expenses Of examination and detention.
Under the present law aliens who have
obtained entrance to this country illegally,
or who have become criminals or paupers,
may be deported within one year after
landing.
The Shattuc bill extends this period OF
surveillance to five years and provides for
frequent inspection Of reformatories. in
sane asylums and charitable institutions
with view of discovering whether they
are harboring aliens who have become
charges upon the public.
The bill excludes absolutely all persons
who are known to be anarchists or who
advocate the overthrow of government
by force or violence or by the assassina-
ton of public officers.
Persons who have had two or more at
tacks Of insanity are also excluded. One
of the best features Of the Shattuc bill
is that which is designed to make more
effectual the law against importing con-
tract labor by applying Il TO all who have
been induced to come to the United
States by offers, solicitations, promises
or agreements. 1t also makes it illegal for
contractors to attempt to import foreign
labor.
The anti-foreign labor law as 1t stands
is practically worthless, but the proposed
amendments would probably give it much
force and effect,

fication easier.
The bill has other provisions intended to
restrict immigration, but it's main points
have been mentioned. There has been in
recent years a marked and most unwel-
come change in the general character of
our immigration. The better classes Of
immigrants come in greatly reduced num-
bers, while there has been an alarming
increase Of that character Of immigra-
ton that is a burden and a menace to
the country.
We are receiving fewer English, Irish,
Scotch, German, French and Dutch and
many more Italians. Hungarians, Poles,
etc.
Congress has taken hold Of this matter
none too soon, and the proposed remedies
and preventives of the defects and evils
of the present law are none too strfn-
gent.
The Shattuc bill, or something like II,
will probably pass at the present session
Of congress.

Once he got to Fussing

decided to Tag her, if possible.
His old Standby warned him
against Reconstruction and
told him that Faint Heart
never grabbed off Fair Lady, so
he tackled her on a Corner
after he had known her for two
Weeks and made a Flat Propo-
sition, with the Result that he
got the Harpoon in three diff

After four Years he had
saved up a small Roll of the

him Tip on the Stock Market.
1t was one of those Tips that

SIR. Dooley In Foreign Parts.

Through the chambers Of my brsin-ipS list
slippers walk ever arm-in-arm Sir John
Falstaf and Mr.. Samuel Pickwick.-Ohver
Wendell Holmes.
Were the genial Autocrat living today,
would he not add Mr.. Dooley? Who con-
tributes more to the fund of current hui
NOR than the droll philosopher whose
sayings are upon every tongue? Who has
an audience so large and appreciative as
his? Who is so persistently quoted by the
great fun-loving public? Whose opinions
are awaited with such a relish Of antic-
ipation as those of the Sage Of Archey
Road?
Mr.. Dooley's innumerable friends will
be glad to learn that he has just sailed for
Europe In company with Mr.. T. p Dunno,
who first introduced him to the public.
It is confidently expected that Mr.. Doo-
ley's observations and experiences In for
eign parts, which win be printed in the
Atlanta Journal, will contribute much to
the gayety Of nations and will do moro ;
than the last Peace Congress to promote
an era of universal good feeling.

TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

The demand for more stringent immigra-
ton laws has been growing steadily for
several years.
II has found impressive expression in
the Shattuc bill that has been reported
favorably 10 the house by the committee
on immigration and naturalization.
This measure is an embodiment Of past
legislation on the subject. with additional
provisions for the more certain exclusion
Of undesirable classes Of immigrants.
Il increases the tax on immigra ton
from one dollar to che dollar and half
a head IN order to meet the necessary

A GREAT PUBLIC CONVENIENCE.

A very practical measure and one that
will conduce greatly to the convenience of
the public is the bill that has been in
troduced in both houses of congress to
provide for a postal currency.
A great many persons have occasion
frequently to send small sums of money
through the mails. They can now find
no more convenient or less expensive
method OF transmitting these small
amounts than is afforded by money or
ders.
To send money in this way requires
trip to the postofice or some sub-station.
Stamps are an inconvenient medium Of
exchange and are not accepted by every
body. 1t is risky to send coin or bills in
letters.
The postal currency bill gives to every
body an easy and inexpensive method of
sending small amounts through the mails.

A SONNET.
Written Upon the Bank of the Hudson.

WTIIICH OPUU ITIC baTIN OI tITS IIWuoOII'
The sun in crimson splendor sinks 70 rest.
One moment does he pause in grand descent.
With rays as from eternal fires are lent
He touches into gold the mountains crest
A crown upon this work of nature blest.
But calm in majesty and coldly gray,
The Hudson glides along his kingly way,
And girds the mountains in their wtntry
silence drest.
A solemn, silent mystery fills the air
And from the lowly ridge where mount meets
stream,
A tiny, feathery cloud OF smoke doth seem
To rise and spreading slowly disappear.
So doth the greatest work Of mortal hand
Before the work Of the Creator stand.
