RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS.
The New Law on That Subject Just
Promulgated in Mexico.

lIohuikhNeu III "eAlCOs
report has been received at the State
Department from Consul General Sutton, at
Matumoras, embodylng translation OF the
new law promulgated on the 7th OF July
relating to the rights OF foreigners.
IL provides that any foreigner may be
naturalized in Mexico after two years. resi-
dence upon furnishing proof that he is in
full enjoyment Of civil rights in his own
country, and that he has business or an
income sufficient TO provide him the neces-
saries Of life Colonists coming into the
country by virtue OF contracts executed by
the government, and whose transportation
and settling expenses shall be paid by the
government, shall be considered as Mexi-
can citizens.
Foreigners shall enjoy all the civil rights
Of Mexican citizens, subject to the power
reserved TO the executive OF banlshing
those whose residence may be considered
perniciOus.
Vacant or public lands or real estate, or
vessels, may he acquired by foreigners
without a residence in Mexico, "but they
must abide by the restrictions imposed
upon them by the laws In force.n Any
lease Of real estate made to foreigner for
q term Of more than ten years shall be con-
sidered as q transfer.
The federal law may restrict the civil
rights of foreigners TO the extent OF sub
iecting them TO the same liabilities which
the laws Of their own coun tries impose
upon Mexicans. Foreigners shall con-
tribute to public expenses In the manner
provided for by the laws; they shall submit
to the decisions and sentences OF the trlbu.
nails "without applying TO different re-
sources than those permitted by law to
MexicaDs. They shall apply to diplomatic
intervention only in case OF denial OF justice
or OF voluntary delay in the administration
Of the same, and that after having tried In
vain all the different means afforded them
by the laws OF the republic, and in the man
ner determined by international law"
The compulsory matriculation OF foreign
ers is repealed.
This law does not repeal the twenty
league frontier limit or the five league ma
rine limit. Consequently to purchase real
estate within twenty leagues OF the from
tier the permission Of the president is still
necessary, and to purchase landed property
within five leagues Of the coast permits.

THE New York Times, chief organ Of the
Holly Willies aud Miss Nancys, has at last
yentured modest intimation that true
gooGr ess has not yet done its perfect work
in reforming the civil service. 1t says
When the President returns from his vaca.
tIon he will find an opportunity to teach some
of the suLordlnutes In the ciyil service an oh
ject lesson In the meaning of executive orders,
While, on the whole, there has been marked
restraint cXertod ON the partisan activity OF
oiilceholdeIs by the order issued In the sum
lnCr, there are not few instances Of impudent
evasion or open violation of IL. The removal
Of some OF the Offenders would have whole
some effect.
The New York World, referring to the
Timess paragraph, says;
If the President makes an effort to act on
this advice II Is 10 be hoped that he will sue
coed better than he did In the case Of the New
York collecIorshlp,

SOME of our esteemed contemporaries, with
superficial knowledge OF Mr.. John Roach's re-
lations with the United States navy, assume
that he didn't build swift ships of war because
lie couldn't. That Is mistake The three
merchant steamships found available for war
ieTvice by Mr.. Whitneys board on auxiliary
cruisers, namely, the Louisiana, Newport, AMI
saratoga, are all fast vessels. The Saratoga is
credited with an average speed Of fifteen
knots and the Newport with sixteen. They
were all three built by Mr. Roach at Mr..
Roach's yard.-NC,r FORK San.
Mr.. Roach built cruisers from plans fur
nished by the naval authorities, as he was
hound to do by act Of Congress. If those
vessels had been as slow as the old monitors
Mr.. Roach would have been blameless. 1t
10 conceded, however, that they are not
very slow as compared with most OF the
cruisers OF European navies, although less
swift than would be desirable.

YESTERDAY the people Of the first district of
Maine returned Hon. Thomas Il. Reed to
Congress by an increased majority. This was
rot alone because he is the Republican leader
OF the House of Representatives but fo' tac
reason that along with his gallant partisan
management and superior elolucnce he is a
statesman who has made an excellent record.
Mr. Reed is patriotic gentleman, a brilliant
hut rational legislator aud reliable leader
who has still grand career before him.

This is a high compliment, but 1t does

occasion calls for humor without any dan

fact that the postmaster has been forced by the

On the rather violent supposltlon that
there may possibly be some eolored men
who believe with Mr.. James @. Matthews,

the Democratic party Ia the best rend OF
the colored man, the Albany JoTnalinv
the attention OF such to a description, meant
to be humorous, In the Macon (Ga.) Tete-
0rdph, OF the forcible election of three
colored men from a frst-class railway car.
It appears that three colored men, we'll
dressed and Of such light complexion that
II was difficult TO say whether they were
colored or not, while on the way to attend
wedding at Macon, took seats In
q first class car on the Georgia railway.
Some white male passenger, who was too
cowardly to attempt to eject the colored
men, telegraphed to Geneva as follows
"Three coons In first-class car. Bring
out the brass band" About dozen white
men boarded the train at Geneva, and, TAX
ing the colored men roughly by the throat,
threw them out OF the car and then COM
with the warning that II they left the car
before they reached Macon they would suf-
fer. The Albany Journal adds: at will be
observed that II took dozen white men to
handle the three colored men In this
cowardly affair. Why well-dressed, gen.

How "Rerorm" Works.

The Philadelphia Record, one Of the most
honest, able, and earnest Of Democratic
newspapers, always standing up manfully
10 do battle for the Democratic faith even
when older organs of that party are trim
ming, dodging, hedging, and straddllng,
files serious charges against the administra-
tion In general, and the Postoilice Depart
ment in particular. The Record frankly
comedies what is well known in this city, TO
wit, that when Gen, Iluidekoper was at the
head Of the Philadelphia postofIlce its
efficiency was higher than that OF any other
office In the country. According TO official
reports, Its errors for three years averaged
one in every II 600 pieces. Boston and Gin
cinnau followed, and New York came
fourth with one error in 5000 pieces This
standard was determined by simple sys-
TEN Of returns to the department at Wash
ington, showing the number Of errors made
by each office in sending out mail matter,
and II was a crucial test from which the
Philadelphia service emerged with great
credit The Record concludes from this
superb showing that, II faithful work and
good results ever justified the retention OF
servant in the government employ, Gen.
IIuidekoper presented such case; but the
political necessities OF Mr.. Randall seemed
TO override all other considerations, and
Mr.. IIuidekoper was displaced by Mr.. Har-
rity. What was the result Of this great
"reform" moyementY We will let the
RCcOrd answer in It's own emphatic style;
Immediately The plan of rewards and pun
ishments for political opinions was inaugu-
rated, one Of the first official acts of the new
postmaster was to appoint three men, known
respectively as deputy postmaster, cashier, aud
assistant cashier, to do the work which one
person had previously done. Experienced
clCJks who were willing to do their full share
Ofwoik were superseded by Democratic ward
