THE HVDBPB.VnRJVr JUIHCIAI , TIOKKT.
Tlio Indopondcnt judicial convontlon ,
made up of such perspiring patriots ns
I'aul VandorvoorC the ronogndo rapub-
llcan , V. O. Strlcklor , the ox-prohlbl-
tionist , mfd no roprosontatlon whatever
fioin Uurt county , has placed in nomi
nation Lee Estollo , II. J. Dnvlu , T. B.
Mlnnlmn , L. W. Osborno antl Ooorgo A.
Mnpnoy , ropublicnttH , nnd A. N. Fer
guson nnd Frank Irvlno , democrats. It
has rejected three of the ablest jurists
on the dlstricUbotich , II Wnkoloy , the
Nester of the Nebraska bar ; George W.
Donno , ono of the most ustuto
nnd careful lawyers in the dis
trict , nnd M. 15 Hopowell , a
man whose public nnd privnto lifo
lins biion nbovo reproach during moro
thnn twenty years of iiotlvo btiHlnoss and
political llfo In Nebraska. Judges Doano
and Wakeloy are dbmoorats and Judge
Hopowoll is a republican.
Judge Wnkoloy has boon on the dis
trict bench for ton years , Judge IIopo-
well for live years and Judge Doano four
years. Neither of the three attorneys
named In their stead has ever achieved
prominence at the district bar. Knoh ot
thorn is better known as a politician
than lawyer , and nt least ono of them
has been n chronic ollieo seeker ever
since ho became a resident of the stale.
The ticket is overloaded with weak re
publicans and is unworthy of support as
it now stnnds.
L. W. Osborno bus never been in
touch with the people of the district.
Ills po'iticnl ' cnroor has boon helped on
to such success as he has attained by the
crowd of convention parasites who have
always been willing to do the service of
corporation masters. His nomination
in plnco of the upright Judge Hopowell
of Burt county is an insult to the intelli
gence of the voters of the district antl a
contemptible , shameful disregard of the
wishes of the people of Burt county.
The substitution of George A. Mng-
noy , a comparatively unknown lawyer
from Snrpy county , for the venerable ,
erudite and experienced Judge Eleanor
Wakoley Is a travesty upon common
eonso , an indignity cast upon the integ
rity of the district bench nnd an ab-
surdltv which wouljl bo simply
laughable if It were not perpetrated -
trated in dead earnest. George
Maguey , although an unright young
gontlemnn , as a lawyer standing along
side of Judge Wnkoloy , is dwarfed Into
utter insignificance. Ilo sustains about
the same relation to tno respected
senior judge of this district in point of
dignity and ability as Jo Edgorton sus
tains to the Into Chief Justice Waito.
T. B. Manabnn is a partner
of the democratic county attor
ney , u fairly intelligent young
man , wno has boon in active
practice but ten years. He is a glib-
tongued politician but must personally
feel his Inferiority to Judge George W.
Doano , ono of the oldest attorneys in the
city , a man who has not only won his
spurs and his fortune in the practice ,
but has preserved the purity of the
judicial ermine during four years upon
the bench and demonstrated his judicial
ability.
The independents of this district will
bo ashamed of the work of their judicial
convention and they will repudiate it.
The three judges who nro not good
enough for the late judicial convention ,
were elected by overwhelming major
ities four years ago. They luivo boon
faithful servants of the people. They
will bo ronominatecl by both the old
parties and they will bo ro-olectcd if
they are desirous of continuing on the
bench , by majorities which will suffic
iently rebuke the poor little follows
who have boon proposed as their suc
cessors.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Closely connected with the subject of
Immigration is that of naturalisation.
Among the questions submitted for pub-
Ilo discussion by Senator Chandler re
garding Immigration , to which reference
was recently made , were these : Shall
aliens give public notice of their inten
tion to apply for IImil papers three
months before they arc Issued ? Shall
they aver and provo that they did not
como In contrary to law ? Shall
they bo required to speak ,
read ana write the English
language , or to road and write any lan
guage ? Shall naturalization bo con
fined to the United. States courts nnd
taken from the state courts ?
It has boon frequently I'omarkoa that
the great defect of our naturalization
laws is their lack of uniformity in oper
ation. The first congress under the
constitution passed an act , in 1790 , re
quiring a resilience of two years before
a foreigner could become n citizen. In
170.1) the time was extended to five years ,
and In 1708 , when parties were excited
ever preferences for Franco or England ,
