declares his intention of becoming citizen
oflthe United States. are as great as if he
had been born here or been naturalized al
ter residence of five years.
But Colorado is by no means the only State
where the immigrant does not have to be
naturalized before he can vote. In Alabama
every male person of foreign birth is enti-
tied to vote provided only he has legally de-
clared his intention to become citizen of
the United States, is 81 years of age and has
resided in Alabama one year preceding the
election at which he offers to vote. In Ar
kansas the case is precisely the same as in
Alabama. Naturalization is not necessary
to entitle the foreigner to vote. Califor-
MAS constitution on this point is precisely
like Colorado's. A six months residence, in
the State and declaration four months
before election of an intention to become a
citizen of the United States are all that are
necessary to enable man who seven months
before Presidential election was subject
OF the Car of Russia to have as much voice
In determining who shall occupy the execu-
tive chair of the United States, as a man born
here Florida's constitution is similar to
Alabama's. Indiana's follows suit To
qualify him to vote in Kansas the
immigrant needs only to have resided in
this country year before election, tie last
half OF 1t in Kansas, and to have declared
his intention to become a citizen of the Uni
ted States ten days preceding the election.
Or. Thomas cited Louisiana as one of the
States in which naturalization was not
prerequisite to the aliens voting, but the last
constitution of that State apparently re-
quires naturalization. In Missouri the bal
lot is as easily obtained as in Alabama. In
Nebraska six months residence and declara-
ton of an intention to become citizen of
the United States will enable recent
subject of Queen Victoria or any other
foreign potentate to vote. In Oregon the
right to vote is nearly as cheap. In Wis
consin years residence and declaration
OF intentions comformably to the United
States naturalization laws are all that are
necessary. Here are eleven States, the most
of them large and populous States too, in
which citizenship of the United States is
not prerequisite for voting The sacred
right of the ballot doesn't appear quite so
sacred when you come to examine it.
The Portland daily press., 1888-11-15

The address of the Rev. Dr. Thomas
to the Congregational Club The other night
on the subject Of immigration brought out
some facts with regard to thr sacred right
Of the ballot" which are probably new to
most people in Maine, ana as disagreeable
as they are new. We imagine that the
majority Of DIR. Thomas's audience were, to
put it mildly, very much surprised when he
ted them that ian immigrant can land at
Castle Garden to-day, be railroaded through
to Denver, Colorado, declare his intention to
become a citizen and vote at the next cleo
tion." Yet such is the fact, provided the next
election does not occur within six months
from the time the immigrant arrives in Colo
RADIO and declares his Intention of becoming
citizen. The section of the Colorado con-
stitution which fixes the qualifications of
electors declares that
Every male person over the age OF 81 years,
possessing the following qualifications, shall be
entitled to vote at all elections:
FIRST ne shall be citizen of the United States,
or, not being citizen OF the United States ne
shall have declared his intention, according to
law, TO become such citizen, not less than four
months before he offers TO vote.
Second, he shall have resided in the State six
months. immediately preceding the election at
which he offers TO vote.
Ouittu OLdLeS
law, and consequent residence in the coun-
try of five years, is not prerequisite for
voting 10 Colorado. Elections occur in that
State in November. An immigrant direct
from Italy, or France or Ireland OF any other
country who sets foot in this country for the
firsttime next April and Immediately journeys
10 COLORADO can have an equal voice with
the native in deciding six months later who
shall be governor Of that State and what men
shall constitute its legislature, provided only
he goes before United States court within
two months after his arrival and declares that
he intends to become citizen Of the limited
States, ard continues to reside in the State
until election day. If there were an election
for congressman next November he could
vote for congressman too, for the constitu-
ton OF the United States declares that per-
sons who under the State law are qualified to
vote for representatives in the most numer-
GUS branch of the State legislature are quail
fed to vote for representatives to Congress.
If there were Presidential election in
November he could vote also for Presidential
electors. So far as voting is concerned the
political rights of the resident of Colorado
who has lived In that State but six months
and in the United States but six months, pro-
vided four months before election day he

The new dynamite cruiser Vesuvius is
nearly completed. and is said to surpass the
expectations of its builders in several re-
spects. 1t is said to have made at recent
private trial thirteen and one half miles In
twenty-nine minutes, being an estimated
speed of twenty-seyen miles an hour. A
speed Of twenty knots an hour is fast sailing,
and the fast torpedo boats Of Europe are few
that do better. But it is thought that the
Vesuvius may easily steam twenty-three
knots an hour. The three ten and one half
inch dynamite guns are completed and ready
to be put aboard. That they shall work sue
cessfully is of course of much more import
ance than the speed of the boat. Together
the high rate of speed and the ability to
throw heavy charges of dynamite with accu-
rscy and safety WILL If attained, make the
Vesuvius the most interesting and formida-

EVOLUTION IN THE SOUTH.

