AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO RE-
 STRICT IMMIGRATION.

It is interesting to note the strong reaction that has been loading the emigrant ships with strange companies of people who have failed to gain an industrial footing in America and are returning to central and eastern Europe. It would be goood policy to aid this turn of the tide by every legitimate means. Fortunately the eRst-bound immigrant rates this season are extreme ly low We have been compelled to support hundreds of thousand of these people by charity during the past. winter and the cheapest as well as the wisest form of expenditure lr theIr behalf would be to buy their return tickete ana send them back where they belong
 This temporary reversal of the current of migration affords the natural and safe opportunity for congress to enact 6 law severely resticticting immigration for period of years. It would be the most popular law ever placed on our statute books since the foundation of the American Republic. It could be enacted just now with a minimum of harpship to any interest. When the times improve and the European popul- stion surplus begins once more to seek less crowded quarters, the sign of "No More Vacant Seats" on the door of our American omnibus would simply give Australia, South Africa, and South America the better chance to advertise their comparative emptiness and their great resources and attractions. All the most deperable and most dangerous features of the recent labor troubles, whether those of the bituminous coal
 trikes or those of the riots accompany ing the railway strikes. were clearly due to the fact of a vast over-supply of recently imported and not yet assimi- lated working population from the non- English-speaking countries of central and eastern Europe. The restriction of immigration should have been accoplis- shed ten years ago. It is no longer a delicate question open to argument, but an imperative duty demanding prompt action.-From "The Progress of the World" August Review of Reviews.

THE following ringing silver plank was adopted by the Michigan repu oil, cans in their state convention held July 31.
 "We believe in the use of gold and silver as money metals, to be maintain ed in circulation on a perfect equality and interconvertibility. We recognize the socalIed silver question as one of the paramount issues of the day, and believe the people of this state can and do look to the republican party as the only party that can give wise and adequate Fo'u- ton of the problem. We, therefnre pledge the republican party of Michigan to use every effort in its power to res; ore silver to its historic position Tn the United States as a money metal. We pledge this in the belief that permanent prosperity will not be assured or ju tee done until silver takes its place by the side of gold as one of the two great money metals of the world"

REPRESENTATIVE BoEN's bill to Gbol- ish national banks and to compel the secretary of the treasury to withdraw all government funds on deposit with banks and keep them in the treasury is another buncombe measure, only intend ed to get populist votes in the close seventh Minnesota district, which Boen nisrepresents by grace of a populist plurality of few more than @ hundred in total vote of thirty-five thousand. Even populist ought to be able. to un- derstand that the enactment of such a bill into law would bring on a worse panic than MT. Oleveland's "object les son" of last year. The national banking system may not be perfect, but it is the best the country ever had, and to abol- ish it without providing something to take its place would paralyzs the busi- ness and commerce of the country.

THE commission representing the ex- queen Of Hawaii, which is now in Wash ingtou for the purpose of persuading the administration not to recognize the republic of Hawaii, is on fools errand. The matter is out of the hands of the administration, and there is little doubt but that congress will adopt the Boutelle resolution, directing the president to formally recognize the new government of Hawaii and extend to it the good wishes of congress, which was delayed in the house by ruling of Speaker Crisp.

Evidence Before the Strike Inves-
tigation Commission,
TESTIMONY OF A sEAMsTRBss.

Reductions Came So Frequently That he
fore the strike the Poorer Workers
Earned but FIFTY Cents a Day-The Re
duotions in other Departments.

president Of the Girls union at Pullman,
testified that her father had been in the
employ of the Pullman company for fif-
teen years until shortly before his death
last year At the time of his death he
was delinquent in his rent to the amount
of $50 The company compelled her to as
sumo the debt and sign a contract to pay
1t out of her wages at the rate OF So a
week. Some weeks she had 40 little left
from her wages that she could not pay
board. In 1898 the poorest seamstress
earned ST. 50 a day Before the strike the
best Of them had got down to seventy and
sixty cents a day. while the poorer needle
women could make only forty to fifty
cents
Theodore Rhode, representing the paint
ers' department, said he had worked for
the company twelve years, and had been
gradually cut down until he could not
make 1928 day. The foremen abused
the men, and the management expert
mented with the materials until piece
workers could make nothing He had not
applied for work since the strike because
the company compelled every man to sur
render his card Of membership in the Rail
way union and sign an agreement to have
nothing to do with any labor organization
for five years.
X. w. Combes, of the freight car shops,
( had been in the employ of the company
for ten years. Where men in that de
partment were able to earn 81. 25 a day,
piece work, they were not able to make
more than sixty-eight cents a day in

there had been no reductions, but in No
vember of 1898 came cut that made &
difference of s. in freight car, and Sc OF
| this fell on the car carpenter. The wit
ness said he had $3.50 left from his Feb
ruary wages after he had paid his rent
and with the $3.50 he was expected to sup
port wife and two children. After hear
| ing the evidence of Combes the commits
