ImmIgration RIII Passed.

The Lodge bill for the restriction of i'm
migration was passed by the Senate Mon
day. 1t is substantially in the same terms
as the bill passed at the last session. The
bill provides that, in addition TO the classes
of aliens excluded by the act of 1891, all
persons physically capable and over 10
years of age who cannot read and write
the English language, or some other Ian
guage, shall be excluded, but person who
is not so able TO read or write who is over
80 years of age and the parent or grand
parent of a qualified immigrant over II
years Of age, capable of supporting such
parents, may accompany the immigrant, or
the parent or grandparent may be sent for
TO come and join the family of a child or
grandchild over 21 years of age.
In making the test of illiteracy inspec-
tion officers are to be supplied with slips,
on which are 10 be printed extracts from
the constitution of the United States, each
slip TO contain from 20 to % words, printed
in various languages on numbered uniform
pasteboard. Each immigrant is required
to draw one of these slips from box, the
immigrant to designate the language in
which he prefers the test to be made, I'm
migrants failing to read or write out the
words contained on the slip drawn are to be
returned TO the country from which they
came at the expense of the transportation
company which brought them. The act
is to take effect three months after its
passage. There is no doubt about its pas
sage by the House.

Not a Tongue-Tied Governor.

Leslie II. Shaw, the Vermonter who was
inaugurated governor of Iowa last Friday,
has an earnestness of conviction and a
boldness of speech which bid fair to make
him national figure. He is Methodist
and in Difference to his wishes there was
no inaugural ball. Display was avoided in
the Inauguration ceremonies, and only two
military companies were present. The
governors father, b. o. Shaw of Morris
vile, vigorous man of 50 years, made the
journey from his Vermont home to see his
son inaugurated. Gov. Shaw did not
deem the financial issue so far a national
matter as to be without influence on Iowa,
as he said.
1t would seem, from the sufferngs
through which we have so lately passed,
that no one able to commiserate the home
less, the helpless, the friendless and the
destitute will again attempt to revolution
ize the single gold standard, the benefcent
effects of which we have enjoyed since
January, 1879. Not only the people of
Iowa, but the entire nation, is to be con-
graduated that it has at least learned the
necessity of single standard, and the su-
preme convenience, at least, of making
that standard gold. 1t has also learned the
necessity of maintaining the parity with
gold of each and every kind of money now
circulating, or that may be created. When
each form Of our money is directly or in
directly redeemabe or readily exchanged
BILE at par for gold it passes current under
every sky, beneath all flags and at all
ports. Anything short of this is an en-
barge on American commerce

liable to depositors, and attempted to en-
force the collection of the assessment lev
led upon him, on the ground that he was
cognizant of the condition of the bank
when he disposed of his stock. The trial
court accepted this view of the case, as
did the circuit court of appeals, and now
the supreme court has affirmed the opinion
of the latter court. In rendering the
courts opinion Justice Harlan said it was
evident that Stewart knew of the bank s
condition and of the speculations in which
its president was engaged, and added that
it was not intended that shareholder
should escape responsibility in such a case
where bis only intention of disposiug of his
stock is that of evading liability in case of
failure. Such a transfer was, he said,
clearly a fraud.

MIR. Bryan on Andrew jackson.


Mr.. Bryan's visit to Mexico appears to
have done him very little good to judge
from his speeches at Chicago on Jackson's S
day. After spending some weeks in a
country where the local dollar is worth
just half the American dollar and where
silver monometallism governs, he returns
TO the United States to preach that nothing
will be we'll until we get rid of the gold
standard. He bids the people rise and put
down "the money changers" those dread
full people who in the pride of their hearts
and the arrogance of their wealth prefer a
dollar that passes at its face to the Mexican
article which is all silver and not 100 cents
wide.
Secretary Gage comes in for Mr.. Bryan's
bitterest denuncation, which he can very
well afford to endure. Mr.Bryan then ap-
peals to the memory of Andrew Jackson to
strengthen him in his fight for Ii to l..
jackson was a sound money man who
never said or did anything TO encourage in
the slightest degree the belief that the fat
of the government can make SO cents 100.
AS Mr.. Bryan can read the only explana-
ton of his persistent putting forward of
Andrew Jackson as fiatst is that he be-
lieves other people cannot.
In truth, Mr.. Bryan has not grown since
1896; he is the same vociferous shouter of
an untenable theory that he was then.
He has nothing more to say than he said
then. What he said then he repeats now
with the rhetorical eXuberance of a man
who is conscious that if he does not shout
loudly he will not get a hearing. Possibly
it is dawning upon him that the Democ-
racy of the East is inclined to drop the l6
to issue and to take up one on which the
party can unite. Such an intimation is at
least common hereabouts and is accom-
panied by the further intimation that the
candidate then to be nominated will be one
who will conciliate old time elements of
Democracy in the doubtful states.

