SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.
Tba New Orleans Tlmes-llenvuimt,
which has all a Inns taken an active In
terest in itbe tnadtiT of inducing imtui-
graition to the South from the North
anti West., state* ah it It has tried to
give some report of the oxtemlt to which
the movement Southward iws extended.
It acknowledges that It Is unable to do
so because.the naovomenH lately has
been so large nod so general It re-
nlirks upon Itbe fact thait i>ll of the
states liro getting a share of the new
population, ami oven stores like Souiii
Carolina anti -Miffilsrippl. which here-
iofui’e hira Bttfriicted f«w of the new
comers, tire gettlnig their share of de
sirable now residents. Such a repwt
is encouraging in the extreme and indi-
oates Hunt the tide bias been thoroughly
turned and the results mast mean only
good to our section. Wc need a farm
ing population 'that will cam and culti
vate its own farms, o uwmi-
f.icUiring population that will
bo lingo and aitisfled, and flien
if ihqy .will come we will wel
come every nton who bias Capital to In
vest. A thrifty agricultural community
is hound ito dtimand and receive the at
tention from capital that ets enterprise
merits. One will bring the Other.
We are glad to agree with ithe T.mes-
Deiuourit that most of this Immigtu-
tion has been broaght about by .the rail
road companies whose enterprising offi
cials realise that on the prosperity of
the sections through which their linos
run depends the prosperity of their
own corporations. With the end in
view of building up their territory
nearly ever# big Southern system has
done something along this line. 'They
should have hud -the more general aid
end enomragementt of the business peo
ple of the South, but that Is bound to
come, and in a ebart time we may ex
pect the interest in immigration to ex
tend tonUdisses.
AIUllESrr OF THE EX-QUBBN.
The arrest of Lilloukakinl. the list
quean of Hawaii, on a charge of high
treason against the now government of
the Islands is ibe Vit<«t phase of Ha
waiian affairs. Tile dispatches Htato
that in the nwiilcneo at the queen there
were found Stored largo quantities of
arms and ammunition. If tlw.t state
ment is true then ithe arrest and Im
prisonment of ithe queen was right and
proper and she should remain In prison
till the youthful republic Is out of din
ger. llur there are Invo side* to every
question, anil It is very remarkable that
of la to so many signs of r.boJMon
against ithe -Hbwaikitt pwvers that he
have davolopc*L The leading men of
the republic are the men Who wont the
islands annexed to irhe United States,
while many of the 'thinking people of
the country, anil especially the leading
people of tho Diunocitsttc party, are op
posed Co annexation. These Ilawtitkm
offleiat* have Shown themselves to be
exceedingly Kiirutvii and have not hesi
tated heretofore ittt adopt shorp prac
tices where such line* of action might
prove effective. The stir in tills coun
try of kite over the keeping of a war
vessel in Hawaiian water* ha* been
very oonsidiguble, although the only In-
4or>*»ta we now Have in 'the Islamh |s a
promised Me fur a coaling station for
onr navy. It baa all along been the de
sire of tho ItqpobUcan party that the
island* Should bo annexed and they
have backed ithe Hawaiian Annexation
ist* on nil occasions. The now repub
lic, while a weak one, Is in no sense a
child of this government, but it aeoms
to stand in no immediate danger of de
struction even by the adherents of the
deposed queen. Wo have no doubt
that the tale Incident will furnish Sen
ator Lodge with material for a number
of speeches, but we doubt if even this
will Cbotngo the Attitude of llbl* govern
ment SrawuM Hawaii.
If the ex-queen has been guilty of
treason she should suffer for It anil
doubtless will, but the 8ta>to of Ha
waii (s no nearer a reality than it was
before Lilloukdlani became a traitress
to republican rale.
CHINA MUST MAKE TERMS.
It will hardly be o>mfacting to the

should rather my from oar standpoint,

her utterly ridiculous assumption of

rospoets. Further confarcmeo was
promptly dodiniei and the envoys ills
mined for further consultation with
their homo gornrisniait. It is evident
that tdi's mismanagoniient of firs mis

