If the Senator from New York will give me his attention. I desire to ask what is to be the limit of thepowerand duty of the inspectors provided for in section 4. The only power that is given is " to erase from the list or manifest of passengers the name of any immigrant who he is satisfied should not be permitted to land in this country." No matter who the person may be. the inspector has absolute discretion. I do not want somebody with whom I have a quarrel or some person who is indiscreet in speech or anythingelse to have such a power over me.
