Recent occurrences in Asia Minor
and in Central America warrant the
belief that there is more than one
serious phase to the immigration ques-
tion We have to deal not only with
the undesirable immigrant who comes
to this country and stays here, but
likewise with the undesirable immi-
grant who comes here long enough
to acquire American citizenship and
then goes back to plot against the gov
ernment Of his native land, relying
upon the protection of the United
States government when he is in dan
ger Of being shot or hanged. In both
cases the American people are the vic
tins of their own generosity in the
matter of naturalization laws. 1t Is
the advisability of revising those laws.
We grant the privileges of citizenship
to anybody who asks for them. Oc-
casionally judge will take the trou-
BILE to examine and reject an applicant
because Of his confessed ignorance Of
our language, laws and institutions,
but as general thing new citizens are
ground through the judicial hopper as
rapidly as they can make the neces-
sary affidavits. This, of course, op-
crates to increase the number of un-
desirable citizens-both those who
stay in this country and those who re-
turn to their native countries TO stir
up trouble. The remedy in the case of
the former class is more difficult than
with respect to the latter. 1t is doubt
full whether congress, influenced as it
is by fears Of political consequences,
will go so far as to restrict immigra-
ton or even seriously to raise the
qualifications for citizenship. Prob
ably, therefore, we shall have to take
care of our home-staying immigrants
as best we may, without hoping for
any great Improvement in their intel
ligence or general desirability. We
can, however, deal easily enough with
the naturalized American who uses his
citizenship as a cloak under which to
prosecute revolutionary designs
against the country to which he has
forsworn allegiance. We can repudi-
ate him altogether, making a provision
in the naturalization laws to meet such
cases. This country should not permit
itself to be used as mere convenience
by plotters and revolutionaries.

1t is an interesting tribute to the
habit Of acquiescence, which becomes
second nature among English-speaking
peoples, that SO great post as the
viceroyalty of India should have
changed hands with so little jar and
such scant comment. Lord Curzon re-
signed his almost royal powers, and
his successor was appointed with
scarcely more comment in England
than a change Of heads in Tammany
Hall would have called out here.
There is general agreement that Lord
Curzon has been one of the ablest
rulers of that long line which began
with the great Warren Hastings,
whose impeachment history and liter
ature made famous. He gave up his
great office because, by implication at
least the British government support
ed the contentious Of Lord Kitchener,
the commander-ln-chief of the Indian
army, rather than those Of Lord Cur
zon. What these contentious were is
not of great Importance to Americans,
but 1t may be said that in a general
way they had to do with reform in the
Indian army, and with Lord Curzon's
unwillingness to subordinate the pow
ers Of the military member of his
council to the desires of Lord Kitch-
ener The Earl of Mimic, the new
viceroy, has been trained in military
as well as in civil affairs. He acted
as private secretary to Lord Roberts
In South Africa in 1881, served in the
Mounted Infantry during the Egyp-
tan campaign Of 1882, was secretary
to Lord Landsdowne when he was
the Indian viceroy, helped put down
the Riel rebellion, and has twice been
Governor-General Of Canada. From
his second service In that position he
retired less than a year ago, after
an administration marked by acts
which left the impress of his person
ality on the affairs of the Dominion.
In India he will have wider field
for the exercise of his administrative
powers.

Not a Stone Unturned.

Not being familiar with Manhattan.
the man wrote to the commissioner of
his loss, and asked him to do his best
to find the missing article. The COM
missioner answered that he would do
all in his power to recover the watch.
and that he would not leave stone
unturned in the search
A short while after this the man
happened to be in New York again
and business took him in the direction
Of Park avenue. At a glance he took

material from the torn-up street. Rusb-
