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 Chlnme eoveramcUt titst it* peace en voy* obould be turned «way by Japan 3u*t as W*j-H»i-Wet bu fallen into the hands of the enemy and the conquering trralcs have begun the march to ttoeelty of Pekin. China tvuoni peace, or we should rather my from oar standpoint, she nesh peace. A peace to her Just now would be cbmp at any price, bat her utterly ridiculous assumption of groatne** seam* curtain to gat her into icujsr trouble. When she made her first affvttnoe toward suing for a cemi tion of hlstilltie* she proposed ito send to ftoklo ctnlMnrios clothed with au thority to conduct negotiation.*. Japan Immediately Insisted ina.t tho aiftliorlty of th«*o envoys be absolute so far as an agreement (was concerned, but on their Divet conferonco with tliem they found tint .their powers iwvre limited In many 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 sion of the envoys will result in untold coat to the Chinese government. Chi na's commanding fort 1 ilea Hons have all fallen into the hauls of itfim enemy awl tile fall of the capital will only lie delayed by Ithe winter’s severity, which Is likely to retnrd active qper.ltlous on tho jxirt of the Japanese armies. The fact ithait they will be aide ito 'tako the Kipital Is evident from the manner in which alley liavu succeeded in taking uvery forutlcutlon on which they h-ave advanced. Unlevss the dhlutwe troops at I'ekln airo made of dlffere-nt fighting material from those who were put for ward in iftifenpo of l\>rt Aitrtuir and Wol-IIsii-Wel itheir anemias will win a comparatively easy victory.

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 Baking Powder euniaased ail Other* at the World’* Columbian Ejcoositton. 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 the government In public kinds about *15,000 for every rat e of mad con streoted, and In .addition the govem- GEORGIA NEWS AND COMMENT.
