I hold that it is a very legitimate and important subject of inquiry. and.if time permitted and the Senator from Massachusetts were not impatient. I should beglad to add tothe contribution which has been made to this subject by the Senator from Florida. I should be glad to read an article from Scribners Magazine for January. 1893. with reference to the poor of Naples: and when I had read ft and Senators apprehended that it is largely from that class of people that our cities are being peopled today under the operations of our immigration laws. I believe no Senator would say it was not for the general welfare of this country in a constitutional sense that inquiries should be instituted to ascertain whether we have today in our great cities a condition of things among the poorer classes of people paralleling in any degree the situation of the poor of Naples as depicted in this article.
