A silent Work OF settlement.

An official statement gives the
number of immigrants arrived in the
United States for the fiscal year Of
1881, as 669,431. This is larger than
any previous year. Adding the sales
of public lands to settlers by the
government under one law or
another, and the sales of the great
railroad companies of the western
states and of Texas, to the advance
of population on the frontier of our
country, the silent work of settle
ment, without the noise of conquest.
has been wonderful in the past fiscal
year.
The immigration referred to has
been equal to the settlement of q
state three times the size of Massa-
chusetts, aud with twice the popu.
lation of Vermont and larger than
that of Maine. And thus have we u
phase in the nations new strength.
The boundaries of this new settle
ment are laid down on no map, and
its population figures in no census (;
but the addition of cultivated soil
and an industrious population Is as
real and significant as if the admis-
sion of such a state had been recog-
nized by law and registered
on the statute book. "The comb
ing wave of ocean GENES swelling
and breasting toward the shore, till
its soft green ridge bursts into a
crest of snow and settles and dies
along the whispering sands" But
the waves of emigration and immi-
grafton that comes breasting to-
wards the frontier of the republic
and settle upon the virgin soil along
the mighty rivers of the continent,
resolve themselves into empires,
silent in their workings and consti.
tuting part ana parcef OF thc
mighty voice of the nation.

EMPEROR WILLIAM, of Germany,
takes occasion to assert in very
strong language the power of kings.
In an imperial rescript, dated JAN
uary 4, he presents the divine power
in these terms:
"The right of the king to direct
the government and policy of Prus-
sia In accordance with his own judg-
ment is restricted, not abrogated, by
the constitution. The official acts
of the king require the counter-sig-
nature of a minister and are carried
out by his ministers, but they re-
main the official acts of the king, in
whose resolve they originate and
who in them gives constitutional
expression to his will. Therefore, it
is not permissible to represent their
exercise as proceeding from respon-
sible ministers. The Prussian con-
st;tution is the expression OF. the
monarchial tradition of this country,
whose development rests on the
living relations of its kings
to the people. These relations can
not be transferred to ministers, be-
cause they appertain to the person
of the king, and their, maintenance
is necessary for Prussia. tits. there
fore, my will that in Prussia, and
also in the legislative bodies of the
empire, no doubt will be allowed to
attach to my constitutional right or
that of my successors TO personally
direct the policy of the government.
1t is the duty of my ministers to
support my constitutional rights by
protecting them from doubt and
obscurity, and j expect the same
from all officials who nave taken the
oath of loyalty to me. l am far
from wishing to restrict the freedom
of elections, but the functiOnaries
entrusted with the execution of my
official acts are bound to support the
policy OF my government, even at
the elections. / shall acknowledge
the faithful discharge of this duty
and shall expect all officials, remem-
bering their oath of allegiance, TO
hold aloof, even at the elections,
from all agitation against my gov
crnment."

sheep Raising ON Cotton PIanta-
tions.

Ii seems TO me there is a plan OF
farming practicable IN the south
that would solve the labor question,
enrich the lands, enrich the farmer
and make things look little brighter
than all cotton, no money, no grub.
no clothes and big debts. Suppose
planter having 400 acres, which he
has always cultivated in cotton,
should divide his farm into four
fields, one OF which he should SOW to
grass-Bermuda, Japan clover,white
clover, orchard grass, blue grass,
red clover, or any kind of grass that
sheep, COW or horse would eat;
then one field in peas. one in corn
and one in cotton, Then get 400
head OF sheep--any kind will do
Craze the sheep on the grass till the
peas are ripe, then put the
them down, then feed the sheep
during winter with the cotton seod
grown on the place; this will make
1T rich enough to grow a crop of
cotton without manure; keep up
this rotation and soon all the farm
will be rich, and the profits of the
sheep will pay family expenses, or
the sheep may be sold as fat after
January, and will pay 100 per cent.
on the investment. sheep raising
on cotton plantations in ten years
would enrich every acre ofland and
every farmer in the south. There
are no people in the world that work
so hard, have so little of the COM
forts of life, as he who plants all cot
ton to buy his meat and bread.
Mr.. Oliphant is right. All our
troubles come from want of
" brains" or, at least, proper use
of what we have. This whole trou-
BILE can be solved in few words
plant less cotton and more corn,
wheat, oats, peas and grass. The
fact is, no people on earth ever
throve, or ever will, without grass to
Craze stock on. The cotton states
handle 40,000,000 sheep, and they
will make ten times as much manure
as is now purchased.
Brother farmers, don't you think
a nice mutton chop would be better
for breakfast than slice of pork

wha. Public spirit win Do.

Roanoke formerly Big Lick, Va,
is furnishing complete illustration
of the manner in which the south il
to be rejuvinated aud set upon the
high road to future greatness. Her
citizens with the aid of outside cap
italists, have now organized and in
full operation three companies, i'm
mense in dimentions and resources,
ali looking to the building up of that
community. The three companies
90 under the names of the Roanoke
Land Improvement company, the
Roanoke Machine company and
Roanoke Iron company, and two Of
them have paid up capital OF 5000
600; and at meeting ofthe stockhold-
ers it was determined that the third
company should increase its paid
up capital to 100000. The moDeyed
men of Roanoke have taken stock
largely in these companies, and by
this means have no doubt largely
contributed to the organization Of
this financial machinery, which ls
going to do so much in building up
that portion of Virginia. II Is true
that Roanoke has exceptional facil-
tiles for starting enterprises of the
description named above, but 1t is
also true that her own citizens have
done much towards drawing capital
and business to that place, and have
contributed largely of their own
means to foster such enterprises;
and their example should be fol-
lowed by business men of other
communities who have money at
their command

