The granting Of citizen rights to for
eigners in this country as soon as they
land is a monstrous iniquity, and it is
bad in results. 1t cheapens Ameri-
can citizenship in the market and that
is bad thing. 1t offers a premium
to the foreign agitators to come over
here and monkey in our elections; it
opens a door to frauds, for it invites
the colonization of unnaturalized vot-
ers and then colonies them for polit-
ical corruption. The term of probation,
that is the number of years under
which a foreigner must remain with
out citizenship, in order to test his
citizen worth, should be extended and
franchize Withheld until the entire
term of probation had passed. This
will help correct the evils Of indis
criminate immigration and perhaps
! materially aid in decreasing II.

The wisdom of Republican states
manship is called upon to grapple
with the protection Of American labor
against the encroachments Of the for
eign low priced labor, and for this
business the Republicans Of the coun-
try are worthy and well qualified. In
deciding this they will be called upon
to declare their opinions and embody
them in acts restricting immigration.
This is where the shoe is going to
pinch. There must be no tenderness
of the corns Of other nations. Uncle
Sam has the interests Of his own citi-
zens to look after first, then comes the
interests of foreigners.

BRYADIPB PANIC.
Savings Bank Forced to sus-
pend Payment Though
Solvent.


WILLIMANTIC, Conn, Oct. 16, 1885,
The Willimantic Savings Institute sus-
pended payment of deposits today, re-
ouiring the four months notice allowed
by law. This action was determined upon
by the directors, who, at their meeting,
adopted these resolutions
Whereas. AS the Withdrawals since
October / have amounted to about $40, 600
and further payment would necessitate
the sacrifice of securities and loss to the
bank, 1t is deemed best to require the no.
tice provided by law.
The resolutions also declare the belief
that the bank is in sound. solvent con-
dition.
1t has been rumored that the last semi
annual dividend of two per cent. was
not warranted by the earnings of the
bank, though this statement is stoutly
denied by the banks officers.
The people of this section having had
their confidence in banking institutions
shaken by the failures of the First Ma
tional and Dime Savings Banks last year,
started something of a run on this bank
which increased until the notice became
necessary. The officials of the bank are
among the wealthy and solid citizens of
this section, and it is believed that pay
ment will soon be restored and the bank
be found as the officers declare, in a
sound condition.

BRYAN EARNS TWO HUNDRED.

BANGOR, Mich, Oct. 16. 1Ss6.-As on
yesterday, William j. Bryan, began his
speechmaking before breakfast this morn
ing, but it was in the broken light of T
o'clock and not in the first peep of dav
that the nominee addressed his first a1l-
dience. His train lay all night in Gravel
Siding, seven miles from Grand RAPIDS
and began his journeyings again at six.
MuSkegon, reached an hour later, was not
in the regular itinerary, but a detour to
that place was made at the request of
the people there. The members of Mr.
Bryan's audience, 1000 in number, gave
him some very hearty cheers and heard
short speech about the silver question.
Mr.. Bryan found another big crowd at
Holland, where his train arrived at eight
o'clock. Like Muskegon, the little town
had out brass band. Mr.. Bryan made
another speech, and at Fenvlle he talked
again.

big bouquet of flowers to the teacher
and the audience of several hundred peo-
pie addressed by Mr.. Bryan there did
not cheer louder as the train resumed
its journey than the boys and girls from
the schoolhouse.
A score of people only We're at st.
Joe when the special arrived there. Some
body said that the whole town had gone
over to Benton Harbor to hear Mr. BRYAN
there, so the train pulled out again after
