WHAT'S A LYCEUM?
HERE'S THE ANSWER.
A Catechism Giving All the
Details of the
Plan.
EVERY QUESTION is ANSWERED.
The Details of Organization, What 1t Means,
the Men It Will Bring Here and
Other Particulars.
w hat is a lyceum ?

What is lyceum?
A lyceum is local organization,
formed for the purpose of mutual i'm
provement and for providing health
full entertainments for It's members.
How are lyceums operated?
The local organizations become mem
bers of the general organization, and
through it are supplied with attrsc-
tions, such as lectures, concerts, etc.
What Is the character of these en-
tertainments?
They are given by the most eminent
men of the day, IN politics, literature
and art. They are, therefore, both
clean and instructive. and bring the
people in close contact with the lead
ers Of public thought and action.
Name some of these men.
They include such authors as F j..
Marion Crawford, James Lane Allen,
Opie Reed; such humorists as II. w.
j. Ham, Eli Perkins, George w. Peck !;
such lecturers as Lyman Abbott, L.
Dewitt Talmage, Murat Halstead !;
such orators as Henry Watterson,
John Temple Graves; such musical or
ganizatiOns as the Boston Ideal club,
the Schubert Symphony company, the
Remenyi Concert company.
Does Brunswick need a lyceum?
Brunswick assuredly does. We
have no opera house, and there will
be no entertainments here this winter
worthy of the name. If the people
want good, healthful entertain ment
they should organize lyceum.
How can Brunswick organize a ly-
ceum?
BY the association of $50 citizens for
the purchase of sufficient admissions
to secure list of attractions.
How much must each member con-
tribute?
Each member must contribute So,
for which he will receive two season
tickets, giving him two admissions to
every entertainment offered.
How many entertainments will
there be?
With $50 paid memberships at So
each, there will be $3.50 in the treas
ury. Seven entertainments can be
procured tor $675-any seven that the
Iyceum may select from the list of the
Southern Lyceum Association. This
will leave $75 for hall rent and Incl
dentals.
How will this plan figure out with
eaCn lnQlVlQual memOer
Each member will receive fourteen
admissions for his So, which means
cost of only about 351@ cents for each
admission. 1t usually costs 81 to see
an ordinary theatrical attraction. By
this plan you hear really great man
talk or lecture, or listen to fine musi-
cal organization for one. third of the
money.
How about persons who are not
original paid members?
They mnst pay 80 cents admission
to each entertainment. This fund
may prove sufficient to secure addi-
tional lectures during the season, in
which event the original So members
will have the privilege OF attending
them without extra charge. The
more members the more entertain
ments for your 50.
Is there any private profit in the
scheme?
None whatever. The finances, etc.,
are managed by the officers elected by
the members, and full account must be
made of all transactions to the entire
lyceum.
In short, then, lyceum is coop

ANSWER TO INQUIRER.

The Constitution of the United
States gives to Congress the power
''to establish a uniform rule of natur-
alization.''
A State may grant citizenship under
State laws, but the person receiving
the grant is not a citizen of the United
States.
Section 2165 of the Laws of the
United States provides that a person
who desires to become citizen, must
declare his intention to become so,
two years before he can be admitted.
And he must have resided five years
within the United States before he
can receive a certificate of naturaliza-
ton.
Some States admit persons to citizen
ship within brief period, but, as we
have said, this is not citizenship of the
United States.

On Citizenship.

