OF INTEREST TO FOREIGNERS.

A question of citizenship of wide in
terest to persons of foreign birth has
been decided by Justice Harlan in
Springfield, Ill. A young man named
Kellar was indicted for illegal voting on
the ground that he was not a naturalized
citizen of the United States. He was
born in Prussia, of which country his
parents were subjects. His father died
there in 1865, and subsequently the
motner with the son came to the United
States where, in 1868, she married
Michael Gaschka, naturalized citizen,
Young Kellar attained his majority in
May, 1880, and in the following Novem-
ber, without having been naturalized or
having taken any steps toward natural
ization, voted at the congressional elec-
tion in Illinois. The district attorney
claimed that no person of foreign birth
and parentage could become citizen
entitled to vote until he had been natur-
allied in accordance with section 2,167
of the revised statutes, regulating the
naturalization of foreign born minors.
Justice Harlan decides that such is not
the law. He finds other sections in the
revised statutes which have an important
bearing on the citizenship of foreign
born persons who come to this country.
He holds that the marriage of Mrs.
Kellar with a naturalized citizen of the
United States conferred citizenship both
upon her and her minor SOD, and that
therefore the latter, on reaching the
requisite age, became entitled to vote
without being naturalized.

"hope springs eternal in the human
breast" and that every murderer's OBJ
stinacy is due to a lingering hope
of a pardon or communication; but
this seems to be very made
quate explanation. In works of fiction
we frequently read of pardons received
on the gallows, but seldom or never in
real life. The chance which any given
criminal possesses of getting one by OBJ
stinately denying his guilt after the
moose has been placed about his neck, is
80 miserably small that to suppose he
estimates 1t as of any Importance COM
pared with the risk he runs, is to assume
an imbecility of reason which is in itself
as great paradox as the one it processes
to explain. The only explanation at all
satisfactory is that the experiences of
the trial and subsequent solitary con-
finement are sufficient to upset the rea-
son of many men who undergo them; or,
in other words, that large part of all
the criminals who go to the gallows do
so while partially insane. This is only
a hypothesis, it Is true, but if it does
not fit into all the facts of the case, we
know of none other that comes so near
doing it.

Women as Spectators.

j.. One Of the best known women in this
country is heavy and successful opera
tor in Wall street. And she is not the
only woman who puts up margins and
takes the risk of their being wiped out in
tickle, huctuating course of the mar
ket. Seized with the mania which has
made and unmadem many men, women are
plunging into the vortex of speculation.
There are more places than one would
imagine in New York where women can
consult the "tape " and give their "or-
ders "-places that were established for
their exclusive accommod odation, and where
trude. There are " bucket Shops" as
they are called, for female dealers, too
places where no actual transactions are
made, but where money changes hands
on the quotations without making plir-
chases. The Offices intended for the pat
ronage of ladies are up town. There are
bucket shop" in Twenty fourth street,
but bucket shops only thrive among a
certain class. Ladies of refinement who
have money to invest, prefer to place it
where they can venture without fear of
exciting adverse comment. Thus it is
that behind the walls of a staid and
stately brown stone front in q fashionable
neighborhood, the busy ticker: :jots down
the quotations, and ladies who like to
chance their advances can watch the
course of the market without any one
being the wiser for it. Notwithstanding
the fact that the people who conduct the
better class of Offices do not advertise,
they do large and profitable business.
Their customers prefer absolute privacy,
and vthey trust to their patrons to in
crease their operations.

The Flea.

This insect belongs to the genus pu-
lex. When flea gets on your arm you
pulexcitedly at your sleeve. You are
anxious also for the insect to leave. The
flea has strong love for man, but he
manages to get over his attachment. He
is leper. In olden times they used to
drive the leper out of the synagogue.
When the flea gets on you, he sees sin
agog in your heart. The flea is para
site. You have not to cross the ocean,
therefore. to see Paris sight. Fleas are
very plentiful. You remember that
Mary had little lamb who's feas were
white as snow. In ancient times, how
ever, the golden feas were very scarce, :,
and consequently much sought after:
There can be no doubt about the habi-
tant of this social insect, for does not
the Bible speak of it as the. flea, from
the wrath to come?' And again it is re-
ferred to as the wicked flea which no
man pursueth.' But we prefer not to
dwell on this subject. Neither do we
wish to have this subject dwell on us.
We might ere long, have flea in ou,
ear should we not STOP. .g-}ss J..

LIABILITY FOR CERTIFIED CHECKS.

