THE STUMP IMMIGRATION BILL

b Representative Stump of Maryland.
chairman OF the house committee on
immigration, introduced a bill on this
subject, before the holiday recess, which
is said TO meet with the approval Of
many members of congress. Although
the senate and house committees have
been working together quite harmoni-
ously on this question, the Stump bill
differs materially from that of Chairman
Chandler. While Mr.. Chambers bill
proposes arbitrarily to prohibit all immi-
grafton to the United States from Europe
for year, cholera or no cholera, Mr..
Stump's bill proposes to subject immi-
grants to quarantine before embarka-
tion. and TO give the president power to
suspend immigration from any and all
ports, and for as long a period Of time
as he might choose.
In speaking of his bill Mr.. Stump
says its important feature is 1.-The large
discretionary power" which it proposes
to put in the hands of the president !;
and, it may be added, this is its most
Objectionable feature. While it is true
that the president might be
expected to exercise a wise dis
erection, the power to suspend transport
alton and intercourse with the res. of
the world at his arbitrary will should
not be given to any man, be he presi-
dent or potentate. Whatever may be
fixed by law with a reasonable degree
of certainty, should never be made
matter for the display of executive judg-
ment or caprice. The less the discretion
of an official, high or low, the better. Po-
litical conditions may be readily con-
ceived in which the power of the presi
dent might be perverted into weapon
for prohibiting immigration from any
country, by mere executive caprice,
upon almost any Dretense of public
safety" in the elastic phrase of this bill.

BATHING CAN BE OVERCOME.
Thousands of Delicate People said TO Die
Annually from Too Many Baths.

Cleanliness is a rather modern fad,
when you come to think over it, for it
Is only within the last thirty years that
bathrooms and tubs have become COM
mon. Very few of the better class
houses built previous TO 1860 had these
conveniences, but they have been very
generally added since.
You wonder how people get along az
all without them.
They didn't battle. Instead of daily
bath they took an occasional wash.
No, they were not dirtier then than
now. The fact is that people battle
snd scrub entirely too much. At least
some people do Thousands of deli
cate people are washed into the grave
annually. So are legions of babies.
Nature has provided certain health
full unguents for the skin, but your very
clean individual regards these as dirt,
and religiousIy scrubs them off once or
twice a day, which ia a mistake that
often costs him great deal in the way
of neuralgia, rheumatism or other
phases Of ill-health.
It is proper enough TO remove dust
and dirt from the body, brt this can be
done as well with n spon ge or cloth as
by soaking in a bath-tub. A hot bath

The report of the interstate commerce
commission shows that the chances of
passenger on a railroad journey being
killed are one in 100000. In round
figures the number of passengers carried
by the railroads of the country last year
was close up 10 6O0,0OO,O 900, and of these
about 800 were killed in accidents. No
wonder accident insurance is cheap, but
profitable. The figures rob travel by rail
of its horrors for the timid and for the
life and accident insurance companies.
