part of the immigrants who L."J ut New-or-

for the otber nineteen twontieths who land

or Ncw-YOrk and Massachusetts, are the only
ones which were ever self-sustainlDg ana they
have not been since the reduction OF the head
tax and .he falling of III immigration when
began in 1873 The bill in proposing to eX-
tend this bankrupting business will SIMPLY
provide political machine at mcalculaple
cost 20 the country.
The care of immigrants landing here can
only be economically conducted III the larger
ports. and then only in connection with the
several benevolent associations having TINS
spccial object. There was tendency OF late
years in the New-York Commission to sur
render the actual direction of IFS aifllls 10
such non.partisan men rs the Presidents OF
the Irish and German societies ;Sand with the
addition of the President of the 81. Georges
Society. the Spanish Society, and others, WIth'
of course, State representation, the present
Board could be immensely improved and the
immigrants better cared for. The proposed
law would render the formation OF non-par-
tisan, benevolent Commission impossible; and
for this reason alone 1t ought not to be passed.
