IS EEL MUST READ AND WRITE. Senate Passes the Lodge Bill to Restrict Immigration. NO ILLITERATES NEED APPLY, Only Those Versed in Letters Can Gam Admission Here. Washington, D. C, Dee. 17.—The Senate today passed the immigration bill, with a new section, providing that the exclusion shall not apply to persons arriving from Cuba during the continuance of the present dis orders there. The strength of the bill was greater than had been ox pected, the final vote being 52 to 10 As passed, the bill amends the immigration laws so us to exclude from admission to the United States all persons over 16 years of age,who can not read and write the language of their native country or some other language, but an admissible immi grant, over the age of 16, may bring in with him, or send for, his wife cr parent or gradparent or minor child ren or grandchild, notwithstanding their inability to read and write. For the purpose of testing the ability of the immigrant to read and write, as required by the foregoing section, the inspection office sha)l be furnished copies of the constitution of the United States, printed on numbered uniform pasteboard slips, each containing five lines of the con- stitution, printed in the various lan- guages of the immigrants in double small pica type. These slips shall TELLER DOESN'T WANT IT. Colorado Senator Ridicuies the Idea of-a Tariff on Silver. Washington, D. C., Dec 16.—Sen-} ator Teller, asked today for hie| opinion of the proposition which it} has been stated will be incorporated | in the new tariff bill fora duty on| lsilver, replied: “It is a very foolish | idea. If they think they can catch the silver men by such sop as that} they are mistaken. It would only! emphasize the claim of the gold! men that silver is a mere commodity. | If a duty of 50 cents per ounce was} } | placed on silver it would not raise | the price of silver a cent. The price | | of silver is fixed abroad where it is| used. The only silver that is im | ported in this from | Mexico, from which this country! makes a profit inbandling. That is} all right and there can be no objec tion to it. The silver thus imported is shipped out again. The price of| silver is fixed by the countries which use it for money and in the arts. We country is don’t use more than ten millions in arts” | The hearing to be given by the ways and means committee on the tariff question promises to attract an even greater number of business than usually gather during a revision of the tariff The committee is already whelmed by applications from rep- resentatives of the various interests who are anxious to present argu meuts for increasing the rates. The Democratic members of the commit men to Washington over- be kept in boxes made for that pur- pose, and so constructed as to con ceal the slips from view, each box to contain slips of but one language, andthe immigrant may designate the language in which he prefers the test shall be made. Each immigrant shall be required to draw one of these slips from the box and read, and afterward write out in full view of the immigration officers, the five lines printed thereon. Each slip shall be returned to the box immedi ately after the test is finished, and the contents of the box shall be taken up by an inspector before an other drawing is made. No immigrant failing to read and write out the slip thusdrawn by him shall bo admitted; but be shall be Feturned to the country whence he came at the expense of the steam ship or railroad company which brought him, as now provided by law. The inspection officers shall keep in each box at all times, a full number of these printed pasteboard slips, and in the case of each exclud ed immigrant, shall keep a certified memorandum of the number of the slip, which the immigrant failed to read or copy out inwriting. The Cuban section added to the bill provides that the act shall not apply to persons arriving in the United States from any port or place in the Island of Cuba during the continuance of the present disorders there, provided that such persons have heretofore been inhabitants of that island. An amendment by Mr. Eikins pro- posing a $10 a head tax on immi- grants coming in other than Ameri- can ships, occasioned considerable debate, and was finally tabled, as were several other amendments. The immigrant measure now goes into conference, the bill passed to- day being a substitute for the Cor- liss-McCall bill, passed by the House. Petition to Congress. New York, Dec. 16.—A petition to congress to put an end to the rev- olution in Cuba was signed by all the aldermen of this city last night and a copy forwarded to Washing ton. The petition follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of | the United States, do most respect- fully petition your honorable body to use your influence to stop the bar barities and inhumanities now being practiced upon the people of Cuba by the monarchy of Spain. Tho civilized world stands aghast at the atrocities committed there under the guise of law, many of which are committed upon citizens of this country, and therefore call | for intervention on its part, and do respectfully pray that the congress | of the United States tale cognizance | of the fact that war is now being! waged in Cuba, that the people there-| fore may enjoy political freedom, | and that the people of Cuba in their | efforts for success haye the sympa | thy and best wishes of the people! of the United Siates.” \ tee intend to marshal witnesses in rebuttal to advocate the continuance of the Wilson bill. They desire to have their side of the case included in the printed record of the hearings. It will be practically impossible for the committee to hear all the appli cants who want to present argu ments in the limited time assigned to the subject. The committee ex pects that those who appear will have their arguments prepared in writing, to be placed on file and printed. The Goyernor’s Patronaze. It is not generally known perhaps that the Governor of the great State of Missouri has not as much patron- age at his command as the Mayor of the city of St. Louis. It would be better for his personal popularity if he had none whateyer. The follow ing are the principal offices. with annual salaries to be filled by him, some of which not without the con sent of the Senate: Private Secretary, salary $2,000; Superintendent of Insurance, ealary $3,000; Adjutant General, $2,000; Warden of the penitentiary, $2,250, with furnished house, servante, fuel and light; Commissioner of bureau of labor statistics, $2,000; Excise Commissioner of the city of St Louis, $3 for each license issued. This is considered the best office within the gift of the Governor. Police commissioners of St Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, $1,000 each; coal oil inspector of St. Louis, fees said to amount to $12,000; State Geologist, $2,000; Inspector of to bacco, fees amounting probably to $1,500. The other appointments are Curators, Regents, and Managers of asylums with only a salary of $100 and expenses. It is true that he has many vacan- cies to fillin case of resignation or death. But it is a singular fact that! during the last twenty-two years, covering the administrations of Har din, Phelps, Crittenden, Marmaduke, Francis and Stone, only one judge of the Supreme court, Ephraim B Ewing. and one United States Sena tor, Lewis V. Bogy, have died while in office. And, during the same period, only one other State officer proper has been removed by death, | Gov. Marmaduke, and none have resigned. While the cfiice of Governor of Missouri is growing in importance | and dignity, yet the little patronage | attached to it is really a burden, and! it requires the diplomacy of a Tally-| rand for the occupant to go out with | the same popularity at the time he/ was inaugurated —Jefferson City) Tribune. a Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, The Best Salve inthe world for Cuts Bruises,Sores, Ulcers,SaitRheum Fever Sores, Tetter,Chapped Hands, Ch Corns, snd a xin Eruptions, an. rely cures Piles, or no pay reg is guaranteed to give pertect or money refunded.
