Wedding Out an Appropriation
Bill.

Congress has been acquiring
bad habits in incorporating sub
jects of general legislation that
doubtless could not be passed if
the matters were to stand upon
their own merit, by making these
subjects a part of general appro-
priation bills. Senator Curtis, Of
Kansas, succeeded in eliminating
a great many measures involving
large sums Of money which had
been included in the Indian ap-
preparation bill. A portion of
these were in payment of exorbi-
tant fees for attorneys for SER
vices to the Indians, and it is
generally conceded that a ma
jority of these claims could not
be established in any manner, ane
have no show of passage upon
their own merit; therefore, the
including Of them in the appropri-
alton bill is plainly an imposition
upon the American public. Mr.
Curtis made a vigorous fight and
in the face of a great opposition.
but succeeded in having the item
stricken from the bill.

-Four thousand Bible students

an attack on the "hell fire and

wicked. These students repre-
sent the different Protestant de-

AFFAIRS AT
WASHINGTON
Matters Concerning the Law
Makers and Events of Impor-
tance at the National CAPITAL.

Washington, D. G., July 49,
The story of 1.-The Man Without a
Country" written by Doctor Ed
ward Everett Hale, is classed as
one Of the most famous short
stories ever written. Doctor Hale
dealt in fiction, but congress has
Just solved another case, and the
circumstances surrounding this
individual are decidedly extraondi-
nary. Senator Lodge in telling
the senate Of the necessity for
special legislation to grant Ameri-
can citizenship to Eugene Prince,
remarked that "It is a very pecu-
liar case. | never heard of one
like ~ 1t appears that the
Prince family settled in Massa--
chusetts in 1643 and most of the
family still reside in the old Bay
State. Many years ago, the grand
father Of Eugene Prince went to
Russia as the representative of a
Boston institution and established
himself there. To his household
John Henry Prince was born, and
remained an American citizen,
and has resided in Russia all his
life. His son, Eugene Prince, was
also born in Russia. Under the
Laws of the United States all chill
dren whose fathers were, at the
time Of their birth, citizens of the
United States and who are born
out of the limits Of this country,
are declared to be citizens of the
United States, but the rights of
citizenship shall not descend to
children whose fathers never re-
sided in the United States. This
last clause fitted the case of Eu-
gene Prince, who likewise under
the laws of Russia, where he re-
sided for the twenty-five years OF
his lifetime, was not a Russian
subject. Young Prince desired
to return to the United States,
and it was found that no pass
ports could be issued in his
favor because he was citizen of
no country The easy way would
have been for Eugene Prince to
have sworn allegiance to the czar
but this he refused to do, declar-
ing that for him to take this mea-
sure to leave Russia, and then
proceed at once to the United
States for the purpose Of renoun-
eng that very allegiance, would
not be consistent or honorable.
Young Prince determined that he
would be recognized as a citizen
of the United States, and the
American ambassador finally Sc
cured for him letter from the
Russian government allowing him
to leave the country Upon his ar.
rival N the United States it was
found that here was no law by
which he could become an Ameri-
can citizen The man without a
country appealed to congress,
with the result that special act
Of this greatest legislative body
in the world has been passed in
order to restore to him the rights
Of Ameriacn citizenship, which
his family enjoyed for over 300
years.

Going After Judges of High
Degree.

Judge Archibald, of the Com
merce court, one of the greatest
tribunals of the nation, must de-
fend himself before the senate in
answer to the Indictment of the
house charging in thirteen counts
that he has been guilty of cor
ruption and offenses of a les
ser degree. At the same time 2
congressional investigation of a
federal judge is being conducted
in the city of Seattle. On top of
this. one of the country's great
est magazines has this month pub
lished charges against a half
dozen federal judges, which are
plainly libelous if they cannot be
proven. In view Of these specific
instances, it is little wonder that
the question of placing the judi
ciary within easier reach of tho
people has found it's place in pub
lie discussion and in the affairs
of political parties.
