BAR THE ILLITERATEs.

a REASON HAS BEEN SUGGEST
"A ed for the senate debate on the IL
literacy provision of the new immigra-
ton bill. 1t is stated that all of the
large steamship companies interested
in transporting steerage passengers
from Europe have joined in creating
and maintaining powerful lobby in
Washington. The avowed purpose of
this lobby is to prevent the enactment
of any legislation which might tend
to check the flood of immigration, no
matter how undesirable ii may be-
Such Hobbies have accomplished much
in the past, but The Herald is optimis-
tic enough to hope that this one will
not be able to eliminate the education
al test from the new measure. The
necessity for this provision is appar-
emit from a glance at the immigration
figures. During 1901. 4S7,91S foreigners
were landed in the United States as
immigrants. OF this number nearly
120, 600. or more than 2S per cent, above
the age of IA years. were illiterates.
That is to say, they could not read
or write single word in their native
language. From the data already at
hand it is apparent that the iIliteracy
percentage for 1902 will be even greater
than that of last year. 1t is hardly
necessary to argue that the illiterate
does not as a rule make a good citizen
The man who hasn't enough ambition
to learn to read and write can hardly
have enough ambition to do his part
in unfolding the institutions and the
welfare of the country Of his adoption.
More, the iTiterate is willing to work
for almost nothing, thus shutting out
the American laborer, who is entitled
to the first chance to work. We have
a tariff that protects the manufactures.
1t enables him to sell his products at
figures far beyond the cost of produc-
ton and which absolutely prevents
competition from abroad. The labor
ing man has nothing to sell except his
labor
Is he not entitled to some protection.
also? We have enacted legislation by
which the Chinese laborer is denied
entrance to this country. The exclu-
sion law is just and right. 1t is of
special benefit TO the west, whieE
would quickly be overf1owed by the
yellow peril if the bars were raised.
Now it is well within the bounds of
reason to say that unrestricted Chi
nese immigration would be no greater
detriment to the west than the unre-
stricted immigration of ignorant for
eigners, the Offscourings of Europe, is
to the east. They are pouring in there
by the hundreds of thousands to work
in the coal mines, in the fields and the
factories and the mills, and they are
driving the Americans out or forcing
them to adjust their expenses to new
and lower schedules.
The Pacific steamship lobby fought
Chinese exclusion just as hard as the
Atlantic steamship lobby is fighting
the restrictive provisions in the new
BILL The Pacific lobby was beaten.
The Herald sincerely trusts the same
fate will overtake it's eastern comrade.

the other day chance to decide be-

1t is perhaps unnecessary to say that
the prisoner didn't go to Boston. He

COL. BRYAN'S VISIT

Was Made Especially Pleasant and
 Entertaining by New Haven
 Friends.
 Hon. W. J. Bryan was visitor in New Haven again yesterday. MT. Bry- an was met here by MT. and Mrs. Philo S. Bennett He was accompanied by Miss Ruth Bryan, who has been with her father on his present eastern trip. Col. Bryan arose early yesterday morn ing and all the members of the party who had spent the night at the An santawae club took bath in the surf at Savin Rock. The tide was high about o'clock and conditions were ideal for an early morning plunge.
 In regard to the platform adopted by the State Economic League, MT. Bryan said:
 Tt is a good platform in the main. The demand for direct primaries and for voting machines are commendable because these things give the people g. direct vote and second because they prevent fraud.
 "As to the election of senators no lengthy statement is called for because there's really nothing to be said against electing senators directly by the peo- pie if any one believes that govern ments derive their power from the just consent of the governed.
 Mir. Bryan was asked to discuss the rotten borough" system which prevails in Connecticut. He said:
 There is really no reason why, the vote should be taken according to land instead of according to people unless your soil has more sense than your population. To say that a town con- taining a few hundred people should have the same representation in state legislature as ac ity of 100000 is trav- esty on representative government and reflection on either the good sense or , the good intentions of the men who ad- vocate it.
 Colonel Bryan called on his friend, Alexander Troup later in the day. The party drove about the principal streets of the city and enjoyed the view of New Haven and vicinity from the top of East Rock park and then drove to Fair Haven to call on Rev Alexander F. Irvine, pastor of the Pilgrim Con- gregational church, but did not find him home. Later they returned to the Ansantawae Colonel Bryan will leave town this morning for New York and this evening will take a sleeper for Maryland At Mountain park in that state he will on Saturday address the l Chautauqua assembly, which is in ses- sion there After that he will go west.
 One of the pleasant features of MT. Bryan's call on MT. Troup was the in- troduction of the editors and reporters of the Union to Colonel Bryan.

ans a glowing tribute for the great fight they had fought in defense of their country and expressed the hope and trust that they would fight as glorious fight for the Leader of the forces of man.
 The grand march around the encamp- ment to the flag staff, where the roll of dead was read and the flag saluted, occurred at 1 o'clock. The procession was in charge of Vice President Albert 4.

MEIGs LODGE, MADISON.

