Will do Him Honor.

Senator Stanford, of California, has
introduced bill in the United States
Senate which, if he succeeds in get
ing it enacted into law, will confer
more of honor upon himself and more
upon the people of this nation,
than the establishment of the educa-
tional institute which he has SO mu-
nifcently endowed in California.
The bill proposes to extend the
period Of residence in this country,
required of aliens desiring to become
citizens, from five to twenty-one
years. In other words it proposes to
place the American born on an equal
ity with foreign born, in respect to
the period of probation prescribed
ere citizenship may inhere or be ex-
tended.
Were such bill passed, the peo-
pie would have safer and better
government. The votes Of ignorant
aliens congregated in large cities
would not over-balance those OF in
dustrious, intelligent, homebred citi-
zens in the country and smaller
towns. There would be less schem-
ing by blatant demagogues and ILL
smelling political villains for the votes
of the foreign element. A residence
OF twenty-one years would make a
man fit for citizenship Of this country
if he ever could become worthy of
such an honor, and if he could not
acquaint himself with our system of
government in that petiod, he ought
forever to be barred.
The whole country is filed with
men, who, under too loose naturali-
cation laws, have been granted the
rights and privileges of citizenship,
who have as little conception of the
dignity, responsibility and loyalty to
the government, which the name citi-
zen implies, as Digger Indian or John
Chinaman. In some of the large
cities, this alien mob, invested with
the rights for which our fathers-and
some of us also-fought, are in the
majority; in many they hold the bal
ance of power, between the two great
parties in the nation.
When Senator Stanford's bill be-
comes a law, as it, or one like it sure
ly will be at no distant day, election
laws in the states and territories will
be amended to correspond with the
new situation. Men will not be per-
mltted to exercise this highest of all
privileges in government, who are
not fully equipped as citizens. The
elective franchise will be more close
ly guarded and in the very nature Of
things more highly priced. 1t will
not be subject to the caprice of legis-
latures, nor made as elastic as rubber
1t will be something worth having
worth striving for, worth preserving
securely Seattle Times.

A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize colony of So
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements nccessar. for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last i'll
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
mess center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy G, lony. Vida streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
resei vations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adj lining lands
Temperance is the basis of oontentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prebibitury clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desirtd ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
lit le in the way of crops, save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is ti be used for the incidental OK
penses ol organization, location of lands
etc, which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. AS soon as sufii 1ient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the o'ga izltion
1t may not be out Of ace to state here

appended to this call tnd who has agreed to
join this enterprise, WI S connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns Of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,

years in the building of towns, irrigatiug

II a gentleman asks to be presented to a

duction So advises Mrs. Sherwood, who
thinks that our American ladies are some
times little lacking in cordiality, often re-
eoiving new acquaintance with that part OF
their confirmation known as the "cold shout

sffuhve courtesy and too low bow are
worse, and an overwhelming and patronizing
manner Is atrocious The proper salutation
1es just between the two extremes. In seek
ing introductions for ourselves, while we
need not be shy of making a first visit or
asking for an introduction, we must still,
according to the social authority already
mentioned, beware of ''push." There are in
