The Rights of Ndturalised 4meri-
cans.

The report of the House committee
on foreign relations, presented by Gen.
Banks On Monday, is very long. 1t
says the treaty of peace between the
CnIIed States and Great Britain, at the
close ot the revolution, left three subjects
OF international importance unsettled
The first was the imprisonment of sea-
men the second, the right of search,
and the third, the question of expalria-
ton. The first two were practically set
tied by the war of 1912, but the third
is now of more Importance than ever Le-
fore. The English doctrine, ''Once Il
subject, always a subject" is fairly and
freely discussed, with many citations
from writers on international law. The
right of emigration is considered as a
part of the universal law of nations, not
to be taken away from any citizen, and
the course OF England in aiding and al et-
ting emigration, and then claiming allie
gancc from those who emigr;.Ied 10 bet
ter their condition, is condemned in
strong language. Since 1870 Europe
has exported to the country G,G40,0O0
OF its Subjects and many OF them would
have grievousIy burdened their own
country had they remained in the them.
1t is denied that, under American law
and president, any good authority of
our own country, properly construed,
can be found to justify the English doc
trire OF perpetual allegiance such conn-
Ia \ finds
comes from our respect to the English
law, and has no authority here
except as an element of that law existing
at the time of the revolution. The re-
ports closing section considers the effect
Of the doctrine upon the people OF our
own country. Gen. Banks thinks We
may look with hope to the new \ 'rth
ierman union for justice, even if Eng
and will not render it.

The Printers Toll.

Blow, ye stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly, drifting snow.
Closely housed, the busy printer
Heeds not how the winds may blow.
Click, click, his type go dropping,
Here and there upon his case,
As he stands for hours popping
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every comfort mortals need,
For our lights were dull in winter
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition
IT no printer boys were found;
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin and suffering would abound.
Yea, it is the busy printer
Rolls the car of knowledge on,
And a gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign if he were gone.
Moneys useful, yet the winters
Fill not half so high a place,
As the busy, toiling printers,
lingering type before the case.
Yet while the type they're busy setting
OFT some thaukless popinjay.
Leaves the county. kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay.
Oh. ingratitude ungracious.
are there on enlightened soil
Men with minds SO incapacious
AS to slight the printers toll?
See him. how extremely busy,
lingering type before the case,
Toiling. till he's almost dizzy,
10 eXalt the human race.

One of our exchanges takes rather an
unfair advantage of the opponents of uni
versal suffrage. 1t comes at them ia this
way:
Every man who owes bill at the bar
ber's which he does not intend to pay will
surely vote against equaf suffrage. The
superiority of race must be maintained
The nice young man who cheats bis col
ored washerw oman will be certain to vote
against equal suffrage. The proud sUpe-
riority Of the white must be vindicated
1t negroes are allowed to vote negroes
may be elected to office. object the Demo
Gratis against equal suffrage. Imagine a
Democratic hummer arrested by black
cons's bic! What an outrage
When a man objects to equal suffrage be-
cause it would produce negro equality he
simply Acknowledges that if the negro could
vote he would be his equal the vote being
the only distinction between them. This is
generally as much of slander against the
negro as it is ridiculous on the part OF the
white.

mass of ships, junks. and boats of every
conceivable shape, color. and size.
