The Messenger has made reference TO
the action of the board of commissions
ers Of Cumberland county in regard TO
immigration. We ere glad to be able
today to lay before our readers the res
oiutions on this subject adopted by
that body. We think it a very good
plan the board. has adopted ana we
hope the commissioners of the other
counties Of the sixth district will re-
spond to the appeal. Every county
should be represented. The labor
question becomes more serious every
year. Something must be done. The
labor is not to be had here. 1t must
be imported-either from the north or
from Europe. Immigrants are not COM
ing to this section unless some action
is taken to induce them to 10 SC. The
state officials are pOwerless. They
have no authority to take active meas
ures. 1t depends on the people. They
nust bestir themselves if they expect

ton of labor. There is room mere for
thousands of w-age-earners and farm
tenants. Good wages can be made by
the first and comfortable living by the
other class of immigrants who will
come to this section OF the country.
What is necessary is to make this fact
known to the class of people from other
places who are seeking homes.
The Cumberland county commits

their endeavOr to secure united action

of the district will unite with Cum

missioners OF Cumberland county are
as follows:
Whereas. There is an urgent de-
mand throughout the state for relia-
Gle farmers and ]aborers in the varied

Interpretation that il is not the duty
OF the governor to cake a hand in the
enforcement Of police and municipal
laws The Illinois cons, tuition pro
gida that the supreme executive

ecutive to interfere. The objections
that have reached the governor an'
the attorney general are mostly from
ministers. who state that the local ofIi

MIKADO'S ARMY
IS VERY ANGRY

Gen. Oyama's Headquarters, Muk-
den, Sept. IL (via Yinkow, Sept 14.)
The terms of peace. which were
withheld from the japanese army for
over week by a stoppage of the
mails, are gradually becoming
known to the officers and the men in
the ranks. They are received with
universal CONSERVATION and indigna-
ton. The soldiers declare that they
would prefer to continue fighting at
any cost rather than stop the war on
such terms.
News of the treaty was first brought
to the Japanese lines by Russian of.
ficer who rode forward under white
flag accompanied by a few Cossaoks
to ask why the japanese outposts
continued to fire when peace had al.
ready been declared. Since that
time a few kilograms have found
their way to the front giving the
terms of peace. These came like
thunderclap to the army Everybody
supposed that the original demands
of the government would be enforced
without exception for to all outward
appearances the Japanese are now in
better condition than ever to fight q
great battle.
