Consul Jonas of Prague Bohemia,
makes sensible suggestion in regard to
emigration He advises that United
States consuls shall examine all emf
grants to the United States and give them
credentials. This is sensible idea, and
If carried out would result in great good
to the people of this untry. The con-
suls abroad certainly have a better oppor-
tunity to know and pass upon the quaiifi-
cations of an emigrant than any one else.
This idea, IL carried out would be restric-
tive. and yet allow the better class of for
eigners liberty to emigrate. 1t is better
to have the inspection made OH the other
side than to wait until the enIgrant has
reached our shores, when, il not allowed
to land, time, trouble and expense are in
