( people of their political rights is a nnlional wrong The wrong , " ho remarks . , , udoos not expend itself upon these whoso votes nro suppressed Every constituency ( in the union is wronccd " But while fully appreciating the na ture and extent of the evil , nnd the urgentnccessitv there is for removing it , the president makes it obvious that ho is not at all in sympathy with the views of those extremists who demand that ] the full power of the government should ' bo exerted , oven to the oxtcnt of employing troops at tho.polls , in directing and controlling the elec- tion ; of representatives in congress Ho is evidently not disposed to aban- don all hope in the growth ot a sense of justice j and of respect Tor law among these who are responsible for the political wrongs justly complained of , nnd ho is not willing to experiment with a policy that might prove exasperating , and the enforcement of which would bo likely to sovorcly strain the peaceful condi tions which all patriotic citizous desire to sco perpetuated The conservative position of the president - idont i regarding this question , the grave importance of wliich nil must 1 recognize , is ossurnnco that no extreme - tromo t views will prevail It is to be expected that congress will conform its action to the suggestions of the presi- dent , hut should it not do so there can 1 bo 1 no doubt that ho will have the firm ncss i to prevent any legislation of so radical i a nature as to invite evils quite as serious as these it is now desired to euro < imuartATioN ltuppoars that there is to bo another attempt in congress to impose addi- tioual restrictions upon immigration . Neither the volume nor chnntctor of recent immigration offers any roiibon for additional restrictions The rjor- sistent demand for thorn comes from sourcqs wliich are . , often potent with politicians While the South Ameri can countries are olToring the most ' liberal inducements to the peoples of : Kuropo to emigrate , wo are devising measures thnt will make it nioro diffi ' cult for them to come to the United States , The question is , has this coun try attained all the growth and development - opmont it is capable of ? During the year ending June 30 , 18S0 , the nuinbor ot immigrants who eutorcd the United States was in round figures four hundred nnd twouty-two thousand | , and of these only seven hundred nnd olghty-soyon wore roturncd under the law which prohibits the landing of any convict , lunatic , idiot or any person un- ! nblo to take care of himself or herself 1 without becoming a public charge , Tills is certainly a very satisfactory showing as to the character of the im ' migrants It is possible that the law vy was not as olllcieiitlv enforced us it 1should bo , but this fact would not show that it is not timplo for our pro teetion against an invasion of ob- jectlonablo classes from abroad if faithfully administered And cer- tainly this can bo douo The prosenl policy of leaving the execution of the law to state agencies , under contracts with the soorotary of the treasury , is unwise The soorotary says it results in grave difficulties Disputes aviso as to the respective jurisdictions of na- tional and state authorities , and there has boon ample evidence showing that some of these state commissions grossly wrong both the government nnd the immigrants They have > great opportunities to do both , and an investigation of the method of the New York board disclosed the faot that thorp at least the opportunities have foryoni-s boon freely improved The entire busi- lies * relating to immigration should be assumed by the gonornl government It is a purely national nffuir , and ought to bo attended to exclusively by the * na tional government The secretary of the treasury rocomtuonds that this bo done , and congress should hood thosug- gostiou The demand for additional rostric- I tlons upon immigration is purely Boliiah ] It is essentially unpatriotic , since it not only anl-ngoni7.es the iiolicy of the govlo erumontfrom its foundation , but profo poses to put a check upon the future growth of the country in population , These who urge this policy are moved only by the thought of present ndvantiz ago to themselves , indifferent lo the future development of the country and never redacting that had such n policy prevailed in the past the United States would < not bo the wealthy , powerful and prosperous nation it is For the dosn slrnblo classes of the old world these who now constitute the most industriill ous , thrifty and solf-roliant portion of our people there is still abundant room , and they should bo given all proper encouragement to como The oxistlng law is nlnplo for excluding tlioso who nro undesirable , and all that congress need do is to make adequate provision for its thorough enforcement 1 DOa-lX-THE-MA\aEn .S/ ///7\ The defeat of the market house proi > - osition is nuothor strildng Illustration of the nnrrow minded , dog-in-tho- manger , spirit which provalls in this community : to an extent thnt positively clogs ' the progress of the city WhenH over any public cntorpiiso is projected there ' are alwajs scores of people ready l(1 fight It because it will benefit sometl body ( When the elty hall was located the : stock in trade ot its opponents was that | It would bonclit Rosewater and Tin : Bin : .
