Still fiuher ( , it has been established by the case of Hoyd against Thayer that the admission of a .state into the union makes citbens ot the United States out of all lesldent.s of the teiiitoiv who had been participating In the teiiitoiial goveinment.

Tlie whole tlieoiy of nntmali/atlon resth upon the idea that : i man can iemo\o fiom one coun try to another and renounce allegiance to one go\eminent lor allegiance to an other.

In Kansas the pilnclpal Indiistiy was dlscoiitlniu'd because of depression in business.

He has alwajs been a wann tileud ot ( lie United States and it is pioper that lie I > o shown Midi attention and con-id- eiatlon as our goveinnient anil people can apptoptiately offer. We cannot ex pect and need not attempt to nval the entei talnmont extended to him In Uu- lope , lint tlieie can be no doubt that li.e will ajipieilato what we do as coidlally is ho has the attention acioidud him In Km ope , bi cause he will nndei stand that wo aie entltely uiiHolllsh in tlie mattir , while Umopean govumments are ica- sonably suspected of a seltl-h niothe at tlie bottom of tlieir demonstiations. IA Hung Chang will lecognl/.o in 0111 at tentions to him genuine touitosy , 1111- mixed with any political or conimeiclal piojucts , such as Russia , Cierinanj and England may have. Ho will Know that such consldoiatlon as we sliow attests our mspi'i't for him as one of tlie w 01 Id's gieat statesmen and has no ulteiior pmpose. Li Hung Chang has boon called the "Hisniaick of China , " and the designa tion Is not moie complimentary to him than to the eminent Cornum statesman. As a matter ot tact tlieie Is veiy little slmlhuity but ween the two men , so far as poisonal characteristics aie iim- ceined , but as to ( he qualities of states manship they may piopeily bu asso ciated. Both have had Illustrious ca- leeis and when all the clicuiiHtances aie I'onsideted the Chinese statesman will be found to bu at least the poor ot the gie.it ( id man , or of that other eminent Umopcan statesman , Olad- stono. General Oiant had an exalted opinion of Li Hung Chang and theio was a M'ly coidlal fiiendsliip between them. It Is to be regiotted that the * > ojmun of the Chinese statesman In the United States Is to bo so bilof and that he will see so little of the country , It being nil- deistood that he will go to the 1'nulflu coast through Canada. A Now Voile paper has It that Ptcsident Clovelaiul may ondeinor to induce him to tiavel lo tlio coast on one of the Ameiican tianscontlnental rallioads anil visit Chicago , Omaha and other cities , but It not likely that any change of plan will bo made. Consequently LI Hung Chang will wo only n small part of the uMintiy and thai hardly the most Inter- I'stlng portion.
