The Way to Do It.

1t is said that certain gentleman
in this city will, prior to the elections,
test the county courts right to issue
naturalization papers by bringing the
matter before the federal court in such
way as TO restrain the county clerk
from issuing certificates and declar-
ing void all certificates so issued.
Legal opinion of the first character
says this can be done, and if it is
done, it deals death-blOw to voters
who are imported over the Rio Grande
and qualified for the purpose of sus-
tanning a system that is not according
to the will of the best citizens and is
prejudicial to all.

representatives have been admitted to
see the body, lest an erroneous i'm
preston might be conveyed that there
was something uncanny about his ap-

THE United States senate is getting
down to square business on this
Chinese question. The only way to
keep the Mongolian hordes from over
running this country is to build a
wall of legal restriction horse-high,
hog-low and bull-strong and then
make the penalties for forcing it so
severe that Asiatic foreigners will be
afraid to break through the bounds
set. Our trade with China is not of
sufficient importance to necessitate
the throwing wide the gates of this
nation to the ingress of the Asiatic
hordes which would swarm over our
territory like the locusts of Egypt were
there any opportunity given. Better
lose the whole trade of the Celestial
kingdom than submit to such an in
cursion' of these semi-barbarians.
