1t cannot be denied that in no civil
lied country on earth can foreign-born
citizens achieve distinction and fame as
easily as in the United States In
stances have been reported where
Americans were elected to the com
mons. One or two cases are on record
of Alnerican-born residents being
candidates for the French chamber of
deputies and the German reichstag, but
to the knowledge of the writer not one
OF them secured legislative honors.
In the United States citizens natural.
lied according to the act of congress
are eligible to any Office except the
presidency and vice presidency. We
had one foreign-born secretary of the
treasury, one secretary of the interior,
several ministers plenipotentiary and
senators and representatives By the
score.

nothing organizations Americans have
no prejudice against their naturalized
fellow-citizens. In the eastern states
the people may be trifle more narrow
minded than in the boundless, energetic
west, although even this seems doubt
full in view of the fact that one of the
Boston districts was for many years
represented in congress by Leopold
Morse, jew born somewhere in Ger
many.
The naturalized or foreign-born citi-
zens who have been honored by the
people of the United States have in
,variably reflected great credit on the
nation, from the days of Gallatin down
to the present era. Not one of them
whether of Irish, German, Canadian or
Scandinavian birth-has belonged to
the pernicious class of professional for
eigners which hiss of late years played
such an important part in the politics
of our great cities
John P. Altgeld, the new governor
of the great state Of Illinois, is perhaps
as typical representative of the thor
oughly assimilated foreigner as can be
found in the United States. He was
born in Germany in 1s47 and came to
this country while yet child. He
spent the early part of his life on
farm in Ohio. At the age of sixteen he
joined the union army and served for
six months in the ranks. After teach

went to southern Kansas, arriving Tiers

There is no doubt but that larger crops

strange, therefore, that the new gov

belongs the distinction of being the

born in Norway, is man qualified to
honor the commonwealth which hon

came to the United States when only
six years of age. He received a thor

Just in time to witness the collapse OF
what was perhaps the greatest land
boom ever experienced in America. In
1872, while resident Of northwestern
Missouri, he was admitted to the bar
and was appointed city attorney for
Savanna.
In 1875 he removed to Chicago, where
he at once took an active interest in po-
litical affairs His abilities as lawyer
were quickly recognized and his ap-
pearance in some of the most important
and sensational lawsuits of the time
made his name familiar to the public.
In 1884 he made his first appearance in
Illinois politics, being nominated to
congress from the Fourth district. He
made brilliant campaign, but was de-
feated. Two years later he was nominal
/. ed for judge Of the superior court and
was elected by a large majority. He gave
up lucrative practice to accept the
judgeship, probably considering the Of
fee a stepping stone to something bet
ter. With proverbial German thrift
ness he never neglected to make pro
vision for the future, and when norni
mated for governor of Illinois last year
by the democratic party he was consids
cred one of the wealthy men of Chicago
Besides being an able lawyer, Gov. Alt
geld has acquired some fame as an
author He has contributed a series OF
valuable papers to the leading reviews of
the country, besides publishing two
works of particular interest to human
itarians and lawyers-"Our Penal Ma
chinery and Its Victims" and 'sLive
Questions" Looked upon from the
dudes point of view, the new governor
of Illinois would hardly take a prize
He is short and Of sturdy frame, deep
chested and broad-bacled. His beard

several shades darker. His deep set
blue eyes are essentially Teutonic and
lend a pleasing softness to the rigid con-
tour of his face. No one who has once
looked upon the man will question his
determination, even though he cannot
rid himself of the impression that some
of the decision might justly be called
stubbornness. If not overwhelmed by
the vicious element of Cook county's
democracy, Gov. Altgeld will, it is uni.

spective of accident of birth. Many an
ecdotes are told illustrating his love OF
right and freedom. Despite the honora
heaped upon him by his fellow citizens,
Gov. Nelson is as unpretentious to-day
as when he first went to the state
house at St. Paul as a member of the
lower house of the Legislature He is
essentially q representative of the plain
people, and his nomination for the gov
erporship was one of the wisest moves
made by the leaders of the republican
party during the past campaign.
In Iowa the foreign element does not
play so important part in politics as
In Illinois or Minnesota; yet the state
has a number of naturalized citizens
whose fame is more than local Perhaps
the best known of these is Col. Joseph
Eiboeck, of Des Moines, gentleman OF
more than ordinary ability and dispo-
sition whose sweetness has become pro.
verbal. He was born in Hungary in
1888. While yet almost an infant his
father was killed in duel. At six
years of age he was taken to Vienna
and placed in an educational institute.
For participating in the Inflated revolu-
tionary movement in 1s4S-49, his STEP
father was forced to leave Austria
and, with his family, came to the
I1nifod Gfofnc co4f1s,,<r ,k T..
in 1849. Soon after his arrival in Iowa,
young Joseph concluded to learn the
printers trade and the English language
at the same time. While an apprentice
and journeyman printer he applied him.
self during his leisure hours to study
and qualified himself for the posi-
ton of teacher, in which occupation he
was engaged for several years. 1t may
be worthy of note to state that the first
time he ever saw the interior of COM
mon school in America was when he en-
tered one as an instructor. In 1859 he
purchased the Ellzader (Iowa) Journal,
and later founded the Nord Iowa Her.
aid, German weekly. In 1878 he was
appointed an honorary commissioner
from Iowa to the Vienna exposi-
ton. In 1874 he purchased the
Iowa Staats-Anzeiger, the principal
German paper of Iowa, which he has
continued to publish ever since. Polit-
ically, Mr.. Eiboeck was republican
until 1872, when he joined the independ-
ent movement, serving as delegate to
the Cincinnati convention which nomi-
mated Horace Greeley. Since that time
he has acted with the democratic party.
In 1878 he was nominated for the office
of auditor of state, and came within
few Thousand of election at time
when republican majorities ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000. At present he is
