If that is his mission it is apparent that bo is not conversant with either tho laws of this country or the sentiment of tho people. It is too late a day and too advanced an ape tor any man to como to America, to stir up prejudice against any race or sect, and we think Dr. Ahlwardt will find this out before he is here many weeks. It is given out at Washington that Speaker need and tho Republican House of Repre sentatives are likely to support a bill re stricting immigration by tho imposition of an educational qualification. This will bo welcome news to all intelligently patriotic American citizens. The time is passed when tho United States can throw its gates open to every class seeking an asylum. Even Luzerne county is now reaping the fruits of undeslr utile immigrants, and tho time has coinu when, in Eclf-preservation and injustice to the immigrants that arc now here, that a restriction should bo made.

These men could well bo snared, .and the intelligent, fair-minded men, no matter what his avocation in life, should be. .selected.

Our special correspondent at Pottsvillo yesterday gave a forecast of tho probable organization of the Hoard of Poor Directors, which, if sulteeqtient events will verify, may mean a continuance of Itopubllcan power at that institution for many years to como. This (Upends entirely upon tho classof ap pointments that aro made and tho inaugura tion of reforms during tho forthcoming year. Shoitly after tho election of Director Middleton tho HERALD pointed out tho op portunity afforded him to shed lustre upon his nana and tho Republican party, of which he is a n prcsentatlvo. Ho was advised to re pudiate the administration of Jacob Day, and join with Director Dietrich in correcting the abuses that havo crept into the manage ment of tho almshouse during tho past year or two. It is gratifying to know that Director Mid dleton has recognized the wishes of his con stituents as expressed through tho Hi:rali, and bis will be the reword. There is much room ut tho almshouse for reform, and as the responsibility for the administration of affairs in this brunch of county business is now entirely in the hands of Republicans, the members of that party In particular, and tho public in general, expect a clean, honest transaction of tho business of that institution. To accomplish this tho new Board must start out right, and the first ossential is corn intent and honest employes. Without this precaution tlio well-meant Teform ideas will be given a set-back during tho entire term, The public await the result of tho delibera tions of the Hoard of Poor Directors with imi'h interest.
