the people who emigrate. Now she is
complaining that the Presidents health
proclamation interteres seriously with
this branch Of her export trade.
"The Italian authorities are greatly

Even little cholera would hardly bo
too high a price to pay for the boon OF
restricted immigration, especially of the

We don't need the people, they don't

On the subject OF an honest ballot

He suggests, as he did in his last mes
sage to Congress, the wisdom of such
constitutional changes as may be neces'
sary to secure the choice Of the officers
OF the government to the people by
fair apportionments and free elections. F"
In this message, from which ne quotes
in his letter, he said:
l believe it would be possible to con-
stitute commission non-partisen in its
membership and composed Of patriotic,
wise and impartial men, to whom q con-
sideration Of the questions Of the evils
connected with our election system and
methods might be committed with q
good prospect OF securing unanimity in
some plan Tor removing or mitigating
those. evils. The Constitution would
permit the selection OF the commission
to be vested in the supreme court, if
that method would give the best guar
antee OF impartiality. This commission
should be charged with the duty OF in
curing into the whole subject OF the
law Of elections as relates to the choice
of officers Of the national government,
with view to securing to every elector
a free and unmolesled exercise OF the
suffrage, and as near an approach to an
equality of value in each ballot cast as
is attainable.
We do not find in this anything
which threatens the liberties OF the
people, and it really disposes of the
"force bill" bugaboo in a very few
words. There are evils in the election
system as it is practiced in many Sec
tons Of the country, and these Presi-
dent Harrison would remedy through
the medium Of non-partisan commits
