At the last session of congiesi n bill

hotisp. The measnie tlld not receive

order of biiMlni'Sfi is adopted by unan-
ImniH consent the 7th of December will

. The advocates of gieater ic-
siilctlon upon Immigration aie mani
festing n gieat deal of Interest In this
measure and me prepailng to o.\uil
their lititupnee upon the senate for its
passage. The Ipngnp in J'.nston which
wants more bnrrleis picctoil to keep out
foreign population is especially aetho
ami as Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
has rhaige of tlio i ducatl.Mial test bill
II Is to bo p\uctptl ] that he will urge
action upon II , although he Is said to
have confeMoil to u discovery , dining
the Into campaign , legaidlng tlio patilot-
Ism nntl gond sense of our foiclgn-bmn
cltlxpii-s which may have somewhat
modified his views an to thn uecessltj
for more lestrictlvo leglislatlon.
The bill in cpipstlon provides that all
persons over J i yi ars of age who can
not read ami write the language of
theli native country or poino other lan
guage shall bo excluded from admis
aion into tlio Unltod Slates , except that
ait aged ppi'fcou not so able to icad ami
Wtite who 1 < the piupnl or grandpaicnt
of an admirable Immigrant may ac

rant. Tor the pmpose of testing the
ability of the Immigrant to lead and
wilte , inspection olllceiaie to be fin-
nlshed with copies of the constitution
of the 1'nlted States , printed on slips ,
each slip containing the lines of the
constitution printed in the \ailoiis lan
guages of tlio immlgianls. These slips
are to be placed in bo\es , fiom which
they shall be diawn by the IniinUi.inl
and lead and tr.mseilbed In the pies-

Immigrant falling to lead and wilte
out the slip thus iltawn by him shall
be admitted , but ho slnll be ictnined
to the count i j * from which he came at
the expense of tlio steamship or lallioad
company which ( nought him , as now
piovlded by law.
When this bill was callo.l up in the
senate last May , Senator Gibbon of
Louisiana made a veiy strong speech
In opposition to It , In tlio couise of
which he said :
If our purpose * spring from it foncnt itc-
slrc to buncllt the puoplo by rcstrlctltiK im
migration , then \\c must loolc for some more
IcKltlmatu anil pinctlcal moans than this
measure ! now unilci1 tonilileratlon. This bill
will not accomplish U Of nil tlio'proposed
legislation before the senate of tlio United
States \\ltliln my experience nothing Is fur
ther rcmoxed from wisdom and Justice than
this. It Is undemocratic , unropubllcan , tin-
umerlcaii , and IMS no health In It It Is
barbaric and cruel ; In Its operation It \\lll
separate families and dtvtdo these among
them ttho may bo able to read and wrllr
from these \\liu cannot. It Is 'a standhiK
nit-naro to the future of the west and south.
It111 keep out from the country Imml-
grantn who are desired and will admit those
who are not , The uneducated laborer ,
whoso RtroiiK musclcs and willingness tn
w-ork wo are In need of , will bo driven back ,
whllo the communist and socialist nad loud
mouthed and filthy anarchists who labor
with their tongues , dcmngo uos , ot Id omne
genus , because the } are able to read , will
bo allowed to come In o\ll fellows v.ho
work not themselves , but who foment dis
cord and discontent among worltlugmcii ,
who. If left to themselves , would bo good
citizens These are the educated class whom
this bill would admit.
Wo belles e the Intelligent and un
projudlced sentiment , of the country
will tully concur with this. The senate
icpubllwiiis will Mibseno the InteiVHlM
of the part.v bj icfusing to penult anj
tinketlng of the Immlgiatlon laws at
the coining session. 1 he coutvie of the
foreign bout voteix at the Into election
has shown them to bo cltly.ens whose
patilotlsm , Integiity amr devotion to
the honor of the nation can be de
pended upon. These cltl/eiis are be
lieved to be piactically unanimous
against any fuitlu-r lesttlctions on Im
initiation and no demand of seltlshness
or piejudlce .should Induce the repnb
llean paity to dKiegaid their \iews In
this icspeet. The Ijnmigiatlon quest Ion
Is not of uigent linpoitaiue , as Ihu ad
vocates of inrther ustiil-tion asseit. Ac
Loidlng to the commissioner of imiulgra
tlon there has la-en little addition to
our foreign population in the last thice
jiais ami neatly all of those who have
come are of the class that makes gooil
mil useful cltl/.ens. Theie i.s loom lot-
nine such. Thoj aie wanted in the.south
mil in the west , i\lstlug : legislation
if ptopeilj enfoiced , Iscample to Keep
out the unde.sliable classes of the old
w01 Id ami nothing Is to bo gained by
uldillonal testilctlons.

Mr. Andrew D. White Is authority for

lonable that the incicase In cilmes of

IC.-.H of gieat numbets of people. It
x a familiar tiulsin that idlemss con

his conntiy than ever before. Hut
his does not wholly account for the
towtU uf crime. Tbuie id wuutlug in
the police tlepnrtmpiits of most of our
cities the Intelligence nnd skill that
will lender more sure the nppi'Miensloii
of ci ( initials and thus cxcit a tcpre.s
slvo Inlhteiice upon those who woitli' '
commit crime. The coutts , too , aie not
altogether blameless , since thi\v too
often by allowing delays and otherwise
nnaccessnilly favor criminals. Perhaps ,
also , some fault Is to bi > laid at the
door of Juileseiy many of which
are composed of men not qualified for
the Impoilant icsponslblllly devolved
on them.
Hut whatever the elienmstaitecs that
contribute to the Increase of cilmes
of violence , the fact that theie has
been a lapld Inciease Is u very sell-
tins mailer. Perhaps with the icstoia-
tlou of better Industilal conditions now
taking place the iccoid of violent cilmes
will be lednced.
