The refusal Of Judge Robinson, of Olym
pia, to naturalize "a applicants who could
neither read nor write or understand the
English language, lends a new dignity and
value to the citizenship Of every man.
Each of these applicants, in order to per-
feet his citizenship, must have been in the
country at least five years, and yet he had
not manifested interest enough in it to
learn its language. He could know but
little about its institutions, and evidently
cared but little about them. If he knew
what a vote meant he certainly was not
qualified to use it. The fault was wholly
his own. In this country Of free schools,
free thought and free speech, no man,
whatever his condition. is excusable for
dense ignorance Of this kind.-Tacoma

CANADIAN PACIFIC.
The Peculiar Advantages it Re
Ceiyes From This Country.
They Are to be Cut Off as soon as
POssIBIe-A Discriminating Duty
Urged Upon Foreign Products
Coming That way.


WASHINGTON, November 9.-An new effort
to deprive the Canadian Pacific railway of
the peculiar advantage it enjoys in com
peting with the American through lines
to the Pacific is likely to be made during
the coming session of congress. Edward
Z. OBrien. commissioner Of navigation,
has taken up the subject with energy. In
his recent annual report he urges a dis
eliminating duty on the products Of Asia
and Australia imported into this country
from Canada. The Canadian government
now lines a discriminating duty on tea
and coffee imported into Canada from the
United States. Actual legislation in
restraint of the Cananian Pacific railway
is not likely to go further than recurring
the road to conform to the interstate COM
merce act until the broad question of her
trade relations with Canada are dealt
with. Negotiations for closer reciprocal
relations between the two countries how
ever will depend upon the attitude the
present conservative ministry in Canada
and its ability to retain its power against
this growing sentiment of tearing down
barriers to trade with the United States
Inc disposition OF the strongest
advocates of Canadian reciprocity
during the last session OF congress was to
take no action, which might look like med
ding with Canadian affairs, or forcing the
hands of the CANADIAN governments. A
change in the national administration of
this country may justify forward move
ment, either at the short session Of CON
gress this winter or the long session of the
new congress, but it cannot be predicted

which is supposed to have caused the
failure of his mental powers, which result
ed in Nitschke being sent to the asylum

hopes of permanently recovering from the

however, that there we're elements of
mental weakness not apparent, that led up
to the fatal termination just narrated.

NITSCHKE Is DEAD.
He Hanged Himself Last Night
From the Door Beam.

Mental Alteration Is Supposed to
Have Been the Cause--EEOW He
Eluded the WatchfuIness of HIS
Friends--A Man with a History.
Fredrick Nitschke, one Of the most widely
known residents OF Thurston county,
committed suicide by hanging, last night,
at his ranch in Sherman valley. Mental
alteration is supposed to have been the
cause.
For the past three or four days he has
been silent aud uncOmmueative, going
about the work on his ranch in listless.
aimless fashion. When at the house he
would suddenly break down and
weep like a child, but would re-
gain his composure as suddenly
as ne began, and when questioned by his
companions as to the cause Of bis sudden
grief he could not be induced to talk.
1t was plain.to those living in the same
house that his mind was giving way and
friends were notified, who watched him
closely, but at moment when least ex-
pected the demented musician fastened a
rope to the beam of the door and hung
himself. He was cut down within fifteen
minutes but it was too late He was
dead.