the period of residence required of nn
alien before ho could be'como a eltl/.on
was Increased to fourteen years. The
present limit of llvo years was adopted
in 180U , miring the administration and
upon the rocommondutKm of President
JolTet'.ton. The law then adopted ro-
quiied at least three years' residence
before a declaration or oath of purpose
to become a clti/.on of the United States
nnd torenounce allegiance to
any foreign prince or state could bo filed ,
and this provision remained until 1821 ,
when it was changed to two years.
Various amendments to the nnturnli/.u-
tlon laws have since boon adopted ,
mostly oxlondlng the benefits of early
naturnlly.ation to certain classes of pur-
sons. While congress has established a
uniform rule of natural Uation , it
has bcon found by investigation
that It Is not generally observed ,
and It Is unquestionable that glaring
frauds have boon porpotratod. There
are tgn * of thousands of men who have
boon admitted to citizenship without
having complied with the requirements
of the law , and the point is certainly
worthy of consideration that so long as
the magistrate who administers the law
may or may not bo a federal olllclal ,
there is going to bo uncertainty in the
administration.
The questions submitted by Senator
Chandler are nil pertinent nnd deserv
ing of careful consideration. There Is a
very widespread sonthnon * in the coun
try that our naturalization laws , as now
administered , make it far too easy for
an alien to secure the exceedingly valu
able boon of American citizenship.
There uro a great many who think thnt
the tendency of existing conditions has
boon to chetipon this citizenship , while
the aim should bo to create in the mlmta
of these Booking It the highest possible
estimate of its character and worth ,
There can bo no doubt that this fooling
U growing , nnd that it Is largely enter-
tnlnod ntnong naturalized as well as
native born citizens. This subject will
undoubtedly bo prominent In the atten
tion of congress nt the next session , nnd
it Is highly probable there will bo legis
lation at least providing for a moro riirld
administration of the law than has boon
the prnotico for many years.
TUK KVnSTITUfK FRAUD.
The crusade that has bcon Inaugur
ated by the press of the country ngainst
the evil of substituting Inferior nnd es
sentially frnudulont articles for these of
well attested merit , nnu the reprehens
ible practice of ninny dealers of urging
these substitutes upon buyers , has un
doubtedly already nccompllshod some
good. It has enlightened a great many
people as to the imposition to
which they nro constantly llablo
to bo subjected , nnd it is not to
bo doubled that thus warned thousands
in all parts of the country will refuse to
bo imposed upon. It has also served
notice unon the druggists and other
dealers who are so dishonest as to palm
olT the imitation articles that persistence
In the practice will subject thorn to
popular snsplclon ot unscrupulous busi
ness principles that must inevitably result -
sult in loss of trade. These are valuable
results , to bo" certainly followed , in
duo time by the comnloto exclu
sion of nil substitute articles from the
shelves of dealers who desire to do a
square and honest business and a great
decline in the sale of such articles because -
cause well-informed pcoplo will refuse
to take thorn , at however much less
price they are offered than that of the
genuine article.
There can bo no question tnnt the
substitute evil is ono that should bo removed -
moved , if it bo practicable or possible to
do so , and this must bo determined
largely by the public. Buyers
have the remedy in their own
hands by refusing to take Im
itation or substitute articles which are
urged upon thorn ns being just as good
as the articles of established merit they
call for. Of course there will always
bo people who can bo thus imposed on.
by reason of either ignorance of the
fraud or a too roitdy disposition to con-
lido in the .representations of the
dealer , but if it shall become common
with people who call for standard
articles to refuse to take tiny other ,
few dealers will take the risk
of having their business meth
ods nnd their integrity called in
question by keeping the substitutes.
The crusade is on , and its author , Mr.
A , Prank Richardson , has the support
of some of the strongest and most influ-
ontlal papers In the country. The ob
ject sought Is the protection of the pub
lic and honest manufactures , und it is a
cause which ought to enlist the sympa >
thy of everybody who favors fair deal
ing und honest business methods.
FUIKNUS of Mrs. Mnybrick , the Amer

