For Tmnigration.

EulCor The AdvertlSer.
 nrnes,l There have been many propositions to

 various objects. I think none will commend themseives to the Legislature
 the one to establish Bureau of Im-
 migration.
 There is a universal demand for more labor of every class and such an appfo-
 prfation from the surplus should meet l no opposition. It should be liberal,
 large enough to equip q station at

 venture to fail for the lack of funds augurated 1t will be plain sailing. Immigrants should be sought from the laboring class, including single men seryants. primarily for the farmers: for l agriculture Is the basis on which all wealth and prosperity rests. When prosper.

 For Protectien of Dumb Animals.
 EqssoEI ERssIaias 1sGl sn article in your paper yes l terday of a negro hackman's reckless | driving, brings again. to my mind, the need of q Humane Society in this city. | Never before, have seen tho need of
 such a society to be the greater. Only a few ago, white man passed my
 residence leading a young horse with | directly across the animals eye. I calf- l ed to him, thinking perhaps he was not
 aware of the fact. and told him to ad-
 just It. as # might l in5gre ssaS the eye per different manner. saying; T know 1t IS get close enough to her to fix It." He | had gotten "close enough" though. to
 put the bridle on her. and 1t was . | plain enough case of indifference and "cruelty to animals" and should have
 also read an article from a lady. who 1 was, [ believe, from Chicago, a very l strong appeal for better treatment of
 the brute. l had hoped then. sorna one | would take up the matter and a Hu- | mane Society would be promptlysbr- 1 ganized, but so far as I could. learn | none has been, as yet. So make this
 appeal to the ladies of our city; to get | together. organize a society at onces | and let's do all we can to protect our poor dumb friends. who can and do give
 we approach them, yet can utter no l sound of protest against i'll treatment. l. myself. do not know how such so- | cieties are organized nor conducted, as
 but no person on earth has more synss
 pathy, nor is willing to do more for | their protection, than l. So anyone
 who will interest themselves in this ciety. will meet with my most hearty
 cooperation in the matter. If this reckless driving Is not stopped, tt
 will mean the loss of life in some in-
 as It t0 Ssas n
 preventive is worth pound of cure.
 will be glad to hear, through your
 eolumnsi or os address a me, me at y my resi-
