Naturalization and bankrupt Laws.

GENERALIZATION and bankrupt Laws.
d, NECESSITY OF REVISION.
Our naturalization laws should be so re-
vised as to make the inquiry into the char
acter and good disposition towards our
government of the persons applying for
citizenship more thorough. This can only
be done by taking fuller control of the ex-
aminations, by fixing the times for hearing
such application and by requiring the
presence of some one who shall represent
the government in the inquiry.
The enactment of national bankrupt
law of character to be a permanent part
OF our general legislation is desirable. It
should be simple in its method and mex
pensive in its administration.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
The subject of an international copy

THE INDIANS.
The report Of the secretary Of the in
terror exhibits the transactions of the gov
ernment with the Indian tribes. Substan-
tial progress has been made in the educa-
tion of the children of school Iage and in
the allotment of lands to the adult Indians.
1t is to be regretted that the policy Of
breaking up the tribal relations and of
dealing with the Indian as an individual
did not appear earlier in our Legislation.
The reservations held in common and the
maintenance Of the authority of the chiefs
and head men have deprived the individual
and the annuity has contributed an affirm.
alive impulse towards a state of confirmed
pauperism. Our treaty stipulatlons should
be observed with fidelity and our legisla-
ton should be highly considerate of
the best interests of an ignorant
and helpless people. The reserva-
tons are now generally surrounded

the Field-rerr:y Tragedy

The Field-Terry Tragedy
WORTHY TIE ATTENTION OF CONGRESS.
The assault made by David S. Terry
upon the person of Justice Field, of the
Supreme court Of the United States, at Cal
3ifornia in August last-and the killing Of
the assailant by deputy United States
marshal who was deputized to protect JUS
tice Field from any attempted violence
suggest questions which in my judgment
are worthy the attention OF. congress. I
recommend that more definite provisions
pc made by law, not only for the prOtec-
ton OF federal officers but for full trial of
such cases in the United States courts.
TO RELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT.
The necessity of providing some more
speedy mode for disposing Of the cases
which now come for final adjudication to;
the supreme court becomes every year
more apparent and there is urgent neces-
sity Of providing some intermediate courts
having final jurisdiction Of certain cases Of
Justice. Without attempting to discus
details recommend that s provisions
should be made for the establ blishment Of
such courts, n 55e
The salaries Of the Judges ot the district
courts In many OF the districts are in my
judgment sinade equate. recommend that
all such salaries now below $5, 900 per
1annum be increased to that amount.

Coast Defense.
WE HAVEN'T ANY.

z 3sJly9s.-fi y WE HAVEN'T ANY.
Judged by modern standards, we are
practically without coast defense. Many
of the structures we now have would en-
hance rather than diminish the perils Of
aggression were we subjected to fire of
Importance, and very few are so located as
to give full effect to the greater Of such
guns as we are now making for coast de-
fense. This general subject has had con-
sideration in congress for some years and
the appropriations for the construction Of
large rifed guns made one year ago was,
1 am sure, the expression Of q purpose to
provide suitable works in which these
now made for that purpose would not ad-
vance the completion Of the works beyond
o@r otrof;6a ability to supply them with fairly
cities against foreign attack should not
rest altogether in the friendly disposition
of other nations. There should be a sec
ond line wholly in our own keeping. I
very urgently recommend an appropriation
for the construction of such works in our
most exposed harbors.

Governor Knapp's Report.

Governor Lyman Knapp of Alaska
in his annual report to the secretary
of the interior says that the number
of natives is about the same as in
1880, while the white population has
increased. He reports that the gov
ernment schools, mission work, etc.,
are influences for good with the ma
tives. The governor calls attention
to the fact that under existing laws
no legal titles to land, except min
eral lands, can be secured by any
process whatever. He dwells upon
the lack of facilities for enforcing the
laws, and says that, after two years
of occupation by the government,
there is, with the exception of twenty
one Russian titles acquired before the
treaty, absolutely no home within the
territory, except the precarious ones
of squatters. He recommends that
commission be appointed to prepare
code of laws for Alaska. Some
idea of the business interests of the
territory-largely fishing and trapping
may be gathered from the fact that
the value of exports during the year
is estimated at 81, ,O25, 900.
OF the condition of the natives he
says that they generally live in COM
Portable houses, some of which are
tidy and attractive, while others reek
with filth and offensive odors. They
are usually free from thieving habits,
but do not stumble at falsehood or
deception. They become devoutly
pious and swear like pirates. Though
the improvement of the moral condi-
ton of these people, he continues,
during the last 10 years has been as
great as could be expected under the
circumstances, it must be admitted
that they have not yet attained to a
state of perfection, and he fears that
those, who assert chastity among
them is only relative term could
easily point out specific examples to
prove their position. The old tribal
relation, he says, has given away
the witch doctor has lost his pres
tige and power, and they live in
better houses and have more of the
of life within them.

