Clarence, my farmer valet, writes
me from Kensington to know what is

naturalization, according to Wool
sey, takes place when an alien trans
ters his allegiance from the country of
his origin and the sovereign of the same
10 another country and sovereign.
Naturalization is sometimes an enlarge
ment OF duties asa citizen, for one may
obtain new rights in another country,
While at the same time he is obliged to
hold himself subject in a degree to his
former sovereign. For instance, he
cannot escape from a European coun-
try and at nee become 8 citizen here
IN order to avoid military duty to which
he might have been subject where he
lived.
Naturalization is not fully accom-
plished until there has been not only a
change of rulers, but of linen. The
Mormon church might have sustained
itself and been alive and we'll to-day
had it adhered to this principle.
There must also have been an actual
intention from the first to become a
citizen of the new country. To become
a citizen merely for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a divorce or a temporary honey
moon will be in all cases ruled against
most severely by all courts except those
of Grand Forks, N. D.
Naturalization should, so far as may
be, be attended to in cool weather, and
so far as possible at a reasonable dis
lance from where people may be who
have never been exposed.
People who come to America undera
contract or a cloud cannot by any
means actually become at once natural
lied. They may hold Office, but they
cannot be naturalized.
One singular ruling regarding the
naturalization of minor children is that
the naturalization of the father natural
ICES the minor child, while that of the
mother is not necessary. What NAM
moth genius evolved this principle of
law l do not know. Did you ever see
a foreign father by any act whatever
indicate that he was in any way re-
sponsible for or related to any of his
brood unless it be to hop in gayly and
and cluck a few times before eating
the worm7
Watch a swarm of steerage nam
malta glide off the steamer and notice
that the father generally gets ashore
with long stem pipe and a vest full of
crude alcohol, while the mother carries
from $50 to $50 pounds of SO called
goods, and she is also required to bring
all the children to land safely. Who
comes nearest to being the real head of
the house, Which one runs away in
case Of sickness or poverty9
The papa!
And yet the naturalization of that
unnaturalized father naturalizes all the
minor children.
Come over, Clarence, if you want to
see some ~curiosities of government
come over.
Come over, too, and see how I look
as I put a regular Cleopatra shine on
nv own shoes. BILL NYE.
