dispatch of business, which have been so
heartily condemned by the Dsmocratic
party.
The adherence to the old rules by the
Senate and the adoption Of the new ones
by the lower House. with the contrasting
consequences. is itself an issue upon which
the Republican party can well afford 70 go
before the country. In nearly or quite all
Of their conventions the Democrats have
taken ground against the new and in favor
of the antiquated system. They have de-
clared for the system which consumes
time in interminable discussion of ques-
tons upon which all concerned have ire
versibly made up their minds, and which
affords widest range for obstructive tao
tics. The other course ''means business. !"
The chances are that all of the measures
which have been most extensively de-
bated will be settled. If at all, by COM
promises, and in a manner that will satisfy
neither side to the controversy; thus max
ing il certain that they will be brought up
again and again. Thus in respect to those
measures the country will be Kept in
feverish state, business will be unsettled.
and the public welfare viii suffer. 1t were
better that all such questions should be
settled. definitely and positively, one way
or the other. than TO perpetuate this con-
dition of suspense and unrest.
For these reasons il is believed that the
country, II the issue can be squarely made,
will demand adherence to the so-called
Reed rules by the House and their adop-
ton by the Senate. Then both houses will
understand what is expected of them, will
settle down to business, and We shall have
business, less talk and less confusion.

tain sense a clerk, not fully meeting the re-
quirements of the law of Congress- These
two decisions of Judge Webb show that be-
fore the competency or incompetency Of a
municipal court to naturalize can be deter
mined, the construction of the particular
court in all its details must be inquired into
One municipal court may be competent,

decision will be sustained by the court of

privileges Of citizens in this country for
years past who have not been entitled to
them. 1t is altogether improbable that only
In this State have incompetent courts been
engaged in the business of naturalization.
Indeed, since the question was raised here.
it has been discovered that several courts in
Massachusetts, constituted like our Bidde-
ford court, have been making citizens, and
search would undoubtedly reveal similar
cases in many other States. If the discov-
cry of these illegal naturulizations would
work merely the temporary disfranchise-
ment of considerable number of people,
the result would not be very serious, but it
is liable also to affect property rights. The
only power that can cure these defective
naturalizations, they can be cured, is Con-
gress The courts can not do it, neither
can the State legislatures.

In private business establishments the pro

In private business establishments the pro
motion, when opportunity occurs, of men
who have demonstrated their capacity is the
rule. In public offices 1t is rather the excer-
ton, though since civil service reform has
taken firm root in the country there has been
stronger tendency in that direction. If
such promotions are good business policy in
private establishments, and they undoubtedly
are, they are just as good in public establish
ments. Therefore the City Council is to be
congratulated on adopting a sound business
policy, as we'll as upon doing justice to a
faithful and capable public servant, in elect
ing Mr.. George FL. Libby to the position
made vacant by the death of Mr.. II. w. Her
sey. 1t is to be hoped that this election has
established precedent which will be fol-
lowed in the future.

Another Decision Regarding Natural
iZatIon.

In an opinion given on Saturday, Judge
Webb of the United States District Court,
declared that the Lewiston Municipal Court
had about it all the elements which the law
OF Congress declares court shall possess in
order to the competent to naturalize aliens,
and therefore that declaration made before
1t OF intention to become citizen was valid.
1t will be remembered that Judge Libbey of
the Supreme Court Of this State had ex-
pressed doubt as to its competency. The only
difference between the Lewiston court. and
the Biddeford court which Judge Webb held
was not competent to naturalize, is that the
former has clerk, distinctly created bv
statute, while the latter has no clerk. Asre-
CARDS being courts of common law jurisdic-
ton and courts of record, there is no essen
tial difference. Judge Webb holds that they
are both courts of record, and that they
have common law jurisdiction, and in these
respects both meet the requirements of the
law of Congress. But that law expressly de-
clares that court in order to be competent
to naturalize. must have clerk. In this re-
spect the Judge holds that the Lewiston court
complies with the law. while the Biddeford
court does not, recorder, though in GER

