TO RESTRICT III MIGRATION.
Propositions That Will Be Submitted to Con-

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Senate commit

All immigration except from the North and
South American countries shall be suspended for
one year from March i, 1898. the law TO be SO
framed as not to hinder the free return of Ameri-
can citizens or the easy admission OF visitors.
No vote was taken on this resolution. but
1t is probable that one may be taken at to-
morrow's meeting, and there is reason for
believing that it Will be passed. Various
suggestions for legislation for the ~restric-
ton OF immigration had been submitted by
the chairman for the consideration of tho
committee which it was decided not to
take up before the meeting OF Congress,
u 1t was determined. in view of the great
~ apprehended danger of the coming of
cholera during the summer of 1888, to limit
the present consideration of the subject TO
the question OF the total suspension OF I'M
migration for one year. The committee
also decided that it was advisable to sub
NIT to Congress- for consideration q law
embracing the following propositions:
First-No immigrant shall be admitted to the
United States between the age OF twelve and
ffty-ive years unless he can read and writo
a person above fifty five be admitted who can
not read or write, except as q member Of a fam
lily coming.
fSecond-No immigrant shall be admitted un-
less he possesses 300 in money or its equiv
alent, except that the head OF the family may
bring with him or send for the other members Of
his family, If he or they possess $25 for each
member.
Third-An intending immigrants shall bring
with them certificates from United States con-
suls abroad showing that they have satisfied
such consul that they have a right to admission
as immigrants.
Fourth-An persons seeking final naturaliza-
ton papers shall give reasonable notice TO the
court to which they intend TO apply and some
official shall investigate the facts upon the other
side when the application is considered.

DOUBTLESS many people hastily declared
that the purchasers of the Citizens Street
railway Company paid too much money for
the property. but such is not the opinion
of conservative men who have lived and
done business in Indianapolis for years.
The growth of this city the past ten years
has been attended with go little noise. and
has been SO little heralded that only those
who compare the Indianapolis of 1852 with
that of 1892, and the Indianapolis of 1892
with other cities, realize how large and
prospeS0us a city it is. In 1882 people
would have been amazed if half the money
which 1t is reported has just been paid for
the Citizens, street-railway property had
been paid then. yet men of large expert
ence in such enterprises have Investigated
the property and it's prospects,, and have
paid that large price because, in their judg-
ment. it Is a good investment. I~ndianapo-

justice to the citizens who are thereby
practically deprived of the right of suf-
frage. The purpose of elections in fair
communities is to determine the will of
the people. Therefore the interpretation
of technicalities to interfere with such
an expression of the public will as a
fair vote would afford is hostile to the
broad intent of popular elections. If
ther returns in such cases as alluded to
were incomplete the officers making
them should be called upon to rectify
such technical plumbers as neglecting to
sign their names. If the present elec-
ton law does not permit the correction
of such errors, and makes the disfran-
ehisement of hundreds the penalty of
he ignorance or stupidity of a dozen
election officers, it should be amended.
The law, above all things, should pro-
tect the right of suffrage.

DARING BANK ROBBERY.
Two Young Men Secure About SO. 900. but
Are Captured and the Money Recovered.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TRENTON, n. j. Nov. GA most daring
bank robbery occurred at / o'clock this
afternoon in Allentown, Monmouth county,
this State. AT that h6ur two young men
entered the Farmers National Bank, and,
with drawn revolvers. demanded all the
cash on hand. Cashier Hutchinson and an
assistant were the only employees of the
bank present at the time. A weapon was
held at the head of each. and one of the
robbers backed up this forcible demand
with the words: We'll blow both
your heads Oft If you don't turn
all your stuf MP st once" Cash
Ter Hutchinson quickly complied with
this request and banded over about $4,000
whIch lay on the table before him. Then
one of the robbers compelled the cashier
and the clerk to 60 to the wall and turn
their heads while the other r0bber walked
backwards out Of the door and into the
street. His accomplice quickly followed.
In a moment the cashiers courage returned
and he and the clerk rushed out into the
street and began firing 1t the fleeing
thieves. This drew a crowd and the rob-
bers were captured about two squares
from the bank. They gave their names as
j. b. Morris and Frederick Smith and were
at once removed to Freehold jail. The
money given to them by Cashier Hutohin-
son was recovered.

