mp in an American atmosphere and ac-
quainted from boyhood with our Con-
stitution and laws, must be in the coun-
try twenty-one years before he can vote.
while foreigner coming here without
any knowledge whatever of our laws or
language, and thoroughly indoctrinated
with anti-Amerran ideas. can vote
after being here one year. This makes
the right of suffrage much too cheap in
the case of foreigners. No person,
whether native or foreign born, should
be allowed to vote until he is citizen.
A native American cannot vote until he
reaches his majority and becomes full
fiedged citizen under the law. and for
eigner should not be allowed to vote
until he has completed his right to be-
come uaturalized citizen by residing
in the country the full term of five
years.
A reform i'm this matter is difficult to
accomplish. as it is partly under the
control of the general government and
partly of the State governments. The
federal government controls the subject
of naturalization and the States the
right of voting. This. however. should
not deter the people from attempting
reform which is so obviously demanded.

The election means. we suppose, that q

platform put into practice. and those who
do not believe that it ever will be- of those
who think Democracy means what it says,

to the majority that 10 should be IN large
part composed of persons who put little or
no reliance on the good faith OF the organ
iZatiOn nth which they have allied them
selves; but that is their affair, not ours.
We certainly shall not accuse the majority
of want of patriotism. We believe that
they are temporarily In error, and that they
will speedily discover their mistake. Other
influences have been at work. no doubt.

THE W0RKINGMAN,S ATTITUDE.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals
After the theories are submitted TO ac-
count for the recent political landslide, l
believe the main underlying cause will be
found to he the prejudice aroused in the
minds of the laborinG people against the
employer class, who. in the shops and fac
tories are. as o rule Republican. The
Democratic papers aud orators have for
months been denouncing the owners of the
protected industries of the country as

OUR NATURALIZATION LAWS and THE
ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

No election has ever occurred which
more strongly emphasized the injustice
of our naturalization and election laws
than the one just passed. If the result
was not due to the votes of per-
SONS who are not yet citizens of
the United States it is certain that
class contributed very largely to it.
Thousands upon thousands of foreign
ers took out their first papers In New
York and Chicago only a few days be-
fore the election and voted the straight
Democratic ticket without knowing or
caring anything about the issues or the
candidates. and great numbers of whom
could not even read the ballots.
1t is an anomaly in our system, if not
n disgrace, that persons of foreign birth
can vote here four years before they are
citizens. A foreigner cannot become
a naturalized citizen of the coun-
try until he has resided in the
United States five years. but he
may vote after being in the country one
year. and taking out his first papers.
This is a grossly unjust discrimination
against native born American citizens.

Democratic rioters two days after the

pounded until apparently dead because

THE indications are that the Demo-
Gratis will control the Senate after March
regardless of any possible combination
between the Republicans and Populists.
We sincerely hope this is so, and that
the Republicans will not try to prevent
it by any sort of combination with the
Populists, or in any other way. 1t is far
better for the Republican party that
the Democrats should have undisputed
control of both branches of Congress
from and after the beginning of Mr..
Cleveland's administration. 1t is an
ungraciOus task for small Republican
majority in one branch of Congress to
stand between majority of the people
and the execution of their will, even
though they may represent the best in
terests of the country. Better let the
Democrats have full swing and compel
them to take the entire responsibility of
giving legislative effect to the princi.

and pledges they have made to the peo-
