PORTO RICANS ARE CITI.
ZENS.
Supreme Court Admits Native
Lawyer to Practice-Citi-
zenship is a Prerequi-
site.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The
Supreme Court of the United
States has in effect decided that
a citizen of Porto Rico is citi-
zen of the United States. In
some quarters the courts action
is regarded as foreShadowing a
decision i'll the test cases that the
Constitution follows the flag.
Only citizens of the United
States are admitted to practice in
the Supreme Court. The court
does not examine applicants for
admission as to their knowledge
Of the law, but requires that they
shall have been admitted to the
highest courts of their own States
and shall have had IA certain
number of years practice.
FREDERICK Degetau, resident
commissioner of Porto Rico in the
United States, was admitted by
the court yesterday on the state
ment that he is member of the
bar of the highest court in Porto
Rico. Mr.. Degetau is the first
native Porto Rican admitted.

THE CITY APPOINTMENT rs
MADE.

Disappointed Yes, of course, some
are disappointed. Did any set Of men
ever file their applications for public or
private positions without some one
being disappointed after the appoint
ments were made Well this is the case
now The people however were inter
ested in having competent and credit
able appointments for our city govern
ment. Some of those who were not
appointed We're just as good and just as
deserving as those who drew the prizes.
There were not enough places to 90
around: all could not succeed, 50 let Us
look at the successful ones whilst We
share in the disappoiutments and re
gret that a greater number of deserv-
ing Democrats could not have been
selected Prof Smith, cur Mayor
elect, has dealt most generously with
those who opposed him for the nomi-
nations, yet who acted like true Demo
Gratis in standing by the majority Of
their party who were for smith for our
nominee. His chief competitor Mr.
Yeakle, he has made superintendent Of
our streets, most important and re-
sponsible position Dr. Thomas has
been made health officer and Mr.
Eisenhauer has been recognized in
making out his appointments As
r,ppr,tiaaI oil f4gf iAI- a. tina n
been recognized and seldom has
better set Of men ever been selected in
our city. We are glad to learn that our
Mayor is determined to hold his APP
p0intets to faithful discharge Of their
respective duties These men, whilst
Democratic appoiutees, are the public
servants Of the people, paid out of the
taxes gathered from Republicans aud
Democrats alike, and are expected to
prove themselves competent and atten-
tive to their duties The police will be
intrusted with the protection Of the
property and lives of our citizens; good
order at any cost must be maintained.
Disgraceful scenes of negro rowdyism
which simply brings discredit upon the
law-abiding colored people, should be
ended at once. Democratic magistrates
and Democratic police can now work
in harmony without any injustice to
any class of our people. Our Board Of
Aldermen have some serious questions
before them. Unfortunately the in
debtedness of Frederick City is very
large and little more can be added.
Something should be done with our
miserable streets. Let our books be |
first thoroughly examined by an eX-
pert accountant and let the people !
know just how they stand, then the
present board can act in an intelligent
way. 1t has been long time since we
have had full report of the actual
condition of the affairs of Frederick
City.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

Next Monday the newly elected
Democratic Mayor, George Edward
smith, takes the oath of office and all
the new city officials qualify and
give bond for the faithful performance
of their duty 1t should be a matter
of great satisfaction to our people to
again have our city in the hands of
those best fitted by long experience
to govern it,
The Republican administration was
very unsatisfactory and the people
wisely put an end to it at the last elec-
ton
Having gained the confidence of the
community, the party, through its ser
wants in office, must measure well up
to public expectations and demands,
Many shortcomings must be mmedi-
ately remedied and the peace and wei
fare of the city carefully looked after.
one Of the first things is to reorgau-
ize and control the police department.
1t sadly needs it, Considering that it
is the safeguard of personal life and
liberty in the community, it is one of
the most important branches Of the
public service.
Mayor-elect Smith is charged with
this duty to the people. His appoint
ments are first.class and no doubt each
officer feels the tsponsibility Of his po-
sition and means to do his best. But,
alas, for human fraltieS and the temp
tationS of life without a guiding hand
or warning voice to point out error
and reprimamd at once any breach Of
official etiquette, oftimes the best men
wander from the path of duty.
Mayor-elect Smith, must, if he
wishes to keep faith with the people
and redeem the pledges made before
his election, keep watchful eye on
the police force They should be warn
ed against loaling III bar rooms, espec-
tally when on duty; should be re-
quired faithfully to patrol their beats
at night, instead Of taking doze at
headquarters or whero not, and not
travel about in pairs, after midnight
for the sake of company.
These things lower the dignity Of the
officers and make it more difficult for
them to command the respect of the
law breakers as well as the better ele-
mrnts.
In this matter we feel the greatest
confidence in our Mayor-elect and
know that to the best OF his ability he
will give our city the best government
in his power
The best interests of the city and the
Improvement Of the force calls for
heroic treatment and we thus call at
teution to the requirements of the sit.
uation 30 that nothing can delay the
much needed reforms.

