I consider prize-fghting to be as le-
gitimate a business as any other if a
man conducts himself honestly in it.
l never struck a man foul blow nor
took dollar which l hadn't earned.
Just as another man would make cap
ital out of his brains, | have out of my
muscle, and why people should howl
about it | can't understand. | notice
that these fellows who do so much
preaching about fist fights keep out of
sight when anybody else talks about it.

GOODBYE EK HOWDY-DO.

Say goodbye er howdy-do-
What's the ODDS betwixt the two?
Comm -gOin'-every day
Best friends first to go away
Grasp of hands you druther hold
Than their weight in solid gold,
Slips their grip while greeting you
Say goodbye er howdy-do.
Howdy-do, and then good bye
Mixes Just like laugh and cry;
Deaths and births, and worst and best,
Tangled their contrariest;
Every jinglin' weddin' bell
Skeerin' up some funeral knell-
Here's my song, and there's your sigh;
Howdy-do, and then goodbye.

A Call for Legislation That Will Check the
Tide Of Undesirable Immigrants.

A Call for Legislation That VIII Check the
Tide Of Undesirable Immigrants.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, April 80. - In view of the
statistics given out at the Treasury Department
two or three days ago showing the immigration
into the United States during the past year
compared to that Of the previous year. good
deal Of talk has been renewed by men in Con-
ersss about the necessity Of some kind Of laws
restricting the inpour of foreigners into our
country. During the nine months ending
March 81, 1887. 260,961 immigrants ar
rived at the various ports in the United
States, and for the sama period in 1883 the num-
Der was increased to 295, go. The largest part
Of these come from Great Britain and ireland,
there being 50 AID from those countries in the
last nine months. Nearly every country on the
globe, outside the oriental and occidental. con-
tributed to this volume Of foreigners. The na-
tional legislators say that mp to year or two
ago the United States was very glad TO welcome
immigrants, because she had large public do
main which she was glad to have settled and
improved, but that since than nearly all Of the
desirable agricultural lands have been taken.
and there are none left for our own
native people, and since there has, of
late years, been q good deal OF political
trouble from the foreign elements arriving,
there s no necessity for Offering the induce
ments that have been standing prize for for
eiguers to come here. Almost every man in
Congress Is free to say that there should DO
some kind OF legislation on the subject so ga to
at least curtail the inflow of those who are not
known to be Of the character desired a. perma-
pent citizens. yet It Is such delicate question
that each one hesitates to take the initiative.
The time has about arrived, they all agree.
when some one must move in the matter. and
undoubtedly there will be some radical PROPOSE.