THE statement was made yester'
day to representative of the
STATESMAN that the members of q
family subjected almost Immediately
to case of small pox, the case be
ing in a house in closest proximity
to one occupied by this family, had
not yet taken that precaution
against the disease deemed abso-
lutely necessary through vaccina'
ton. That people may be found SO
oblivious to so vital q necessity, is
simply another evidence of human
shortcomings, often so hard to un'
derstand the doctors cannot, of
course, agree, for vaccination is de-
nounced as of no value whatever.
Some of the extremists of this party
even go so far as to say that it is
worse than the disease. The prac-
tical experience of every country in
the world during the last hundred
years, however, goes to show that
the great discovery of Jenner
has reduced to q minimum the
ravages of the disease, and that
when vaccination is administered
the safety of the person treated is
as nearly certain as anything well
can be. We print elsewhere an in
teresting Interview with well
known New York phi ysician on this
subject. The statistics he gives are
valuable and will outweigh the
sentimental theories of the medical
reformers whose imaginations seem
to have run away with their COM
mon sense. The value of vaccina-
ton has been tested. 1t is hardly
within the range of reaso nable dis
cussion. Considering the present
situation and the danger in which
everyone is more or less placed, it is
the part of prudence TO adopt the
precaution which science and exper-
ience alike prescribe as the best that
can be devised.

A MISSOURI senator, in reference
to the passage by congress offs bill to
pay the expenses connected with
the illness of president Garfield,
growing out of the assassination.
says: al regard such measure as
a dangerous assumption of power.
IL would be precedent that would
very likely cause US much trouble.
Our form of government does not
recognize favored class. In the
eyes of the law the president of the
United States is no better than any
other citizen; or, strictly speaking,
he is like every other public officer,
a servant of the people, and he has
no more right to have his expenses
and,his doctors bills paid out of the
national treasury than l have, or
postmaster who serves his country
at fifteen dollars per annum. The
president receives q salary of fifty
thousand dollars q year, besides q
large appropriation for the
contingent expenses of the
white house, q large portion of
which, as / understand, is used for
the subsistence of himself and fam
lily. Iregard the proposed measure,
and there are other senator's who
CONCUR with me IN this view, as an
improper use of the public funds.
The salary of the president was in
creased in order that he could bet
| ter meet any extraordinary ex-
penses." Upon being asked if the
case of the late president was not an
exceptional one, the senator said he
acknowledged it was, but called
attention to the recent statement o
Cyrus w. Field that 1851, ,S9l.72 had
been collected for Mrs. Garfield
$s11 900, of which had been invested
| in United States. bonds yielding an
Inually s12,4i0. The senator pre-
dicted that there would be opposi
| ton to the bill and that it woult
not come solely from the Demo
cratic ranks. He thought however
that it would pass, but not unit
| several senators and representative
had placed themselves on record
before its passage as against maxim.

THE Bastrop AdUertiser is uncom-
promisingly opposed to. the re-nomi-
nation of Governor Roberts. 1t
would be pleased to see Hon. John
Hancock named as the candidate,
and we are surprised 10 see the
Brenham Banner, published in a
community which was handled
against JudgeHancock in more than
one congressional contest, endorse
the preference of the Advertiser, say
ing 'the Bdnne,. knows of no man
in al of Texas who would make a
better governor, no one who has a
cleaner political record" The
STATESMAN has been pleased all
this time to endorse the ad.
ministration of Governor Roberts
and it hopes the wise
policies inaugurated by him will be
perpetuated. While it would bt
perfectly satisfied to see Governor
Roberts honored even with a third
term, it would not be less satisfied
to see the other eminent gentleman
made governor. Texas could hav'
no wiser one.

THE society OF the he0 Cross is an
international body having for its
object the alleviation of suffering
arising from war and pestilence.
Its headquarters are at Geneva,
Switzerland, where it originated in
1864. A document in the nature of
treaty was drawn up pledging
those nations willing to recognize
the society to accord it neutrality
in time of war, and to grant it every
facility for the transportation of
sanitary supplies, for the safe con-
duct of nurses, surgeons, assistants,
ETC., in return for which the society
its officers and assistants are pledged
to entire neutrality as between bel
ligerents- Twenty-Five governments
have signed this treaty, and the So
ciety has legal existence in every
one of them.

DIR. JAMES r. CABELL, and other
distinguished members of the board
of health, have been conferring with
the president as to the prevalence Of
small pox in this country, aud as to
means for guarding against the dis
ease. They have presented an ad-
dress, urging some action by the
president and congress, if necessary,
to enforce the recommendations of
the health congress, which met at
Washington several months ago,
touching the subject. The main
recommendations of congress were
that alIimmigrants not fecentlyyac-
cinated, be compelled to undergo
the process, and that quarantine
regulations be strictly enforced,
The president promises to consider
| the matter, and probably he viii
make il the subject of special mes
sage to congress, calling attention
to the alarming prevalence OF small
pox, and to the necessity for imme'
diate legislation looking to its sup.
preston.

SENATOR Coke was lately report
ed as having given encouragement
to Gnat Qurious-George Washing
ton Jones-Mahonism in Texas. He
how says he did not say any such
thing, and that the reporter has
grossly lied about him. This is
really what the STATESMAN
expected. To speak kindly of the
Henderson boom would certainly be
in opposition to the senator's past
political affiliation, and to quietly
get up and invite the gentleman
from Florida" to occupy his senate

sture. The best of friends mus
