The national leader., 1889-03-23

Politics and governmental affairs being
corrected on the other side of the
waters, ireland, under different regula-
tion turned into garden, will invite
back another generation of Irishmen,
and the wide wastes of Russia brought
from under despotism will with his own
green fields invite back another gener-
I'atiOn of Russians. And there will be
hundreds of thousands of Americans
every year settling on the other contin-
entS. And after a number of GEN.
tureS, all the earth full and crowded,
what then? We'll, at that time, some
night, a panther 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 rat-terrier rat. So 1 have no
more fear of America being overcrowd-
ed than that the porpolses il the At
lantic Ocean will become 50 numerous
as to stop shipping.
1t is through mighty addition of for
eign population to our native popula-
tion that think God is going to fill
this land with race of people ninety
five per cent, superior to anything the
world has ever seen.
HOW HEAVEN FEELS ABOUT IT
we may conclude from the fact that
Christ, the Jew, and descended from
Jewess, nevertheless provided re-
liglon for all races, and that Paul,
though Jew, became the chief apostle
of the Gentiles, and that recently God
| has allowed to burst in splendor upon
the attention of the world, Hlrsch, the
Jew, who after giving ten million dol
lars to Christian churches and hospitals,
| has called committee of nations, and
| furnished them with forty million dol
lars for schools to elevate his race in
France and Germany and Russia to
higher Intelligence, and abolish, as he
says, the prejudices against their race;
these fifty million dollars not given in
last will and testament, and at time
when man must leave his money any
how, but by donation at tifty.fve years
of age, and in good health, utterly
eclipsing all benevolence since the
world was created. l must confess
there was time when I entertained
race prejudice, but, thanks to God that
prejudice has gone; and if l sat in
church, and on one side of me there
was black man, and on the other side
of me was an Indian, and before me
was Chinaman, and behind me
Turk, l would be as happy as am
now standing in the presence OF this
brilliant audience; and 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 centre Of the
earth and halfway to China. but no
further lest 1t poison those living on
the other side the earth. Then into
this grave let down the accursed carcass
of race prejudice, and throw on it all
the mean things that have ever been
said and written between Jew and Cen
tile, between Turk and Russian, be-
tween English and French, between
Mongolian and anti-Mongolian, be-
tween black and white, and put up over
that grave for tombstone 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 i came.
No peace to its ashesl'
A WORD TO FOREIGNERS.
Get out your naturalization papers.
Don't talk against our institutions, for
the fact that you came here, and stay,
shows that you like ours better than
any other. If you don't like them
there are steamers going out of our
ports almost every day, and the fare is
cheap, and, lest you should be detained
for parting ciyilities, l bid you good
bye now. But if you like it here, then
l charge you, at the ballot box, in leg
islative hall, in churches, and every
where, be out-and-out Americans. Do
not try to establish here the loose
foreign Sabbaths, or transcendentaljsm
spun into religion of mush and moon
shine, or foreign libertinism, or that
condensation OF all thievery, scoundrel-
ism, lust, murder, and perdition, which
in Russia is called NihIlism, and in
America called AnarchiSm. Unite with
US in making, by the grace of God. the
| fifteen million square miles of America,
on both sides the 1sthmus of Panama,
the paradise of virtue and religion.
My other word suggests what
Americans ought to do for foreigners.
BY ali possible means explain to them
our institutions. Coming here, the vast
majority of them know about as much
concerning republican or democratic
form OF government as you in the
United States know about the politics
of Denmark or France or Italy or
Switzerland, namely, nothing. Ex-
plain to them that liberty in this coun-
Try means liberty to do right, but
NOT LIBERTY TO DO WRONG.
Never in their presence say anything
