BRIEF OPINION FROM GEN. FISK.

A BRIEF OPINION FROM GEN, FISK.
The question of immigration Is such a
large one, hardly dare undertake to
say much about it in my hurry, but that
the American people must in the near
future take such action as to quantity
and quality as will very materially re-
strict immigration, have not the slight
est doubt. The careful. observer of the
heavy decrease of the best immigration
from abroad with more than corre-
spending increase in the worst elements
from abroad cannot but be apprehensive
of immediate and great danger to our
American institutions.

A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE SOLVED j..

The problem of immigration is an ex-
oeedingly difficult one and as yet is only
in the first stages of solution. It in
wolves, as it seems to me, two wholly
distinct issues, which are apt to be con-
founded as being Identical. That is TO
say, there is the question of immigra-
ton pure and simple and the other and
very different question Of citizenship.
The present test of citizenship is as loose
and as low as it well could be. The
most intelligent of Chinese and Of In
dams are excluded from citizenship; the
most degraded of the African race
are eligible to a privilege which should
be considered an exalted one, but which
in this country is certainly depressed TO
pretty low depths. Il may, I conclude.
be wise to admit as immigrants those to
whom citizenship should not be offered

RESTRICTION ESSENTIAL TO NATIONAL

RESTRICTION ESSENTIAL TO NATIONAL
HEALTH.
Restriction OF foreign immigration is
as essential to the health of the body pol
tito, as the exclusion of poison from the
physical system is essential to physician
health.
Each immigrant should be required 20
bring from the United States consul at
the port from which he sailed, a descrip-
ton sufficient for Identification q brief
account of his life, and certificate of
good character and capacity for self sup
port.
To insure thoroughness and fidelity in
this examination of immigrants, aD-
pointments to the consular service should
be made on business rather than pO-
litical basis; fixed salaries should be paid
instead of fees; and tenure of Office dur
ing efficiency and good behavior should be
observed. WILLIAM DEWITT HYDE.

as the lower order of the Slavs, Turks,
japanese and others. On the other
hand, legislation of the past two or three
years has, and as believe, wrongfully
been regulated on a purely economic
basis. That is to say, we prohibit labor
ers from coming under contract-whlch
is all right; but when the prohibition is
made to include clergymen, whole or
chestra of musicians and others engaged
in professional callings, as physicians,
lawyers, architects, etc. the law is all
wrong; it keeps good talent out of the
country, and that not to the benefit of
good talent in the country. Criminals
and vagabonds are already excluded, as
are those liable in the opinion OF the au-
thorities to become paupers. People Of
known bad character on the other SIDE
should not be allowed to come here at
all, and this not because of the economic
effect of their coming, but because bad
people are an injury to our whole social
fabric, and their arrival threatens peril
to society. In this the law should be
made more stringent. We are not as
yet IN a position to settle the matter on
the instant; but careful commission of
experts, not politicians, should be pro-
vided for to investigate this whole sub
ject. When conclusive result is the
framing Of just immigration laws, the
question of citizenship should be taken
up, and when we come to that, we shall
do wisely TO revise the standard by plac-
ing just restrictions around a privilege
now so greatly abused. We do not need
immigrants now; we could get on well if
not an immigrant reached these shores
during the rest of the century. For one
thing believe tax should be placed on
every immigrant coming here, which l
would make $40 on every child and S25
on every adult. 1t is about time the
process of capitalization with homogenity
were in operation, and that process can
not be carried on with 200 900 of for
eigners being emptied on these shores
every decade.

