In view of recent occurrences it
would seem proper that a law should
be enacted compelling all foreigners
who come to this country with the
intention of engaging in business,
in any capacity, to renounce ale
giance to their former country and
make application for citizenship in
our own. At first glance such a
law woald appear to be unnecessarily
harsh; but it isn't. It's opponents
will charge that it will restrict immi-
grafton, and it will; and that is just
what this country has got to do
sooner or later, the sooner the bet
ter, and in what better way can it be
done than by compelling all foreign
ers DESTROYS of enjoying the advan-
tages of living in this country to
declare their intention of becoming
American citizens?

IT is almost impossible to tell this
far ahead who the candidates for
president of either of the great part

G. Blaine will not positively decline
the honor, it will be almost an i'm
possibility to defeat him for the
Republican nomination next year.
The American people recognize his
wonderful ability and experience
and his party loves him for the
enemies he has made. He is the
one American of all others who can
command the respect of all classes
of whatever nationality. The exper-

shown the people the mistake they
made in defeating him in 1884, and

MILTON.

Mr.. Samuel Gosiee, of Milton, departed
this life on Monday morning, April 9,
1891, aged "a years, II months and %
days. The following obituary was re-
ceived last week, but for lack of space
was carried to this week:
Mr.. Goslee was converted at Zoar
camp meeting in 1898, and became a
member of the NJ F. Church. In 1883
he removed to Milton. He was twice
married-frst to Miss Hettie Veasy, on
ocsober 90, 1916, and last 10 Miss Mary
Simpler. on January 2, 1867. The iesult
of the first union was two daughters
both of whom survive-Mrs David II.
Atkins, OF wilmington, and Mrs, James
H. Warrington, Of Milton. He was the
last surviving charter member Of Golden
Rule Lodge, No. II I. o. Q. f., which
was instituted in 1913, and had filed all
the Offices within the gift Of the lodge.
In the church he was member, exhorterj
Sunday School teacher and class leader,
and while making no pretentioHs to lit
erary, his christian zeal and quiet, unob-
trusive ways were the admiration Of the
community. Many men now occupying
high stations in life, can recall his voice
as their teacher as they satas scholars on
the rustic benches Of the old NJ +. Churh
in Milton. Hon. Joseph Carey, .. S.
Senator from Wyoming, is one OF themi
DIR. Iohn CareY, of the same place, is ans
other; DR.. WEIGH, of New Jersey, and the
Rev. ia. B. Wilson, D. D., are others !;
and many more who will mourn The de-
mise of the deceased, as though he were
their own father. His life was serene,
though lab6rious, aud his death was as
peaceful as his. life had been beautiful
We cannot close this poor tribute to
a much esteemed man, than BY quoting
The language Of Balaarn, the son Of ReoT,
Get me die the death Of the righteous
andlet my last end be like His"
