Immigration Problems.

The House immigration committee will soon report a bill designed to re- strict immigration, and it will certainly he efficient if Congress should be so shortsighted as to put it in operation.
 Zach immigrant admitted under it must have s25. and if he has more than one child he must have $50. Nor is that all-he must be able to read
 English or some other tongue. These conditions would exclude two-thirds of fthe immigrants from Russia and south ern Europe, from whence come three fourths of our immigrants at present. X This blow will fall heavily on the sn1th- especially this district which

Mme. Bernhardt, Trust Buster.

The versatile Sarah, or as they say in France, the Divine Sarah, is in Texas, where she is teaching that per plexed state how to defy trusts. She is tenting on trust ground of the Waters-Pierce sort, and that is the worst sort, excelling even the beef trust in monopolistic features. Texas, too, is afflicted with theatrical trust, and at Dallas the trust closed all the atre doors against her. So Mime. Bern hardt appeared in a tent, and 11,000 Texans turned out to greet her and to defy the theatrical trust. What pro- portion came to see Camille and what part of the vast audience simply desired to hit the trust between the eyes, is not known.
 In Austin heavy rain fell on the date of the Bernhardt visit, and dele gation of citizens took "the matter in hand. That is to say, they looked the trust straight in the eyes, and the trust surrendered rather than to defy that stormy night public sentiment
 All in all, the Bernhardt tour in Texas is proving eminently useful. As a trust buster the great actress is a success. She is solving state prob lems off the stage and social problems on it. She is working double shift, and she scores readily both in states manship and In the mimic art.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press
 If man married a rich wife probably it would be just his luck to go and die.
 A man gets along with his landlord al- most as comfortably as with his wife s relatives.
 A girl is going to have a good time at the stupidest kind of party If she is go- ing to wear a new dress at it.
 It would be much easier to be good if you thought 1t was smart to keep any body from catching you at il.
 You have to understand human nature mighty well to know that other people aren't any bigger fools than you are. 4

The merchant and business man will be in the stream of flowing gold, while the property holder will reap his reward in advanced values
 And this great work of the Tennessee company will not iniure single one of the smaller iron or coal companies, but will inure to the benefit of each and every one of them If any of them need money to keep up with the procession of Improvements so much easier will it now be able to get 1t. Money goes with money. The eye of the financial world is upon the Birmingham district since the new Tennessee party have come into 1t with their millions. They throw no money away They see practical and large profits in the manufacture of iron and steel and the finished products from the same here; and others will now rush in to share in the same lines. Indeed their coming means that every other iron and coal company in this district, well managed, has had added twenty per cent to it's value of thirty days ago.
 Indeed everybody everywhere knows that there is something doing in this district now and that 1t will continue.

 north, relating how starving tribes on the Chukchis peninsula at the extremity of Asia assembled to die. They gathered on the snow-covered plains and in the darkness of the long arctic night voted for death. Imagine the utter loneli- ness of their plight the horror of their surroundingsi The dreary waste of snow ard ice that enveloped them was not the least of their sufferings for hunger gnawed at their vtals and despair gripped the hearts of those sayages driven to the last extremity. Fathers slew their families and then committed suicide. In all that expanse of frozen land there was none to lend assistance, but far away the sun was shining on people who were happy and provided with all that is best in life. The scene might serve for a picture of the ultimate fate of man, when as- tronomers tell us the world shall be wrapped in ice, the sun shall expire and earthdwellers shall perish miserably in eternal night.
