only supported it in order to pre-

the course he did, and now he is
wiling to help anti-free-coinage

IMMIGRATION.
North Louisiana Editors For
mulate a Plan
To secure Desirable Settlers for This
section.

The North Louisiana Editorial I'm
migration Convention met Saturday,
June II, pursuant to call. The meet
ing was held in Judge G. d. Hicks
office.
The following newspapers were
represented: The Logansport News,
the Sabine Banner, the Lecompte
Messenger, the Louisiana Mentor, the
Alexandria Town Talk, the Ruston
Progressive Age, the Shreveport Pro
GREss, the Caucasian, and the Nacog-
doches Chronicle by invitation.
Judge c. D. Hicks, of The Pro GREss,
was made temporary charm an and
Colocel J. Z. Johnston, ofthe Louisi-
ana Mentor, secretary.
The purpose of the gathering was to
formulate plan to stimulate an inter-
est in immigration. What is best for
the editors ofnewspapers published in
North Louisiana to bring about a
movement. to secure desirable home
seekers and induce capitalists to in
vest in this section was freely dis
cussed.
Mr. F. NJ Welsch, of Alexaa alria,
presented forcible suggestions. He is
largely interested in real estate in
Alexandria, and has considerable
practical experience in immigration
He was confident people in the North
west could be pursuaded to come and
settle permanently in Louisiana, and
offered to subscribe S100 or more to
start the ball q rolling in Shreveport
or Caddo parish. He favored tine con
centrdtion OF efforts in one locality.
He thought the people had waited
long enough for something to turn
mp, and must awake to action before
the opportunities within their reach
are lost
Colapel Johnston aid that a prac-
tical movement was being insugu-
rated to secure home seekers in Bos-
sier parish, and the railroad compa-
nies have promised all encouragement
After an expression of views the
following report was adopted:
Whereas. l. ouisiana is one of the |
greatest agricu ltural States in the
world, her lands being adapted to the
tillsge of almost every plant indigen-
Gus to a Southern climate, whether it !
be agricultural, horticultural or flo
raj, and while strange as it may ap-
pear. more than 60 per cent of her
lands are yet in their wild primeral
state; and,
Whereas, her forests abound in val
1able woods and whose quality and
quantity considered for cabinet and
purposes are excelled by few
places on the globe.
Whereas, the great desideratum re-
from one end of the State to
he other by all patriotic public-spir-
ted citizens is greater number of
hrifty, intelligent white inhabitants
o cut away and manufacture our sur
,lus timber and bring our lands into
hat high state of cultivation OF which
hey are as remarkably susceptible; I
nd,
Whereas. it is the object and ,
i'm of this convention to sug- ,
est to the people of the
arious parishes here repre-
ented the most practical plan to Sc
ure desirable kind of immigration, :
nd further, as it well known prin- }
iple CT political economy that no
