will confirm the sale, hut until the decree is
made thoro ate those who will continue to
look for some postponement or interruption
of the proceedings.
As was expected there was only one bidder
before the auctioneer, tho representatives of
the Morgan inteiests in Xew York. Tho
future of tho road is now in tho hands of tho

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
Judge Saxidgc, of .Northumberland county,
litfc the cornet idea as to tho necessary
qualifications of American citizenship. In
an opinion hearing on this subject, he says:
"No person will lie mitumlii'd who has
not a general familiarity with tho I'edeml
Constitution and with our mtthods of gov
ernment, state and national. The Act uf
Congress requires each applicant to take an
oatli that ho is attached to tho principles of
the Constitution. No applicant will ho
permitted to swear unless ho knows what
thoso principles are. Each applicant must bo
able to. at least, write his iiaino and read
.mllicicnt Kuglisli to Intelligently make up
is own ballot. Thero is already htillicient
gnoranco aniHcnallty at the mercy of tho
unscrupulous petty politician.
"Each applicant shall shown gcner.il knowl
edge of the government, customs, history
aud geography of the nation to which he is
now a subject, and of the customs, hi-tury
and geography of the L'nited States. Other
wise he Is not titled to make choice betwiou
the two -ovorolgnties. No person who can
not make intelligent choice is fitted to cast
oil' one allegiance and take on another.
"In short, no one will ho naturalised who
does not have the general intolliCiice of the
average boy who has paired through our
public Hiiools. One of the purposes of our
common school system, with which wo havo
taken so much pains, and upon which we
espchd vitst sums of money, is to lit out
oitiig men for intelligent rittecnsWp. Why
fcUuld this Ki'od work lie neutralized and set
at he unlit by uu indiscriminate naturaliza
tion.' The fact that ue have gieat nuuibeis
of ignorant, corrupt and criminal American
born citizens, is no answer. Their influcino
lor evil and not for good. Wo aie not
piMiid of them. The situation will not be
Improved by adding to their numbur.
"No law imposes upon stale courts thoduty
of passing upon applications for natumllz
utiou. This belongs legitimately to tho
l'ederal courts. Ittfconly where tho hitter
me inconvenient that the SUto oouiU act,
aud then only as an accommodation. This
court will gladly continue to uccommodato all
pi isona qualified for citizenship. 1 bclievo
all moral and intelligent foreigners ought at
all time hu admitted to citizenship. Numbers
of thein aro among tho bust. Thoso are
equally interested with tho American born
n. moderately high standard of iiitolli-
01110 and morality should ho required.
"Obviously thore otigut to uo required oi
each applicant an Intelligent compicheiislon
of his duties as a citizen. Satisfactory proof
of moral character, sobriety, and general
oood behavior will bo required.
"It Is u deplorable fact that lunch of OAT
Immigration coming to this country,
peclaPy to the Aitthraclto coal region
) uusvlvan a. of recent years, is of
worst type. It does not begin to favorably
compare with whit we used to havo. The
idea of a gieat ma of those who have re
cently come, feems to ho that liberty in
America moans free license fur drunken de
bauchery and riotous conduct, to light, shoot,
stab, and commit lawless brutality with
impunity. Sulllclcnt proofs of this will ho
found in the leeordsof our criminal courts,
"I'ndcr present conditions it will not do to
Issuo certificates, by tho wholesale, for tho
mere asking. Citizenship is becoming too
cheap. Thoughtful citizens of all nationali
ties realize that it is time to call a halt.
"Out of a total of more than sixty applica
tions offered within three months past, eight
only have been granted certificates. None of
tho others presented sullicient ovldenco of
fitness to warrant tho court in naturalizing
them. It is to hu honed that in due time a
majority of those not now acceptable may
qualify themselves.
if it could ho hoped that, in tho mean
time, Congress would evince sullicient courago
and wisdom to restrict immigration, so that
nouo hat thoso morally and intellectually
iiualilied for citizenship, at the tlmo, would
ho admitted wo might look forward to
betteied condition of a Hairs.
"For tho welfare, not only of tho American
born, but of nil people, of ovcry nationality
now here, this ought to ho done. I am of
opinion that nowhere would buch action ho
more heartily welcomed than among tho well
meaning and right thinking people of foroign
birth. They havo a lively appreciation of
tho condition of tho masses in Kuropo. They
are quick to realize what must bo apparent to
everybody (except perhaps Congress) that,
unless there Is restriction of immigration, tlio
labor of America and tho labor of Kuropo is
bound to come to tlio mine common level.
They know that every new influx of im
migrants takes Mimcthing from their chances
of profitable employment. It seems a pity
our legislators will not givo tho foicign vote
cicdit with sullicient intelligence, to know
what Is best for it ill so plain a manner."
