FOREIGN LABOR ELEMENT.
Large ImpOrtatiOns Into The State
Cause Comment.

Labor importations into Missis-
sippi steadily continue. The
highways and bgways Of the en-
tire country are being ransacked
to secure labor for farm opera
tions and building and improve
ment work in progress in various
parts of the commonwealth. Irish,
Italians, Swedes, Hungarians, Bo-
.hemians, and almost every other
known foreign element are being
hauled into the State in large
numbers, and it is estimated that
no less than six or eight thousand
immigrants of alien blood have
been brought to Mississippi within
the past six or eight months.
TIE people Of this State have
long boosted of the lack of a for
eign element in the common
wealth, but this boast can no long
er hold good. If the importations
continue they can no longer assert
that Mississippi's citizenship is
the purest strain of Anglo-Saxon
blood in the country. The de-
mand for labor is so insistent that
the firms and individuals who
need workmen no longer care
what kind they get, and are even.
willing to accept the Mexican
peon, rather than have their af-
fairs delayed. Labor agencies in.
the North and East have been
transacting a fourishing business
for Mississippi during the past
few months, and railroad passen-
ger agents are kept busy planning
routes and making rates for immi-
grant crews. Scarcely day pass
es that from two to five carloads
of foreigners are not brought into
the State. This morning the
Alabama & Vicksburg road car
ried seventy five Italians through
this city en- route from New York.
to plantations in the delta. In
spite of the fact that the cotton
harvesting season is drawing to a
close, the importations steadily
continue, and the demand for la
Dor shows no signs of abatement.

Franklin County Indictments.

Referring to recent indictments
for white Gaping against citizens
of franklin by the Federal Grand
Jury, the Meadville Advocate
says:
Among the above named men
are some Of the most prominent
citizens of the northeastern por-
tion Of this county, some Of whom
have large families and have pass
ed the meridian of life.
We sincerely hope they are all
innocent of the serious charges
against them and that they may
be able to establish beyond any
doubt or cavil. not only that they
are innocent Of the cowardly night
riding act, but also that they are
not in sympathy with lawlessness
of any kind or description. 1t is
"a fact too we'll known to our peo-
pie that this class of crime has
been committed, not only in that
section of the county, but right
here almost under the very shad-
ow Of the Temple Of Justice have
the nights of some of our peacea-
BILE, prosperous and law-abiding
negroes been made hideous BY
the tramp Of the night rider.
But now that we again have
peace, we would, for the good
name of the people of our county
and to save the blush of shame be-
ing brought to their posterity,
wipe out the memory of the past
and consign that part Of our his
tory to oblivion. Z

Is the Black Peril Oyerestimated2

SIN a Thanksgiving sermon at
the First Methodist church in
jackson, Rev. w. E. Marlborough,
pastor of the First Baptist church
referred to the peculiar problem
of the Southern people, as fol-
lows:
"We believe in the words of
distinguished Mississippian on the
floor Of the National House of
Representatives when the ques-
ton of the Spanish-American War
was before that body, that any
thing IS better than a rotting
peace. But, men and brethren,
have we not overestimated our
peril? Is not much of the present
stress Of feeling due TO political
self seekers, North and South,
who have thrown freblands while
they have been playing to the gal
leries for place and powers Does
not the God of nations still reign,
and will not be who led his people
from Israel through the wilder
ness bring his faVorite people to-
day into the land of promises
Would that some leader with the
spirit of that iIlustrious but la
mented statesman, Henry w.
Grady, seize the helm Of the ship
and guide US through the troubled
seasi How brave, how true be
was as be stood there in Fanueil
Hall, Boston, just before his death
pleading for his beloved South
land. He says, What solution
can we offer for this problems
Time alone can disclose it to us.
We simply report progress, and
ask your patience. If the problem
be solved at all and / firmly be-
lieve it will, though nowhere else
has it been-it will be solved by
the people most deeply bound to
interest and most deeply pledged
in honor to its solution. would
rather see my people render back
this question rightly solved than
to see them gather all the spoils
over which faction has contended
since Cataline conspired and Gaze
sar fought.
my brethren, if we but emu
late his spirit today we have moth
ing to fear. The problem will be
solved and our great country won
to our way of thinking. We will
be one in interest and in destiny,
and, above all, a righteousness
and justice shall be measured out
to all, both white and black,
strong and weak. /"

men.
No information is reported to the
general staff tonight regarding the
reported ambushing Of the Russians
at Pulantien. as result of which
they We're alleged to have lost 500
men. The only thing of the least
significance in this connection is the
short dispatch received from Major
Karkevitch, which was sent on June
10, the day the battle is said to have
occurred. Gen. Karkeitch Goes not
mention the Pu lantin fight of which
the authorities presume he would
have heard had it occurred. His
dispatch only covered the events up
to the preceding day. The general
news from the southern part of the
Lioa Tung peninsula is of the scan
tiest and in the absence Of official
news, the officials here are not inclin
ed to speculate as to the situation.