George +. Edmunds.
From the louisville Courier. Journal

From the Louisville Courier Journal
Even the telegraphed synopsis of the ad-
dress made by former Senator Edmunds be-
fore the house committee on banking and
currency shows with what remarkable
clearness and strength he put the report of
the monetary commission and deepens the
regret that so able and eminent a states
man should have felt it incumbent upon
him to retire from the public service in the
plenitude of his powers. His speech was
the eloquence of argument. In that re-
spect, if not in oratorical warmth and
splendor, it is repetition of Lowells pic
ture of Wendell Phillips:

Foreign trade went all our way during
1897, The exports of domestic merchan-
disc for December amounted to $123, 49,
743, an increase as compared with Decem-
Der, 1896, of over S7,00O,OOO For the Il
months the increase was over 93,000,0 900.
The imports of merchandise during De-
cember amounted to Sj1, ,514, 733, of which
$2l, ,1S4,5SS was free of duty. This is a
falling off in dutiable merchandise of over
SS,50O,0OO. For the II months the in
crease was about S54, 100000. The record
for the complete calendar year shows that
we sold abroad 1856, 6,OOO,O 600 more of goods
than we bought.

An interesting decision has been handed
down in the United States supreme court
recently in case involving the response
bility of stockholders in national banks.
The case arose in Lincoln City, Nebraska
where the Capital national bank failed in
1898. Twenty days before the failure the
defendant, A. p. S. Stewart, traded off his
holding of $50 shares in exchange on a
real estate deal For eight years before
1892 Stewart had been a director in the
bank. After the failure the receiver in
cluded Stewart in the list of shareholders

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of
the British exchequer, made a significant
and determined declaration in speech at
Swansea, Eng, Monday, on the purpose of
the British government to protect and
maintain British commercial rights in Chi
na His remarks were intended, evident
ly, for the ears of Russia and Germany.
The government of Great Britain, he said, l.,
did not regard China as the place for con-
quest or colonization by any European or
other power, but as one of the most hope
full centres of the future for the commerce
of Great Britainand the world, and ''the
government was absolutely determined at
whatever cost, even, if necessary-for he
wished to speak plainly-at the cost of
war, that the door should not be shut to
Great Britain" This declaration was re-
ceived with cloud and prolonged cheers
1t is position which the civilized world
will support Great Britain in taking and
maintaining.

Louis E. Kelley, of the firm of AF& LIE.
Kelley, is no longer under indictment for
grand larceny in connection with the failure
of his firm, says Minneapolis paper of re-
cent date, which adds: AT the converting
of court this morning Assistant County
Attorney Purdy moved for a nolle of the
case against Mr.. Kelley, stating that he
had examined the evidence in the case,
and had come to the conclusion that there
were important links in the chain which
it would be impossible to obtain in order
to fix the crime upon Mr.. Kelley. The
court granted the motion and ordered the
defendan: discharged and his bondsmen
released" 1t has been understood in Brat
tleboro by those interested in Kelley mat
ters that the charge against L. Z. Kelley
grew out of transfers, which were m ,la
by one of the clerks in the Kelley III %
contrary to the instructions given by L. T..
Kelley.

The ii big department stores in Denver,
Colo, put up combination and went to
the newspapers of the city with demand
for discount of 20 per cent in advertising
rates for their special benefit. The penal
ty Of refusal was to be absolute Withdrawal al
Of business. The newspapers refused the
demand, telling the combination that they
didn't intend to be dictated 10 by II out
OF 500 business concerns in the city. The
stores stopped advertising, but the fun
didn't end there, for the people didn't like
the looks Of boycott and stopped trading
with the stores. Result: the big stores
found themselves confronted with the
choice of going out of business or taking
back track. They chose the latter alter
native with commendable agility, and
wont try putting up any more combina-
tion bluffs on the newspapers just at pres
ent.

Senator Wolcott delivered his long-ex-
pected speech on the bimetallic mission to
Europe on Tuesday. While not stating this
directly, he admitted, in effect, that inter-
national bimetallism is impossible at pres
ent. He also said that if it ever is attained
it will not be at the classic ratio of Ii to !, ,
but at ratio more nearly representing the
commercial values of silver and gold-his
present idea is 20 TO !. Mr.. Wolcott re-
CARDS President Mckinley as a sincere
friend of bmetalism, but he thinks the
plan of Mr. Gage in the treasury depart
ment is direct blow at the cause. The
principal conclusion to be derived from Mr..
Wolcotts speech is that any further pro-
ceedings at the present time in behalf of
his cause are useless.
