The question of a proper, and cer- tainly necessary restriction of immigra- tion is being almost daily considered by the metropolitan press and it is another one of those questions that must be answered in the near future. As indicative of the popular interest in this subject the GAZETTE reproduces the following from yesterday’s New York Recorder : The ne‘w immigration act is a step in the right direction, but it does not go far enough. In addition to the demented and ab- solute paupers. our laws now refuse hospitality to persons convicted of crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, polygamists, sufferers from contagious or loathsome diseases and “assisted emigrants” who would be un- able to pose as settlers and aspirants for American citizenship except through participation in some fund to facilitate their change of home. When the new statute shall have been rigorously en- forced for some months we will be bet- ter able to judge what additional pre- cautionary legislation may be necess- ary to prevent the influx of detrimentals by action at our own ports. It is probable that we will have to re- sort tO a conflict with deleterious immi- gration nearer its source and to provide for consular action abroad that will prevent the shipment from the ports of EuI‘Ope of persons whom America can- not receive. As to the necessity of further re- striction, current events andintelligent observation at our ports supply abun- dant evidence. There has not yet been that change in the importations of workmen which our interest demand. There is no falling off in the number landed, but an increase, and there isno noticeable alteration for the better in the characteristics of the hordes that daily disembark. Some favor an extension of the peri- Od of probation before eligibility .. citizenship, but that would not meet the necessity for action against those who are utterly careless about our citi- zenship and come here either to escape justice abroad or else merely to earn money enough to gO elsewhere to live in greater comfort. We want good , citizens, not a larger alien class who would remain the greater part if not the whole of their lives without that laudable interest in American prosper- ity which comes of participation in the responsibility of popular government. TO omit to restrict undesirable immi- gration, while rendering less attainable the rights and dignity of voters, would probably result only in aggravating the plague against which we are contend- ing. The trouble with the tendency of immigration is not in its growth merely. We have room enough for all that will prove acquisitiOns for the country. It is against the crowding in of the vicious irresponsible, reckless and enslaved that we must guard. ~ A Noted French Painter Dead.

' His ecclesiastical duties were performed with so much satisfaction that he was once before very greatly pressed to fill a vacancy in the bishopric of the church He has not had the best of health, and has been frequently compelled to travel. H( is a. man of much determination and en- ergy, and his sermons are characterizec’ for their force, being anything but the prosy harangues sometimes delivered ever by successful and popular preachers. - While abroad he was introduced to the London pulpits by the late Dean Stanley. and the attention he then excited has not ceased, although his visits to London have been repeated several times. During the season of 1883 the attention that he re- ceived was overwhelming, and again re peated on his succeeding visit in May, 1885. His sermons were delivered in West minster Abbey and St. Paul’s cathedral and other London churches. THE DORIINION PARLIADIENT. ‘ It Is Assured that Reciprocity \Vill Ob- tain Next October. OTTAWA, May 1.——The first session 01 the seventh parliament Of the Dominion of Canada was formally opened at 3 O’clock Thursday afternoon. His excellency the governor general proceeded in state to the parliament house, and the members of the house Of commons having been summoned to the senate chamber the. speech from the throne was read. Referring to reciprocal trade relations with the United States, his excellency says: “My advisers availing themselves Of op- portunities which were presented in the closing months of last year, caused the willingness Of the government of Canada to join in making efforts for the extension and development Of the trade between the republic and the Dominion, as well as for the friendly adjustment of those mat ters of an international character which remain unsettled, to be represented to the authorities at Washington. I am pleased to say that these representations have re sulted in an assurance that in October next the government of the United States will be prepared to enter on a conference to consider the best means of arriving at a practical solution of these important ques- tions. “The papers relating to this subject will be laid before you. Under these circum- stances, and in the hope that the proposed conference may result in arrangements beneficial to both countries, you will be called upon to consider the expediency of extending for the present season the prin ci- pal provisions of the protocol annexed to the Washington treaty in 1888 known as the modus vivendi.” A Baltimore Belle’s Suicide. BALTIMORE, May 1.—Mrs. Ashby L. Beidler has given the city another sense» tion. Her dead body was found in her apartments at 1,108 North Charles street. A bullet from a 32caliber revolver had lodged in her heart. There is no doubt that she committed suicide. Three years ago Miss Florence L. Denmead was a reigning belle Of twenty-one years and moved in the best society circles. It was then learned that she had been secretly married in Washington to Mr. Beidler, who is a traveling agent for a New York silk importing house. It is stated that the lady has since then been almost a recluse, living .with her mother. The family re< fuse to make any statement in the matter, except that Mrs. Beidler had recently been very melancholy. A Dramatic Scene in Court. CHICAGO, May .1.—lVilliam D. Spayde, who eloped from Niles, Mich, last Winter with Mrs. Rose Roberts, has been sen- tenced to one year’s imprisonment. Mrs. Roberts, who was also in court, was dis- charged. There was a scene in the court room after the trial had ended. The hus- ‘ band whom the woman had deserted was present and appealed to her to return home with him and their three children. She declared that she would not do so, and after warning him never to speak to her fainted. It was nearly an hour before she recovered. The Florida Deadlock Unbroken.
