Ench caudidate is pusling Lis canvass with great vigor, and it is not improbable that there will be n change from the present relative positions by the time the legislature convencs. The sup- port of Senator Miller comes chicfly from the machine politicians, and 15 not based upon any very strong claims in bebalf of the senator as n successful legislator. His public career has certainly not been brilliant, and except as an uncomprom- ising supporter of the tariff ho has no dis- tinctive clum to consideration, He is one of the weakest and narrowest men in the senate, and the Empire State ought to b represented in that body by an abler and broader man. Morton has some abil- ity, but only a limited exporience in pub- lic life. He made « f: record abroad, but his claim to political preterment rests most largely upon the fact that he has been n very liberal contributor to campaign funds. e s understood to be the choice of the friends of Mr. Blaine, and the charge that the influence of*Mr. Blaine is being exerted in the contest is being used by the friends of Miller to his advantago. A great many republicans, so 1t is said, are displeased with this outside interfe ence, which they regard as having rela- tion primarily to the political interests of Mr. Blaine, and are determined to repu- diate it. Their state pride 1s offended, and they assert that they are quite capa- ble of taking care of their own cunvass without aid from other quarters. Tho friends of Miller especially point to the result n Vermont as an stance of re- buke administered to outside interfer: cnce, and insist that the republicans of New York must inself-respect pursue o similar course. The argument has some force. Hiscock is one of the lead- ers of the republican side in the house of representatives and i 1 of consider- able ability and toree. Ie has moreoyer the additionul merit of being a progres- sive man, shown in his recent deelara- tion in favor of a revision of the tariff, ‘The financial strength of Miller and Mor- ton will doubliess play no inconsiderable part in determining the result, even with republicans who will concede that in every other respeet iiscock would be preferable to either. Protecting Citizenship, The bill introduced in the United States senate b iator Saulsbury, for the modilicstion of the naturalization la is ameasure of very considerable importance.

What a spectacle for future ages to contemplate, if such an awful crime agamst humanity shall be com- mitted, what a mockery to our modern ilization!

The people had such a stretch of unused land —pluin and prairie, mountain side and valley—that there was carclessness as to the way it was gotten rid of. The wakening on the part of the pcople to th tthat these lands were becoming smaller and smaller in extent, just asa patch of snow lessens in size under the sunbeams, has had a wholesome eftect on congress, ertheless, there are no mensures. of lund legislation, however vigorous, that can wholly redcem the the follies of the past. It may be readily admitted that the country owes much of extraordinary development to the spirit of enterprise which was stimulated by the grants of lands and subsidies in monc 10 lroad corpora- tions, Enterprise capital, which were banisherd foreign com- merce by i and navigation Inws, ly sought opportumitics for vast opurations, especially when tempted by government subsidy. But when the bulance of account shall have been struck it will be found that this de velopment of the eountry - sources has been attuned heavy cost to the people.
