New England men engaged in foreign
commerce are awakening to the i'm
portancc of 50 amending our navigation
laws that foreign built ships can be ad-
mitted 10 American registry, and they are
expressing themselves in favor Of the
F'ithiau free ship bill.
Mr.. Osborne Howes, Of Boston, formerly
an owner of merchant tonnage and a mem
her Of an old family O that city that for
several generations has been connected
with the American merchant marine, in
an interview on the Fithian bill day or
two ago said. 81 think the FithIan pill
would, if it were passed, prove the first
step toward the rebuilding of our mer-
chant marine. When one takes into &c
count that in the year 1860 more than GO
per cent. of the imports and exports Of
this country were carried in vessels sail
ing under the American nag, and that in
the year 1898 less than - per cent. of the
exports and imports We're carried by our
ships, it becomes sufficiently obylous that
the system that we have been for so many
years pursuing is one which is suicidal so
far as our shipping interests are con-
ccrued."
The present registry laws were not
originally intended to protect ship build
ers but 10 punish those shipowners, who,
in 1861 and 1862, placed their vessels un-
der foreign flags to prevent them from
being captured by confederate cruisers.
When the Sumter, Georgia, Alabama
and other cruisers OF the confederate
navy were sweeping the commerce of the
north from the ocean, American vessels
were hurriedly transferred to foreign
ownership.
This apparently unpatriotic and selfish
conduct Of American ship owners was not
approved by the leaders of northern pub
lie sentiment who insisted that the ship
owners should be made to suffer for their
lack of patriotism. In response to that
sentiment the present navigation laws.
which have placed the carrying trade of
this country in foreign hands, were
passed.
The effect of the prohibitory ship laws
is felt here in Savannah. Foreign built
vessels, representing tonnage of many
thousands of tons which have been
bought by merchants of this city, and
which would have paid handsome profits
under our registry laws, have had to be
placed again under foreign flags and en-
ployed in foreign trade Large ships,
just suited forour coastwise lumber trade,
have been sold at admiralty sales for
almost nothing, because they could not
be used in a way that would be profitable
to local buyers
The Fithian bill should be strongly en-
dorsed in every southern port. 1t is the
bill that is needed to revive our shipping
interests.

Arbitrary Officials.

If some of the stories told to congress
Of acts of our immigration officials are
true those officials are arbitrary,
oyerbearing and totally unfit for
the responsible positions they hold.
They seem to think they are
at liberty to do as they please, and to
tramplc on the rights Of steamship com
panies and individuals with impunity.
They believe apparently that their arbi-
trary and unjustihable conduct will not
be reported to their superiors, and there
fore they can play the part OF dictators in
a small way.
Two cases have been reported to con-
gress that will, it is said, be given
very thorough investigation In
one case an Englishman of
means came to this country as a second
class passenger. He attended the fair at
Chicago and then returned to New York.
In the latter city he managed to get rid of
all of his money. He wanted to return
home, but could not pay his passage. He
hit upon a novel plan to return at the ex-
pense Of the steamship company that
| brought him to this country. He went to
| and told them that he had been landed by
a certain steamship, and that at the time
he was without visible means of support.
In other words, he asserted that the
steamship had brought him as pauper
to this country.
! The agents ordered the steamship to
| take him back to England. The officers
of the steamship protested, saying that
! they knew nothing of the man, and that
il a pauper had been landed it was the
| fault of the immigration agents who per
mitted him to land. The Immigration
agents paid no attention to the protest
| and forced the steamship to carry him
! back to England.
The other case was even more outra-
geous. A naturalized citizen, named
Annandale, was arrested near Baltimore
while at work, and shipped to Liverpool
on the charge that he was Phillip Arnott.
who had come to this country on the Teu-
| tonic, in violation of the immigration
laws. He protested against the arrest,
and declared that he had wife and three
children at Richmond, Va, and could
prove his identity. The agents gave him
no chance to show he was not the man
they wanted. 1t is understood that he is
still in Liverpool in a destitute condition
| If these charges against the immigra-
| ton agents at Baltimore and New York
are sustained. they show that the agents
| are not proper men for their places. A
4 little official power has turned their
heads and they cannot be got rid of too
soon.
The populists of Maine have nominated
a veterinary surgeon for governor. The
/ fact brings to mind the story of the anna
teur veterinary surgeon who ran for a
! county treasurership in South Carolina
on the Tillman ticket. Fellow citizens, "
he said in beginning a speech at a mass
| meeting, they tell US that every man is
/ put in this world for some purpose. and
there is one thing he can do better than
/ anything else If there is one thing can
do better than anything else, il is to mark
/ hogs" And, sure enough, when the cleo
ton came alon his fellow citizens elected
the populist who was so eminently quail
| fed to fill the treasur -rship.

