THE NATIONAL CONGRESS.

The second session of the Fiftieth
Congress, which met on Monday, the
3rd inst, expires by limitation on the
4th of March, 1889. An hour and
three-quarters were consumed in the
reading of the Presidents message,
which contained twenty-five thousand
words, but was listened to with
marked attention throughout. DR..
Milburn, the eloquent, though blind,
Chaplain of the House of Representa-
tives, in his opening prayer, COM
mended to Almighty God the
protection of the President-elect in
the following words: "Amidst the
perplexities by which he is beset, IN
der the solemn sense of the response
bility of his great trust, grant him a
sense of thy presence and comfort;
guard his person from all peril and
danger, preserve him in perfect health
of body and mind; vouchsafe him
light and cheer, and be thou the
strength of his heart, and his portion
forever"
Several important bills were intro
duced in the House, which will be
watched with great interest by the
people of the country. On the 18th
inst. Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, intro
duced a bill to regulate immigration,
which provides that no alien shall be
admitted into the United States who
is an idiot, insane, a pauper, or liable
to become a public charge, or who has
been legally convicted of a felony or
other infamous crime or misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude or who is a
polygamist, anarchist or socialist, or
who is afflicted with any loathsome or
contagious disease, or who has entered
into any contract to perform labor or
service for any person, firm, or cor

.PAUPER

South Durham Alliance, No. $50,
has struck the keynote on the immi-
grafton question. At a recent meet
ing it adopted the following resolu-
tons unanimously:
Resolved, That we are emphatically
opposed to the continued inhuex of
paupers fl ON Europe into this country,
whose th~riftlessness and anarchial and
communistic views are breeding dis
content wherever they locate and
whose ~disloyalty to good government
and law affects the character of labor
and brings it into disrepute.
Resolred, That we, the farmers and
laboring men protest against the
further admission of these classes to
our shores, and demand protection at
the hands of the law-making power.
Resolved, That the various Subor-
dinate and County Alliances Of this
State are hereby early requested to
give us their hearty cooperation in
this vitality important matter by their
endorsement of these resolutions in
such form as we may present it to our
Representatives in Congress and to
our State Legislature.
Resolved, That The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER be. requested to publish these
resolutions.

WHAT SHOULD THE SOUTH DO3

On the 18th inst. the great Immi-
grafton Convention will be held in the
city of Montgomery, Ala. 1t is ex-
pected that all of the Southern States
will be largely and strongly repre-
sented. 1t is known that parties
largely interested in railroads, look on
the movement with. great favor. But
what is the duty Of the South :? The
great State of Texas took the initial
step in this important movement. The
other States of the South have ten
dered their hearty and ready acquies-
cence It. is possible that this may
prove to be fraught with results which
if fully revealed to us now, would be
startling in their magnitude. The
farmers of the South hold in their
hands the key to the solution OF a
great problem. They own the lands
on which the proposed immigrant
must settle or which he must till.
They own the forests whose timbers
must be wrought into articles of COM
merce. They constitute the basis upon
which our new population must aid in
building up a new social and industrial
organism. They are struggling with the
most ~stupendous question that has
ever confronted a people in all history.
| They are in the most intimate contact
with a race, dependent and ignorant,
yet which is upon terms of absolute
civil equality with them, and yet
| which can never rise to a plane OF
social equality, and whose very pres
ence deters others from coming among
us. We have the ~unoccupied land,
we have the climate and every natural
advantage and attraction to invite the
best class of home-seekers to our bord-
ers. But we are not willing, nor will
we encourage any policy that would
deluge this fair land with the OF
Europe's reeking population. We
believe that the Southern landowner
feels the paralyzing weight of surplus
land, and he would gladly rid himself
of it, but he will W. agree to see it
pass into the hands of the mongre]
hordes which are crowding our shores.
We trust that the approaching con
v%ention will truly represent Southern
interest and Southern sentiment, which
we believe to be, to invite the true
native-born American citizen to come
and be our neighbor. We do not meeo
laborers, but a0e do need ~nesghbors.

Congress, on the day set apart for the

In the Senate, Mr. Butler introduced

For the first week of a new session,
an unusually large amount of public
business was transacted.

date the two organizations, which was
unanimously adopted"
(The next issue of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER will contain a full report OF
the proceedings of the consolidated

Mr.. ED1ToR:-Please allow me,
through the columns of The FARMER,

sent them in the County Alliance In
stitute. This Institute Will be for
mally organized and installed for
work at the January meeting of the
County Alliance, and it is greatly de-
sired that the entire working force be
