THE NALIGNED IMMIGRANT.

The vigorous opposition to immigrants mani
Tested the other day by the Farmers Union of
Georgia. in session at Atlanta. revealed sew
eral curious ideas about immigrants and prog
ress. According to report a resolution was
unanimously passed censuring those who seek TO
send the immigrant army marching through
Georgia. The Legislature petitOned to re-
fuse funds TO immigration commissioners on the
ground that undesirable citizens would he
brought into the state; that they would crowd
the natives out Of work by lowering wages and
that any considerable influx of foreigners would
seriously lower the price OF cotton by increasing
its production. Finally, the Negroes work was
generally praised, while the Negro himself was
exalted above the italians and Germans.
Some Of these objections are easily compre
hended. In the eyes of the cotton raiser lower
ing the market price Of bales is the unpardon
able sin. And it would probably be vain to ex,
plain for the thousandth time that such reduc
ton need not be detrimental to anybody, pro-
vided there is corresponding reduction in the
cost of production Even If the Georgia farmer
who is fairly represented in the union could be
convinced Of the truth Of this piece of arithmetic
he would still refuse to see that the Italian
would cheaper production. The wonderfully in
teresting lessons OF the Louisiana italian col
onies do not impress him. Neither will he be-
lieve that this same Italian is honest good nat
ured and a remarkably pleasant fellow to get
along with as soon you become acquainted
with his broken English and foreign ways
The Georgia farmer has probably derived his
Information about the undesirability of immi-
grants from blood and thunder tales of Black
Hand outrages. Their conviction that the Negro
long received false credit from men who did not
know him should suggest to the Georgia agri-
culturists that their own prejudice against Euro
pean races is grounded. most prejudices and
prepossessions are, upon third hand knowledge
and sheer fiction

for military preparations, war which might
have occurred but for its restraining influence
would have been UNNECESSARILY more costly.
There is, however, another consideration
which should not be ignored, but which is, we
believe, pertinent and important those
which We have cited. That is that the influence
OF the Triple Alliance for peace has very largely
been quite apart from its militant character. 1t
has meant much that the German Emperor. the
Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary and
the King Of Italy have for twenty-five years
been habitually speaking Of and treating each
other friends and allies, and that the people
OF each of those countries have been taught TO
regard thOse of each OF the others as allies with

Prussia and Austria fought each other. and

years the governments and peoples of those

other. In that persistent cultivation OF the habit
OF thinking Of only peaceful relations 1t may
well be that the Triple Alliance has done Its

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Comments upon the twenty-tfth anniversary
OF the triple Alliance have chiefly emphasized
TWO features OF that organization and It's career
one Is that 1t has Imposed an enormous burden
OF mllitarlsm upon its members. which in the
case Of Italy has at times like the Weary TItan,s
TOO vast orb Of her faIe' been .wellnieh not
10 be borne" The other is that because of or I'm
spite or those exaggerate1 ornaments the league
has been in purpose and in effect for peace
With these reflections little If any fault ia TO be
found. 1t is quite true that under the terms of
bound to maintain great military establishment.
1t Is, however, a pertinent question whether
those ornaments would not have been as large
even larger, had the Triple Alliance not ex-
listed and lad each Of the three powers felt CON
strained TO provide for Its own Individual and
solitary defence without any assurance Of aid
and against potential hostile leagues Of unknown
magnitude 1t might be fairly and plausibly ar
gued that such would have been the case and
that the alliance has thus not Increased but
actually decreased the military burdens of Its
members.
That it has been league for peace is not to
be disputed, and we are inclined to think that its
irenic efficiency has been both because Of and In
spite Of rather apart from, its militant organ
ization serious European war not implIcat
ing one Of those three powers has been prac.
tically unthinkabe, and 1t has been equally m