There is no doubt that a larger number of
votes were cast In West Virginia for Harri-
son than for Cleveland. but it is probable
that sufficient Republican votes will be
thrown out to give the latter nominal
plurality. A large Republican precinct in
Mercer county is to be thrown out on ac
count of mere technicality, although if the
strict letter of the law were applied many
Democratic as well as Republican returns
would have to go. The Democratic news
papers are claiming the State by 139 for
Cleveland. 1t is creditable to the moder-
alton Of the leaders in West Virginia as com
pared with those in other Southern States
that they are content with so small a plural
ity. There is an evolution in progress in
this State and old Virginia which will prob
ably become SO far advanced by the next
Presidential election as to permit the vote ID
stand and be counted as it was cast.

Sackville and Sir Charles Warren, London
Superintendent Of Police, is Judge o. N.
Denny, an American, until recently general
adviser and man Friday to the King of
Corea, at salary of eighteen thousand dol
lars year, to say nothing of perquisites
and rank and dignity second only to that
of his royal master. In an evil moment
Judge Denny committed the folly of writing

abuse Of China and Chinese officials and

man who would serve as the tool of the Pek-
ing government. The letter was published
in the United States, and in due course of
time travelled back to China where 1t was
translated into beautiful tea chest charades
and put before Ii Hung Chang himself.
Now the King of Corea is not so independent
OF China as he might be; and when the great

II we are 10 have a canning establish
ment IN this place the effort now being
made must be pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible and our people must not be at all
backward in taking the stock. The CAPT
tai stock is put at 1900 and the shares at
$40 each, 80 that there is scarcely a person
that is not able TO take at least one share.
As to the benefits to be derived from it,
it is only necessary to point to the history
and development Of this industry in Bote-
tourt cvdnty alone. few years ago a
small cannery was started in that cOun-
IS and so very profitable did itprove TO be
that now the county is dotted over with
them, and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars flow into the pockets Of her people
/ each year. IL is now one OF the most pros
porous counties in the state. The in
crease in her wealth Is almost incredible.
Land has doubled in value in many parts
of the county in the last five or six years.
Why should not this be the case in Shen-
aDdoah Why is it not the case now
IL is not because we have not all the ma
terial advantages that Botetourt has, it is
not even a lack Of capital. 1t is a want
Of the same spirit of enterprise that has
put that county 50 far ahead of us on the
road to prosperity. Our people have now
the opportunity offered them to make q
commencement in this most profitable in
dustry. $4,000 will put IN operation q
plant that will turn out 10000 cans pei
day. This alone will make large market
for fruits and vegetables. The yield pei
acre of tomatoes is from $50 to 900 bush
els, thus yielding return to the farmer
Of from $50 TO 500. In sugar corn we are
informed that the yield per acre is from
s25 to $50. In small fruits the yield pei
acre is, we believe, much greater, but We

Skillful Work.

The following article we take from the
Page Ners Of February 9Th; "For the
past several years but especially for some
months past a number Of farmers living
on and near the Hawksbill, have com

harness, leather, chickens and various

Accidents.

On last Sunday, whilst Thomas, aged
about eight years, son of Mr.. Henry Nc
Neal, was riding young horse near
home, about 2 miles east Of New Market,
it seems the saddle turned, and it IS
thought the boys foot hanging in the
stirrup, he was dragged short distance.
The horse tramping on bis left hand
severely lacerated it.
On Wednesday of last week, whilst MT
George VIII Lohr was dragging saw logs
with the front part Of his wagon he met
with quite a mishap. The lead horse at
tached to the wagon, took fright, wheeled
around, upset the wagon aud broke OIL the
tongue which struck Mr.. L. badly bruls-
ing him. Both the saddle aud of horses
were thrown down, the former being
severely injured about the legs. The acct
dent occurred near Timber Ridge school

COLUMBIA FURNACE ITEMS

DEAR HERALD thinking few items
from this place not amiss, so we, by re-
quest, endeavor TO give them.
Thieves broke into the mill one night
last week and stole therefrom about 400
lbs. ofAour. The thieves, it seems, are
known, and probably it would be better
for them, as we know it would be for the
community, if they escape to other and
moro congenial quarters.
John b. GrandstaG is home taking care
of a mashed hand. He is one Of Colum-
bias best boys, and has found quite lu-
cratiye position at Roanoke. The HER
AID should be, if IL Is not, weekly visi
tor 10 him.
Miss Pet Racy, pleasant young lady
has left us to make her home with thu
Messrs. Wisslers, of BellefountaIn, Ohio.
With the breaking up Of ground hos
weather many Of our boys will take ther
departure, to follow the trail of the wilt
goose. Joy and the HERALD 20 will
them.
Our schools are somewhat interiere'
with, in the average, by the whooping
cough. The attendance and interest, VIII
one family exception, is quite good.
On Monday last we were visited by IN
County superintendent. His stay no"
ever, with US was very short.
