If the rate war in which the transatlantic
steamship companies engaged We're ex-
cusively their affair." the general public might
watch its progress with entire uncOncern; but
already in its initial stage, it is producing re-
suits which cannot be contemplated without
anxiety and a sense Of Indignation The fare
has been lowered to a figure which is extremely
attractive to classes of foreigners who do not
deserve and will not receive Il welcome TO this
country, and which is bound 10 stimulate those
agencies that are always ready TO facilitate the
emigration from other countries OF their most
undesirable citizens. 1t is certain that every
competing company will do whatever ii can to
secure the largest possible share Of the traffic
for which all are bidding, and there is, unhappi-
", good reason to believe that European COM
munities will endeaYor to make the most of the
present opportunity. Meanwhile, officers Of the
United States abroad, however vigilant they
may be, are not provided by law with the
requisite means for arresting the movement,
and the authorities at Ellis Island acknowledge
their inability 10 deal with the situation which
confronts them They are OBTAINING hundreds
OF immigrants for examination, but large pro-
portion of these will be admitted in the end, in
spite OF a moral certainty that they are an OBJ
jectionable addition to our population and OF a
reasonable belief that before long they will sink
into pauperism. For the moment they have a
little money in hand, however obtained, or have
friends here who profess ability and willingness
10 take care OF them; but in many cases those
precarious resources will be exhausted
and they will become part OF the gigantic
burden which this too hospitable nation has
submitted TO bear
When n contagious disease is found or an ar
rival under contract TO work is detected, exclu-
sion is easy, and it has lately been determined
that even philosophical anarchist" can be
sent home; but the provision of the law which
was designed TO keep out persons likely TO be-
come public charge cannot be satisfactorily
applied. That is the great stumbling block we
are up against said an immigration officer on
Sunday in speaking of the arrival of the Phila-
delphia with 724 stecrage passengers; ''the law

Tar sum a standard by which we can gauge

specifically states that ii is act TO regulate

son that much is thus apparently left by design
to the discretion of the immigration officers. II

MERCY. NOT VENGEANCE.

Unless the New-Jersey Court of Pardons in
tervenes to-day the old Dutch town of Hackeu-
sack will see tomorrow the spectacle of a
woman legally done to death within the walls Of
the county Jail. This person. Anna Valentino, a
poor, ignorant Italian, killed the woman who
succeeded her in the affections of the man whoa
she believed to be her husband. The evidence
indicated that the crime was committed In 4
moment of passion caused by the taunts of her
successful rival, and strict Interpretation OF
the New Jersey law would class that as murder
in the second degree. But the jury saw tit to
convict on the capital charge, and the judge
could do nothing but deliver the death sentence.
Last week the Court of PardOns declined TO
interfere, mainly, it was believed, because of an
unwiIlingness to give what might seem like rec
ignition of sex IN criminals. To-day the court
will, it is expected, have a special session to
consider this case, and the most thoughtful and
intelligent people of the State are hopeful Of
decision on the side of mercy. In such course
the members of the court may rest assured that
they will have the support of an enlightened
public sentiment
