4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: EVENING STAU has a regular and permanent circuintion ia Washington three times larger than that of any other payer im the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it bas ne comypetitor. ‘The present Congress is likely to wrestle earnestly with the problem of immigration. A number of bills on the subject and the kindred topic of naturalization are before the body this early and others will probably be intro- duced. The evasions of the Owen act of the last Congress make it necessary to amend the provisions of the law or to enact a more sweep- ing measure. The whole matter of immigra- tion end naturalization seems to require treat- ment from a new standpoint. Most Americans desire to do nothing hastily which would tend to check the prosperity of new states and terri- tories, bat to assist the development of such communities by every practicable plan. It is to the evils of anarchism, illiteracy, physical, moral and social disease and cheap Jobn labor supplanting the enlightened labor of the re- public that our public mén should address themselves. A foreigner, as such, BO worse or better than the citizen he finds here ov bi arrival. The cry “America for America fs only wise or patriotic as it ap- Plies to the exclusion of undesirable Persous who cannot or will not assimilate with the population now in the country. A more rigid inspection at the seaports and greater vigilance on the border are requisite. It is very probable that there would bo cvasions of @ law requiring consular certificates or other safeguards supplied in the land from which the immigrant comes, but it would be well to have these aided to the guarantees already existing end which may be framed. As to naturaltza- tion and citizenship, there seem to be good reasons for extending the time, perbaps to two- thirds of the period exacted of the uative, for full citizenship. This period is twenty-one years. The raw foreigner would require, Tne Sran thinks, at least fourteen years to learn as much of America and his datics as an Amer- ican citizen as tho native is able to acquire by inheritance and # residence on the scil of twenty-one i —— ‘The proposition for a government oan at 2 per cent on agricuitural land secarity hay never been acceptable to the Farmers’ Alliance, who have preferred « different security, namely, the products of the land But Senator Stanford of Califcrnia has determined, never- theless, to press it, as embodied in his bill, at anesrly day. Some of the features of tke measure are ss extraordinity as those of the subtreacury bill taat bave been #9 often eriti- eised. All citizens or intending citizens, cwn- ers of agricultural land, can bave advanced on such Innd one-half 2f ite assessed value for a term not exceeding twenty yea: if the loan is not paid at the end of twerty years and the interest is not paid! the government is to reclose its mortgage. With the bigh-silsried chief and deputy chief of the land loan bureau and the numerous subordinate officers required in every coanty in every state the cost of ad- ministering the law, to say nothing of counsel fees allowed in fsreclosure of mortgnge, would be encrmous. There is no probability that the Propotition will ever receive serious considera- tion at the hands of Congress. Its defects are eo obvious and the impossibility of putting it into exeention so perfevtly plain to every mind long familiar with Icgisiation and national firanees that ne member of the finance com- mittee and no Senator who has very carefully stuliel public questions 2f this nature can possibly be misled It may be philanthropy but it is clearly not finance. ees The ubandened form of New England is fast taking its place with the mortgaged farm of As Kansas—ix. history #0 the word “aba: the mortgage is lifted with a re- . which, how- afacturing industry, to the regi: rested.

Tho Sran has pointed outa hundred times the ab- surdities and evils of this law. It ia no longer of benefit to the veterans, and it is & constantly enlarging injury to the capital Tbe hesitancy of politicians to touch any proposition which can be twisted into the appearance of hostility to the oid soldier has caused the District to re- main subjected to this preposterous statute jong after the old soldier ceased to be the ben- @ficiary under it. This fact renders the course of the Grand Artay posts highly appropriate and causes their support of the movement for the repeal of the law to become exceedingly effec- tive. The community is under obligations to the post which bas already acted, aud conti- ap one U pros dently looks to the other posts for aumilar ac-| tion, The sessions of the American Forestry and the Modern Languaze associations are scarcely Jess prominent in the vew of scholars, and the former im the general view more so, than the Listorical societies which are helding their annual mectings in the national capital. ‘The preservation of our forests and the making of sbade and timber in arid regions are of the bightest importance from material, social and patriotic standpoints. — Governor Humphrey of Kansas is in the} midst of « persistent siege of applications for Senator Plumb’s place.
