1t is gratifying to observe that oc-
casionally citizenship in this coun-
try is placed at its proper value by
courts empowered 10 bestow it.
Greater care in this respect would
infinitely benefit the republic. In
Plttsburg, a few days ago, Judge
Ewing refused citizenship to ten ap-
plicants because of their failure to
prove good characterize also com
mitted another impertinent appli-
cant to Jail for contempt in presum-
ing to question the courts attitude
with regard to the legality of his
first papers. In the case of another
man who had resided in the United
States for twenty years without be-
coming naturalized, and who only
applied at this late day because
some one else had agreed to pay the
necessary fees, the judge remarked
with great emphasis that "a man
who is too mean to pay for the rights
of citizenship is not entitled to
them.
The same spirit displayed by all
courts issuing naturalization papers
would have the effect of raising the
standard of citizenship. Its privil-
eyes and benefits are now held far
too lightly. The indiscriminate
manufacture OF American citizens
out of what too often proves to be
the worst material that other nations
can supply is both demoralizing and
disastrous to the interests and insti-
tutions of the United States. The
more judges there are who act as
Judge Ewing did, the better it will
will be for the nation.

FOR THE ~E~NTI,

In our opinion the people could
not select two men who would better
represent this state than Thomas IL
Brents and Watson C. Squire.
MIR. Brents, while our delegate IN
congress was alive to all the interests
and wants of this territory, He
proved himself in every way quail
fed for the position. No need Of the
territory escaped his notice, and 1t Is
due to him as much as any man the
fact that We are about to be admitted
as state, for ne labCred diligently
to secure our admission and his en-.
dsavors paved the way for the tin-l
consummatIon of that object. In
Dir. Brents the people would have Il
man that they could depend upon;
q man who would not be the tool Of
any ring, clique or corporation, but Il
man who would be the servant OF the
people. His every act would be with
desire to DO what lay i'll his power
to benefit and advance this comua-
nifty. Mr.. Brents Is man whose
character is above reproach. Our
people conld not add more honor to
their state than by eIecting Nh.
Brents to the senate.
Watson e. Squire, as governor of
this territory made for himself a
name which proved that he is a man
OF marked ability. Should the peo-
pie of the state of Washington have
the foresight to elect him they will
ind that the selection vas wise and
ludicious one. Mr.. Squire undoubt-
edIy would be the hight man in the
right place. He has large inter
ssts in the territory and is thor
oughly identified with our people III
all the questions effecting their pros
perity. In Brents and Squire We
would have two able advocates
Men. who would not permit
sn opportunity to pass when
the welfare of this community
was at stake. A number of men
have been mentioned for the United
States senate, but none of them in
our judgment merit the considera,
ton of the people SO much as the
gentlemen that we have named
Their knowledge of public matters
makes them at once the men fitted
for the position and we trust that
they will receive the support Of the
people.

The photographers of the coun-
try are about to form trust. They
have 10000 members and 100000
in their treasury. In order to head
off the howl that would otherwise go
up from the young women of the
dramatic profession upon the re-
ceipt of this intelligence it may be
stated right here that the photogra-
piers combine is going to operate
in a very peculiar manner. Prices
are to be reduced to a ridiculously
low figure in order to drive out of the
business all those who refuse to join
the association. While this driving
is being done it will be in order to

a TALK WITH GABRIEL DUMoNT.
He Is Organizing a Band of Indians for

ant under the late Louis Reil, was
interviewed by a correspondent at
Fort Benton on the 21st inst Napo-
leon Neault, bright young French
man. who has been with him since
1885, accompanied him as interpreter.
Dumonts knowledge of the English

cally denies that he was on n mission
to organize a force of Indians and
halfbreeds to aid the Crees at Bato-
che In another uprising against the
canadian government. When he
was at Montreal he made arrange
ments with Partisan gentlemen to
furnish him with one hundred half
breeds and Indians, and one hundred
and twenty ponies, for exhibition at
the Paris exposition. His object in
coming to Montana is to complete his
selection OF men and horses.
He has filled the company with
Crees and halfbreeds that he found
on Milk river, and will leave with
them as soon as he gets an answer to
cable message sent to Paris.
He does not think the Batoche half
breeds will create any further trouble
with the Canadian government, not
with his consent, anyhow. He be-
lieves that the Canadian government
is unjust to them. He believes and
says their wrongs cannot be redress.

OUR NEW NAVY.

If the United States government
keeps on there are several hundred
newspapers in this great American
nation that will have to find some
subject other than our navy to growl
at before very long. There is every
indication that we will soon have a
navy of which We might be proud.
Besides these impregnable iron war
ships lately built, and those in the
course of construction of three new
steel cruisers, under the provisions of
the act OF congress approved on the
7th of last September. The dimen-
sions OF these vessels will be 257 by
~ feet, their depth 10 feet inches,
and their displacement about 1000
tons. Each of them will carry rapid
fire guns. their complete armament
being 2 six>inch and 4 eight-Inch
brsech loading rifles, two six-pound-
ers, two three-pounders, two revolv-
ing cannon, and perfected gatling
gun. There will also be six torpe-
do guns, and complete outfit for the
launching and firing of these shells.
With Accommodations for 1S5 officers
and men, available room for 4S5 tons
Of coal, and the most complete IL a
chinsry of. modern times, they will
prove a powerful addition to our
growing navy, and assist in increas-
ing the respect with which the Uni
ted States is regarded by other ma
tions.

of the tremendous effort that was re-
quired to dispose fitly of Bartholdi's
magnificent statue of Liberty" after
it was given to that city, Lord Cover
requested Mrs. Leslie to present his

The Paris exposition, as was pre-
dicted, is still il a chaotic state, and
it will be several weeks before even
the main exhibits are completed.
This slowness and lack of system are
in striking contrast to the order and
regularity shown at the centennial
exhibition i'll Philadelphia. There,
after the tirs; week, everything ran
like clock work and the only thing
which was defective was the arrange
ments for swift transportation of Wis,
itors to and from Philadelphia.
