Requirements Of Natur ralizatic n.

Judge Pryor of the New York Su-
| preme court, who lately surprised the
| laity by declining to issue naturaliza
| ton papers to men who could give no
proof that they comprehended any of
the fundamental principles Of American
citizenship, has issued statement in
explanation of his course. Whether n
defense was really needed of a policy
so clearly in accord with the propriet
les may be doubted: but 1t has been
entered and it is interesting.
Judge Pryor Says he eXacts from ap-
plicants for natural cation Il knowledge
Of the American constitution because
''the law requires that il, order to be
admitted as citizen the applicant
must give satisfactory proof OF his at
| tachment to the principles of the consti-
tuition. But how" Judge Pryor asks,
can he be attached to that of which
he is ignorant?" Secondly" ne goes
on. II require that the applicant be
able to speak and write the English
language. The law eXacts that to
serve as a juror in the City of New
York a person shall be able to read and
write the English language under
standingly.' If the allen, upon natur-
allzation. be invested with all the
rights and privileges Of citizenship he
should certainly be competent to per-
form all it's duties. Five years
previous residence in the United States
is requisite to naturalization. and if
during that period the alien does not
become conversant in the language of
the country the fact argues an indif-
ference or repugnance to that thorough
Incorporation with the community that
/ regard as essential to citizenship"
The general application of these tests
would perhaps give grief to the politi-
clan around the election time, when the
naturalization mill is too often expect
ed to grind with less reference to the
quality than to the quantity of it's
grist. Yet even from the low stand
point of the practical politician with
an eye to new instalments of electoral
raw material, the establishment Of an
impartial and infleXible standard would
give neither party the advantage, but
would cleanse both parties in nearly
equal proportions. We should say that
Judge Pryor had not done a thing in
need of apologetic explanation.

An Opportune Recommendation.

seasonable word is spoken by the
Washington Post when, after exu,tin-
as all patriotic Americans must over
the marked success of the popular loan.
with its emphatic revelation of the con-
tinued confidence of the people in the
credit. the integrity and the financial
honor of the nation, it adds:
I'VE may as well bear in mind, how
ever. the plain. unromantic fact that
even patriotism and zeal cannot be de-
pended upon indefinitely as a practical
remedy for business trouble. Sooner
or later the finances of the country must
be placed upon solvent basis, and COM
mon sense take the place of enthusi-
asm as the inspiration of our financial
policy. We cannot go on borrowing
forever. Some day or another the eff
feet of chronic impecuniosity must un-
dermine our credit. In the midst of the
general rejoicing over this magnificent
expression of confidence in the resources
and the good faith of the Union we may
as well stop to consider for moment
the solemn truth that we should be
much better off today had we not made
the expression necessary by an unwise
and improvident governmental policy.
No one doubted that the American peo-
pie were loyal. No one doubted that in
time of need they would rally as one
man to the support of the nation of
their love. Gratifying as this demon
stration has been, the country could
well have done without 1t. Every SUBJ
stantial interest in the land could have
been much more effectually and whole
somely promoted by legislation that
would have kept the treasury out of
debt and brought the public revenue up
to the largest possible estimate of ju-
dicious public expenditure. 1t is good
to know, of course, that the government
can still borrow money. 1t were inf

A Confession of IncOmpetency,

Mr. Clevelands explanation OF his
syndicate bond deal Of one year ago,
whereby the government sold for 104ls
bonds easily worth III, is that he had
only two days to spare and therefore
could not wait for a popular loan. This,
If false. is a statement which would
warrant his impeachment. and If true,
1t is humiliating rejection upon the
foresight Of his secretary of the treas
ury. who should have been man able
to look more than 4s hours ahead.
No fact Is more thoroughly estab-
lished than that the gold reserve began
to dwindle the moment the federal
revenues became insufficient to meet
current expenses. When the president
saw that the Wilson bill threatened a
deficit, 1t was his duty to provide
against such an emergency by urging
an adjustment of the tariff schedules
which would have provided adequate
revenues. To ignore this duty clearly
meant the jeapordizing Of the gold re-
serve. inasmuch as that reserve was
not protected by law and could not be
artificially protected by temporary ex-
pedients such as the deal with the Nor
gan syndicate, from impairment.
Thus from either standpoint Mr..
Cleveland's recent statement in the
Evening Post interview is a confession
of incompetency

Minnesota river, was settled about
week ago, and Mr.. Fritsche Monday

the settlement was caused by the re-

to maintain proper wagon crossings
for all time on Mr.. Fritsche's farm,
which was deemed of vital importance
by him.

Maltby, the wheelman who has been
around the world n couple of times
and who is quite well known in Homo
lulu, has written very well several
books. But he has heretofore pro-
duced nothing in the literary line half
80 good as an advertisement he is
now running in papers of New York
City. Maltby represents that he is
making IA shipment of bicycles for
Honolulu. He intimates broadly that
the folks down here will be simply
delighted with even an old type OF
second hand machine and that for this
reason he will trade New Workers and
all corners new bicycles for old ones.
He says nothing about boot" in the
ad, but will most likely mention It in
every trade. The whole thing is
plausible and will go like gold bricks
in New York. Maltby nicely fits the
