IMMIGRATION.
A bill has been introduced into
Congress restricting loreign imigra
linn and to throw around itsafeguards
against tlie worst features of it. The
subject, has been discussed for a long
time. Recently several papers have
renewed the discussion and claim for
the subject many advantages and
benefits. Is this claim a wise one
and do the facts justify it? The
wealth of a state does not consist
alone in population, but in the ma¬
terial condition ot that populatton.
If population ajone constituted n^
tional wealth Russia woulu be the
wealthiest nation in the world, but
such is not the fact. That state of
tilings is most to be sought alter
which develops the largest mental
and physical manhood and at the
ame time is most inducive to love of
country. Can the introduction of
the discordant element of a foreign
race produce good results and answer
the end sought for? All thoughtful
men fear, and lightly too, the social
istic sentiment of Europe so ruinous
to all just ideas ot liberty, Some late
instances, such as the anarchists of
Chicago, fully justify these fears. The
disquiet, dissatisfaction, murmuring
and strikes among laborers come
mainly from this cause. A pandora's
box. of evils is disclosed when
immigration is invited, Would it not
he wiser to retain the beautiful heri
tage which God hath given us for
ourselves and our children? The
people of western Georgia occupy the
best portion of this goodly land. What
would b lo st disposal of it. In
VI t' ! rangers occupy it, or make
omes foi mr own people ? It is
t nice po ’tion that is needed,
but more mdustiy and economy and
a sound morality and integrity in
business transactions. To this end
it is essential to the prosperity of a
country that the citizens should have
homes—-be land owners, however
small. It is a positive evil for land
to be held in large bodies by one
man, while so many are renters.
This is no agrarian idea, but a fact
essential to the welfare, peace and
good order of society. The man
who has a home of his own will im¬
prove it, while a tenant will not.
Home is the beacon star to guide to
success and Ir ppines?, and with the
family tie forms the golden link of
the brotherhood ot man. It is true
that more than half the land in Harris
county is unoccupied and untilled,
and until the idea of big plantations
is abandoned, real success will not
be attained. The true interest of
the country demands that the idle
capital invested in untilled lands be
withdrawn, the land sold to actual
settlers, and the pioceeds invested in
profitable industries so that we may
make what we consume. Small
farms and the intensive system of
farming is the watchword aiid the
sure prevenlalive to the exodus to
Texas and elsewhere. O. P. T.

AN EXAMPLE THAT OUGHT TO
BE FOLLOWED.
There lives a man in Harris county
who eight ’.ears ago married the girl
of his choice and took her to his
humble home which he had worked
hard to pay for. Hethcught as he
was now a married man, he must live
better and put on a little style. Soon
the little money he had was gone, so
he sought credit of a leading mer
chant. The merchant had noticed
his increased expenditure and when
applied to for credit frankly told him
he must give him a mortgage on his
mule and crop, else he could not run
him. John was troubled and offend
ed and replied that he would think
about it. John left and went home.
On the way he was greatly troubled.
Should he tell his wife and wound her
too. The more he thought of it the
more troubled he became and he
reached home without arriving at any
conclusion. Ihe good wife with
woman's ready wit soon saw that
something was wrong. I hrowing her
arms around his neck she said:
‘‘John,tell me what is wrong? Have
I done anything to wound you ? I
wouldn’t do it for the world.”
“Oh, no Matilda, you are good to
me, far more than I deserve.”
“What is it, then ?”
“I’ll tell you. I was refused credit
to-day unless I would mortgage my
mule and crop.”
“Oh, is that all. We've got a good
cow and plenty of bread and we will
live on bread and milk for one year.
Dear John, don’t feet bad about it.
We can keep out ofdebtand lets doit.”
The compact was sealed. John
never made a debt and now he owns
600 acres of land, always pays cash
and always has ready money on hand
and lives as well as any man in, the
county. Neighbor.
There are upwards ot fifty million
consumers of sugar in this country
and only a few thousand sugar pro
tlucers. The tariff on sugar helps the
few at the expense of the many.
Is there anything democratic in this?
ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish
It by Force A Famous Retreat.
The present agitation concerning
the relations between Canada and
the United States recalls the time
when the annexation of that country
was proposed to be brought about by
force of arms. The project was en
trusted to the brave General Mont
gomery, assissed by the famous pat
riots, Colonels Ethan Allen and Seth
Warner. While engaged in this in
vasion Ethan Allen was taken prison
er by the Brutish and sent to Eng
land, where he experienced very
harsh treatment.
It was Col Warner who twice con
ducted his men safely home, tl ough
the rparch was constantly surrounded
by dangers. Once Montgomery sent
t h em home because their time was
out, and though they were willing to
cont i nU e in service, they were vvith
out sufficient clothing, and none
cou ^ be - na d in that country,
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
home before he heard that Mont
g 0me iy had been killed,and the cause,
as we q as t he lives of the men, were
p Ut j n g reat jeopardy. He collected
^is men a^ain and at once started for
Canada to assist his countrymen in
extremity. But his efforts were
no ava j] 5 an( j ft was S00 n founu
necessar y to take u p the line of re
treat.
It was in the dead of winter, and
only necessity sanctioned moving the
troops. The terror of pursuit and
r jgh r 0 f the season furnished suffi
c * ent cause f or alarm and haste. Col.
yy arner rema ined with the rear of the
army, and aided them in many ways
most effectually, as he was a man well
posted in caring for the sick and this
knowledge now came into excellent
use.
He must keep the army in motion,
not a day must be lost, and yet he
was without any chest of medicines.
But ne understood the medicinal use
of roots and herbs, and of proper
care at critical times, and with these
allies,he made an effectual fight against
disease among his men.
When Ticonderoga was reached
and the roll called, thanks to Seth
Werner but few vacancies in the ranks
appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hun¬
dreds of men in this way, and he did
a noble work, but it remained for his
namesake, H. H. Warner, he d of
Warner’s Safe Cure establishment, to
give the same kind of remedies then
used to the people of to-diy, in V\ar
ner’s Log Cabin Remedies.” These i
remedies have been adopted after !
thorough trial and investigation, and ;
they are remedies of established rep !
utation. Being wholly vegetable,they
can be used without any fear as to
the results.
Among the new remedies is a Sar¬
saparilla for the blood, Hops and
Buchu for tue stomach and digestion,
Cough and Consumption Remedy,
Scalpine for the head and hair, Rose
Cream for that teirible disease, ca¬
tarrh^ a Log Cabin Liver Pill, a Log
Cabin Plaster and an Extract for in¬
ternal and external use. Our readers
may rest assured that there is merit in
every article.
