Few subjects before Congress are Of greater

related topic of naturalization. Indeed, in a
broad view, and assuming the generally recog-

health and vigor of the blood that is to sup

additional safeguards for our body polite are
demanded and that the corruption of suffrage
by the admission of ignorant and degraded
voters, many If them without even the pre-
tense of short apprenticeship, is one of the
glazing evils Of the times. The bill which is to
