The Somerset j Herald. F.D.VARD SCVLL, Elitor end Frorrietor. .December. 2 lv'- How to Restrict Immigration. Fran t New York Express , It nee.la no deep discernment to per ceive that the pe .; 'e of the United Slates without ditt netion of party, are virtually unanimous for additional re strictions cpon immicratioa. It is not necessary and would hardly be timely to discusi whether additional restriction mii requisite. The pabiic verdict upon tiat question has been given, and it Is overwhelmingly in theatfirmative. The American people are tired cf seeing the wretched, downtrodden victims of for eign oppression darned upon these shores, a mass of vitiated humanity, dis tinct in almost every characteristic from the elements that have made the Kpuh lic great. Such immigration, long con tinued, would be a p;Uonous inoculation of the body politic, in addition to the present and immediate danger of thcx-e epidemics which have their breeding places among the hideously unsanitary conditions of eastern Eirope and Asia. It is riht, it is imperative that Con gress should enact the legislation neces sary to protect the country as far as pos sible from moral anl physical plague, and the exclusion of undesirable immi grants is not a matter of expediency alone, hut a duty. The paramount ques tion, thtrcfore, is: What method is best to accon.plieh such exclusion, to keep out the obnoxious and undesirable while keeping our do ra open to those who are a valuable addition U the strength and resources of the nation ? It has been sug gested that a pecuniary qualification ghould be imposed. The diriiculty w ith a pecuniary qualification is that a most desirable immigrant might land here with an empty purse, but possessed of all the mental ani physical qualities likely to make hiiu an excellent citizen, while, on the ot'uer hand, immigrants whose presjnee would be a pestilence might have the necessary amount of money. It wai p jinled out at recent hearing ia Waslnn'l-jn that the Scandi navians, w ho are ia every way desirable immigrants, seldom have much money when they arrive. Un tlie other hand, tijr.juh the assistance extended by. a wealthy syndicate in Kurope, Russia im m grants of an obnoxious tyj-e actually paupers, wi.h their passage paid to this country, have be -n able to produce the amount heretofore required at the immi grant landing place, and would probably be able to produce larr amount, even hUould the limit be raised. In a recent interview the editor of a Swedish joar iial suggested that Iiiissian immigrants were given a sum of money on the other side to show on their arrival here, and were after aid required to give the mon ey up to the agents of those w ho bad ad vanced it, to be ujed over again by other immigrants. Ti Vr, does not say tiia. sui'h is the case, but it is certainly possi ble, aud any financial condition imposed on immigrants could ia this way be readily nullified. A literary qualification would seem to be calcu!ated.to insure a good class of iu-oiigrants. The adult immigrants from the British Isles and Western and North era Kurope are able, as a rule, bo read anl write; whereas the undesirable im migrants from certain o;her regions are as ignorant as they are debased. It is w ise, therefore, for Congress to considtr w hether any immigrant over a certain ege should be admitted unless able to r-adand write with ordinary fluency in the immigrant's on Iangosg?. Should Kuch an examination be honestly con ducted it would exclude the vat majori ty of undesirable immigrants. In addition to this there should be en investigation abroad by authorized agents of the I'nited States Government re garding the character of intending immi grants American consuls abroad should receive special commissions for the per f jrmanie of this duty, and should be held to a strict r .-sensibility for negli gence or dishonesty in its performance 'j immigrant should be admitted unless he or she brings a certificate, issued by 1'aite J States Consul, to the ailect that the Consul is satisfied that the intending immigrant is a proper person to lie allow ed to land in the United States, and that the Consul has personally seen and ex amined the immigrant. The authority to isue euch certificates could be with drawn from Consuls who are situated ia regions where there is reason to fear an epidemic, as, for instance, the Russian K njiire, Southeastern Kurope, and ki forth. With this safeguard and a care ful examination oa this side of the At lantic as to physical condition and abili ty, it w ould be extremely difficult for ob l Oiioui foreigners to obtain access to the I'nited States. Prohibition In the South. Coixmeia, S. C, Dec. After an a'l night et-Siioa, the State Senate passed the Kt-auE Dispensary bill to iia third leading, this morning.

