OUTLOOK FOR HoMEsEEKERs.

Mr.. w. r. Thompson OF Johnstown. Pa.
has been contributing some able papers
to the Philadelphia press with references
to the emigration OF Northern people to
the South. He sees relief OF the conges-
ton OF labor Ia the Eastern States II the
laborers will only look to the possibilities
OF agriculture aud other kinds OF work In
the South.
In recent Communication to tho Phila.
delphia Press sir. Thompson says;
1.-The question divides itself into two
phases OF consideration. The hrst iu-
wolves an honest Investigation into the
causes n that unrest which has 10 gem
orally prevailed recently among our labor
ing and wage classes. | am impressed
with the belief that the most vital inter-
ests OF our country demand an effort to
remove that unrest prior 10 another gem
erai election. There are forces of distn-
tegrntirn 30 potent and all-pervading at
work that | conceive ~ to be dangerous
In the extreme, II not criminaliy nnmind-
full TO the duty We owe to coming gem
erations, to longer disregard them. There
Is due to our country something more
than mere talk now TO show these dissat-
isfed classes that they are wanted in the
social compact that holds this govern
ment together. They must have honest
sympathy and Just as honest mn effort 10
relieve their wants and help them 10 be-
come once agaan useful members Of the
body politic.'
Then and under such circumstances II
IL that Mr.. Thompson suggests the posi-
bilities OF Eastern labor finding profitable
occupation In the South. He Is not espe-
cially moved by interest in the South.
but regard for HIS own State enables him
to map out course for the labor element
that has every hope Of success.
The South wants immigrants Of the right
sort and will eagerly welcome them. but
It Is iust as we'll TO say to Mr.. Thompson
and those disposed 20 act with him that
the South IS hardly In need OF an addition
to her supply OF common labor. She has an
abundance OF that now aud it is rather
poorly paid. What we want Is an incomer
with enough money TO purchase his home.
To such we can assure not only living,
but big profits, after the possibilities Of the
section are learned. This Is an agricultural
section with money In II.