The democrats have been very
successful iu the fall elections.
Somehow these fellows have a great
deal of vivacity. Defeated in the
great national contest, they bide
their time and turn out and beat the
sleepy republicans in state elections.
They are much like certain kinds of
reptiles, when their heads are cut off
a new body and tail grows on; when
their tails are cut off a new head
grows on. 1t is always, however, a
good thing in close states to let the
democrats into power in the off year.
Then they are obliged to show their
heads, and they can be beaten both
on their promises and their perform
ances. It is easier to down the
fellows in power than to keep on
your legs against all the bowling and
complaints that can be made against
the party which is in power. Let
the fellows have halter enough and
somebody will get hung.

Republican Reverses.

AS the smoke clears away republi-
cans are found to have sustained de-
feats in important quarters where
dispatches last night appeared to
sustain their claims of victory. They
are beaten in Ohio, both on state
ticket and on the legislature, accord
ing to the latest reports. In Iowa
the belief that the country would
overcome large democratic gains in
the cities have proved fallacious the
Farmers Alliance evidently cast
heavy vote against the entire ticket
because of the republican candidate
for governor, whose course in legis-
lature on anti-railroad measures had
displeased them. The republicans
have saved the Legislature in Iowa
and New York, gained the senate in
New Jersey, and carried state tickets
and legislatures in Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Nebraska. But in
the disputed states the tide ran
strongly in favor of the democrats.
1t is not new or unusual thing to
have republican presidential victo-
ry followed by defeats the next year.
Ohio gave 7,516 republican majority
for president and Pennsylvania H.
964 in 1870; the next year Ohio
gave "a ,520 democratic majority,
and Pennsylvania 1901 the same way.
A host of such illustrations could be
given, and these changes are COM
monty expected by politicions as a
sort of reaction after the effort and
excitement of a presidential year.
But so common have they been that
it has really seemed as if tha people,
with kindly sagacity, deliberately
chose the year after victory to adj
minister to the republican party any
needed discipline, for over-confi-
dence, lack of proper organization or
effort, misconduct of managers, or
any other fault, so that it might
have ample time to correct all short
comings before another National
contest.
When the democrats carry Virgin
ia, or the republicans Nebraska, ssthe

ing; if of $4,000 voters two thirds
are republican, the majority $4,000,
but if half of both parties stay at
home the majority is but 12,5OO,
the relative strength of both parties
is unaltered. Last year, however,
Cleveland carried Virginia by only
1,539; this year the democratic ma
jority against Malone is many thou
sand. Plainly, the antagonism of
genuine republicans to General Ma
hone and his methods was more ex-
tensive than he and his friends repre-
sented. With him at it's head the
republican parry in Virginia cannot
poll its strength. 1t has been hoped
that he and his supposed body of
Confederate supporters, were a, least
able to secure measurably free and
lair vote. When he declares that in
this also he has completely failed
there is no excuse left for regarding
him as the Moses of Republicanism
at the South.
So in Iowa, the republicans had
81 900 majority last year for presi-
dent and state officers. This year
they nominated for governor a can
didate opposed by the Farmers AL
lance, and he appears to have been
defeated. There is not in this the
slightest evidence that the convic-
tions or purposes of the people have
changed. Tribune.

The Twin States.

The two Dakotas were duly pro-
claimed states of the Union on Sat
urday afternoon last, by the presi-
dent, at the same moment. 1t is ex-
planned that the two proclamations
completed. with the exception of the
presidents signature, were spread
upon his desk in the library of the
White House. President Harrison
and an official from the state depart
ment were the only persons present.
The president turned the documents
face downwards and shuffied them SO
their identity was lost. Then all
but the blank spaces left for his sig
nature were covered before they were
turned over, and the president COM
pleted the will of congress, and the
new states took their positions in
the Union. The proclamations were
again turned face downwards and
shuffied, so it was impossible for
either the president or the state de-
partment official to know which state
was admitted first That they are
twins will always remain an undispu
ted fact, and no man can know
which is a moment the oldest or the
Youngest. This is the first pair of
twins admitted to the Union and may
be the last. They are both republi
cans too, and may they happily dwell
side by side. Washington and Mon
tana are held back for a completion
of the preliminary arrangements.

