All the political trouble liz the south was
caused by the northern republican party.
The republicans can best repair the
wrongs they have committed by letting
the southern people settle their own af-

shutting Out Degraded People.

The Lodge immigration bill was report
ed to the House yesterday from the Sem
ate. There is not much doubt that 1t will
be promptly passed by that body. it being
a House bin amended in the Senate. The
amendment however. is the feature of the
bill, and having been proposed by Senator
Lodge, the bill takes the name of the SEN
ator.
The bill provides an educational test for
immigrants 1t requires that all male inn
migrants arriving in this country over 16
years of age, shall be able to read and
write. An inspector is to go among the
immigrants when they arrive and distri-
butte slips Of paper containing sections of
the United States constitution. The i'm
migrants are to be given the privilege Of
being examined in any language they may
select. They must read and copy the
printed slips. If they do this satisfactorily
they are to be passed. If they fail to either
read or copy the slips permission to land
will be refused them. The steamship COM
pany that brought them must carry back
those who cannot pass the test to the port
from which it carried them. 1t will be to
the interest of the steamship companies
therefore 10 be sure that immigrants can
read and write before sailing for this coun-
try.
The test is not very severe one, but ii
will keep thousands of degraded people
away from our shores There are other
laws which shut out paupers, criminals
and insane people.
In recent years we have been getting al
together too many undesirable immi-
grants. The outcry against them has been
great. 1t is TO be hoped the Lodge bill
will be passed and that its effect will be
as beneficial as it is expected to be.
1t occurs to a Missouri congressman that
MIR. Cleveland four years ago was elected
on the tariff issue, but soon after being
inaugurated, called a special session of
congress to deal with the money question;
while Mai. Mckinley. who was elected on
the money issue, is 10 call an extra session
to deal with the tariff. Now what infer
ences are to be drawn from the PARALLEL"
asks the springeld (Mass) Republican.
one inference is that the tariff will be the
issue in the next presidential campaign.
Whether that is correct, however, remains
to be seen. What will be seen depends
upon the action of the Mckinley admins

10 THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-I
noted and read with q great deal of
pleasure your editorial in THE TIMES OF
the 1Osh instant In reference to the
telephone rates. You ore right in stat.
Ing that Roanoke should have lows-
rates, anu you do not put the rental per
year at figure any too low. Ofcourse
there could be no ques ton in the minds
OF anyone that IL telephone could be
rented for 81 per month, that the com
pany now holding the right to operate
in this CITY would in less thnn three
months have certainly l, 500 subscribers
instead OF the small number they now
have on their list. Certainly two out of
every three tenants Ia Roanoke would
gladly pay 81 per month for the use of
that great convenience, the telephone.
The great increase in the number of
patrons would in the first three months
more than pay the cost of instntation of
the additional phones. 1t Is also a fact
that people who own their houses
would be very glad to pay 81 a month
Tor the privilege Of having phones. II
Lynohourg can support telephone
company OF rental OF Sl2 per year per
t 'phone. there can be no reason advanced
why Roanoke could not do the same
thing: with the streets of the CITY
already pretty we'll supplied with the neo
essary wiresShe cost of supplying phones
to additional Subscribers would not be
large. In six months time the telephone
company would be thanking THE TIMES
for forcing cheaper rates, for the addi-
tlonal revenue from new Subscribers
would be very gratifying to the holders
OF the telephone stock. Keep up the
rood work. 'PHoNr oooo

HAVANA, March 10 -Oaptain- General
Weyler has Issued another prociama-
ton, the terms of which indicate o pur-
pose to still further soften the severity
of the proclamations he issued soon

edict provides that all persons captured
up to date In the provinces Of Havana
and Pinar del Rio who are suspected of
having been members of a rebel band,
should they OF their own free will deny
that they belonged to such band, will
be liberated In every case, provided they
give their promise before two witnesses
to be loyal to the Spanish cause, and
provided also that no one appears
against ,hem to offer charges of any
other crimes.
To this end instructions are given to
judges that they shall record in the files
personal description of those against
whom proceedings shall have been
taken, and shall then ask for the release
OF those coming within the above men,
toned provisions as being discharged Of
the crime of rebellion, but they shall re-
main subject to the vigilant surveillance
OF the authoritieg.
The same proceedings will be adopted
with regard to those who are ares ted
and those who are not accused of com
mon crimes. The above proclamation