VIEWS OF PRESIDENT ANDREWS OBJ BROWN
UNIVERSITY


UNIVERSITY.
All agree that insane and criminal i'm
migrants should be excluded from
our country, and also all others who are
not in condition to get themselves a live
lihood by labor. Difference of view
arises only when able bodied immigrants
in general are in question. Ny convio-
ton is that what is on the whole best in
their case cannot be decided without
knowing what our tariff policy is TO be.
If we are TO continue our high tariff the
only way 10 keep up high wages is to re-
strict immigration. Otherwise Ameri-
can labor must be thrown more and more
into competition with the pauper labor
of Europe, having practically no protec-
ton except the price of steerage passage
across the ocean. The moral and social
considerations which also favor restrio-
ton are very strong. but should not, in
nv judgment, decide the question alone.
If, on the other hand, decidedly lower
tariffs were TO prevail, restriction OF i'm
migration would not be necessary, partly
because laborers abroad would be better
OF, most of them therefore remaining at
home, and partly because our export
trade in manufactures as well as in ag-
riculfural products, would be immensely
increased so as to enlarge the demand
for labor at home. We have not yet by
any means all the laborIng population
which could profitably be employed
within our territory, provided only cor
rect distribution and favorable social
conditions in general could be brought
about. Z. BENZ. ANDREWS.

REsTRICTIoN-A MEASURE OF SELF DE-
TENSE

REsTRICTION-A MEASURE OF SELF DE-
TENSE.
The power Is inherent in national SOW
ereignity to adopt any just measure
which the national welfare requires.
Self defense requires of this nation that
it protect itself against dangerous immi-
grafton. Civilized nations long ago gave
up the practice of shutting out strangers
have never given up the right to decide
what classes of persons shall be admitted
to domicil and citizenship. The right to
restrict immigration is perfectly plain.
The expedienoy of so doing in practical
cases is the open question. 1t has been
our boast that this country offers an
asylum for the oppressed of all nations.
For time this was a tolerably safe
measure, because the difficulty of emf
grafton selected only the more vigorous
and nterprising-Ihough certain SEQ
tons Of our country are suffering and
will for generations suffer, under the
operation of this lavish hospitality. But
when, IN order TO be rid of excessive and
undesirable populations, foreign gov
ernments, and emigration societies, and
poor-law boards, remove all these diff
culties, and expatriats the dependent,
the vicious, and the criminal classes by
wholesale, 1t is no longer q question of
affording an asylum to the oppressed,
but rather Of offering our country as a
vast poor farm, reformatory, and pest
house for all nations.
For myself, 1 never have been able to
see any valid reason for excluding for
eign laborers merely because they are
laborers. The legislation which aims to
accomplish this seems to me to be pure
demagoglsm, and like all demagogIsm to
be short-sighted and suicidal. Abund-
ant labor does not in this country nee
essarily mean cheap labor. The CONT
nent has untold treasures hidden in its
depths and we have barely scratched
the surface. Every laborer consumes
according to his producing power, and
therefore increases the demand for labor
as we'll as its supply. Every new laborer,
up to the normal limit of productiveness
which in this country is as yet a long
way offs as much q competitor for pro-
ducts as for labor. In a long time to
come the country can afford to welcome
both new labor and new capital to q
share in its opportunities.
But as regards the idle, dependent,
and vicious classes, the case Is quite diff
ferent. Let the countries whose bad
social system has produced them, be
compelled to maintain them. Our obli-
cations of humanity toward them is linn
tied by our duty toward those of our own
household. To be allowed to shift upon
other countries the responsibility for be-
getting such classes would be to escape
the salutary punishment which Provi-
dence infiicts upon nations as well as
upon individuals, 'visiting the sins of
the father upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation. -

Prohibition in Iowa.

Iowa appears to be wearying of the
experiment to prohibit the sale of
liquor, and the Republican Legislative
caucus yesterday decided to favor the
resubmission of the prohibitory Con-
stitutional Amendment to the people.
1t is very generally believed in Iowa
that the people are ready to repeal the
stringent amendment. It has evil
IDENTIFY been found that in the face of
the strongest possible law and the ut
most vigilance, whisky is surrep-
titiously brought into the State, and

THE DEADLY CYCLONE.
Fearful Loss Of Life and Property
at Louisville, Kentucky.

