GOVERNOR PATTISON TAKES IT TO TASK. (Senator Chandler Discusses the Immigration Question—Yale Students Must Curb Their Speculative Tendencies—Speaker Crisp Talks of an Extra Session. r All Power to Pattison. Tbe Pennsylvania State Legislature convened in biennial session Tuesday.

SUSPEND IMMIGRATION. This Is the Advice Offered by Senator Chandler. Senator Chandler, In an able article In the North American Review, says that protection to the World’s Fair requires the suspensiou of immigration. The Columbian Exposition at Chicago can only be protected from cholera and made a success, so far as foreign visitors are concerned, by the proposed suspension of Immigrat on. We are Inviting, and we very much desire. European visitors to the World's Fair. They ■will not come in the same steamships with swarms of immigrants, nor will they come even in steamships bringing no steerage passengers if they are to encounter tho Immigrants upon the docks of tbe steamship companies. Two currents, one of cabin passengers coming as visitors and one of immigrants, will not cross the ocean side by side. One or the other will stop, and that one should be the current of immigrants. It is certain that there Is to be some cholera in Europe. If there is also to be cholera in the Unite! States Europeans will not come hem If, however, it can be made tolerably certain, as It can by the suspension of immigration, that there will be no cholera In the T'nited States foreigners will come here in large numbers. It will be tbe safest place for them to visit; indeed, it will be the only place in the world which they can visit where they will be reasonably sure to avoid cholera. The success of the World’s Fair may be possible even without many foreign visitors. But such success will not be possible with any considerable amount pf cholera in the United States.
