Too high praise can hardly be given
to the company of musicians. They
play well, their ms sic is new and at

obliging and and gentlemanly.
The minstrel show was divided into
three parts, the minstrel proper by Is
burnt cork artists, the olio. and a
funny after-piece burlesque of the
physical culture class. When the
curtain rose on the ..Colored 400'' il
revealed the circle of colored gentle
men attired in spotless white suits
with flashy colored vests and ties.
The end men and interlocutor wore
, full dress black suits.
The songs and choruses were of a
high order as minstrel songs 60 and
every number was warmly encored.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL VETOED nY
THE PRESIDENT.
In His MessaEe the President Says
That II Is Infinitely More safe tn
AdMil 1OO llltterate Immigrants
Than One lnruly AgitatOr Who
Can Read and Write-lllibcrAl.
Narrow and lname rican.

Washington. March 4.-The president
has sent to the house of representatives
II message vetOing the immigration
bill. In his message the president
quotes that section of the bill which re-
quires immigrants to bc able to read
and write the English or some other
language. and says:
a radical departure from our ma
ttOnal policy relating to immigration is
here presented. Heretofore we have
welcomed all who came to us from
other lands except those whose moral
or physical condition or history threat
ened danger to our national welfare
and safety. The best reason that
could be given for this radical restric.
ton of immigration is the necessity of
protecting our population against de-
generating and saving our national
peace and quiet from imported turbu-
lence and disorder. ! cannot believe
that We would be protected against
these evils by limiting immigration to
those who can read and write in any
language twenty-five words of our con-
stitution. In my opinion it is Infinitely
more safe to admit a hundred emil
grants. though unable to read and
write. who seek among us only a home
and opportunity to work than to adj
nit one of those unruly agitators and
enemies of governmental control who
cannot only read and write, but lie
lights in arousing Ivy infammatory
speech the illitcrate and peacefully ill.,
clined to disorder and tulnult. Violence
and disorder do not originate with H.
literate laborers. They are rather the
victims Of the educated latorcrs. Tile

ion. Il misleading test Of cOntentetl in
dustry and supplies unsatisfactory eY-
idencc of desirable citizenship Of n
proper apprehension of the benefits of
our institutions. If any particular ele-
ment of our illiterate immigration is to
be feared for other causes than litter
acy these causes should he dealt with
directly instead of making illiteracy
the pretext for exclusion to the detri-
ment of other illitcrate immigrants
whom the real cause of complaint
cannot he alleged. When we consider
these provisions Of tho hill III cOnnec-
tion with our long Northern frontier
and the boundaries of several of our
states, often but an imaginary line sep
arating them from the domini0ns. and
recall the friendly intercourse between
the people who are ncighbors OH either
side. the provisions of this bill affect
Ing them must be regarded as illiberal,
narrow and un-American.'
In conclusion the president says: "A
careful examination Of this bill has
convinced me that for the reasons Civ.
en-, and others not specifically stated
its provisions are unnecessarily harsh
and oppressive. and its defects in con
structiOn would cause yeXation and its
operation would result in harm to o,ll
citizens.
