SENATOR SCOTT on IMMIGRATION,
HE WOULD CHANGE THE LAWS TO EXCLUDE
ALL WHO DO NOT COME HONESTLY TO
BETTER THEIR CONDITION.


Senator N B. Scott of the Republican National
Committee, said yesterday that he thought the i'm
migration laws of the country needed reforming.
and he continued;
The immigration laws should be so changed that
all persons who come to this country with malice
and murder in their hearts should find it impossi-
BILE to enter the country welcome all good immi-
grants who come here for the purpose of renounc-
ing their fatherIand to become American citizens.
/ do not believe that those immigrants who come
to these shores only to amass fortunes return
home should be permitted to have any voice in our
government,
The object of the immigration laws is to furnish
an opportunity to the poor and downtrodden of all
lands to find home and become attached to their
adopted country. This country is not an asylum
for murderers, anarchists and thugs The immi-
grafton laws not intended permitting all
the undesirable people of foreign lands make
this country rendezvous for their evil purposes.
do welcome the honest immigrant however:
the Immigrant who comes here to make his home,
to rear his family, educate his children and become
2 factor in this free Government. Such immigrants
not only add the wealth, but bring vigor and
character to the population.
The immigration laws should be so reformed that
none but honest well-intentiOned persons should be
admitted I do believe in allowing contract la
borers to be admitted to this country. 1 have al
WAYS favored union labor, and it is unjust to per-
NIT contract la Dor to III competition with the
protected wage workers OF this country.

HANNA ON THE CHINA CAMPAIGN.
SAYS THAT TO BLAME THE ADMINISTRA-

GREATEST IDIOCY.

Senator Hanna said at the Republican National
Headquarters yesterday that the anti-imperiasts
seemed to want to hold President Mckinley re-
sponsfbe for the Boxer uprising in China. now
mat the great peril in China appears to have been
averted mainly through the firm and intelligent
intervention of the Administration. His attention
had been called to passage in Mr. Boutwell, S
speech at Indianapolis Mr.. Boutwell, said:
The troubles in China have been aggravated by the
the Philippines II was a menace to the Chlnese
Empire and has led TO the revolution In China ana
nut the missionaries and Ambassadors IN peril or
their lives.
Commenting upon Mr.. Boutwells statement. Sen
ator Hanna said
This is certainly antl-imperialism run mad. The
ltical. between the Philippine troubles and the
Boxers insurrection could only enter the brain OF
who has brooded over subject until his rad
has become monomania. The Boxers movement
Spain was ever heard dreamed of. The Boxers
purpose is to rid China of all foreigners, and
their animosity has been far less strong against
the Americans than against the Germans. English
Japanese and some other nations. The Chinese
have shown intention, ever since the Japanese
war in 1894. to extirpate all foreigners. and the
Boxers movement has been in steady progress
ever since then. 1t has had no more to do with
Philippine trouble than with last years eclipse
of the What has our war with Spain TO do
with the partition of China? And have we not
shown very clearly that this Nation alone among
the great nations has absolutely no desire or in
tentOn to take part in the partition of China?
The idea that our being in the Philippines the

The Drift.

-Four years ago 48 more electoral
votes would have elected Bryan.
To be elected now he must get
that many votes in addition to
those he had in 1896, and if he
loses any Of his former votes he
must get enough in addition to
make up tor che loss.
In 1896 several States on each
side were very evenly divided. A
slight drift would have sent them
over the line. Everything depends
now, therefore, on the direction OF
the drift. A small majority in a
State is safe if the drift is in the
direction OF making it secure.
The Vermont election indicates
that what drift there is is towards
Bryan. The Democrats are indis-
putably stronger in Vermont now
than they were four years ago.
What light does that throw on the
possibilities in other States2
The indications are that the Re-
publican vote in Vermont has
fallen off about 10 per cent as COM
pared with the corresponding elec.
tion in 1896, while the Democratic
vote has increased about 70 per
cent.
Indiana has IS electoral votes.
In 1896 the Republican vote there
was 323,754 and the Democratic
3oS,573. II the Republicans lose
10 per cent and the Democrats Paln
I6 per cent the Republican vote in
Indiana this year will be a9I,379
and the Democratic 357573, leav-
ing a Democratic plurality OF
63,o83.
A similar process would give the
Democrats Delaware by AL, West
Virginia by Is,8aa, Kentucky by
56,398, Ohio Oy 8o,5 SOL and North
Dakota by 283.
Here are 62 electoral votes that
Bryan did not get in 1896. II he
should get them now he could
afford to lose vote in California
and in Washington, and still he
would be elected by z73 electoral
votes to 2I4.

POLITICAL NOTES.
The yellow Peril.

It is generally believed by those
who are in the best position to
Judge Of what is going on, that
Hanna has closed a deal that will
bring ample funds to the Golfers Of
the Republican National Commit
tee, 1t is believed that bargain
has been closed whereby the men
who are interested in railroad
building in China are to furnish
the Republican committee with
ample funds to run the campaign,
in return for which the 2 dminis-
tration will insist upon maintaining
an army in China and using its in
huence with the other powers to
induce them to cooperate with US
in setting up a government IN
China that will be subservient to
the foreign invaders, and nothing
more than a mere puppet in their
hands.
Ifthe above program be success
fully carried out the various na-
tions will be obliged to maintain a
large army in China perpetually to
guard their investments and to
constantly overawe and coerce the
Chinese rulers. It will mean the
Egyptianizing OF China with its
four hundred millions Of patient
industrious cheap laborers, and the
utter degradation OF white labor in
Europe and America.
The Introduction OF railroad:
and the factory system in China
will prove to be the most stupen.
dous Of all time. II the Chinese
be LETT to themselves and not CO.
creed by the powers, Western
methods will make slow progress
in China and the yellow peril may
be averted for centuries. In the
meantime, il the people Of America
follow religiously in the footstep!
Of the fathers Of the Republic, the
white race will multiply into hun
dreds Of millions on the Westerr
hemisphere, and the white race anC
Christian civilization will dominat,
two-thirds OF the earth and tn,
peril Of ruin from Asiatic compe
tition and oil being ultimately sub
merged in Asiatic darkness will
forever disappear.
