Keeling to and fro, a silly leer upon
his face as he struggled unsteadily with
his feet to keep them under control, he
staggered on, while Capt. Cray, steady
enough on his legs, but wholly de

love song, beating time to the tune
with his drawn sword which he
fourished wildly in the air. When

reasons assigned for this are that the
national government is an ~indlspensa-
bic factor in every quarantine crisis,
and should therefore have complete
control; that its facilities for handling
the situation are incomparably better
than those of the State. and that it can
make effective use OF its consuls and
other foreign agents which the State
could not. In connection with the re-
port the committee submitted q letter
from the advisory committee of physi-
clans, signed by seven we!l-known
members of the profession. in which
they deprecate the present inefficient
management of the quarantine by local
authorities, and strongly recommend
that it be made national. They con-
clude by saying: "We wish to state
our conviction that it is of the utmost
Importance for the welfare of the coun-
try that such legislation shall be insti-
tuted as shall put an end to tho perpet-
ual menace of indiscriminate immigra-
tion." The sentiment of this last ex-
preston will be universally approved.
lndiscriminate immigration is a perpet-
ual menace in more senses than one. and
should be stopped.

policy of restricting immigration is con

purpose for Congress to pass the Chan

that European governments are con-

ences to which they would not submit

FAILURE OF THE SILVER CONFERENCE

The in ternational silver conference
will adjourn without coming to any con-
clusion relative to the wider use of sill
YER as money. 1t did not meet under
the favorable auspices which appeared
when it was called. The most unfavOr-
able change was in Great Britain. This
conference was proposed by this gov
eminent after Secretary Foster had had
an interview with the financial head of
the British government, Mr.. Goschen,
who is q bimetallist, in which the latter
held out fattering inducements which
would doubtless have been realized in
the conference if the Tory Ministry had
not been overthrow in the elections
last August and succeeded by the Lib
erals, who are welded to the single gold
standard. Consequently, instead of be-
ing represented in the conference by men
who were in sympathy with the re-
port of the royal commission favoring
a wider use of silver as money, Great
Britain sent delegates imbued with the
idea that the United States would as
susie the burden of free-silver coinage
N thus relieve that nation of any
STARE in the responsibility. That was
the most potent factor in the failure of
the conference. 1t is probable that the
meeting of the conference after the de-
feat of the administration which pro-
posed it detracted to some extent from
the influence of tho delegation from the
TTntraI Ckko. I,ksL1 c~l,-~ rk~- IL
is largely due to the attitude of the
British delegates. The British dele
gates and, indeed, all the European
delegates have labored under the i'm
preston that the American people are
in favor of the free coinage of silver
and will adopt it when it finds that
European nations will not assist
in the matter. They are unable
to clearly comprehend the situa-
ton in this country. They cannot
realize that such n change of sentiment
has taken place in the past year that in
a House which would have passed a
free-coinage bill by a large majority q
majority could not now be mustered for
it. They seem unable to realize that
President Harrison will be succeeded
by Mr.. Cleveland, who would veto a
free-coinage bill. The only policy for
the United States is to put itself upon
the same basis as Great Britain and
European governments by repeating
the Sherman act requiring the purchase
of 1000. 900 ounces a year. and prohibit
ing the further coinage of a legal-tcnder
silver.
