Tights on the Stage

Minnesota legislators have much to
learn about art, and great deal about
common sense. The mind that can see
aught immoral or vicious in the spectacle
afforded by bevy of pretty girls drilling
in tights in a comic opera Is either pitiably
lasciyous or absurdly prudish.
As a matter of fact, no law can ever
reach the most dangerous and demOraliz-
ing phases of immoral Characterization
upon the stage. These are so subtle and
eVaneScent as ever to elude the cold
clutches OF the statute. 1t is not the APP
pearance in tights Of well behaved young
women, nor yet the foul language of
coarse and abandoned actresses that play
havoc with The thoughts of their behold
ers, because the former is harmless and
the latter disgusts; IL is the indefnab bic
suggestiveness of daring and audacious
women who know their art to a nicetv.
and who calculate its effect with hours Of
rehearsal and thought. These women
you will never see in tights. Long ago
they learned what Minnesota legislators
are too stupid to comprehend-that their
purpose can best be gained in demure
costumes-the garb Of innocence and
purity, the very livery Of virtue.

Partial Deafness.

1t has been affirmed that at least one
person in three between the ages Of 10 and
40 years is subject to partial deafness. The
great majority Of cases Of deafness are he
redltary, and due to the too close consan-
guinity of the parents Deafness is more
prevalent among men than among women,
because the former are more exposed to
the vicisSitudcs of climate. It is thought
that telephones tend to bring on deafness
when one ear is used to the exclusion of
the other.

THE DANGEROUS ALIENS.

Attack the spirit that infuses those insti-
tutions with vitality, and you take away
the strength of this great Republic-to
which are turned the eyes of the oppressed
in all lands, and the hope of the race in
ages to come. And yet it is precisely this
very spirit of civil and religion; liberty
which the immigrants of the present period
attack as soon as they land IL our ports.
Not only are many of these immigrants,
as we have already said, from races widely
alien to those which created this Republic,
but worse still, they now come from the
classes in those countries which are accus-
toned to yield the domination of their
consciences to their civil and especially
their religious leaders. Their souls are not
their own. Are such men fit to exercise the
great responsibility of citizenship, in this
land of educated freemen?
Are men fit to hold the ballot, and to
elect legislators and Presidents, who only
vote az they are ordered by ambitious and
unscrupulous politicians? Are men ca
pable of governing in free community who
are bound hand and foot by hierarchical
organizations, whose dictator lives abroad
and whose guiding principle is secretly or
openly to oppose any government that al
lows free thought, and does not yield prior
allegiance to the clergy?

natural as it struck me, for him to say:
Nothing wrong at the Office"
81 cannot say, sir, 1 replied, f'but Mr..
Apsley sent me over with this letter to
you, which he said was of extreme inn
portance."
The manager took the letter and tore it
open with a haste l had never seen him use;
he was very slow, methodical man, and
took everything in general very quietly.
Directly he had read the letter his ordinary
manner returned to him.
''There is nothing here requiring such
immediate haste, I think, but, of course,
tell Mr.. Apsley it shall be attended to at
once Mr.. =, that is, the gentleman he
alludes to, shall hear from me by to-night's
post. have a few friends 70 dinner, Mr..
Ackers though, as you are not in evening
dress, you may not care to join them; but
YOU must, at all events, have a glass of
wine"
This 1 declined, and he did not press it;
though perfectly civil-indeed, much more
conciliatory in his manner than 1 had ever
known him to be, for it was always cold
and reserved-he was obviously glad to get
rid of me. As host detained from his
guests this was not to be wondered at, but
the impression it left upon me was very un-
pleasant.
AS passed into the hall the ladies were
leaving the dining room; six or eight of
them, all beautifully dressed, trooped up
the staircase without perceiving our pres
ence, but the last one, the lady of the house,
caught sight of us and looked surprised.
She was a very handsome woman, half a
head taller and considerably larger than Mr..
Jones, and her voice, though musical enough,
had touch of imperiousuess in 1t as she in
quired what was OBTAINING him.
''My young friend, Mr.. Ackers, - he ex-
planned, "has been so good as to bring me
an important letter from Cornhill.
''Oh, the office, she answered, contempt
uously, and without taking the least notice
of her husbands introduction, she followed
her guests up the stairs.
AS drove away to the station it seemed
TO me like awakening from sort of splen-
did nightmare. Was it possible that Squire
Jones could really be one with our most re-
spectacle but very unassuming manager?
Could that virago in lace and satin be his
wife?

he directed to see that emigrants are fully
informed on these points, before sailing for
this country. There is little doubt that
many would be delerred from coming, were
snch ordinances to exist; while the charac-
ter of those who should come, would be
proportional1y higher both as to condition
and intelligence.
It NAV be said that some of these ordi-
nances would not come within the scope of
the Federal Government. But as regards
elections, Congress certainly has the power
to place before the people amendments re-
lating to the election of Federal officers
Congress also has the right to regulate the
awarding of land in the Territories and
public domains. 1t is likely also that
many if not all of the States could be
brought to adopt similar enactments IN view
OF the ultimate benefits.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
Unless some such measures are passed
before long and strictly enforced, we must
be prepared to encounter evils ana settle
problems which even the elastic character OF
our institutions cannot avert, nor overcome
without a long and perilous struggle
The restless energy, the shlttlng cnar-
acter of our people, indicates that Provi-
dence intends to have the immigration con-
tinue for time as a safety valve for the
expressions of the Old World. The immi-
grants fill up the interstices, the vacancies
in the constantly moving community. That
is condition outside of and beyond us.
But on the other hand it is our duty, and we
still have the power, to regulate the lmml-
grafton to our shores. We shall deserve to
suffer if we neglect to exercise that power.

