Naturalization Frauds.

The special investigation of the sub.
ject of naturalization under the direc-
tion of the attorney general and the
consequent prosecutions reveal condi-
tion of affairs calling for the immedi-
ate attention of the congress. For
geries and perjuries of shameless and
fragrant character have been perpe-
trated not only in the dense centers of
population, but throughout the country,
and it is established beyond doubt that
very many so called citizens of the
United States have no title whatever
to that right and are asserting and en-
joying the benefits of the same through
the grossest frauds. 1t is never to be
forgotten that citizenship is, to quote
the words recently used by the SUI
preme court of the United States, an
"inestimable heritage" whether it pro-
ceeds from birth within the country
or is obtained by naturalization, and
we poison the sources of our national
character and strength at the fountain
if the privilege is claimed and exer-
cised without right and by means of
fraud and corruption.
The federal grand jury lately in ses-
sion in New York city dealt with this
subject and made presentment which
states the situation briefly and forcibly
and contains important suggestions for
the consideration of the congress. This
presentment is included as an appendix
tc the report of the attorney general.
Public Land and Postal Frauds.

nection with the subject of the due

which are or may become injurious to

Firenen Planning to Have a Little

At a meeting of the members Of the fire
department held at the Hose house on
Silver street, Tuesday evening, it was de-
cided to have field day. Sept. 23, and a
committee on prizes and one on arrange
ments were appointed. The latter was
given full authority to make all the ar
ransements and to make up the complete
program for the day. The general plan,
however, is to have a series of contests
among the different companies in the city
and perhaps a few invited ones from
nearby towns in the afternoon and then

or less practicing through the summer
land with the time that will be afforded
before the field day will be in condition

the prizes will be determined upon and

The two teams are very rapidly getting

Waterville has been getting along very

Many Americans who, when in the
States, are strong party adherents.
openly express regret that there is IL
prospect of national politics being in
troduced into Porto Rico, and argue
that, while nothing will be gained,
much may be lost. At present Repub-
licans and Democrats work harmoni-
ously together in all the departments,
and a man rarely inquiries as to the
politics of his neighbor. If the Repub
licans and Democrats line up as party
men, it will naturally follow that the
party in power at Washington will fill
most of the offices in Porto Rico, where
there is no Civil Service to prevent.
This may lead to decentralization, ow-
ing to frequent changes, and impair
efficiency
The organizing of the Democrats
continues. On Sunday last, at Ponce.
a club was organized, and the move
ment in that part of the island had Il
new impetus. Many Federals, how
ever. are opposed to merger, preferring
to maintain organization on existing
lines. They argue that if the Democ-
racy is beaten in the United States, the
political hopes of every one here allied
to it in the campaign of 1904 will be
dashed for at least four years. Munoz
Rivera, of New York, the Federal lead
err in the States, is against the change,
and still has much influence. He de-
clares that the Republicans are simply
trying to cause a schism in the Federal
ranks, and warns his followers not to
be hoodwinked.

PORTO kicAN POLITICS.
TO Ask Recognition Here-Break in
Local Parties.

San Juan, P. R., Aug. 25.-The effort
made to introduce national politics in
Porto Rico, started by movement to
organize the national Democratic party
here is leading. to complications which
threaten to disrupt the Federal and
Republican parties as they now exist in
the island.
To offset the Democratic movement,
which has gained considerable strength
through promises of home rule, terri
torial rights and various other "bene-
fits" the leaders of the Porto Rico Re-
publican party have begun to move
for admission into the Republican Ma
tional party. The three most active
pioneers of this crusade are DR.. Jose
c. Barbosa, the BLACK Croker" and
Booker r. Washington" of the Repub
iican party of Porto Rico; DR.. Jose
Brioso, his Republican colleague in the
Executive Council. and Manuel F. Ros-
sy, Speaker of the House of Delegates.
The Republican district leaders
throughout the island are working un-
der the leadership of these three men.
FREDERICK Degeteau, the Commissioner
to the United States from Porto Rico,
also a Republican, is not enthusiastic
in support of the change.
A committee, probably composed of
Drs. Barbosa and Brioso and Speaker
Rosy, will appear next spring before
the Republican National Committee
when it meets to fix the date for the
Presidential convention. These Porto
Ricans will ask that the regular quota
of delegates based on population be ac-
corded to Porto Rico and seated in the
national convention. They will also
ask that Porto Rico be represented on
the committee on resolutions and that a
plank be inserted in the platform
pledging territorial rights to the island
as soon as conditions warrant such adj
vancement. The national committee
will be urged to organize regularly the
Republican party in Porto Rico and
back it in the full meaning of the term.
The local Republicans seem convinced
that support like this, carrying with
it at least the tacit Endorsement of the
administration in Porto Rico. will be
of great help in the local campaign in
the fall of 1904, when a new House of

"The Two Orphans"

The appearance of Kate Claxton in
The Two Orphans at the Johnson
Opera house. Tuesday evening. al
though not drawing a large audience
on account of the rain, was seen by Il
house that thoroughly appreciated the
piece and the artistic manner in which
Miss ClaxtOn's company presented it.
The weather of the evening was not
at all suitable for the opening of the
house and the fact that the play was
not largely attended is by no means
Il discredit to the piece and company.
The strong cast brought out all the
strong points in the popular production
and it's presentation in this city will
rank among the good things seen here.
1t certainly was a high-clasS opening
attraction and if a like selection is
continued for presentation in this city
Il successful season is assured.
