THE ALIEN VOTE.

The constitutional commission
is in session to-day in Baton Rouge
for the purpose of putting the f.
nal finishing touches on its work
before it submits it to the legisla-
ture, which meets next Monday
week. There is one amendment
which we would call particularly
to its attention. We mean the
amendment to kill the alien vote
in Louisiana.
The Americans of this State are
growing very tired of foreign con-
troll in their elections. They are
growing very tired of seeing their
public men trucking to men who
repudiate allegiance to this coun-
try. They are becoming more and
more convinced every day that
Americans only should govern
America, and they are ready for
the change right now.
No good reason can be advanced
why an alien should be allowed
any voice in the control of our af-
fairs. They acknowledge no au-
thority of this country over them.
They can and will refuse to serve
in her army or navy. They refuse
to acknowledge the jurisdiction OF
the State courts. They appeal to
the representatives of their OWL
country against this one. And YET
we allow them to assist in govern.
ing US.
No amendment which the con.
stitutional commission could sug
gest would be as popular as THU
would be, and none would be car
ried by so large q majority if i
we're submitted to the people. A
failure TO change our constitution
in this regard is an acknowledge
ment that we are incapable OF sci
government, but that We mus
have the assistance of foreigner
and aliens to manage our affairs
To permit them to continue Il
take part in our elections is Il
grant them the highest privileg
of an American, while they rende
none of an Americans duties. B,
allowing them to assist in choos
ing our law makers we let then
make laws for US to which the,
are not subject Alien voters ar
alien sovereigns of people who's
boast is that they are free.
How long is the condition of al
fairs to prevail? How long vii
the public men of Louisiana b
too much afraid of the foreign in
fuence to strike down this allie
vote? Is the constitutional com
mission composed of men of thi
sort. or are they men who believ
in the doctrine that only citizen
should vote in our elections an
have the courage of their convic
tons? We believe they are tn
latter. and We urge them to sub
NIT this amendment to the legis
lature, and in such q shape that
will absolutely exclude everybod
from the ballot box except full
fedged citizens of the Unite
States.-Free Press.

Sheriff Chas. f. Chapel and wife of st. Paul,
in company with Usher Kenyon, paid the prison
visit yesterday. making THE MIRROR office
very pleasant call. Sheriff Chapel dropped a
big dollar upon our edtOial desk. but before we
could get our hand on the mighty dollar.
the usher had ''gObbled' it up and dropped it in
his capaciOus pocket. The sheriff. however
will receive THE MIRROR for a year. Just the

The boys at the prison whose food and cloth
ing are supplied by the state. are more amb-
tious then one would naturally suppose. Out Of
4s7 prisoners but nine are in the lowest. the
third grade. This shows that the system of
grading men who are convicted of crime is a
move in the right direction Men are ambitious
in all grades of life and when anything is held
out as an incentive to be better and do better
there is always a response from the great ma
jOrity, no matter where they are. Saltwater

his own hog the other night. He was awakened
from his sleep in the middle of the night and
asked by two men to assist them in loading
hog which had tumbled out of the crate in their
wagon. He willingly gave helping hand and
then returned to quiet slumbers. The next
morning he went to feed his pOrker. but there
was no pOrker to feed. 1t then dawned upon
him that he had helped load his own hog in the

The complete success OF the govern

est has soon 10 be met. and the opera.

