and protection. We cannot be consistent
in our doctrines when we assume at
titude of boastfulness, complicated with
extreme vanity, and by our practices and
our relations and associations with the
Immigrant play the act of the conceited
and impress him that We are his supe-
riors and that what little we do for him
is done in a spirit of superiority impaired
to an inferiority and that our actions
are based upon that sympathy that ema-
mates from a sense of self-importance
rather than from a sentiment underlaid
by Christian spirit and a sense of in
dispensable duty. We should never OBJ
serve nor refectively comment upon what
the immigrant eats or wears, but we
should inquire is he a law-abiding cit
izen? Is he honest? These two creden-
tials, in accordance with the perquisites
,.to. good citizenship, are amply sufficient
to insure respect to anyone anywhere.
And without them no one can properly
claim the recognition of good people. And

Comes to Better Condition
1.-THE immigrant, from whatever coun-
try he comes, comes here as rule to
better his condition and to earn for his
family living more substantial than
that he had heretofore earned, to gain
for them social position and a standing
that he had heretofore been unable to
secure because of inequality and because
in the land of his birth special privileges
to the special classes is the motto rather
than equal rights to all and special
privileges to none And aside, from those
who locate from the beginning of their
Immigration on farms and thus fall from
the first under the wholesome Influences
OF country life the remainder flock to
the cities and their first years on Amer
lean soil and until their financial condition
is strengthened spent in undesirable To-
cations in cheap quarters where they are
thrown TO associate with the worst Amer
ican elements and thus oftentimes the
downfall of an immigrant can be direct
ly traced to this cause.
ut is here where the infection begins,
1T is here where the poisons of vice,
fciousness and immortality are bred. 1t
is here where the adult immigrant re-
celves unfavorable impressions of Amer
lea and Americans it is here where his
innocent children, boys and girls, both be-
come rapidly Americanized.' And how?

Dr. Abercrombie speaks.

Among other things President Aber-
crombie said:
Ladies and conference.-the American
continent was settled by members of the
Anglo-Saxon race, who sought escape
from tyranny and injustice on other
shores They were people of character,
Intelligence and independence, who were
willing to undergo the hardships incident
to the development of a new country.
in order that they and their descendants
might enjoy the blessings of liberty. They
were possessed of a common purpose and
as a rule no racial dissimilarities existed
as barriers to easy and complete homo
geniety. AS a result, though there were
difference In language, assimilation, or
amalgamation was natural and rapid. No
racial friction was developed anywhere.
The First Immigrants
1.-THE original settlers came chiefly from
Great Britain, Germany, Scandinavia,
and other Teutonic countries, and those
countries furnished a large majority of
the newcomers till within the last third
of a century Notwithstanding the fact
that our immigration laws from the be-
ginning were most liberal. and cordial
Invitation was extended to the oppressed
of all nations to come and partake freely
of the benefits of freedom. 1t was our
custom TO boast of the liberality of our
laws. This was to Be Forever, The land
of the free and the home of the brave.
Then, there existed here no acute
labor problem-no tense racial situation.

At a meeting of the city council last
night committee of the business men
waited on the governing body and made
a plea for the paving OF Locust street
with brick to conform to the remainder
of the newly paved district. When the
Louisville and Nashville railroad was
given a franchise for the use of this
street in running its tracks through the
city, it was stipulated that the street
was always to be maintained as good as
any in the city and it is thought to be
only fair that the railroad company now
pave that thoroughfare with brick, espe-
cially as the grade must be lowered and
the street torn up for this purpose.

The funeral of Miss Esther Moncrief was conducted at t.ie residence this morning at 9| o'clock, by Rev. w. A. Steele as- sisted by Rev. w. c. Hilliard and Rev. T. D. Scott, of Philadelphia.
 The attendance was perhaps the largest of any similar gather ing ever held in Prescott, the home, as well as the yard, and even out into tile street being filled with sad and sorrowing friends. The floral tributes were beautiful and abundant, and gave further evidences of the high eS- teem in which the deceased was held by our people generally. The funeral procession to the cemetery, where interment was had at 10:30 o'clock, was nearly a mile long, and was led by the pail bearers, Messrs. Reno Keefe, of Little Rock, Martin Guthrie, Floyd Denman, Elmore Began; Morris Montgomery, and Ben Waller, Jr., followed by a trap containing Misses Hannah Bem- is, Phles Stone, Elise Milburn, Elizabeth Biedleman and Mildred Pittman, dressed in pure white, with bow of black crape tied to their left arm.
 Eighty vehicles or more follow ed the hearse to the cemetery, where, with solemn and sincere words, the minister consigned to earth the remains of Miss Esther Moncrief, while her pure spirit just few days ago had gone back to God who gave it.
