THE LIGHT has been patiently
hammering away for the past two
years upon the anvil OF restricted
immigration and now some of the
larger journals are catching the spirit
of the music and joining in the re-
frain. The New York Tribune has
this to say favoring the position:
Congress should not fail at this
session to pass an adequate measure
for the protection OF the industrial,
moral and political interests of the
nation against undesirable immigra-
ton. This is a subject upon which
| there are no two opinions. Every
day that passes without proper law
regulating immigration enlarges the
| evil. 1t should be abruptly and
finally ended"
A stringent restrictive immigration
bill IS as much a measure Of prOtec-
ton as any tariff bill that was ever
framed; and, it goes deeper than
tariff, because it cuts off the source
of overproduction at home. To this
complexion must we come at last.

THE free coinage of silver is not
necessary to bi-metalism. The deposit
of silver bullion upon which legal
tender certificates will be issued will
effectually prevent the debasing OF
silver, and the surplus of silver IN
the great centers of the old world
will insure against any cornering OF
silver on the part of the silver pro-
ducers.

gives, bringing round with unvary-
ing regularity the days we commem-
crate, be it In gladness or IN sorrow,
in joyfulness and in smiles, or IN
heart-breaking and tears. Thus has
Time stolen our years from us until
full quarter of century
has been swallowed up, and OF
these years, elapsed since grim war
folded his banners and struck his
tents on the broad fields OF peace,
only a memory remains. 1t is that
memory which has created the Grand
Army of the Republic, and Instituted
the Decoration day, and made its
ceremonies yearly reminder OF the
debt a rehabilitated nation owes
to those who saved it from dismem-
berment. We stand once more upon
the threshold Of this day, day tor
ever consecrate to the Union and its
brave defenders; day in which
we brush aside the veil which
years have woven before the shrine
OF the nations patriot dead, and
enter with reverent tread and
grateful hearts, with fragrant
flowers and wreathes of immor-
telles their place of sepulchre,
to learn lessons of patriotism and I'M
selfish devotion to country. The
wears have not dimmed in our affec-
tlonate hearts the brightness of the
hero-crowns which these dead SOL
diers won upon the empurpled field.
Today. their wounds, their sacrifices,
their blood is precious to us. In the
day of our tribute to them we are
solemnly reminded of our duty to the
manned comrades they left behind,
legacy to the Nations care and love.
The LIGHT congratulates its readers
that here on this soil, once dedicated
to secession and dismem berment, the
fires of patriotism burn so clear that
all the dross of discord and the en-
nifty of fraternal strife are consum-
ed, and those who wore the gray
unite with those who wore the blue in
paying tribute to the Unions dead. AS
the baptism of fire and blood purified
the sense of the nation and taught as
never before the blessing of indissol-
uble union, so this day, commeorate
to those who passed through the fire
and shed their blood that the nation
might live, shall perpetuate not only
the memory of their deathless sacrifi-
ces but the idea of a national union of
states so perfect that they shall be
henCeforth and forever Que and
inseparable. 1t was for the Union
that these our comrades died, AMI for
that death we decorate their graves in
grateful remem brance of ther sacri-
fees. To all the "boys in blue"
living and dead, who bore their part
in that immortal strife the LIGHT
paws homage, no less to the living
than to the dead, and pledges all its
strength to secure for them, at all
times, such recognition as is loyal
soldiers due. The boys in gray are
enemies no more, and at this comment
orative season the survivors of the
Union hosts stretch hands to them
across our comrades graves, in glad
recognition of the peace that shall be
broken by war no more.

HALL and Hogg are keeping up the
old fight. The state has heard
enough of each from the other to
teach it the undesirableness of
both. Like the Kilkenny cats they
will simply demolish each other and
leave the line for future contestants
to fight over. AS is now probable,
Hall will develop strength enough to
defeat Hogg but not enough to secure
bis own nomination and some dark

THE DUTY ON HIDES.
The Shoe and LeatheF-Men OF New York
Express Themselves Thereon.
rRv telegraph 10 the Dispatcn1

by telegraph 10 the DlspaEn.l
WASHINGTON, April 5.-A committee re-
presenting the hide, leather, and shoe
trade of New York appeared before the
WAYS and Means Committee to-day TO OPP
pose the proposed duty Of Is per cent. on
hides. The committee was composed OF
Charles L. Scheinren. j. b. Horton, h. b.
Vaughan, Mark Hertz. j. X. Cllley, Webb
Horton i. y. Ledew, u. 7. Stevens, Harry
Howell. William II. Halsey, Charles n.
BigelOw, and John Hannah.
Mr. Scheinren argued that the rebate on
exports provided Co mitigate the effect OF
the duty would be practically valueless to
shoe-men, as most of their goods were not
exported. but found home market.
Blr. Halsey said the makers of patent
leather could not use California. Colorado,
OF Texas hides, and would not if they
could be had free of cost. They required
wet hides, free from marks and brands,
and these hides were necessarily imported.
At present makers were able TO compete
for the trade OF the world in light feathers.
They supplied Australia even. The draw
back would not avail, however, as i'm
ported hides were divided up into different
classes OF leather goods. and it would not
be practicable to ascertain what portion
of them were subject to drawback.
Mr.. Bigelow said that il the duty was
imposed. although the ultimate eject mlght
be TO maintain the existing prices Of hides
and leather, the shoe trade would be de-
moralized for eighteen months or two
years. Trade was beginning in shoes with
countries which now supplied US with
hides and point had Just been reached
where the American shoe manufacturer
was able to compete with the European
maker. and this trade would be checked
by the duty.
INCREASED DUTrrs ON FINER COTTON HOSIERY.
The committee has decided to increase
the duties proposed in the tariff bill on the
finer grades Of cotton hosiery. The grades
OF cotton stockings, hose. and half-hose,
valued at 50 and less per dozen are left as
they stood in the bill, but on grades above
that valuation, where it was proposed that
the duty should be 40 cents per dozen and
40 per cent, the following rates have been
agreed upon: Valued at more than 81 pei
dozen and not more than a. 70 cents and

FISH, BEWARE
Tomorrow is Easter Monday, and Fathers
and Sons WIN BE After You.


Faster Monday from time immemorial
has been the day for the Inauguration Of
the years fishing in Richmond.
II is holiday for the school children
and for their teachers. as well as for many
Others, and the custom is for the happy
father of sons to muster the bows, and,
with rods, bait, and lunch in hand, 90
trooping to Mayos Island, or Mayo's
bridge. or TO some other points on the
James. or to the mill-ponds near Rich
mond, where the lines are dropped and
bites awaited.
1t is also the custom for them to have
lots of fun, accumulate great stores Of adj
ventures and anecdotes, and catch very
few fish.
All the same. when these boys come to
be men, and in their turn muster their sons
for the Easter fishing, they will bethink
them OF these halycon days. and declare
with unimpeachable sincerity that tue
waters Of the Commonwealth no longer
yield such famous fish as in their boyhood.
TO youth it is a season OF budding Joys !:
of happy release from school-rooms OF
basking in genial sunshine and breathing OF
buoyant air, and of all the frohcsomeness
and elasticity that belong to the period OF
romping boyhood.
Happy DAYS Glorious youth!
An admission fee of i've cents per per-
son, father or son, will be charged TO the
