information nor does II furnish the con-
sui any assistance or make any appropri-
alton for doing this. 1t is simply an adj
ditional duty imposed upon him without
appropriation for aid or expense. No
fee is to be charged the intending emil
grant for the emigration passport. The
inspection is extended along the entire
border of the United States, and Is to in.
clude immigrants by rail as we'll as by
water. The secretary of the treasury is
given power to employ an adequate
number of inspectors at salaries ranging
from 81 500 to $4,000 each to see to it that
the law shall be obeyed. These secre-
taries are to be paid presumably from
the fund which result from the head
money tax. 1t goes without saying that
a bill with these provisions has not the
slightest chance of becoming law. 1t
will not be supported in the House by
all the committee. Representative
Guenther, of Wisconsin, has already
given notice that he will propose some
very important amendments. Mr.. Ford
is understood to have succeeded in IN
cooperating in the bill good many
ideas which have been suggested to him
by professional labor agitators.

WHAT WILL EUROPE DO.
When the United States Ceases to
Be Dumping Ground for Crimi-
nails and Paupers.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The proposal on the
part of the United States to strengthen
their immigration laws by drastic enact
ments has stirred up good deal Of feel
ing on the subject here, involving criti-
cism by no means gentle or fair. Not
only is the matter watched with keen in
terest in England. but the question is ex-
citing similar degree of concern on the
continent. Not perhaps as measure of
retaliation, but as means of purifying
the moral atmosphere, it is suggested
that the colonies, Canada in particular.
have recourse to similar legislation and
thus close the gates against the only
classes who are likely to leave the United
States, and who do leave that country
both FOR the countrys good and in order
to keep out of Jail.
The Globe admits that the bill is ma
tural one and perhaps ineviteble, but
thinks it will prove to be exceedingly
serious business for Europe, and also in
crease the probability that the Chinese
question will be forced into unexpected
developments rendering the greatest OF
all social problems still more difficult OF
solution.

THE NAVAL RECORD.

Secretary whitney Urges the Immediate
Naval achievements.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. - Secretary
Whitney has sent a letter to Senator
Cameron, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs, in which he says:
'I have to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 18th inst, enclosing
resolutions of the headquarters COM
mandery of the military order of the
Loyal Legion of the United States, of Des
Moines, Iowa, in favor of the publication
of the naval records of the War of the
Rebellion, and desiring to be informed of
my opinion ON the subject.
"The importance and value of this
work are, in my opinion, not open to
question, The detailed history of the
war is a matter of professional necessity
to the navy. 1t is the only war in
modern times in which naval operations,
on great scale, haze been carried on.
1t is the only war in which rams, torpe-
does, iron-clads and steam blockades
have been employed. All that is known
of naval war to-day dates from the war
of 1861. We need the information for
building our ships, for training our Off
GERS, and for administering the navy de-
partment. In short, we need it for every
branch of naval administration if we
want to have an efficient navy. The
work should be done at once and prose-
cuted to speedy completion"

Gustavus Adolphus College. of st. Pc.

An unsophisticated girl who left Chi

up an acquaintance with brakeman,
who told her she could not 60 further

advised her stop of, volunteering to find
her comfortable quarters for the night.

court handed down this week was one
that holds that the city council of Mn
exceeded the powers granted it
by its charter in passing an ordinance
penalty upon any person
who commits an act of lewdness or in
decency within the city limits. The
question came up In the appeal case of
Mary Hancourt, who was convicted and
under the section passed by
the city council. The charter allows the
council to pass ordinances to prevent
open or notorious drunkenness or OBJ
scenity in the streets or public places in
the city, but Chief Justice Gilfillan holds
that the power of the council has been
exceeded, as the charter relates only to
acts on the streets or public places. as
may affect the public decency, but does
not authorize punishment for private
conduct, however reprehenslble it may
be in the matter of morals.

Our Governor.

A Minneapolis paper gives the follow
ing interesting gossip concerning Gov
ernor Merriam, who it says, "finds an
amount of work connected with the Of
fee of the chief executive to keep him
busily at work all day, and he makes
long hours at the executive chamber.
He is often the last one of the State Of
fcIals to leave the capitol at evening,
and is pretty prompt, too, in getting to
his Office in the morning. He usually
reaches the capitol by little after 9
O'Clock, and is busy until after IL, when
he goes to lunch. Sometimes he walks
down to the capitol in the morning, but
oftener comes down in a carriage and 10
sometimes accompanied by Mrs. Mer-
RAM as far as the entrance to the capitol
grounds. Gov. Merriam is the same in
the Office at the capitol that he was in
his Office in the Merchants National
bank. He wears the same clothes-a
Prince Albert coat and high cut vest,
and puts on no more style than he did
before he was addressed as Governor.
He has many visitors, not alone by those
who want to urge some friend for an APP
pointment at his hands, or who want
one for themselves, but the recent polit-
ical excitement in the capitol city has
drawn there prominent men from all
parts of the State, many of whom have
taken occasion to call and pay their re-
spects to the new Governor. Gov. Mer-
RAMS favorite attitude when he comes
out of his private Office to give some di-
rections to Mr.. Elliot, his private secre-
tary, or Will Angel, the executive clerk,
is an erect position with his thumbs in
the armholes of his vest. He is quick
motioned and walks out to the reception
room at a lively pace. He stops to chat
with acqaintances if any happen to be
there, but otherwise he says what he has
to say in brisk, business like way, and
then is back into his private Office again.
He stays there most of the day, and if
he is not disturbed, it is fair to presume,
disposes of good deal of business in
the course of day."

IMPORTANT TO ioWANS.

A Decision by the Supreme Court Re-
garding Grazing on Unoccupied lands.
FORT DODGE, Iowa, Jan. 22.-The SUI
preme court of Iowa has just rendered a
very important decision disposing of the
question whether owners Of unOccupied
lands can recover damage for trespass
by stock in grazing. The decision is
that damages can be recovered. For
years thousands of acres of prairie land
in Northwestern Iowa, owned by East
ern capitalists and corporations, have
been depended upon by stock raisers for
free forage, resulting in numerous snug
fortunes for them. Entertainments of
settlers have made these lands valuable
for hay crops, and hundreds of suits
were instituted against the stock raisers
by land owners. The supreme courts
opinion settles the point involved in all
suits that are pending in the lower
courts. The market price of land will
be greatly increased as q result of the
decision.
