
action .houd be taken by Congress to settle all douo
and difficulty upon this subject. American tamlies
can be found in all quarters of Europe and the mum
her yearly increases who spend years there IN pursuit
Of health knowledge or amusement 1t results OF ne

The law which may be enacted on this subject should

doubtedly are many individuals at present among US

judicially pronounced aliens
II Is 70 he boped now that attention has again been

AMERICANS BORN ABROAD.

We are glad TO that bill has been introduced in
the House of Representatives By Mr.. Cutting to Sc
cure the rights Of citizenship TO the children of Amer
cans born in foreign countries. As the case now
stands il would seem that the children Of Ameri-
can citizens born without the territorial limits of
the United States, save in few preferred cases,
Ike those of tn EmbassadOr or Minister, are re-
garded BY our law as aliens, and that consequently
when they return to what they deem their native
Try they return under all the disabilities as respects
tie rights OF Inheritance and of claim to protection
which attach to the alien character
This peculiarly of our laws has not hereto
fore escaped tie observation of jurists, OF
been permitted to continue without an efort
for its amendment by diferen. members OF Congress
Within the last thirteen years three separate bills
have been reported in Congress with view to remedy
this striking deficiency OF American law. The frs
bill wss reported to the Senate by Mr. Wall, from III,
judiciary Committee in ISL The second was intro
duced Dto lie ssae body b. Mg Webster il lS43, an,

70 submit the question TO seperate vote anu solue

II the ouestou be specially submitted, and the People
lid for Prohibition by Thirty to Fifty Thousand
Majority our adversares viii nevertheless organ re
their forces concentrate their funds and DO their III
most 10 elect Legislature which will repeal our law
Thus. while we hope the question msy be submitted
believing the moral influence Of an Affirmative vote
would be sautary we have no hope that is would con-
serve and insure the desired settlement oil the con
troyersy.
We are bound then TO meet the issue Of Repeal
ncrt November; and We must now consider whether II
will be easier TO bear up against open and legaized
GROCERIES or against outlawed and secret tipping
holes Who believes that the latter will be so nlmer
GUS or so strong SIS those that confront US VINO
believes hat the Rum traffic prescribed and under ban
will have 40 many seryitors and exert so much power
as itnow does
If our Prohibitory Law extends the legal immunity
now enjoyed by grogselDg one hour beyond the hr''
day OF May We fear it will not he possible TO stop the
Traffic this year Men will hire premises wherein to
prosecute the business for another year and having
hired them will argue that they mustPay their rent
somehow and will be ruined if they stop selling and
can be no more if they prosecuted and punished as
Iawbreakers, they may as well go on until the law
brings them up Thus thousands will be in the field
with money and liquor prepared to resist the Law to
tie utmost and to struggle for its repeal who If the
Law takes immediate effect will be out of the contest
or crippled By November. Friends at Albany think
