The Right OfNaluralized Citizens.

The government is bound, not only of
right but by statute law, to protect
equally the rights of its citizens, whether
they are so by birth or by naturalization.
Section 2, 900 of the Revised Statutes de-
clares that ''all naturalized citizens of
the United States while in foreign coun-
tries are entitled to and shall receive
from this government the same protec-
ton OF persons and property which is
accorded to native born citizens Sec
ton 2,OOl declares further that "when-
ever 1t Is made known to the President
that any citizen of the United States has
been unJustly deprived of his liberty
by or under the authority of any foreign
government, it shall be the duty of the
President forthwith to demand of that
government the reasons of such imprison-
ment; and if it appears to be wrongful
and IN violation of the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship the president shall forth
with demand the release of such citizen
and If the release so demanded il unrea-
sonably delayed or refused the President
shall use means, not amounting to acts
OF war, as he may think necessary and
proper to obtain or effectuate the release:
and all the facts and proceedings relative
thereto shall, as soon as practicable. be
communicated by the President to Con-
gress.
These sections of the Revised Statutes
declare the duty of the President toward
American citizens now held in prison by
the British government in Ireland under
the Coercion act. We have no doubt
that he has done it and is doing it.

The Democrats in Congress will oppose
the tariff commission bill. The Democrats
will take this action because the bill is
Republican trick, and is essentially dis
honest. The Republican party is so Gt
vided on the tariff question that it cannot
deal intelligently with it. 1t is the pro-
per business of congress to deal with this
question and if it is desirable to revise the
tariff Congress is the proper authority to
do the revising. But, the Republicans in
Congress dare not undertake it and, as
is the republican CUSTOM contemplate
lodging it by means of a commission on
revision that will procrastinate the matter
for three or four years longer. The Dem
ocrats want the Republicans to face the
issue. If the tariff needs to be revised,
let it be so declared,s land when declared,
let Congress set about revising it, That.
is what Congress Is for.-Plain Dealer:

The coming newspaper will be one OF
paragraphs and items-not of long and
elaborate editorials, though these will
occasionally come in. The taste and
liking of the people is in the direction of
the short, condensed, full-of-merit, nut
shell paragraph. 1t is great art-not
yet comprehended, except in rare in
stances-to say much of thought in little
of space. But can it be done. Ours is
an age when only the wheat is wanted

those leading newspaper which deal ir

ance of one or two things. One editoria

GOBBLED BY GOULD.
The Mutual Union Telegraph Company
to form a part Of the Western Union
system.

blottihs
NEW York, march 29.-The Tribune
will say tomorrow that the control of
the Mutual Union Telegraph Company
has passed into the hands of friends of
the western Union Company, and the
systems will be operated hereafter in COM
plete harmony. No attempt to unite the
companies more closely will be allowed
at present, but by securing control of the
rival line, friends of the Western Union
haYe removed all danger of active oppo-
sItiOn to that company. The negotia-
tons, which were brought to a success
ful issue last night, have been in progress
for several months. Jay Gould has
bought 33 500 shares of Mutual Union
stock and George F. Baker, president of
the First National Bank. and George S.
Scott own enough more stock to make
the whole amount $4,000 shares. The
entire capital stock of the company is
| SIC. 1000. 900; so. as these three men own
an absolute majority, they have united
in an arrangement by which the Mutual
Union will be operated entirely in the in
terest of the Mutual Union company.
The agreement was signed last night.
The SO 600 shares of stock have been
placed in one pool. and under certain
restrictions will be used to insure har-
mony between the two companies. The
litigation in which the new company
has become involved is to be discon-
tinued. The lines of the company are to be
extended in accordance with the plans OF
the present management, but only so far as
the extensions will be to the advantage OF
the Western Union. The business of the
new company will be developed to the
full capacity of its lines, so far as they
may be considered part of one vast sys'
tenn; in effect the lines of the Mutual
Union Company will be operated pre-
cisely as if they formed a part of the
Western Union system.

Elementary Democracy.