coat to the Chinese government. Chi

LITTLE HOPE OF RELIEF.
An unofficial poll of rile Tinned
States senate, taken by 'those who advo
cate the enactment of some measure
which will embody the recommenda
tions made by President Cleveland in
his recent mewtage, shows that there
is no Immediate likelihood of such a
measure receiving a majority vote in
that body. The result as nimou !.<«._-■ is
no surprise to those who have kept
a close watch upon the tendency of the
senate to do, nothing either as a body
or as Individual senators, but to ob
struct any action on measures which
looked as Khougli they might come be
fore it with the endorsement of the
president. Such childish procedure
seems 10 have gone far enough, and
the only hope which the country now
has of the enactment of any measure
of financial reform seems to lie In the
change of oontplex.on of congress wl'ih-h
will take place on flio 4th of March.
In the list of names given of those
who favor tho enactment of such a
measure, there appears but few Wliioh
belong ito the South. The Southern sen
ators seem to have joined .themselves
In political action to the members from
.tho silver situ to* and arod itermlrted that
no finanolail reform which does not
comprise an absolute surreuler to tlio
silver forces of tho ooumry tdtall over
pass with the eld of their votes. Wc
regret that this division on a question
so vital should be so noticeable, but
the fact that it Is so easily seen makes
It aU the more regrettable.
A11 along the Republicans of iho
North have complained tltat tho control
ling force in tho United Nraitc* congress
since tho beginning of the last Demo
cratic adm.ulatRa.ti<m has been the
membership of tha Southern delega
tions. To a certulu extent, their con
tentions neoni to be tree. It Is unfor-
tunti'to tint reprm.-ntaitivca of this sec
tion bavo gpotvn »J salf-consoious of
their power that evbn Iho president
himself is not edtltlcd to a respectful
hearing whim ho make* a reeotmnonda-
tion which ho 1 Kiieve* has for its ob
ject tho good of the wholo people.
The people have grown tired waiting
for congress to do something. The
Deuiooiutto party baa been over
whelmingly difdied in one congres
sional election. The intention of the
Democratic member* now in congress
seems to be 1o prepare it for another
overwhelming defeat. Obstructionist
tactics are always iho resort of Iho
weaker party. It is the active element
in polities that always gains control,
'iho fact that Democratic senators h ave
done nothing else than find fault and
obs tract the pa.-eeige of imasures which
had their origin in recommendations
made by the president, is not calculat
ed to ltMp.ro the confidence of the num
bers of their own party or of that great
indopendvnt eiemant wltlch has of late
shown itself to bo the eon moiling power
In this country.
In the same dispatch which gives the
Information allout this unofficial ballot
we are told -that hundreds a nd~ thous
ands of lenten and telegrams arc o>w
being received by senators at Wash
ington, -which letters and tdigmnu
call upon them for deceive sot Ion.
Will they act? We hope that overy re
source of appeal has not yet been ex
hausted, and tbit these sluggish repre
sentatives of the people will do their
duty both in Having their party fretn
disgrace and in relieving tha ooumry
from its dtatroMfng financial condition.
Merit Is best brought out by the test
of competition. That Is why Dr. Price's

TAYLOR COUNTY’S OFFICERS.
A special from Butler, published In
yesterday’s TeCegraph, give* the inform
ation that four of the Populists elected
to oonnty office* In Taylor county, have
been unable to give bond, and their
commission* have been returned to the
governor.
Taylor county has been the strong
hold of the Foople’* party in that sec
tion of Georgia in which It 1* located.
The public would have been led to be
lieve that it claimed among It* mem-
bent some man who, If not dtenweive*
offlce-seckcm, were ad bust flnandUly
aMo to furnish the security necessary
to insure 1toe faithful performance of
their duties as public officials, by tb
men whom Iti-ay had iii*4ped to eioct. I
seems 'that such has not been the carte,
or If It has 11 tat the more prosperous
men among the Taylor county Popu
lists have not sufficient confidence in
the nten thoir'party has chosen to guar
antee their competent service*.
Tho Telegraph Is In no sense ah ad
vocate of the rich man’s government,
and It doc* not feel inclined io gloat
over tho unfortunate position In which
theso offlcials-eteot have been placed.
It advises these men. and those who
voted for them, to consider tho causes
which bare made them turn from the
party to which they doubtless all be
longed a few years ago, and we have
no doubt that when they bavo thought
tho mutter over they will come to die
conclusion Hint, after all, their proper
place Is with tho Ottrnocrals of their
seotlon, and when a now election comes
around the entire nqw sot of ofiiclals
will bo ruprasonta.tive Democrats.
PACIFIC RAILWAY BONDS.
Tlio hous.1 has voted not to fund the
Pucflc railway bonds. The roads, or
rather tho men who built them, have
taken enough si of the governmenr
treasury, and it Is will Ihat their plen
tiful supply of protection anil support
bis been withdrawn. The hi tory of
tho congressmen who were concern d
in the legislation touching 'those raids
has been disgmcofurl In the extreme.
The men who built them received from
