THE Capital Idea of Sprinfeld, is al
ready looking ahead to the state cam
paigns of S9O and '92. 1t predicts that
Hon. John X. Tanner will be the next
republican candidate for stats treasurer.
and that he will be nominated for gov
ernor In 1892. The Idea favors the nom
ination OF Hon. John G. Campbell. OF
Streator. for state treasurer on the dem.
ooratic ticket, with Prof. Henry Raab. OF
Belleville, as his associate for the office of
superintendent OF public instruction.
This would be good ticket, surely. and
one which every democrat in the state
would take pleasure 10 supporting.

Our Naturalization Laws a Little Too Lii
for nrr

Our Naturalization Laws a Little Too Lib
eral for Our Good.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb, l4.-Oates, in re-
porting the Oates naturalization bill to the
house yesterday, accompanied it with re-
port from the committee urging its passage.
Existing law, the report says, allows any
alien on his arrival N this country, though
wholly illiterate and grossly ignorant Of its
laws and institutions, TO declare his inten'
ton to become a citizen of the United States
and to renounce allegiance to any foreign
power, and particularly to that one to which
he then owes allegiance. No proof whatever,
not even his own GA th, Is required to show
that he is a fit or pre- per person to become a
citizeu He may be notorious thief, muir
derer, outlaw, Anarc mist, polygamist, leper,
or hardened criminal, and yet our law allows
him, by making this affidavit before
clerk Of the court ian obliga-
ton which such character would
regard as a mere porm and not binding),
practically all the benefits of citizenship
within the United Suites In some instances
aliens owing military service to their native
countries come TO the United States and re-
main until they are naturalized, then return
to their native land where they reside in
definitely, owing it no allegiance, but claim
ing protection Of the United States, while
rendering them no Sc vice. This and similar
practices have involved this government in
complications abroad which caused Presi-
dents Arthur and Cleveland respectively to
recommend to congress the revision of our
naturalization laws.
There is nothing In the law, says the re-
port, to deny citizer ship even to idiots, in
sane, peupers, Grimm ais or others who have
come into the United States in fragrant VIC
lation of our immie ration laws, 1t Is an
anomaly and utter incongruity that sub
ject of foreign government can come into
the United States against their will and in
violation Of their law and then after a resi-
dence of five Yeas, it may be upon
a homestead which the United States
gives him upon the public domain,
he can prove by his own oath that dur
ing the last year of his residence he has be
haved as a man Of good moral character
attached to the prime piles of the constitution
of the United States, and we'll disposed to
the good order and happiness OF the same,
and thereupon be adjudged a citizen and
clothed with all the honor and benefits in
cident thereto.
The bill reported, the committee think
will, if it become G law, remedy the evils
above referred to and perhaps others no,
named, and will do no injustice to any one
and impose no hardship upon the honest
alien emigrant who IS worthy of becoming G
citizen.
