THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION


The immigration laws of this country
have been more or less doctored, but
they are still far from satisfactory.
One reason for this has been the way
in which they have been administered
at those points where immigrants land,
and the opinion prevails in Europe, to
a more or less extent, even among the
better class of those who desire to come
to this country, that America does not
want any more immigrants. This is
come. intending to make their future
homes here, are welcome, for we do
not forget that our country has been
largely built up by immigrants from
other lands, and without them our
great railways and other public works
could not have been built.
Though this is all true, arestriction of
immigration was and still is necessary
to secure the exclusion of criminals,
paupers and illiterates of the old
world many OF whom have been
dumped on our shores with the conni-
vance of foreign governments that wish
to rid themselves of such undesirable
elements in their populations. IL has
been found a difficult task to discrimi-
nate between those whom we want and
those whom we do not want yet il
must be done, and it should be under
stood by undesirable foreigners that
they have no inherent right here, foI
this country has a perfect right to
choose whom it vii have.
It is to be hoped that this immigrant
problem will be settled by Congress al
the present session. The Lodge bill
now pending in the Senate. provides
that aliens seeking to land in this
country shall be excluded if, being over
fourteen years of age, they are unable
to read and write their native language
or the language Of some other coun-
try, and with the further provision that
this exclusion shall not, on the score OF
illiteracy, apply to the parent OF grand
parent of an admissible immigrant
This aims chiefly at illiteracy as it is
thought that our present laws largely
cover the other points.
1t is believed that this measure vii
operate mainly against Russians, Hun
garians and Portuguese, and will af
feet only in slight degree immigra
tion from Great Britain, Germany anC
Scandinavian, from which latter coun
tries our most desirable immigrant
come The Lodge bill provides way
and means for carrying the law into eff
feet and covers various points of de
tail that are defective in our presen
system, and it is probable it woul'
prove a blessing to the country

is another thing which Senator Pyle

for-driving this young yea verify"

tion through a glass. There is no tell

A SILVER WEDDING.

Last Saturday was the "silVe-
wedding" anniversary OF Rev. and
Mrs. ] Portmess, and they celebrat-
ed the day by giving an afternoon
entertaiefnent to a number of their
iuve1 friends, including Mrs.
Efsfess' Sunday School class and
y few of their little paymates, at the
Episcopal rectory.
The hours passed all too swiftly
for the little folks in merry games
of all kinds, which were most pleas
antly interrupted by the serving of
refreshments. These consisted ofall
sorts Of dainties, and it is needless
to add that they were enjoyed with
a zest which seldom rewards the en-
tertainer Of grown up" people.
Very probably there never was an
anniversary celebration more hearth
ly enjoyed than this 18th. anniver-
sary of the union Of the worthy rec
tor and his estimable wife. Their
youthful guests upon this happy &C.
casion will most heartily join their
older friends in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Portmess many happy
returns of tho day, hoping they may
assist in the celebration OF their
golden wedding.

THE YACHT REvA.

Galveston, Tex, 15.-The steam
yacht Reva, which Mr.. Joseph Lei
ter, the young Chicago millionaire,
had on his duck hunting and fishing
expedition down the coast and
which lost one of her propellers be-
tween Brazos Santiago and Tampico,
will be repaired on the way here
and will then be sent to New York
and turned over to her owner, Pierre
Lorillord. For a time it was unde-
cided whether the yacht would be
sent to New York in time to be re-
paired there or have the work done
here, but it was finally decided that
it would be cheaper and better to
do the work here.
Mr.. w. S. Carver, who remained
to look after the yacht, gave a de-
lightful dinner on board last night
to party of friends and made fine
upon all with whom he
came IN contract.-IIouston Post.
