ATTORNEY GKNKUAL LEESE , of Ne
braska , in his recent refusal to natu
ralize a Chinese to citizenship followed
in line with the decision of the United
States circuit court of California. Other
courts have ruled similarly. Section
2170 of the revised statutes on naturali-
Cntion npplics "to aliens being free
white persons , and to aliens of African
nativity , and to persons of African do-
I econt. " As a Chinaman is neither a wbi o
yorson , nor an African , ho is clearly out
of the pale of the statute. This was the
' / > ) sltton taken by General Harrison in
the senate. He votcu against the Chi
nese bill on the ground that the law al
ready in force prohibited the naturali
zation of Chinamen to citizenship. And
the courts have borne out Air. Harri
son's views.
EMIOUATION from Norway to the
United States has always brought a do-
slrnblo element- noted for its sobriety
and thrift. From our consul at Chriti-
liann , the report comes that the num
ber of emigrants from that country is
increasing constantly since the year
r 1BS5 , when the low water mark of 11,000
wns touched. The year 18S2 wit
nessed the largest exodus of that
people. Nearly 29,000 came to our
shores nt thnt time. In 1887 the total
number of Norwegian emigrant's ' was
20,711 , and for 1888 the figures will ap
proximate the emigration for the year
38S'l , when 22,000 found a homo in
IK. America. The peculiarity of the Nor
wegian emigration ns compared with
other European countries lies in the
fuel thnt the rural districts and not the
towns uro drained of their inhabitants.
Till- : report comes from Now Mexico
that the Hammonds , of pork-packing
fame , have Induced nn eastern syndi
cate to purchase 100,000 acres in Now
Mexico and stock the range with 230-
000 head of cattle. It is the purpose of
this syndicate to supply the oxtonnivo
dressed beef establishments of the
llntnmonds at Chicago , Omnlm , Kansas
City , and other cities directly from this
mammoth ranch. The selection of the
ranches In New Mexico , though bomc-
Avhat out of the present cattle ranges ,

