THE PAUPERS' PARADISE.
America the Only Country Open TO
Undesirable Immigrants.

WASHINGTON. oct lN-Commissioner

have resulted in directing the d0w OF im-
migration from United States 20 Cana
dian ports. and also the fact as TO the
practice Of charitable institutions IN as
sisting plupers ana criminals and other
undesirable classes TO emigrate 10 the
United States. Mr. Watchorn finds that
the strict enforcement Of our immigration
laws. particularly al the port Of New
York has resulted in compelling unscru-
pulous immigratian agents abroad 10 seek
10 evade them by sending the most un-
desirable classes 10 Canada. at the same
time assuring them that they would find
little or no difficulty in passing the border
into the United States
He finds upon investiga zion that much
more stringent immigration laws than for
merly are being enacted by an The new
countries. including Australia. so that
practically this is the only country now
left open for the undesirable classes.

Our Refusal to Assume the Cuban
Debt a PretensiOn.
SPAIN MUST GIVE WAY N0BLY,
Fresh Humiliation Would Follow In
Successful Resistance TO Our De-
mands-The Temps Thinks That
Tribunal Of Arbitration
Alone Can Settle the
Dispute.

PARIS. oct. ls.-l1l5 7. M.-Spain can
no longer have any doubt regarding the
ultimate attitude Of the United States
toward the so-called Cuban debt. The
American Commissioners have declined
to assume il or any part of it by express
treaty or by contract
They also declined to accept a cession
Of sovereignty 10 the United States, for
in that case Spain would claim that such
a cessiOn by its own force would Impose
the obligation for that debt
IL is confidently believed that in refus-
ing to accept a cession of sovereignty the
American Commissioners are acting upon
their announcement 10 the world In tho
Intervention resolutions disclaiming SOW
ereignty or authority over Cuba except
for pacihcation and then to leave the ISL
and to the control Of IT'S people and 10 the
assumption Of its obligations.
AN EXAGGERATED PRETENSlON.
La Liberte, referring 10 the Cuban debt
as now dividing the two countries"
says: The Spanish regard the refusal
OF the United States to assume the Cuban
debt as an exaggerated pretension."
Ia one sentence la Liberte declares
that Spanish finances were ruined in
NiNlIb 10 HANpif01 AlAD NrAhAAA A4l-AA Z ~N~
ton" and in the next IL says that the
debt was contracted for the benefit Of
Cuba. Then it points 10 Spain as plead
ing for arbitration where the commits
sions do not agree and says.
THE Washington cabinet will not listen
TO anything. We have already pointed
out the abnormal conditions attending
the appointment Of the American dele
gates and their imperious instructions.
Mr. Day and his colleagues are not
properly ncgotiators but only mandators.
They have 10 right 20 discuss or 10 make
concessions but simply may announce TO
the Spanish government the exact con-
ditions Of the United States. the
American commissioners have formal
orders not 10 lend themselves TO any
notifications of the conditions Of peace.
President Mckinley is dictated 10 by
public opinion which will some day repent

Madrid now knows that the effort 10

disposition of the United States.'
The Temps says editorially: ut is still
thought that tribunal Of arbitration

better the government is apt 10 be.
AN ABLE SPEAKER.
Mr. Moore IS a student outside Of the
technical limits Of his profession, and
reads extensively in every direction. Ad-
dresses delivered by him on various occa-
sions, have been very favorably criticised,
among them an address delivered before
the Bar Association in 1886. 1t was a
scholarly and thoughtful discussion Of the
evils OF delay in criminal proceedings. and
the remedies that should be adopted.
He is a capital all-around speaker. and
there are few better anywhere, whether
before a court or before a jury or on the
platform or on the stump. Those who
served with him in The Senate will recall
the force and clearness Of his treatment
Of business questions. and the graceful
and eloquent character of his utterances

and on other similar occasions.
