The Right to Naturalization.

Two decisions have been rendered
lately upon applications for naturali-
cation which are likely to attract at
ton. One of these decisions was rem
dered by Judge Daniels, of the New
York Supreme Court. Upon close
examination of an application for nat
uralization before him, and the usual
witnesses, the fact was brought out
that the applicant was in the habit
of becoming intoxicated at no great
intervals Of time, and while in that
condition of abusing his wife and
family, and that he had on several oc-
casions been arrested and punished
therefor. Judge Daniels refused the
application for naturalization on the
ground that the applicant was not
proved to have behaved as a man Of
good moral character, well disposed
to the good order and happiness of the
United States, as required by the
United States Revised Statutes. He
said:
''This privilege of citizenship has
been provided as a reward of good be-
havior and demonstrated attachment
to the principles of free government.
The design of the law is, in great part,
certainly to induce and secure the CO.
operation of all the persons residing
in the United states in supporting the
laws and Constitution of the country.
But this fidelity to its interests and
progress is not to be expected from
and will not be supplied by disorderly
and dissipated persons. Reliance
cannot be placed upon them for the
support of the principles of free gov
eminent or the enforcement of good
order or the laws enacted to secure
and promote it. They cannot, Therefore
held to be persons who have behaved
themselves as persons of good moral
character, and without that they are
not permitted by the statutes to be-
come citizens of the United States"
In another case, which came up in
the Philadelphia Court of Common
Pleas, the applicant, Hungarian,
when asked to take the oath of alle-
glance declared that he did not be-
lieve in deity OF any kind, and that
he neither swore nor affirmed. His
was refused.
Both these decisions seem to mani |
fest tendency on the part Of the
courts to scrutinize more closely the |
qualifications of foreigners for natur-
alisation. This Is reform in the right |
direction.

A Free Trade Party.

The Louisville (Ky) Courier Journ-
OIL, edited by Col. Watterson, is re-
cognized as one of the leading Demo-
cratic papers of the country. Here is
what 1t says about the Democratic
party being free trade party:
eve demand tariff reform and set
our faces in the direction Of free
trade.n
1.-THE Democrat who is not a free
trader should go elsewhere"
"The conflict between free trade and
protection is irrepressible and must
be fought out to the bitter end. We
spit upon compromises, and propose
neither to ask nor to give quarter"
1.-THE Democratic party, except in
the person of lmbeclles hardly worth
mentioning, is not upon the fence. 1t
is free trade party or it is nothing"
Morris tribune., 1888-10-24

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, the eloquent
and earnest prohibition advocate has
an article in the American Magazine
for October entitled prohibition Not
a National ISSUE" She recognizes
but one issue in the campaign-thst
Of the tariff. She refuses to recognise
prohibition as national issue because
1t takes two to make a fight. The
third party may seek to make a
national issue on prohibition, but they
have no one with whom to make the
Issue. The Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are absorbed in the great Issue
of the tariff. There has been a chall-
enge from the Democrats and an 40
ceptance from the Republicans to
fight for the preservation Of the pro-
tective system. Other questions are
before the people but only upon this
one has the challenge been made and
accepted.

Harrison Wears Well.

From not one section of this broad
land does there come the slightest dis
satisfaction with the national Repub-
lican ticket, or the principles upon
which 1t stands. Just think of this
condition moment. Perhaps, though,
if you aren't busy, you better think of
IL more than moment, for it is rare
that such a condition obtains to be
thought about. It is an omen of sue
cess not to be lightly considered. Not
since Lincoln ran the second time has
there been such unanimity among Re-
pubiicans. You remember the result
then?
One of the strongest reasons why
things are now as they are is the pc
culiar availability of General Harrison
az the head of the ticket. The New
York delegation at Chicago discovered
this fact when it came unanimously
to his support. Indiana knew 1t all
the time. The Pacific coast learned
it within a day after the Chicago Con-
ventIon adjourned. The entire coun-
try has been fully convinced of it ever
since it got acquainted with the Re-
publican candidate. No man ever
came suddenly into overwhelming
prominence and wore so well.
Morris tribune., 1888-10-24

even that Harrison would be the
next president, but there We're no
takers among the Democrats. Clark
also offered to bet any part of $25, 900
to suit takers, but got no response.
The truth is the Democrats have given
up all expectations of electing Cleve-
land, since it is perfectly apparent
that both New York and Indiana will
cast their ELECTORAL votes for Harrison
and Morton. Eftg2 z&5

Voted Against Giving a Pen
sion to Mary Lincoln.

It affords us neither pleasure nor
qualification to state that on May 2,
1870, Eugene NJ. Wilson, Democratic
candidate for governor of the state of
Minnesota, voted against giving a
pension of $4,000 year to Mary Lin
coin, the widow of our great and good
martyred President, Abraham Lin
coin, Mr., Wilson being at that time
member of congress. Mr.. Lincoln
had been assassinated, and his family
was thereby deprived Of the salary as
president for over three years, provi-
ded he had been permitted to live.
Mr.. Lincoln was poor man at the
time he was murdered and congress
very justly proposed to grant his wild.
ow pension. But Eugene NJ. Wilson
said "Nop We do not envy the head
nor the heart of any northern man
who could thus refuse the poor wild
oW-made insane by grieving over her
murdered husband-this small pit
lance.
Well do we remember when we re-
ceived the news of the horrible crime
of numbering President Lincoln
Sherman's army was lying at and near
a place called Martha's Vineyard,
North Carolina, and in his order an
nouncing the horrible deed to his SOL
diers, Gen. Sherman used these words:
cit is one of the natural results of the
rebellion" If there had been no re-
bellion, it is not probable Abraham
Lincoln would have bsen murdered.
Having become the victim of the
damnable rebellion, it was only just
and right that his widow should re-
ceive a pension from the government
which he had so faithfully served.
But Eugene M. Wilson said moi"
What do the loyal people of the great
state of Minnesota think Of Eugene
NJ. Wilsona Do they want him for
governor?

Notwithstanding the fact that the
statement of one Edward Gould
that General Harrison said "a dollar
a day was good enough wages for any
working man," has been proven over
and over again by unimpeachable
witnesses to be malicious lie, we oc-
cassioL ally notice the stale and musty
chestnut repeated by some rural
Democratic editor. Speaking of a
dollar day reminds us that the ell
tire Democratic press of the country,
as well as the Democratic speakers,
are laboring to inaugurate system
of free trade, which would reduce the
wages of laboring men of this country
to the standard of wages paid labor
ing men in England, which is less
than a dollar day. Such IS modern
Democracy. q
