In spite of the great progress of Mexico, there
are probably fewer foreigners naturalzed in our
sister republic than almost anywhere In the civil
lied world According to report just issued
by the Mexican State Department, only 2,O44 for
eigners have become citizens in sixty-three years.
More than half of these were Spaniards and of the
remainder LAG were Americans. 1t is worthy of
note, however, that the majority of the letters
Of naturalization have been taken out since Gen
eral dag became President, which affords con-
vlncing proof of the increasing stability of Mexico
under his efficient administration.

The Improvement which the Long Island Rail

plainly be in the interest of the general public
ard no reason is apparent why the city authori-
ties should hesitate TO bestOw their approval upon
IT, The company proposes to elevate its tracks
for passenger business from Vanderbiltave. to
Flatbusl-ave., where they will be on the level Of
the Union Elevated road, and enable passengers
70 mike the transfer from one TO the other with
case and celebrity. 1t would be an excellent thing
II the tracks could be removed from the surface
Of this avenue altogether, and it ought TO be done
depressed road would be the ideal solution of the
Atlantic-ave question, but the enormous cost pro-
hIbits il, though the company is hopeful that by
and-by the city may be induced to share the ex-
pense. An elevated road from South Ferry to
East New-York seemed few months ago In fair
way Of being built, but apparently insuperabie
obstacles unexpectedly arose. The raising of the
tracks for q half dozen blocks will he public
gain that the city is bound to promote by every
means in its power.

Mr.. Justice Blatchford takes a mild view OF
the prolonged series of appeals in behalf Of the
four murderers executed yesterday, and ex-
presses qualification that every possible chance
of life was afforded TO the condemned men.
Certainly convicted murderer is entitled to a
fair chance to secure new trial or even a
longer lease of life. but it taxes the peoples
patience severely when appeal after appeal is
made on frivolous pretexts and for TO other
reason than delay. But Justice Batchford's
moderate expression is not likely to lead the
counsel of other men under sentence of death
TO adopt tactics similar b those which called
out the recent rebuke Of the Court Of Appeals.

The returns Of the decennial census taken by
the British Government in April last show that
while the population Of Scotland has increased
from 1,60S,4o0 in 1901 to 4,0331O3 in 1891
chat Of ireland Is almost million smaller than it
was at the beginning Of the century. These
figures are all the more remarkable when it is
remembered that Ireland is considerably larger
IN area and immessurably superior in agricultural
and mineral wealth TO bleak and barren Scot
land with it's huge tracts Of land incapable Of
producing anything save the National thistle
Yesterday in commenting on the unsatisfactory
showing Of the census in England and Wales we
pointed out that the growth Of a population
affords the surest gauge of the progress of
National prosperity. The comparison between
the growth Of the Scotch population, and the
decline Of that of Ireland will furnish food for
grave and serious reflection to the English Gov
eminent. and create sorrow and sympathy in the
hearts of all friends Of Erin on this side of the
ocean
