CITIZENSHIP AND SUFFRAGE.

Morgan County, Utah, May 8, 1894.
To the Editor of The Herald:
VIII you kindly answer the following
questions through The Herald? Have
children born in the United States a
right to register and vote, when they
become Of age, whose parents are not
citizens of the United States and not
naturalized? Very truly yours,
DEMOCRAT.
The laws of the United States provide
that: ''All persons born in the United
States and not subject to any foreign
power. excluding Indians not taxed, are
declared to be citizens of the United
States" The fact that their parents
are not citizens does not interfere with
their status.
The right to register and vote is not
inherent in citizenship. 1t is regulated
by law. Each State and Territory en-
acts its own laws as to the elective
franchise. In Utah every male citizen
of the United States twenty-one years
of age and over who takes the oath
provided for the purpose may register
and vote. This of course includes the
class mentioned by Democrat; they are
legally entitled to exercise the voting
privilege if they can subscribe to the
registration oath.

weight would have to vary accordingly,
on the principle of coinage at the mar
ket rate
The experience of many years has
demonstrated that the 16 to / ratio is
as near naturally perfect as could be
desired. Also that silver is naturally
adapted for use as money. Further,
that gold is not sufficient alone to meet
the cash needs of mankind. AS the
money of the poor it is essential Gold
standard countries are obliged to use
it for subsidiary coinage. AS the com
panion and ally of gold it is needed in
every commercial country, for without
/ it there is a scarcity of coin which
cripples trade and hampers industry.
Both metals are wanted, and there is
not too much of either in adj the world
to bring obout an oversupply if every
ounce was coined.
When so strong a goldite paper as
the New York Post comes SO near to
the position of the silver champions of
the west and south, who are gaining
converts in both continents every day,
the signs are indeed encouraging, and
we may reasonably expect that before
long the white metal will conquer all
opposition and shine with gold as the
accepted money of the whole world.

PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED.

The following Republican gem is
plucked from the bosom of a magazine
article by Thomas H. Carter, Chair
man of the National Committee of the
alleged g. o. p.
Again, it will be observed by refer
ence to the returns that a change of
! 27,426 votes, properly distributed in
California, Delaware, Idaho, North
Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and West Virginia, would have
/ given those states to Harrison and Sc
cured his election.
cit might have Ben" if it had not
been for that lack of proper distribu-
ton. What possibilities are suggested
by those few figures! Is this intended
as lamentation for the past or a
| hopeful hint for the future? The proper
distribution of votes may enter into
coming campaigns as Republican as
surance of success, the preparation for
a certain victory.
But for the safety of the distributing
agents it would be as we'll to be
watchful of the laws provisions. There
have been changes in the statutes of
some of the states, designed to meet
the emergency among what has been
vulgarly called colonization, but may
now be more chastely designated as
1.-The proper distribution of votes, -
which, of course. exactly stated, means
the proper distribution of voters.
The experiences of Dudley in In
diana, and Davenport in New York,
are not likely to escape the memory of
the watchers at future elections, and
it will probably be found not quite so
easy to effect proper distribution" as
in the past.
Proper distribution of money would
for a time at least alleviate the dis
tresses of the times and ameIiorate the
condition of the masses. Distribution
of votes might help the needs of the
Republican party but it viii be found
quite as difficult as the other and would
want that also in considerable volume
We are afraid it would prove too costly
for Carter.

THE PETITION IN Boors.


When the Wilson bill WIS being con-
sidered by the House committee on
Ways and Means, a very near neighbor
of ours made good deal of sport about
the folly of that committee in listening
to the lobbyists and representatives of
the various interests which desired con-
sideration
When the Senate committee an
nounced that oral hearings would not
be permitted to the numerous pleaders
from all parts of the country. our
neighbor kept the types hot for many
days inveighing against Voorhees, and
the Senate committee, because they
would only receive written petitions
and statements in reference to the tar
iff bill. The fact that the House COM
mittee had already heard what there
was to say on the subject, and had
been overwhelmed with living petit
tions' and the Capitol had been
.swarmed with petitions in boots, ;"
was entirely ignored. And so was the
awkward truth that the same paper
had ridiculed the House Committee for
listening to the lobbyists.
There is now new class of petition
ers besieging the halls of Congress,
clamoring to be heard. They not only
sign the papers submitted to them but
travel to Washington in person to back
the men selected to do the lobbying.
Does it not look rather inconsistent to
upbraid the Senate and cover it with
opprobious epithets for not listening
to the speeches of one class of petition
ers. and then denounce another class
for attempting to initiate the methods
of the lobbyists?
We regard the endeavors of all the
pleaders for class legislation and spec
ial favors to given sections of the
country as wrong. And the gathering
of large numbers of men, whether they
be rich or poor, to cajole or .overrule or
unduly influence legislation in any way.
as dangerous to the public welfare.
It ought to be discountenanced and as
far as possible abolished.
Coxeyism is lobbying on a larger
scale than has ever before been at
tempted The petition in boots" is
not new. 1t has been seen at the CAPT
tai for many successive sessions of
Congress. 1t has been getting bigger
and more powerful at each sitting. This
time it comes in cowhide instead Of
patent leather, and hob-nailed instead
of fine-sewed. But it is the same thing
magnified and of coarser texture. And
! if the Senators in committee are justi-
fed in excluding the rough indus
trials from crowding into their pres
ence. may they not with some propriety
decline to listen to the well known
walls of the industrious if polished and
gentlemanly lobbyists, bent on SIM
liar errand, only the former have
something rather novel to offer while
the latter have only the old, old story
