LABOR IS MAI) Penrose's Committee qn Immigra* tioii Has Important Hearing, KEEP THE CHEAP LABOR OUT That is a "Demand Which It Is Pro posed to Meet By Measures Now* Pending Before the United States j Congress. (Special Correspondence. > Philadelphia, June 10.—Every work ingman, every employer of labor, every wage earner and every capitalist must necessarily be interested in the legis lation which is now before congress ( ailing for the restriction of immigra tion. Senator Boies Penrose, as chairman of the committee on immigration ol the United States senate, presided over an interesting meeting of that commit ire a few days ago, when the Shattuck bill regulating the entrance of immi grants into this country and seeking to bar objectionable persons, was re viwed and a hearing was given rep resentatives of workingmen's organ! zations and other organizations inter ested in the restriction of immigra tion. Senator Penrose has been a leadei in the movement fof the restriction ol immigration, and he is confident that (here will be remedial legislation passed before the end of this session ol' congress. Charles H. Litchman, who was one of the organizers of the Knights of Labor, and who has been interested ic labor organizations for many years, \vas one of the star witnesses before Senator Penrose's committee. Mr Litchman spoke of the great need ol curtailing the number of immigrants coming to this country from Southern Italy, Austria-Hungary and Poland. il€ *aid he recognized the fact that this country lias grown to its present pros porous condition largely through the labor, the industry and the enterprise of immigrants who came here 30 or 4C years ago. Since 1890, however, he said, full.v five millions of immigrants have land ed in this country, four millions ol whom should never have been per mitted to set foot on these shores. He said that in recent years the un desirable immigrants have been set t lir, K in the large cities of New York Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Illi nois. and that there is serious dangei to the peace of the country and to lift and property of our citizens from the people huddled in these settle meats. He said the Knights of Labor had begun the agitation against the indis criminate admission of immigrants by bringing about the passage of the law prohibiting the importation of labor ynder contract. LABOR MUST BE CONSIDERED. This was a good move, but by far a more important measure today would be one to keep from this country the hordes of undesirable foreigners who lire coming into competition with American Übor and eudangering the institutions of the country. He siKjlte of the combinations of cap ital into trusts and the amalgamation of labor throughout the country, and with these two great contending forces it was eminently proper that the de mands of labor should be recognized by congress, so that capital should not have an unfair advantage through the Importation of cheap labor. He demanded that not only should there be restrictions at the great sea ports of the country, but that there should be a more efficient service on the Canadian border, where thousands of immigrants who have been stopped at New York, Philadelphia and Bal timore, ultimately find their way Into this country. Senator Penrose frequently Inter rupted Mr. Litchman and showed keen interest in the subject and a desire to have the committee fully enlighten ed as to existing conditions, so that he could have the hearty co-operation of his colleagues in pressing for the passage of the bill. Senator Penrose expressed the opin ion that a majority of the congress men will be favorable to the bill, but that there will undoubtedly be objec tions to some of its provisions. EDUCATIONAL TEST. The educational test, which requires an Immigrant to be able to read part of the constitution of the United States in some language before he or she shall be admitted to this country, was generally favored by those who appeared before Senator Penrose's committee. The general thought was that this restriction would bar out a large per centage of the most undesirable classes of immigrants. There is one provision of the bill which a number of the congressmen fire opposing. It is that introduced by Senator Penrose himself. It prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors within the enclosures where immigrants are detained pending examination for their fitness to enter the country. Even the chief immigrant inspector, Mr. Williams, from New York, opposed Senator Penrose in this particular. He Informed the senator that he saw no reason why the sale of beer should %e prohibited there and allowed in New York city. He told of instances in which mothers gave their children beer instead of milk from bottles. Sena tor. Penrose wanted to know if it were not true that while liquor was being freely sold, it was difficult to purchase milk at the New York sta lion. To this the reply was made that while that had been complained of Lome time before, the matter tuul been remedied. Senator Penrose has received eral thousand letters of commendation for his action in introducing thia clause for the prohibition of the sale j of liquor at immigrant stations. Theyj come from members of the Women's* Christian Temperance Unions and similar organizations throughout the