RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION
How 1t Might Work Bismarck's Sc.
lection Of Emigrants.

The editor of the Grand Rapids
Workman has been considering the
proposed restriction to emigration.
and thus argues:
Several members of congress,
which includes the senate, have pre-
sented bills to restrict foreign immi-
grafton. Our own congressman, Mr..
Ford, has presented one, and one of
our State senators, Mr.. Palmer, has
presented another. These bills are
much the same. They provide who
ever desires 20 come to this country
and become q citizen shall have a
ticket to that effect. This ticket
shall be marked "admit one" and
will be a complimentary ticket.
These gentlemen, Messrs. Ford and
Palmer, are undertaking to do what
to thea appears to be a commend
able thing. But they are on uncer-
tain ground, and are hampered by,
certain Logical facts which stare
them in the face and which are hard
to got around. What they are doing
they are doing of their own volltlon,
and yet they are little uncertain as
to the verdict of their constituency.
They know that there is quite a
general sentiment against anarchists,
criminals, yagabonds and vagrants.
They know that certain restrictions
have been pointed out as objection
able, and yet logically it is eminently
unfair to show favoritism. They
have endeayore1 to establish a moral,
mental and physical standard for the
foreigner who wishes to become an
American citizen. 1t hasn't as yet
been decided what his creed, his
weight, the color of his eyes or the
size of his feet shall be to enable him
to become one of our people. Their
plan is to pick out the cream of
Europe, the elite. This is done
through the consul. In order to do
this it will be necessary to have a
board of examiners, consisting of at
least a doctor, a minister or priest,
and school teacher. The doctor
should see that none with dyspepsia,
weak ewes or consumptive tendencies
are accepted; the minister that there
are none with atheistic or liberal
views, and that they have certif
cate of good citizenship from the
police authorities, and the school
teacher that they could read and
write, have a fair knowledge of the
constitution and the workings of
republican form of government.
But IL serious difficulty would
probably arise here or there. The
gentlemen on the other side would
very likely have something to say on
this subject. Imagine old Bismarck,
for instance, insisting that the appll-
cants should come TO him and get
their ticket of leave. Surprising he
should put questions something like
these:
GLOW old are yor.:'
"Thirty-tive years.
GLOW much do you weigh"
Gone hundred and seyenty-tive
pounds"
'Let me see your hands"
Hands callous and hard, showing
that he works.
"Are your lungs sound?'

n MORAL HERO.
True to Heart Within and the God
Above.

Rev. George l.. Morrill, preached at
Calvary Baptist church yesterday morn
ing on Moral HeroS." He said: THE
growing splendor of our nation has its
roots in the graves of men who were
true to heart within and God over
head Napoleon's prophecy has been
fulfilled: 'Posterity will talk of Wash
lngton with reverence as the founder of
great empire when my name shall be
lost in the vortex of revolutiOnS.'
America, more than any land, needed
a man on whose arm she could lean.
and one whose head and heart she could
trust. The God who called and fitted
Cyrus for his position gave us man
whom the world united with Everett
in declaring to be the greatest of good
men and best of great men, Ancient
or modern history records no name of
any comparison with the general whose
deepest trust in God, and
whose heart was as large as humanity.
The mother said: Il am not surprised
at what George has done, for he was
always a good boy" Greater than the
official position he occupied or the
measures he originated or carried
through was his Christian character,
which tells us that trne success in pub
lie life is not Incompatible with, but
impossible without religion. Natural
science with Darwin accent tells lis that
morals and religion are distinct-that
morality is mere produce and religion
vague emOtiOn-Dut conscience, who
rules both and makes them one, says:
LET God be true and every man liar"
A characteristic of the religion OF Jesus
Christ is its unyielding regard for moral
obligation. Pagan religions are I'M
moral in form and spirit.
Born of a spirit which rays righteous
ness eXalteth a nation, but sin is re-
prOach to any people" Washington
declares that treason and experience
both forbid US to expect that national
morality can prevail in exclusion Of re-
ligiouS principle' 1t is high time for
party politicians and lying lawyers to
remember that religion is the only sure
basis for public law and private virtue
and nothing else will do OH a soil where
patrician culture and plebean heart are
united in one. True greatness and
goodness are synonymous in the realm
of government, philosophy, science and
art. May the God of our fathers with
hold the impiouS hand of those who
would stab liberty'S heart and drain 1T
OF the purity and truth winch course
the broad arteries of our national life.
The righteous shall be in everlasting
remembrance the name of the wicked
shall rot" May He who never spoke or
acted like man help us learn the lesson
of life's laws in their relation to God
and man. Let us trust Him at all times
as Washington did that dying we may
say with our loved immortal, its well,
Father of mercieS take me 10 ThYSelf.n

This law also makes it misdemeanor

caucus or primary election is held, or
Tor any person to make any false re-
turn of the ballots cast, or Offering

both fine and Imprisonment.
Section 103 of this law reads as follows:
The words primary election used in
this act shall be construed SO as to en-
brace all elections held by any political

the purpose of choosing candidates for

What is evidently blunder on the
part OF some writer on the Pioneer Press,
is the statement which appeared in
Saturdays issue, that Attorney General
Clapp had held that election
returns need not be made to the county
auditors, as required by the Whiteman
election law and which was also
required by the old election
law. What the attorney gen
eral did hold was that the
returns of the election Of township of

eSSary and needless expense. and that
such was not the intention Of the legis-

HE DIED HAPPY,
Poor MaIOney's Charity on the
Verge of the Grave.

