aliens between the ages of Is and
so Except parents of persons
living in this country who can
not both read and write English
or some other language.
This bill, if it becomes a law,
will exclude a large portion of
the most undesirable immigra-
ton that comes to our shores.
Immigration from Great Britain,
Ireland, Germany and Scandin-
avian countries. would not be
materially affected by this mea-
sure, but the human tide from
Italy and Hungary would be
greatly checked.
1t has been several years since
an educational test was proposed
for immigrants, and the idea has
gained favor very rapidly. There
is no doubt that the bill which
has passed the house by s1ch an
overwhelming vote meets the
hearty approval of a majority of
this country. The senate should
pass it at once.

A PREVENTIVE OF PROsPERITY.

The Lawrenceville News says:
mo sensible and well>intorm-
ed person believes that this gov
eminent will provide for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
while all the civilized nations of
the world continue to keep their
minis closed against it, but capt
tai is timid and easily run out of
circulation by unwise and vision
airy financial schemes, which
appear to find strong indorse-
ment among the people; and until
the agitation in favor of such
measures so far dies out as to re-
store public confidence in the
soundpess and stability of our
money system. hundreds of mil
lions of capital will be kept
locked up, and stagnation in all
lines of business will continue"
AS the Atlanta Jcurna! says,
the News has sized up the situa-
ton. It makes no difference
what party may commit itself to
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver or whether the free silver
men in all the present parties
shall combine and make a party
of their own, every well informed
person knows that the country
is against free coinage and that
there is no prospect of it's adop>
ton.
Still the agitation Of this ques-
ton is enough to affect the prov
erbial timidity of capital and to
prevent the undertaking of many
great enterprises. We have no
doubt that the result of the
presidential election will be so
decisive as to bury free silverism
and restore confidence.
