CHINESE As CITIZENS.

InS supreme court OF the Dnlted states
has recently decided tina. under fall
construction OF the Fourteenth Amend
ment TO the Constitution a person borr
in this country of Chinese parents wnc
are at the time subjects Of the Emperor
of China Is a citizen of the United States
and may enjoy all the privileges of such
citizens. "e
This opinion, from which two Of the
| justices dissented, has caused no little
| comment. The language of the amend
ment on which the decision is based is
that ''all persons born or naturalzcd In
| tho United States and subject to the
| Jurisdiction thereof are citizens Of the
they reside" Henceforth the Mongolians
who come within the provisions of the
Constitution will enjoy the right of fran
chise. for neither the Federal Govern
ment nor any State can deny or abridge
that right on account of race color, or
previous condition of servitude."
Heretofore the pig-tailed Celestial, no
matter where born. has been altogether
debarred from the privileges of natural
izaton and citizenship, and has had
no voice in the affairs Of our nation. The
Revised Statutes specially provide that
the only persons who may become citizens
by renouncing their allegiance to their
native land are alien friends who are
white people ana persons Of African ma
tivity, or Of African descent. This pro-
hibition does not appear to have worried
the Acknowledged Orientals in the least.
and the probabilities are that even had
they been permitted. very few OF the
Chinese would have taken out naturali-
cation papers.
According TO the statistics of the Chi
cago Tribune the last census showed
10000 Cinnamon in this country, and OF
that number only about 1000 were born
in this land. Doubtless they have
increased in number since then: but.
after all, those who will be able TO avail
themselves OF the recent decision are very
few. 1T is hardly probable they can do
much mischief at the polls. even If they
are disposed TO be troublesome.
When the resolution providing for the
of Hawaii was under conside-
ration in Congress, the Chinaman was a
subject of no small part of the discussion.
There are 10000 of the Celestials in the
Sandwich Islands, and the people OF the
Pacific coast feared that If Hawaii were
these unwelcome strangers
would leave the islands and locate in this
And SO, in dread of such an
evil, the resolution provides that no Chi |
nese person shall be allowed to enter |
the United States from the Hawaiian |
Islands. The opponents of annexation |
that this provision would be |
unconstitutional, as all the Chinese domi- |
ciled there would become American cit-
zers, and could not be kept from going |
where they pleased, despite the exclusion
laws
This. however. may be an extreme
view. The decision of the Supreme Court |
will probably apply to those henceforth
born of Chinese parents on the islands,
but not to those now residing there. Those
people were not citizens of the republic
my more than Chinese heretofore re-
siding in America were American citi-
,ens. They will probably remain just
what they are at present-subjects of the
Emperor of China.

The United States Agricultural Depart
ment continues immune" TO the criticism
that If It wishes to serve the country
people better than 1t is doing it should
give the names of the counties whence
its crop reports come. The mention of
the grand division Of the State is not
sufficient Not many farmers know where
Sunbeam" is or "Quinton." or New
town." or 'Merry Point" or "Herndon."
or "Adrianee," or "Gaines's Cross Roads,"
or "San Marino," or "Fugate's HILL" or
"Daleville," or "Trigg." or "Corinth."
In each of these reports the name Of the
county should have been given. To our
certain knowledge. the neglect OF this
detail has been a cause OF criticism of
the department. However, we believe.
now that the matter has been brought
10 its attention. the department will be
prompt to remedy the omission complain
ed of.

Miles. it appears. was expected by the
authorities at Washington to land In
Porto Rico at Fajardo. on the northeast
coast OF the island. but it is now an
nounced that Guanica. where he did land,
has many advantages over FaJardo as
a landing-place for our army. 1t is be-
lieved that Miles made the change Of plan
on the advice of naval officers 1t is
stated that "the entrance To Guanica is
much better than that to Fajardo.' and
that "for twenty-five miles from Guanica
toward San Juan there is railroad, and
for the rest of the distance a wide, hard,
macadamized road" while from Fajardo
to San Juan there is simply cart track"
The distance from Guanica TO San Juan
is about eighty miles, and in his march
to the latter city General Miles will con-
quer the territory over which he passes.

DEATH OF Al FAST PAGER.

Edward c. Died Suddenly at Allentown,
 Pa.-Hts Remarkable Race-Wtnning g
 Record Several Races Won by Dan e.
 J. H. Bronson of this city has had the misfortune to lose by death his fast young pacer, Edward G, PIP IA. The death of the horse occurred at Allen town, Penn, on Thursday of this week, at the close of the third heat of the race in which the horse was one of the con- testants, in the hands of John Shilling law. After the horses passed under the wire Edward G slackened his speed, staggered, fell and died before he could be removed from the track. At this time the third heat of the race had just closed, the three heats being won by three horses. It was the policy of the driver to lay up the heats until he could see an opportunity to win, which he probably would have done under or dinary circumstances. Edward G, PIP IA, was four years old, sired by the celebrated Baron Wilkes, 2:13, and was full brother to the remarkably fast pacer, Bumps, 2:04 1-2. As a reliable race horse MT. Bronson's pacer was re- markable. He had won twelve races and had never lost race. During last week he won race at Bethlehem, Pa Edward was purchased by MT. Bron- son last spring at price supposed to be about $1,50G.
 MT. Bronsons fast pacer, Dan A, has won every race in which he has started since his present owner bought him. Last week at Plattsburgh, N. Y, he won the free-for-all race and paced a heat on the half mile track in 2:08 1-2 At this time MT. Bronson offered to show a heat in 2:07 if the association would offer a special purse for a fast heat.
 During the week Dan A won good race at St Albans, Vt, and reduced the race record for the state to 2:09 1-2. Dan A has not lost heat since MT. Bronson bought him.

BOARD or FINANCE.


 The board of finance met yesterday morning and approved the usual week. ly bills, but refused to approve bill from the Southern New England Tele- phone company for $61. The bill was was for underground conduits which the telephone company put in and which the city was to use for fire and police signal wires. The company has been laying these conduits for years under an agreement which was ver- bally made with William c. Smith, for mer superintendent of fire alarm tele- graph.
 The charter prohibits the city from giving out any work which will cost $lOO or more except by contract. The telephone company's bill was only $61, but this was for the fire department alone, and another bill for the same amount will be presented against the police department. Therefore as the total bill is above $10O the board of finance decided that payment of the bill would be in violation of the charter, as the conduit work was not let out by contract.
 The city has altogether paid the tele- phone company $1O0OO on the conduit account
 The board also approved of the attor- neys' bills in the case of the town of New Haven against Yale university. John w. filings bill was $75O and the bills of William B. Stoddard and J. P. Goodhart were $750 combined.
