WHY THE BILL WAS VETOED
YIELDED TO THE
STEAMSHIP COMPANIES.
I'LL Would Injure Their Business
The History of the Measure How It
Came to BE Conceived.

WASHINGTON, March at is re-
ported that the tremendous pressure
from the steamship companies brought
about Cleveland's veto of the Lodge
Immigration bill.
Some years ago number of eminent
economists declared that the country
was filing up too rapidly with people
of alien race and that a check should
be put to immigration. These people
lived for the most part in and about
Boston, and the Immigration Restrc-
ton League which they formed had its
headquarters in that city. John Fiske,
the historian, was President of the
society, and it's membership included
many prominent names. After consd-
cradle study of the immigration ques-
ton, conducted mostly by salaried rep
resentatives, they decided that the best
test that could be devised would be
that of ability to read and write.
BY the best test" they meant one
which excludes the least desirable inn
migrants as a whole and allow to come
in those relatively more welcome. it
was discovered that the educational
test. as it was called, would not affect
the Germans and Irish to any extent,
or, in fact, the inhabitants of West
ern Europe as whole, but would OPP
crate to exclude the people of Eastern
Europe. the Southern Italian, slaves
and certain classes of Russians.
A bill providing for an educational
test was accordingly drawn up by this
society and introduced in the House by
Samuel w. Mccall, a Representative
from Massachusetts, and in the Senate
by Henry Cabot Lodge. The bill has
had a tortuous course and has twice
been sent to conference. The pro-
visions of the bill were, roughly, that
all immigrants between the ages of
sixteen and seventy should be able to
read and write in some one language.
Early in the session Representative
Corliss of Michigan introduced a bill
TO smut out I1le IdIlduldn ldDOTcTS
coming into this country to work
while maintaining their residences
across the line. His bill became an
amendment of the Educational Test
bill and later one of its essential pro-
visions. This amendment makes it
necessary for any one who desires en-
ployment on any public works, or even
who draws wages in this country, to
reside here and not habitually go back
and forth to a home in some other
country.
This is the part of the bill upon
which President Cleveland largely
based his veto. 1t is believed that this
law would result in retaliatory legis-
lation from the Canadians and that the
outcome would be the exclusion of
thousands of Americans now en-
ployed in British Columbian mines,
provided they were not willing to re-
nounce their American citizenship and
become Canadians.

How He Told Her Father.

The older man was the father of the wo-
man in the case; the younger was the man
who wanted to marry her. says the Wash
ington Star.
The younger was the average young man
seeking wife-no better, no worse.
Why the father did not want him as his
son-ln-law must be answered by other
Fathers who have felt as this one did. Per-
haps there is no answer.
so when the younger man came, the
older was prepared to meet him as one
who was by no means first in his estima-
ton. Inc younger man was aware of
the olders feeling, but quite disregarded

OF treatment under the circumstances.

suitor appeared in his presence.
Il fancy you know, sir, why am here"
responded the caller. Gas you may be
aware, It Is to ask your consent TO the
marriage of your daughter to me-"
"Well?' said the father, with an inflec-
ton which did not bode well.
Il understand that you do not look
faYorably upon me as the husband of your
daughter, and L want to assure you that
! am not here on my own behalf, but upon

ION hers, sir, said" the amazing young
man went on. She loves me, and to lose
not as she .oVeS me. You know one must
love more strongly than the stronger in
this instance. Neither of us is to blame
If l had loved her as she loves me- my
love would have made me afraid to risk
my hopes by asking your consent. AS it
is, | come to you in confidence, believing
that you love your daughter so much bet

BY this time the father was indignant
and violent.

piled the sutton; but l am telling you the
plain truth. If you will kindly refer the

young man walked out.

The "GOOd Old Times.y

One of those well-meaning old gentle
men who believe the country is rapidly
approaching political ruin, received a
well-merited rebuke the other evening
while riding in Thirteenth street car
with eX-Judge Theodore T.. Jenkins, says
the Philadelphia Record. The old gentle
man in question recognized the judge and
introduced himself. Naturally, the con-
versation turned to things political, and
the old gentleman relieved his mind con-
corning the affairs of the state and nation.
"Why, thirty years ago. he exclaimed,
mo one could have believed such a state
of affairs ever to be possible" The judge
unused in silence. for moment. Then
he said Let me see. Thirty years ago
was 1867. Boss Tweed and his New York
ring were in full control, robbing the
people right and left. Gambling houses
were openly running in Philadelphia. Men
were shot on the streets and woman
wasn't safe out alone after dark. The
city's credit was way below par, and poll
ticians were dividing the spoils." The
old gentleman deprecatingly waved his
hand. but the judge mercilessly continued:
BOSS Shepherd was in control of Wash
ington, the Credit Mobilier scandal was
under way" but the seat beside him was
vacant. The old gentleman had alighted.
The other passengers expressed in their
glances their appreciation of the able
manner in which Judge jenkins had de-
Tended the times.

C1creInndnnh the Treaty.

The ratification of the arbitration treaty
would add great deal to the glory of Mr..
Cleveland's administration. 1t is well I'M
derstood however. that if a vote on the
question of ratifying it were taken at the
present time it would be defeated. wheth-
er or not it will be ratified after the inau-
guration of the Mckinley administration
is a question which no one can answer
now with any degree of certainty.
If Mr.. Cleveland were not so unpopular
in the Senate it is almost certain that the
treaty would have been ratified very soon
after it was submitted to that body There
are reasons for thinking that most of the
objections which have been urged against
it have been presented with the view of de-
laying it's ratification. 1t is noticeable that
most of the republican senators favor the
treaty, and that those who have been and
still are leading the opposition to it are
democrats-and they are democrats who
are bitterly hostile to Mr.. Cleveland. They
are determined that he shall not have any
honor or glory Of which they can deprive
him. There appears to be some ground
for saying that they would rather crafty
their feeling Of hostility to him than to
see the country rendered a great public
service by him.
Mr. Cleveland is to blame in a great
measure for his unpopularty with the
senators of his own party. He has refus-
ed TO consult them about matters concern
ing which they have been accustomed to
be consulted, and he has ignored their
suggestions when they have offered them.
in other words, he has treated them as if
he did not have the fullest confidence in
their desire to advance the public welfare,
particularly in instances in which their
interests and those of the public come in
conflict. Naturally they are not disposed
to- assist him in any way. on the con
trary, they are ever ready to oppose him
and his wishes.
1t is question whether Mr.. Cleveland
has pursued a course that is best for the
country. No fair minded man doubts that
he is thoroughly sincere, and that he has
done at all times what he thought was
best for the people. but he has not been
able to carry out his policies fully because
he has not had the support of his own
party in congress. He has the confidence
Of the people in a marked degree, but
while public sentiment has a powerful in
fluence il is not at all times sufficient to
compel party leaders to support an admin
istration for which they have no feeling of
friendship.
