Election of school Trustees.

Patrons of Public Schools are reminded
that the first Saturday in December is
the time fixed by law for the election Of
Trustees. Failure on the part of patrons
to act in this matter will render it neces-
sary for the County Superintendent OF
Education to appoint said trustees. AS
this is very important, it is urged that
you fail not, and be certain to elect your
best, citizens as trustees, as a great deal
depends upon the success of our Public
School system, upon your choice of trus-
tees. Select without reference to politi-
cal or religious creed, as that feeling
must not control in our Public Schools.
Respectfully, JOHN j. GAGE,
..l.4 Co. Supt. of Education.

"A Negro NaturaHiEed.

Jefferaon Q. Davis, native Of Seneganbia,
Africa, applied for citizenship in depart
ment l of the supreme court yesterday. A
question has been raised with regard to the
eligibility of aliens Of the African race to the
operation of the naturalization laws. Judge
Belden examined the United Ststes nsturali-
cation laws, and then prepared an opinion,
of which the following is the full text: SIN
the matter of the application Of Jefferson
9. Davis to be naturalized. The sp-
plcsnt appeared in open court, accom-
panied by his witnesses, and established
10 the satisfaction of the court that he was a
native of Sensgambia, Africa, that he came
TO the United States when abouLtwelve years
of age, that he has ever since resided in the
United States, and that he possessed the
morals requisites to entitle him to naturalizs-
ton. Much question having been made as to
whether other persons than those of the
white race were eligible TO naturalization, the
court postponed the oath of citizenship to
consider this question. An examination of
the naturalization laws places the matter be-
yond even discussion. In 1874 tie natutal-
izstion laws ofthe United States were revised,
amended and re-enacted b. eougrsss, and g
general and comprehensive system of
naturalization provided, taking tba place Of
all antecedent legislation upon this subject.
As part of this general law, section 2l69
provides: "Tbe provisions of this title
shall apply to aliens Of African nativity and
to persons of African descent" No argu-
ment is needed to explain this provision,
nor could the most elaborate discussion
rerder its purpose or purport any clearer.
The applicant is.entitled TO naturalization,
and will be sworn in as a citizen upon pre-
senting himself before the court. 1t may be
added that, 10 my opinion, the decisions
which deny this privilege TO individuals
of the Monaghan race are greatly
strengthened by this special clause
above quoted. I. clearly implied the con-
struction of the law makers that in the gen
eral provisions of the act, other than u,
white OF Caucasian race were not included
for had they been this section would not
have boon required, and it further clearly
indicates the legislative purposes as between
those races not included within the general
scope of this act, TO make special discrimi'
nation in favor of the Afric.n race. The
rules of construction, By which this purpose
is here indicated, are the sxloms alike of the
books and Of common intelligence. Judge
Spencer, who occupied the bench with mf
when this application WAS made, agrees with
me in the conclusions here expressed.
ID. BENDEE,
Superior Judge.