Having written about certain farms of speech tt-at will avoid the use of and as a connective, we will now carry our the same lineof thooshl in connection with a series of examples. Vie have seen thai dependent clans may often be abbreviated, thereby changing tlieir character, as ia the follow ing : " We are to have an American play by an American author and presented by Amer ican actors." Suppose we wish to see wheth er the use of aid in this sentence is correct. Tilings to be ad led must be of the saroi de nomination. ' Presented by American act ors" is a prticiji-l phrase, and if there is anything ia the sentence to wbich it may be alde.!i t must be aaotber participial phrae, and both most refer to the ame thing. If the preceding phrase were "written by aa Amer ican author," the use of ani wonid be proper, therefore upon the suppos.tioo that urate is understood here, it may be all iwed to stand. the other ban 1, if the phrase "pretested by Americaa actors" were the oa'y one, it might be regarded as aa abbre viation of tbe relative c atue "which is to be presented by American actors," in which case a cmma would be placed before ye tented, whiie and would be omitted. By tuiag the infinitive form "io be presented ' ibe result wouid be the same, and wUerever this reawaing will apply the conjunction is not needed. Let us now examiue these sentences : L "la California there is a lumbering vil lage of HO inhabitants aad there are thir teen saloons." Here there are two clauei, bat as the fact set forth ia the secoad is merely incidental it may be changed to "where or ia wbich thers are," or better still, ' with thir-een "liaong." 2. "O.ie gji mm to k-fep the city fire Tgine ia repair i;., aad we would have an immunity fn.m fire that we hive not dream ed of for years." Ani ia usei hsre to con nect a phrase with a clause, which it cai;not do witii propriety. Cuaage to '-with oae gxd man, "omitting and 3. "Co-operating with a paid department, given aa organized nucleus around wbich to rally, aud there is still op?rtu:iity for their unse!!ih servic; to bj utiliud." H.tc we have two participial phrases referring to the same subject, with a clause introduced by ani Astaesenss is obscured by tbe want of a connective between the tiro thra-' se and should be transferred to fill the place, so as to read "and thus givea." 4. "Taj saw mill is located near Treat, and shortly after work had commenced in tbe morning the large boiler exploded with a terrific report." Tbe leiding clause re lates the event and the other uhire it occur red. Real ' At thesiw-mlll (located) near Trent," without the connective. 5. "Ia Kist Andjverthe apple-trees, just bursting into b'.os'iaii, were entirely shroud.-d with snow, ti I beading them Iowa wi:h its we'gUt." Tne clause tells of tbetretH c jv.-rel w.th snow, bjaijjs which we ban t j phrase of the samj kind, oae referring to tiie tres aad tbe other to the snow.

Senator-elect Weiss some weeks seo an nounced that be would introduce a bill to npeal the Minor election law, which pro vides for the election of Presidential electors by districts. Fred A. Baker, the attorney who with Col. H. M. Duflield argued before the Supreme Court of the State, and also be fore the Supreme Court of the United States against the validity of the law, proposes to go further. Mr. Baker has carefully ana lyzed the opinion of the United States Su preme Court sustaining the law, and the re sult is be has prepared a bill, to be introduc ed by Senator Weiss as soon as the Legisla ture meets, the object of which is to unseat the five Democratic Presidential electors, who have been officially declared chosen. The districts of the Eastern districts are large. They are the First, Second, Seventh and Tenth Congressional districts. The plan is to Lave the Legislature name all electors. They would, of course, be Repub licans. It wiil not make any difference in the general result, but, if the legal point de tected by Mr. Baker is sustained, it will have a far reaching effect, and may necessi tate some national legislation on the sub ject.
