The immigration Problem.

For some time past the the Joint
Congressional immigration Commission
has been gathering valuable data
bearing upon this important question,
which, it is believed, will come up for
very serious consideration at the next
session Of Congress. There has, I'M
questionably, been growing feeling
among the American people that our
existing laws are not stringent enough,

Maggie is taking vigorous measures to
correct, and there is good reason to
believe that there will be, in the fu-
ture less ground for complaint on this
score
1t is folly to think that the only
peril to be guarded against by our re-
public is that of Oriental imm grafton.
Indeed there is good reason to believe
that this phase of the situation has
| been accorded a much larger share
of attention than it's Importance merit
ed. 1t cannot be denied that immi-
grafton has played a very mportan.
part in the development of our country,
and its present commanding position
among the nations
It has always been the policy of
the United States to extend a cordial
welcome to the Industrious and self
respecting immigrant, who carries with
him to this country a just respect for
the law, and an ambition to better his
condition in life 1t is not likely that
there will ever be any change in the
attitude of our country towards this
class of immigrants. At the same time
the American public is becoming more
and more aroused to the Importance
of more rigidly excluding from our
shores that class of immigrants who
are distinctly undesirable--the pauper
and criminal classes, and those afflicted
with incurable disease. There should
| also be a more rigid effort made tC
exclude degenerates, and persons OF
vicious tendencies. The facts collected
by the joint commission will show t.
| what an alarming extent the prisons
and reformatories of the United States
have been recruited from these classe:

commission will be accompanied by {

tended to the procedure governing
criminal cases. At the present time
litigation in the courts of New York
is tedious and long drawn out, and to
a greater or less extent, the same con-
dition of affairs exists in many other
states of the Union. There is good rea-
son to believe that any measures of
practical reform instituted in New
York would speedily be adopted in
other states. There can be nc ques-
ton but what public sentiment
throughout the country is aroused on
this question, and that very general
desire exists among the American peo-
pie for some radical and sweeping meas
ures of reform. The question is one
that has been, and is still being agi-
tated in various sections of the coun-
try. Public opinion is sometimes slow
to become aroused to existing evils,
but when it finally awakens to
them. results are sure to follow for,
after all, it is the dominating force in

Particularly have the people of this
country become disguised at the time
that is frequently consumed in GRIM
inal cases-especially where the pris-
oner is person of means. Under such
circumstances there is frequently al
most no apparent limit to the laws de-
lay. In this respect the procedure of
our courts in criminal matters contrasts
very unfavorably with the speed and
impartalty with which the criminal
law is administered in England. It is
not surprising therefore that the whole
American public is interested in the
reform that has been undertaken in
New York state, and INDUCES the hope
that it may be the happy forerunner
