The Immigration Bill.

The steamship lines which bring immi-
grants to this country from Europe made
a strong fight against the bill to restrict
immigration, and il they had succeeded
in getting seven more of the majority to
vote with the minority in the House they
would have prevented the adoption of the
conference report. The bill is an excellent
one. 1t is just such bill as the people
have been demanding for several years. II
excludes from this country all aliens over
sixteen years of age who cannot read and
write the language of their native country
or some other language. An exception to
this provision is that an aged person, who
is not qualified as the bill provides, and
who is the parent or grandparent of an
immigrant who is admissible, may accom-
pany such immigrant or be sent for by
him or her as the case may be.
The steamship companies do not, of
course, care whether the immigrants they
bring to this country are desirable or not.
Their sole object is to get all the human
freight they can, and they would bring
paupers, criminals and insane people pro-
vided the passage of such people was
paid.
There never has been any desire to shut
out desirable immigrants, and that class of
immigrants will not be shut out.
The great bulk of the immigrants who
have arrived within the last few years
have brought with them little or no money.
They are. in fact, paupers, and being will
ling to work for any wages they can get
however small, they have forced down
wages in this country in certain lines of
labor until native laborers cannot live de-
Gently upon what they earn. These objec-
tionable immigrants do not go into the
country and open farms and build villages.
They huddle together in the cities and be-
come the slaves of the sweat shops. They
appear to be contented as long as they
can get enough to eat. They are of no
benefit to the country and there is no good
reason why the country should be burden
ed with them

Close Call For Jack Tar.

Speaking Of wonderful adventures
said the retired sea captain, according to
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, Il
doubt if anything ever was more wonder
full than the one I'm going to tell you. 1t
happened a good many years ago, but that
doesn't alter its excellence nor Interfere
with its truth. / was first mate on the
Lovely Lou of Bangor, and we had been
on our way TO South America FOR about
four weeks. The wind had left the ship
during the last day of this period, AMI we
were dipping our peak to a lolling swell
that seemed to come from nowhere and
return to the same place without making
a ripple on the blue surface of the ocean.
The sails were all set and their shadows
fell clear upon the CLASSY surface, but
where the sun fell the water was as clear
as crystal. We were well within the trop-
les then, and several big sharks had been
seen playing about the vessel. Suddenly
there came a splash, and the cook ran TO
where l was standing on the poop q eek,
crying that one of the sailors had tumbled
overheard. The Lou had no way and
laughed at the idea of him drowning, tell
ing the cook to throw him rope, walking
to the rail as / did so. The sailor was
swimming about the quarter enjoying his
bath when ] suddenly saw an ominous
black fin make its appearance hundred
yards or so from the ship. yelled for the
rope and as / yelled l saw the fin move
toward the sailor, cutting the water like
knife. l knew that unless the man was
taken out quickly he would be devoured,
and rushed to the cabin grating to get a
line. Selling piece of rope l hastened to
the rail just in time to see the form of an
immense shark turn on its side 10 seize
the sailor. As he did so there was an in
stants glimpse of a long brown body, and
then the water was slashed into a sea of
yeasty foam, the shark seemingly being
IN trouble | threw the line, and in a mo-
ment the sailor was aboard, scared out
of his wits, but safe and sound The
threshing in the water still continuing,
we proceeded to investigate, and directly
we were able to see that the shark had
been pinned by large swordhsh, the
sword running through the jaws of the
shark in such manner as to prevent the
fish from opening them. Whether the
sharks antagonist had deliberately at
tackled the shark we know not, but its
timely and unexpected appearance saved
the sailors life beyond a. doubt. as an
other instant would have sent the teeth
Of the shark into the body of the mar. We
managed TO release the sword from the
shark and killed the latter, letting the
otter go free. 1t was a narrow squeak,
tell you"

