With . climate unsurpassed by any
other portion OF the globe; with q soil
capable of producing everything grown
In the temperate zone; with extensive
forests, inexhaustible mineral resources,
splendid harbors. humorous nsvigable
rivers and abundant water power; with
schools, colleges. churches and refined
and hospitsble people. 1t only lacks i'm
migration and capital to make 1t, within
the next twenty years, the most pros
porous section Of this great republic.
What has been said of the South in
general applies to Virginia in par!icu-
lar, rs, taken sll In all, in climate,
soil. people and great undeveloped re-
sources. there Is not fairer land on
she globe. or one with greater possibili-
tiles. Here man in his highest intel
leotual and physical attributes has al.
ready reached his full development:
horses which have proven monarchs of
the turf have been reared In this State,
and Eli Of the animal and vegetable
kingdom that can be grown in the same
latitude, and in the genial climate and
life giving soil of Virginia everything
conducive to complete maturity. AL
ready the enterprising people of Geor-
gia, Alabama and Texas are working
hard to make the most of the situstion.
An immense colony OF Federal veterans
of the late civil war will settle in the
hrst named State, and agents Of all
three are exerting themselves vigor-
ously to secure immigrants from the
North and elsewhere, Virginia should
not be laggard in this great work.
immigration societies should be organ
lied all over the State to be directed by
central one with headquarters In Rich
mond, no that the world outside may
become acquainted with the splendid
advantages offered homeseekers in the
garden spot OF the Union. The great
southwest in particular should waste no
time in the effort to bring capital and
immigrants here. A colonization
society should be formed and an Office
established at Columbus, Ohio, to
CO operate with the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company in its laud-
able efforts to bring immigrants
thither.
Truthful statistics in regard to the
industries and RESOURCES of this section
should be prepared and be ready for dis
semination before the close OF the
Atlanta Exposition, 80 that vigorous
work along that line may be commenced
and carried on, with Ohio. Indiana, ILL
nois and the northwestern States as the
basis Of operations. The field is
splendid one; the opportunities for
building up this section are grand. and
IL our people will work out the issue
with their characteristic energy, fore
sight and determination, success IL cer-
tain In the end. Lat Virginians every
whore 20 to work to build up their re-
specsive localities. and It will not be
decade before the most marvellous
changes for the better will result. while
before the period of another generation
elapses, the mother of commonwealth
will have assumed once more her proper
position in the first rank of the sister
hood OF States, both materially and in
tellectually.

The possibilities OF the South as a
place for bome-seekers are practically

1t to it's proper phase in the Union OF

THE monument to Maryland heroes,
unveiled at Brooklyn yesterday, is
another proof that the charge of in
gratitude against republics does not ap-
ply to the people Of the United States.
One hundred and nineteen years ago the
American army, after being disastrously
defeated by the British on Long Island
WAS saved from destruction while in full
retreat by the heroic stand OF Mary
land regiment. OF the four hundred
men in this command more than one-
half Was killed in desperate charge.
1t is we'll that such noble example of
patriotism and self-sacrifice should be
fttingly commemorsted. BY exalting
the courage and patriotism of these
martyrs to the cause of freedom, the
minds of the young are imbued with
the same lofty sentiments and similar
examples Of devotion made possible
whenever the country's cause demands
the sacrifice.

BLUM AND JACkLING GRASPING.
Not satisfied With Escaping Prison,
They Ask for. Reward

Portland. July 1.-THE notorious Nat
Blum and w. B. Jackling, not content
with their fortunate escape from the
clutches of the law in the Lotan-Seid
Back smuggling case, today shocked the
Federal officials by fling petition in the
United States circuit court asking fer a
large compensation for betraying their
fellow smugglers, tessifying at the trials
for the prosecution, and for having fur
nished Information which led 10 the seiz-
ure of the old Haytian Republic, the
vessel employed in carrying coolies and
opium to this port. Petitioners lacking
and Blum claim that their services were
largely instrumental in securing judg-
ment in favor OF the government. They
want Ss.eoo as remuneration, half of the
proceeds OF the sale OF the Haytian Re-
public.
The United States district attorney ex-
pressed the opinion that the smugglers
had already received all they were en-
titled to in exemption from prosecution.
