Speaker Crisp thus briefly and point
edly cuts the whole Democratic argu-
ment on the immigration question
"0ur aim. should be to shut ont un-
desirable immigrants, but not to cut
off the others" The object of the bill
to prohibit immigration for an entire
year is to cut off ;" the others" under
the pretext of cholera.
AS measure Of quarantine against
the danger Of cholera the provisions Of
this bill would be alike inadequate and
unwise. But as aAviolation sof the lib
eral policy of this Government toward
immigrants, and as means of arrest
ing the country's development, the bill
is the most vicious and truculent
scheme of Natiyism ever devised. Its
authors and advocates Hardly make a
pretense of their parHso seate make the
prohibition of immigration from Eu-
rope "a political ISSUE Of the future.
If the germ Of cholera in one or two
European cities have not afforded them
a pretext for inangnrating a new cam.
paign of Nativism they would have
easily found other and more potent
means Of appeal to fear and prejudice
against foreigners. They confess that
they would not be content with years
embargo upon immigration Should
they obtain so monstrous concession
to the spirit Of Natiyism their next de-
mand would be to make the embargo

Indignant Over the Use Of Mrs,

CHICAGO, Dec 80 Chicago society Is

portrait Of the presidenf.of the board
Of lady managers, the leading star in
Chicago's social world. The portrait
was used without Mrs. Palmer's con-
sent and without her knowledge.

the picture used, and I'm sure my wife
did not" said Mr.. Palmer. "F1l enjoin
every party to the transaction IL they
do not put q stop to the issuance Of
those calendars"
"But the photographers who printed
the calendars for the brewery say that
they have used the pictures OF the
president, vice-president, Mrs Cleve-
land and others, and that they do not
think you can do anything about the
use Of Mrs. Palmer's picture" :
Cant I? We will see about that.
shall consult my lawyer Mt once.
Mrs. Palmer was much surprised
when shown the picture Of herself in
the calendar. She replied most EN-
phatically: II never gave my consent
to have that picture used. Well, this is
charming, I must say. And to think
that brewery should use my picture
on its 'ad. ! have refused to give my
.name;s picture or autograph to young
women making collections, and | would
be the last TO afford n brewery an OPP
portunity to take snen an unwarrant-
able liberty with my picture"
The president OF the brewing com
pany that issued the calendar says that
in the old country, pictures Of the roy
atty are to be found upon the packages
of beer. They think nothing Of 1t as,
long as the article is good
I'VE certainly make good brand Of
beer" said he, 'and there should be no
objection. A young man representing
lithographing Arm solicited our order
for some of these calendars, and de-
scribed one on which would appear
Mrs. Palmer's picture and cut
of the woman's building. asked him
II he had Mrs. Palmer's permission to
print her picture. and he took from his
pocket photograph of Mrs Palmer,
and remarked that member OF the
lithographing firm was an old school
mate Of Mr.. Palmer's and had obtained
permission to use. her picture. The
calendars struck me as being unique