The policy of MayOr-elect Meldrim, as
outlined in the Morning News yesterday,
in accordance with which the municipal
affairs Of the city are to be conducted dur
ing the next two years, ought to be salts
factory to every citizen. We have no doubt
it is We cannot see what fault can be
found with it by any fair minded person
The policy can be summed up in a very
few words Animosities among the people
growing out of partisan politics are to be
discouraged and an honest effort is TO be
made to promote the prosperity of the city
by every possible means We have had
enough OF partisan politics, as much as we
can Wen Afford and there would be a
feeling of relief if it were certain that we
should have no more of it. BY pursuing a
conservative course the mayor-elect viii
bring to his support all whose support IS
worth having. They will give him such
assistance as he asks in his efforts to give
the city a clean, economical and progress
sive government.
The mayor-elect recognizes the necessity
for economy. No extravagant salaries
should be paid and unnecessary offices
should be abolished. Only those qualified
to discharge the duties required of them,
and who are earnest and conscientious
should be allowed to retain positions in
the city's service or be appointed to such
positions. Every dollar that can be spar
ed from the running expenses Of the city
government should be devoted TO public
improvements 49, improvements which
would tend to increase the volume of bus
mess and make the city more beautiful
and more healthy. And the tax rate
should be steadily reduced. This year At
lanta has made a reduction of 25 cents on
the 500. This city has made a reduce
ton of 5 cents This city could not have
made so great d reduction as Atlanta has
without neglecting improvements. but a
small reduction can be made each year
in all probability, until the rate is about
what it is in other cities of Savannah's
class.
The mayor-elects policy is all right ard
it is his purpose to carry it out and he
will carry it out if the people will give him
the hearty support which he is entitled
to have.

Vote Rrihing i'm DeInwnre.

There are more voters In Delaware in
proportion 10 It's population who will sell
their votes than in any other state in the
union. There are only three counties, and
it is regarded as an easy matter to buy
the state. That it came very near being
bought recently is a fact that is well
known.
Those who sell their votes, according to
all accounts, are not confined to the very
poor people. Many voters who are we'll
to-do make it a point to get what they
can for their votes. Consequently. there is
no such a thing as an honest election in
Delaware. ''"s,
There are, however. some honest men'in
the state. and they are going to put a stop
to the taking of brides for votes if it is
possible to do so. The constitutional con-
vention of the state is in session, and it
has just adopted, as a part of a new con-
stitution, a provision which denies the
right of trial by jury to bride takers. Ac-
cording to this provision bride takers are
to be punished by fine and Imprisonment
and are to be tried by a board of judges
Witnesses cannot refuse to testify against
bride takers without running the risk of
being punished severely.
The situation is so bad in Delaware that
the bride givers and bride takers make
their bargains openly Efforts have been
made to put a stop to the practice. but
without avail. There are SO many bride
givers and bride takers that it is practi-
cally impossible to get a jury to convict
bride taker, even though the evidence is
sufficient to convict the parties accused.
The step the state has at last taken to
purify its politics may prove effective. 1t
is TO be hoped IL will.

"Can a Monkey Swim 2,

All sorts of funny questions come over
the telephone into newspaper office, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. Somebody
is always making a bet on some queer
proposition or other, and the decision is
left in many cases to some of the papers.
No sooner is the bet made than the men
who have put up the money, or promised
to do so, HE themselves to a telephone
and ring up the editor" of the paper to
which the decision is left.
Some of the propositions advanced are
enough to make a mule laugh, and some
are sent over the telephone Just to worry
the man who answers the ring and posi-
bly, to catch him with some trick. The
other day, for instance, some fresh boy
rang up a newspapers to ask for a de-
cision on this proposition:
rs it legal for man to marry his
Widows sister,"
The young man who answered the
phone refused to "bite," and told the In.
quirer that mis- question would be an.
swered through the columns of the paper
if he would write it out and forward It.
with his name and address. That is the
rule in most offices. This particular ques-
ton never came, of course.
But the other night there came one
that was too good to lose. so the young
man who received It answered it on his
own account
We've made bet" said the fellow who
rang up the office, land we want you to
decide it,"
This paper doesn't decide bets" was
the answer.
"Never mind the bet, then. Just decide
the question, win you?"
We'll, what Is the question:"
ITS this" came the answer; "Can

What an easy one! The young man az
the phone smiled happily as he put his
mouth down close to the transmitter aud
softly whispered:
Just go down to the lake and jump In.
Then you'll find out all about it."
And then he gently rang off and went on
with his work.
