UN'COIA' , Nov. 12. ( Special. ) A flno
point of law lias been raised In the case
of John Kobalttr , a joung Austro-Hun-
garlan who was arrcaled election day for
IIIeR.U Noting In tlie Second ward of this
city. In 1SSG Kobaltcr came to Uncoln with
his father. IIo was then 11 > ears of age.
Declaring Ills Intention of becoming a citi
zen of the United Platen his father took out
Ms first prpers , and died within a jear sub
sequently. The point raised te whether the
father's death , removing thu possibility of
perfection of the naturalization papers ,
take's away any of the rights conferred upon
his children by the declaration of Intention.
The question Is not fully covered by thu
Ltatutca. It Is claimed that joung Kobaltcr
could become a citizen by simply taKIng the
oath of allegiance. However , the court Is
( .ailed upon to decide whether or not HW car
ing In hi i vote was equivalent to taking
the. oath of aleglance Jrbtlcc Lceso will
pass on this case Saturday next.

"I believe tint wo should accept the

"The people Invesp'ken and have declared
for protection , and I do not think any

at the next presidential e-lccllon , to test the
sentiment of the people on the silver ques

"What form should the proposed tariff
legislation take' Largelj the protection of
thp natural products and law mateilal ot
the Bouth and west , such no wool , lumber ,
lead , borax , soda , etc. These Industries
have suffered seriously from the Wilson bill
and the tariff should not be formed so as to
confine Its benefits mainly to the eastcin
states. "
"Ho joti think tariff legislation will give
relief"
"It will give fiome relief , but not to the
extent expected Free trade- would Inflict
greater Injury upon this country than anv
other , because we have further to fall A
general reduction In wages would bring
about readjustments cf values that would
be destructive to the property owners , pro
ducers and dr-btors. We need , therefore , a
tariff wall to protect us against the pro
ducts of rhcapor labor elsewhere"

The Rnti-Fake Club.lleo.
. e o e o
The Advertising Men's Club of Omaha had another
meeting1 last week and it's members decided they were
tired of playing to empty houses and wanted a sqmrc
meal for a change. That was bufoie election. Last
evening such of them as had bet on McKinlcy got to
gether in a back room at the Millard and made speeches
and things , while those who had bet on the Boy Orator
had to be content with licking1 their chops as they read
the account of the banquet in the papers next diy.
This club was organized lor the purpose of getting it's
name in the papers once n month or so and giving it's
membjts a chance to keep in practice while waiting for
better times. When not engaged in speech-making-
binqueting each member is supposed to stand at the
city gates and keep out fakes of every description seas
as to protect the merchants and give the fakirs on the
ins de a chance to wax good and fat. We would
respectfully suggest to the Advertising Men's Club of
Omaha that each of it's members array himself in one
of our Champion Irish Fnc/.e Ulsters at $10.00 and
ascertain why other stores are advertising the self-same
garment at $14.95 , marked down from $19,98. Or.il
the constitution and by-laws will permit , \\e would like
to have the members assemble in a body and pass
judgment on the merits of the Men's Suits we are sell
ing at $10 oo , and if not equal to any advertised by the
fakirs at $16.24 , we \\iil agree to furnish a banquet at
which all of tlu members may feel free to attend.
What docs the club say ? Here's a chance to get after
some of the advertising fakes.
