That only genuine Republican morning paper of Chicago, the Inter-n Ocean, has met with so much deserved prosperity during late; years, that last week it removed its quarters into a building of its own, and now has one of the best offices in the city and one of the best located.

Kemmler was not electrocuted last week, after all, as at the last momerit the U. S. court interfered with a writ of habeas corpus, and now the case will have to go before the Federal courts, for examination. Kemmler, himself, is without money or friends but disinterested parties are making the fight against death by electricity on the grounds that ills a cruel method.

The Fowler and Kentland papers now state that the announcement that the times for the senatorial and judicial conventions had been fixed at May 29th was a mistake, as that day had only been thought of, but not settled upon. We are glad to learn this fact, because it would have been iminent- - ly unfair 1 and improper to have neglected to consult the wishes and convenience of Jasper county in this important matter. And furthermore we are glad the matter is still open for discussion and settlement, for we hope some later period for holding these conventions Still be selected. In fact, we are much disposed to believe that these conventions should not be called until after the calls for the state andjcongressional conventions are issued, thus allowing an opportunity for the people to choose delegates to these conventions at one and the same .time. The convenience of the masses of the people should be consulted in these matters, to the end that they be not called upon to devote too much of their time to attending conventions. The tariff reformers who are always reiterating that the tariff is a tax, and paid by the consumers are requested to give their attention to this extract from the Birmingham, England, Post, a free trade organ, in reference to the McKinley, tariff bill: The bill has yet to pass the ordeal of Democratic criticism, but

as the Democrats are iri a minority they are not likely to effect any father material modification in it; and if the measure ever becomes a law, which many persons are inclined to doubt, the maximum relief which it can give to English steel-rail producers will not much exceed $4. or 16s. per ton. * * * In other lines our position is likely to be worse under the new bill than under the old one, our manufacturers of woolens, worsteds, carpets, etc., can hardly fail to suffer severely under the augmented duties recommended by the ways and means committee. The points in this quotation that deserve special notice, are that the Post plainly acknowledges that the proposed reduction of the tariff on steel-rails will be a “relief” to the Eugli-h tnalrnfacturc', while the increase'of the.duty o:i woolen goods w ill add to the burdens* of the Britons. The American freetraders may deceive themselves, perhaps, with the doctrine that the consumers pay the tariff, but the foreign manufacturers know very .well that the doctrine is not true.

A NEW IMMIGRATION BILL.

Dis «t iit rrsrttr. £ ItimPrbltiblorj Legislation NeededNew York Press. (Saturday.) Congressmen Owen and Slump and Senator Squire of the Sub-Committee on Immigration returned to Washington yesterday. Mr. Owen, the chairman of the committee, appeared to be feeling particularly happy over the result [of - the investigation, and lie told a Press reporter—that he intended to introduce an immigration bill in Congress within the next two weeks. ■ • 11 . ’‘The bill,” he said, “will recommend a radical change in the alien contract laws. Probably five hundred immigrants come into this.country every week in violation of the intent of the Contract Labor law, yet, under the present lettter of the law, it is impossible for the inspectors to detain them. There will have to lie a system of inspection on the other side of the water and the law must be changed so as to compel the return of immigrants coming into the country in violation of the law.

The bill will also provide that the Secretary of State shall forward to our consuls monthly the condition of our labor to the end that if there is no call for labor immigration will lose much of its stimulus, as these' people will not be so likely to come in the face of an already overstocked labor market. Without question New York and New England are suffering from the influx of immigrants termed ‘birds of passage,’ who stay a season, or at the most a few years, and then return to Italy or elsewhere with their earnings and becoming princes. We propose to show that in the months of April and May, this year, more Lilian fifty thousand Canadians will enter the New England States and will return home in the fall. The Italians in New York and the Canadians in New England have,, supqffrroted American unskilled -labor almost entirely, and have driven our people to seek other pursuits. It is apparent tliat this influx hits very materially decreased the wages of our laborers, and we hope to provide a measure which will permanently cure this evil.

‘‘ln framing this measure we have to consider tliat the character of our immigration is changing from a class wholly desirable to a class a very large percentage of which is not only undesirable, but pernicious in its effects on our wage system and our civilization.” “We do not need prohibitory, but discriminating, legislation. No immigrant should be permitted to land who does not come here with the desire to build up a home. The privileges of our institution should not be continued to any immigrant who after a certain time, fails to become an American citizen.” The committee obtained its. most valuable information in regard to the violations of the Contract Labor law at its secret sessions. The members of the joint committee will decide whether this information shall be made public.
