IDlOTIC IMMIGRANTS.
Foreign Parents Must Not Bring Imbeciie
Children Into This Country.

Foreign Parents Must Not Bring Imbeciie
Children Into This Country.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Superintend-
ent Herman Stunt. with the approba-
ton of Secretary Carlisle, has made
new and important ruling, overturning
former practices us to the admission OF
idiot immigrants, when accompanied
by their parents. into the United States.
He holds that it was the intention OF
the act to make each class of debarred
immigrants separate and distinct. 1t
debars an idiot absolutely, and the fact
that the idiot might have a private for
tune or relatives amply able to provide
for his wants cannot be taken into con-
sideration any more than it can be taken
into consideration in an application to
take n person suffering from loathsome
or dangerous contagious disease. This
department is aware of the numerous
decisions previously made in similar
cases under the above act. and that 1t
has justified itself in so doing on ac-
count of the great hardship and suffer-
ing occasioned by the separation of an
unfortunate member of Il family from
those able and willing to support him.
From sympathy alone this department
has heretofore departed from the clear
reading of the law that existed prior to
the enactment of the act approved
March 5, 1898, and the department
might from similar reasons, follow
former precedents in extreme cases.
No ticket should have been sold to this
idiot. The family should have been
informed of the fact that prevented his
landing and they would never hav
undertaken the long journey. The de-
partment regrets that it has become an
imperative necessity to enforce the law
in this case.

decided upon at a special meeting OF

The price of admission on Sunday Is
to be so cents, the same as charged dur
ing the week. Sabbatarians are dis
armed of their most effective arguments
against seven-day fair by several
clauses in the rules adopted. One OF
these provides for holding religious
services ut the park each Sunday in
Choral and Festival halls. Eminent
preachers will be invited to conduct the
services.

Sherman as a Calamity Aowler.

Considering his large share of per-
sonal responsibility for the present
financial condition, Senator Sherman's
disposition to figure as calamity
howler lacks at least good taste. If
he cannot talk hopefully he had bet
ter not talk at all.
Mr.. Sherman has unique distinc-
ton among our public men as one
whose opinions have been generally
sound and his action and his vote
quite as frequently the reverse. When
his party had sound financial policy,
he had one when the party, or a con-
siderable portion of it, went wrong,
Sherman was on hand with one of the
crudest and worst bits of financial
legislation that have ever plagued us.
And now he is talking about the in
security of the Democratic policy.
Surely it is time for men of John
Shermans pretensions to statesman
ship 10 get out of their party bondage
at least long enough to rescue the
country from disaster, and especially
from the disaster which they them
selves have helped to bring up
on it. The one great obstacle to bust
ness confidence now is the doubt
not so much of what the dominant
party will undertake in the coming
Congress as of whether it will receive
loyal support from the minority.
If all the men who believe in a
sound currency would unite in reso-
luton that a sound currency must
and shall be secured, there would be
an end Of panic. 1t is mainly the
bowling Of Republican organs that
keeps up the present distrust, their
theory being that of the doctor who
liked to throw his patients into fits
that he might display his skill in cur
ing them. But Sherman has given
US such particularly bad case Of fits
that he should now be content to give
som one else a chance at honest
treatment
