sound like ancient history to many
of the present generation. The

Capt. Lamont is a steamboat cap

CLARKsoN's VIEWS.
The Silver Panic Was Created by
Bankers in Their Interest.

OH
Bankers in Their Interest.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Gen. J. S. Clark
son, of Iowa, was seen today at the
Plaza hotel by an Associated Press rep
resentative. and, in speaking of the
financial aspect of the country, said:
This silver panic has been altogether a
silver panic created by the bankers FOR
their own interests, and politics have
had nothing to do with it. If it was On
account of the silver ques ion that
trade was depressed, its revival
should be great and immediate. If
the government have pulled the right
tooth out of the patient he should get
well. do not believe, however, that
the silver question was the cause of
the depression. The real reason
was the unsettled state of the
country consequent on the change in
the administration and the probability
OF change ia the financial policy.
Inc Democratic party have abandoned
1nelr Intention of adopting free trade
lhey Will give as much free trade
as possible, but they must have money
to carry on the government. Why, Mr..
Croker would not run the government
or TINS city If there was not money in
1t. The revenue is seriously decreased,
ana IL the tariff was abolished, an
income tax should be levied which
would be most obnoxious measure. 1t
takes $500, 100000 to run the govern
ment, and it must be raised out of reye-
hue or otherwise.
Il believe Mckinley will carry Ohio
by large majority. The Democrats
allow that there will be a majority.
Iowa Is against free trade, and Massa-
chusetts also. The Democratic party
has got very severe lesson which will,
believe, do them great deal of good.

CHEAP CITIZENSHIP

Attention has been so absorbed bv the
prolonged and tense struggle over the
silver repeal bill that another bill pend
ing in the house at its adjournment has
been quite overlooked. We refer to
the bill to amend the law regulating ad
mission to citizenship, which was favor
ably reported from the Judiciary COM
mittee.
Briefly, it abolishes the present law
which permits an immigrant to declare
his intention to become citizen on his
arrival here, and which qualities him. In

number, for the right of franchise if he
shall have resided in the state fonr
months. This leaves the period of five
years of prior residence and full citizen.
ship as a qualification for voting. The
bill proposes that the admission shall be
something more than the perfunctory
act it now is. The applicant must ap-
pear in court with petition for admis-
sion which the local law officer of the
government, state Or national. is required
to traverse, thus putting the applicant
to proof Of his qualifications for citizen

These are enlarged by the bill and en-

The applicant must be able to read the

For twenty-five years we have been
cheapening American citizenship. The
old limit or seven years. residence was
reduced to five. and then the mischiev-
GUS idea was adopted of making for
eigner eligible TO the franchise by SIM
ply declaring his intention some time, at
his convenience, to assume full citizen

acted as spur to further action. usu-
ally no further steps were taken, and

coming citizen of tine country which
he had adopted.
The report of the committee relates
facts of fraud and abuse of the privilege
which are within the experience of
every citizen who has come In touch

struggle for votes is called. In federal

acy among the officers of the court.
Campaign committees of all parties poll
their DailiWlckS for the foreigner
who may be made into legal
voter. and heavy item in the &C.
count of campaign expenses is the fees
for issuing certificates of these declara-
tons. If the clerk eff the court is cam
didate, often if he is not, he makes no
charge to the committee of his party for
this work, making his fees his contribu-
ton, and cOmpensates himself by charg-
ing the other committee full rates. In
stances are not rare where the clerk has
taken bundle of blanks and the seal
of his court and driven into remote parts
Of the county hunting for people to ae-
cept the privilege of voting.
If citizenship in this country is to be
acquired by anything more than the
simple coming and residing here; if it is
to be made practically what it is In
theory, then the provisions of this bill
lead in the right direction. When we
require our sons, more capable at fifteen
to vote intelligently than the average
foreigner is after five years. residence.
to wait until they have passed their
twenty-tirst year before they can vote.
it is a modest request indeed, that the
foreigner should wait FIVE years to ac-
quaint himself with the language be
fore he assumes citizenship.

FIRED UPON OUR FLAG.
The President Of Honduras
Insults the Stripes.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE Herald s
La Libertad,, Honduras, special SAYS:

express command of the commissioner
Of tie port of Amahla. several shots
were fired after the Pacific Mail steam
er. Costo Riea, flying the siars and
Stripes, as She steamed away, because
she refused TO surrender one of her pas
sengers to the Honduras government.
is United States Minister Baker was on
board the Costa Rica at the time. The
passenger about whom the trouble arose
is p. Bonilla. who recently led the rev.
olutlon in Honduras, but was de-
feated by Gen. VasQuez. He fled to
Nicaragua and with 800 of his adherents
ajbined the army of President Sar-
caSSa, who was engaged IN an attempt
to quell revolution. Bonilla had de-
cided to leave Nicaragua in order to
relieve the government from all
responsibility OF harboring them. He
therefore sailed from Nicaragua for
Guatemala. Minister Baker and 100
other passengers were his fellow
passengers. They arrived yesterday
at Amapala, a port of entry of Hondu-
ras on the Pacific coast. /. In the after
noon the commander of the port, Villa,
demanded that Capt. Dow should sur
render Bonilla. When the request was
refused threat was made to sink
the ship, and it was asserted
that President Vasquez had given Or
ders to that effect. Villa. incensed at
the refusal to surrender Bonilla, gave
the order to fire on the ship after night
fall, when it was too dark to leave with
safety.
One of the shots struck her, doing no
damage, but it is feared that the S. S.
Gala, of the same line, which was lying
in port, may have been injured, for the
firing continued some time after the
vessel was out Of range.

said that he was proud of the
courtesy extended to him by the lord

nations agreed to execute the laws of
friendly nations within their own Dor
ders, when this could be done without
injury to their own interests. The
strongest feeling that he felt on coming
to England was that every advantage
should accrue to this country that was
not prejudicial to his own.

States consul general, responded to the
toast The Commercial Interests of
