Restricting immigration.


The London Times in commenting ON the
| message says:
I'VE certainly have no fault to find with
his language toward the British govern
ment or indeed with his foreign policy gen.
orally. 1t is not easy to see how the eX-
clusion policy can be enforced. The United
States would today be poorer in many of
the finest elements of it's national charac
ter. if an entrance fee had been demanded
of every settler in the early days Of cooni-
zation.'
The Times fails to note the difference in
labor circles in Europe between 1.-The early
days of colonization and now. The great
majority of the early immigrants came to
America penniless, but uncorrupted by an
archistic other dangerous notions. They
were not seeking free ground for the safe
propagation of revolutionary schemes, with
assassination means to their end but
a home for the remunerative exercise of
their industry. They were worthy men,
whose loss any country would have felt,
and whose loss Europe did feel, and at
whose acquisition citizens any country
would have rejoiced They did enter, as
the Times declares. into the finest elements
of our national character They brought
health heart. hope and good purpose with
them, and they struck their roots deep into
the soil
Unfortunately for the laboring man Of
Europe, his circles in more recent years
have been invaded by noisy agitators
preaching discomfort and murder. He has
been told that all governments are tyran-
nical and useless, and all in one way or
another should be terrorzed and abolished
America is represented to him as being as
bad as any Of the others, but by reason of
the license of conduct and speech over here
the country is desirable maneuvering
point for the general spread of anarchism.
These teachings, though Infamous, have
borne fruit. and We have been receiving on
these shores for some years now, along
with many immigrants of an excellent kind
many of a very dangerous and undesirable
kind, of whom Europe was well rid. The
President in his recommendation had this
dangerous kind in mind, and his attitude
on the subject Is that of nine out of ten
men In the United States whose attention
has been drawn to the danger. L
1t may be little difficult to keep out
these "iewd fellows of the baser sort" but
the matter is of such great Importance that
tain to be made and what encourages the
hope of success is the fact that no class
of our citizens more earnestly desires a
separation Of the sheep from the goats at
the immigrant stations than the class COM
posed of those early immigrants and their
descendants They know as we'll as the
native born the true value of America. and
favor above all things keeping it's epportu-
mites and citizenship for those in every
way worthy of them.

There is a renewal of the outcry in Cuba
against official interference with the ap-
preaching election at which president for
the island is to be chosen. 1t is charged
that number of officials are working for
Senior Palma, and this gives rise to the i'm
preston that he is the candidate of the
United States government The friends Of
General Maso. who is contesting the race
with Senor Palma, are greatly exercised,
and a committee, it is cabled, will visit
Washington to lay formal complaint before
the President and Secretary Root.
This committee will of course be politely
received. But does 1t not occur to the
Cubans that they are rather OVERRIDING this
thing of sending committees to the United
States? Now 1t is about this matter and
now about that. They seem to attach too
much Importance to the oratorical form of
approaching headquarters. The mails are
open and regular and frequent. Written
communications setting forth any matter in
detail receive attention here. and just at
this time, with Congress in session, a little
more attention than the set speeches of
visiting statesmen. For the reason that
there is regular provision for the examina-
ton Of mail matter. whereas delegations
have to take pot luck with the crowds that
fill the ante rooms of all the cabinet of
ficials
The United States has no candidate for
the presidency OF Cuba. Its only desire ia
that good and thoroughly representative
man be chosen. Senor Palma is well known
in this country, and that may account In
part for the impression in Cuba that his
election to the presidency would be es-
pecially gratifying in the United States.
He has spent good deal OF time with us

A Little Knowledge.

Wheneer the sun is smiling bright,
And makes the air delicious; ,.a
And I inhale 1t with delight, ------
Fate plays a trick capricious,
And l am east into despair.
I sorrow, willy-nilly,
And catch my breath, because, the air
Is teeming with bacilli.
And when see pretty lass,
HE me thither straightway,
And close my heart, lest Cupid pass
Unbidden through the gateway.
For poets make the matter plain.
I shall be gruff and mulish-
Love softens but to cause us pain,
And makes a man look foolish.
And quail on toast-ah, gentle bird.
Though silent In your glory,
What songs inspired by you we've heard!
What charming bits of story!
see you garnish-ed Alright,
1 turn away and shiver,
Because I've heard that you invite
Cirrhosis of the liver.
So shall seek cloistered nook
And scan the harmless pages
OF some good antiseptic book
And boil my beverages.
For everything like seems bad
OF danger most prolific.
And so I'll lead a life that's sad,
But very scientific.

They Want Reciprocity.


There is hardly an American statesman
today who does not admit that he favors
reciprocity in principle. 1t Is only in the
application that there Is any trouble. Each
industry favors reciprocity which shall
leave the protection on that industry un-
touched. The statesmen who are spokes-
men for these Industries take about the
same attitude OF course, it Is possible to
revise duties without abolishing any needed
protection Industries have developed in
such fashion in many instances that even
noteworthy change in the Dingley tariff
would not harm those interests. 1t is pre-
cisely in that connection that much Of the
opposition to reciprocity Is ineXcusable.

Pan-American Conference.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

There Is no real reason why anybody
should smile derisively at the unwilling
ness Of the Central and South American
republics, represented at the Pan-American
conference, to accept without reserve the
principle of arbitrating all national dis
putes Most of these states are fighters by
choice and by habit. They have high sense
of personal and national honor, which 1T
is possible they are disposed on some oc-
casions to exaggerate, but In what respect
does their attitude differ from that of the
most advanced nations Of the earth which
recently considered the same subject at
The Hague?
