A SOUND POSITION.
Mr.. Bayard's Definition OF the Rights O
Naturalized Citizens Abroad.


Naturnlized Citizens Abroad.
Secretary Bayard has taken a sound
position in the case of the naturalized
American citizens of French descent
who were impressed for military serv.
ice on their return to France.
The law on the subject is reasonably
clear. There are cases wherein for.
eigner who returns to his native land
after having been naturalized here
may be there held to military obliga-
tons incurred before he left home for
the United States. But he can not be
held for military service when such
prior obligations do not exist-that is.
when the claim or demand has its
origin after American citizenship has
been acquired.
As rule, the rights of naturalized
American citizen on returning to his
own country are the same as those OF
native-born citizen, and are entitled
to the same protection from this Gov
ernment. The arrest and detention of
the former for military service would
be regarded by the State Department.
at Washington as substantially the
same as the arrest and detention OF
the latter. Nor are the naturalization
papers of a citizen open to impeach-
ment by foreign Government. They
must be accepted by such Government
as binding certificate of American
citizenship-at least until pronounced
fraudulent or irregular in this country.
These are the views maintained by
Secretary Bayard, in the diplomatic
correspondence with the French Gov
ernment just sent to the Senate. m

PRESIDENTIAL vEToEs.
Grover Cieveland's 1nexorable and Praise
worthy Sense Of Justice.

Grover Cieveiand's 1nexorabls and Praise-
worthy Sense Of Justice.
The President continues to stand
like rock between the peoples money
and the pension raiders. 1t lis shame
that the reckless passage by Congress
Of private pension bills should impose
on the President so much care and
labor. The average Congressman, like
the average man, finds 1t hard to say
no to the pitiful appeals of poverty
stricken constituents, who appeal for
aid, and SO, instead of manfully giving
them something out Of their own
pocket, he tries to saddle them on the
United States Treasury, Uncle Sam
pocket now being full and running
over.
The President having rather pro-
sale regard for his oath Of Office, and
an inexorable sense Of justice, still
keeps his hand firmly at the Treasury
gate. A few weeks ago he returned to
the House of Representatives nine bills
with as many vetoes. Some of the
applicants were widows in apparent
poverty, one of them even the widow
of soldier of the war of 1912. Every
one of the messages Is marked by some
pithy statement, showing that how
ever much the President may sympa-
thize with an applicant his sense Of
public duty is his first consideration.
The following may serve as sample:
Much interest is manifested in this case,
based upon former friendship and intimacy
with the deceased and kind feeling and sym.
pathy for his widow. I should be glad to re-
spond to these sentiments to the extent OF up
proving this bill, but 1t is one Of the misfortunes
of public life and official responsibility that
sense Of duty frequently stands between con-
ception OF right and q sympathetic inclination.
In another case, after going over the
evidence in support of the claim and
showing its inconsistency, he expresses
himself with just bluntness.
believe this claim for o pension to be 8
fraud from beginning to end, and the effrontery
with which 1t has been pushed shows the neces-
sity OF q careful examination Of these cases.
The fact is that more than onc-half
of the private pension applications are
either fraudulent or without proper
foundation. The general pension laws
are wide enough to embrace all just
claims, and case that fails before the
Pension Bureau ought to be most care
fully and thoroughly investigated in
Congress before being allowed. And
yet Congress passes bill after bill and
throws all the labor of Investigation on
tho President. 1t is not to be won-
dered at that he sometimes calls their
attention to their duty and response
bility in very choice and vigorous En-
glish. Chicago Herald.

our INFANTS.

One day went 10 Washington
Twas Just before election
To sec those infant industries
Which wanted some protection.
80 1toolt my wife, Jerushn,
And our spinster, Liza jane
She's O master hand with infants,
Whom she loves to entertain.
They took us to tho Museum;
We thought to see young babies,
But, lor! they were great lusty mem
They almost scared the ladies.
My wife she opened wide her eyes;
looked in silent wonder;
0naa Jane she snickered out
Felt mortified ns thunder.
One infants name was Cotton Mill,
A tall, great Yankee fellow,
! asked him: Cant you walk alone~
"Boo, hoor' he then did below.
The next one was o woolly man;
He had long hair like Esau,
Not much like baby did he look,
Said 1: "What are you hero fors"
A big. stout, burly one came next,
Named Iron by his mother,
And ut his side negro tall,
King Coal, his own twin brother.
Jerusha she was mad enough
To sec those big men whining,
Eliza Jane she blushed, and thought
"For love they may be pining."
"If those are infant industries"
Said I, "Why, Liza Jane,
You're nothing but O dainty miss.
Come, set your cap againw
Jerusha said: "Come stop that, John;
Go home, and next election
Justvote to have those infants weaned,
They need no more protection

Education Of German Women Belonging

The culinary art forms part of the
education of women in Germany. The
well-to-do-tradesman. like the me-
chanic. takes pride in seeing his
daughters good housekeepers. To effect
this object the girl. OH leaving school,
which she does at about fourteen years
of age, goes through tho ceremony of
confirmation, and is then placed by her
parents with q country Clergyman, or
in a large family, where she remains
one or two years, filling what may al
most be termed the post of service, and
doing the work of one. This is looked
upon as the apprenticeship to domestic
economy. She differs from servant.
however, in this, that she receives no
wages; on the contrary, her parents
often pay for the care taken of her as
well as for her clothing. This is the
first step in her education of house,

conditions. into the kitchen of rich
private family or that of some hotel Of
good repute. Here she has tho cont'ol
Of the expenditure. and of the servants
employed in it, and assists personally
in the cooking, but is always addressed
as fraulein, or miss. and is treated by
the family with Difference and consid.
GRAFTON. Many daughters of rich fam.
lilies receive u similar training, with
this difference, however, that they re-
ceive it in princely mansion or royal
residence. Consequently. the women
of Germany are perfect models of order
and economy. The richest woman -
we'll as tho poorest is well acquainted
with the market price of provisions;
and It gives one real satisfaction to see
her bustling about from one part OF the
house to another; now peeping into the
nursery to see how tho children are
going on, then looking into the kitchen
TO see that the cook is doing her duty,
and thai every thing is perfectly clean,
and generally giving an eye to every
thing and every body, and keeping an
well up to their work. In short she is

Jim BIaine's Pathos.

Stuffed as it is with "chestnuts''
there are one or two touches in Bla:ne's 8
latest utterance that are very pathetic.
The most pathetic. perhaps, is his in.
ability to understand why so many
people think it impossible for him to
be honest of course it is an exagger-
alton. No one really thinks it impos-
sible for Blaine to be honest. But this
fact only makes his belief on the sub
ject the more pathetic. 1t is really
quito touching to think of the absent
leader in foreign land weighed down
by the sad suspicion that people think
he can not be honest if he tries. What
q good many people do think about
Blaine is far less complimentary to
him than the thought with which. in
his sad cynicism. he credits them. If
they thought it impossible for him to
be honest they would look with pity
and forgiveness upon what no has
done. 1t is because they think he can
be honest il he chooses, and because
he does not choose. that they condemn
him. And If he wants to know why
SO many people think this of him he
has only to consult the record OF his
political career at tho pages marked
