I s THE FCTJAXTON TETBirXE TIE S DAY MOUSING, OCTOBETl 1C, IS!)." OF NATURALIZATION J vhat the Federal and State Law Is on This Subject. CONGRESS KILL HAVE TO ACT Cuveinoi-elcct Outcs, of Alubninu, Ex plii Ins Why Ills Hill to Secure filiform ity .Should Puss The Record in I nckiiHiiiimi County l"pto Piitc. The abuses which have ifurlng the joint few days chiiructcrly.od the oper ations of naturalization court In this county and In Luzerne nouses equally ' distributed, we should guess, between the two political parties, although dis graceful to both hnve renewed atten tion to the law upon this Important sub ject of naturalization. The laws ullke uf state and nation ure plain and ex plicit, anil no Judge of ordinary com prehension could possibly err as to his duty. The following is the text of the law of the nation defining who may be naturalized and how It may be done: "He shall, at the time of his appli cation to be admitted, declare on oath, tie fore some one of the courts above specified, that he will suport the con stitution of the United States, and that he absolutely and entirely re nounces and abjures all iilleijiunee and fidelity to every foreign prince, po tentate, state or sovereignly, ami par ticularly by name to the prince, po tentate, state or wovereignty of which he was before a citizen or subject, which proceeding fdinll he recorded by the court, ft shall appear to the sat isfaction of the court admitting such alien that he has resided within the I 'lilted States live years at least, and within the stale or territory, where such court is at the time held, one year at least, and that during that time he lias behaved as u man of good moral character, attached to the principles uf the Constitution of the L'nitcd Stales and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same; but the unit of the applicant shall in no case he allowed to prove his residence." The national law is thus emphatic that the court must satisfy Itself not only as to the residence of thg,-allen, but as to the character of tlio man who proposes to acquire the priceless boom of American citizenship. The judge is required by the law to fully satisfy himself that the applicant for citizen ship "has liehuved us n man of good moral character, attached to the prin ciples of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same." The State I.uw. tin the same subject the law of our slate, enacted Jan. 80. 1N74, Is even more emphatic In requiring the careful scrutiny of applicants for naturaliza tion. The following Is the text of the law: "it any prothonotary, clerk or the deputy of either, or any other person shall aflix the 'seal of any court to any naturalization paper, or permit the same to be alllzed. or give out, or cause or permit such naturalization paper to be given out In blank, whereby It may he fraudently used, or furnish a naturalization certificate 1u any person, who shall not have been duly examined and sworn in open court in the presence of some of the Judges thereof, according to the act of con gress, or shall aid In, connive at or In any way permit the issue of any frau dulent naturalization certificate, he shall be gullly of a misdemeanor." Congress Failed to Act. An effort was made at the Inst ses sion of congress to strengthen the fed eral provisions touching this subject iovernor-elect Gates, of Alabama who, as a particular champion of this reform, In the last three congresses thoroughly mastered the details of the subject, framed a bill which the house judiciary commltte favorably re ported, but in the flurry and crush In cident to adjournment the Oates meas ure went over until a more favorable opportunity. Speaking of the matter, "Air. Oates said: "Our naturalization laws are exceedingly loose and uncer tain, especially in the matter of neg ligence on the part of a great many of tne courts, which now have the right to naturalize aliens. An Investigation by the judiciary committee brought many glaring abuses on the subject to light. If It is worth anything to be an American citizen then thelawshould be amended so that citizenship shall be restricted to persons worthy of the honor. "The greatest abuses have grown out . of the fact that under our present law an alien may readily declare his intention to become a citizen, and in most of the states he is readily endowed with all or very nearly ull the privi leges of a citizen. And In many eases persons who have thus declared thel intention to become voters neglect to lake out final papers of naturalization The bill before the house reported from the judiciary committee restrict ed naturalization to the federal courts of the United States and to a stitliclent Mimhcr of stale courts of record, cniiris which have a clerk and a seal. JiiJces Not Thought NecesMiry. "In some of the state courts thet have been entrusted with the jurlsdh lion Under the present law, subordinate oltlcers have gone forward with the process of naturalization without even Hie presence of a judge. In one of 1 he investigations we conducted on this subject, we found that hi one of the courts of (he city of Hrooolyn there existed without the knowledge of the judge, a sort of secret organization engaged In the business of milking citizens for pay. "Thejie court subordinates had con trol of The seal of the court und the fiirms of certificates, and would for $:'5 make any man n full fledged clt izen three dnys after he arrived in this country. These