ROBERT G. lNGERSOLL

When Robert G. Ingersoll passed out
fish speaking orator in all the world.
Many people are Of opinion that he
misused his great powers, but few
will deny him their possession. He
was full Of virile. aggressive, original
thoughts, which he clothed In graphic,
forceful and beautiful language He
was an artist in choosing. grouping
and shading words. He was an ad-
mirable elocutionist, and great actor.
He knew how to rub the smell of the
lamp from a written speech, and how
to memorize it so perfectly as to d.
vest it of all appearance of being the
offspring of preparation. He knew
how to ming1e pathos with humor,
philosophy with passion, and analyt-
zeal logic with singing invective.
The art of which he was great mas
ter is passing away. There are few.
u any, public speakers in this country
aoday, who hold the same rank in
rAqblic estimation and influence as or
afprs that was held by Clay, and Web

Sumner, and Yancey, and Beecher, and
Chaplin, and Baker, and Starr-King.
in the times in which they lived.
This is due in part to the fact that
the great. burning, living issues Of for
ty years ago have passed away. and
forests grow above the graves Of those
who persisted amid the shock of arms
in order to secure freedom to the slave
and life to the nation. An eloquent
speech is as much the child of the oc-

Washington. Aug. 1.-The investigation
Commissioner General Of immigration sar-
gent has ordered into the matter of unde-
sirable immigrants becoming public charges
has developed some startling facts.
The Commissioner General to-day received
a report that no less than eco of the poorer
class Of foreigners who landed at New York
during last year are now inmates Of the
penal and hospitable Institutions of that city
and State.
The same report also states that 5000 peo-
pie Of the same class were sent back to
Europe during the year. and that. Judging
from the number which have been held up
so far this year. the number mentioned Is
going to be exceeded.
These figures are only part OF what the
whole investigation is likely to disclose
said MIR. Sargent to-day. "and have no
doubt that the other big cities are going to
show similar condition
.The condition Is certainly starting. and
We have decided to make the matter Of un-
desirable aliens landing even more stringent
than ever. We are now somewhat ham
pered by the looseness of the law, but GER
tain changes have been suggested which are
likely to mend matters.

Hereafter 1t is our intention to try and
have every person attempting to come here
examined by United States Marine Hospital
Service surgeons before they are allowed

going to curtail the influx Of sickly people,"
Investigations made by agents OF the
United States abroad have disclosed the fact
that In nearly every Province of every coun-
try In Europe the steamship companies
have agents making all sorts or promises to
get people TO come to this country. many
Of whom their agents know are going to be
refused admission. simply to sc; the pass-
age money.
The matter has been called to the atten-
ticn OF the foreign authorities, an6 II Is said
that many arrests have followed.
