ALIEN PAUPERS.

The report of a legislative COM
mittee which visited every public
institution in the State, shows that
there are more than 10000 alien
paupers in Pennsylvania and their
support costs the taxpayers of the
Commonweal not less than 81, $780,
600 every year. The committee
appointed to make inquiry as to
the extent of the affection had
authority to suggest remedial le-
gislation. and called attention to
the fact that New York, Massa-
chusetts, Minnesota and Rhode
Island have laws providing for the
removal of alien paupers to the
States and countries from which
they came. Such q law has been
in operation in Massachusetts for
a number of years, and in 1896
that State deported SIS alien pau
pers to other countries and $50 to
other States, thus getting rid of
1.168 of them in single year. In
the case of Pennsylvania the ma
jority of the alien paupers are la
borers several years ago we're i'm
ported into this country under the
contract system by the manufac-
turers and mine owners to COM
pete with American labor, but be-
ing too ignorant to do the work
required of them were discharged
and soon became public charges.
The committee of the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature has heretofore pre-
pared a bill which follows the line
of legislation in Massachusetts, and
the other States we have mention
ed and which will, if adopted, re-
suit in the deportation of the fore
ign paupers to their native lands.
If the immigration laws of the
United States were more restric-
tive and more rigidly enforced
there would be no necessity for
State legislation bearing on the
matter, but as it seems to be i'm
possible to secure from Congress
the enactment of proper and need
ed immigration laws, the vigorous
cooperation of the State authori.
ties with national immigration
officials will result in a very salts.
factory reduction of the alien pan.
per evil of which there has been
an alarming increase in many of
the States. States.

LOOK OUT, PEOPLE.

~ ~ : - ~ i A<A>'
The Police Jury, decided to give
us an Iron Bridge across the
Teche, at St Martinville, also the
bridge over the lake at Delacroix's
plantation. This last bridge is
worth trade of SIS, 10000, more for
our town.-Euangeline.
The Police Jury agrees to build
the Lake Marsh bridge, which will
be a bridge of nearly thirteen hun
dred feet long. to be built of wood.
The Lake bridge is a necessity
felt since many years, and our
people have been working to Sc
cure it for long time, it is gener-
ally believed that the construction
of this bridge will open a new
channel to our trade, that will
cause an increase in the business
of the town of fully fifteen per
cent, if this estimate is correct,
the expense of the bridge will be
q good investment, besides, giving
to those people living on the other
side of the Lake, the facilities of
reaching the seat of justice by a
road only four or five miles as
against the present one which is
between twelve or fifteen.
Both constructions are needed,
and will be of great convenience to
our people. -Messenger.
For the benefit of our people
who wish to know what bridge is
referred to we will state that it is
one to be built across a narrow
neck of the lake-a place about
1900 feet long-by the police ju-
ry of st. Martin Parish in order
to bring the trade of Burke, Cade
and possibly Segura to the town
of st. Martinville. In addition
the police jury of that parish con-
tributed $1,000 of the $1,000 ne
cessary for the erection of an iron
bridge across the Teche at that
town.
But the long bridge across the
lake is what should interest Ibe-
rians. The object of this bridge
is to secure the trade of that sec
ton of the country around Burke,
Cade and Segura which largely
comes here at present.
If st. Martinville gets this trade,
and we believe she will, New Ibe-
ria will naturally lose it. Can our
merchants afford to let their bust
ness be taken away? 1t is useless
for New Iberia to sheer at such a
possibility. The building of these
two bridges is more than Iberia
Parish could do. In fact our po-
lice jury had not fifty dollars to
devote to repairs in the st. Mar
tinville road.
Our people can keep this trade
by shortening the road from Burke
to New Iberia TO five instead of
seven miles. This, if the roads
are kept in good order, will still
give US an advantage over st. Mar
tinville. The question is will they
keep this trade or let st. Martin
vile get tn. I. Iberian.

INJURY To WHEAT CROP.


Inquiry to the Indiana wheat crop from
the recent change IN temperature has been
the topic of much conversation during the
last two days. That the fear of damage
TO the grain has not been ill-founded was
admitted yesterday by Mr.. Wappenhans. of
the weather bureau. Mr.. Wappenhans
says the recent severe change TO cold
weather Will injure wheat merely because
there Is no snow on the ground To afford
protection The recent rains have perme-
ated the ground TO AN unusual extent and
the freeze for tniS reason Will go much
deeper. However. he thinks the damage
Will not be great, for the reason that wheat
Is dormant through the winter and recov-
ers afterwards. But in all the area affected
by the recent change from rain TO extreme
cold. the wheat crop will sustain more or
less injury.

ARNOR PLATE PLANT.
Report Of the Investigating Board
to Secretary Long.
FHE OOsT OANNOT BE REDUoEp.

Evident That the Government Cannot
Make It's own Armor at the Limit
Price Named in the Last Naval Ap..
preparation Bill.
Washington, Dec. 2-The naval board
appointed by authority Of congress to
ascertain the cost OF an armor plant
made its report through Commodore
Howell to Secretary Long yesterday.
The report makes a voluminous docu-
ment, treating every detail OF the pro-
cess Of armor making essential to a
correct appreciation OF the cost Of the
plant and Of the product. 1t Is also
accompanied by elaborate plans for the
plant which have been verified by Ex-
pert Fritz. The cost Of a plant suit
able for the making of naval armor at
the rate Of about 5000 tons per annum,
which is fully equal TO the capacity
of both of the existing private plants,
is set down as about 1880, 900. No
recommendation is made as to the To-
cation of the plant but the board has
accumulated much information as to
Me merits Of various eligible locations
which may be had by congress II called
for by It,
Secretary Long win now proceed i'm
mediately to take the next step neces-
sary to carry out the wish Of congress,
namely, invite proposals by advertise
ment for building such plant as that
designed for the use Of the govern
ment. It is expected that congress will
be advised also of the offers made by
both the existing armor making con-
Germs to sell out to the government,
and also OF other large interests to
turn over plants which will permit Of
alteration into effective plants.
The report of the board, which may
be strengthened by an endorsement
from Secretary Long, makes it quite
evident that the government cannot
undertake to make its own armor at the
cost named as the limit of price to be
paid to private firms in the last naval
appropriation bill.