abuses grow out of the provision of the law which allows this declaration of Intention on the part of the alien. The bill before the house would have had no retroactive effort but it provides on Its passage that five years residence and good be linvlor In this country should be nec essary to entitle anyone to nuturaliza- llon. "The bill provided that a man after he had resided five years und should have tiled a petition In proper form set ting forth .his claim under the provis ions of the bill, in a court having jur isdiction, giving particulars as to age, nativity, residence, etc., that he is not an Anarchist or a polygamist, and lias never been convicted of a fel oulous offense, or uny crime involving moral turpitude, and when that is done the United' States district, uttorney shall he notified by the clerk and shall leny the allegations so as to make It incumbent on the applicant to produce proof..! f the proof Is sufficient and Halls lies the Judge he makes, an order or decree admitting persons to natural ization, and there is tin end or It. To Prevent Krutid. ' "The hill is so drawn as to prevent fraud and imposition, and at the same time to nllow every worthy alien to be admitted to American citizenship. would like to see the bill amended so as to require each court when It admit led a man to naturalization to send a certificate of. the fact to the state department, where it should bo filed for future use. Air. iiayard when sec- rotary of state advocuted such an amendment to the law and I am In favor of it. Hut because It would In vulva Borne nddltlonul expense it met with opposition In the house and was left out of the pending bill. The prac tice of Imposing on the courts to ob tain naturalization, and in some places a practice participated In by political parties when 'elections are Impending, of mustering up great crowds und hordes of these foreign ers, many of whom are too Ignorant to know even who the president of the United States is, and running them through some sort of a naturalization mill, and faking them like driven cat tle to the polls and voting them, Is something which ought not to be tol erated in this great American repub lic of ours. "I noticed not long ago that in an examination In one of the New York courts an applicant for citizenship stated that George Washington was now the president of the United States. My bill provides that one of the qualifications of citizenship shall be that the applicant must be able to read the constitution of the United States In some language, either English or his own native tongue. That is about as low a standard as we can tlx. .Need of Immigration Sifting. Mr. Oates then went on to say that he hoped an immigration bill would become u law before congress adjourn ed. Speaking on this subject he said: 1 am In lavur, and always have been n favor, of laws regulating immigra tion so as to exclude unworthy persons sliding in the United States. The lis uf our loose system of naturaliza tion, us well as of our inefficient im migration laws are shown by the last census returns. Taking the penltentl ury convicts of the United States and excluding colored persons, and there are more convicts foreign born than native horn. In the charitable insti tutions there are nearly as many for eign born inmates ;ns native born. In almshouses and poor houses, 41 per cent, of the Inmates are of for eign birth. These figures do not prove that Immigration to this coun try Is undesirable, but they do prove that a great many immigrants have been coming here In recent years who ought to have been kept out. "The testimony taken by the f ord Investigating committee some years ago shows that 75 per cent, of all the Inmates of the lunatic asylums ana poor houses of . the states which that committee examined were of foreign birth. The nuine 'Amerlcun citizen' should be esteemed ns thatof a'Roman' when Home was the mlBtress of the world. Such pride can never be felt by our foreign-born citizens, with few exceptions, until the process of confer ring this great boon upon an alien is attended with more solemnity and scru tinized more closely than at present. In New York, according to the la test census there were tiii.lCH foreign born citizens over 21 years of age who could not speak the English language, and who hud not then become citizens, but who have probably reached that stage by this time." Congress Slow Xi Act. There Is small probability that the naturalization bill, pending un im portant election, will receive imy con sideration from the house. The cinn- mltlee on suffrage of the New York constitutional convention recently agreed upon a provision requiring a residence of sixty days after natural ization before a new citizen can be en titled to vote. That committee also had before it u proposition that a represen tative of the state should be detailed from the district attorney's ollice to look alter persons who present them selves In a slate court and apply for naturalization papers. This latter pro vision is similar to the one in the Oates bill. That requiring a residence of sixty days after naturalization be fore a new citizen can be entitled to vote, will be offered ns an amendment to the bill when it comes up In the house, if it ever does ugaln. The Situation in I.uckuwunna. Commenting upon the local aspect of this question not long ago the Oly phant Uazette said: "Statistics show a wonderful increase in citizenship in the