IMMIGRATION.

4 great deal has been said recently in
regard to immigration, and especially
the immigration convention recently
held at Hot Springs, \. c.
Some of our cotemporaries seem to
have reached the conclusion that this
convention was Catholic scheme, got
ten up by Catholics, with q view
of filling up this country with Catho-
lies, ard that the State Board of Agri-
culture, in appropriating $1,000 to Sc
cure membership in this association,
was rather taken in. Things look a
little like the convention might have
been worked by Catholics for a pur-
pose, but we cannot say.
Of course State has no right to ap-
propriate money and give aid i'll an
undertaking like this to further the in
terests of any peculiar religious denom-
ination or sect, whether it be Catholic
or some other.
We do not believe, however, thatany
denomination or sect can control our
country and make their religious belief
the State religion. 1t was to secure
religious freedom-to be enabled to
worship God according to the dictates
of their consciences-tha caused the
Pilgrim fathers to give up their homes
in the old world, and come to this
country and endure hardships and pri-
vation, and that principle is one Of the
corner-stones on which our government
is builded, and We will never, in our
opinion, take any backward step.
But it is well for the people to keep
their eyes open. What We need also
watch in this matter of immigration is
that our country and section is not
overrun with lot Of pauper immi-
grants, who neither care nor desire to
work. We have here with US now
more pauper labor than we know what
to do with. That is not the class OF
immigrants we want now.
If are to attract immigration that
is desirable, we must show up the ad-
vantages of our country in its natural
resources. And to be overrun with
pauper labor is not an advantage. We
believe there is more to fear from an
overstock Of pauper immigrants than
from fear the country will be taken
possession of by Catholics or any other
religious sect. With free speech, a free
press, and an open Bible, we do not
believe the Catholics will be able to
control this country.
The people should look into this mat
ter, however, and if the Hot Springs
convention was Catholic scheme with
a purpose, they should not take part
and help further that purpose.

May 25. Comptroller General
THE MILK IN THE CocOASUT.

Ofcourse Mr.Tillman does not require
this statement from Mr.. Werner to as
sure him of the facts in the case. He
has made a careful study of the matter
and must have known all about it, but
what he did desire was to have the
comptroller general publish in the press,
and he has been gratified.
The simple sum and substance of this
whole affair is that in 1S78-'79 the in
terest on the public debt was not paid
in cash as it was in lSS6-'87. If it had
been, the expenditure of 1SS6-87 would
have been only S27, ,223.93 in excess Of
the expenditures in fhl lszsS sSss 90 IT Then n
again, how much OF the sSSo,oVo OF IN
terest paid in ls79-'S0 should be proper
ly credited to the previous years: In
1SS6-'S7 loan of SO, 900 was made to
the penitentiary and large appropria-
ton made for the State House-two
necessary and legitimate items of eX-
pense which had not to be incurred in

If this interest had been paid in cash
the excess of the fiscal year lo96-'S7 over

The reason of this mode of settlingthe

ton that the expenditures of our State
Government for the fiscal year 1887
were S24O, 900 more than they were in

ment, you can, from the official reports,
verify the correctness or incorrectness
ofthe assertion, and I take the liberty
of asking that you do so, giving the
figures as made up from the reports Of
the treasurer for the year in question,
viz, the year ending November 80, 1879,
and October 81, 1887. Your prompt at
tention will greatly oblige,
