OF Septe m ber last l approved regulations
establishing twenty day quarantine
for oil vessels bringing immigrants feom
foreign ports. This order will be c,n-
tlnued IN force. Thtre is danger that
with the coming of spring cholera will
> again appear, and liberal appropriations
should be made at this session to en-
able our quarantine and port c(lioials to
exclude the deadly plague We are PEE
culiarly subject in our great ports TO the
spread of infectious diseases by re ,son
OF the fact that unrestricted i'm nig.a-
tion brings to us out of European cities
IN the overctowded steerages OF great
steamships large number of persons
whose surroundings make them easy
victims of plague.
Il RESTRICT IMMIGRATION
This consideration. as we'll as those
affecting the political, moral and indus
trial interests of our oouutry. leads me to
renew the suggestion that admission to
our country and to the high privileges
of its citizenship should b. more re-
stricted an more careful. We have, 1
think, night and owe duty to our
own people. and especially to our work
ing people. not only t. keep out
the vicious, ignorant, civil disturbers,
pauper and contract laborer, but to
check the too great flow of immigration
now coming by further limitations.
PROTECT RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.
In renewing recommendations whic...
have madein three preceding annual
messages. that congress should legislate
for the protection Of railroad employees
against dangers incident to old and in
ade quate methods of bruking and COUP
ling, whioh nre still in use upon freight
business, do so with the hope thas this
congress may take action on the sub
jsct.
TIE FORCE BILL
He then takes up the question of the
EVIL and dangers connected with our
election method practices as they are
rel .ted to the choice OF eff ,ers of the
nationa, government" dealing with it
in about the same strain as in his previ-
ous messages. He closes the paragraph
relating to the lynoaing Of oolored peo.
pie as follows: "No lesson needs to be
30 urgently impressed upon our people
as this, that no worthy eud Or cause can
be promoted 10y lawlessness -
