The "Dealy Parallel."

Tho hypocrisy of tho Star is ; plainly manifested by a reference ! . to tho followiug forms of oath j ■ required of voters. the first in , 1887, nnder the wicked raonar- ; 1 | chy; the latter in 1891, under i the immaculato P. G. The plain , ettbrt of the Stur,in publishingthe lettor of the Assistant Secretary | I of State, Porter to Consul General Putnam, stating that American i ... . i; .■ _ pre- i scribod in 1887 do not therebv j loso their oitizenship, is to convey the impressson that the oath now required will have a dirterent etiect from that of 1887, the voter cxpr(sdy re.*enrd his former, wilhoui creating a nev:, aIlojiance. In 1S9he creates a nen\ vithout reserving his former aUegiance. Tho eflect of the Star to mislead its foreign readers is dishonest and contemptible, but eminently j characteristic.