By recent acts of congress, every
male Indian over p years of age,
who accepts an allotment of land in
severalty, becomes a voter. There
will probably be more than 10000
such voters at the next election. We
must cease to quote: ssLo, the Door
Indian, whose untutored mind,'' etc.
Instead, the enfranchised Indian NAV
take his stand proudly by the ballot
box and exclaim, pointing to Clara
Barton or Alice Fletcher, ssLo, the
poor woman who does not know
enough to vote l'' We do not grudge
the Indian his admission to the priv
leges of citizenship. But is there
not something a little inconsistent
about letting in Red Dog and Spotted
Tail, and barring out Julia Ward

The foreign trade of the United
States amounts to about 81 400, ,O0O,-
600 per annum, of which S6.56 per
cent last year went under foreign
flags and 1914 under the stars and
stripes. England, of course, has the
lions share. She paid $3,500,000
last year in mail and naval subsidies
to her steamships lines, and has voted
an increase of 100000 this year.
The United States last year paid to
American steamships for carrying
foreign mails SS9,SO9. This tells
why we have no lines to compete
with those of foreign nations. France
pays subsidies to the line plying be-
Harve and New York, amounting to
S14, 900 per round trip. Italy pays
81 100000 year to the Elorio-R
batino line, and Germany pays ST.
900, 900 year to her Australian line.
The United States on the other hand,
not only pays absolutely nothing in
the way of subsidies, but it even re-
fuses to pay as much porportionately
for carrying mails on ocean as on
river lines. Last year we paid the
Cunard line 81 26 a mile, and the
North German Lloyd 81 05 a mile
for mail service, and at the same
time paid American steamships run
ming to Central and South America
ten cents a mile. The folly of such
a policy is becoming understood by
the people, and they are beginning to
! demand that congress shall act.

The Chinese government has issued
a decree sanctioning the construction
of a line from Peking to Hollow.
"The sovereign is of the opinion,
says the edict, "that to make coun-
try powerful railways are essential"
The chief cause of the great revolu-
tion in the policy of the empire is a
growing dread of invasion, chiefly
from Russia. The line is to be built
in sections, and the money for it will
be raised in small loans as the work
progresses. The world does move
sure.

Emperor Williams visit to Turkey
may not be productive of any espec
ial political result, but it will give
the German Kaiser an excellent op-
portunity to see and be seen by a
strange and curious people. The
young Emperor has already travelled
over a good part of Europe, and has
seen nearly all that there is to be
seen. It is to be regretted that Off
cial etiquette will not permit him to
visit France. Undoubtedly, he would
like to do so. Indeed, he is credited
with a desire to extend his travels
even further-across the Atlantic
Ocean, to behold a nation greater
and more powerful than the triple
alliance. At least, if he comes to
the Uuited States he will be received
heartily, and can see more of new,
strange and wonderful productions
of nature or manufacture than he
could see in years wandering over
Europe, and he can see here enough
Germans to make him feel at home.

The women of Kansas do not
mean to be left in the background.
They have put prohibition in the con-
stitution; they have full municipal
and school ballot, education in its
state university, and the number of
women preachers, doctors and law
yers is larger than in any other state.
The assistant attorney-general is a
woman, and women are farmers,
bankers, and county school superin-
tendents, editors, printers and mer-
chants. Women serve on the school
boards in every county, and there
are women treasurers of school
boards, superintendent of schools,
register of deeds, and at Cottonwood
Falls the police justice is woman.

The New York Wine and Spirit
Gazette, in its issue just before the
state election, came out strong for
the democracy and said: ''Let every
liquor dealer see to it that his friends

port and work for the democratic
candidates for the senate and assem-
bly,, and we shall have a legislature
which will be in harmony with public
sentiment in this state on the reeula-
tion of the liquor traffic" The whis-
key people did ego to the polls and
support and work for the democratic
candidates, and though they fell
short of capturing the legislature
they did lessen the republican ma
jOrity. And in this work they had
of course, the additional advantage
of the active cooperation of the
third party prohibitionists.

When Hinton Rowan Helper pre-
dicted "the Impending Conflict" he
was laughed at for his predictions,
but it came nevertheless. just as he
said it would. He was called Wis
ionary when he projected a gigantic
scheme for railroad along the back
bone of the continent from Behring's
Straits to Cape Horn. But that pro-
ject is being talked about more and
more seriously, and separate roads
that may serve as portions of the
whole are being built and added to,
until now it is scarcely hazardous to
predict that the child already born
will ride from the Arctic to the Ant
arctic zone without changing cars.
The proposition does not seem half
so visionary now as it did 20 years
ago. Twenty years hence it will not
seem visionary at all.
