oMAHA's CALL
At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the New Jersey Editor
ial Association at Trenton, Monday
of last week, the editor of The IN
QUIRER was appointed committee
to ascertain the cost of an Excursion
to the Trans Mississippi and inter
national Exposition at Omaha Neb.
The editor wrote to Col. Robert Nit
chell Floyd, of jersey City, President
of the New Jersey State Commission.
about the trip and below will be
found interesting extracts from the
letter we received i'll reply:-As Presl-
dent of the New Jersey State Com
mission, | can assure you OF onl
hearty cooperation in your proposed
outing to Omaha. No one apprecl-
ates more clearly than myself, the
wrong done our commercial interests.
by the Appropriation Committee, in
ignoring the claims to recognition of

opportunity, OF being the first of the

call
We have lacked state pride and
courtesy. Noting these statements.
you will also remember that the West
during the last few years. have look
ed upon the east, as the enemy,
from financial and political stand
point. How is it then, when we are
dependent upon this section tor the
purchase of nearly one-half of all our
products, that our State Representa-
tives, fail to appreciate the needs OF
the moment, and the investment of a
few dollars, that would pay the state
a large return.
You will credit me with full ear
nestness in this matter, when l state
that from the position of a traveller
and student of affairs, have been
many times called upon to defend
New jersey from aspersions which
have arisen in the minds of people
outside our state, on account of our
great lack of state pride, and courtesy
to sister States.
In an interview with Chauncy De
pew IeW days ago, where l voiced
the sentiment as stated in this letter,
he answered, that the pittance
($7, ,5O0,) appropriated by the New
York Legislature, was inadequate;
that the state should have appropriat-
ed at least $4,000; knowing the feel
ing ofenmity held by the West towards
the East, it was a great Commercial
mistake, on the part of New York as
well as New Jersey. that fitting rep
resentation had not been made.n
The New York State Commission
holds its meeting to-day, and plans
will be arranged for obtaining funds
by private subscription.
A vital reason has arisen for our
recognition of the West in the pro
spectiye War. Foreign shipments of
New Jerseys manufactures and pro
ducts, have been. and will be, Shut
off. Therefor, we will be more de
pendent upon the west, as a buyer OF
our goods, than ever before.
The Press of New jersey has ever
been wakeful to state interests and
needs. | hope that now they will
again take the helm, and bring tc
the front, the state we should fee
proud to own as our own.
Yours sincerely.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL
Attention, Con gressmen!

attention, Con ngressmen!
The Republicans are evidently
in a dilemma. Mr.. Reed, who
wants to be the Speaker OF the
next House, evidently believes the
WASHINGTON SENTINEL is right
when 1t says that, if the House
passes the Lodge bill just as the
latter passed the Senate. e., the
great mass ofthe Republicans Tor it
and mostly all OF the Democrats
against 1.-THE Republicans will
surely lose the mex House. He
has, therefore, kept the Lodge bill
back, and, as we understand now,
the educational test will be drop
ped, and the Corliss bill, which is
even worse against immigration
than the Lodge bill, will be put in
its place.
The officers are to examine all
the immigrants, to see whether
they have sufficient mental abil-
ties to come here. Under the old
laws, if a man has previously
secured work (which they call a
contract,) he is refused permission
to land, or, il he has landed, is
sent back again, as was the case
with Al Croatians. The same
parties, if they have no work, and
the officers think they cannot get
work, because they have no dis
tinct trade, can be refused admis
sion. In short, the Corliss bill
gives the Know-NothIng officials
immense power.
The leading German-American
papers have bitterly denounced the
Corliss bill. They all believe like
the SENTINEL that present laws are
sufficient to keep out undesirable
eleme nts. and, as immigration has
greatly fallen off. the German es-
peciallY having almost ceased
only 900 having come last year,
and 1000 or 5000 of them having
returned again, because there are
better times for the laborer in the
old country, regardless of the
Lodge bills-Congress ought to
stop trying to pass new legislation
against immigration.
Let the Republicans adopt bills
Of the kind. Il will give US the
next House, though there may be
some few Democratic fools to help
them.