IL speaking of the new Steamship
Trust recently formed by the Morgan
syndicate, the Rcrord says
'In order to preclude the possibility
Of AN ocean freight combination of
foreign vessel owners against the new
Steel Trust its chief promoter is re-
ported to have bought up one of the
largest transatlantic lines of freight
steamers. The steel combination, if
thus equipped, would be enabled to
dictate practically the ocean freight
rates on bulky steel products for ex-
port and might thus prevent any an
uoying intrusion Of American cOmpe-
tition in foreign markets. But world
wide competition will be none the less
assured, and in "A far wider arena than
ever before. 1t is only the American
consumer who would suffer if the
foreign industrial conflict should wax
fierce and bitter between steel pro.
ducers Sheltered behind an impas-
sable tariff wall, Mr.. Morgan's huge
Steel Trust could safely depend upon
the domestic market to recoup what
ever losses might be incurred in open
international competition"

Subsidies No Guarantee Of
Benefit.

The Charleston Ne1cS and Cour-
Ter makes the point that the pay.
ment of subsidies affords no guar
antee of resulting public benefit.
AS an example it points to the Pa
citic railways, so heavily subsi-
died by the Government. The
history of the dealing of these cor
pOrations with the communities
whose traffic they absolutely con.
trolled is a history ofrapine. The
Government has had no more fav.
orably experience, and the pub.
lie no greater advantage, as the
result of the payment of subsidies
to steamship lines. That also, is
a history of scandal and failure.

Schley Talks to City Enum
orators.

Col. Buchanan Schley, State
Census Director, talked to the
enumeratorS for the city of Balti.
more at headquarters Monday
night and explained their duties
and the Importance of Il fair and
impartial count.
He stated that this census on
the part of the State had been
made necessary by the frauds in
the Federal census. He said
further:
"ThiS is not a partisan charge,
but the frauds have been con
fesSed by the parties-by the
enumerators themselves. Crimi-
nal proceedings have been begun
by the Federal authorities, and
they claim to be very much in
earnest in this work and express
the desire and intention to find
out and prosecute vigorously all
who were engaged in it. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped that this will
be done, no matter where the in
quiry leads or whom it may effect.
The sincerity of their professions
will be proved by the thorough
ness and good faith with which
this work is done by those having
it i'll charge. AS for our own
State census, it must be free from
the frauds that disgraced the
Federal census

Recipes for Cleaning Straw
Hats, Kid Gloves, Laces,
Ribbons, ETC..
Written for the Citizen.)

There is an added grace and
charm in dainty toilet. The
word itself suggests all kinds of
possibilities; an art in the manner
of putting on ones clothes helps
wonderfully. AS young girls
grow up it is right to teach them
the science Of caring for their be-
longingS. | am pleased with the
requests from young girls who
say that their desire is to make
a small allowance go as far as it
can, aud yet they wish to appe ar
as stylish as possible. and hence
they must help themselves to do
so, and they desire to know how
to clean hats, kid gloves, etc.
No one can be we'll gowned I'M
less they study to be neat. To
brush their garments and darn
neatly and to such as write to me
-(whO want small allowance to
90 as far as it can) it is a great
feather in their caps to study
ways and means to be neat.
Well, as | have given my lecture

line, and screw the top on tight,
and shake the ribbons up well,
and leave them over night in the
Jar. Next morning the dirt will
all be found at the bottom of the
jar and the ribbons will be fresh
and new. Take them out in the
open air, pull each piece out
straight III your fingers and dry
them in the open air. Leave
them until all odorS are removed.
You can clean hats that are
slightly Soiled by Sprinkling
magnesia upon smooth, white
sheet of writing paper. then lay
the lace upon it and sprinkle more
magneSia over it; cover with
another sheet of paper and lay
a heavy book upon it and leave a
few days, then take the lace up
and brush all the powder out
with Il camel'S hair brush. You
can clean kid gloves nicely by
putting them on your hands and
rubbing them with cream of
tartar until all the stains are
gone.
TO clean straw hats is not so
much trouble and one can save a
good deal by cleaning them at
home, especially when you have
five girls in the family as you
say. You first brush all dust out,
then fill a pail half full Of warm
water and add enough pearline to
make good SudS, then immerse
the straw in it, moving it up and
down until every fiber is wet.
then lift it out and lay on table
and brush with a soft brush.
When clean rinse in warm water.

when dry press the form, using