PRESENT DAY ISSUES.
Ex-Minister Benjamin Speaks on Our
Attitude Toward Aliens.
DANGERS THAT MUST BE FACED.
Citizens Are Too Easily Made, and Restrie
tion Is Necessary.
AN UNWHOLEsOME SET OF IMMIGRANTS
. WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.

In one sense we are all aliens in this
country. Leaving the aboriginal Indians
out of account, we are descended from i'm
migrants. The chief characteristic of this
nation, is and has been, immigration. 1t
may seem strangely inconsistent, therefore,
to undertake to discuss the question now as
one productive of mischievous results and
requiring careful inspection and regulation.
That this has at last become necessary, is
due to marked change in the conditions of
emigration to the United States.
They who oppose any official supervision
of the coming of foreigners to the United
States either ignore this fact or consider
the altered character of the conditions as
giving to foreigners greater rights here than
belong to those whose ancestors laid the
foundations of this republic.
So long as the sparse population of this
country was scattered in widely separated
communities, having little relation to each
AS during the colonial period-it mattered
little whether they were Dutch, English,
German, Swedish, French or Spanish. Nor
when the colonies were united under COM
mon government was there any danger to
our institutions while the character of the
immigration continued practically homo
geneous.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-10-17
EVIDENCES OF A CHANGE.

So long as the immigrants readily and
naturally accepted the principles of the
Constitution, and identified themselves with
our country and its institutions without
reservation, and without arrogance or dis
position to assert separate nationalities
here, the danger from this sourse was slight.
1t was slight also while our urban popula-
tion was small and the vastness of the public
domain attracted the largest proportion of
immigrants to agricultural pursuits That
there has been a very remarkable change in
all these respects there is unfortunately no
longer room to doubt.
For long time many of the immigrants
were of high average of merit, intelligent,
and often led to come here by high ethical
motives. Now, not only are these aliens
very largely drawn from the dregs of the
countries whence they came, but they also
come from nations having but faint concep
tion of civil or religious liberty.
1t follows that these people, whom we
hasten to endow with the rights of citizen
ship, are often as ignorant of its response
bilities, as well as privileges, as new born
babes. Their unftness for citizenship is
only equalled by our folly in granting it to
them. Nor is this unftness simply a passive
quality; it is characterized by a pernicious
activity that renders it positive energy
opposed to the very spirit which gives value
and force to our institutions.

UNFIT EoR POLITICAL POWER.

ent.
They who assume therefore that the in
subordination and anarchy that are capable
of some palliation in Europe, are equally
reasonable in the United States are unfit
to elect our lawmakers or administer our
laws. Nor are they fitted for American
citizenship who import the feuds or politi-
cal perplexities of Eupore to this country
and use that citizenship as protection for
promoting and mingling in the intrigues
and revolutions of the lands whence they
came.
NO RIGHT TO CITIZENSHIP.
He who cannot wholly and absolutely
identify himself with American citizenship.
dropping forever all previous political
affiliations, should never assume it, nor
should he be admitted to so great priyi-
lege. Now it is precisely because of these
changed conditions in the character of our
immigration, precisely because so large a
proportion of our immigrants are now unfit
to exercise or appreciate citizenship here,
that the question has arisen, "What shall be
our attitude toward aliens?"
the public lands, and the opening of other
eligible fields of labor, especially in Cen
tral Africa and Central Asia, together with
other causes, will gradually reduce immi-
grafton to the United States. The Latin
population, especially, shows growing
tendency toward South America. But.
even so it will not be in our time that the
evil will be sufficiently reduced to cease to
be a source of danger to our institutions
And before that time comes great further
mischief may be added to the turbulence of
our tardes unions, and the vast corruption
of our local governments and politics, of
which the chief cause has been the indis-
criminate extension of citizenship to aliens.
PATRIOTS SHOULD ACT.
1t is high time for the true patriots of
America to meet this question BY concerted
action, not in bitterness toward foreigners
as such, but calmly and earnestly and solely
as matter Of self-protection. Self-preser-
walton IS the hrst law OF nature as well as of
individuals.
The inspection of emigration, made nee
essarv by recent legislation, is a stem in the
right direction. A head tax should be
added of S15, certainly not less than $40.
Those who cannot pay this can stay away.
The revenue from this source would tend to
reduce the taxation of those who are already
citizens. No alien should be able to obtain
land, either by grant or purchase, until he
becomes o citizen.
Citizenship should not be granted to any
alien until he has been ten full Consecutive
years in this country, nor to any alien who
cannot write English. or read any book in
that language offhand. He who has not the
energy or the intelligence to acquire this
much, is unit to vote on the destinies of the
country, wherever born, but especially if
born an alien in despotic lands
