C., but only to take charge and n4ake arrangements. The members of the Chapter expect and will be glad to have the co-operation of all the ladies of the city. This is a loving tribute, which ev ery one should feel interested in paying to those soldiers of the Lost Cause, who hrve passed into the great beyond. The address will be mmde by the Rev.

Mr. P. 11. Gadsden. ol' Charleston, I. elair-hoaded and very delightful 'elenialn, 'has just returned fromn vermany, wherc he had been in an uilei.al capacity in the interest of in nigration to the south, specifleally to ,or,.thl Carolina, and has submitted iis report to thle mlayor. of his eity. ' we Iead it aritht it presents none -m resent e a Pr Ispeet, an d for (lie :lke oI its v.xcvedill interest and0 vu rdace we devt e much space, ilioh is well oueelpied, to extiracts 'roml it. Speakin'-s ( of Iis conference Lt reien with the cihiefs of the imil ni.-ration department of' the North irman IJoyd Steamliship (,omipa.ny 'They stated to ime that Ile sue -VSsof their iini.ranlt busilness de eided absolutely oni the confidence of he immigran,t class in Europe, and iad been built up by their dealing in ibsolute good faith with tihem on ev ry occasion and by never misrepres m.ting 'the facts; that no movement !ould be successful or be made per nanent on prepaid passages, but must )e based on the letters and reports >f those who had gone ahead to t,heir 'eltitives and friends; that the immi ,rants as a class wore ignorant and uspicious, and t'hat as a rule all they inew of <the United Statts were Bos 0m, Baltimore and New York> and hey naturally wanted to go where ome of their people h'ad preceded hem, tha.t it m%iill be very difficult, -ven on pre-payment of passage, to livert them to South Carolina, and inpossible tiiless ,we could satisfy hose already here; that the business )ropositioin in this light was secon lary in importance; that they would lot cariry innigrants where they vould not be satisfied at any price, s it would seriously affect t'heir en ire immigration business. ''At an interview with Mr. Misler few days afterwards we found the nine conditions, only worse, if possi >le. Mr. Misler's busi-ness consists n issuing advertisemenits throughout he various countries of Europe, and )ersonally soliciting immigrants for merica for the Lloyds. He has no iffklil connection with the Lloyds ompany. The complaints which Jave been received by him were so imerous and were of such a serious haracter that he was afraid to pro eced fitl't-hor in southern immigra ie-. for fear of its immediate injur MIS effect upon his personal busi io. le slietaospd ETA\ ON I ,floET tess. le stated posi.tively that lie 'ould not he willing to tiake any fur her steps 'o secure laborers for South 4aoliina or the south unless lie could irst b: assured 'hat the immigrants iould be placed in renunera-tive pos tions uder cond it ions tha. would riake them satisfied.'' Mr. Gadsden summarizes his obser ations of the sitiuation in what The harlestont Evening Post calls the ol lo'wing ''concise statement.'' ''1. That the duty is devolved up n the people of the south, if they esire European immigrants, to use very effort 'to satisfy them after they ave arrivedl. ''2. That for a very considerable eriod the passage of' each and ev ry immigrant will have to be pre aid. ''3. That unt-il such time as the rage scale of t'he south approaches tore inea rly that ob)t-ained t hrough hie 1I nohnd wvest it is hopeless to rpect white laborers to comte to the ith Iin pr eerence to thle noithi. ''4. TChat 01nr attitude throughout lie sothI to t he white laborer wtill ave 'to bie materially altered before e can expect to have the immigrant itisfied to remain as a laborer wvith S. ''5. That wve have been proceeding p to this time on ni purely artificial nd( ituatiural .plain in reference to ius subject of immigration; that no here has it ever been possible to ri-ng in the laborer first, and that 11 sutcessful immigration movements ruve been started b)y set'tler and fol >wed by the laborer'. ''6.

Tile Evening Post comments com prehensively and intelligen.tly upon ". Gadsden 's rIeport and we eopy frol its elitorial: "No hetter, pr-o-rammne ConlI be0' f rmuil.

South Cainina has led the w.av and developed important information by investigat.ion and experiment and is in the best position., no doubt, to stiart the new undcQtaking, but it should be a southern movement and every state interested in the increase of its idiit.rikil population should join heartily in it. We have already available the framework for such a oolonization plan as is suggested by Mr. Galdsden, in Southern Tmmigra tiorn and Tnudustrial Association, of which Governor Heyward, of this st.ate, who has given very close at tention and study to the immigration question, is the president. Gov. Hey word is penitliarly fitted for the work of promoting the cffort and it offers an inviting field for his labor. Let us get abowt te work at onee, the work of preparing the way in the south for the estiablishment of immigrants. Wlen the conditions have .been made suitbable the immigrants will come and .they will stay after they have e1110 and it is .tle stayin." that is imiportalint, not the comilile.' We make no doubt that the plan proposed by Mr. Gadsden is foun.led upon good judgment; that it is, per Imps, the only practicable program under which desirable immigrants would come to us and, after coming, would be sat.ified and stick, for, of course, ' thev were n-f qntisfied, they ,uld not stay; but it involves an -'iboraite system f preparat,ion, in'--ding the educetion of our own p, nia in the reception, treatment r1' navimr of wages to immigran,ts, :- !ith it all weary waitin.g. An ol ". question from the Post. '-The tiruth is that the 111Oventill, to i inid'ralts to Soulth Caroli n-a " storted at the wron-r end. The exi'o1ns t.hat were a11.fle in Europe t4l inliCe the people to eome to this st-e should have been made in S,-'vih Carolina to prepare conditions fr the possi;bhl :oing of Europeans.
