The Omaha Bee takes liberal view
of the immigration question. Speaking
of the new law upon the subject, it
says: "The immigration restriction
lists will not rest satisfied with the new
immigration law. They do not so much
want the exclusion of the pauper,
vicious, criminal and ignorant classes
as the exclusion of all immigrants
whatever. The real motive behind them
is the desire to prevent competition by
restricting the number of laborers and
artisans. American employment ex-
clusively for Americans will ultimately
be their rallying cry. The more they
get the more they want
True; but is not the whole theory of
protection that American employment
and the American market must be re-
served exclusively for Americans? And
during the entire time of its existence
The spirit of the immigration restric-
tionists that the Bee condemns, infer
entially if not directly, is nothing but
the spirit of protection. OF course, the
real motive behind these restrictionists
is the desire to prevent competition by
restricting the number of laborers and
artisans: there is no denying that.
This country has been settled very
largely by foreign immigrants. and to
its advantage and their advantage.
More immigrants are needed. Shut out
the undesirable classes. but invite and

THE LIONS ROAR.
a Great Physical Effort Is Necessary 80
Produce the Full Effect

DR.. Livingstone noted the odd re-
semblance of the lions roar to that of
the ostrich, says the Spectator. Mr..
Millais says that though the roar
of the latter is not so loud, it has ex-
actly the same tone as that of the lion.
But the ostrich always roars his best,
the lion very seldom. This is partly
because 4 good" roar needs a great
physical effort. The whole interior and
muscles of mouth, throat, stomach and
abdomen are, for the moment, converted
into an organ OF terrific sound. and the
sound does make the earth ble-or
appear to do so. But the attitude is
not that usually drawn. Unless he roars

ike dog barking, the lion "emits his
first moan in any position, then draws
in his neck and lowers his head with
extended jaws, right down TO his fore

while at the same time the back is
arched and the whole animal bears an
appearance of concentrated strain"
This is Capt. hillais' phonetic render
ing of the sound. taken when listening
to three lions roaring their best: "Moan

Why lions roar, when it ought to pay
better to keep silent, is not yet ex-
plained. Gen. Hamilton was convinced
that tigers hunting in company roar to

When not on the road she has been

avenue, of which her sister Julia Is
housekeeper. The two sisters live en-
tirely alone. Monday morning an ex-
pressman delivered at Miss Connolly's
fiat a huge box of violets shipped all the
way from California in a bed of moist
moss. There were nearly 5000 separate
flowers. The penetrating odor filled the
fats. Miss Connolly's bedroom has no
means of ventilation except a door open
ing into the front parlor and another
with her sisters bed
room.
The air being chilly the actress re-
tired in the midst Of her violets with the
windows all closed. The next morning
her sister found her unconscious. A
physician who was promptly called
brought her hack 70 earth after having
dumped the violets outdoors. These he
said were PARTLY responsible for the

she was made to place her hand on the
bodies of several men who had met
their death in such a way, and, in the
words of the old chronicler, one "bled

RIDDY'S HALF HOLIDAY.
Most Wonderful Law Presented Befors
the New Zeaiand House

Most Wonderful Law Presented Befors
the New Zealand House
The New Zealand house of rep
sentatives has been doing some wonder
full things, and its latest achievement is
bill for a statutory half holiday for
domestic servants, which has already re-
ceived its second reading. According
to this proposal, every mistress is bound
TO turn her servants out of her house
from three p. II. until ten p. u. one
day in every week. If the servant is
found employed at her ordinary work
Curing the statutory half holiday, the
mistress will be liable to penalty of
SOS. If the servants return to their
homes for food during the time men
toned, the mistress must wait on them
or be mulcted to the same tune, but we
take it, says the Westminster Gazette,
I hat the mistress has q legal right to
refuse admittance. The result viii be
that large number of the servants
in the town, being country girls with
out friends, will be driven TO parade the
streets for these six hours of compul-
sorry holiday. The humorous complete
ness of this proposal will. we are afraid,
be fatal to its chances of becoming law.