A dispatch dated Louisville, KY,
March q, says:
Shortly after 9o'clock Pm. a tornado
swept over this city, wrecking two or
three hundred houses and killing at
least two hundred people. The
Union depot at the foot Of Seventh
street was blown into the raging tor
rent of the Ohio river. A train of
cars making up for the Louisville
Southern road went over with the
building. Falls City Hall on West
Market street was wrecked. In the
hall we're over one-hundred people
and but few of them escaped alive.
Every house OH Market, Jefferson
and Walnut streets, from Tenth to
Sixteenth streets is in ruins. Park
land, a suburb, was swept away.
Such desolation no city has known
in the century. The district laid
waste comprises an area three miles
long and nearly half a mile wide.
Fifteen unidentified bodies are lying
in heap in Falls City Hall, and
other heaps lie all over the city. Many
bodies were carried away by friends,
and it is impossible to reach them.
Later reports indicate that the
estimated loss of life and property
was exaggerated. A dispatch Of the
both says:
1t is now pretty near certain the
entire loss of life will not go much
above 100, if that number is reached
Up to this writing the total number
whose bodies have been recovered,
and the missing, who it is reasonably
certain are dead, is 80. In addition,
there are about dozen SO badly in
iured that death may ensue. From
$50 to 200 persons are injured to an
extent worth noticing, and probably
from 500 to 1000 have very slight
bruises or scratches.
The Masonic Committee wired the
following to Leander Burdick, Grand
Master, at Toledo, O.: "From what
we can gather, there are about 400
houses destroyed. Three hundred
persons are injured. of whom 20 per
cent, will probably die from their in
iuries, and 12h are now dead. The
citizens seem desirons of caring for
their own dead and injured"

How She Porsuadod Her Husband 60
Take Her to Europe.

How She Persuaded Her Husband 60
Take Her to Europe.
"Women are smarter than men every
time" said the manager Of large tour
ist excursion business in an argument
over the respective qualities of the
sexes to q New York Times reporter,
land can tell you q little story to back
my statement that think is a clincher.
When was in Chicago some years ago
an elderly lady came into my office one
day and asked mo to prepare trip to
the continent for he. husband and her
self. set to work on it the following
morning and had just about finished the
schedule when man came rushing in,
introduced himself as the husband of
my previous days caller, and told me to
stop my work. He said he did not want
to go to Europe, and he wouldn't go,
and he would be blessed if his wife was
going either. He notified me also that
no held the family purse-strings, and
then departed.
II threw the schedule away with q
mild obligatory remark about female
ways and started in on something else.
"Half an hour later in came the lady
and said that was not to bother with
what her husband said. She told me
that the trip was going to be made, and
that he was going with her, and that
when she made up her mind to do any
thing she generally didit. She left one
hundrcd-dollar guarantee with me to
finish up the itinerary, and went ahead.
"When the starting day came around
the husband walked in to see me, paid
up like little man, and went away
with his tickets, but he offered no ex-
PLANTATION as to his change of mind.
Sin the fall of that year 1 met the
couple on the steamer coming home,
and one night over our cigars the hus-
band told me the story of how his wife
persuaded him to take the trip.
"'She didn't say word to me on the
subject said he, after the day called
on you to countermand her orders, and
swolled with pride to think how easily
had knocked the idea out of her head.
On the Sunday morning before called
on you again we went to church as
usual, and after tho sermon and just as
1 was preparing my mind for dinner,
the pastor nearly stunned me by
announcing that my wife and were TO
start for Europe in few days, and
that we wished tho prayers of the con-
gregation. All eyes were turned on
our pew at once, and every body joined
in tho requested prayer. What could I
do but look thankful? I had q bad
fifteen minutes walking home, and I
didn't enjoy dinner BIT; but the funny
side of the affair struck me in the after
noon, and before long I was congratu-
lating my wife ON her cleverness, and
looking forward with interest to tho
journey myself"
