The references which the Commissioner OF
Agriculture makes in his last annual report 70
the subject Of immigration show very plainly
that this means Of building up the State has
never vet been properly used. Tho adyau-
tages which would result from more ener-
getic and systematic encouragement of immi-
grafton have always been recognized. but
there has been a conflict Of opinion as to the
best method Of promoting it, AID the appro-
priations have been small.
In spits Of the fact that the action of the
Board Of Agriculture the Committee on In
migration and the Commissioner has been so
seriously hampered by lack Of funds reports
from forty-three counties show that IN tie
course Of the last three years 1854 persons
from foreign countries and other States of the
Union have settled in Virginia. largely upon
the strength of inducements which the autho-
rites in charge of immigration have been able
to extend with their limited facilities.
OF the two methods which have 30 far been
adopted to attract attention TO the yorious
advantages which Virginia has to offer, the
employment Of an agent and the distribution
of printed matter the employment of an
agent seems 10 have given most satisfaction to
those who were in position to form a cor
rect Judgment as to which plan would be
wiser. The plan of having an agent was
abandoned on account of the strong Oppos-
ton which it aroused. The plan Of distribut-
inc printed information has been carried on
with as fair degree OF success rs could he
expected in the light Of the small fund which
was allowed for it.
The Commissioner is right in the statement
which he embodies in his report that only a
system Of selected immigration will promote
the interests Of this State. Virginia is only
anxious to obtain class Of immigrants who
have the meass to secure homes in Our COM
munites at once upon their removal hither
For this class our Commonwealth unQuestion-
ably furnishes very exceptional advantages if
a moderate degree of Judgment is shown by
these immigrants upon their arrival in choos-
ing properties upon which TO make a perma-
nent settlement
The correspondence Of the Agricultural De
partment reveals that a large number of the
most valuable immigrants. men of character
industry and means with their families. are
leaving the colder and more densely popu-
lated States of the North and Northwest and
are seeking a milder climate and a soil with a
greater range Of productions. 10 is believed
that if appropriations were made by the State
which would allow of the appointment of
special agents and the distribution of care
fully prepared literature setting forth with
out exaggeration the favorable agricultural
conditions of Virginia very consider
able proportion Of these immigrants could be
\ induced TO buy farms in this State.
II highly probable thatin the course of the
next two years the subject Of immigration viii
be takenup byour Legislature with energy and
determination and a plan formulated and the
required appropriations made that Will re-
move all the serious obstacles which have led
TO so much disappointment and failure in this
! field in the past.

TEE extreme illness of the Duke Of Clarence

OF many people with which ID was never he

that death would have no special significance.
as his brother Prince George a more capable

In case Of the death OF both brothers without
issue. the present heir apparent would not
be lacking in heirs, as he has three daughters
living. one Of whom. the Duchess of Fife. is
the mother of daughter. The immediate de-
cendants Of Victoria are very numerous in
the first. second and even third generations.
and there is, therefore. no danger Of q vacancy

The recent proclamation OF the Mississippi
Valley Cotton Growers Association assem-
bled at Memphis that the area devoted to cot
ton must be curtailed and more attention
paid TO food products enunciates a very prop
er sentiment but the difficulty so far has
been to induce the cotton planter to listen.
There have been a long succession Of similar
proclamations, but they have accomplished
no real good. The only influence that is eff
fective in its operation is the reduction Of tho
price of cotton below the cost of production.
This is a practical argument to which tho
planter IS forced 10 listen. The dis
position 10 make Up in quantity for
deficiency in price is natural one
and it is as old as the culture Of
tobacco and cotton on the American continent
There is but one certain cure for it-namely.