A tyunpnlgn Kxpcdlcnt.
The democratic .platform omitted to
glvo any assurance that the party was
in sympathy with civil .service reform ,
or that 'the policy would receive any
support , from the party in the future.
The platform is vor.y generally believed ,
and not without prominent democratic
authority , to have had the approval of
the prrsldcnt before it was submitted to
the national convention. Even with
out the statement of Congressman Scott
that he carried the document from
Washington to St. Louis , and Hint It
was adopted without ti single alteration ,
it would bo entirely fair to presume that
Mr. Cleveland would not allow so im
portant n matter as the declaration oi
the principles and policy on which ho
was to stand to bo made without his
knowledge and approval of Ihdlr ch.ir-
actor. It was of vital importance that
the platform bo made to fit the can
didate , and no man could have been
quito so solicitous regarding this as the
president. Having absolute command
of the situation , it ia not atall question
able that ho knew every line of the
platform before It went to the commit
tee , and It would have been treason
punishable with political ostracism to
have changed a single word of it.
In view of this the consideration ac
corded civil service reform In the dem
ocratic platform was a bitter disappoint
ment to the radical reformers who had
professed a boundless faith in the
sincerity of Mr. Cleveland's re
form pretensions. They might have
hoped for very little from the democratic
convention if left to the free expres
sion of Its sentiments on this policy , but
with Mr. Cleveland as the platform
maker they expected an enunciation in
behalf of their hobby that would amply
justify the confidence they had reposed
in their ideal reformer. The failure tn
get it amazed anil discomilttcd them ,
but the newspapers representing this
element came bravely forward in merit
ed criticism of the civil service plank ,
some of them going so far as to denounce
tlio preposterous claim therein sot upas
contrary to well-attested facts.
Mr. Cleveland has evidently had hi- :
attention called to these criticisms ,
which it is not unlikely ho expected.
What ho permitted to bo siid ; in
the platform was necessary
to silcnco the democratic
clamor against civil service reform. Nc
harm could come to him from his own
party simply by claiming for tbo ad
ministration all the glory of inaugurat
ing and maintaining honest reform , so
long as the pledge for the future wont
with the claim. The assumption of su
perior merit for what had been done in
volved no danger so far as the democ
racy was concerned. The peril \\ould
be in the promioo of continuing the re
form , and this was shrewdly omitted.
But Mr. Cleveland needs the mugwump
vote. Ho cannot lose nny of it without
imperiling his chances in New York ,
and there is great danger that some oi
it will stray away from him unless he
can restore the fnih badly shaken by
the national platform. This he is en
deavoring to do by extending the clns-bi-
iication of the civil service so at
to include all the otllcers , clerks
and employes in the executive depart
ments , the pew regulation going iutc
effect at once.
Will any intelligent citizennota con-
llrincd mugwump , bo deceived by this
obvious campaign expedient of the pres
ident ? If Mr. Cleveland had been hon
estly respecting the spirit of tbo civil
bcrvico law , as the democratic platform
claims , this regulation would have been
observed from the beginning of his ad
ministration. The authority to order it
bus rested with him from the first day
ho entered the presidency , yet ho has
chosen to put oft' the exorcise ot it until
the closing-year of his administration
and until within four months of the
presidential election. Had ho observed
from the outset the principle he now
finds it expedient to announce ,
and which is clearly in
line with the spirit of the
civil service law , there would have been
some virtue in his conduct , but there is
none as it is. Having allowed the
spoils system lo freely operate for three
years and a half in the executive de
partments , until all the positions worth
having are occupied by democrats , this
model civil service reformer now ex
tends the classification so ns to embrace
these departments. It is quito prob
able there will ben chorus of mugwump
laudation of this order of Mr. Cleve
land , but the intelligence of the man
who cannot see in it the cheap elec-
Uoiicoring device of a very ordinary
politician is deplorably obtuse.
Dilatory
More than two months have passed
since the bill to open the Sioux reserva
tion became a law , and Htlll the com
mission provided for , to secure the
consent of the Indians , has not been
selected. The country is informed that
the president is giving the matter his
serious attention , but it may be at least
another month before the representa
tives of the government will bo ready
to meet with the Indians and ascertain
their hontlment regarding the law.
Thus will have been wasted throe
moiiths of the year in which the law
must receive the approval of the
Indians or become null und void.
Meantime the opponents of the act
are not idle. Tboy or their
emissaries are industriously at
work among the Indians creating hostil
ity to the law , and there is reabon to ap
prehend tliat their efforts are not wholly
without success. There is a consider
able olciiinnt among the Indians that
oppo.sod the act while it was pending ,
and who have since vigorously shown
their hostility to it , They are not
without inlluonco , and aided by the
white men who have personal interests
at stake they are enabled to make their
inlluonco felt.
The obvious duty and policy of the
government was to have pushed this
matter with all practicable vigor. The
plan should have been tostriuo whilotho
iron was hot. There are doubless move
hostile Indians to. bo won over
now than thora were two months ago ,
and the labors of the commission will
consequently bo pura.uod under grcatei
dinicultios and Iciss 6x.pcdlliouhly than
'if entered upon a. coupl < j of months
curlier , Tho.pretence that-extraordi
cnro wns necessary in selecting
the commi ision is absurd. C apa'jlc nnd
trustworthy men for tins service could
have been found in n week , without any
great expenditure of effort. A. moro
probable nnd reasonable explanation Is
that the president has been so much en
gaged with political wot-k that ho has
put aside this duty , in the performance
of which there was no assurance of any
political advantage. The allowance of
a year In which to perfect the business
provided for by tbo law docs not jus
tify the government in occupy
ing the full time. The Intention wns
to have the reservation onencd as soon
as It could practicably bo done , so that
settlers anxious to go there could do so ,
so that projected railroads through the
territory could bo commenced , and so
that this fertile region could speedily
be utilized for the general benefit. It
is a mislnko that this intention is not
being carried out , and it will bo a mis
fortune If the delay shall result In the
failure of the law.
Senator Sliorinuii.
Numerous stories have obtained cir
culation since the national republican
convention regarding Iho Impression
made upon Senator Sherman by the re
sult of the convention. Most of those
have rellectcd unfavorably upon the
Ohlosonntor. Ho has been represented ns
feeling very sore and ns privately threat
ening to do things which could hardly
fail lo bo very damaging to his party.
It has been said that bo was very much
displeased at the course of Governor
Forakcr , that ho contemplated u public
denunciation of the methods of General
Alger , and that ho would have n good
deal to say nbout others whom it is
alleged were not entirely faithful to his
cause.
It is not ut all surpris
ing that Senator Sherman
should have felt disappointment at
his third failure to secure the nomina
tion of his party , when the chances of
success seemed so largely in his
favor. It was in all probability his
final effort to attain tlio honorable am
bition of being made the candidate of
the party in whoso cause ho has de
voted the best years and the most ardu
ous labors of his life. Ho is sixty-live
years old , and his ago when' the next
national convention shall meet , if be
live until that time , will doubtless bo-
bar him from appearing in it as a presi
dential aspirant. It is easy , to under
stand , therefore , that bin present disap
pointment would bo greater than over
before. It is not improbable , also , that
ho has good reasons for feeling aggra
vated at certain parties.
But Senator Sherman has never
sulked and never failed
to put forth his best efforts for the suc
cess of his party , and ho will not now
mar his honorable record of loyalty and
fidelity to the republican cnu o. Ho is
too true a man to be for a moment seri
ously suspected of any such purpose.
Ho believes fully and heartily in the
principles of the republican party , and
those he will battle for as long as ho has
tlio power to do so. Only those who do
not know John Sherman , or who have ! i
malicious purpose in disparaging him ,
will atlompt to cast a doubt upon bis
constancy to his party in every circum
stance. The presidency would bo a
merited reward of his great services to
the country , but without It his muno
will occupy an honored place in our
history far above some who have at
tained that exalted position. Senator
Sherman can be trusted to do nothing
in derogation of his splendid record.
Ignorance of Snnltury Principle * .
1'oinilur Science Mnnlhlu.
In his census reports , Dr. Billings
states that , in the United States , 100- ,
000 deaths occur every year from strictly
preventable discuses alone. This is un
questionably a very moderate estimate ,
and , if there are reckoned nlsoUwolve
cases of serious illness for every death ,
we see what a great amount of suffering
results from ignorance of sanitary prin
ciples.
But how is this ignorance manifested ?
Are not our architects competent to
deal with the problem of household san
itation ? It will bo said , perhaps , that
it is the province of the architect to
direct tbo entire work of house-build
ing , and to arrange every detail of tlio
fittings. But it should be considered
thnt the science of sanitation is broad
and comprehensive. Years of study
and of experience in sanitary work
are necessary for a proper underslund-
ing of the subject. It is perhaps unfor
tunate that there is so llttlo in the se
vere and unpleasant detailsof this work
to commend it to those whose tastes
have led them to the study of the moro
"
attractive principles of "artistic con
struction and the science of a'sthotics.
An architect should have the soul of an
artist , but there are few men whoso na
ture is so broad as lo combine truly ar
tistic tastes with a love for the details
of difficult mechanical work , involving
the necessity for undertaking compre
hensive andscientific research. It is
tlio province of the engineer to engage
in an occupation of this kind. Ilia
natural inclinations and his rigid train
ing in sclenlilic pursuits lit him espec
ially for the direction of matters- relat
ing to drainage and sewage disposal.

