WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16. Under
date of January 80, Louise de la Rance,
the novelist, better known under her nom
de plume of "Ouida," addressed the fol-
lowing letter 10 Secretary Olney relative
to the imm migration bill, the conference re-
port on which will come before the Senate
tomorrow:
Sir: Win you pardon my addressing you
concerning the bill which see is before Con-
gress in intent TO bar immigrants who cannot
read? Ii you exclude Italians who cannot
read you will lose the best and most laborious
part OF the population and you will admit the
trash OF cities. It is not a question which
cannot properly be applied 10 Italians or, in
deed, 10 any foreign people. Why should you
suppose the power to spell out the crimes re-
corded In corrupt newspapers is any guarantee
for either virtue or intelligence?
In Italy the peRsantry are almost entirely
iiiterate; yet they are the only class which
can give immigrants OF any value. ! have
had many men in my employ, and l have in
variably found those who could not read ten
times more industrious, temperate, intelligent
and honest than those corrupted by the
trumpery education of schools. have had
for twenty years an old man (who has been
what is called the odd man in England), and