coul regions within a few years. The Increase In Lackawanna county, since ly.rj, is said to be 10.OUO .due to the k'tipid increase In population of non-English-speaking foreigners. Close observers say that our courts could assist In purifying the ballot box ir they guarded against issuing citizens' papers to none but competent persons. There Is a growing disposition among several judges throughout the state, to exercise the discretion allowed them by the naturalization laws. Judges Schuyler, of Northhampton, Yerkes, of l'.ucks. and Craig, of Carbon, have taken a possitive stand on this ques tion and decline to issue papers to ap pllcants who do not possess the ne cessary requirements. Besides the resi dence quail lictttlon, the statutes pro vide that applicants must be men of good moral character who are attacnea to the constitution or the united states. 'A certain class of aliens, who do not understand the language and who never saw the constitution of the united States, are naturalized in our courts every year. How can these men be at tached to the constitution wnen tney can neither read nor understand it? The majority of them know absolutely nothing of the principles upon wnicn this government Is formed, and do not care to learn. They are simply driven to the courts in charge of ward poli ticians and interpreters, secure papers which give them the right to vote as the politicians direct, und that s all. sucn men as these should not be granted the privilege to vote and perhaps decide elections until they understand what thev are doing. They should llrst learn the language of the country ana im bibe some little knowledge or our insti tutions before acquiring the right or citizenship. No doubt the majority of them will in time become goou citizens. Hut at present the courts should ex ercise the greatest care In passing upon the applications or men wno uon t Know what they apply for." OCTOBER. When comrades seek sweet country haunts O suns and skies and clouds or June, And flowers of June together. Ye cuiumt rival for one hour iietolvii's brluht blue weather: When loud the bumble-bee makes haste, Helaled, thrlllless vagrant, And goldenrod Is dying fast, And lunes with grupes ure fragrant; When gentians roll their fringes light, To save them for the morning. And chestnuts fall from satin burrs Without a sound of warning; When on the ground red apples llo In piles like Jewels shining, And redder still on old stone walls Are leaves of woodbine twining; When ull the lovely wayside things Their white-winged seeds are sowing. And In the Held:), still green and fair, ..ate aftermaths are growing: When springs run low, and on the brooks, In Idle, golden Treigniing, Blight leaves sift noiseless in the hush (ir woods, for whiter waiting. When comrades seek sweet country haunts. By twos and twos together. And count like misers, hour by hour, October's bright blue weather.

One of the grandest schemes ever pro posed to boom cycling is the cycling path from Boston to Chicago. It is perfectly feasible and may be an actual fact within a few years. Le Veloce says that the prizes at the races at Sevres (Alpes-Maritimes) con sisted of: Princlpul race, first prize, the finest hen In the country; second prize, six new-laid eggs. Owing to the carelessness of cyclists, Mayor Sehleren, of Urooklyn, has re vdked the permit ullowing them to use the footpaths In Prospect park between 7 and 9 o'clock. lllcycllng hns brousrht lots of business to men in various lines of trade. The liv ery stable men, however, have suffered heavily by the popularity of the wheel, and their tale of woe Is long and loud. Joey Schotlelil ami Tnmmv Reloh. both of whom have mailo records in linlshing "second to the bunch" in the country, ure reported to have ridden a dying start mile on u tundem hi 1.41 l-u and on the roud. too, In England. Tliuy used a 7i-luch gear. Pittsburg's clubs are arranging for a mass meeting of wheelmen to luke action regarding proposed ordinances restrict ing the use of the blcvele. and to protest uguinst any legislation which muy be considered prejudicial to their Interests. A new cause of comolalnt airnlnst the much-abused cyclist has been discovered by one Daniel Mutton, an Knglish cycler, who is under the Impression that thirty men on bicycles pursue him through the night. He therefore goes armed with a revolver und a. short Iron nokor. and has uppealed to the Southampton 'poMte' force for protection. It Is strange, says' aii Knglish cycling paper, that the royal blood of England should almost entirely tuboo the cycle when nearly every other European line enraptured with it. The king of the Belgians Is a well-known rider and then we have the little Uueen Wllhelmlna. the czarewltz, Princess Waldemur and Curl of Denmark, the Princes Georee and Nich olas of Ureece. Even the khedivo of Egypt has his silver-plated bicycle. It Is un open Question whether cycling will maintain its hold upon the affections of the llckle French public, but now, at all events, the Interest in It is all ab sorbing. In Paris it supports two daily morning papers, Le Velo, with u circula tion of iO.WW copies guaranteed, and Paris Velo, which also hus u very large num ber of readers, to Bay nothing of Innum erable weekly organs. Every Paris daily paper (and there ure over seventy de votes some space to cydisnie, the cafe claimants all provide topical songs deal ing with the prevailing cruze. 'OTES OF THE TURF.
