IMMIGRATION LAWS.

1t begins to look as If something would
be accomplished in the way of giving
this country better laws regarding immi-
grafton. The senate has agreed to take q
vote on the bill pending before that body
looking to the restriction of immigration
on January II. 1t is to be hoped that the
senators will thoroughly inform them
selves upon the subject before casting
that vote, for if they will do this the bill
will be passed without opposition.
An address delivered before the Ma
tional Prison Reform congress-, recently
in session in Austin, Tex, by President
Winston, of the Texas state university
contains some suggestions and statistics
on foreign immigration and it's relation
to CRIME in the United States which are
almost startling. In that address Mr..
Winston proved by we'll authenticated
figures that the criminal, pauper and in
sane population of this country amounts
to nearly 100000, or one person in every
222. is an inmate of prison, reformatory,
public aims house or charitable instltu-
ton. To feed, olothe and shelter this
mass of wretched humanity is big item
in the list of public expenditures and it is
becoming larger every year.
According to the figures presented, over
one-half Of the criminals in the land are
either foreign or colored, although these
elements constitute only about one-fourth
of the population. The native white, be-
ing 70 per cent of the total population,
furnishes only 40 per cent, nearly one-half,
though born in America, we're of foreign
parentage. The native white population
of genuine American parentage furnishes
only only one-fourth of the criminal
class.
Viewed from the standpoint of morality
alone, the restriction of immigration
seems imperative. For number OF
years past the great majority of the
foreigners who have come to the United
States have been of the lowest Glasses of
the old world countries, ignorant and
vicious, and these people have added
largely to the number of criminals. Some
attempt at restriction OF lmmigratlon has
been made in recent years and the effects
have been very noticeable in reducing the
per oentage of that class of immigrants
but there is room for much greater forts
along that line.
But the really great consideration fol
stopping indiscriminate immigration ii
the effect it will have upon the condition
Of the people already here. Work must
be had for all or poverty and suffering
result, and to properly provide for th'
present population there are worker
sufficient on the ground to supply thu
demand for all time to come.
Charity begins at home, and humanity
the requirements of the government snt
the welfare of the country demand tina
the hordes of foreigners that annual!
land at the various ports be kept out il
the future. When the many and varied
elements 10 the country have been as.
simulated, it will then be time enough to
allow more to come in. The senate vii
meet with the wishes of vast ma jorlt,
Of the people If a strong regulative meas
ure restricting immigration Is passed.

private land grants, oommends Itself to
the good judgment or favorable opinion
of sensible and thoughtful men. The
bill is too crudely drawn and gives the
average prospeotor entirely too much
chance and too much leewsy. In order
to take possession of any lands within
the confines of land grant all the pros

valuable ores and offer the owner ~ 80
per acre and that settles it. This Ia alb
surd. The bill has no chance of passage

There will he held In Washington
this week conference between com.

Growers Association and National As
sociation of wool manufacturers. The
conference will be the first that has
been held between the two opposing
interests for several years.
An attempt will be made to reach an
agreement on the wool schedule to be
incorporated in the next tariff. Chair
man Dingley of the ways and means
committee has found it difficult to sat-
isfy both sides, and an agreement will
be hailed with delight by him. The
New England delegates state they will
be satisfied with q duty of eight cents q
pound on raw wool, but will object to q
higher rate.
1t is expected that the wool growers
from the middle and western States
will vigorously resist an eight-cent duty
and will demand at least 10 cents.

WANTED-A DEPOT.

The consolidated railroad ,.aftor years
of buffeting against fate, has at last
come within hailing distance Of the
completion of its new depot at Provi-
dence. Our neighbor had Q long and
excruciating tussle with the company
ere it could be induced to expend its
wealth on this structure, although the
need of o better depot there has been
in evidence slmost since prehistoric
times. We congratulate Providence
that it has at last conquered in this up
hill fight and we respectfully direct the
attention OF President Clark and his
cabinet to the need OF similar inno-
vation in Pawtucket.
Time was when the present structure
was adequate to meet the demands
made upon it, but Pawtucket has waxed
great in population and Importance
since that day, and the old depot is no
longer in keeping with it's environ
ments. It is, in the light of the traffic
emanating from this station, noponger
commodious or comfortable. 1t has
served it's day OF usefulness and needs
begone. Traffic at this point is in
creasing enormously each year. On
both sides of the track the inability of
the present facilities to meet the de-
mands made upon them is growing
more and more apparent. The road
could profitably expend handsome
sum in puttingsup new passenger sta
ton as well as new baggage and freight
houses. Judging from the experience
Of Providence the question cannot lie
argued too continuously. If Paw
tucket is to have station fitted to its
needs before it has entirely outgrown
every plank In the present structure,
it must agitate, and that without meas-
ure.
An immense sum was provided to in
crease the terminal facilities in Boston.
A tithe of this would give Pawtueket
all that she will need for years in the
way OF depot facilities. It would be
paying investment for the road as we'll
as for the passengers and merchants Of
this city. Experience has shown that
money thus expended is never lost The
Consolidated road does not expect to
lose on the Boston depot. The North
ern Pacific did not lose when il erected
a mammoth terminal depot in Chicago,
nor did the twenty odd railroads that
centre in st. Louis feel that they were
acting unwisely when they put up in
that city new union depot that cost q
large fortune. Pawtucket is not ter
minal city, but she does huge railroad
business and is entitled to ample ac-
commodatiOns.

OBJECT TO WINE.

Union and the inaugural.

The Young WOman's Christian Temperance
Union and the inaugural.
The Young Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union has its weather eye out
for the inaugural ball committee. The
wearers of the blue object, they say, to
ushering President Elect Mckinley into
Office in the chariot of Bacchus. Hence
the following appeal sent to the execu-
tive committee of the national Repub-
lican party:
The Young Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union stands for the principle
of individual total abstinence and ma
tional sobriety. 1t believes that serving
wines or liquors Of any kind at the in.
augural balls has in the past been pro-
ductive of evil and has degraded what
might otherwise have been an imposing
ceremonial. The society therefore comes
before you with its large representation
of young men and women most earnest
ly requesting that President Elect Will
liam Mckinley may be ushered into his
solemn Office by sober people, without
taint Of dishonor attaching to any of
the civic functions relating to the great
occasion.
Believing we shall thus be helping to
attain that righteousness which ex-
alteth a nation" we remain yours for
the patriotism that guards public morals
and the integrity Of the ehome.-Frances
