Congressman Mills, of Texas, whose fame nsa logislator and party leador is identifiod wivh a tariff bill which is be« lieved to have had something to do with demoeratie defent in the last prosi- dential election, is first heard from since the close of the last congress in explanation of what will be the demo- cratie policy in the next congress, Mr. Mills will not be a leader in the Fifty- first congross, but thero can hardly be a tion a8 to b authority to speak of ~the intentions of his party. Having had expressions from such responsible democrats as M Oates and Mr. Bynum, the conc rence of the Texas ¢ leaves no doubt that he is fully informed as to the designs of his party, and of course is in complete sympathy with them. Mr. Mills says the democrats in con- gress, although in the minovity, know their and intend to exercise it. They do not propose to allow the re- pass any logis- que s4my power publican majority to lation without their consent. They will not pormit any essentinl chunge in the rules if obstruction and filibustering can prevent it, They will doall o their power to prevent the \ting of ropublicans in the contested olection cnses, and, in short, they will present solid front of opposition to evarything vroceeding from the ma- jority that is in the least degres of o party nature. This is the programme frankly avowed by My, Mills, and thero can be no doubt he kuows whercof he speaks, A fow conservative democt papers have expresscd thgopiuion that the democrats in would not ~ pursue a policy of ob- struction, but would permit the major- ity to have their way and take the full responsibility. ch journals ave obvi- ously uot in touch with the prevailing sentiment of the party. The democratic leaders in congress evidently intend to make the most obstinate resistance to every move and measure that is tinctively republican, and with the nar- row vepublican majority they can do this effectively. The that this is to be the policy are the authority is unquestionable. outlook is consequently not favorable for the legislation the country requives, ough the next congress will not lack in interest for those whom political con- teution pleases. b newss congress dis- surances THE TMMIGRATION QUESTION. Tu the next congress another attempt is to be made to place further vostric- tions upon immigration. Washington advices state that about fifty men are preparing bills on this subject, and that when congress convenes in December a general scramble is likely to for precedence. in the matter of propo- sitions to restrict immigration. Mem- bers of both congress who have traveled oyer the United States or visited Burope during the pastsummer are said to have formed the opinion that er necessity than ever for further legislation on the subject of foreign immigration. Meanwhile scu- timent in this direction is being worked up 1 the eust and will be brought to hear upon congress with all possible force. The plans of the advocates of further restricting immigration are varions and not entirely harmonious. Some are in favor of abolishing the head tax now levied hy the goverament and throwing all tho responsibility upon the steawn- ship companies. These argue that if it is wrong ‘to permit the im- migration of objectionable persons 1t should not be countenanced under any circumstances, and it is therefore a disgrace to charge fifty conts o head, as isnow done, for all foreigners who come to this country. Others urge that the head tax on immigrants should be in- creased, both for the purpose of restrict- ing the importation of undesirable persons and for the purpose of defray- ing the necessary expenses of enforcing the laws on thissubject. Some members of congress suggest that a law shall be preparved which will place the entive responsibility for the immigration of improper persons upon the steamship companies, and that the fines collected for a violation of the law on the part of the companies shall go into a general fund to defray the expenses of enforcing the law. Still another suggestion is thatthere should be a law requiring every immigrant, under penalty of be- ing sent to provide himsell with a certificate from the American con- sul pearest to the town, village or hamlet from which he comes, such document to certify that so far as the consul can ascevtain the im migrant 1s a fit and proper person to be received in America, and in addition to this the immigrant onlanding should be subjected to as thorough an exami- nation as is practicable to determine his fitness. A probationary period for the immigrant is another suggestion, and there are many more. In order that the laws may be more stvictly en- forced, it is proposed that thero “shall be a burean of immigration, with headquarters at Washing- ton, ecndowed largely with the right of independent action, aud move closely allied to the state than to the treasury department. Most of these ideas were-incorporated in measures introduced iu the last con- gress, and they will doubtless be re- newed with many added, when the fifty congressmen who ave preparing immi- gration restriction Dbills thrust thei weasures upon the attention of the next congress, Meantime it will be well -to consider the actual facts of the situa- tion which must confront the hostility vation. These are that the present year will show a large com- parative decrease in the number or im- migrants to the United States; that the general character of the year’s immi- gration is of a higher average standard than that of most years for at least the last decade; that the tendency is mani- fostly toward improvement, aud that the marked diversion of Evropean emi- gration to the countries of South Amer- ica, which are attracting it by liberal inducements, is likely to continue and inerease. Whence comes the demand for a restriction upon immigration not alvendy im- posed by existing laws? Certainly uot from the new stutes, which desive to in- ensue 1ses of ample, and | The crense their population as rapldly as possible by the addition of industries and thrifty peopls, foreign or native, Nor from those states of New England where there nre plans in