Once again Charles HoYt's "a Milk
White Flag" will flutter triumphantly,
this time at the Academy. This comedy
has been seen before in Washington at
the National Theatre, and attracted
large and delighted audiences. AS is
generally known, "a Milk White Flag"
is keen but kindly satire ON the anna
teur warriors who compose the militia
companies Of this great continent. Our
boys in blue are just as fond OF an ice
cream sociable as they are of an hour on
parade grounds, They like just as well
to whirl in the giddy mazes OF the dance
as to go to the right and left about in
company drill. In other words, they
combine business with pleasure, with a
slight preponderance in favor Of the
latter. It is with this weakness OF our
brave defenders that Author Hoyt
deals with in "A Milk White Flag" He
handles the boys without gloves and in
such a humorous way that not one Of
them could possibly take ofiense at his
methods; and, strange to say, that
among the large audiences that have
witnessed the performances Of "A Milk
White Flag" local militia organizations
have been prominent. Among the old
faVorites who are in the cast are John
w, Dunno, the man whom Napoleon
looked like; George Tallman, a fine
barYtone singer; Frank R. Glenn, as
the Surge on; Richard Granella, as the
only Private; John S. Marble, as the
Undertaken and James S. Smith, as the
"dear departed one" The new corners
are Miss Lansing Rowan, beautiful and
clever actress. who will impersOnate the
Widow; Jobyna Rowland, as the Friend;
L. 7. LOring, as the General, and Hoyt's
latest discovery IN the soubrette lire,
Mary Marble as the Orphan. The cos.
tunes and scenery are all new this
season; the band Of Ranscome Guards
will play on as before, and the latest
catchy music will be heard in "A Milk
White Flag"

business. 1t is not comic opera in the
conventional sense; it is not farce, but
is distinctly what it processes to be
musical comedy. The music is claimed
to be of the catchy sort, light and
rhythmic, and several Of the songs have
given evidence of more than ordinary
merit, while one or two OF these have
become immensely popular, notable,
"A Simple Piece OF String" "a Wet
Day." and mot the Way to Treat a
Lady" The comedy Of the piece is not
OF the slap stick order, but, from report,
is genuine larCIcal fun that really tickles
ones risibles, and throughout the play
there is much clever stage business in
song, dance and pantomime that has the
added merit Of originality. The effect
Of all this is SAID TO be heightened by
quick action and crowded incidents
following each other with vim and
smoothness that bespeak the thoroughly
drilled company. This is explained
when it is stated that Mr.. Frohmau1s
American presentation was made under
the experienced direction of J. A. Z.
Malone, of the Gaiety I heatre, London,
who made the original production, and
who saw to il that every detail OF the
piece was properly brought out and
developed by the American company.
The fame Of The Circus Grip has
reached here, as the play is the same
that only last TALL completed an engage
ment which lasted twenty-one weeks at
Daly's Theatre, New York. 1t is,
moreover, still running at the London

been displayed for the good part of two

The story Of the play, which il IS un.

wards. In the second act are shown the

The scene changes from Tampa Bay to
Cuba and the story of love and revenge
is resumed under stirring auspices.
Valdez turns up as an officer in the i'm

to be handsomely staged, all OF the

The Southern Republican Vote.

The Raleigh IN. c. Wr1Os and
O6SeyvFy has done.the Democratic
party a distinct service by disprov-
ing convincinglY the Republican
assertion that the growth OF the
cotton industry and the spread Of
Republicanism in the South go
hand in hand. The most recent
proponent of this theory was Vir-
ginian who deserted the Democra-
tic party in 1896, and is therefore
regarded by Republicans as one
inspired and canonized. This gen
tleman, addressing the Massachu-
sets Reform Club, said:
Ia the last election, the Republican or
sound money vote OF North Carolina
was thrown in the middle and western
parts of the State, where are located the
cotton industries, now considered to be
the greatest competitors OF Massacbu-
sets.
And thereat the Massachusetts,
Mugwumps applauded nightly,
hnding consolation for the loss OF
their cotton industry in the bliss
full expectancy that Democracy
was to be slaughtered in the house
OF its friends.
But the We1Vs and Observer
makes general denial by insisting
that the Mckinley vote was cast
in the distinctly negro counties
OF the State" Alamance County,
the first in the number Of cotton
mills, gave Mckinley twelve ma
ioritY. II the negro vote be de-
Quoted from this, negroes having
no connection with the mills. it is
evident that the whites gave Mr..
Bryan large majority, OF six
teen counties in North Carolina in
which cotton milling is largely de-
Veloped, three only gave Mckin-
ley a majority, and those major
tiles came largely through negro
voters. The NezVS and O6Sey0Ey
sums the situation up in a sentence
when it says, GAS rule, the big
ger the factories and the more sue
cessful the bigger was Bryan's
majority.
There are no signs on the politi-
cal horizon yet to indicate that
south OF the Mason and Dixon's
line the Republican party will ever
cease to be the party Of gross ig-
norance generalled by gross cor
ruptiou.

