tendance of the Senate this morning

position of routine business at 12:15
o'clock, Mr.. Cannon of Utah sought to
call up Senate resolution 1902, directing
the Secretary of the Interior to open the
Uncompaghre reservation in Utah to
settlement in accordance with existing
law, the point of no quorum was made.
This. resolution lost it's place as the un-
finished business and went to the calen-
dar yesterday when Mr. PETERS bond
resolution was taken up Mr.. Cannon
moved to again take it up and consider
It until two o'clock without displacing
the bond investigation resolution
Upon the call of the Senate fifty-nine
Sena tors responded more than a quorum,
and the joint resolution was then taken
up. Upon Mr. Cannons suggestion the
order Of business was laid aside for
twenty minutes in order to permit Sena-
tor Villas, who antagonized the resolu-
tlon, to reach the chamber.
Mr.. German (Dem.. Md suggested that
in the absence of Mr.. Vifas-who desired
to be heard on the subjeet-the mater
go over until tomorrow
Mr.. Aldrich Rep., r.. - remarked
that. there must be some purpose back

JUDGE FRYOR WAS RIGHT.

Judge Roger a. Pryor, of New York,
was right I'm refusing the sanction of his
court u few days since to n charter to in
corpora the Hungarian Club OF that
city. The object of The club. as stated
In the application for The charter, was to
"insp.rc love and devotion to the native
land" and to propagate the IunEa-
rian language and literature"
Judge Pryor's refusal was based upon
the grounds tina; whenever n man aban-
dons his native land and becomes n
natural!zed citizen of the United States,
his first and only duty, as well as his
supreme affections. should be for the
land OF his adoption, and. therefore. It
IS not the proper thing to give a char
ter to a society composed of citizens of
American adoption. having for it's OBJ
Jccts such as were expressed in the APP
plication of the hungarian Club. Under
proper conditions a body of citizens nat
ural:zed in this country have as much
right TO charter privileges as those ma
tive and to the manner born" but not
when 1. Is declared that the object of
the society is to perpetuatc the language
and customs of the country which they
have abandoned. possibly to the neg
lect of an intelligent and appreciatIve
understanding of the Requirement. s
which so towards the make up of Amer.-
can citizenship.
In other words when man becomes
naturalized under the laws OF the United
states. his best efforts should be made
to become good citizen thereof, and not
to eXpend time and thought in endeavor-
Ing to preserve his Individuality as ma
tive of the land which he has voluntarily
abandoned.

YET THEY COMPLAIN.

According to the Milwaukee Journal
forty-seven per cent of the school fund
G: the State Of Georgia Is expended in
the education OF the negroes OF that
State. and yet their so-called friends az
the North howl about "the treatment
the poor co!ored man receives at tiie
hands of the white people OF the
South "
They do not know perhaps that the
white people of the South have been
taxed ever since the war to educate he
blacks. not one of whom out of n very
large number contribute anything
whatever towards the education of his
own race.
The white people have practically
borne all the expense of the public
school education of the negro In the
South, and aye sill doing 1t. They
get no thanks for II, but they do 1t all
the same, and It is quite time for the

There Is movement on foot among
the wool dealers OF the country to have
the tariff on wool increased by the next
Congress. to figure which viii rracti-
cal!y put wooden manufactured goods
hereafter up to a price beyond the reach
OF the average purse, and the Philadel-
ph!a Record, in noting the scheme. has
this to say
why should the wool dealers seek
by organized effort To deprive the
manufacturers by means of high
tariff or the opportunity of buying
Their raw materials in the best mar
kets? Why should the wool dealers
wish by this method OF taxation to
enhance the cost and at the same
time dctcrIorIte the quality OF the
clothing OF the American people? Ii
Is beyond dispute that the American
people in this year of the Christian
era are enjoying cheaper. better ana
purer woollen clothing than ever be-
fore in the coum rvs history. The
cause of this is that for the first

1t is true that the world is no: apt