A recent decision of the court of ap-
peals settles, in New York, at least, a
point of the greatest practical interest to
the mercantile community, touching the
certi6cation of checks. The question
grew out of check for 1854 drawn by a
Chicago bank upon the New York Bank
ing Association. The check was pre-
sented for certifcation to the latter bank
and by it duly certified Subsequently
it was "raised to $2,540 and then Of
fered to broker in payment of bonds.
Before accepting it the broker sent it to
the bank which had certified it and in
quired whether I" that certifcation was
good. The teller replied in the afama-
tive, whereupon the broker accepted the
check. When it was presented to the
bank the fraud was detected and pay
ment refused. The broker then sued
the bank, alleging that he had taken the
check relying upon the representation
Of the teller that it was good. The
court of appeals holds that the bank is
liable only for the sum which it certi-
fied-namely, $254-and not for the full
amount of the "raised check. This
liability, the court decides, was not
varied by the representation made by
the teller, who simply guaranteed that
the certificate was genuine but gave no
assurance that the check had not been
''raised."
This may be good law, says the New
York Herald, but it is a question
whether it does not make successful
practice of fraud easier. When check
is raised after certifcation and is then
accepted by person without inquiry
at the bank the bank cannot reasonably
be held liable beyond the amount which
it certified. But the case is different
when the person to whom the raised
check is presented takes the precaution
of inquiring at the bank as to it's genu-
ineness and accepts it on the assurances
there received. In such case it is a
very easy matter for the bank to detect
the fraud. A reference to it's books will
show the exact amount for which 8
check is certified and at once disclose
the fact of it's being "raised." It would
seem to be but reasonable to expect q
bank, when asked whether a certiica
ton is good, to make this comparison
between the certified amount as shown
by it's books and the amount appearing
on the face of the check.

IMPENITENT MURDERERs,

There is seldom Saturday, says the
Atlanta Californian, on which the
reader of the morning paper is not
greeted with the announcement of oneor
more hangings occurring the day before
in some part Of the United States, and
by all odds the most remarkable feature
of these events is the number of men
who die protesting their innocence.
Last Saturday there was an account of
one of these obstinate criminals; not
great many weeks ago, three out of five
murderers who were hanged in a single
day died with solemn affirmations of in
nocence upon-their lips, and during the
last six months fully third of all who
have died upon the gallows have done SO
in the same way. There are about $50
legal hangings per year in the United
States, and of these q quarter or third,
or to say forty or fifty, annually go to
their graves obstinately denying their
guilt and refusing to ask the pardon of
God and their fellow-men. This pre-
sents very curious psychological prob
lem. We may assume that the number
of really innocent men hanged is infini-
tessimal. Perhaps one out of thousand
or two thousand is q victim of circum-
stances, and wholly innocent of crime.
Bearing in mind the leaning of both law
and juries to the side of mercy, we can.
not estimate the average higher than the
figures we have given, and if this as
sumption is correct, practically all the
men who swear their. innocence with
their last breath are only addingsa sec
ond crime to their first.
1t is marvellously. strange that men
should wish to set out ION their journey
to another world with O crime az their
last act in this one. It is not needful to
inquire into the theological opinions Of
the class of men who commit capital Of.
fences, for if some of them disbelieve in
future retribution (though probably very
few of them do), they must acknowledge
that it is an uncertainty into which they
are going, world with clouds and
darkness resting upon it, land whatever
it may reveal or conceal, the very worst
preparation for it is wicked life in this
existence. It appears Incredible that
this conviction sllould not force itself

The Great Irish TRAGEDY.

In their efforts to discover the identity of the
assassins of Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke in
Phpnix Park, the Dublin detectives have made
but little progress. The perpetrators of that
horrible crime have been remarkably successful
in covering their tracks, and the offers of re-
as yet produced no disclosures and elected no
information Of value. -Four dissecting- knives,
nine inches long, discolored by human blood,
were found in q stable in Dublin used by a man
named Kenny, who was recently deported for
intimidation. It is believed that the weapons
were those used in the murder of Cavendish
and Burke, and that Kenny was the driver Of
gate, who made confession Of his participation
in the tragedy, is at Kingston, Jamaica, and
will not be sent to England for lack of evidence
against him.

THE CAUCUS INvADEs ENGLAND.

According to writer in a recent issue
of the St. James Gazette, our cousins
across the sea have taken several notions
from us in political way, which he re-
CARDS as altogether unnecessary and un-
suited to the situation of affairs in that
country, and contrary to the spirit of
her institutions. One of these things
is the caucus, which he says has been
organized by the Birmingham party
managers. He considers the main OBJ
jects Of the caucus to be two: one, to
keep up political interest in a popula-
tion among whom it constantly tends to
die out through the minute subdivision
OF political power; the other, to main
tain vigilant watch on a not too honest
political representative who is discharg-
ing his duties at great distance from
his constituency. These objects, he
thinks, are fairly we'll attained by the
American political machine. In Eng
land he considers the caucus un-
necessary, because these objects do
not exist. He says there is rarely
OF never reason to doubt the integ-
rity Of the regular parliamentary repre-
sentative and that in England the eau
Gus becomes simple expedient for con-
trolling the more intelligent, the better
informed, and, on the whole, the more
honest, by the more ignorant, the more
stupidity factious, and, on the whole, the
less upright. He says the secret ballot
is an open secret, that taxation in the
United States has become enormous,
and concludes that self-government on
this side the Atlantic is on the whole a
failure. He regards the adoption of
the "previous question as one of the
rules of parliament in the 5ight of a
great calamity, and laments the loss of
prestige which England has lately suf-
fered from the American fpolicy of at.
tending to her own business and letting
her neighbors attend to theirs. Such a
jeremiad from one of the ultra conserva-
tive journals, says the New York Ex-
press, is instructive as we'll as amusing
reading. 1t indicates the drift of opinion
in that country toward freer constitu-
ton and reform of the rest of the
abuses and relics of past
age, SO many of which Mr.. Gladstone
has, by his influence and power already
buried in oblivion. The world moves,
and Great Britain must move with it,

trary Notwithstanding.
