The votes of New York having
been officially canvassed, and the
result announced, we can by com
pairing the returns with those of
1884, see just how badly President
Cleveland was knitted by Democrats,
which was not at all. Mr.. Cleye-
land was beaten rot because DEM
ocrats did not vote for him, but be-
cause there were more Republicans
than Democrats at the polls. In
the four years since the previous
Presidential election, the vote has
increased Ia, 776. The Repubii-
can increase was 1892; the Demo
cratic, 12,Sl1; and the Prohibition
5,295 But there was decrease
Of the remaining vote, comprising
the Union Labor and United Labor,
of II $50. Four years ago Butler
had 1894, and this year the Labor
and the Socialist vote combined
amounted to only 1902. 1t is eyi.
dent now that Butler drew his votes
from the Republicans, and that his
xmen went back to their party at thu
election this month, which accounts
for the Republican increase being
greater than the Democratic Mr.
Cleveland could not have beer
knitted to any considerable extent
by his party, when his vote in
creased 1881 in four years ard h,
had within 4,5.7 votes Of one-hal
the total increase in the State.

WHERE THE LINE SHOULD BE
DRAWN

Every lover of his country will
admit that we are little too indis
eliminate in the bestowal Of the
blessings of American citizenship.
Men become citizens who know
nothing Of the genius of our govern
ment nor the character of our insti-
tutions. To become a citizen an
alien must swear that he under
stands the principles of our con-
stitution and is attached to the
same. And yet men take this oath
who have never read a line Of the
constitution, and who cannot read
nor speak a word in English. They
go through the farce Of naturaliza-
ton by the aid of an interpreter.
To put it no stronger, this is a
wrong policy. No man should be
clothed with the grave responsible
tiles of American citizenship, and
all that it implies, who is not cap
able Of reading the constitution of
the United States in open court,
and in the presence Of the Judge
who is to grant him his papers of
naturalization. If he cannot learn
this in five years, make him stay
until he does learn, if it takes him
ten or twenty years Our natural
ization laws should be altered to
suit the educational test. If Amer
lean liberty is worth anything it is
worth guarding jealousy and well.
The greatest danger which threatens
it to-day is our own protiigate liber-
atty with it. The time has come
to halt and put the bars up a little
higher. Constitutional liberty is
the big blessing in this country.
1t is good thing-about the best
on this earth-and is worth caring
for. It will not endure forever for
the enjoyment of those who are to
succeed us unless the statesmen Of
to-day throw proper guards around
it. The most important of these is
to lessen the facility with which
the ignorant and venal class of
aliens embrace the rare blessings Of
American citizenship on an equal
ity with the native born without
due probation and preparation
Put the bars up at once.

The following society item is
copied from the Alaska Free Press:
