FenusyIvania's Shame.

The annual report of the state road
commissioner Of New Jersey. Henry l.
Budd for the year ended oct. 81, 1897, is
a document which ought to cause Penn
sylvanians to feel for their own state a
sense of shame.
Last year New Jersey built G6ia miles
of improved roads, for which the state
laid 100000 ana the counties and prop
erty owners. 100000 This year 90 miles
additional viii he built if the state shall
vote the necessary money. At this time
New Jersey has 23S miles of scientific
road-bed, costing the state $i66, ,595 10,
and the counties and property owners
about $1,000, 900. All this has been ac-
cumplished i'm four years. As result
of this continuous work Commissioner
Budd says the cost or road-building has
been reduced One-thiId with steady
improvement in the quality of the road
bed Opposition to the law has changed
To enthusiasm in its favor and moro
roads are being applied for than can
he built i'm many years under the pres
ent state appropriation. Many counties,
not content 10 wait for state aid, are
going ahead with ruad-building ON their
own account. The report says:
1t costs 9la cents per bushel to ship
wheat from Chicago to New York, a
distance of 900 miles: il costs cents
bushel to haul wheat On level road a
distance Of five miles, and on a sandy
road it would cost at least cents per
mile to haul ii. The saving on a bushel
of wheat with good roads for a distance
of five miles would be about equivalent
to that of 900 miles of transportation by
steamer or canal boat, or of 375 miles
by railroad. one mile of good roads
would make saving equal to "a miles
of railroad transportation. Thus every
mile Of good roads places the producer
IS miles by rail nearer TO the markets.
1t is estimated that the cost of hauling
1000, 600 tons of farm produce to mar
ket is 81 per ton, or just about 81 ,O00,- :
100000: it is also estimated that about
60 per cent, of this last amount, or 5000,
100000, would be saved each year if
farmers We're able to do this hauling
over good roads These statements are
startling, but true, They show the i'm
portance of good roads. The real cost
of transportation that burdens our ag-
ricultural classes is the part of it be-
tween the farm and the town or rail-
way station rather than between the
railway station and the market. The
loss due to bad roads is one of the
greatest wastes of energy connected
with farming, as II is carried on in this
country"
All this is known by intelligent men
to be true. yet wealthy Pennsylvania,
the second greatest commonwealth in
the Union, has not a mile of modern
scientific road-bed constructed under

Safeguarding Naturalizations.

The supplementary rules governing
the granting of naturalization issued
by court yesterday are in the line of
progress and viii receive general ap-
proval Rules similar to these have
been adopted recently in a number of
Pennsylvania counties and in opera
tion have uniformly resulted in an i'm
proved quality of naturalization.
These rules in brief require that each
candidate for citizenship papers file
formal petition, which shall be public
ly advertised and be open to written
rcmonstrance. When remonstrance is
made. the sane shall be passed on in
opcr court but the absen nee of remon-
STRANGE shall not relieve the petitioner
from making out his cause. Every
petitioner will be required 20 testify
before the court i'm the English Ian
suage; to exhibit fair understanding
of commonly spoken English; to show
some comprehension of the constitution
of the United States and of this state
and of our form Of government and of
the duties of a citizen: and to evinCe
All appreciation of the solemnity and
significance of an oath to support
them In other words, citizenship will
NOT hereafter he conferred indiscrim-
inately but will he held as in some
sense Il reward of merit.
The restrictions thus outlined are on
tiraly reasonable. Their strict enforce
ment will not work hardship to any
deserving man or class. IT is mani
festly within the right and duty Of the
people of this country to insist that
aliens whom they adopt shall possess
at least rudimentary symptoms of fit
ncgs for citizenship, and its RESPONSE
bilities. Until such insistence is ligidly
made in every court in the land it VIII
be firCal to a degree to expect good
results in either general or local gov
eminent. When the vote of the intelli-
gent and conscientious citizen is paired
with the vote of an alier in every
thing but the name, we are bound to
have. not progress but retroglession.
To put the ballot into hands in no way
qualified to cast it judiciously and with
fair understanding of the consequent
ces is to reduce popular government
from the proportions Of a diVinely ap-
pointed institution for the preserva-
tion of human liberty to the beggarly
dimensions of travesty on true dem
Ccracy.
The court has done we'll in what It
has done; but what it has done should
have been done years ago.

A Dangerous Precedent.

At the recent primaries in Philadel-
phia out of a total vote of $4,000 the cam
didate favored by Secretary Martin had
on the face of the returns nearly 10000
plurality over the Penrose-Newitt
ticket. The Martin forces. according to
the Press elected over 600 Of the 9Sl
delegates. They lost forty-two dis
tricts by one vote thirty-siX districts
by four votes or under, twenty-seVen
districts by seven votes or less, and
forty-fve districts by ten votes or less
that is, they lost $50 districts by an av-
erage of five or six votes. In other
words. if 1000 of their 10000 majority
could have been rightly distributed they
would have had over $50 delegates. AS
il was, their vote as compared with the
opposition was about two to one, and
delegates"
These figures shed light on the char
acter of the hewitt bolt, which, if it has
not been specifically approved by Sena-
tor Quay, has not so far as our in
formation goes been publicly reproved
by him. These figures show that in a
game. let us admit. of politicians
against politicians, with virtue and
vice probably equally divided between
the contending sides, Martin has so far
outgeneraled his adversaries that the
latter have had to bid for sympathy by
posing before the public in the role of
injured innocents. Whether they will
get much sympathy in consequence of
this pose will be determined later; but
in the meantime, if the Philadelphia
friends of the two United States sena-
tors from Pennsylvania are to set the
state at large an example in boltins
after a decisive cleanup in convention,
by what score of regularity could they
object ii their adversaries on June .
at Harrisburg should decide to treat
them to a return of the compliment?

Immigration and Crime.

We quoted yesterday, from an article
by Police Magistrate Neuel Of New

of arrests in that city which tended to
show that urban society is steadily i'm

figures from the standpoint of nativity
is equally interesting.

ords, which cover a period of "A years,
England has furnished regularly 3 per
cent, Scotland and France each l per
cent. Italy started in 1877 with l per
cent, which increased to per cent. in
1887 and reached per cent. in 1897
The United States furnished 43 per cent
in 1877, 4e per cent. in 1887, and 80 per
cent. in 1897. Ireland was credited with
SO per cent in 1877, 20 per cent. in 1887.
and 2l per cent, in 1897. Germany had 8
per cent. in 1877, IL per cent in 1887

only countries specifically named in the
