AThe proposal introduced as a resolution in the
house 10 Istruc, the President to give the ne
ceSSary twelve months notice to Germany of
the intention of the United States to terminate
the Bancroft treaty IS likely to meet with oppo-
sitiOG; though much can be said In favor of
such action. The treaty In question defines as
between the United States and Germany what
Constitutes citizenship In case of immigrants
from the one country into the other. Five years
uninterrupted residence after naturalization f.
necessary to make the immigrant a citizen.
The principle that naturalh4d citizenship may
he renowned Is recognized in clause which
provides that such remuneration is made when
a German naturalized in this country reneWs
his residence in Germany without the intent to
return. 10 is added: 1.-THE intent not to return
may be held to exist when the person natural
Ted in the one country resides more than two
years in the other country" This provision is
the one 10 which especial objection is made. 1t
is urged. first that the clause is a departure
from The American doctrine Of citizenship and,
second, that if any such arrangement were TO
be- made, the time necessary for the remuneration
OF citizenship should. at least, be five years. OF
Us long i time as that which was required
to obtain il. The complications arising
from different interpretations of the word
''reSide" in the treaty are also referred to-
Those who would maintain the treaty point out
that tie statement by Germany OF the circum-
stances under which she will recognize one who
was once her citizen as an American subject is
a concession, since every state has right TO
regulate The allegiance OF its own subjects, to
prohibit their repatriation, and when they are
found in territory over which her rule is SOW
ereign to enforce such prohibition. Ii this
treaty is discontinued what reason they ask
Is there for believing that more satisfactory
arrangement viii be made' They hold that
under the convention between the countries
which the Bancroft treaty replaced, and which.
II Is thought viii again come in force after the
repeal OF the treaty, vastly greater annoyances
ana complications than under the present ar
rangement were constantly arising. II is also
suggested that the cutlery against the clause of
the treaty quoted Is hot made by German
American citizens who have really cast their lot
with this country, but by those who born In
Germany. wish 10 live there. enjoying the i'm
El'tntie> but not performing The duties Of
American citizenship. 1t is doubtless true that
the treaty Is lot unObjectionable; but this fact
should not cause an unheSitating decision in
favor of its termination before we are certain
tha, more satisfactory arrangement will take
its place.

so Stanchly that the run upon IL VIII probably
not only speedily exhaust itself but leave the
bank more firmly established In public conf
dence than ever. The depoSitorS are paid
promptly without the enforcement of the usual
notice, and the bank is kept open beyond the
usual hours TO accommodate the crowd. The
result is that some OF those who have drawn
out their money are anxious TO return it, but
the bank declines to receive it. Some shrewd
spectators, who are aware of the ability OF the
bank to pay all its depoSitors off-hand. have
been olaking good thing OF ii by buying the
deposit boUEEs Of the people outside. at the face
value Of the accounts; the purchaser getting
all back interest due and having the book trans
ferred to his name. These runs on savings
banks In different cities. though affecting bust
hess interests unpleaSantly for time, serve at
ieast the purpose OF wedding odt the unSound
banks, and causing the people TO learn which
are trustworthy.

The description elsewhere OF sthe famous

the interest In the meetings or the character OF
the attendance. The entertainments given by
prominent public men in Washington are also
much more simple, inexpensive and unostenta-
tious than formerly. In one particular. how