IMMIGRATION AND WAGES.

There is evidently a disposition on the
part of representative labor organiza-
tions to restrict immigration, not only
to an extent which will keep out pau
pers and criminals, but those who are
able to earn their bread. The resDlu-
ton adopted by the Knights of Labor
at the late national meeting was in that
direction, while President Gompers and
other individual leaders have long ad.
vocated the most positive measures to
the end that ''pauper labor" may be kept
out of the country and from competing
with labor now employed. Outside of
labor organizations there is q large body
of intelligent people who regard the
coming of SO large a number of immi-
grants, SO ignorant and so untitled for
American civilization, with the deepest
anxiety. 1t is not because they are for
Igners, but because they bring with
them an ignorance that involves danger
to our institutions. 1t is evident that
Congress will be urged with more earn
estness han ever before to enact meas
ures Of increased stringency.
One of the causes which leads labor
associations to be so insistent is that
w%orkingmen in this country believe
that q checking of immigration will
enable them to maintain a higher grade
of wages than would be possible with
wider competition. In part this is true.
All e~mployments which, from their
nature, are confined to this country,
like the building trades, railroad en-
Payments and domestic labor of all
kinds, would. be relieved of the compe-
tltion which the importation of labor
must create. On the other hand, in all
those lines of manufacture in this coun-
try which come into competition with
those of Europe. the prohibition of i'm
migration would not prevent COMPETE
ton if the duties which are known as
protective should be taken from the
products. Ocean transportation is a
small item; therefore, if the duties be so
changed ON all products of iron, wood,
wool, etc, that they will not prevent
Importation in large quantities. the COM
petition Will 90 sharper tuan IL cOulO Do
made by the skilled laborer coming to
our shores under a protective tariff.
There is no possible organization of
labor which will enable it t. retain
wages in scores of industries at twice
the current rate in Europe. 1t might
fix rates and hours, but if this adjust
ment made the cost of goods higher
factories and workshops by the thou
sand. Either the competing labor in
this country would be forced to accept
nearly the same grade of wages as is
paid in Europe, or manufacturers would
be forced to close their mills and facto-
ries.

The throwing out of members of a
legislative body in order to give a party
a majority on joint ballot where aUnited
States Senator is to be elected is an out
rage which the good men in both parties
should denounce in unmeasured terms.
Either of the two parties which has OF
will control the country will yield to the
voice of the majority in a fair election
and sustain it's choice, but when legis-
lative bodies throw out members upon
mere pretexts to change results or de-
prive a majority of the right to elect a
Legislature by gerrymanders they put
popular government to a severe test. 1t
has been rumored that the fusionists in
the North Dakota Legislature would IN
seat enough Republican members of the
House to enable them to elect a United
States Senator. Let them go on, but
the Republicans of the Kansas Legisla-
ture should prove that the report that
they will resort to such a scheme is false.

SENATOR MORGAN, who is the first
Democrat on the Senate committee on
foreign affairs, and prospective chair
man of the committee, predicts a warm
and probably protracted controversy be-
tween the United States and France
relative to the maintenance of Amer
lean interests in connection with the
Panama railroad. He considers it en-
tirely out of the question that France
should be allowed to continue to con-
troll the road as she now does, and that
our national dignity, as well rs bust
ness interests, require that u rights in
the premises shall be asserted. 1t is
probable that President Harrison will
lay the whole subject before Congress in
his forthcoming message, but that he
will refrain from adopting any distinct
policy in regard to it during the remnant
of his administration.
