Secor, of Racine, Wis., was so agitated upon reading that Gov- ernor Altgeld had pardoned the Chicago anarchists that he wired the appended dispatch to Illinois' chief executive: To the Governor of Illinois, Spring- 4 field, 111.,: With regret I say to you. you are a disgrace to our American Republic, ^ ij" to the State of Illinois, to the Democratic " party, and to the nationality you belong - to. Resign your office and join the f " 'brothers you have pardoned. Birds of , the same leather flock together. M. M. SECOB. l^°A point in the Russian treaty, which has now. taken effect and has been : criticised, is that it makes an attempt ; on the life of the czar an extraditable of­ fense. The opponents claim that this is making a political crime extraditable, which is against the policy of this nation. We do not see, however, why taking the life of the czar wc»|Uld not be a murder, as much as taking the life of any other per­ son, and he is certainly entitled to as much protection as a laborer. We have no use for foreign assassins in this coun­ try, and certainly should be very glad to return them. We have good reason to : like the Russian czar for his many mani testations of friendship for us, and es­ pecially that his father sympathized with the nation so strongly and help­ fully when the nation most needed it. An Arr&Urnxne&t. In his speech accepting the Republican re-nomination for governor of Ohio, Gov. McKinloy spoMl of national affairs. He said: " It may be jBaid that the new adminis­ tration is not responsible for the condi­ tion which is upon us, because the ad min­ istration had done nothing to prevent it, and cau do nothing to prevent it. But is this true? If to-day the president should officially and authoritatively announce that there would be no change in the in­ dustrial legislation of the country, and that the financial situation would be met anil solved upon that standard of finan­ cial honor national good faith which has always guided the republican party since it-iinstallation to power in lSGl^confi- dence would at once come back. Would it not? Does anybody doubt it? " What will the Democrats do with the tariff:' We can only wait .and see; but the waiting and anxiety and the uncer­ tainty is paralyzation. "The Democratic party present an anomalous situation to-day. Divided on spoils and torn up over the distribution of office, disturbed with the tariff, with a gold president and,a silver congress, what can be done? The president can be assured that in every patriotic undertak­ ing to sustain theAmerican honor abroad, peace and good order at home, he will have the hearty co-operation of the Re­ publicans of Ohio and the country. It cannot, however, pass unobserved that, however sound Mr. Cleveland's financial views may be, the party to which he would naturally turn for support, his own political associates for the most part, are financially unsound, and are bent upon a still further derangement of the currency; aud to have any relief from the present unfortunate situation he must look to the Republican party. That party has never failed in any emergency, and it will be ready to co-operate in every good work for the restoration of confidence and the return of good times." Gov. McKinley states the truth fairly and relentlessly. It is the dodging, un­ certain attitude of the Democrats in power that makes the present stringency. Nobody knows what to count on or what to expect. The president's views on the money question are one way, and are the views also held by the Republican party. But nothing can be done without the action of congress, and nobody knows what that action will be, controlled as that body is by the Democrats of the south and west. The Democracy of the south and west meant just what the plat­ form they made said, tariff for revenue only, free silver and state banks. Will they overcome the eastern Demo­ crats with the Republicans to help them ? No one knows, and that is the trouble. There was but one issue before the people in the last campaign. It was em­ bodied in the question, "Is a change desirable?" Shall we run the risk of changing an administration which has brought unprecedented prosperity, for an uncertainty ? The people decided in favor of a change. They have it, and as far as they have got they don't seem to like it. But whose fault is it? People who vote for a change muBfc be prepared to take whatever comes of the change. When they vote for a change they must expect to endure any hardships that arise from it as well as share in any benefits that may come. Those who wanted a change should not grumble. In a govern­ ment of the people the people get just what the y vote for. IS ALTGELD A His Seriously CtaestUnu caiUdiA He wMs Born in Prussia aud was Never Naturalized--Was His Father Natural­ ized While be was a Minor?--Are His Acts ,"j.s .Governor Legal? .... CHJCAOO, 111., J Que 29.--In tie# of the un-American and lawless act of John P. Altgeld in sitting free the anarchists, his citizenship has been called in question. The matter is exciting great interest and causing general comment in legal circles to day. Many persons are of the opinion,1 that the famous Governor Boyd case of Nebraska is to be re-enacted in Illinois* with John P. Altgeld as the principal] actor. f Governor Altgeld bases his claim to citizenship on the simple statement that his father was naturalized while the sonl was a minor child. Now the question arises, was his father naturalized, and,, when and where? John P. Altgeld was; born in Prussia in 1848 and came to this! oountry with -his parents when a boy, his father settling on a farm near Mans-; field, Ohio. INTOW the question arises^ W hen did the Goyernor's father take outr his naturalization papers? Was it be­ fore or after the son attained his major-, ity? These are vital questions for the people of Illinois, as upon the answers to depends the legality of every act of John P. Altgeld as governor of the state. Under the law if the father of John P. Altgeld was made a citizen while the lat­ ter was under 21 years of age, always providing that the father was legally naturalized, then there can be no ques­ tion as to the Governor's title of citizen­ ship ; but if Mr. Altgeld, senior, waited until his son was over 21 before taking out his papers, then, most assuredly, the title of the Governor to citizenship is badly clouded. The registration book of the First Pre­ cinct, Twenty-fifth Ward, has the follow­ ing record opposite the name of John P Altgeld, in accordance with the latest registration law of Illinois: "Residence^ 1832 Frederick street, place of nativity, Germany; term of resi­ dence in the precinct, 12 years; in county, 17 years; in state, 17 years; naturalized yes; by act of congress, yes; qualified voter, yes; date of registration; October 25,1892; removed to Springfield." There is nothing in that record to show when and where the father of Governor Altgeld was naturalized or by what act of Congress the Governor was made a citizen. A section of the naturalization laws provides that any alien who has served in the armies of-the Ux^ted States may become a citizen upon petitioning it. Governor Altgeld served for a few months during the war in Company C, One Hun* dred and Sixty-fourth Infantry, but it is not shown that he ever petitioned to be­ come a citizen, or that he was made a citizen under that' section.

