The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1882-04-26

Since the authority to regulate immigra-
ton and intercourse between the United
States and foreign nations rest with the
Congress Of the United States and the
treaiy-making power, the R publican party,
regard ing the unrestricted immigration OF
the Chinese as a matter of grave concern
meut, under the exercise of both thes-
powers, would limit and restrict that immi-
grafton by the enactment of such Just,
humane, and resonable laws and treaties as
will produce that result.
Upon the Chinese plank in the above
platform Gen. Garfield in his letter of
acceptance said
The material interests of this country, the
tradition Of its settlement, and the senti-
ment Of our people have led the Govern
ment 70 offer the widest hospitality to emf
grants who seek our shores for new and hap
pier homes, willing to share the burdens as
well as the benefits Of on society, and in
tending that their pOsterity shall become an
undistingEisha5le part of oar population.
The recent movement Of the Chinese to our
Pacific coast partakes but little ofth quail
titles Of such an immigration, either in pur-
poses or its result. Ii IS too much like an
importation to be welcomed without restrie-
tions, too much like al invasiOn to be looked
upon without sOlicitude. :
1t will be the duty of Congress to mitigate
the evils already felt, and prevent their iu-
crease by such restrictions as without VIC
lence or injustice, will place upon a sure
foundation the peace of our communities,
and the freedom and dignity Of labor.
The National Greenback Convention
of 1880, passed the following resolution 4:
Slavery being simply cheap labor. and
cheap labor being simply slavery. The imnor.
tation and presence Of Chinese serfs necessa-

can labor; therefore immediate steps should
be taken to abrOgate the B~uriingame treaty.

Ten Years married.

Ten years, a decade, seem to make but q
short cycle of time, but there may be a
world of happiness, of joy, of peace and of
content, or grievous burthen of sorrow, of
woe, of distress and of misery evolved from
the passing days, weeks, months and years
Of such period Our reporter is not in
the mood to philosopher or to moralize,
otherwise he might paint upon the back
ground OF ten years pictures, some all
glowing with sunshine, sweet bits OF green
woodland, waving grass and silyery waters
here and there some sombre with shade MS,
lowering clouds and threatening gorges and
mountain sides, and Others weird, fantas-
tic, picturesque.

Old "Reminiscences

The first Protestant minister who ever
preached a sermon west of the Mississippi,
on this continent, was Elder James Kerr, a
Baptist preacher. He preached the funeral
If his own wife, eighteen miles west of st.
Lonis. in 1893. He and she had Travelled on
horseback from Boyle county, Kentucky,
N visit their daughter in St. Louis
connty. Missouri Thence they went TO
me Boones-lick country, and on returning,
Mrs. Kerr became sick from eating green
corn. five miles before reaching her daugh-
ter's house, and died on what was atterward
known as the Richardson farm. Her hus-
hand preached her funeral under the Span
iSn government in 1883. Mrs. Kerr was
a Miss Wells. She was the grand
mother of John Henry Brown, a
rrand.aunt of p. S. Piouts of the
Dallas HERALD, full aunt of the
great West Virginia orator, Philip Dodd-
ridge a sister OF the General Wells who
figured under General Harrison in the war
Of lSl2-l5-a sister of the man for whom
Wellsburg, Virginia, and OF the man for
whom Wellsville, Ohio, we're named,
and great aunt of Mrs. General
Cabell, Of Dallas. Her memory, by
her immediate descendants, is held
sacred. Her sons and daughters
have borne honorable repute in their sew
eral vacations in life. Her elder son, James
Kerr, was the founder of Gonzales, Texas,
encouragement of the colonies OF DE Witt
and De Leon, and man Of such worth
that Kerr county was named Tor HIM.
Richard Kerr, her second son, was eight
wears member of the Missouri legislature,

Missouri, January 20, 1910. The daughters of
the elder Kerr, as the sons, are

tered from Baltimore to Oregon
and Texas. In their veins runs the
blood of many of the most eminent men
and women of the great west and south
west, ana this Renaissance is written to ell

The better to enable the descendants to
recognize each other, it should be said that
Mrs. Kerr was born Patience, the daughter
of Colonel Richard Wells, of the Maryland
line in the revolutionary army. She was
one of twenty brothers and sisters by
one father, who had two wives. BY each
wife Colonel Wells had six sons and six