MIR. EDITOR:-Will you please an
swer the following questions through
your paper: 1. Is the naturalization
law of the United States of America a
national law, or does each State make
it's own naturalization laws? q How
long does foreigner have to be in the
country before he declares his inten-
ton or takes out his first papers, and
after taking his first papers, how long
does he have to remain in the country
to get his final papers and become a
citizen? 3. Is there any State in the
Union where a foreigner can become
citizen and vote on six-months' OF
years residence?
By answering the above you will
oblige an INQUIRER.

lyn ever had. He is the President
of Columbia College, and has
given it 100000. And he has
now resigned his office, and runs
as the Citizens candidate for
Mayor of Greater New York.
Bitterly opposed to him is the
Regular Republican party. 1t
calls him a mugwump, as he is,
renegade, and horrible ''pessi
mist" since he predicted the down
fall of that party, unless it mended
its ways. So the Republicans have
nominated their own man, and
the chances are that the city gov
eminent will get into the hands of
Tammanv again. Thousands of
good Republicans will not vote for
Mr.. Low, because he is independ-
ent. They do not wish to see a
bad man in office, but they will
not see an independent man in
office. even if he is good man,
and has proved himself to be so.
The amusing feature of the bust
ness is, that the Tammany Press
delivers pious lectures on the sub
iect of party LOYALTY, and the
great need of party government,
because, by pursuading the Re
pubEcans to hold out, Tammany
will be let in. Innocent and good
men, when they are told about
these sinful workings IN politics,
generally say, it is too wicked to
be true.
Within a couple of weeks the
greatest municipal election ever
held in the United States will take
place. If Mr.. Low is elected, il
will be one of the grandest
triumphs of good Citizenship.
though the Republicans and Dem
ocrats will call it the victory OF
men who wanted Doodle only.

MR.. FITZGERALD'S REPLY.

Senator White of California |
repeats in the Call, what he has
already said in the Senate, on the
subject of annexation.
His strong political friend and
supporter, Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald, replied to him at
length, but the reply had not
been published at the date of the
sailing of the last steamer. The
copy of it, which we have received
contains some new matter on the
subject, as may be seen on reading
such portions of it as we print
elsewhere.
In making the point that If |
Senator Whites views are correct,
California and Alaska should not
have been admitted to the Union,
Mr.. Fitzgerald shows the Senator's
lame conclusions. It is the argu-
ment against territorial expansion,
urged since the. time of the Louisi-
ana purchase. One class OF men
believe that Uncle Sam has
weak digestion and cannot assim-
ilate in his political stomach all
sorts of stuff. The other class are
very confident that the American
giant can swallow even political
ten-penny nails, without doing
himself any harm. If the Senator
were sure of it, that the annexation
of the Islands would give the
Democratic party two reliable
Senators, he would not hold the
gloomy views that he does. At
least, this is the inference to be
drawn from partisan history.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's statement that
ten thousand white men can do
the work Of $4,000 to 10000
Chinese and japanese is, we be-
lieve correct. There would have
to be, of course, much readjust-
ment. before it could be done. We
believeaon the most abundant evil
dence. that the white man can
labor here to great advantage,
provided it is made white mans
country. by law. That Is, that the
laborer shall have an interest In
the soil, and not be forced to ac-
cept leases of land only.
Mr.. sFitzgerald's reasons for not
pressing white emigration, at pres
ent, are certainly sufficient, if it is
true that the existence OF penal
labor law here, is repulsive to the
American farmer, even if it does
not affect him.
By the act of our Senate, in
ratifying the treaty of annexation,
the penal labor contract law was
virtually repealed. The moment
the American Senate ratities the
treaty, it will be claimed that it Is
finally repealed. ~
Mr.. Fitzgerald believes that
when this event takes place, the
introduction of white labor will bt
feasible.
Mr.. Fitzgerald also believe:
that while the question of annexa
ton is pending it is not advisable
to urge white emigration. For
should annexation fail, he believe
reciprocity will also fail, and thu
white emigrant would be left IL
bad fix. This is unfortunate
Every hour of delay permits the
roots of the Asiatic communities t.
reach deeper into the soil.
What the result will be, shoult
annexation fail, no one can pre-
diet. The United States will no
give up the control of these Isl
ands, or exclude them from "theil
sphere of influence" But much
injury would fall upon the grea
sugar interest, which is the very
air of our industrial life.