Until recently all shipbuilding
material was admitted free into
Germany. This did not satisfy the
iron industry OF Germany. as al
most everything then came from
England. After several conven-
tions, the Government-owning the
railroads-made freight rates on
shiDbuilding material merely NOM
inal, in fact so low as not to pay
the actual cost of carriage. The
iron and steel companies also
agreed to sell TO the ship builders
at greatly reduced rate. Then
the Government agreed to grant
enormous subsidies to steamers
carrying the German flag, larger

The Boston immigration RestFic-
Cion League

The Boston immigration RestTic-
tion League
has issued a new circular, the
twenty-fourth in its number. It
responds to DR.. Senner's circular,
and says that the opposition to the
Lodge bill is based on misunder-
standing. 1t recites DR.. Senner's
own words in favor OF the Educa-
tional test, when, as Immigrant
Commissioner Of Ellis Island, he
practically introduced the test in
October, 1896. Probably the Doc
tor was then in favor OF the test,
because he thought that thereby
he could continue to hold his posi-
tion. Nevertheless he lost it, and
now he is against the Lodge bill.
We repeat again that it would
have been better if DR.. Senner had
assumed a more quiet position and
not, with his record, placed him
self at the head Of the anti-Lodge
bill movement. He has only hurt
the cause.
The Boston League wants to
show that the Lodge bill would
not have hurt the Germans. 1t
says:
An educational test applied 70 every
immigrant in 1897 would have kept out
only "a 2 per cent. OF all persons over
sixteen years of age. II would have
ke ot out less than 1 per cent. OF the
Cermans,aDd only 3.6 per cent. OF those
from the United Kingdom, France, Ger.
many and Scandinavia, anC such test
applied under the provision Of the
Lodge bill would keep out still fewer
because Of the many exceptions made
by that bill in favor ot persons not re
quired to take the test.
And yet. If that be so, why are
the German, English, Irish, French
and Scandinavian immigrants stop
ping from coming to this country
Why does the Boston Anti. I'm ..
migration League, which dis
tinctly states that it drafted the
bill introduced by Lodge in the
54th Congress, (the basis oil and
very similar 10 the present bill as
passed in the Senate") assert in
another place in its circular that
the percentage OF immigrants com.
ing from the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Scandinavia
has decreased from 81 per cent IN
1890 to SO per cent in 1902 And
we may add, is almost wiped out

The Status OF De Lome.

AS the policy OF Mckinley in
the Spanish. Cuban question has
been a pro-Spanish one through
out, and against Cuba, dictated
perhaps by the 400 millions debt
bond holders oil Wall Street, the
Spanish Minister has only ex
pressed the sentiments oil the dip
lomats Of other nations and espec-
tally OF the Spanish people, in de-
riding and ridiculing the impotent
and unsatisfactory actions Of the
present Administration, notwith-
standing De LONE has always been
able to ball the Cuban patriots, in
their efforts to get some assistance
from this country. Over two mil
lions Of dollars it has cost this
country in employing our navy to
assist Spain in numbering the
Cuban people.
Any such policy deserves con
tempt, and De Lone will be a
hero when he reaches home, be-
cause he has said what the Spa nish
papers and Spanish leaders, in fact
the Spanish people, say openly.
But how could it be otherwise1 Is
not our foreign policy the meanest
that any country ever pursued
And what opinion must the
Cuban patriots have? What kind
words must they have for McKin-
ley. who, after ignoring the resolu-
tions Of Congress, did everything
to let Spain continue that cruel
war, while nearly 900, 900 Of their
people were starved to death.

out. He ought not to have told
the truth about his friend McKin-
ley, at whose house he was a well
come guest night aud day. That
