MANY JUST LIKE THEM.

Judge Cole. of Washington has hand
ed down a decision which says in effect
that any man who is entirely ignorant
OF the constitution of the United States
Is unfit for citizenship. The case at
bar was that of two young Italians
who applied for naturalization PAPERS
The Judge upon cross examining them
discovered that they were entirely ig-
nofant or the constitution, whereupon
he denied the applications for the req
son here cited, saying 1t was obviously
impossible for them TO support q con-
stitution about which they knew Moth
h"' or rather did not understand. The
matter of decision as to who are en-
titled TO naturalization papers, If the
law regulating the same was more
clearly defined. would be less difficult
than Is now the case. AS 1t Is, however.
the many questions involved and the
matter of deciding is left almost en-
tlrely with the dissertation of the Cont
NO one should have any quarrel with
Judge Cole because of his decision in
me cases referred to. but IL the aues-
non Oh issue is to be determined solely
upon the extent Of knowledge an appli
cant may have of the constitution. that
can be easily overcome, for the reason
that man can easily post himself be-
lore appearing for examination, and
such Will doubtless be the case here
after' 1t Is unfortunate that the law is
not more specific on the question of
naturalization. and that SO much is de-
pendent upon the courts.

EseIlsu COIN FOR m.xrNLhY.

Hon. Thomas It. Lane. of New Jer-
sew tells the Washington Post that he
has learned from an unquestoncd
source that English bankers and CAPT
talists arc subscribing money freely to
the Republican campaign fund In this
country in order to help elect McKm
lev.
NV informant" said he. was an
Englishman. and the statement was not
made on hearsay." Mr.. Lane said that
the class of people who were thus aid
ing the Republican candidate were men
of means. who had made large invest
mcnts In America. They were more in
terested in our approaching election
than if ii were coming off in Great Bri-
tain, and the pros and cons of the sill
Yer question were debated with as
much heat in the British metropolis as
in New York.
The American voters will find some
food Tor reflection in the above state
ment. and yet the fact that English
gold is being used to further the cleo
tion of Major Mckinley ought not to
create any surprise.
