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 in
tention of engaging in business, in
any capacity, to renounce allegiance
to their former country and make ap-
plication for citizenship in our own.
At first glance such a law would ap-
pear to be unnecessarily harsh, but it
isn't. Its opponents will charge that
it will restrict immigration, and it will
and that is just what this country has
got to do sooner or later, the sooner
the better, and in what better way
can it be done than by compelling all
foreigners DESTROYS of enjoying the
advantages of living in this country
to declare their intention of becoming
American citizens?

penitentiaries, and subvert good gov
As we write it is said that
a large number of Hungarian brigands
are on their way, and also over 400
Sicilians, who are leaving home for
their countries good. Some day per-
haps, when it is too late. these Grimm
ais and their criminal progeny may
make it exceedingly uncomfortable
for us. We have talked of this thing
for years. Action is better late than
never. Our Consuls and other public
officers abroad should be commanded
to look strictly to the matter, and held
to account for their action, and officers
at our home ports should be held to
the strictest accountability for theil
action.

New York Sun: Aboard the Thing
valla Line Steamship "Hecla," that
arrived at this port Sunday, there were
| 700 Scandinavian immigrants, healthy
hearty, pithy and ight-haired young
people of both sexes. They were
bound for the West, the far West, ev,
en- for Dakota, where they will take ur
land and begin new life as American
farmers, raising grains, fruits and cat
tie for their own nourishment and fol-
the service of mankind. They were
well and warmly dressed as they
marched ashore, and they looked as
though they possessed all necessary
sense, reason, and practical qualities.
There were among them no paupers,
or felons, Or lunatics, or contract lab
orers, Or persons afflicted with loath-
some diseases, it was hardly necessary
for the inspection agents at the Barge
Office to take look at them in order
to see that they belonged to the class
known as desirable immigrants.'
They had come to America as humid
reds of thousands Of other Swedes
and Norwegians have come during the
past forty years; they have struck out
West to take lands as those others did
and they are pretty sure of enjoying
the prosperity that so many of thei,
countrymen already enjoy here. TIC
them let bountiful nature give good
crops, fine breeds of cattle, and pleas
ant long lives.
Now, if a1 ous immigrants from
Europe, including those from Italy
Poland, Hungary, and Russia, were
as spirited as these Scandinavians, anc
would follow their example, how much
better it would be for them than
crowding into cities, struggling fol
daily hash and spending years il
complaining.

Some people say that if President
Harrison could meet people in the
White House with as good effect as
he can make speeches from the rear
end of a railroad train he would grow
in popularity. Why wouldn't it be a
good idea for the President to have a
Pullman car run into the back yard
SO that he could spend an hour or two
each day Sundays excepted) on its
tail-end platform? Will the Pullman
car take the place for Benjamin that
the log cabin did for his grandfather,
William Henry? Hardly.

Next Friday is Arbor day, let it be

Next Friday is Arbor day, let it be
remembered. And in this connection
we quote what our friend J. O. Barrett,
secretary of the Forestry AS ISOLATION,
says in regard to that day: Our beau
tiful forest festival the LIST of May, is
close at hand. Let us respect his ex-
cellency, Gov. W. r. Merriam, by OBJ
serving it with tree planting in our
fields, in our lawns, around all our
buildings, in our cemeteries to hallow
the memories of the dear departed,
along OUR streets for protective shade
and healthfulness. Plant one tree, at
least, and care for it as your own, and
thus build for posterity. Those en-
gaging in this beneficial work in any
part of our state will please report the
number and variety of trees, and where
planted, to me.

There is a good deal of truth in the
following: A physician who under
stands human nature, who plays with
the baby, makes friends with the
children and listens to the woes of the
good wife and mother, says medical
journal, is the fellow to whom the
master of the house most cheerfully
pays the largest bills. 1t isn't the
medicine that is bottled up, but it's
the comfort and consolation that are
unbottled that mark the broad line
between an unsuccessful and popu-
lar physician.

The MINNEAPOLIS Times has the fol

The Minneapolis Times has the fol-
lowing on ''Cleveland and Silver: 1t
may be that Grover Cleveland has
seen great awakening light on the
silver question. His denials and criti~
cisms of the Stephens interview am
cunt only to this, that he didn't know
Stephens was loaded for publication.
Of course it is not safe to assume that
Mr.. Cleveland has two sets of opinions
on the silver question, one for the
public and another for his old friends
from the western part Of the state.
The New York Sun recently said that
Grover was a nihiGst on the silver
question. But he has progressed. He
is now no worse than an agnostic.
This is substantial if not statesman
like growth.

