NEW York. April J.-~The committee on
political reform OF the Union League club
tonight submitted n long document on tho
recent killing in New Orleans, which was
adopted 1t considers the matter gravely,
from judicial standpoint, saying that
while II is highly probable there was kind
OF rude justice metel ont to the victims, it
was, under the government OF law and
order. nothing but murder. The event
cannot be viewed without grave ap-
prehenson. Such examples are contagious
and no one can tell where the next mob will
undertake to correct failures that are sup
posed to occur in tho administration of
law, nor how many snch assaults our sys-
tenn of government will endure. Attention
IL then given to the immigration question,
ana tho document says: "We have always
boasted that this land il an asylum for the
oppressed of all nations. For many years
We have been the asylum Of criminals and
panpers of ell nations. We have taken in
such hood OF ignorance, panperism and
crime and clothed it with the full panoply
Of citizenship that Americanism is being
diluted and assailed in way truly alarm
ing. All the better elements of the coun-
try are overtaken in dealing with this flood.
The time Is propitious to agitate these
questions before it is too late, and see

| save our country and institutions
from the peril that menaces them.
If the present laws are not sufficient others
should be framed. To postpone or finch
from meeting this Issue is perilous and
cowardly. The doctrine contended for is
not applicable to any one nationality, but
to all.
Resolutions were adopted calling upon
the government of the several states to use
all lawful means to prevent the importa-
tion of criminals and paupers, demanding
that courts be rigid in administering the
laws as to naturalization and calling upon
the press and public to agitate and discuss
the subject of the importation Of criminals
and paupers.
