TURNER'S FAVOR IMMIGRATION

For some time past, two or three
years, there has been more or less
anti-immigration agitation throughout
the country, but now there is growing
up a sentiment in favor of immigration.
Only a few days since q gathering of
representatives of labor organizations
at ST. Louis declared in favor of immi-
grafton. Now the Turner's association
of Allegheny, Pa, has started a move
ment to vigorously oppose any further
restriction of immigration to the
United States.
A circular has been printed that is to
be sent to every German-American as
ISOLATION in Allegheny county. After
they shall have been duly signed by
the president and secretary of each as
ISOLATION they are to be forwarded to
the congressman from the vicinity and
to the senators from Pennsylvania.
In the circular it is stated, accord
ing to Pittsburg papers, that the i'm
migration laws now in force viii meet
all demands. The Lodge bill is OPP
posed, the apparent aim of which, says
the circular, is an educational test, but
which is designed, in reality, to keep
from our shores a class of men in
offensive and willing to work, and to
separate in a cruel manner the men,
bers of the same family. 1t is further
stated that this country requires a
greater number of consumers if it is
TO recover from the consequences of
the recent commercial crisis. The i'm
migrants, the circular says, are to be
looked upon as consumers, and are to
be regarded from an economic view as
very important factor. The great
! expanse of unoccupied land in the west
is cited as room for millions. The
circular closes with a statement made
by President Eliot, of Harvard, that
every healthy and honorable man and
every woman of like character who
immigrates to this country will eventu-
ally become a valuable acquisition to
the wealth and prosperity of the
United States.
This circular takes a very conserya-
tive position, one that has much merit
in ii. This country still has need OF i'm
migrants, immigrants of the class
described by President Eliot. A too
great restriction of immigration by
means of an educational test would
most likely have the partial effect to
admit a really undesirable class and
keep out a desirable one. AS this
Turner's circular says, the present i'm
migration laws will meet all demands
if they are honestly and faithfully
executed. No matter what test for
immigrants may be framed there will
always be those who will pass it that it
is really desirable to keep out. and
some whom it is desirable to have
come in, out.

THE SOLDIER FRRcAsEs.

The frequency with which the
soldiers from Fort Douglas are getting
into serious and fatal trays of late
has caused a good deal of comment.
Only yesterday we heard a leading
business man say he thought it would
be a good thing to have a monster
petition gotten up asking for the re-
moyal of the colored troops from Fort
Douglas. There is not the remotest
likelihood of any such petition being
gotten up; and even if it were, it would
in all probability have little or no
weight with the war department
OF the colored soldiers now here it
can be said that on the streets and on
the street cars they conduct themselves
as well as any troops that were ever
at the fort, and far better than some
who have been stationed there. The
disrepute that they have come into
has been the result of resortipg to low
dives by some of the men. Their
presence near the city has no doubt
increased the number of these dives,
many of the inmates probably came
as camp followers. What is the effect
of the frequenting OF these places by
some of the soldiers? Numerous dis
graceful quarrals, some ending fatally,
and the destroying of the good name
the regiment established the first year
it was at Douglas.
1t is very easy to see the evils, but
most difficult TO find a remedy for
them. One thing that would have a
tendency to lessen the evils that all
see would be a strieter enforcement of
the law against the class of places
where the colored soldiers resort. By
a determined and persistent effort they
could be made much fewer if not com
pletely suppressed. 1t is possible to
practically rid the town of the keepers
and inmates of these dives if a genuine
effort is made. 1t certainly should be
made. This done, there will be very lit
tie heard about the soldiers breaking
the peace of the city
In trying to effect this reform the
police authorities may rest assured
that their efforts viii be seconded by
Colonel Kent and the officers at the
fort so far as lies in their power
through discipline and the curtailment
OF leaves Of absence to the men under
them. These soldier fracases are be-
coming so frequent that immediate
attention should be given them with
a view to preventing their recurrence.

TALES OF THE DAY.
She Knew His Failing.

Ohio State Journal: When Mr.. Virgins
reached home from his office the other
evening he found his 3-year-old boy
stretched out on the rug before the fire
scribbling on a piece of paper with
lead pencil. Mrs. Virgins was sitting in
a chair close by, watching the little tots
actions with a mothers keen interest.
What are you doing, Willie, writing
letter to papa?' said Mr.. Virgins, smil-
ingly, as ne drew chair up by the fire.

The Christmas number of the New
York Herald Git was issued last Sun
day) contains sixty-four pages and is
a triumph of newspaper making. The
first page is a beautiful thing. It rep
resents Christmas, 1897. There is our
old friend Santa Claus, with the light
shining down upon him from a star
held in the hand of an angel. The
inscription is: Gloria in excelsis Dec.
Peace on earth; good will toward
man The number throughout is
worthy the first page.

Of the vast fortune he (the father has
accumulated. We think Morris, pere,
has done a very sensible thing in this
particular case. but he lays himself
open to attack when he says he would
prefer his son to develop capacity for

greatest author of the century.
Literature is a great thing, and so
is commerce, but the literary dilettanti
who deride the latter will never adorn
the former.

THE STREET BOY.

l see the street child run the street,
Forlorn and pretty, squalid, black,
Borne on the Whim of lawless feet,
The blouse rent on his nimble back.
/ spy his rags by hoof and wheel,
And see him lounge alert, alone,
Fearless, corrupt. aWatch to steal,
Or break a dog S leg with a stone.
With slfsh mates he laughs, runs. slides,
No bread nor bed at home has he;
His father in the cells abides,
His mother at the factory.
For him pang has shot me through;
Little he has-he has my tears.
What viii he be?-what will he do?
If one could see through twenty years.
Garrulous child and bird! What griefs
Are those that wait for him? The
thralrs?
The laborers beggers woe? The thiefs?
What scene? The goals, the hospitals ?
See now, see now, I'll steal away
Down to the street and pluck him near
This heart of agony and say,
With all my kisses, in his ear:
Il was alone-a wanderer;
Sorrow and want were used to me-
1 love you, child! Oh, / had her
My mother-at the factory"
From thu italian of Ada Negri.

Boston Posi-: hi He wages of oneratives

Boston Post: If the wages of operatives
in the Fall River mills are to be reduced
as the only alternative to the entire stop
page of production, the salaries of treas
urers and superintendent should be cut
at the same time and even in larger
slices. The docking of 10 per cent from
the earnings of q mill hand means de-
him He has no margin for savings in
the best of times, and a reduction takes
just so much out of his means of living
In the case of high-salaried officials, the
loss of 10 per cent of income involves no
such sacrifice: it simply diminishes by a
little the amount which he puts by and
invests.
