IMMIGRANrs FOR VIRGINIA.


Rev. DIR. N. Burkart, pastor of st.
Johns German Lutheran Church, Bal
timore, has recently returned from
trip over the Southern railway through
Virginia and North Carolina 10 the IL
terest of German immigration
DR.. Burkart's idea s to encourage bis
countrymen now living 10 the north
western States, where the climate II
cold and lands are high, to move 10 +
milder climate where equally iertil
farms can be purchased at much NOR,
reasonable prices. So far his plans ere
uot definite and be has not yet ascer-
tanned what The farms lying IN the sec
ion through which be travelled can b,
purchased for. He was not attracted
with the prospects in North Carolina,
but returns greatly pleased with the
Piedmont section of Virginia, all the
wsy Fl om Manassas down to the State
line.
~ am not ready to do anything now"
said D Burkart. my object is to en-
| courage the building up of a s'ttlement
| similar to the one started in Dorches-
ter county, on the Eastern Shore o.
| Maryland, five years ago. When be-
gan there three German families only
lived in that section Now over 1CI
families have farms there. and they uu
dersland EARNING. Many OF the mer
have means.
"My idea is to encourage settlers
who may be an acquisition to the COM
munity. ] wish TO see the resource

country taken advantage of. Personal
| ly ALI I desire IS 10 come out even.
! Later on expect to write some ar
ticles for German papers published 1t
the Northwest, which will call attention
to the prospects mere. This is now al

| DR.. Burkart thinks that the Mary
land State Board OF Immigration bai
not been much of success. He con
tinued:
"In the last four years it has spen

Among the political changes which
Judge, the republican comic paper,
saws it will agitate in the next four
ears, are municipal ownership and
tie election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people. Judge is
in danger Of being dubbed socialistic
in bringing the republican party to it's
views on these questions, it will be
the most remarkable case off the tail
wagging the dog on record. But
then, Judge was the originator of the
full dinner pail slogan, which was SO
effective in the late campaign.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1900.
LET US GIVE THANKS.

lc has been officially proclaimed
that this is day of Thanksgiving,
and it is expected that everyone will
i.,d something to be thankful for in
their experiences during the past
vea. Those who cannot are indeed
to be commiserated. The individual
who. has gone through the entire year
without having occasion to feel that
it is good to live is strictly out of
luck. It is to be doubted if there are
any such, but it is unquestionably
true that there are thousands upon
thousands in whose lives dissatis-
Iaotion and misery have predominant
ed. And, as matter of fact, Thanks
giving day is not SO generally accepted
as {. day of acknowledgement for the
happiness we have enjoyed as it is
for the misery we have been spared.
On that hypothesis there are few who
cannot find reason to celebrate the
day in spirit and in truth. He who
has lost a thousand dollars, may be
thankful that it was not twice the
amount. Those who have lost a
friend may be thankful that the have
friends left There is scarcely any
one whose lot is so miserable that it
could not be more so, and even for
the utterly hopeless and those re-
signed to whatever they are suffering
or are doomed to suffer, there is the
consolation so aptly expressed by
Swinburne:
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be,
That no life lives forever,
That dead men rise up never,
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea-"
The festival of Thanksgiving is a
GOOD one. Its hearty observance
helps to keep the people optimistic
ard optimism is the salt of life. And
let those who have much to be thank.
iul for, not forget those who are not
SO fortunate. There is no other hap
pincss so real or so pure as the hap.
piness of making others happy. If a
itch man would give zest to his din
ner today, let him see to it that he
has made this day at least one of true
thanksgiving for some who have not
looked forward to it as such. 1t will
be sauce for the turkey or plum
budding altogether superior to the
cranberry or brandy article.

is no Office in the gift of the legisla-
ture so insignificant that Clark him
self will consent to overlook it. He
wants to name the speaker, the clerks
of the house and senate, the commit
tee clerks, the doorkeepers and the
pages, and if there are any other Of
fees to be filled he wants to say who
shall fill them.
Naturally there is some kicking
over the Clarkite program and there
are those who even have the temerity
to suggest that Clark is not the whole
thing-that there are others. But
the kickers are not likely to cut
much figure. Whether they are will.
ing to concede it or not, Clark is the
entire works and whatever he says
is law. OF course, there is liable to
be some protesting and perhaps the
big un" may consent to give the
pOpulists doOrkeeper, the laborites
a clerkship or two and allow the re-
publicans to give Tom Carter com.
plimentary vote or two. But be-
yOnd those things there will be no
concessions if Clark can avoid it. He
is the man with the dough, and the
other fellows are the men with the
hoe. and between the two there is
a great gulf fixed when it comes to
running the legislature.

as modern arms have proved utterly

how far into antiquity the manufac.
t1rers are to go is not stated; but
they won't have to so more than
twenty-five years back to return to
into action beating tom-toms, and
dragging enormous dragons, OctOpuss-
es and other horrible monsters, the
intention being thereby to make the
tnemy's blood run cold and his legs
run faster. The Chinese even tried
this style of warfare in their UNI
rlcasantness with the laps a few
years ago. but the laps stubbornly re-
fused to turn tail and plunge into
utter route, confusion and debacle.
Nor is it likely that the European
forces will be any more susceptible
to the terrors of the tom-toms or the

There will be many who find cause
for thanksgiving today in the fact
that it is not now considered the thing
to carve the turkey at the table. The
carving is now done in the kitchen,

dynamite may be used, if necessary,
to accomplish what is frequently i'm
possible for the carving knife.

than that of any other state. The
same condition of affairs has been
true to the Northern Pacific and
other lines that have become interest
ed in the trade of the northwest and
particularly that of the Puget Sound
country. With the exception of the
Great Northern all the other lines will
during the coming year continue the
same policy that they have pursued
in the past. The Great Northern
will from now on devote large por-
ton of it's home seeker literature to
the mountain state. and while it is
said the road will be disposed to take
care of all the business that is Offer
ed it for that territory, it will leave
Washington to take care of itself.
By those who are familiar with the
| conditions that are to exist from this
time on, it is said there is method
in the policy of the Great Northern.
Ever since the time the Great North
ern entered this territory there has
been disposition on the part Of
the road to cultivate a local trade.
With the exception of in the eastern
states, which are more thickly settled
this has been done. On the east
during the past few years there has
been an increase in the local business
of the line and it is all credited to
the influx of homeseekers that have
come here within that period. Now
it will be the policy of the road. it -
said, to attempt the settlement of the
northern portion of Montana, and
thus do away with the losses that
are sustained in operating trains over
long stretch of country in that state
from which no revenue has ever been
derived.
All along the line OF the Great
Northern there is no portion that has
| contributed to the main line of the
road to a less degree than that triDu
tary to the main line of the road IN
the state of Montana In this sec
ton there are thousands of acres of
land that at the present time are not
being cultivated. In days gone
by this acreage was used almost whol-
ly for the grazing of large bands of
| cattle and from this industry the roa1
derived all of it's revenues in that
section. Lately, however, the cattle
business has been turned over to the
Montana Central Hill family prop
erty, and the Great Northern has been
getting nothing, practically, from the
district. 1t is now the intention IF
the road to try and have the vast
stretches of grazing lands of that To-
cality turned into agricultural lands
and if this can be done then it is the
hope that the section can be turned
to some account. 1t is for this rea-
sert, in sense the coast country,
and give practically all it's attention
to Montana.
1t is said that one of the things
that for years past has worried Mr..
Hill more than anything else is the
large amount of local business the
Northern Pacific has been doing
along it's line. Many means have
been tried by the Great Northern
to accomplish the same result, but
up to the present time it has been I'M
successful.
