AFTER PADRONE SYSTEM

While in New York They VIII Ma ke
This a Special Inyesti-
CATION.

The Immigration Committee of Congress
is now in New York conducting an in
yestigation at Ellis Island that will as
sist them in making a report for the
furtherance Of such legislation as may be
deemed OF necessity to 4 restriction of the
immigration regulations now in vogue in
this country.
Various remedies have been devised,
but none have so far secured final enact
ment This visit OF the committee 10 Ell
lis Island, which is termed dumping
ground for European refuse of humanity,
is thought viii secure carly legislation on
this matter.
There are many Irregularities needing
measures 10 their abolition. An idea OF
the Italian padrone system is here sub
Joined, which was secured by Times
representative from various sources, which
is one OF the many serious evils now per
mitted calling for more stringent laws.
Padroni, in the fist place, is the plural
OF the word padrone, meaning taXmaster
or Shareholder. As popularly applied in
America il means the men at the head
of hands of imported Italians, men, women
and children, who are practically owners
of these slaves, and TO all intents and
purposes they are slaves. For many years
4 The word has been commonly used, with
out its full significance being understood.
Padroni import laborers under contract,
/ openly violating the labor contract law.
When these laborcrs are imported they be
come and remain slaves, actually.
Mr. Moreno, who has for many years been
| n conSpicuouS defender of the unfortunate
ones who are held III slavery by the padroni,
said last night:
The greedy and unscmpulous Italian
padroni, theiracconplices and go-betweens,
are TO the Italian lahorcrs as homo hoinini
lupus without renlorsc and without mercy,
| and this sad spectacle has been before the
eyes Of the American people ever since it
began in 1871. Ii could not have assumed
such vast proportions without having some

When bands OF these laborcrs begin work
| for the padroni coming green and ignorant
| from their foreign homes. they are bound
| in conipacts from which they can scarcely
| become free. They are contracted 10 work
at so much a day each and 90 not get
the full rate OF their days labor, great
portion OF il going 10 the padroni, and this
is the way be grows rich and powerful, by
absorbing part of the wage of each one
OF vast gangs of workmen. Fourumes has
! the matter been tried 10 be corrected in
both the Italian Parliament and in the
United States Congress, but with no avail"

cause their husbands have "lost
their health ,"
A mans health is All easy thing
to lose. A little care and the right
medicine make it easy to regain
lost health. Neglected disease
breeds death. Over work, expos
ure, wrong eating, wrong living
generally may engender disease.
Symptoms vary, but by far the
majority of diseases are marked by
a loss of vitality, a wasting of
flesh. The lungs and the stomach
suffer. Disease germs enter the
system through these two Or
gans.
Recovery means driving out the
germs and building up strong,
healthy tissues. The medicine that
will do it quickest ard most thor
oughly is the medicine to take.
That medicine is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
searches out disease germs wher-
ever they exist and exterminates
them. 1t is a powerful, invigorat-
ing tonic 1t promotes digestion,
creates appetite, cures biliousness
and all liver, kidney and stomach
disorders, and so all blood dis
Eases. All medicine dealers.

as there is in poison.-Love for God
takes in everybody else.-Too many
people make the mistake Of belonging
to church without belonging to Christ.
The devil makes every string pull to-

tics.-Any kind of a sinner can be
saved to-day who will quit his mean

pect every church member to be per-

God can begin right away.-Whatever

days of December. He was without an
overcoat. after the manner of Hannibal
Hamlin, which was very injudicious, for
the weather was Indictment. The brown
frock was wide open In front. Possibly
it was little too tight to button then.
In Indiana Mr.. English was thought
a rich man. He left an estate worth
three millions, half of which goes to his
son. 1t is of fifty years growth and be-
gan with the annexation OF Texas. Mr..
English was then % years old and
clerking In a department at Washing
ton. He was richer in character than
in purse, and had his reputation at his
home not been Of the very best. that
floodtide in affairs that Shakespeare
sings OF would probably have dashed
past him and been lost forever. He had
some money at Lexington, his native
town. and had saved all possible from
his salary of two years-for Mr.. English
was born saver, though not then domi-
mated by his genius for acquisition. The
bonds OF the Texan Republic were at
very low price-not above seven or
eight cents. Jesse ID. Bright, who an
ticipated Texas becoming a state, was
friend 10 young English and told him
that he might lay the basis of fortune.
II he had ambition that way, by buying
Texas bonds. But mind" said Mr.
Bright by way OF caution. this is only
my opinion. You must not hold me en-
tireIy responsible IL annexation fails"
Young English asked that the situation
be more fully explained, which was
done. He was then prepared for the
consequence OF his own acts. Here was
Clearly his opportunity. He got leave

went back home. There he drew on the
town for all the money he could borrow
But the town was poor. One OF the rich
est men in II was a merchant who had
made a snug sum by swapping prints
for produce, and who liked Bill English
He was asked for a liberal loan. He
wanted time to consider. But time was
money then or nothing. No golden
dream had ever suggested to him a
speculation in bonds, but on English's
assurance he shelled out thousand or
so. He knew that, make or break. IL
would be returned to him. That was in
1s45. English went back to Washing
ton and put every dollar he had in
Texas bonds. The Lone Star Joined the
constellation. the bonds went to par.
and Mr.. English made his pile. Like
the peach, 1t grew, and II grew. and II
grew. But some of II returned to the
old merchant at Lexington. Enterprise
had pushed him TO the wall. he had
made other loans that were lost. and the
bank that held his money collapsed in
a panic. He lived four years, surviving
his wife six months. without shelter
or table of his own, and during all
this time Mr.. English cheerfully sup
piled him with both.
This was but one or the millionaire's
kindnesses that the world knew nothing
OF. He despised ostentation In charity,
yet was greedy OF fame. When Chicago
burned down Mr. English gave thou
sand dollars to the relief Of It's people,
though IL is believed he gave only ten.
He wrote his name on a subscription
paper for q round thousand. Though
carelessness or inattention he put the
last two ciphers in the cents column, or
at least too far to the right to be in line
with the dollars. The subscription list
was given to one of the newspapers with
directions that proof-sheets be sent TO
the others. There were no subscriptions
below dollar, and only few to which
cents were attached So the editor ELI
minated the cents column, printing only
the amounts in dollars, and away went

He doubtless found good company IN
himself, for he was the sole counsellor
of his own acts. Had he been less Sc
cluded he might have lived longer. He
lodged and ate at hotel on the Circle
which he owned. 1t was there he fell
sick, and there few weeks later he
died. To an old man who has known
the minute attentions Of home. sickness
and death at hotel are not ideal reali-
cations. When Mr.. English's illness
was incipient he INDUCED the delusion
of robust men that IL was a trife,
though warned not to do so. His only
daughter lived but couple hundred
miles away at Chicago. though she was
not sent for until her fathers condition,
l believe, was critical. Mr.. English had
ample fortune, of course, to keep man
sion and pay servants to wait upon him,
but the ease and comfort of such life
were never a part of his calculations.
Economy seemed TO have grown into a
passion with him, and perhaps he prac-
ticed 1t to extremity. 1 don't know.

through subterranean passage. 1t