QOIiOBS AND BLACK* TIME TO SECURE Democratic Condemnation The Danville (Ky.) Advocate, one of the oldest Democratic papers in Ken­ tucky, has this comment on the pardon of the anarchists: Governor Altgeld's action in pardon ing the convicted anarchists, Fielden, Neebe and Schwab, meets with general condemnation outsid the sphere in which these criminals move. These men were convicted after a fair trial, every exped- ient known was resorted to to secure their release and every court from the court ot their conviction to thfe highest court in the land--the supreme court of the united States passed upon their case tuid the evidence of their guilt was de­ clared conclusive and the judgment affirmed. Governor Altgeld assumes to be better informed than the judiciary, and reverses the decree of the rcourt by setting free the blood-thirstv trio, if * any devilment arises from this unwar­ ranted interference it is to be hoped that he will be the greatest sufferer. IT • f f - I^Who would have,thought in the midst of the nation's grief and indigna­ tion in 1865 that a eulogist of the assas­ sin of Abraham Lincoln would one day be chosen a representative of the Ameri­ can people to a foreign court. Yet such is the case. Judge A. W. Terrill, of Texas, appointed by President Cleveland minister to Turkey, wrote a poem in glorification of the act of John Wilkes Booth, which is now reproduced in the columns of the Houston, Tex., Herald. 0&e verse is: •f 5? .Yho dared break the rod n> blackamoor's god, Z noste of tbe <tQ8pot dcfyingi \ ; £?ul(1 not reet fneuth tho eo4 1Uftt h,e mimonB had trod* : iv-* was ashamed by his glory in dying, The south as well as the north was •hocked at the cowardly assassination <jf the • great-hearted Lincoln, but this man was vindictive above all others. No wonder there is a general demand that President Cleveland shall recall the afV pointment. It is not a representative . JMt is a disgraceful one.

A. Thrall, General Passenger Agent I^Like the pick-pocket who joins with the crowd and shouts "stop thief louder than anybody else, the Demo­ cratic leaders are diverting attention from the financial troubles which their success has brought upon the country by noisely ascribing those troubles to the Bilver law passed by the Republican Congress. That the real cause of the present troubles are more largely due to the adoption of Democratic principles than to the silver law must be apparent to everybody conversant with the situa­ tion. There can be no doubt that it is apparent to the Democratic leaders them­ selves, and that their persistent efforts to charge the Sherman silver law with the troubles of to-day are for the pur­ pose of detracting attentibn from the real facts. Such a large proportion of the capital of the country is invested in manufacturing interests or industries dependent upon those interests for sup­ port that the prospective policy which proposes to attack those industries must effect every important business transac­ tion. The men who have money invested in manufactories are unwilling to engage in new enterprises or enlarge their busi­ ness because they do not know how seri­ ously their business will be crippled by the removal of the protection which they have had through the tariff law. in the past. The men who have money to in­ vest in business enterprises are unwilling to invest it in any manufacturing or in­ dustrial line because they do not know what the relations of the tariff and taxa­ tion will be towards manufacturing and industries of that character. The men who have money to loan are unwilling to loan it for the same reason. Nobody knows whether manufactories which are reasonably prosperous to-day will be able to make any money a year from now. Take almost any line of manufac­ turing in the United States to-day and remove the tariff on the line of goods produced by it and such quantities of those goods will pour in from Europe at low prices as to render the manufacture of them in this country unprofitable. When this happens, the millions who are dependent upon those manufactories will be thrown out of employment and be unable to buy goods, travel upon rail roads, or otherwise contribute to the success of the various business enterprises of the country. This is largely the cause of the " want of confidence " about which the Democratic leaders are talking so so much. There is a want of confidence and that want is due to the uncertainty which prevails in the mind of every busi­ ness man as to what is going to happen, about the ability of the manufacturing interests of the country to continue their successful operations, and by doing so to contribute to the prosperity of other lines of business.
