Education the Test of Immigration.

The immigration committees of the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives have both reported favorably a
bill to restrict immigration according
to an educational test. Both bill are
quite similar, and the reports unani-
nous; hence there seems to be fair
prospect of enacting such a measure
before the close of the present session.
The important clause in each bill pro
vides for the exclusion of call male
persons between I6 and 90 years OF
age, who cannot read and write the
English language or some other Ian
guage." While the measure is aimed
to protect the interests of labor, il
specially seeks to prevent the ingress
of illiteracy. The attempt to improve
the quality of citizenship, or to prevent
any accession of population that would
lower the present standard, is com.
mendable, and some advantage would
be gained by the passage of the bill.

question Of equal rights
The brethren have made for them
selves unenviable fame, and their atti-
tude toward women who are trying to
ameliorate the sorrows Of humanity will
not dare affirm, be quoted by their
descendants, but will be consigned by
them, and, let us hope, by the women
who will then be invested with all the
powers and dignities of citizenship in
church and state, to charitable obliv-
ion. do not say that these are not
good men, but they are certainly whim-
sioal and grotesque in their attitude to-
ward one of the greatest reforms Of
their time Nor will those other good
men who are doing their best to prevent
the admission of women to the counsels
Of different branches Of the church Of
Christ desire to have this fact empha-
sized when their post mortem eulogies
are written. 1t is the i'll fortune of some
men and women In every epoch Of ad-
vance to find their emblem in the bowl
der on the track rather than the arrowy
current Of the refreshing, forward rush
ing stream Of that public sentiment
which is the final factor in all those rev.
olutions by which humanity comes
nearer to good will and God. The sui
tau and the czar may order the words
liberty, equality, fraternity, " eliminat-
ed from all published documents with
in the area Of the autocracy they repre-
sent, but the fatuous prohibitions of
despots, whether on large or small
scale, are but another form of personal
death warrant autobiographically given.
Readers of Benjamin Kidd's "Social
Evolution must have been often struck
BY the phrase equality Of opportunity.
In these words is the quintessence Of q
high and noble socialism, for at the
bottom of all our social discomfort it Is
not quarrel with parentage, birth and
gifts OF nature that disturbs us, nor even
70 much with environments as with that
naladjustment of opportunity which we
feel instinctively is not natural, but
comes Of human meddling with nature
and utter disregard of God s place in the
world he has made.
And the present social perturbations
and scarcely suppressed upheavals-what
are they but attempts to bring about not
equality in wealth, equality in position,
but equality in opportunity for every
human creatureY The mode Of attempt
may not always be wise or we'll adapted
TO the end sought, but the end and aim
are good. 1t is this aim to secure equal
lty OF opportunity that has given such
Impetus to the cause Of public education
auring the last few years, for it recog-
nizes in all classes Of society that NJ

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
why Should Not All he Treated Alike Po
litically?

liticaily?
l believe that the ministers of the
United States have done more than any
pther one class to hasten the progress of
the woman movement. 1 know that
ntany Of our reformers hold a contrary
view, and perhaps I am not an impair
tial witness, as 1 come of long line Of
ministers and my only brother was a
member of that guild, but we must not
forget that the woman question can on
ly prosper in time Of peace, and that as
a class the Christian ministry has, more
than any other, proclaimed peace ON
earth and good will 10 men. The teach
iIlgs of the pulpit have inculcated those
principles under which women oan be
ooworkers with men in every line of
life. It Is only under the influence Of
the principles Of Christ that the inhab-
itants Of nation become sufficiently CO.
ordinated in their attitude toward gov
ernment and commerce, literature and
labor, art and life, to appreciate the
characters and qualities Of women as
ooworkers in all the enterprises by
which men forge forward toward better
conditions for themselves and families.
It is also true that ministers have been
q well nigh determining factor in the
boards Of trustees Of those higher edu-
oational institutions to which we have
been admitted, and without such edu-
cation we could never have held our
own in the comradeship Of good work
now so largely recognized among men
and women. All my life I have found
more encouragement and help from
Christian ministers than from any other
class Of men, and 1 believe that the ma
jority of our reformers would bear the
same testimony. As rule the pulpits Of
all churches, except those in which
sacerdotalism forbids, have been opened
to u.s. When Invent to the south, it was,
as rule, ministers and their wives who
formed the bone and sinew Of the early,
~ they do OF the later, temperance
movement, and as they do Of every other
reform, because they are the represent
atives Of the Divine Reformer.
These facts furnish background be-
fore which few ministers have dis
ported themselves in an unenviable
light-for instance, when an excellent
bishop says to class of 'sweet girl
graduates" that when women vote they
will sell their ballots as they now sell
themselves. When the gifted DR.. -
Of Georgia declares that "the woman
who rides the bicycle is the victim Of a

The dog was tired, dirty and hall

David Dundore opened the door.

When he saw the dog he exclaimed /:
" Bless us, it's Jerry"
"Jerry" was John Knapp's dog.
He went to Martinsburg, w. Va,

" Jerry" got tired of life in the Pan

THE MINE OWNERS PROFIT
AGAIN.

Bay Port. Mich, Sept. 20, 1896.
To the Railway Age
/ read with interest your answer to
j. Il. Dimond, who asked wherein the
mlne-owner would be benefited by free
coinage at 16 to / ratio, In the supple
ment Of September %. The answer was
good. but 10 the exactlng mind you did
not go far enough with your figures.
Your Illustration Is az follows: The
mine-owner employs 400 men at $3.50
per day on the present money basis
and pays for labor $1,000 a day or. in
round numbers, $4,000 per year, The
general expenses are s1OO. 900. OF a to-
tai expense Of $3.50, 900. The output be-
ing valued at $500. 900, leaves profit Of
5 1000, all Of which are worth 100 cents
each.
Under free coinage at the above ratio,
Mr.. Bryan tells us a dollar would be a
dollar. Accordingly the 400 men would
still receive $3.50 each per day. or $780,
900 for their labor, the same as. now,
but in 5O-cent dollars. AS supplies and
machinery would double, the mine
owner would pay 5000, 900 for general ex-
penses, or $3.50 900, total expense for
The year. The output being doubled be-
c-use u 30 cents worth Of silver being
stamped one dollar, would bring the
output to 81 900, 900 per year. The total
expense being $780, 900 per year Ind de-
Quoted from the output Of $1,000 900,
would leave profit OF $500 900, all Of
which would be 50-cent dollars.
Now the e%ye-opener comes. To find
the real gain in dollars Of 100 cents each,
divide the $45O,O 900 profit by 2 and 1t
leaves a gain Of 1925, 900, instead OF $780,
900 as now Now where Is this extra
Sl75, 900 made? Not on purchases Of
supplies, etc, as this account was dou-
bled-not on the output. So there GER
talnly can be no other place than on 400
employees; and this with no extra exer-
ton on the mine-owners' part, but sim
ply by an act Of congress. still the

preached him and asked him the cause
Of his perturbation. II transpired that
the man who was worried was a Pop

occupying the first floor, and a

Pile, is heated by hot water, and is

will be finished today. and the lower
room could be occupied at NICE for po-
litical meetings or similar events, Flee

secured what II has long needed-a
first class hall With large seating ca
racity for all kinds OF public enter
tainments, The rooms are so commo-
dious and well arranged that they would
accommodate a fair. or exposition, In
case Astoria should decide to hold a

commodious building in which to hold
such an exposition.
