Italian desperadoes who land in this
country and are at once or in few years ele-
waited to the privileges of American citizen
ship under the lax naturalization laws of the
various states. ought to feel gratitude enough
TO behave themselves. In Italy citizenship,
in the sense that includes the privilege of
voting and holding Office, is a prize that few
attain. Out of population of 10000 900
people there are in Italy but ,50O, GOO electors
To become voter in Italy one must be a
payer of direct taxes and possess certain
amount of education. For instance, If a
workingman in Italy wishes to become a
voter he must have a certificate of the parish
school that he has certain degree of educa.
tlon, or he must pass an examination. BE
must also draw up before notary his de.
mand for place on the voting lists. The
result is that comparatively few working
men have as yet attained the suffrage. In
the education of the masses Italy is very
backward. Probably fifty per cent of hel
population are illiterate. 1t is said that il
Turin, one Of the most advanced of the
cities, only about 300 out of sixty thousand
workingmen are on the voting lists. In this
country 1t is regarded as an oppressive idea

Ignorant men, who in their own country
have been brought up to have no part in
their government. and hence are all the
more anxious to assume the management of

who were lynched were leading political
lights In the local affairs. Not only intelli.
gence but practice are needed TO make man

The Bangor Commercial always has some
thing to say about the alleged ''quietness"
and "unprogressiveness" of Portland. We
do not wish to disparage Bangor or her citl-
zens. Both the city and her citizens are
ornaments of which Portland. in company
with all the rest Of Maine are proud. But
we think 1t little boyish for the CONNER
cial to be continually reminding its readers
that Bangor is very active and smart place,
great contrast to Portland, which they rep
resent to be sleepy and unprogressive. We
think comparison of the growth of Bangor

The Argus resurrects an editorial written
by Horace Greeley in 1860 In which he rec
commended that the seeding states be allowed
to depart in peace. Its purpose is to convict
the Republicans of that period of RESPONSE
bility for the war. Its argument we give in
its own words:
In 1860 the New York Tribune was the recog-
niZed organ of the Republican party in This conn
try. Its editor was Horace Greeley. On the 9th
Of November. 1850, Mr.. Greeley printed in the
Tribune an editorial, which he afterwards pub.
lished In his history Of the war, the american

first answer was that Republicans as well a,
Democrats were guilty, inasmuch as the
Southern voters for Bell and Everett sprapp

they were Republicans. Driven from this po

claims that Republicans were responsible fol
the war because Mr.. Greeley, one of theil
prominent editors, taught the South to be

AProtest from China.

Washington, April 29.-The Chinese
government has notified the govern
ment of the United States of its unwill-
ingness to receive ex-senator Henry w.
Blair of New HAMPSHIRE as United
States minister to China. Not long ago
a petition was presented to President
Harrison, signed practically by all the
Chinese of San Francisco, asking him to
reconsider the appointment of ex-Sena-
tor Blair to the Chinese mission. The
Chinese objection to Blair is on account
of his anti-Chinese speeches in the sem
ate. Mr.. Blair is still an avowed oppon-
ent of Chinese immigration.
Ex-senator Blair is now on his way to
San Francisco, to sail for China to as
sumo his new duties. He was inter-
viewed in Pittsburg last night, but at
that time he had not heard OF the pro-
test of the Chinese government
In Chicago to-day Mr.. Blair said he
had no official notice OF the protest ana
did not believe there haG been any. Ii
he heard nothing from Washington t o
morrow he should leave Chicago for
San Francisco He continued II
don't think of course that there is any
GOOD reason why China should object to
me. Neither do | believe the Chinese
government thinks so. During my SER
vice in congress whatever [ did. did
from conviction. Whatever L did In
the matter OF Chinese immigration also
received the endorsement OF the gov
eminent and the government is respon-
sible, not II personally. 1t is in
credible that any nation would seek to
enforce personal liabilities, especially
at this late day"
Chinese Minister Yen said to-day
that he had received a cablegram from
the Chinese foreign Office which he was
instructed to lay before Secretary
Blaine without delay, expressing the
unwillingness of the emperor to receive
Mr.. Blair Other than this MIR. Yen
hrd received no instructions, written or
otherwise, from his government npon
the subject. The minister conveyed the
impression that he had simply stated
facts to his government, and aside from
that had not sought to influence its de-
cision either favorably to the senator or
unfavorably. The proceeding is not
very unusual one, and cannot be con-
strued as indicating an unfriendly feel
ing toward this government.