Rev. Fred H Wines, special agent of the
census office, presents some curious statis-
tics regarding criminals in a bulletin re-
Gently issued. He shows that of As, 233
prisoners in pe~nitentiaries, SO were not
sentenced. 2,4e6 were serving sentences of
less han l year. 89,757 had been SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for a definite term
of years, 2,6Ss for life, 10 during their
minority, and 02 were under sentence Of
death and awaiting execution.
Where sentence for q definite term of
years is pronounced, the most common
sentence is found to be for 2 years, and
then, in the order stated, for 8, 8, /, 10, z
and 9 years. Nearly seven-eighths of all
penitentiary sentences fall under one OF
these 8 varieties. There are reported 1sQ
sentences of 80 years INT over, of which 90
are for 80 years. The number of Traction.
al" sentences is also shown, which was
1850; and taking them into the account, the
total duration of imprisonment for not
less than l year, but less than for life,
ordered by the courts, was 225, 210 years
and 5 months The average term of sem
tence, therefore, is . years and go days.
A tendency to greater severity Of sem
tence is apparent in the south and west.
The average sentence of a native white
convict, of native parents, is 5years and 206
days; of a foreign born convict. 8 years and
1893 days, and of a colored convict, 9 years
and 1888 days. The average sentence of a
male convict is 8 years and 295 days, and of
a female convic 4 years and 215 days. The
differences between the average sentences
in different states are a surprise. They
range from 2 years and $50 days in Rhode
Island to IL years and 116 days in Missis-
sippi, and seem to be governed by no dis
coverable law.

AdmIre, American Beauty.

HARTFORD, Conn. Sept. 24-Infor'
nation comes from Homburg that Miss
Colt, once a famous beauty OF this city, is
receiving marked attention from the
Prince of Wales at the great German
watering place. Miss Colt, her mother
and stepfatber, Madmid Markham, have
been travelling in Europe for several
months. In 1889 Miss Colt cut quite a
figure in social circles in Binghampton. it
being given out that she was the fiancee
of G. Harry Lester. He had purchased
a magnificent residence and furnished it
luxuriously. The most elegant receptions
we're given in honor Of MI. Lester and his
distinguished guests. aud no money or
pains we're spared in making their visit to
Binghampton a memorable one. Time
went on. but still no marriage occurred,
and finally Miss Colt and her mother dis.
appeared. Society people here were
struck dumb with the turn of events, and
much charmed at what they term was a
base deception practiced upon them. Miss
Colt, with her mother and stepfather,
now turns up in Europe, and the press
of a few days ago tell of her
great social success and marvellous beauty.

Father of rhirty-ave children.

When pessimists descant on low birth
rates and unsatisfactory increase of popu-
lation they should have their attention
called to a Canadian instance. The Rev.
Able Plinguet, cure of Isle du Pads, in
Lower Canada, who has just died, was the
son of a French Canadian farmer, who had
no less than thirty-ive children. This
record it would be hard to beat outside OF
polygamous countries. Mr.. Plinguet's
first wife brought him twenty-seven and
his second brought him eight. One of the
first family reached the age of ninety-four,
and the able, who was the eldest of the
second family, was eighty-one. Only one
of the whole number now survives. an off
cial of the Montreal court house. He is the
youngest of all-No. Sand has reached
the age of seventy-two.

Thousands in HIS Trunk.

MoRENoI, Mich. Sept. 24.-There
died a few days ago. at the advanced age
of 50, an eccentric old bachelor named
Josiah Mason. For years he had lived
zeal the Angola road, about twenty miles
south of Morenci, on the Ohio state line.
He was misery in his nature and known
to keep a little money about him, but
what was the surprise of his relatives, On
opening his trunk. to find therein 81, zoe
in gold and $4,000 in greenbacks, also
about $4,000 worth Of mortgages. One
of his peculiarities was to lend money on
first mortgages on farm property and he
would never take more than the legal
rate, claiming that a higher rate wa.
usury and unlawful. After making
several special requests to friends who had
kindly cared for him In his old age be
divided the balance Of his wealth among
his relatives, of which there are about
twenty. He was a Quaker and died il
the faith.
