immigration and our Resources

We feel confident that all those
who are residing in the State or in
terested in its we'll doing, must have
been gratifed in reading the Inaugu-
raj speech of our new Governor,
Hon. w. d. Bloxham, in our last
number. We differ from some peo-
pie in the class of immigrants that
are required to settle up our State.
While others are contemplating an
influx of Germans, Italians, ETC.,
laborers, we are of the opinion
that the State may be populated
from other States of the Union, with
citizens who have gone through the
experiences OF life, made money sufi-
cient to live on, but who wish to es.
cape from the rigors of the northern
climate, and can be induced to make
homes with us. They may be native
born, or from every nation under the
sun, but have been long enough in
the Union to become we'll acquainted
with the institutions of the nation.
These people will buy our lands, and
bring up their families here, to be-
come future citizens of the State.
There are not hundreds of them but
thousands and tens of thousands. who
would be willing to come if they can
be convinced that it would be for
their interests to do so. They are
cautious, and we do not blame them
for being so, and look over the fence
before they take the leap. Show them
that their health would be benefited.
and their pecuniary position not in
jured and we can get all we want
and the whole country will blossom
like the rose. 1t is then OF the ut.
most consequence to the State that

The cessi0n OF Crete is their only substantial fea-

ambassadors will make counter proposal that the
Porte shall cede not only Crete but Thessaly and
perhaps strip of Epirus. War is almost tneyita-
BILE in consequence of the Indifferent attitude of
Austria and Germany. We have the best reasons to
both Greece and Turkey that the latter will not be
permitted to send ships to Greek waters

by accepting the Portes offer Of Crete, and enforc-

fine their own boundary line and, by imperative
counsels at Constantinople, enforced, If need be,
by the dispatch of tron-cads to the Bosphorus,
secure Its cession by the Sultan. There is third
way Of preventing war. The responsibility for the
failure to adoptone orthe other OF these methods

It is well enough for Republicans to pos.

1t is well enough for Republicans to pos
sess their souls in quiet, in the first stages
of the contest, and while the antagonising
forces are shaping themselves. 1t is one of
the cases where mastery inactivity is advi-
sable. When the respective Democratic
factions have defined their positions and the
programme of each is open for inspection
and dissection, the proper course for the
Republicans will be made apparent. There
is no necessity for hasty committals, for
we know not what day may bring forth.
Let us be sure we are promoting the inter-
est of the Republican party before we in
dictate what our policy will be-. Neither
parties nor leaders were ever made in day
nor by single act. Convictions generally
are of slow growth, and are not always re-
fected in spasmodic outgivings and pas
sionate commissions. Let the test of time
be applied and the verification of successive
acts illustrate the policy to be adopted by
both of the Democratic factions in advance
of any distinct enunciation from the Re-
publican authorities. While thus waiting
and watching it will not be out OF place to
enjoy the confusion ard anxiety which will
attend the councils and schemes OF our po-
litical opponents. We hold the balance OF
power and may dictate terms and determine
results Let our strength be held well in hand
and directed where it will best secure the
aims of the Republican party and promote
the welfare of our State and section.

Hence these Tears

The Democratic newspaper correspondents
many of whom are snugly stored away in one
or the other of the following offices of the
Senate, are very indignant because the Repub-
iicans, having constitutional majority pro-
pose to appropriate these little crumbs to the
benefit of Republicans. To look over the al
Turing figures attached TO each office and all
to make these patriotic gentlemen weep. The
Republican furnishes a list of the offices and
the salaries, over which the correspondents
are shedding SO many tears. 1t would seem
reasonable if Gen. Malone has, by his indie
pendent vote, placed this patronage at the dis
pOsal OF the Republicans of the Senate, that
he should at least, have an equal say in it's
distribution:

just two years ago, the Democratic ma.
jority in the Senate, newly seated in pow.
er, after several days of caucusing, moved.
through Senator Wallace that The Senate
proceed to the election of secretary, SER
geant-at-arms, doorkeeper, chief clerk,
principal clerk, executive clerk and chap
lain. There were no vacancies in the posi-
tions at the time. The list comprised all
the elective officers Of the Senate, all the
other officials being appointees of the first
two named in the list. The motion, there
fore, was equivalent to the discharge of the
entire force Of the Senate employees, and,
following its passage, about sixty expe-
rienced, and by universal admission. eff
ficient officials, many of them ex-Union
soldiers, were discharged, and their places
filled by -Confederates and political re-
tainers OF Democratic Senators. al. men in
experienced in the functions which they
were selected to discharge. This is the pre-
cedent which the Republicans talk of fol-
lowing. 1t was the first Of its kind. And
because the Republicans, having ''consti-
tntional majority" propose to place in the
various positions thus to be filed, the
friends OF the majority, the Democrats raise
howl of virtuous indignation, asserting
that the service is to be obstructed by plac-
ing inexperienced men to discharge these
duties.
