Hicks-And you always follow his

says sell. Boston Transcript.

ININIGR ANTS.

The theory of the white men on our
western border is that there is no good
Indian except a dead one A good many
persons seem TO hold the same opinion
as TO immigrants In their opinion. there
Is no good immigrant. except dead one.
This prejudice against foreigners showed
great strength all over this country up
TO the time that Mr. Wise made his
celebrated campaign against the Know
Nothings. These Know Nothings mani
tested almost as much strength In BOO
as the silverites have manifested In 1896
and would no doubt have swept over
the whole Union If they had not made
war upon a religious body.
In the same line with the proposed
Know Nothing legislation in 1875 is the
immigration legislation proposed in 1896
barring out illiterate aliens. There Is at
the present time a deep-seated prejudice
against illiterate aliens, and we sup
nose we might say all aliens. There are
one or more powerful organizations In
this country whose motto is the same as
was that of the Know Nothings-nameiy'
"America for Americans" We In the
South do not hear much Of these organi-
cations Just now but in due time they
will turn up with members here, there
and everywhere Our attention was
called to the subject by the new immi-
grafton bin proposed recently by the
House of Representatives. one of our
exchanges says of IT.:
1.-THE present plan has features which
seem to make ii practicable. az TAR as
such a measure may be. An IDEAL I'M

feet justice in It's enforcement l. an IN
nossibilitv. The provisions OF any law
viii AT times exclude aliens who would
make very desirable residents, and again
IL will admit persons who are not to be
desired under any circumstances. Inc
chief advantage of the present bill Is that
the class against which II discrminatesr-
that of the iliterates-is, taken alto
eether. the class which embodies the
greatest number of least desirable immi-
grants. An illiterate man, also, i gene

maid. and who drags down the scale OF

| one who is untitled to take up the re-
! sponsibility OF free and Independent life,
which is borne by inhabitants of a
| republic.
"Whether or not the bill covers all the
| requirements of the situation must be de-
termined later on. 1t exempts from It's
operations the parents OF those aliens
who have already settled here. and no
doubt "A similar provision should be made
upon behalf OF the immigrants wives.
With these few exceptions. the general
Judgment of the public will be that a

THE sT. LOUIS DISASTER.

II may be several days before the exact
extent OF the loss of life and destruction
OF property caused by the terrific storm
that burst upon ST. Louis and vicinity
Thursday evening IS known. Fortunately
the first reports OF such disasters are apt
10 be exaggerated, and IL Is earnestly to
be trusted that this case will not prove an
exception 10 the rule. The general de-
moralization incident to a sudden vista
ton that carries with IT death wreck, ana
ruin seldom fails to render the most self
possessed of men incapable of making
correct estimates and often mere ruIdors
are assumed to be facts. Already several
reports Of wholesale loss Of life by the
destruction of certain specified buildings
IN the track of the storm have been de-
uied. and we may reasonably hope that
when the debris OF the fire. which added
horror TO the devastation wrought by the
wind, snail have been cleared away the
number Of victims found dead beneath
that debris will be much smaller than
had been anticipated.
Nevertheless. the disaster was one OF
the most appalling this country has ever
suffered. Discount the decentralization OF
the occasion and the sending out of I'M
verified rumors as we may. the fact re-
mains that st. Louis and vicnage has
passed through an ordeal which. in its
combination of tcrrors. has few parallels
The storm was almost phenomenal.
both I'm the velocity the wind attained
and the electrical discharge but 1t would
appear that its most destructive and
singular feature was the formation by
the first. or cyclonic, movement Of the
winds and the general atmospheric con-
ditions of secondary storm-centre. In
other words, there were two storms,
whirling death and wrecking property at
the same time.
Owing to this feature and TO other phe-
nomena observed during the approach
and progress of the storm and to the
fact that other sections of the West
and Southwest have been OF late visited
by cyclones of unusual force the st.
Louis disaster will doubtless be the sub
ject of more than common scientific in
vestigation and research. 1t Is certain
that in recent years the meteorological
conditions have undergone great changes
in many sections of the country. SIEVE
raj theories have been advanced to &C.
count for this. favorite one being the
mazes of railway trackage and electric
wires that stretch through the land
Whether there is any scientific basis foi
this theory we know not, but possibly
there IL. And. IL these factors have any
potential influence in producing cyclone:

Mr.. McKinley's friends may offer why

that this issue is no issue at all. 1t is
simply question whether Mr.. McKin-

THE DAVIS MONUMENT.
AN ADDRESS TO THE CHILDREN OF
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Richmond. Va. June 3. 1896

Richmond, Va, June ., 1879.
Being requested by the Davis Monu-
mcnt Association to make collections from
the children OF the South, desire TO STATE
to you our objects and the reasons that
actUate us plainly, but without malice or
ill-will towards any one:
l. We desire suitably TO honor our dead,
not claiming they were faultless. but that
they were true and patriotic men.
. We would honor them because they
loved us. and many thousands gave their
precious lives in our defence.
D. Ii is just and wise TO present TO you
the noble deeds OF your fathers and
mothers.
T. That their deeds were truly noble ana
their courage sublime, we appeal to we'll
known facts now of record.
D. our leaders were also men OF virtue
and intelligence. who Will compare IA
vorably with the greatest leaders in any
war OF which we have history.
g. The conflict was for principles and
compacts the most sacred known among
men
:. Our struggle was one Of self-defence.
We sought only a peaceab,e separation.
and this effort was approved by the then
commanding general Of the United States
Winfield Scott. We proceeded orderly and
according 10 law to secure IT, but failed
and were forced to fight; hence no blood
is upon our hands
s. We challenge all history to show
conflict conducted on higher moral
plane or in stricter accord with inter-
national law
9. We challenge the world TO show so
large a volunteer army Of intelligent. pa
trlotic. private Christian soldiery.
10. We demand even OF our enemies TO
produce a sisterhood OF greater devotion
TO country and 10 kindred than the south
ern woman-your mothers. who from first
10 last and amid untold privations, held
up the hands OF our brave and suffering
soldiery.
II. No man can reasonably ascribe our
defeat 10 a disappearing Providence. since
other natural and logical causes abound
ed-to-wit: Greatly inferior numbers, no
preparation in the beginning. no money,
no organized army or navy, and, lastly,
no recruiting ground.
r. Should you fail to appreciate these
sacrifices and count your fathers and
mothers az rebels. you will be guilty OF
the highest crime against the dead, and
stab to the heart their surviving comrades
who yet linger among us. IT'S impossible
to conceive you guilty Of such ingrati-
tude.
g. We ask. therefore. Of every one OF
you a contribution. however small, TO
build a temple in which TO enshrine and
make visible to all coming generations
that you are not the sons and daughters
Of rebels and traitors. but OF noble and
unseliish heroes who fought the great
battles for State sovereignty I'm the war
of 1876, and. finally we promise
a. That your contributions shall lay the
cornerstone. the foundation. OF great
temple 20 liberty and TO law. which shall
last til men learn war no more"