The fifteenth century was one OF
great mental activity. Under the
reign of Elizabeth the wars of the
Roses had ceased, the houses of York
and Lancaster were united in harmony,
and the great minds of that period had
time to conceive and contemplate the
triumphs of peace. The great intel
lects OF men like Burleigh and Bacon,
through the newly invented art of
printing began to break the shackles
of the Middle Ages and to awaken
man to more enlightened civilization.
The discovery of America had furn-
ished a new geography and presented a
new world to energy and enterprise.
The Cloister was opened, the fetters
removed from knowledge. and new
philosophy of human rights was pro-
mulgated.
Under the relgns preceding Eliza
beth fanaticism and persecution had
saturated the soil of England with
human blood, and the change in ascen-
dency between the conflicting creeds
and factions brought no change ex-
cept in victims, and gave no relief to
minorities. Revenge was all that per-
secution begot, and from the ashes of
the martyr no hberality of thought
ever grew The recognition of the
rights of men were only obtained
through terrible baptism o. blood !;
conflicting creeds and contending gov
ernments alternately ruled anarchy
for moment triumphed, and regicide
received applause. Religious liberty
first asserted itself aud civil liberty
soon followed. The struggle between
the old and the new creed, between
the doctrine of the divine origin OF
kings and the inherent rights of man
was long, and bloody, and doubtful
and only after the struggle, commenced
by the convocation at Runnimede hac
terminated with the days Of the young
er Pitt, were the rights of Englishmer
protected by well defined constitu
ton, and only then could their laws
with certainly be written,
The persecution, mainly religious
of the Old World had, however
peopled the New one with a class o
men whose devotion to convictions hat
completely divorced them from tn
doctrine of the divinity of kings
and although persecution of them
selves had not taught them tolbear
ance and stayed persecution on thei
part, the Roundhead of Massachusetts
} the Cavelier of Virginia, the Hugeno
of Carolina, the Catholic of Maryland
the Quaker of Pennsylvania and tn
Dutch of New York, had all imbibe

A Farmers Dream.

It NAV seem a little strange for
some people to know that a farmer
ever dreams, and yet he does dream.
In fact. it is not unfrequent to hnd
one who even loves to dream, and who
is permitted to look into the future
and make great speculations IN crops
and stock, &c. But we wish to call
your attention to one particular dream.
This man had been sick for many
months, confined to his house and bed
He had almost despalred OF ever gett-
ing around on his farm again, until
one stormy night, the rain that beat
upon the roof had ratified him into a
sort of doze or sleep. 1t was then
that he saw or had a glimpse of what
his future might be. He saw in that
dream a very large building and IN
that building he saw many things
which astonished him; they were
strange; he had never seen them be-
fore. At one end of the store he saw
four men busily engaged in counting
pills, putting them in boxes, and
wrapping red papers around them
He then was told that he had been
sick for a long time and that by tax
ing lust one box of these pills that he
would be entirely cured, and could
once more plow the fields and till the
soil with pleasure, and profit, anc
without pain.
For the general information OF oul
many thousands of readers we woulo
state right here that the man tt
which the above refers lives near st
Paul, Minnesota, that the dream o.
vision, which ever you may call 1t
made such an impression on his mine
that he actually ordered one dozen o
saur's Vegetable Blood and Live
Pills, tina, he took them according tt
directions and was cured. This mai
further states, that in that dream HI
\ saw into every part of Saur's Drug
and Book Store, that even up stairs
on the second floor, he saw grea
large stock of the most beautiful Wa
and Window Papers, fine decorating
papers, which looked nice enough t.
put on fairy houses, In the cellar h
saw large quantities of oils, great stack
of many different colored paints, var
nishes, sc.
On the main or first floor, where h
saw the pills put up, he also saw man nan;
people busily engaged in buying dll
ferent kinds of medicines, windoS
shades, brushes, nice books, papers
&C., in fact he could see most every
thing and anything here, and 1t almoS
seemed to him at first to be manne
of museum. He noted that extremel
great pains were taken to keep every
thing nice and fresh, that the goo
health and welfare of the people wer
held sacred rather than the dollar
and cents. That all attention wa
civen to those who called here ian

which induced him to make the e2
