WILL AFFECT POLITICS.
Owing to the Hungarian hegira
there will be q change In the complex
ion OF political results In some districts
this fall. At the last naturalization
court held in Scranton crowds OF Huns
were marshaled in the corridors by the
nimble minded heelers who usually at
tend TO the financial details OF practical
politics, and men who could not tell b
from bulls foot and who knew as
much about the United States coustitu-
ton as they did about the procession or
the equinoxes, were initiated into the
privileges OF citizenship. The late
Judge Connolly once startled some OF
the political Hun snatchers by de-
claring from the bench that man who
was unable to read the constitution OF
the United States could not be expected
to comply with its provisions. de LAID
IL down as rule that applicants Tor
citizenship should be able to vouch for
themselves ia the language OF the coun-
try and understand the words addressed
TO them by the Court In comforting citi-
zenship on them. This precedent has
not been followed, and those who were
anxious TO corral the Hungarian vote
had the Huns naturaized In scores at
the last SESSION OF the naturalization
court. Tue votes OF many OF the alleged
citiZens are now Gin the swim" OF the
broad Atlantic, heading homeward or
getting ready TO go.
There are hundreds Of Huns here
every night waiting for the trains that
carry them away" said one OF the at
tendants at the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western depot this afternoon, land
very often train loads OF them pass
through from the West, homeward
bound. l know an emigrant agent-a
souint eyed fellow, in one OF the little
mining toWns-who made over $50 on
the batch Of Huns that were shipped
back from that lace TO their native
land last night"
So 1t seems that, poor as the toiling
Hun is, the emigration agents on both
sides Of Atlantic make good profit out
of him whether he is coming or going.
THE HUNS ADVANTAGE.
The Huns advantage over bis fellow
man is gained in the field OF toll, where
he can sell his labor at price that will
weld him a bank account, while IL
sends his ompetitor 10 the poor house.
The word Hungarian" is very much
abused as applied to most OF the monde
script nomads who are carried 10 the
shores OF America 10 the foul Storage
of those pestilent immigrant ships,
which have proited largely by their
transatlantic traffic In this species OF
human freight.
The genuine Hungarian, proud OF the
soldier spirit and love OF Independence
Characteristic Of his race, resents the
designation Of the Bulgarians,. Carpa-
thians, Slavs and Lithuanians as Hun
garians, out bis occasional protest can
not correct the mistake. and so the
general appellstion continues TO DO
duty in its abbreviated form. People
who are not over nice la famil-
Iarizing themselves with race distinc-
tions, or TOO eager 20 increase their store
OF chronological knowledge, ind the
word Hun" too handy TO be laid aside
in Difference to the scruples OF the e1-
act or the fastidious, and every mao
who is known only OF numb Der and who
cannot speak English is likely 10 tind
himself placed in that category some
time or other.
Asa general thing the Huns OF this
region are short, thickset aud solid.
They work like beavers at the hardest
toll, and apply their energy IS II they
were born TO such tasks, with nothing
higher to hope for! Other races, recog-
nizing that this land OF freedom is their
home; enter into their duties With the
mbition TO rise ABOVE their harsh con-
ditions, and at the first opportunity
proceed 70 place themselves in haM