Meigs lodge is of much interest to wis., itors there It is a fac-simile of the mouse tower as seen by F. D. Meigs, of New Haven, in 1895 and built by him the same year at Madison. The story connected with the erection of the origi- nal Mouse tower is as follows:
 Like a silver thread flows the Rhine above Bingen, and, on its vine-covered hanks, villages and country seats are scattered about, which form most pie turesque and beautiful sight. But be- low Bingen 1t rushes furiously on through the hills and dashes against the rocks that stand in it's way, as if they wished to stop it's headlong speed. At the entrance of this beautiful valley,
 just below the smooth, quiet and the strong and foaming part of the river stands on small island tower called the 'Mouse-tower."
 The following tradition explains the origin of it's name;
 Hatto. archbishop of Mayence, is said
 to have kept a well-filled barn locked up during a famine, and by his good living and plenty rad excited the starv- ing people to revolt. The prelate gave orders to seize the rebels, to shut them LID in barn and then set fire to 1t. Not content with this diabolical order he added to it insult by comparing the la mentations of the poor sufferers to the soueaking of mice. In the night which followed this atrocious deed mice pene- trated into the archbishop's palace and were about to tear the flesh from off his bones. Hatto fled. crossed the Rhine and suspended his bed in the tower but in vain-the mice followed him and made him die a lingering and horrible death.
 Meigs tower is fitted up with all con- veniences for family use, and Is occu- pied a portion of each summer. It Is situated on the Clinton road in the I Hammonasset district, and the history
 of the original will be of interest tc many inquiring ones.

AFTER TWELVE YEARS.
Woman Who Disappeared Will Now be
 a Burden to the Town.


 a Burden to the Town.
 Southington, July S1.-Letters re- ceived here from Belchertown, Mass, indicate that the widow of Robert Thompson, who disappeared from here about twelve years ago, is in that place and is mentally deranged.
 Selectman Lewis says that Robert Thompson, who died about three years ago, had wife who disappeared doz- en years ago after he had had her ar- rested for assault. Thompson was a father by trade and he had little place on Wolcott mountain. After his wife left him he engaged housekeeper, the widow of Lansen Wright, to whom he willed all of his property, about $6OO' after the estate was settled. MT. Lewis was made trustee of this fund, which is almost exhausted.
 The letters from Belchertown state that a woman calling herself Mrs. Thompson is there and that she repre- sents herself as heir to an estate in Southington, where she had fine house, nice horses, etc The woman Is now at the Union house in Belcher- town.
 Selectman Lewis expects that she will be sent here for the town to care for.

MIR. THRAsHER SPEAKS.

Law and Order League Not Responsi-
 ble for Pool Selling at Charter Oak.
 S. P. Thrasher. secretary of the State Law and Order league, yesterday gave out the following statement:
 Having been asked a good many times the purpose of the Law and Or der league concerning pool selling at Charter Oak park I take this means of stating our position in the matter. This has been done so often that it hardly seems necessary to repeat it, but it proves to be, nevertheless.
 Tt is up to the citizens and officials of West Hartford to permit or prevent open violations of the pool selling law at the park. The Law and Order league will not. and, in consistency with it's character, cannot, take any hand un- less it's services are properly invoked.
 eff the officials and citizens of West Hartford want the name and disgrace of maintaining a gambling preserve, the only place in the state where out lawries are at specified seasons pub licly carried on. they must shoulder the responsibility. That Is about all there is to it.

East Haven green and Branford. It should certainly be double tracked at once, in my opinion, to Short Beach. which would eliminate the dangerous curve at which this accident occurred, and which doubie-tracking would re- uuire but about one-h half mile of addi- tiOnal track.
 ''I also recommend that. pending the double tracking of the line, the hill or bank of earth north of the curve, which exists on said track near Johnson's quarry, where the accident occurred, ba removed, so that there be a much more unobstructed view of the track than now exists at that point.
 Tt is difficult to conceive how any railroad company, much less one of the magnitude of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company, who have entrusted to their management and care the lives and safety of hundreds of thousands of people yearly, can safely rely upon the mere waving of hand or shouting by voice to convey signals to their motormen or conductors. Such a signal system is obviously crude, un- SdIS anu uauSeEOuS. 1HcIS4OIC' LSN0 ommend that a reliable. fixed signal system be adopted and placed at once in operation, so that all motormen and conductors running cars upon the lines of said company be informed of the number of cars and where they are to meet and pass the same.
 q also recommend that upon all cars run by said Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company no motorman shall | be so secluded, screened or curtained that he cannot be seen in some manner by the passengers thereof, thus prevent ing the car running itself should the motorman be taken suddenly i'll, fall in faint or be otherwise disabled.
 T also recommend that the double | truck vestibuled cars of the company be equipped with modern air brakes,
 that the same may be stopped, on ne- cessity, in the shortest possible space. Those cars weighing fifteen tons, on a wet rail, down grade or smooth track, | equipped with said brakes, would be
 more completely under the control of
 the motormen than they now are, and
 would render travel, in my opinion more secure"
