THE MEvhGERIF.

All who went to tho Exposition saw
the ueuagcrio Of Nr. John Lcsncr but
very few saw the animals from shelby r
circus. because they are IN a tent and
there i5 no SIGN outside to tell the pub
%. what it contains The sidc-canVns
should be removed during the day, or
the words "l'Iec Show ' should be put
on tie outside. As it isa Great many
people rightly think the contents Of the
tent are not intended for public gaze, or
that the flt woman or living skeleton are
on exhibition. and that a dime or nickel
rs uccc- --ary 10 enter.
Mr. Icsrcr has an idea Of making his
show here u permanent cne. With the
addition Of some hrpc animals very
good geological garden could be started
and would bee quite an attraction to add
o. the sights Of tine city.

ton and higher developments of the
race.
TO my mind immigration is one OF
the finest opportunities for missionary
work ever furnished people.
Some make this the great argument
against immigration. They dread the
introduction of an element which will
bring into our midst Catholicism and
heathenism lest our Christianity be-
comes marred and our Professionalism
corrupted.
Such fears grow out of want of a
confidence in the solid forces of Chris.
tianity. :,
If it is desirable to convert the world
to the truth by sending single mission.
aries to the land of darkness then it
strikes me that to encourage immigra-
ton is a much better plan than the
sending missionaries, since 1T would
make more solid our Christian, forces
and lessen the power of opposition,
Wisely conducted, I believe that the
system of fimmigrationwould be the best
and fastest plan for Christianizlng the
world and that we as a peope should
exhaust our efforts in this direction be-
fore we consume too much time. mon
ey, and men in our present missionary
projects.

immigration.

Much is now being said all over our
State on the subject of foreign immigra-
tion and as it is one of the living sub
jects which cannot be deferred, it is
we'll for every one who has any inter.
est of the future of this country, to try
to have intelligent views of the en-
tire subject. There are some things
to be taken into consideration, as i'm
peratively in favor of Immigration, and
should not be lost sight of in investi-
eating the subject.
That we have in our Southern coun-
try vast sections, which ought to be
taken up, and improved, there can be
no doubt, and that this is absolutely
necessary to the material growth and
prosperity of this country, is also an
equally admitted fact.
This admitted, we are naturally led
to inquire, What can be done that all
this may be realized?
immigration seems to be the only
means, however much we may fear
and misgive as to the best methods to
regulate the matter.
Our present population is not suffi-
cient to bring about the much needed
ucfclOpLucuU 0NOh IL al "SAS VI ehS
best class of laborers, but when we
take into consideration how meagre
are our efforts, after our old-fashioned
methods, we are led to think it would
take centuries to bring about the con-
dition of things now needed.
A successful system ofimmigration is
the thing needed, and nothing can be
made to take its place.
The scarcity of laborers in the South
with the vast territory, and the great
demands for them, tend to demoralize,
and what would otherwise be profita-
BILE is rendered useless.
One of the most universal com.
plants of our times is the unreliable.
fty of labor. It is in demand, and YET
can not be controlled.
immigration would certainly bring
more competition, and thereby en-;
nance the value Of both capital and
labor.
OF course something should be done
in every act encouraging immigration
to restrict or hold it amenable to our
Christian civilization, so as not to be
crushed by it, and at the same time
make it a grand system for the educa-
