All such requirements the State courts would cheerfully and scrupulously obey. But they should never be asked to submit to the supervision of a mere Federal officeholder. So. as they have full power and control over their owu records. uo valid reason can be assigned why the application for the revocation of a certilicate of naturalization on the ground of its improper procurement should not be directed to be made to the court from which it emanated. The bills referred to. as a whole. appear not to have for their inanediato object the correction of abuses in the provailfng system of naturaliation. but seein to be part of a deeply laid sehain to effect a coicontration of power for political purposes. But enough for tody on the subject of naturalization. I m not without hope that the committee having in charge these bills will oi it to report favorably upon them. and we shall then be saved from the humiliating spectacle of beicig oliliged to defend American labor from the asaults of an American Congress. Within our day.
