Birmingham Ledger.
 Alabama needs double the population she now has and she could get them easily if she sought them. Even an hundred thousand new people would make every foot of land in the State more valuable: would make the mar ket better and more constant for ev- erything the farmer has to sell.
 Whenever anything Is said about im- migration. some fellow jumps up and says: We don't want bad immi- grants" Of course not When we want money we don't want bad money, and what's the sense in Jumping up and yelling that we don't want bad im- migrants and we don't want counter felt money. That Is silly. Nobody ever dreamed of wanting either.
 All the people of Alabama are here either because they immigrated here or their fathers immigrated here. We have got by immigration about as good population as any State in the world. We can get as good people as we now have. We need them and we want them.
 Canada is now getting a magnificent population of hardy farmers-the very kind we need. Canada is getting them by advertising for them. We could double the price of every acre of land in Alabama if we c1uld get the people Canada Is getting for just one year.
 We are not doing what we should do for Alabama. We are not filling ur the waste places. nor providing for the future.

As The New Orleans World look g at it a national convention of either the Republican or Democratic party would be something worth listening to-" Of a truth 1t would, but these are not the days of miracles. An average political speaker cannot get through the preface of his speech in five minutes, and to limit them to that time would be equivalent to cutting out oratory entirely.