If Boss German of Maryland had been
given carte blanche to frame an cleo
Ion law he could not have con-
structed one that would facilitate
the peculiar political methods of himself
and his ilk more than the one that has just
been passed by the Maryland legislature.
BY this measure, humorously called reform
law, every voter except those who speak
English as their native tongue is to be permit
ted to take friend" into the polling booth
with him to assist him In marking the ballot.
Undoubtedly very large per cent of the
element German relies upon in Baltimore
do not speak English as their native
tongue. So that all that is necessary for the
Boss in order to enable him to control this
class more completely than ever before is for
him to select the friend" to assist in mark
ing the ballot-a matter of no great difficulty.
Itmay be that some of the legislators who
helped pass this law sincerely believed that
they were advancing the cause of ballot re-
form, but the most of them probably didn't
entertain any such delusion. What they
expected was that there would be enough
show OF reform In it to satisfy public cla,eor,
but.not enough OF. the substance to materially
interfere with the success of the methods by
which Maryland has for many years been
kept in the Democratic column. Their sec
ond expectation will undoubtedly be realiz-
ed. Whether the first will be will depend
upon the sincerity of the clamor and the
acuteness of the perception of the men who
made 1t.

The protest made by Representative Bou-
telle and others in the House on Saturday
against allowing the sale of alcoholic liquors
in the 'canteen" ought to be needed. The
Republican party is committed by its nation
al platform to the promotion of temperance
reform. The establishment Of 'canteen"
authorized to deal out intoxicating liquors to
the soldiers of the regular army is inconsist-
emit with this platform. Congress has COM
plete control of this ''canteen" system, and
the majority of the representatives in Con-
gress are Republicans. Therefore the Re-
publicans cannot evade the responsibility,
II they want to. All the benefits which are
expected to flow from the establishment Of
the "canteen" can be obtained without TAX
ing the risk of the evils which may spring
from the sale in them of intoxicating
liquors. The soldier who can be kept in the
army only by supplying him with gin and
whiskey or beer had better be allowed to
desert. The army will be better off in the
longrun with such soldier out of it than
in IL.

Doubtless hurricanes such as that which
swept over Louisville are controlled by mex
orable laws, but what they are nobody has
yet found out But this much is known,
that these storms are confined to
level sections of country, and that
billy sections, especially when well
wooded, are free from wind storms of great
violence. The Louisville storm differed in
no essential particular from storms that visit
the prairies every year. except in the amount
Of destruction which 1t caused, and that was
merely an accident; that is to say, there hap

proposition is before the Massachu-
sets legislature to reduce the number of Ii
censed liquor saloons In Boston one half,
apropos of which the Boston Advertiser re-
marks that 1.-THE working OF the present law,
as enforced, does not suppress the unli-
censed liquor shop, and no sane person can
imagine that to reduce the number of licens-
es by half would help in that direction"
Here is strong conformation of what the
PRESS said the other day that the difficulty
Of expressing the saloon is by no means re-
moved by permitting certain number of
saloons to exist-in other words a restricted
prohibition, like that which pertains to a
license law,works no more satisfactorily than
the general prohibition of prohibitory law.
And this proposition to reduce the number
OF licensed saloons in Boston, instigated as it
said to be, by the hope of making the liquor
interests solid for the Democratic party goes
to confirm another thing that the PRESS said,
namely, that license has no tendency to take
the liquor question out of politics, or curtail
the activity or influence of the rum power.

The defalcation of State Treasurer Archie

The defalcation of State Treasurer Archer,
OF Maryland, which is alleged TO
amount to over 100000. is said to
be a great shock to the community
as he was man of the highest responsibility
and had been honored with all sorts of Of
fees. Speculation in gas stocks proved his
ruin. The laws of Maryland, allowing as
they do the investment of the states funds
in almost anything that the treasurer may
approve, give abundant opportunities for
stealing, and it is wonder that they haven't
been improved before this.
