Pretty Polish Girl SOLD Them for .
DeRtaf Apiece. -
New Bruas~tck. N. a.. Aug. There
was wedding festival in South River, .
few miles from here, on Sunday, and Mon
day that had amusing features, and led to
t1he affair being temporarily stopped by
Marshal Applesats, because the celebrators
were making more noise than the Official
thought seemty foi an American Sunday
night.
Two Poles nyi1s at South River were
married on Sunday by a Polish priest at
South Amboy: Their friends were invited
to the feast and Selcbration. First of all.
there was s6bstSAtial dinner. There was
plenty of bees and the affair went mer-
rily. When the table had been cleared the
| bride appeared in the room with tin wash.
basin, covered with tightly stretched
Cloth, in the middle of which there was
slit. Then commenced a process of OBJ
tanning a dowry which was an innovation.
Every mau, in. the place who wished to
do sc could deposit one dollar in the basin.
| The deposit OF the dollar entitled him to
dance with the bride, and at the conclu-
| sion of the dance to give her Il kiss.

| Consisted Of q man with violin. another
with an accordion. All the afternoon
the dancing was kept up. The bowl be-
| gan to fiji with dollars, and the bride to
| tire, hut still the dances went on. She
appeared to be in great demand, for one
man is said to have dropped So into the
basin, and then to have felt aggrievcd be-
| cause he could not deposit u fourth.
| 1t was stated yesterday by a Pole that
about 100 dances were taken part in by
| the bride, and each of these represented 81 i.
Tired at last with dancing. the party
started singing. They seated themselves
in q circle about the room, and, with the
tired musicians playing, sang song after
song in their native language. This part
| of she affair was In full swing when the
marshal entered and told them to stop.
| The Poles did Eot like this, but the bride
proved to be equal to the occasion and
announced that celebration would COM

dancing and more singing until late in the
morning.

..REroKMs SCHOOL DRILLS.

III Secretary Lamont can see his way
clear to granting the Commissioners re-
quest for military instructor at the
Reform School he. will become factor
in an innovation from which the best
results may be expected. II there is one
.tihng1nore than another that is needed by
such boys as are committed to the Reform
School, it is discipline; not the lis
cipiinc of The lash or dark cell. but that
which results from the habitual obedience
TO orders. which is one of the foremost
practical results of military training. In
sruction OF, this kind will be beneficial
tn tie boys, in more ways than one. 1t
will have an elevating influence upon
them morally, for it viii show item that
public interest in them goes to the point
of making them useful citizens and quail
flying them to serve the State in tie pro-
lection OF person and property, If it should
became necessary, after they will have
left the school and become part of the
population of the District. Physically il
w:li be- of unqncstionable advantage to
them, and SIS playing soldiers is al
ways a favorite pastime with the boys, it
is to be expeetcd'that they would welcome
the proposed innovation.
The scheme appears all the more feas-
lille because no expense worth mention
ing is connected with 1t. An officer from
one of the garrisons stationed in or near
Washington could easily devote few
hours twice or three times week to such
instruction. Transportation for him to
the school and back again to his quarters
would be the only item of expense, and
this is SO GffiTng as to cut no figure In
the matter. The Secretary of War. it is
hoped, will strain a point IL need be,
to comply with the request of the Com
missioners in this respect.

ILL1rERATE CITIZENS,

Judge Cole is freely commended by our
citizens for Indignantly refusing to under
take the naturalization of two foreigners
who were unable to speak or read English,
and, TO use the words OF the judge, as nearly
asthey can be remembered. have no knowl-
edge Of. tile Constitution of the United
States.'' He took the broad ground thai
no man conid swear to support govern
ment OF the nature Of which and the obliga-
tions it imposed upon him he had no clear
conception. In the present instance both
applicants for naturalization admitted to
have come to this country as miners, and
there was no excuse, therefore, for their
not having acquainted themselves with the
nature of the political institutions OF 1.-The
country of which they intended to become
citizens. This, OF course, raises the ques-
tion whether an educational qualification
should be added to the other requirements
upon which the right Of citizenship and
suffrag els predicated, and, ifso, how exact
ing it should be.
/, Undoubtedly very large number of for
eigners are naturaiized every year in the
different States and Territories who are
entirely iliiterate and have no more Idea of
of the principles underlying our political in
the form OF government, than cathas ofthe
Bible. Unfortunately, however, the same
is true of a large number OF men who are
native here and to the Manner born"
Thousands born in the United States exer-
else the;right of suffrage. and to that ex-
tent participate in the government of the
country, who are lamentably ignorant of
even the functions of the three coordinate
branches of the government. 81 ould the
right to vote be denied these men as well AS
to the equally ignorant foreigner?
Unquestionably every foreigner apply
ing to be naturalized. ought to have a
fair knowledge OF tho language of the
country. When, however, 1t Comes to an
educational test as prequisite to the
acquisition of those rights and privileges
and citi zenship which enable him to
vote, the question arises il it would be
fair to frame. one kind Of conditions fol
him and another for the native? Thefs

liens who were entirely illiterate and

everybody must admit that the voting

est possible degree Of intelligence. and
that In this process education playa u

ments are shared no doubt by many, and
