Crowley Signal: There is aagreat
deal of work for the Constitutional
Commisson but none of it is more de-
serving of attention than that of the
question of education. If Louisiana as
State does not care to advance in edu-
cational matters, let her vest in the citi-
zens of any parish, ward OF municipality
the power to pass it's own school laws,
the right to operate under them and the
privilege OF voting school tax sufficient
to maintain public schools for as many
months in the year as it may deem prop
er. Our people desire an educational
advancement and it is working an in
justice on them that these rights be
withheld for no other apparent reason
than laxity on the part of the State
government. Give us at least a law
under which the property owners OF a
town or ward can vote upon themselves
school tax without effecting the entire
parish. Let the State stand still il she
will, but grant the people of those sec
tions which desire to advance the right
to do so,

GERMAN POLITICS.

BERLIN, May 30-The Rhineland cleri-
Gals have published an election manifesto
which commends their deputies for having
voted against the army bill, and declares
that the growth of the army budget rend-
ers impossible any advance III the way of
social reform. Nevertheless the Rhine
land clericals profess willingness to grant
as much of the government demand as is
indispensable to the security OF the en-
pire.
The Catholic Poles Of West Prussia have
decided to leave their candidates uufetter
ed by pledges rs to their attitude toward
the army bill. They have resolved, how
ever, to form "A national Polish union, to
agitate against the needless increase of
oppressive taxation.
DR.. Alexander Meyer, Radical deputy in
the last reichstag for the First Berlin dis
trlct, in addressing a Radical meeting in
the halle blamed the government for not
having conferred in advance with the
parties as TO the additional taxation con-
templated in the army bill. The failure
to do SO should not be regarded. he said,
as IN any way affecting the merits of the
bill. After mature consideration he had
become convinced that an increase of the
army was necessary, and therefore he
favored the Huene compromise.

THE NATURALIZATION LAWS.

ST. PAUL, May 30-The United States
circuit court Of appeals, with Judges San
born, Thayer and Shiras on the bench,
cision, limiting the power of naturaliza-
tion to the national congress. The case
came from Minneapolis, and Judge San
born announced the decision confirming
the lower court It is held that the power
granted to congress by the constitution of
the | United States to establish a uniform
rule OF naturalization is exclusive, and the
naturalization laws enacted by congress ~
the exercise of this power constitute the
only rule by which foreign subject may
become citizen of the United States or
of a state within the meaning of the fed
eral constitution or laws. 1t is not in the
power of a state to denationalize foreign
subject who has not complied with the
federal naturalization laws and constitute
him a citizen of the United States, or of a
state, so as to deprive the federal courts OF
jurisdiction over a controversy between
h IN and Il citizen of state conferred upon
them by the constitution and the acts of
congress, y foreign subject who is quail
fed to become a citizen of the United
States under the revised statutes does not
become such by filing mis- intention to do
SO. That section requires that he shall
renouuce allegiance TO the sovereignty of
which he i IA subject, take an oath of allie
glance to the United States and comply
with the other conditions prescribed in
the second and third paragraphs OF section
, 100 of the revised statutes, in order to
become naJuralized, and until he does so
he remains a foreign subject.

There is no greater terror to the

she therefore determines to put in some

ure of entertaining every casual Wis
itor. As her home or room Is set in
order by ten o'clock, the idle party is
very much amazed when she
walks into her friends house to
find that individual either engaged in
the kitchen or going about picking up
here and there, setting things to rights
after the little folks have left for
school. The first time Mrs Idler calls
