tural and other resources are far from
being developed or exhausted; but it
will not more than suffice for our own
growing needs for the next quarter Of
a century. The fact that immigrants are
flocking to our shores at the rate of
nearly one million per annum is food
for serious thought and reflection.
We must treat this question as we
have in the past treated questions of
greater magnitude and consequence,
fearlessly, justly, impartially and hon.
estly. In the words of Thomas ] jefferson,
"The whole art of government is the art
of being honest" and had our forefath-
ers failed to treat the great questions
of their day, with honesty and deter
mination, they would never have made
it possible for us to shout in patriotic
glee over the memories of the heroes of
the victories of Bunker Hill, Vicks-
burg, and later, within the memory of
all, the victories of San Juan Hill, and
Manila Bay. We are busy tho in
tensely patriotic nation. We are proud,
and justly so, of our own and of our
children's education, knowledge and
patriotism. In treating this important
question of foreign immigration we
will find that education and patriotism
go hand in hand, and in them, and
their fruits. we will find the ultimate
solution. We will not demand of the
foreigner seeking to become resident
a profoundly educated mind, but will
insist that he prove conclusively that
he is possessed of mental faculties into
which can be inculcated the principles
of our grand government, and of
sufficient calibre to imbib our own
patriotism, through the medium of
the educational facilities we extend,
till he becomes a law-abiding, self
respecting and loyal citizen. To gain
I this desired end, education, and
teachings of true patriotism, coupled
with honesty and enduring patience,
exercised unselfishly, according to the
commandments of the Golden Rule
will be necessary.

And why? It is surely not his fault
that his skin is black-and there is no
other reason for disliking him. We are
all willing to make friend of Span
lard, Cuban or others of darker shades,
but at the man of African descent we
draw the line simply because he is an
African. For many years prior to the
Civil War shiploads of unfortunate At
ricans were unloaded at our ports and
we bought them. They didn't ask
to come here but were enslaved
and brought in chains to work in our
fields. What his condition was in the

the world. And it is an open question
whether the negro would not be slave
still if Abraham Lincoln had not had
the courage to issue the emancipation
proclamation. He issued the prOcla-
nation as blow at the Confederacy,
because the exigencies of the situation
demanded it. Well, we set the ne
gro free and the civilized world ap-
plauded. Densely ignorant and un-
housed and in fact but little better
mentally and morally than in his Afri-
can forest, he was turned adrift to
adapt himself to time and place and to
keep step in the onward march; and
now forty years later what is the result?
Who can say that as race they have
not done remarkably we'll? In every
walk of life they have made remarka-
bic successes. Of course it would be
foolish and unfair to hold up Booker
Washington and others as examples of
African intelligence, but even the rank
and file, the humble workers have pro-
crossed and would still be further ad-
vanced but for the cruel and unreason-
ing prejudice that confronts them on
every side.

921,315 aliens arrived in the country

The teams have had two contests re-

In preparation for the hunting sea-

Judging from the lack of betting,
little live interest is being manifest
ed by local sporting men on the re-

at San Francisco. Neither of the
poolrooms have posted any bets, and
al the Hotel Spokane, which on for
mer championship days has been

Now for Jeffries. He is a fighter
in every sense that the term implies.
He is of the rough and ready sort,
and never so happy as when slug
ging. Jeffries' knowledge of scien-
tiic principles is said to be greater
than when he met Corbett in the ring
before. But force is still his main
reliance. Bull-like rushes and crouch
ing is his forte. He rushes madly
then sends his pile-driving blows at
various parts of his opponents anato-
my. Corbett is the one man in the
game today best able to keep away
from these onslaughts The only
question is does the challenger pos
sess steam enough to plant knock
out blow. Jeffries willingly allows
an opponent to land on him three or
four times in order to return one
blow. He figures he can afford to do
so owing to the marvellous power he
puts la his blows. He will employ
the tactics indicated in tonight's bat
tie, and he thinks they will result in
Corbetts defeat.

battle.
