IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.

Facts and figures are often eloquent. In 1860 the population of Alabama was 96a,- POI, in 1890 1,513, ,017, an increase in thirty years of 54S, ,S16, and in the past decade of 250,000 This was greater increase than was made by South Carolina, Florida, Mis- sissippi or Louisiana during the same period of thirty years. Texas added to her population as much as any two States. The total increase in the South is 2 1885, TAO. The South has increased in popula- tion more rapidly than any other section of the Union, except perhaps few of the new Northwestern States. Now, where does the population come fron,7 Of course, the natural increase by the birth rate ac- counts for portion, but only small por- ton. The increase is not due to foreign immigration to any great axtent, such as populates so rapidly the West and North west. The proportion of foreign born to native born is very small in the South. It is an admitted fact that the South is more American than the other sections. The foreign born population in the South is chiefly confined to the mineral districts. The he-increase in the South is due to immi- grafton of native Americans from the North and West-men who have been forced from their homes by objectionable foreign immigration. The recent disasters in the Northwest will still further force immigrants to the South.

AS TO STRIKES.

The United States Court of Appeals, sit. ting at Chicago, has modified the famous strike injunction granted by Judge Jenkins. which, in effect, declared strikes neces- sarily illegal. The opinion read byJudge Harlan, holds that employees, singly or in a body, may refuse to work for any em. ployer. just as~sry employer may discharge apy-of-all of his workmen If he is dissatis- fled with them or finds it upprofitable to keep them at work. The inconvenience to the employer and the injury to the public are both admitted, but treated as evils they can be better borne than the invasion of the natural liberty of the individual.
 Justice Haflan holds, however, that any combination of employees to prevent others from entering the service they refuse or to cripple the property or bus1ness of those against whom the strike is aimed, is ille- gal. In other words, employees may quit any service, provided they do it peaceably, but they become law breakers as scon as they attempt by intimidation, threats or the use of force to prevent others from working or engage in acts intended to ob- struct railways or any other public or pri- vate enterprise, either by the destruction of property or otherwise.
 In other words the decision means that the legal power of the striker ends when he quits work, and that if he tries to pre-. vent others from working or to obstruct by other means the ordinary transaction of business, he becomes a punishable law breaker.

COOPERATIVE COLONY.

The Fairhope Industrial Association of Des Moines, la, has decided to locate a colony on Mobile Bay, Baldwin county, this State. The soil, climate and other conditions of Alabama were found more favorable than in any other Southern State. The colony will be conducted on the CO., operative plan. The single-tax idea will be adopted. The association will hold the title to all land and will lease to individ. uals. Non-interest bearing notes will be issued as a medium of exchange. The asso- citation stores will act as agents for the peo- pie, dividing the profits and selling and buying for them. The supplying of water, lights, etc., will be done by the associa. tion at cost. The people will engage in fruit raising, manufacturing, etc.
 The ideas of Henry George, Bellamy, Howelis, etc., will be put into practical operation. We trust the association will succeed better than similar attempts in the past.

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Of course it is o the interest of the Re- publican party to make it appear that the Democratic tariff law is injurious to the commercial interests of the country. MT. T. H. Aldrich is pursuing this policy, and in his public speeches he says that the Dem- ocratic tariff has stopped the shipments of coal from the Birmingham district to Cuba; that Spain has abrogated her treaty of rec iprocity with the United States; that con- sequently duty of 45 cents a ton has been put on coal shipped to Cuba from the United States; and that duty of "A bar rel has been placed on all flour imported into Cuba from the United States.
 The AGE H BRAID, desiring to get at the facts In the case, wrote to Senator Morgan, A and yesterday received the following reply,
 CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y., Sept. 20, 1894.

 bad to enquire of the State Department to
 V the information you seek. Spain agreed
 \1r. Blaine. to suspend certain of her
 k1es, ,Sn imports from the United Stat es
 plonies in the West Indies, while the
 tes should continue to admit sugar.
 free of duty, into our country.
 Nsuspended have not been rein s.asQlgdt suppose they will be, since we impose duty on raw sugars. We have no treaty with Spain on this subject. Mir. Blaine, under the Mckinley act, made a commercial agreement, not really binding on either country, because it was not treaty. That feature of the Mckinley law was most dan ger ous and should have been repealed, without reference to duty on sugar, hides, etc. It gave to the President the power to tax these articles and to put the burden on our own peo- pie in the event that he could not make an advantageous treaty with a foreign govern ment, and that without the consent of the Senate. Truly yours, JOHN T. MORGAN.
 So it transpres that there is no treaty after all between Spain and the United States-merely a commercial agreement. IfSenator Morgan had extended his letter he could have said further that Spain re- moved the duty on coal into Cuba not to please the United States, but to please the Cubans. The Cubans rebelled against this tax, and it was removed. If Spain puts back the duty on coal it will be done to increase the royal revenues at the ex- pense of the Cubans, and there will be an- other rebellion in Cuba.
 AS to the duty of S4 barrel on flour im- ported into Cuba, we learn by reference to the Tribune Almanac for 1894 that flour was not included in the dutiable articles.
 Senator Morgan draws attention to the dangerous character of the power conferred upon the President under Blaine reciproc- ity clause. It places in the President 8 hands the power of taxation. The Anglo Saxon race has shed it's richest blood to wrest that power from Kings and poten- tates. Yet that clause was in keeping with other legislation of the Republican party-it never forgot the interest of the classes at the expense of the common mass of the common people. Its total ten- dency was toward the centralization of power.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Hoyt's s'A Black Sheep" was the at. traction at O. Brisn S last night, and large audience was present to witness the per- formauce. Much had been expected of this attraction, as Hoyt had claimed for it a superiority of his highly artistic per- formance, IA Trip to Chinatown" In this particular there was a vast difference of opinion, inasmuch as the play was in part devoid of sense of propriety, es- pecially so in one or two remarks made by "Hot Stuff,o the leading character. "Don't do anything until see you,' an expression uttered to the queen of bur. lesque as she left the stage, would have been best unsaid. It might do in Arizona, but the south Is not particularly taken with such remarks. Barring this inexcusable error the play is up to date.
 Otis Harlan and Miss Belle Black, the leading characters, were par excellence the former being capital es an actor in the role of "A Black Sheep" and the other as a shapely and handsome woman.
 The others in the cast were decidedly clever, and no grievance can be laid at their doors for the work they did.
 Miss Hattie Wells gave some very artistic exhibitions of fancy dancing; in fact, she can truthfully lay claim to being the most graceful and capable danseuse ever seen at O'Brien's.
