Irishmen, and the wide wastes Of
Russia brought from under despotism
will with her own green fields invite
back another generation of Russians.

ther meteor wandering through the
heavens will put its paw on our world
and stop it, and putting its panther
tooth into the neck Of its mountain
range will shake it lifeless as the raj

of America being overcrowded than
that the porpoises in the Atlantic
ocean will become SO numerous as to
stop shipping.
THE ADVANTAGE OF THE INFLUX Oh
NATIONS.
It is through mighty addition of for.
eign population to our native pOpula-
ton that think God is going to fill
this land with a race of people 95 per
cent. superior to anything the world
has ever seen. Intermarriage of fam
lilies and intermarriage of nations is
depressing and crippling. Marriage
outside of ones own nationality and
with another style of nationality is a
mighty gain. What makes the Scotch
Irish second to no pedigree for brain
and stamina of character, SO that blood
goes right up to supreme court bench
and to the front rank in jurisprudence
and merchandise and art2 Because
nothing under heaven can be more
unlike than a Scotchman and an
Irishman and the descendants of these
two conjoined nationalities, unless
rum filings them, go right to the tip
top in everything. All nationalities
coming to this land the opposites will
all the while be atfianced, and French
and German will unite and that will
stop all the quarrel between them, and
one child they will call Alsace and
the other Lorraine. And hot blooded
Spaniard will unite with cool blooded
Polander and romantic Italian with
matter of fact Norwegian, and hun
bred and fifty years from now the race
occupying this land will be in stature,
in purity of complexion, in liquidity
of eye, in gracefulness of poise,
in dome like brow, in taste, in intelli-
gence and in morals so far ahead of
anything now known on either side
the seas that this last quarter Of the
Nineteenth century will seem to them
like the Dark Ages. Oh, then how
they will legislate and bargain and
pray and preach and governl This is
the land where by the mingling of
races the race prejudice is to get its
death blow How heaven feels about
it we may conclude from the fact that
Christ, the Jew, and descended from
Jewess, nevertheless provided reli-
gion for all races, and that Paul,
though Jew, became the chief apos-
tie Of the Gentiles, and that recently
God has allowed to burst in splendor
upon the attention of the world Hirsch,
the Jew, who after giving ten million
dollars to Christian churches and hos
pitfalls, has called committee of ma
lions and furnished them with forty
million dollars for schools to elevate his
race in France and Germany and Rus
STA to higher intelligence and abolish,
as he says, the prejudices against their
race, these fifty million dollars not
given in a last will and testament and
at time when man must leave his
money anyhow, but by donation at
fifty-fve years of age and in good
health, utterly eclipsing all benevo-
lence since the world was created.
must confess there was time when I
entertained race prejudice, but, thanks
to God, that prejudice has gone, and
if / sat in church and on one side of
me there was black man and on the
other side of me was an Indian and be-
fore meswas Chinaman and behind
me a Turk, Iwould be as happy as Il am
now standing in the presence of this
brilliant audience, and I am as happy
now as l can be and live. The sooner
we get this corpse Of race prejudice
buried, the healthier will be- our
American atmosphere. Let each
one fetch spade and let us
dig its grave clear on down deeper
and deeper till we get as far down as
the center of the earth and half way
to China, but no further lest it poison
those living on the other side the earth.
Then into this grave let down the ac-
cursed carcass Of race prejudice and
throw Oh it all the mean things that
have ever been said and written be-
tween Jew and Gentle, between Turk
and Russian, between English and
French, between Monaghan and anti
Monaghan, between black and white,
and put up over that grave for tomb
stone some scorched and jagged chunk
of scorie spit out by some volcanic
eruption and chisel ON it for epitaph
"Here lies the carcass of one who
cursed the world. Aged, near six
thousand years. Departed this life for
the perdition from whence it came.
No peace to its ashes"
A RATIONAL VIEW OF THE CASE.
Now, in view of this subject, | have
two point blank words to utter, one
suggesting what foreigners ought to
do for us, and the other what we ought
to do for foreigners. First, to foreign
ers. Lay aside all apologize air and
realize you have as much right as any
man who was not only himself born
here but his father and his grandfather
