SAN FRANCISCO AND FRESNO.

The excursion of San Francisco mer-
chants to Fresno is to be something more
than pleasure trip, though the pleasure
which they will derive from the hospitality
of Fresno and from the delights of the
citrus fair will be great. 1t will be an
evidence of the interest which the pro-
gressive men of San francisco take in the
work of progressive men in other parts Of
the State, and will tend not only to a
better feeling between the City and the
interior, but to the development OF busi-
ness relations.
The council of associated industries in
adopting resolutions accepting the invi-
tation TO visit the fair expressed the gen.
eraI sentiment in declaring 1--WE believe
that ell opportunities should be improved
to stimulate and encourages the better
feeling and more cordial relations between
the people of the interior and those of the
metropolis and that closer intermingling
is calculated to.promote this result
The fair at Fresno is in every respect an
important accom- plishment for the whole
State as well as for the San Joaquin. 1t
has made evident the iact that Fresno Is
something more than the center of a
raisin prod ucing country. 1t has shown
10 the world that the great San Joaquin
Valley is a region of the most diversified
resources and produces in abundance a
large variety Of the finest fruits, grains
wines, vegetables and woods known to
commerce.
San Francisco, as the metropolis of
California, is charged with the RESPONSE
bility of making these products known
abroad, and her merchants work for her
own interests as well as for the interests
of Fresno and the interior when they
take steps to acquaint themselves with
the productions of the San Joaquin in or
der that they may more effectually find
markets for them in the East and in Eu-
rope,
The business men of Fresno have
worked hard to make the fair notable
success and have achieved triumph they
may well be proud of. All reports show
that the extent and the variety of the ex-
hibits has been surprise to many people
in Fresno itself. Certainly there are
thousands Of Californians in other por-
tions OF the State who did not know how
great is the wealth-producing capability
of the San Joaquin. They have now had
an object-Iesson which convinces even the
N ost skeptical of the vast resources of our
great interior valley and its surrounding
foothills. 1t is gratifying to know that
the merchants of San Francisco will be
among those who see this object-lesson
and study it with care. The trip to Fresno
is holiday full of business possibilities,
and there can be little doubt that many of
these will be realized in the near future.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The immigration bill passed by the SEN
ate, while not as stringent as was desired
by considera5 BILE class of people, is yet in
it's main lines in accordance with the pre-
vailing sentiment on the subject. 1t has
been the general desire that in imposing
further restrictions upon immigration to
this country, the fundamental principle
should be that of excluding the ignorant
by requiring of every immigrant an edu-
cational test and this is the main object of
the bill.
The proposed law provides that in addi-
ton 10 all persons excluded under the re-
strictions of the existing act there shall
be barred from admission to the United
States all persons over l6 years of age who
cannot read and write the language of
their native country or some other lam
guage. 1t is permissible, however, for an
admissible immigrant over 16 to bring
with him or send for his wife, parents or
children. ithstanding their inability
to read and write. A further provision of
the act exempts from its operation all per-
sons arriving in the United States from
orders there, provided such persons have
been hapitants OF the island.
The demand for an educational test for
the adj ission ofimmigrants to the United
States is we'll founded. For long time
the bulk of foreign immigration to this
country came from Great Britain, France,
Germany and Scandinavia. and the ma
iority of persons included in that immi-
grafton were fairly well educated and well
fitted for American citizenship. In recent
years, however. there has been a great
change in this respect. The bulk of our
immigration OF late has been from South
ern and Eastern Europe and has been
largely composed of persons too ignorant
to understand our system of government
or to become good citizens.
During the fiscal year ending last June
the number of immigrants from Great
Britain, France, Germany and Scandina-
via amounted to about 132, 900. while that
from Southern and Eastern Europe was
1884, 600. Among the Italians over IA years
of age IS per cent were illiterate, among
the Russians Al per cent. and among

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Joseph Craig, who used to practice law in
Yolo County, but who for four years past has
been proprietor of the hotel at Highland
Springs, Lake County, has been in town for
the last day or two and is at the Grand.
Mr.. Craig says there have been a great many
tourists at the springs this year. The main
hotel was enlarged by front of an additional
$50 feet, but that is not enough. 1t is the pur-
pose to add forty or fifty rooms for next season.
'I do not suppose there is another country
in the world or place of equal size that has
such wonderful number OF springs" said Mr..
Craig, 'as Lake County. Everything that call
be thought of is there. Then great many of
these springs are giving off gas all the time, SO
that the air is about as good as the water for
health.

thirty different springs there with water
from 80 down. Almost any kind of water

1t Is also to be noted that comparatively
few among those from the south and east
Of Europe had any skill in any kind of
;rade.
The results of this immigration of
ignorant and unskilled labor is to
be found in the slums of our great
cities. According to report of the
Commissioner of Labor, made IN 1894,
lii Baltimore II per cent of the total
population in the slums was of foreign
birth or parentage; in Chicago, 80 per
cent; in Philadelphia, 81 per cent, and in
New York So per cent. in Baltimore, out
OF every 100 aliens in the sums 40 were
illiterate; in Chicago, At; in New York,
SO, and in Philadelphia, 81; and out OF
every 100 of these illiterate aliens 67
were OF voting age in Baltimore,a77 in
Chicago, 7S III New York and 85 in Phila-
delphia.
The prompt passage of the new restric-
ton act Is the more important because
the tide OF ofimmigration to this country,
which had fallen off during the years OF
depression, has begun to flow in upon us
again with something like its old force.
With the revival of industry and the COM
ing OF better times, there will be large
increase in immigration if it were not IN
some measure excluded. This will be
done by the educational test pro-
posed by the act. When we shut
out all who cannot read and write we will
bar large majority OF those who come to
US from coup tries where la bor has been
degraded to condition that renders their
people untitled for American citizenship
and unfair competitors with American

general wear. The mixed cheviots, cashmere
and homes puns make up well, and for best
suits the same style is followed, though the
fabric is usually smooth-faced cloth or dark

The coat buttons moderately high, and
the sleeves should be finished with two or
three buttons at the cuff. Boys coats are
easier to make than many mothers imagine,
if the cloth is not too heavy. The pressing
