IMMIGRATION BILL.

Upon the matter of restricting immi.
 grafton to this country, @ bjsot fraugh'
 with deep interest to all classes, ths
 New York Mail and Express has the l following to say, relative to the bill in
 trodLced by Senator Lodge:
 "There is at least one measure de. ! signed for the general benefit ot the
 whole country that promises to receive
 the favorable consideration of the senate
 at this session. This is the immigration
 bill as prepared by MT. Lodge. The question of how to restrict immigration has been discussed in congress and ou, for years. A strong sentiment for radio.
 al restriction has arisen among labor
 organizations, and th,s has encouraged
 the growth of feeling akin to know
 nottingham. But the Lodge bill does rot cater to any violent anti foreign pre-.
 iudice. Its design is not to shut out that class of labor which will prove its value by developing the fields of the south and west. It seeke, by sn educs- tionslrequirement. to keep out ilIiteratee, of whom, statistics prove. only a small percentage go beyond the states along the Atlantic coast.
 The trouble with our immigration has for several years been that it is deolin- ing from the United Kingdom, the Scandinavian countries and Germany, and relatively increasing from Italy, Poland, Hungary and Bohemia. A large proportion of those who come from the latter countries are not only ignorant. thrittless and physically degenerate, but are imbued with doctrines of the most ultra socialism. It is honest labor, not fanatic and revolutionary theories. that America wants for it's development. There is no truth in the idea that our labor market can be overstocke6, so long as the tide of domestic industry is at its normal height and our capacity of home consumption of products is sustained by prosperity. There is ample room for the hardy toiler and his family in the fallow fields south of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi. Nor, as the recent election showed, does the country need to fear the effect of the ballot of this class of foreign born voters.
 The educational test proposed by Mir. Lodge is the best form of restriction yet The senate bill is most con- servative, and while it may not snswer the desire of some labor societies, it promises to lessen the influx of those Rhc swell the ranks of dis idlers Tn our eastern cities and s6d to the number of unemployed. The object to be attained is to lessen the percent tage of arrivals who remain in New York. and to increase the number of incomers to whom their port of disem is only way station on their journey to the interior. The Lodge bill differs materially from the measure " hich has passed the lower branch of congress; but it is to be hoped that it will receive the approval of the senate | and the concurrence of the house."

THE report of Comptroller EckeIs shows that during last year the business done through the banks was transacted with 92.5 per cent of checks and 75 per cent of actual money. In the country districts as we'll as in the large cities, the check system is generally employed, and comparatively little currency suffic- es for all business purposes. It is the qsality and rot the quantity of money that is of most importance under the present condition of civilization.

PRESIDENT Cleveland is open to critic ism in not finding a similar condition of inhumanity in Cuba that he discovered in Turkey. Why did he allow this diff ference to appear ID his message? Had he stated the situation in Cuba ss plain ly as he did that in Turkey, would Spain have had any more cause for anger or resentment than has Turkey? and yet Turkey is not expect. There is good deal to justify the belief that Spain knows Cleveland is her friend.

THE EASIEST rREACHERY.

It now seems we'll settled that Gsner- al Msceo is dead. He was foully and treRcherously murdered-ambushed by lot of Weyler's bloodthirsty assassine. Maceo's death was encompassed by hellish scheme, born of the ignoble treachery of Weyler. Weyler had be- come convinced that his generalship was no match for that of the brave Cuban commander, and in despair csll- ed together Dr. Zsrtucha and the Mar quis of Ahumada, to whom he unfolded the accursed scheme which was con- summated in Maceo's death.
 Weyier took the field and in his ab- seLce Ahumsds proposed through Ger tucha conference with M8ceo. to take place at certain province of Havana, with the view of arranging plans for the cessation of hostilities. The basis was to be Cubs's independence and a mon- tsry indemnity to Spain, together. with certain advantages that should be agre- ed upon for SpanisL commerce and Spanish capital invested there.
 To carry out the plan, the agreement was that orders should be gwen to the detachments of troops stationed on the trocha on the section between Mariel and Guansiayo to allow Maceo with his staff to pass the military line unmo- tested. Time was required to mature these arrangements, and to give them al the appearance of truth Ahumsda feigu- ed that before acting he must make them known to Weyler for previous sppro- val.
 This explains the sudden arrival in Havana and his prompt departure for Pinar del Rio.
 The conditions and place of meeting having been sgreedupon Maceo crossed the trocha over the road to Guansjayo, without being molested by the forts, but as soon as he arrived at the place de- cided upon he and his party were greet ed by 8 tremendous volley from the troops under Major Ciruieda, who lay conveniently in smbush. Most of the officers on his staff fell with Gen. Ma eco. Zertuchs is alive because be was aware of the scheme and remained in | the rear.
 The Spanisrds know where the bodies | are, but are bent on feigning ignorance to blot out the vestiges of the crime.
 Havana and all Spain are rereioicing be- cause, ID their stupidity, they hope the war may end with the death of this leader.
 But thir hopes in this direction are doomed. The spirit of the Cubsns has grown the more ardent and today they are resolved to make every sacrifice be- fore surrendering their arms to their relentless and tyrsnnical foes.
 The SpanIards may treacherously murder some of the patriots, but no earthly power can snnihilate the spirit of liberty flowing, now as ever over the Cuban people.
 There has never been a more diaboli- gal scheme planned in the .hishory of civilized warfare. The meanest savage has respect for the honor signi6ed by ] flag of truce, and Captain General Weyler should be brought to @ realizing sense of the fact that he is the most lamnable traitor; the most hideous apology for manhood; and the vilest blot which has ever defaced page of auman history. No nation on earth, which refuses to assist in his punish nent, should ever be free from the of Martyred Maceo's pitiful ,host.

TUCSON offers more inducements for the investment of capital than any other point in the south west. There is an almost unlimited demand for neat little four; five, and six-roomed cottages, with yards of their own and the homelike comforts of those in other cities. Such houses could be filled the year round with most desirea5le class of tenants, and the interest on the investment would be far greater than it sounds we'll to mention,

Nowadays when women are trying to do every thing it Is not strange that many things are overdone. It is not strange that there are all kinds Of physical and mental disturbances.
