eral approval, even admiration here, ana
arouses some feeling OF envy that American law
enables the government to take such prompt
and thorough steps to stop the importation OF
cholera. The British government in coping
with the immigrants at Gravesend and else

ask parliament to pass q restrictive act legal
izing what they want 1t is feared one result of
President Harrisons measure will be to stop the
stream of alien immigration to America. and

In the meantime cholera Ia Great Britain