contemplation for repopulating abandoned farms, and there has been talk of bringing over Scandinavians for that purpose. Nor vot from the south or southwest, where there is felt to be abundant room etill for white labor. The demand comes almost wholly from those lo- calities in the east in which the least worthy elements of the foreign popula- tion have congregated, and where their pushing and jostling of each other and of the native population, in the straggle for maintaing a constant frietion, and breeds more or less trouble. It would be woll if a wise and practic- able way conld be found to relieve such communities, but it cannot be done by erecting barricrs against immigeation to the disadvantage of all the rest of the country., We unquestionably have the right to demand that the immigrants who come to these shores should be honest, law-abiding, industrious peoplo, capable of support- ing themselves by their own labor, und pacity to understand and prop- erly exereise the dutios of citizenship. And this the laws now regulating im- migration do demand. If these laws were properly enforced there would be no cause of complaint as to the charac- ter of immigrants. The machinery for areying out the laws is defective and those having charge of it inefficient or dishonest, Let these be improved be- fore further restrictions are attempted. Al rEAL Every day adds to the mountains of proof of the incompetency and extra agance of the present board of county commissioners. The member gine that the substance of the taxpayers was placed in theiv keeping for the purpose of distribution among political favorites or to be squandered on jobbing con- tractors, During the past two years vast sums of money have been recklessly wasted through a total lack of business methods and common honesty. The treasury is opened to every seamp with bogus nnd inflated claims, aud o class of public vampires permitted to fatten on the people. The exposure of the hospitai job, the vault steal. aud the mysterious disap- pearance of important vouchers would have been suflicient to make men not entively 1ost to salf-respect and decency to pause and eavefully consider the pub- lie int Not so with the hide- bound commissioners. They plunge from bad to worse, and disp! dalous disregard for the protests of the people. Last spring the board advertised for Dids for the county advertising. Legit- imate publishers responded, but theic tenders were rejected becuuse they were considered cxorbitant, and the awarded to a gutter dodger at an extravagant price. The contract was mnever fulfilled and was never intended to be. The money might have been thrown into a rat hole aud accomplished as much good. Not one person in ten thousand saw or ever read the paper, and it is doubtful if the commissioners were more cu- lightened. A few weeks ago they peated the folly by awarding the con- \ct for publishing the delinguent tax st to the smme concern, and last Sat- tioned another raid on the existence, vest, job treasury. Vaughu's bill for nearly twent; hundred dollars is a downright steal. Dishonesty is stamped on its face. The terms of the advertisemosnt left no room for doubt that bids were for the cost per description for three insertions. Yet Vaughn has the assurance to pre- sent a bill for theee prices, making the total amount greater than that of the highest bidder. It is a plain, unvar- nished attempt to blackmail the county. The indecent haste of the commission- crsin allowing a portion of the amount, asum greater than the work called for, shows that they are active parties to the rape of the trensury, and emphasizes the necessity for a radical change 1n the make-up of the board by the election of honest and cannble men.

A eleetion hus been ordered to fiil the vacancy, and that clection will take place in less than a month, and T do not wish by any act of mme to for stali the action of e convention that will nominate a candidate. 1f T wert to make an appointment it would hold good only 10 tie time when the judee elected should receive his certiticate of clection. In my judgment the mew judge would enter upon the dis- charge of the dutics of his office the moment e received his ccrtificate of election and took the vath of office. He will be elected to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Judze il there will be no waiting until the 1st ot January. Ho begins to fill the vacancy the moment heis qualified, 1 should make an appointment for this ver short period of time I wou'd appear to bo assuming too much. 1 prefer to follow rather than to lead the people.

T.—[Spocml Telo gram to Tne Bee)—The leading Roman Catholic clergymen in Brooklyn havo taken up the fight against tho saloon i politics, and are making a quiet but most cffective strugele. They have organized a society known as the League of the Cross, and 750 members live 1 one parish, that of Father Josepn Fransiolli, While the Roman Catholic elergy of Brookiyn disclaim having political principles toextend, they ave morally opposed to the sale of whisky and beer at every street corner, particularly in tho tenement_district, where these riotous rosorts absorb the scauty earnings of the workingmes upon whose industry thousands of women and children aro dopendent. The wunicipal clection is on Novembor 3, and then, us Father Fransiolli says, every teman Catholie voter will be expocted to do his uumost to drive out of the city government the politiclwus who stand in line with the brewers and aid their strug- elo to multiply the saloons. *‘The brewers are the men who capitalize the corner dens of vice,” said Father Fransiolli, yesterday. *They hold mortgages upon nearly every si loon 1 Brooklyn, and the saloonkeepers themselves are merely their tools, who could not make a livelihood inany respectable calling., Although of the men- bers of the league ats, partisan polities will have no effeet upon théie nction. All the candidates will bo visited, and those who will not vledge themseives to oppose the extension of the liquor interest, will be op posea ut the polls.” The politiciaus lovk upon the new movement with no little anx- iety.
