say it does not pay and in order to
keep down expenses do not adver

The legislative committee annoint.
ed two years ago to investigate the
number of aliens Quartered noon the
State was filed Monday night of last
week'. The rerjort savs :
"The evils complained of that led
to the framing of the resolution
authorizing this investigatiou have
grown out of the too liberal immi
gration laws of th couutrv. which
in later years have invited iu many
cases no longer the thrifty Europenn
who at once became self sustaining
and a good citizen, but many of the
degraded and ignorant of the Sla
vonic countries who have not only
been a meuace to Americau work
tngmen, unbalancing the equilib
rium that previously existod bo-
tween employers aud employes, but
the burden put upon the taxpayer
for the support of theso unnatural
ized foreigners has become unbear
able aUu there is need of alarm and
quick action lest the erreat charities
that hav, been furnished through
the Christian benevolence of the
DeOnle of PennavlvAnin ha in
partdtfehed to the support of a
purely alien class instead of relier-
ing the distress of American citizens
and former taxpayers."
As a result of the inquiry a bill
providing for the return of nauDers
and indigent insane persons not
having a legal settlement within
Pennsylania to any other State or
country to which they may belong
was introduced recently in the
