AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

Judge Savidgc, of Northumberland county,
has the correct idea as to the necessary
qualification, of American citizenship. In
an opinion bearing on this subject, hc says
NO person will be uatualized who has
not general familiarity with the Federal
Constitution and with our methods of gov
ernment, state and national. The Act Of
Congress requires each applicant to take an
oath that he is attached to the principles of
the Constitution. No applicant will be
permitted to swear unless he knows what
those principles are. Each applicant must be
able to, at least, write his name and read
sufficient English to inteligently make up
Wis own ballot. There is already sufficient
ignorance and yenality AT the mercy of the
INSCRIPTIONS petty politician.
Each applicant shall showa general knowl-
edge of the government, customs history
aud geography of the nation to which he is
now a subject, and of the customs, history
aud geography Of the United States Other

Under present conditions it will not do to

qualify themselves.

and wisdom to restrict immigration, so that