10 prevent much selling Of tue bonds to

improbable. Meanwhile domestic trade
and industry have not been a little intlu-
enced by the heavy dedication in one
bank and minor disorders in two
others, nor by the failure OF the Erie
railway 10 meet interest on its bonds.
The closing sugar refueries will
diminish the industrial force more than
1t 10 increased by the resumption OF the
Bethlehem steel works and a few other
concerns. The controlling fact is'that,
although in few instances wages have
been increased, the earnings OF the
working force and its purchasing power
are not on the whole enlRrging at pres
ent, and prices OF the chief farm pro-
ducts do not materially improve.
Cotton reached six cents last Satur.
day, and has reacted three-sixteenth
after week OF heavy speculation.
Wheat is tic higher than a week ago,
and western receipts still exceed last
years, amounting since July l 10 103,-
800. 900 bushels, against 100. 100000 last
year, while exports from all parts have
been about 81 200, 900 bushels smaller.
Corn has advanced a fraction, re-
ceipts being larger than year ago, and
on the whole tho outcome for farmers
has not improved sufficiently 10 prom
Use larger buying by the west and south.
The great industries fairly maintain
the production previously reported, but
cannot be expected to increase at this
season. A few more iron works have
gone into operation. and the demand is
reported larger, but there is distinct
weakness in prices, especially at Pitts.
burgh, and Bessemer iron, billets, nails
and some structural forms are quoted
lower. The rail combination has agreed
to reduction OF 81 per ton for the next
year. Coke contracts are being made
for the first quarter OF 1895 at current
rates.
Failures this week have been in the
United States 2S9 against 27l last year,
and in Canada thirty-six against forty
eight last year.

THE MILITIA.


Army officers on duty with the ma
tional guard OF the states, Of whom
twenty.seven were regularly assigned
to headquarters, concur in reporting
steady improvement in the training and
efficiency OF the militia. The fact that
state camps OF instruction. in which
forty additional army officers partici.
pated, were held by thirty-three states
Is proof that state military establish
ments are on better footing now than
ever before in time OF peace. In several
instances army attachments took part
in state Camps, and the profit to the
army in acquaintance with the soldieriy
qualities OF the militia and to tho militia
In observation OF the attention OF the
regulars to details, which is necessary
to the perfect soldier, is both a present
benefit and an Investment for the future
from which we should reap returns in
any emergency calling for the co-opera-
ton OF the two forces.
The strength Of the militia shows an
increase OF about 5000 since last year,
tho latest returns showing n total or
ganized force OF 1883 officers and en-
listed men. The artillery arm, main
tanned by thirty.three states, has an
enrolment of 5,O22 officers and men;
the cavalry arm, maintained by twenty
six states. OF 5000. OF this number
West Virginia Is credited with 800.
The remainder OF the report is devo.
ted to the marking OF bRttlefelds and
the disposition OF military reservation.

sEACoAsr DEFENSE.

The establishment of type disappear
ing gun carriages for eight.inch and ten
inch guns, invented by officers Of the
ordinance corps, and believed to be I'm.
equaiied for rapidity and simplicity Of
action by any carriage elsewhere in use,
is a notable achievement OF the year.
This problem solved, the armament Of
our harbors may now be prosecuted as
rapidly as means are available.
NThe plant at the Waterylet arsenal.
for the manufacture of eight, ten and
twelve-inch seacoast guns and field and
siege guns, is complete and in satisfac.
tory operation. The army gun factory
is capable OF an annual output Of twelve
eight-inch guns, fifteen teu.inch, thir.
teen twelve.inch aud fifty field guns.
The pneumatic dynamite guns, car
riares and appliances we're found, on
trial, to fulfill the specifications Of the
contract entered into under the act Of
Congress which made the appropriation
for their purchase.

CONSOLIDATION SUGGESTED.

Ordinary business prudence sug-
gests a consolidation OF the quarter
masters, subsistence. and pay depart
ments into bureau of supply, to per-
form also certain duties connected with
the furnishing OF suudry articles OF
equipment now imposed on the chief OF
ordnance.
The abolition of the three recruiting
depots and changes in the method Of re-
cruiting have already resulted in adding
1900 men, equivalent to two regiments,
to the effective strength ut the military
posts, and directly and indirectly will
reduce expenditures about $3.50, 900
annually.
Seven regiments have been supplied
with the new .30-caliber magazine rifle
and it is expected that the infantry will
be completely equipped with this
weapon by the first Of May.
