NO STEP BACKWARD.
Some Sensible and Timely Remarks on
the Emmigration Evil.

1he Immigration Evil.
We shall not believe this Legis-
lature will pass a bill creating any
office for an emigrant agent. God
knows we do not need anything of
the sort.
We have a plenty of ignorance
and vice in our State now to con-
suLle all the money, all the teach
ing ability, all the preaching and
praying which the State has at it's
command. More of the vile. sor-
~ adventures will force them
selves on us than we want without
any tolling or batting on our part.
What do we want with them?
What account have those who have
already come under the auspices
of an agent ever been to the
State?
Talk about the objections to the
negro-he is ten times better than
the average foreign emigrant. The
average foreigner comes here with
his own God, his own social and
religious ideas, which, for the
most part, are the rankest forms
of socialism and anarchy. He
never thought of remembering the
Sabbath dav to keep it holy. On
the other hand, he just as soon
dig coal, melt iron, or work in a
blacksmith shop on this day as
any other.
Our love Of county, our church
es and school houses are not in all
his thoughts.
Our homes. our flag, our his
tory and sacred traditions are no
more than broken idols to them.
They are little more than the
skum of the earth, many of them
fleeing to escape the punishment
for crime, while others are leaving
a pauperized land which is badly
and wickedly governed, and hence
have no idea of what makes good
citizenship.
This State tried this business
once, and it was such a huge, such
a dismal failure, that it actually
abolished the office in order to get
clear of it. This was the only
real sensible move connected with
the whole transaction. The fact
that the matter is now being agi.
tated is a symptom that somebody
is pressing toward the pie coun'
ter. We DO not believe this Leg.
lslature will touch it with 8
forty foot pole.' America fol
Americans was the slogan of oul
fathers, and the preservation oil
this doctrine has saved the South
from much of the wretched expe.
riences which have cursed Other
sections Of the Union. Our OWL
population is rapidly increasing
Our children and grandchildren
will soon possess the land, ane
there is not more than they viii
require. If a man shall com,
from another country and as al
Individual, or as a family, seek
q home, let him be judged ane
dealt with on his merits. This il
a different and far better way
than to dump them in agent fash
ION by the solid car load. If {
neighborhood of farmers wan
help of this sort, let them lool
out for them and select such PEG
pie as they are willing to bring il
contact with their own children
This is the safe and rational way
to select neighbours, but this can
not be done through al emigran,
agent.
We believe and hope this Legs
lature is two sensible to dig W
this carcas a second time.-Ral,

KAISER WARNDD THE CAR.
Expressed Doubts as to Outcome Of a Hur-

VieLna, Jan. GA curious il
l%ustration of the Cars inacessi-
bility to counsel was mentioned
to me today in a quarter which
cannot be suspected Of German
ophilism. Some ten days before
outbreak of the war in the far
East the German Emperor, alarm
ed by the information received
concerning the respective strength
and degree Of preparedness Of the
Russian and Japanese forces, tel
egraphed to the Gear in approx
mately the following terms:
II beg of you to reflect before
engaging in q war with Japan.
From every precise information
which [ have received concerning
the forces of which Japan can dis
pose, the state of her prepara-
tions, and also the forces of which
you a dispose, and which you
can maintain in Manchuria, I
have doubts about the result of
the war.
81 beg of you, therefore, to
think we'll before definitely re-
fusing the Japanese conditions"
To this appeal the Gar is said
to have replied that the Japanese
conditions had not been refused,
but that sin any case all neces-
sary measures already have been
taken to assure the triumph of our
arms
I cannot guarantee the anthem
ITCHY of the text above given ;
possibly it may have been modi-
fed IN the course of oral trans
mission from diplomatist to diplo-
matist, but the fact that an ex-
change of messages of this nature
took place between Emperor Will
liam and the Gar before the war
is certified to me On an authority
SO good there seems no reaso to
withhold it from publication.
The awful plight of the Port
Arthur garrison, as impressively
vet comprehensively told bv Gen.
Stoessel in his dispatches to the
Russian emperor a day or two be-
fore his surrender, emphasizes the
fact that there has been no ameli-
Grafton of the horrors of war.
Torn to shreds by eleven inch
shells, dying by the hundred with
scurvy. and lacking the ammuni-
ton necessary to enable even the
few men able to bear arms to offer
defence, the brave commander
was forced to run up the white
flag. 1t seems a pity that such
bravery cannot always be rewarded
with victory, and yet the beiseig-
ers were necessarily as brave IL
sto' ming the fortress as were the
inmates in defending it.-Chrr.

The Occidental & Oriental steamship
Doric, which was expected to arrive
IRON San Francisco last night, did not
show up before early this morning
She was locked at about s o'clock al

southwesterly gale November 10,
which lasted throughout the rest OF
the voyage. although 1t gradually
diminished in force. The Doric rolled
to fearful degree in the heavy swell
(, which accompanied the gale and took
water on her decks constantly. No
damage was done.
The Doric as a general rule averages
q run Of from 3i5 to $50 miles per "a
hours. She was not able to come near
her average except on one single day
of this voyage. Her daily runs were
as follows: November Q, 299 miles;
November 10. 299 miles: November H.,
go miles; November ~. 3l4 miles;
November 10. 1922 miles; November H..
33i miles. and November Is, PAT miles
The entire voyage took six days, sew.
enteen hours and Sc minutes.
The Doric brings no passengers
