Shall Louisiana Invite Immigration

w. d. Wylic of our city, returned yester-
day from a short trip into Texas. He
spent some days in tie city Of Dallas, and
brings tlattering report of the enterprise
aud prosperity OF that new but tiourishing
city. Notwithstanding the large immigra-
ton into that portion of the State and the
activity of the real estate circles, the peo-
pie are anxious to secure further immi gra
ton and capital, and wish to take advan-
tage of every available opportunity to place
their lands upon the market. Colonel Wyle
visited Dallas in the interest Of his Pnlla
delphia Office, to secure large list of lands
to place upon their lists during the centen
NAL exposition. With the characteristic
promptness Of the Dallas people to take
advantage of any enterprise that promises
q benefit to their section, our enterprising
citizen received every encouragement at
their hands, aud during the short stay he
made in Texas added to the lists
something over half million acres
of Texas lands. From what We
know Of the enterprise and indomitable
energy of our feilow-townsman and the
connections he has made for the disposal
Of Southwestern lands, we are satisfied that
if properly encouraged by our own people
Colonel Wylie will be enabled to dispose Of
large lists of our Louisiana lands, and by
that means secure to US what we most need
to make US prosperous people-capltal,
manufactures and desirable class of in
telligent sgriculturis:s and 1aborers. We
have here climate and soil uneqnaled on
the continent. Heretofore we have made
no effort to lay before the world the great
variety of resources our favored section
possesses, and experience has taught us
that State and legislative schemes Tor the
promotion of immigration has for want OF
concert Of action proved impracticable, and
that private enterprise must successfully
carry cut that object.
Colonel Wylie has resided in our city for
many years; q great part of that time in
public life; is fully conversaut with the
Typography and geography OF our State and
its peculiar advantages, and having the
confidence of the people of this community,
should receive every encouragement IN this
Iaudable enterprise. His firm proposes to
publish comprehensive description of the
vast resources Of this Southern country for
over the world. Every tract
of land on their lists will be published in
three different languages, thus calling di-
rect attention to the unusual advantages
we offer for the Investment OF capital, ard
We think those who have lands for sele
could not place them in better hands. Let
US not let Louisiana be behind Texas in as
sisting private enterprise in developing oDr
resources. The time has arrived when the
subject OF imnlie ra lion should receive the
immediate services and attention of every
" ell meaning citizen of Louisiana, in order
to settle up our State by the introduction Of
a people recommended by their Industry
and intelligence, and private enterprise,
with that object in view, should receive
every Encouragement at the kanCs OF cur
people. -iohrereport Telegram.
