The ounding of colony is 9 matter
of great significance Few colonies IN

1T being the most gigantic colonial
undertaking of the ssGeteenth century,
its historical Importance cannot be
overestimated. The founders of this
colony me not with fire snd sword to
proclaim conquerors' rights. Theirs

with Id and int irrational treaty

those OF the Hudson Bay colony and OF
the East India colony, snd you will

tion of 1900 coo acres of land situated
in a semi-irOpicai zone, AMI one of the
most heaIthfui and favored spots on
earth its soil capable Of sustaining
almost every form of life, and with
capacity of twenty millions of peo-
pie. Under all these favored adv&nt-
ages, who can tell what the future has
in store for such a colossal enterprise?
Already colonies are gathering on
the coast of Europe, in the
New England States, along the
Gulf of Mexico, on the broad
prairies of the Mississippi basin, and
on the shores of the GreaT Lakes.
They are coming by the thousands and
tens of thousands. Not with the gilt
ter Of bayonets and the roll of heavy
artillery, but with the banners of peace
and the implements of civilization.
They are coming to build beautiful
homes, to plant fig lemon, olive,
orange and magnolia groves, and pass
their lives in the enjoyment of health
and possessions in land as near an
Eden as man on earth can ever hope
to reach"
