BOER IMMIGRANTS.

In our dispatches yesterday ii was stat
ed that 1t was probable that at the close
of the South African war large number
of Boers-between 10000 and 12OOO-would
come to this country. A good many
invitations have been sent to them
from people and societies to make their flu
ture homes here.
1t is probable that if the British are
successful a few of the Beers will leave
South Africa, but the great majority of
them will not There is no particular
reason why they should. They will have
practically as much personal liberty as
they ever habitat is, they will have con-
troll of their local affairs and will not have
to pay any more taxes. They will not
be as well satisfied as when they were in
dependent. but they will not be the nc
Tins of oppression.
II is certain that those who remain in
South Africa will be far happier than
those who go elsewhere. They are accus-
toned 10 the conditions which prevail
there and they know just what to do in
order to make a living. In this country
everything would be strange TO them 1t
would take them a generation to get ac-
customed to the change. 1t might be a
good thing for their children to come to
this country. but it would be better for
them to remain where they are
The very general understanding is that
they are not a Woodworking people. They
have never studied bow 10 get the best re-
turns from the soil. They give about all
of their attention to cattle raising. To
get along in this country they would have
TO work steadily and would have a great
deal to learn in order 10 become success
full farmers. And not knowing the Ian
guage they would not find their surround
ings very congenial
1t is doubtful if many Of them will come
here and il is a question whether they
would act wisely in coming. IL any of
them were TO come, however, they would
receive a cordial welcome.
II is probable that the climate of the
Southern states would suit them better
than that OF any other section of the
country. Besides in the South land can
he obtained al less price per acre than in
the East or the West. 1t will be time
enough TO discuss the question of loca-
ton, however, when there are some as
surances that a very considerable number
OF them have decided to make their homes
/ in the United States.

The best fighters are those Who have an
incentive for fighting. The suggestion
comes from Macon that the time is now
ripe for the colored washerwoman of the
South to settle scores with the Chinese,
who nave invaded their sphere of en-.
deavor and largely superseded them in
business which had been peculiarly their
own from time whence the memory OF
man runneth not 10 the contrary. In
Macon a day or two ago, according TO the
News, a big, fat. ebon-hued washerwoman
with a bundle of clothes on her head, was
heard to say that if the United States
government would take women as SOL
diers, she would volunteer and 60 to
fight the Chinese, and that she knew of
a number of others who would do the
same thing. I'VE kin git up six cump-
MES in Macon" She said, IAN I know
kin whip whole psssle o. dem Chlua-
mems; OATS jist whatTI Kin" The proba-
biiities are that the sentiments of the Ma
con washerwoman would find an echo in
the hearts of Aunt Dinah, Maum Phoebe
and Sis Chloe in every city of the South,
where the Chinaman has unrolled his
pigtail and squirted water from his mouth
upon the shirts of the leading citizens
We should hate TO see Dipah, Phoebe and
Chloe march off to the war to do up the
Cinnamon SITTER than the latter ever did
up collar, while there are so many
young bucks summing themselves on the
corners who could be better spared; new
/ ft,n1o1
washerwomen have a grievance against
the yellow men who wear their shirts out
side, and we believe that IL the black
women could get the Boxers across their
knees they would be equal to welding the
soap paddle so effectively that the insur-
rection would soon be quelled.
