Currency Reform.

More work for Mr.. Aldrich. and more
anxiety for the business world. Such at
least is the purport of an interview with
Jacob ii. Schiff. the New York banker
He is quoted as follows:
1T is particularly hoped that with the
tariff out of the way the solution of the
currency problem will he sought with
energy. for il is already feared that
unless this question is promptly dealt
up new fuel. which in times to come
will bring on another confiagration
The report of the monetary commission
is eagerly awaited.
Mr.. Aldrich is at the head Of the
monetary commission. and. with the
commission. spent some time In Europe
last year investigating money problems
there. No announcement has as yet been
made of the extent and value of the
Investigations. There was an intimation
when the co9mission returned that an
other visit abroad might be necessary.
Following this came a report that Mr..
Aldrich would visit a number of cities
In this country and discuss the currency
question with representative financiers
and commercial bodies. that before form
ulsting a bin for presentation to Con-
gress he desired to acquaint himself
thoroughly with sentiment at home on
the subject.
Undoubtedly, as The Star stated at the
time in mentioning this report, such a
tour by Mr.. Aldrich would reward him
for his trouble and serve the public in
terests. A reformed currency is quite as
necessary as revised tariff. Makeshift
currency legislation has produced some
unhappy results. Both parties desire a
change. and both are represented on the
monetary commission. But as yet there
is no plan commanding general support
AS on the tariff question, there are wide
differences of opinion about what should
be done. eastern bankers advancing ideas
radically opposed to those advanced by
middle stare and western bankers.
If Mr.. Aldrich and his associates on the
commission can bring order out of the
confusion they will perform a great serv-
ice by doing SO. Such legislation will
appropriately follow the new tariff legis-
lation: and with a new tariff law and Q
new currency law. both satisfactory to
the business world, we should enjoy pros
porous sailing for years to come.
Mr.. Schiff blows the trumpet Of alarm
a little too loudly. AS banker Of inter-
national reputation his words carry far.
and maybe he did not intend to raise
goosef1esh. That something should be
done is beyond challenge, but that if it is
not done promptly we shall find our.
selves in the thick of another panic may
be questioned. Warnings carrying short
time limits are sometimes dangerous
The approach of railroad locomotive,
or an automobile. or a cart driven by a
butchers boy. justifies them. but not such
a matter as Mr.. Schiff presents. Still 1t
will be we'll If Congress next winter
tackles the subject resolutely and with
results.

Keeping Out Undesirables.

| Mr. William Williams, the new commits
sioner of immigration at Ellis Island,
has taken hold Of his duties with an en-
ergy which promises results in the bet
| terment of the service. Yesterday he
| issued an order to all inspectors to the
| following effect:
TT is necessary that the standard of
| inspection at Ellis Island be raised.
| Notice hereof is given publicly in order
| that intending immigrants may be ad-
viSed before embarkation that our immi-
grafton law will be strictly enforced, and
| that those who are unable to measure
up to its requirements may not waste
| their time money in coming here. only
| to encounter the hardships of deporta-
| ton
| 1t is comparatively unimportant from
the American point of view whether un-
desirable immigrants are prevented from
entering the country at this end Of the
line or at the other; whether they are
sent back after arrival here or are
checked from sailing in Europe. What is
| chiefly desired by the country today is
that. as the commissioner says in ex-
planation of his order. we may lessen
the number of low-grade immigrants. A
brief study of our crime annals, brought
to a fresh climax yesterday by the ar
rest of large gang of Italian counter
feiters in New York city after a desperate
fight, will convince any observer that
we are suffering severely as a people
from too great liberality in the admis-
sion of undesirable aliens.
The checking of the objectionable immi-
grant on the other side is chiefly de-
sirable in the interest of the more hui
name treatment of the unfortunates who
are incapable of passing our tests 1t
has been often charged that the United
States suffers from the enterprise Of the
steamship companies. which offer premi-
ums to great numbers of people to come
to America who are unable to maintain
themselves here. The United States had
undertaken to discourage this line Of busi-
ness by forcing the companies to carry
back free all such rejected would-be i'm
| migrants. but this has not sufflced to
| put a stop to the processes of working
| up business in which, it is well known,
practically all of the transatlantic COM
panies are now engaged. It may be that
Commissioner Williams new order will
have the effect of throwing back upon
the steamship companies a sufficient
number of unfit applicants for admission
| to cause the corporations themselves to
adopt better means on the other side in
selecting their passengers.

The Tariff Vote.

carry a patriotic favor as we'll as relief
to the people. Let 1t be sort of 4th of

taking the place of rhetorical figures. Let

Wigs? Far be 1t from the masculine
mind to charge the feminine fashion with
this deception. A wig is one thing, and
a switch Is another. It is like the high
heel. to give the appearance OF greater
height. It is-it must be said-even like
the supplementary color on the cheeks.
If the st. Louis schoolma' am insists and
others follow her example the rat may
go. And it will not be mourned by the
men. and its departure may be relief
even to the women.
