Nothing, so far as I can see. Cres-

Its home and much credit Is due the

the company and we predict that
as usual, the greatest town on
earth will continue to lead while
others follow.

English, Welsh, German and
Scandinavian farmers and me-
chanics predominant, and paupers
and undesirable material are
carefully winnoWed out. By
these means the class of immi-

their number increased.
The contrast of this system
with the lax methods pursued by
this country is striking. The re-
suits are also sure to be as strik-
ing, unless a speedy change in
the policy Of the United States
is inaugurated. And one of the
changes that would be most effec-
tive is to restore to consuls the
power to discriminate among i'm
migrants. Instead of being
weakened this power should have
been enlarged and the regula

ANOTHER HoLDup

Comptroller Kelley refused to
approve the bills of the County
constables and justices OF the
peace in Wilmington, and re-
turned them to the Levy Court
for investigation. His reasons
were that there was large num-
ber of cases and only about eight
per cent. of them had been held
for court or fine imposed, the
rest being dismissed, but costs
being charged; and that the wit
nesses in each case, almost in
variably numbered five, no more
nor no less. One of the justices
takes exception through the
press and claims that his bill is
correct, but admits that he fol
lowed the custom and charged
fees for five witnesses, while
"some cases had only two and
some dozen. !" It seems to US
that this explanation does not
explain. AS we understand the
conditions, the justices of the
peace have to go over their dock
cts, case by case, to make up
their bills. These dockets show,
or should show, the number of
witnesses summoned for each
case, and it would be not much
more labor to make the bill ex-
aetly right. 1t may be that five
is a fair average, but if SO the
Justice and constable would not
be loser, and the record would
be straight to have the bill cor
rect. None other of the officials
have noticed the Comptroller's
veto publicly. The bills may be
just, but some Of them look
"monstrous big"

coNsULs AND IMMIGRATION


The London correspondent O.
the New York Tribune in a letter
to that newspaper gives a rea
sonable explanation of the grea
increase of undesirable immi
grants to this country. He as
cribes it largely to the new law
passed by the last Congress re
gulating immigration to the
United States. 1t was intended
as reform law, but in it's prac
tical operation it has proved to
be exactly the opposite.
Under the old law the consuls
andconsular agents Of the United
States were charged with the
duty Of winnowing out the chat
from the immigration wheat.
They were empowered to object
to the transportation of any i'm.
migrants to this country whom
they. thought Objectionable.
They were required to scrutinize
every immigrant list and sign
every paper, and no immigrant
could be admitted to this country
without the consent of the con-
sui at the port from which the
immigrant sailed. If the consul
thought that the immigrant was
a pauper and likely to become
charge on charity, or if he
had reason to think that the
immigrant was criminal or
came from a district infected by
some epidemic, it was the con-
sul's duty to object to his
transportation, and this objec-
tion was final.
The new law removes this safe
guard. 1t makes it optional with
the steamship agents whether
they shall submit full lists of i'm
migrants to the consul at the
port of embarkation and obtain
his official consent before sailing.
AS a consequence steamship
companies can fill up the steer
age Of their ships with any ma
terial they choose and trust to
the lax administration of laws on
this side of the ocean to land it.
Some of the Objectionable immi-
grants are stopped here and sent
back, but a large number of
those who were formerly stopped
on the other side succeed in
avoiding all restrictions and in
soon becoming a charge upon
the country. The old law was
considered one of the best safe
guards against undesirable i'm
migrants this country ever had
and its impairment by Congress
was probably the result of a mis-
understanding.
The mistake the United States
is making in this matter of i'm
migration is strikingly brought
out by comparing it with the
course pursued by Canada. The
latter country is inviting immi-
grafton, but not indiscriminate
immigration. Experienced Off
cials, the Ty'ibune's correspon-
dent says, are in charge of the
service and immigrants are sub
jected to rigorous investigation
before they are allowed to en-
bark for the their voyage across
the Atlantic. The best kind of
immigrants are sought out and
and as a consequence
there has been a marked i'm
