New Immigration Law.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Represen-
tative Owens immigration bill, which
is one OF the most important measures
considered during the present session,
passed the senate and only awaits the
signature OF the president to make it
law. The bill excludes idiots. insane
persons paupers and persons likely to
become public charge, persons suf-
ferlng from loathsome or contagious
disease felons. polvgamists and alien
contract laborers.
One of the most important features
OF the bill is the clause which gives
the immigration officers authority to
return emigrants TO the country whence
they came at the expense OF the steam
snip company having brought them, if
II shall be discovered at any time with
n Il year after their landing that they
nave come in violation of law. I'm
uer the present law when an emigrant
mas once been allowed to land, there is
no authority for any action against him.
Another important feature of the bill
prohibits employers from advertising
IN foreign countries for laborers and
any emigrant coming in response to
such act shall be treated as having
come in violation of this law.
1t otherwise strengthens the alien
contract labor law by closing every
loop-hole through which contractors
ana labor importers have so sccessful-
iy evaded it, 1t also places the adj
mlnlstration OF the immigration laws in
the hands OF the superintendent OF i'm
migration, instead of leaving it to Off
cials of various states.

The time has come for reforming
our educational work in the direction
OF simplicity. 1t is as much to be de-
sired for the good of the pupil as it is
for the relief of the public treasury.
There are few things which, though
valuable in themselves to those who
want them and are willing to pay for
them, could be better spared from our
system OF public school education than
the instruction now given in foreign
language.

FEW things are moro vulgar and
disagreeable to others than the habit
OF endeavoring to monopolize the con-
versation in a mixed company. As no
well-bred man will ever make himself
the subject of the conversation. Sc
neither will he seek to engross the
whole. As every man would rather
please others by what he says-or. in
other words, as every man is best
pleased with the consciousness OF
pleasing, so should all have an equal
opportunity of aiming at it. A polite
man will therefore not take more of n
general conversation than falls to his
share; nor in this will he show any
violent impetuosity of temper, or ex-
ert any loudness of voice even in in
quiry. For the information of the
company and the conviction Of his an
lngonist are to be his apparent motives
not the indulgence of his own sride.

DID THE BISHOP STEAL ITP
Charge of Plagiarism Brought AxaIns
Dr. w. 3, Perry, of Iowa


Dr. w. y. Perry, of Iowa.
New YORK, Aug. What is said to
be one Of the most audacious pieces of
plagiarism on record, and imputed,
moreover, to bishop of the Episcopal
church, has been brought out through
the recent controversy over the confir-
nation of Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks.
The gentleman who is accused of steal
ing the works of another is DIR. William
Stevens Perry, bishop of Iowa. The
alleged literary theft is said to have
occurred during the bishops attempt
TO prevent the confirmation of Bishop
Potter. The book from which IL is
charged he took this matter is now
such a rare volume that many people
have been unable TO verify the charge.
A copy of the work, however, was dis
covered by reporter in the Astor Lii
brary. 1t is included in the volume of
Exeter Hall lectures for 1851 and 1852.
and consists of lecture by Rev. George
Fisk, prebendary of Litchfeld, entitled
"The Christian Character In Its Con-
nection with Secular Pursuits" From
this short lecture, now many years out
Of print, there are long passages which
Bishop Perry seems TO have stolen in
their entirety. Bishop Perrys is en-
titled Life Lessons from the Book of
Proverbs" II was published in 1885
by Thomas Whitaker, of No. 9, Bible
House. Mr.. Whitaker now has the
book for sale, and since the charge of
plagiarism was first brought against
Bishop Perry, few days ago, he has
had many calls for it from Episcopal
divines in various parts OF the country.
