The Objectionable Padrone System.

Detroit Free Press
The padrone system is fourishing. Il
is due to 1t that the number of undesir
ables from Italy is increasing steadily. TIC
the padrones the mine operators and rail-
road contractors turn for solution of the
problem of cheap labor. With the pad.
rones they make contracts and the pad
rones have a sort of a syndicate which is
we'll capitalized and pays large dividends.
In addition to rewards from the RAILROADS
and the mining operators, the padrones
exact commissions from the men Of 20
per cent. of their wages. Frequently they
board and house them at a profit and
there is banking department, where the
laborers deposit their savings against the
time when they may have enough to re-
turn to Italy. 1t is comprehensive sys-
tenn and it has been effective; the pad
rones are all rich.

IMMIGRATION
MIR. Adams Bill TO Restrict 1t Meets With
Approval
State eIeCtlo'
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune
The House Committee on immigration
and Naturalization has recently reported
a bill, introduced by Mr.. Adams, of Penn
sylvania, which, if passed, will materially
alter the quality and check the volume of
the annual inflow of immigration. The
committee has hit upon simple and
wol kable device which discriminates
against no class or nationality, but which
insures bet er balance among the alien
elements which we must annually absorb
and assimilate. This device consists IN
limiting admissions from any single coun-
try to $4,000. When that limit is reached
the doors close automatically against all
corners until the beginning of new fiscal
wear. Such an automatic process would
be helpful in reducing immigration to a
given maximum, proportionate to our real
needs and to the capacity of the immi-
grafton service to weed out detectives and
derelicts. 1t would also insure greater
diversity in immigration and retard the
budding and colonizing in city slums
which result inevitably from the admission
of excessive quotas Of newcomers from
two or three countries.
The Adams bill has evidently been
drawn to give effect to certain recommen-
dations of the Commissioner General of
immigration, Mr.. Sargent. 1t strikes di-
rectly at the evil of which he specially
complains in bis latest report-the stagna-
ton of immigration in the seaport cities.
From this stsgnstlon come such abuses as
the "foreign colony" the "padrone" la
Dor system, the maintenance Of terrorist
secret societies and the general retarda-
ton of the processes of distribution and
assimilation. The incubus Mr.. Sargent
deplores could be partially lifted by le-
ducing the pressure from countries which
in recent years have cent us an embarrass-
ing excess of raw material for citizenship.
The limitation proposed in the Adams bill
seems reasonable.

The Norfolk Virginian- is urging
the voters of that city not to disfranchise
themselves by fai 'ure to pay their poll
taxes. 1t quotes President Roosevelt as
follows: "Speak softly and carry a big
stick" 1t says: 1.-THE big stick in this
case is receipt for the payment of poll
taxes" The voters have found that the
"big stick" is the poll tax qualification
which was manufactured by Democratic
Constitutional Convention with which
poor men could lie dubbed away from the
polls. Nearly one-half the white voters
in Virginia fell beneath it's blows last
November.

Some of our contemporaries are becom
ing greatly alarmed at the enormous pro-
portions of the debt of the State of Vir'
ginis. 1t is much larger than the debt Of
any other State in the Union, being over
twenty-five millions of dollars. If the
Funders could have had their way, under
the leadership of John w. Daniel, and
the other older Democratic leaders In Vir-
GINA, the debt would have been not less
than fifty millions. The Readjusters and
Republicans forced readjustment of the
debt with the Democrats opposing it.

The Roosevelt Dissemination.
New York Commercial

Whatever may be the opinions or pol
iceh OF the republican party leaders, Presi-
dent Roosev4 is firmly fixed in his de-
Termination j the matter of railroad rates
legislation Ii must come. In his address
before the Uuion league club, of Phia-
delphit, justice to the individual WAS the
keynote Of the PRESIDENTS plan. No i'm
proper advantages to the poor because they
are poor, but exactly the came advantage
that the man Of lArger means will receive.
The railroads must do justice and mnst be-
given justice. The principle of it is I'M
doubted, the president derlarce, Int the
details must be Arranged bv clngr 81. In
temperate. resoule fashion in some body
like the interstate, commerce must be
lodged effectively the power 10 discover in
justice, in, quality, evasion of law and to
regulate, to setll' and to coupe.
Railroad rates are most difficult and
complicated problem. The concerns en-
gagged in interstate commerce are innu-
merabe. The phases oft presented for
consideration are manifold. Men who un-
dertake to grapple with the powers that
the president wishes congress to bestow
must be selected, with wisdom, from the
many; and they must have the knowledge
of the main principles of the subject,
with the capacity for graspng Its details
and solving its complexities. Upon this
doubt as to the capabilities of the ina
court or commission rests much of the OPP
position of the railroad officials to the prJ-
posed legislation. As it must come, how
ever, it would be much better for them t.
assist congress with the valuable know
ledge and experience than to reluctantly
remain passive now and later quietly
abide the issue. The principle of the
whole thing--justice and fairness to all
as expressed by the president, should he
remembered. A necessity exists, and it
must be supplied. The president has ad-
vanced the right idea and pushes 1t in the
right way.

The Protest Against Railroad Abuses.
Sew York Journal of Commerce.

New York Journal of Commerce.
There is no doubt that public opinion
demands a correction Of the wrongs and
abuses of railroad management, and the
managers are in no small measure re-
sponsibe for the fact that sentiment on
the subject tends TO radical remedies.
The injustice of discrimination against
some and favoritism toward others, the
infamy of rebates to powerful shippers,
helping them 10 crush competition. and
conflicts of rate-cutting that secrifice the
interests of business to the designs of rival
transportation lines or systems have gradu
ally wrought up an indignant demand tor
increased Government supervision and
regulation, that the highways of commerce
may be open to all on equal terms.

Public Opinion.
The neat sword-play of that arch-dip-
lomat, Secretary Hay, has more than once
made foolish the wisdom of this world,
but never with more telling stroke than
in the recent negotiations concerning the
neutrality of China. Russia complained;
China defended herself; Mr.. Hay naively
suggested that the dispute, not being of a
nature for of-hand settlement, should be
submitted to a conference of the powers.
At the same time he secured from all but
two of the powers [ Russia and Japan2 }
an agreement that the final awards of the
present war must not include violation
of China's territorial integrity. Russia will
be wise to give herself pause before she
again protests.
