The First Immigration Act.

The first immigration act was pass
 ed in 1864, and that was to promote
 and not restrain 1t. This act was re- pealed in 1868. But several of the
 states passed immigration acts and established immigration bureaus of their own and drew immigration there by. On August 3, 1862, the first re- strictive act was passed, but only to
 bar out criminals, the insane. paupers, etc. Head taxes were imposed as a fund for relieving the distressed, etc. Foreign convicts (non-politica)l luna | tics, idiots, and those likely to become public charges, were to be returned at | the expense of the owners of the ves- | sells which transported them. The Sec | retary of the Treasury was empowered
 to carry out the act. with suitable regulations, and to make contracts with the state officers. A more drastic meas | ure was passed in 1sS5-February 26.
 which, however. we'll meant, it's sweep | ing character made 1t liable to such enforcement as to infiict useless hard ship. and in 'one effect at least has
 been absurd. This was in the prohibit ton of laborers coming over under contract to work and at the same time not excepting professional men or skill ed laborers. While it was aimed at strike breakers and cheap gangs. 1t was so enforced against artists. musicians. architects and even clergymen as to render ridiculous what had been achiev- ed by American statesmanship in the
 solution of the immigration problem.
 It has since been somewhat modified.
 In 1901 the act of 1882 was extended
 to other classes and to all assisted inn
 migrants" not affirmatively shown to
 be without the terms of the act. The
 act of March 8, 1903. still further amended it by requiring preliminary
 inspection at point of departure and giving the government the right to de- port the immigrant landed in disregard
 of the act within two years after ar
 rival; 1t also extended to all persons advocating the overthrow of all gov ernments and the assassination of pub lie officers
 Immigration will be brought to the attention of Congress at its next ses- sion with the view of improving gener- ally the character of the aliens admit ted and with the further object of as- sisting those states which. appropriate money to sefure a desireable class of immigrants.

ing IL there Is any way by which he
could recover damages to the team
and his expense In aiding in captur-

age, and presumably has nothing, and
1t is question whether he could re-
cover damages. The boy was bound
over to the grand Jury and II he Is
found guilty, the costs of the case will
be charged to him. but he undoubtedly
has nothing with which to liquidate.