Congressman O'Neill says, in the St..
Louis Globe-Democrat, there was we'll
TODD IriShman up On O'Fallon street,
near Biddle market, in st. Louis, who
found himself about to pass away. HIS
name was Maloney. He sent for his old
friend O'COnnOr to come and make his
will. Everything was in readiness, and
the dying man said:
''Put down $500 for masses up at st.
Laurence O'Toole's for the repose of
my SOUL"
The pen scratched away, and then
Mr.. O'Connor said:
''What next, Mr.. MalOney?"
''Put down $500 for the Little Sisters
of the Poor: Have We that down, Nh.
O'Connor?"
II have, Mr.. Maloney. What nixt?'
''Put down $3.50 for st. Louis Orphan
asylum"
what mkt, Mr.. Maloney?"
put down 81 200 for ME brother Pat.
He don't made it, but it's all the same.
1 can't carry it wild me-"
'What mkt, Mr.. Maloney?"
So the work went on slowly and SOL
EMMY, the dying man bringing himself
up with all effort to the task, and Mr..
O'Connor stopping now and then to
draw his finger across his nose and sniff
sympathetically. Finally the dying
man said family:
II think that's all I have to Will"
O'COnnor footed up the items, looked
at the balance in the little old bank
book, and said:
"No, Mr.. Maloney, there's tin dollars
yit.''
The dying man lay absorbed in
thought for few moments and then he
satd:
"O'Connor, put down that tin dollars
to spind with the byes at me funeral"
O'COnnOr began to write; then he
stopped, looked toward the bed with a
puzzled expression, and asked softly:
''Mr. Maloney, shall put it down to
spind going to the funeral OF coming
back?'
The dying man lay very quiet for a
few moments as he studied the problem,
and then, with an effort, replied:
"O'Connor, put down tin dollars to
spend goin' to the funeral, for then Tll
be wild ye."

FRANK is FERTILE
And Selects a Concert to Please
the Million.

the Million.
The most fastidiOuS critic with a
grudge against German music must
have smiled when he saw the pro-
gramme at the DAM concert yesterday
afternoon in Harmonic hall. There
were eight selections given and each
represented the work of a composer of
different nation. In this garland of
music were represented the flowers
culled from the pOeSy of English, Aus
trian, Italian, Norwegian, American
and German music, and the result was
q remarkable symposium of melody and
song, which was applauded to the echo
by the large and fashionable audience
the series, and as far as attendance and
beauty of the music presented, was GER
tainly OH par with all of it's successful
predecessors. The audience was slow
at the opening in giving applause, but
at the conclusion of the fourth num-
Der, in which A. d. Laird gave
the ''Coney Island Polka" as a cornet
solo the enthusiasm was unbOunded.
THE Reverie" for string orchestral, by
Dunkler, was also an unbOunded favor
lite, and all encore was demanded and
given. Among other gems given were
the "CujuS Amman" ROssini, overture,
"Maritana." Wallace, introducing the
ever tuneful melody, ''Oh, Friends That
Are Dearest" The concert closed with
request piece, Strauss waltz, "The
Village Swallows" The effect of this
charming piece was magical, and liter
ally brought down the house.

WILL LET UP"
The Grand Jury Will Probably Not
Try to Make Trouble.

The grand jury meets again to-day,
and vii! probably dispose of such cases
as will be brought to its attention by
commitments from the municipal with
out going to the trouble of instituting
any of those searching Investigations
that are periodically aimed at saloon
keepers and the social evil. Indications
are that this farce is to be omitted. 1t
is not thought that the ever vigilant
county attorney has been making an
other crusade. and the offenders against
the sumptuary laws will probably be al
lowed to recuperate their finances so
they can stand ''haTd one" next term.
There are 10 cases of great Importance
for trial. There are few unimpOrtant
larcenies, gambling cases, and proSecu-
lions for selling adulterated milk. The
case of j. X. O'Brien, charged with sell
ing liquor without license, involves
the important point as to whether
liquor license can be transferred, as has
been customary heretofore. The charge
of embeZZlement against l.. n. Shop
herd is likely to lead to an interesting
trial. Those who have been bound over
