William Lloyd Garrison was up against Professor Richmond Mayo Smith and Robert DeCourcy Ward of New Professor Davis R. of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who advocated restriction. Mr.

Garrison ha4 to contend with a fusillade of figures and statistics, but with his familiar flow of sarcasm and his bright pictures of posaSblllUes from social reorganization he caught the sympathies of the club and drowned the army of facts which his opponents enlisted with a happy prophecy of the development of Americanized foreigners. Representative James J. Myers of Cambridge presided. The other guests were Judge James Dunbar, Alpheus S. Hardy, James J.

Pointing out fact that the dominant people In this country are emigrants or the sons of emigrants he quoted the question often asked: Why should the present residents draw the line? In answer to that question he claimed that there is a great deal of difference between the immigrants of the seventeenth century and those of fhe present time, those early Immigrants who came to a wild country and cultivated It against great difficulties. The first he called the colonization class, which made the country what it is.

Therefore he claimed that the men w'ho did aJl these tilings have the right to be called the Americans, and tliat having made existing conditions they have a right to say under what conditions immigrants should be admitted to them. "Why should we give every man the right to do as he pleases? The social object of freedom Is not the pursuit of he said, "it Is the development of society. What we want in this country is not double 65,000,000 people but to develop a great Robert DeCourcy Ward in opening said that he had made a practical study of -'immigration at Ellis Islaini In New York Harbor, and that he has never seen an inspector- at Ellis Islar.d give a practical test to an immigrant in reading and writing, but that issloner Delehanty of Boston adheres tr the rule in a practical He pointed cat that while the peoples of Europe were desirable immigrants, thrf flow of Immigration from that portion of Europe was decrea-slng, and sK)uthern Europe contributing successors. These he alleged were Inferior to the northern races, retaining their own languages and customs, and being hard to and develop. He believed that the educational test was the solution of the problem.

Professor Davis R. Dewey of the Institute of Technology argued that the majority of the Immigrants who come here do so because they are unable to earn a I living from the productive forces of their I own countries. His impression was that there wpa a large stream of pauperism coming to this country. WllPam Lloyd Garrison said: I "A nation of immigrants and the chll- of immigrants, having obtained pos- jsession of the continent, are considering the feasibility of barring out other Im- tnigrants. They assume to have the right to determine who shall be admitted hereafter and who shall not.

It is pertinent to demand the evidence of their authority. the North End of Bo.ston huddled together are 21,000 foreigners, of which 19,000 are Italians. law would have licept a large proportion of them out.

"The base politics of our great cities cannot be laid to the door of aliens so as to the Indifference of American- born citizens. The same Is true of national politics. The freshly arrived immigrant, If he can spell out the newspaper Intelligence, may receive a suggestive lesson In the art of free government.

He may read the charge of the United States Senator from New Hampshire, that the presidential nomination of his own party, this year equivalent to an election. Is made an object of barter by the managers of its leading candidate. If tlie new-comer thereby fashions his own political morals, It may be the misfortune that he ever learned to read. It may also be the good fortune that the citizen should be Illiterate, rather than be scholarly enough to mistranslate a Spanish verb for the sake wL ombrolling the country In war, If i may borrow a recent Instance from con- 'gresslonal history. we are too harsh with the victims of cruel despotism whose necessities have forced them to seek refuge in this land of liberty, let us in fairness the moral havoc possible from a scholar in politics.

This corporation, under the plan stated, was in a healthy condition, notwithstanding the fact that Its total number of passengers carried per annum was only 22,000,000 against 153,000,000 by the End.

Prentiss Cummings then opened for the remonstrants, the West End Street Railway Company. He said there is an organized appetite on the part of the people to secure free transfers.

The Legislature had never Interfered, and he thought It was no time to begin now. The figures of the company for 1895 showed that 12,000,000 free transfer passengers had been carried and 8 000,000 paid transfer passengers. The bill presented cut the railroad off from the most secure method of issuing transfers, and compelled (hem to adopt that In which there was boundless scope for fraud. The conductors could exchange transfer checks among themselves, and just so far as they could work that plan, just so fa. they could defraud the company of fares they had collected.

The automatic registers would read all right, and all they would have to do would be to put the fares In tnelr pockets.

The Hebrew boss painters and decorators of Boston, whose men are on strike, held a meeting last night at 133 Hanover street to consider the propositions made to them by their striking employees. T.

W. Pritchard, chairman of the organizing committee of the Central Labor Union, spoke at length on the diifi- cultles now existing. After considerable discussion, it was very evident that, with one or two exceptions, the bosses were willing to accede to the demands of the strikers. It is evident that the bosses are hoping to settle the difficulties, and a meeting to be held todny, when both Interests shall be represented, may possibly result In an adjustment of difficulties. Next entertainment at the Lyceum will be given by the International vaudeville company.
