Successful COlOniBatiOn.

About five years ago Bishops Spalding, |
ireland and O'Connor, all located in |
western Catholic dioceses, conceived the |
Idea II an Irish Catholic colonization
association that would have for its Oh
isct the removal of the poorer classes OF
Irish immigrants from large cities and
manufacturing towns to the great farm
ing lands OF the West. A stock company
was formed and S 600 acres Of land were
bought IN Greeley county, Nebraska, and
600 in Noble county, Minnesota These
were sold at easy figures to the Irish
settlers and yet in such sums as to ena
bile the investors to realize six per cent
interest on the capital invested. Schools
and churches have been built, habits of
industry acquired and up to a year ago
$4,000 had been realized in dividends by
the stockholders of the enterprise.
The plan having been crowned with
such marked success, 1t 10 now proposed
to enlarge its scope by interesting veal
thy Irish Catholics In the movement to
induce them to form syndicates for the
purchase of large tracts of land, and its
sale to actual colonists. Already q
Dublin capitalist who had bought %, 600
acres of land In Minnesota, has
colopized seventy Eve families, built a
church and is realizing handsomely on his
investment. The combination Of the
humane and commercial spirit In this
scheme should give it many attractions,
and 1t Is somewhat remarkable that 1t
has not been long ago put into practice
1t is upquestionably true that the slums
Of great cities are 6lled with those who
might, had the opportunity presented,
led honest and healthy lives on the
broad domains Of the Wet. And the
benefit of their removal to scenes of use
fulness must also be productive Of good
In making less difficult the struggle for
life of those who remain.
It would he well for all those who de
sire to see their countrymen from distant
shores auspiciously started In the New
World to examine with care this plan Of
colonization. That 1t is feasible has been
proved that 1t must In the end be sue
cessful both to Its projectors and colon
lists, cannot be doubted. It 10 true that
the homestead laws offer special advsn
tages to actual settlers but the govern
ment's work is done when the land is
under occupation while just at that
point the colonization plan alluded to
begins its bene6cent work. The pool
and oppressed of every CLINE should flud
q hospitable refuge on our shores, and
when q little effort will change them
from dead weights in the social fabric Il
factors in the nations progress, he who
lends his energies to that task becomes
great public benefactOr.

Ferrell. In 1881 she eloped with her
music teacher, Augustus Newoomb, and
married him. Her father cast her off.
