NEEDS OF THE SOUTH.
Northern Brains, Enterprise and Capital
Invited by the South.

MONTGOMERY (Ala.), December 18th
The Southern Industrial aud Immigration
Convention assembled this morning in the
hall where, little more than quarter of q
century ago, the Southern Confederacy was
organized. To-day representatives of every
Southern State, including New Mexico and
Arizona, adopted what they believe is to be
practical plan for inducing Northerners
to come and make themselves welcome in
ali parts of the South.
The committee selected for the purpose
of drafting plan of organization looking
to the formation of permanent Southern
Interstate immigration Bureau for the pur-
pose of securing added population and
capital for the Southern States and Terri
tories reported, recommending that the
committee shall select a General Manager.
and that the committee and General Man
ager shall constitute the Southern Inter
state immigration Bureau. An Executive
Committee was chosen, consisting of T. F.
Nelson of New Mexico, Colonel B. F.
Childs of Texas and the General Manager.
A resolution was adopted declaring that
the South needed the immigration of
men who are capable of producing some
thing in addition to their immediate neces-
sites, and who would add to the intrinsic
value OF her lands and other property by
cnltlvatlpg and improving them; that the
South wants more mechanics more labor
ers, and men who have enough enterprise
to utilize and develop her wonderful
natural resources; who will build and
maintain factories and mills, manufacture
and handle her enormous and diversified
products, build railroads, improve her i'm
mense water power, and develop her min
eral resources.
The Executive Committee was instructed
to call a Convention in 1889, at such time
and place as they may deem best. The
Convention then adjourned sine die.

IMPORTED ACTORS.
The Theatrical Profession Injured by
Foreign Cheap Labor.


Foreign Cheap Labor.
WASHINGTON, December I3th.-A COM
mittee representing the Actors Order of
Friendship appeared before the Ford Com
mittee on the investigation of immigration
to-day, and asked that the contract labor
law be amended so as 20 include pro-
fessional actors and musicians among the
classes prohibited from entering the United
States under labor contract, under exemp-
ton. The committee said that a large
number of foreign actors were annually
brought to this country for the sole reason
that they would work cheaper than Amer
lean actors. They did not object to the
presence of stars, but to the host of minor
actors they brought with them, and to the
cheap grade of foreign actors whom Amer
can managers imported solely because of
their cheapness. Their profession was
already overcrowded, and they thought
themselves fairly entitled to protection
against the wholesale importation of cheap
foreign actors, who are under no obligation
to the United States, and left it when their
engagement was at an end.
The committee also complained that
wardrobes, stage properties and scenery
was ali imported, contrary to law, without
paying the customs duties and to the detri-
ment of Americans. This was done
through ballet girls and others falsely
swearing that their wardrobes and other
properties were their personal effects.

THE POPE AND IRELAND
Monsignor Persico's Report on the situa-
ton in Ireland,


LONDON, December 18th. - Monsignor
Persicos report on the Irish question is al
most completed. He directs attention to
the anomalous tact that all the governing
authorities in Ireland. from Lord Lieuten-
ant downward, are Protestants, and not
well disposed toward the Catholics. On
the other hand, he says the agrarian strug-
gle engenders outrage and a total violation
of moral laws. The Irish people refuse ab-
sOiutely to admit that theplan Of campaign
is criminal.
The Pope may still do much, provided
he can convince the Irish people that he is
not acting in accordance with any agree
ment with the English Government. The
people must be made to comprehend the
moral importance OF their acts. They must
not serve as an instrument OF those who,
under preJext of nationality, lead them to
the commission of acts that are contrary to
morality.
Monsignor Persico expresses the most ab-
solute disapprovsl of boycotting. He sig
mites the opinion that Irish political aspi-
rations must be satisfied before peace can
be restored