bo reopened nnd the woman acquitted.
Her Engli&h frior.ds want Secretary
Blaine to Interfere someway in her be

manifest because ho has not already

not clear that Mr. Blaine can properly
consider her case howovor. She was
tried for nn offense committed in Great
Britain. She had a fair trial and was
convlctod by a jury in tho. regular and
duo observance of all her rights under
the English law. Prom Blaino's stand
point , therefore , there is no sort of
reason lor any sort of official sugges
tion regarding the condemned woman.

have boon n republican in politics , but
not a hide-bound partisan. At the same tlmo
I hnvo noticed that In the strongly demo
cratic states it is the republicans who advise
non-partisan action In such nominations , nnd
that In republican stntos the democrats nro
equally solicitous to divorce the Judiciary
from the "stench of politics. " The full ot-
fenslvcnoss of the word "partisan" is per-
coptilrio to the man who belongs to the
minority party only. So 1 conclude It is n
natural desire ot men to "purify politics"
when they cannot elect men of their own
political fnlth.
I am n republican , as I said , and I do not
think it wise , oven in the face
of almost certain defeat , to abandon
the party organization tnls year , nnd I
should oppose the nomination of n democrat
because I Deliovo the republican pnrtv has In
its ranks lawyers who are the peers In learn
ing , integrity and ability of any democrat ,
nnd I am therefore in favor of nominating
and dlcutlng a republican. If I wuro a demo
crat , nnd thought my party had a lighting
chance for success , 1 would insist on my
right to vote for a democrat. But unless a
democrat is nominated the supreme bench
will bo as "partisan" ns it now is.
The names of these signing the loiter nro
of personal friends of mine , among whom I
count yourself nud Mr. Ames ns the closest
In sympathy , tho' jou have both , In my
opinion , gene off after false gods in the past
few years. Is tins not n scheme to nominate
and elect n democrat 'a the supreme bench-
say Hon. E. Wukolcy , for Inslnucol Ho is nn
nblo man. but a few years ago did vou not
think the republican party contained as able
jurists ! Give mo a little moro information ,
I am not now willing to allow the use of my
name to any call. I may change my mind on
reflection , but this is my present opinion.
Yours sincerely , E. F. WAIIKI : .
Hon. John C. Watson when asked about
the subject wns non-committal , but didn't
bellevo in the republican party playing
clown for a democratic circus.

lion , ho opened the drawer of his
desk , took out his revolver and
shot one of the fellows dead. Henry sur
rendered himself to the police nnd n few
months later was tried and found guilty of
murdor. In fact , ho did not deny the charge ,
but offered the dofcnso of justlilablo hoinl-
cldo. The prosecution , however , was very
vigorous and the Jury brought In a verdict of
guilty. Owing to the extenuating circum
stances ho wius not sentenced to be hunu or
given a lifo sentence , but was instead given
ten yonri In the ponUentiary. His frlcndi
tnought the sentence too severe und con
tended that under iho circumstances ho
should have been acquitted. The supreme
court did not rovor.so the decision of the
lower court and Henry was forced to pass
through the dread doors of the puuflen-
tinry.
His knowledge of the culinary art
made htm a valuublo man to the
warden nnd superintendent and ho was
placed in charge of the Immense kitubuns of
the ostnbllshniuntnnd his ability to cook food
to plcaso the palate has won for him the ad
miration of both olllciuls and convicts. It Is

with him , as his assistants in the kitchen
have not over been nblo to thoroughly master
all the intricate knowledge or cooking pos
sessed Dy their chlof.
Henry has been faithful In his duties and
won the usual good tlmo granted
convicts for proper behavior. This saved
htm from two years and cloven months of
further service nnd out his term of Imprison
ment down to seven years nnd onn month.
He has been allowed during the past three
years the unusual privilOKO of wearing a full

affections of Bosstattor's wife , ana threat

alight , however , nnd give Bosstatter n chance
to wreak his threatened vengeance. Instead

IOWA POLITICS.
The political campaign in lown Is develop
ing > omo peculiar phases , ospocinjly-on the
democratic side. An effort is being made by
the democratic bosses tocurbUovernor Boles
in some of bis radical assertions , but the old
man is head strong and will not Decontrolled.
His Cherokee speech was a curious one , In
view of his Now York nnd Council Bluffs
utterances. In the now famous Now York
address , as every body'knows , the governor
sought to Impress upon the effete east that
agriculture In Iowa was a monstrously losing
business and had bcon for years. In his
Council Bluffs speech ho praised the stnto in
the most laudatory tornis and made a direct
apology for his Now York utterances , on the
ground that the llguros wore not his own.
Now In his campaign oration ho brings forth
some now llcures and trios to prove that his
New York statements were correct. lu his
last speech also ho makes excuses for hl
pardon record In saloon cases on the ground
that selling liquor is not n crime , although
the law says it U. Some of his remarks are
too radical for the democratic bosses , and
certain clauses nro being suppressed In the
nubllcatlon of his speech in supplement form.

crowded nn experience equal to any and
moro thnn valuable as material In his work.
At the ago of 11 ho wns a page in the United

For ulno years after that tlmo Thomas

led him into the Knights of Labor , ana nt
the ago o { 1 ! ) ho was master workman of tha
Missouri assembly No. U , being the youngest
master workman In the United Stntos.
After railroading , young Thomas spent
two years in the studv of law. Ho was never

man in Dlckson's "Sketch Club , " a talented
little organl/ntlon that made an enviable
reputation In western and southern cities.
After leaving thu stage Thomas be
came a newspaper reporter and worked
on the St. Louis , ICunsas Citv nnd
Chicago papers. Ho was nt ono time llio
traveling correspondent of the Now York
World. Ho was also nt different tlmos the
special artist of thu St. Louis Republican nnd

through two campaigns us apolitical speaker ,
was unanimously nominated for the legisla
ture by his party In the Third district of
Missouri und though defeated , ran two hun
dred votes ahead of his ticket. After nows-
paror work Thomas tried 1.1s fortune as a
theatrical business manager.