country. TARTFFREFORM I Males "Skerr" at It Worse Than •< • locomotive Whlatle. In 1894 Mr. De Arinoud came home to. the bosom of his political family fresh from the halls of a congress which had labored long and hard with the ques tion of "tariff reform." He came direct to Clinton and was received under an arbor, where he spoke to the dear peo ple on this subject for two hours. The Kepublicnn had hired a Democratic court stenographer to take the con gressman's speech that it might be pre served for posterity, but after the ora tion had been delivered the stenogra pher was bought, and The Republican could never get that speech in long baud for love or money. Mr. De Ar mond spoke as one direct from the fountainhead. He came straight from Washington, where he had seen the sugar trust and George Vest laboring with "tariff reform" on the floor of the senate, and he brought with him doubt less, though not for display, Grover Cleveland's denunciation of the "tariff reform" of himself and his colleagues, branded as "party perfldy and dis honor." All over the Sixth district Mr. De Armond talked "tariff reform," and when the polls closed on the night of the electiou his majority of thousands had dwindled to less than a hundred, and it's ancient history that had Bob Lewis tried he could have been the member from the Sixth Missouri at the next session of congress. The reason for all this was that the peculiar brand of "tariff reform" ad vocated by Mr. De Armond had been working in the Sixth district, and the people were experiencing some of its peculiarities. Up in Shawuee town ship Charlie Towers was buying mule colts for sls a bead. The stock feed ers were selling tllfcir fat cattle in the Kansas City markets for about what the hide and horns were worth under a protective tariff. Calves were worth about the price of Jack rabbits, and horses sold on the streets of Clinton for $5 a head. The banks were as good as closed, and gilt edged paper could not get a hundred dollars for thirty days. Bank presidents spent their time whis pering to each other, while the cashiers whittled boxes on street corners. The mills shut down, aud there was no market for their products; the coal mines followed suit because coal was not needed at the mills. People had plenty and to spare, but no person wanted the surplus. Long trains load ed with Mexican cnttle were running through the country, and the fat steers of Henry county were not worth ship ping. Since that time our congressman has let tariff reform severely alone as a political issue when speaking his lit tle piece lo the people in this neck of the woodsnnd has had free silver,anti imperialism, antl-Americanism, down with Republican rural mail carriers and down with the trusts as his plea, but the "bants" have ceased to fright eu the niossbacks, ntid doubtless Mr. De Armond has concluded that bis an cient argument with its dire result has been forgotten, and when he comes home again he will spring it as some thing fresh upon the voters. "Tariff reform!" The dog blamed thing al most knocked this county silly the only time it was ever tried, and they say that even the mules in Osage township "skeer" at it worse than at a locomo tive whistle.—Henry County (Mo.) lie publican. What Campf The Arkansas Democrat thinks Mc- Laurin of South Carolina and the Lou isiana senators and all others who stand for protection for special inter ests should be kicked into the Repub lican camp, "where," according to The Democrat, "they belong." This Is all very well, but what about Gorman of Maryland aud Jones of Arkansas, who scotched the Wilson bill and made such a holy show of it Its own author didn't know It when it came back to the house for final action? Into what camp do they belong?— Helena World. How lo Satisfy Them. The Uulted States treasury balance shows over $2,000,000 to the good dur ing the month just past, and yet the party of calamity and misery is not content. Nothing will satisfy the men who elected Cleveland to be president but an empty treasury, a depleted re demption fund and the borrowing of mouey by the hundred millions in time of peace—that is, the Democrats are wreckers and insist that the train must be kept ditched and off the track all the time.—Salt Lake City Tribune. Will Not Forcet. Champ Clark said in a speech in con gress a few days ago that the election of Cleveland to the presidency was "the greatest calamity that has be fallen maukind since the fall of Adam." Not quite such a calamity as Mr. Clark imagines, but it was bad enough, it will be a long time before the American people forget the last Democratic souphouse administration. —Valley Mills (Tex.) Protectionist. Til e Better Plan. It would be far better to give the Cu ban producers an annuity equal to the sum of the customs duties on their im ports' Into this country than to make a breach In the existing tariff, but the sugar refining-monopoly wants that 80 per cent to add to its enormous profits secured by the cheap raw sugar pur chased in Cuba.—Camden Courier.

A young man more or less intimately acquainted with affairs at the capitol is a believer in the genu theory of dis ease and in the virtue of disinfectants.

Shortly afterward he was riding in one of the senate elevators. Senator Vest came in, leaning on the arm of his faithful attendant, Jlni Hdwards.
