our naturalization laws should be so
amended as To make the inquiry into the
character and good disposition Of persons
applying for citizenship more careful and
scar, hing. Our existing laws have been
in their administration an unimpres>ive

cept the man as citizen without any
knowledge Of MS fitness. and he assumes
the duties Of citizenship without any know
ledge a. 70 what they are. The privileges
of American citizenship are so great and
it, duties so grave that we may well in
,iSt upon good knowledge of every per
son applying for citizenship, and a good
knowledge by him of our Institutions.
We would not cease to be ho-pltable to
immigration but we would cease to be
careless a. to the character of it, There
are men of all races. even the best. whose
coming is necessarily burden upon our
public revenues, or a threat to social or

cluded.

We have happily maintained policy Of
avoiding all interference with European
affairs. We have been only interested
spectators of their contentious in diplo-
macy and in war, ready to use our friend
ly offices to promote peace, but never OBJ
truding our advice, and never attempting un-
fairly to coin the distresses of other pow
ers into commercial advantage to our
selves. We have just right to expect
that our European policy will be the Amer
ican policy of European courts. 1t is so
manifestly incompatible with those pre-
cautions for our peace and safety, which
all the great Powers habitually observe
and enforce in matters affecting them. that
shorter water way between our eastern
and western sesboards should be domina-

OUR ELECTION LAWS.

II is very gratifying to observe the gen
era interest now being manifested in the
reform Of our election laws. Those who
have been for years calling attention to
the pressing necessity of throwing about
the ballot box and about the elector further
safeguards, in order that the elections might
not only he free and pure, but might clear
" appear to be so, will welcome the ac-
cession of any one who did not so soon
discover the need Of reform. The nation
al Congress has not as yet taken control
of elections in that case over which the
constitution gives it jurisdiction, but has
accepted aud adopted the election laws of
the several States, provided penalties for
their violation and method of supervis-
ion. Only the ineificiency of the State
laws or the unfair or partisan administra-
ton Of them could suggest departure

THE NEW STATES.

II is subject Of congratulation that
there is near prospect Of the admission
into the Union of the Dakotas and Mon
tana and Washington Territories. This
act Of justice has been unreasonably de-
layed in the case of some of them. The
people who have settled tho~e territories
are intelligent, enterpri>ing and patriotic,
and the accession of these new States will
add strength to the nation 1t is due to
the settlers in the Territories who have
avaled themselves of the invitations of our
land laws to make homes upon the public
domain, and their titles should be speedily
adjusted and their honest entries confirm
ed by pitent.

Southern Negroes in Factories.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 2L-The
Tradesman sent inquiries in regard to the
value of negro labor in industrial chan
nels in the South to SEQ leading Southern
manufacturers. representing blast fur
naces, rolling mills. miscellaneous iron
works mines, lumber mills, saw
mills, etc. Replies were received
which represent 900 negro en-
ployes, of which 1900 are skilled. The
average wages paid common negro labor
is S1.10 per day, and skilled labor runs
from 81 - to % % per day, though several
correspondents ray cOlored pUdd!ers.
/ heaters and rollers as high as 81 and 50
per dav, and many furnaces pay as high
as s.. 30. The replies, without a sim
gle exception, show that there is no
difference at all between the pay of
whites and blacks for the same class Of
work. The manufacturers are practically
unanimous in the opinion that for COM
mon labor in the Southern States the
negro is more efficient and useful than the
white and without an exception they de-
clare themselves we'll satisfied with the
negro in the factory.

OREGON DROUGHT.
Hot Winds Dry Up Crops and Rivers in
Oregon and Utah.

Hot Winds Dry Up Crops and Rivers in
Oregon and Utah.
OMAHA. Neb., July 2L-Mr. George Bon
nell, of the Union Pacific railroad, has re-
turned from trip to the Pacific coast He
says that Oregon will have hut half a
crop. The region has been visited by hot
winds from the north. 1t is Que of the
most remarkable facts that has ever been
known in this country and the people out
there do not understand the hot winds
from the north. The drought is also very
bad in parts of Utah. The Provost river
is nearly gone dry and Utah lake is very
low. The Weber river, which leads from
Utah lake to Salt lake, is so narrow that
one can jump across it in places. The
Bear river, though, has an abundance of
water in it, and the Cache valley, on the
Bear river, has a splendid crop prospect.
Not for years Mr.. Bonnell says, has there
been such a disasterous drought in
Oregon, Utah and some other regions of
the Far West It has been very largely
due, it is thought to the scarcity of snow
in the mountains. The streams have not
been fed by netting snow this summer as
they usually are. The snow fall of last
winter was remarkably light over the
Western mountain ranges.

Another Theory Regarding the Edgar T.
Brown Case.
WICHITA, Kan, July 2L-Edgar T.
Brown, the prominent citizen of this place
who so mysteriously disappeared January
10 and as mysteriously reappeared last
Tuesday in rags, seemingly starving and
out of his mind, is perfectly rational, but
refuses to answer any questions concern
ing his absence.
1t was learned that he spent last Sum
day in Arkansas City, and although quite
sick, started to walk to Wichita but
whether he did walk the entire distance
is not known. H was also seen about a
month ago in KIngfsher, Oklahoma, and
a detective named Bridges was about to
arrest him to secure the reward offered
for him when he disappeared entirely
from sight
1t is now surmsed that Brown left this
city to escape the consequences Of an in
discretion committed in Kentucky some
years go and that, as he took with him
to the Territory considerable money and
jewelry, he was held up while there and
received blow which partially dethroned
his reason and threw him into the brain
fever from which he is now recovering.