The town of Hot Springs is a bright
gem upon a green ribbon of fertility ,
between rugged and frowning moun
tains. Tlio green velvet ribbon is tlio
valley of the Falling Water river , and
the Hot Spring is the jewel that lies
upon It. What a world of grandeur
and magnificence is presented b.vnaturo
to the traveler and sightseer as he lands
in this beautiful valley. Mountain
peaks , whoso pinnacles lower through
soft , silvery clouds and kiss the azure
skies , stand bold and majestically in
the distance and lend a scone of de
licious rapture to the eye , Inspiring tlio
soul with nature's grand sublimity.
Every breeze is laden with health and
vigor , and as the wavering zephyrs re
turn from off the rippling stream , made
sweet with the delicate perfume and de
licious fragrance of tlio wild llowers
that grow in profusion along its mossy
banks , one can but in ecstatic reverie
exclaim : "This is nature's gift to
medicinal science ! "
The hot springs , of which there are
many , bubble and boil out from solid
rock along the mountain side and vary
in temperature from 00 ° to15 ! ° , and
are said to contain certain medicinal
properties benclicial to many chronic
ailments , such as rheumatism , neural

The middle-aged man whose anxiety and

brought him to the very verge of death's
deep chasm , and warned him of his

along the veranda of the hotel , anxious
for another ablution. The more unfor

by accident and who has failed to re
ceive relief from scientific medical aid ,
is seeking refuge from the heat of lower
altitudes and experimenting with
the waters of Minnokahtn. Those
whose life has boon blasted through the
