There is either before the House or the Committees on Public Lands and Mines and Mining. the able and elaborate report of the public laud commission. obtained at great cost to the Government. Who expects that these bills will be reached and passed or this report considered ? I now call attention to another bill. a great and important one. coming from the gentleman from New York. the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. [Mr. Cox ] a bill to regulate immigration. That gentleman reported the bill lanuary 1. He was alive to the interests and to the necessities of the Immigrants coming to this country in such large numbers. His committee did its duty. The chairman did his duty. but his mouth is closed by the dictation of his party.