And You'll Remember Me. -

c. Y. Warman in the Baltimore News.
One evening as the sun went down
Among the golden hills.
And silent shadows, soft and brown.
Crcpt over wales and rills.
/ watched the dUsky bats awning
Dip down he dusky lea;
Hardening, heard maiden sing,
And you'll remember me-"
when other lips ana other hearts,"
Came drifting through the trees:
In language whose excess impartsn
Was tOrDC upon the breeze
All love is sweet and hope is strong.
And llfe's summer sen.
A woman's soul Is In her song;
And you'll remember me"
Still ripping from the throbbing throat,
With JOY AKIN TO pain,
There seemed u tear in every note,
a sob In every strain;
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea.
The singer sang her love TO sleep
With: You II remember me-"

Representative Tracey, of New York.
has prepared a bill which he will offer as
a substitute for the Fithiau free ship bill.
The Tracey bill provides that foreign
built vessels purchased by Americans
shall be admitted to American registry
only upon compliance with stringent con
ditions, the chief of which is that the
purchaser shall give a bond, under recu-
lations prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, that he will build in American
shipyards vessel, or vessels, of an ag-
gregate tonnage and value not less in
amount than the vessel. or vessels, built
abroad and admitted to registry The
bill, it viii be observed, is based on that
which was passed by the Fifty-second
congress granting American registry to
the two steamers Paris and New York,
of the International Navigation Company.
That. however, was private bill, made
20 apply to a great and rich transatlantic
navigation company, and in no way in
tended to supercede existing navigation
laws. II was class legislation, Civ
ing an advantage to a rich
owner that an owner in moderate
circumstances could not enjoy But in
asmueh as the Lin stopped where it
started, with the ships referred to, is
discrimination was not widespread To
enact a general shipping law based on that
plan would be unfair and undemocratic,
and would fail Of the object for which an
improved ship law is demanded Under
it the person or company unable to own
two or more vessels would not be permitted
TO own any. The American sea captain,
for instance who had saved money enough
to bay his own craft-just one craft. how
eyer-would be denied the privilege Of
buying his vessel at price that would
permit him to compete with rich corpora
tions. The Fithiau bill is iucomparably SUI
perior to the proposed Tracey bill, though
as matter OF fact the Fithian bin does
rot 80 far enough. 1t pro}idas only for
free ships for foreign trade What is
wanted is free ships for all trade, without
distinction

A Citizen in Seventeen Seconds.

1t seems that there are III Chicago GER
tain circuit court judges who can beat
nature and all the rest of creation except
themselves in the making of citizens. The
Chicago Tribune states that one evening
recently Judge converted 800 aliens into
citizens between 8 O'Clock and midnight
and rejected sixty others Therefore the
Judge passed upon $50 applicants in 24O
minutes, the rate of progress being one
examination in about seventeen seconds.
1t is required by law that the applicant
for citizenship shall show to the satisfac-
tion of the Judge that he has lived in the
United States five years and in the state
one year. The Judge is required to be sat
isfied that during that time the
applicant has behaved as a man of GOOD
moral charal ter. that he knows something
of the constitution Of the United States.
and that ne is well-disposed towards that
instrument and towards promotion of the
peace and happiness of the citizens Of the
country. There are, probably. other de-
tails concerning which the Judge is ex-
pected to inform himself. But in the
cases of the Chicago judges referred to it
is evident they did not bother themselves
with the asking Of questions The
Tribune says in many of the cases the
candidate for citizenship was merely
asked how he intended to vote, and if the
answer was satisfactory he was made a
citizen instanter. According to the
Tribune, the judges who committed these
outrages against American citizenship
were democrats. If they were, that
would not mitigate their offense in the
eyes of honest democrats; they deserve
punishment. 1t takes a native American
twenty-one years to become a citizen, and
seventeen seconds test is not long
enough to satisfy anybody that the alien
is worthy of the rights accorded to the
native.
The law under which this railroading
of aliens into citizenship is alleged to have
been done, is a republican law. 1t was
passed by a republican administration,
and has been time and again employed to
swell republican voting lists from the
ranks of aliens brought to this country,
duty free under republican laws, to take
the places of native workingmen. There
are good reasons for the belief that the
4 naturalization laws, like the federal cleo
| tions laws and the high tariff laws were
/ passed in the interests of the favored
| protected" classes against the masses.
