MMIGRATION.
Bishop W. A. Candler on the Mora
Aspects or Artifcially Stimulated
Immigration.
Bishop W. A. Candler in Atlanti
Journal.
I have had somewhat to say in Th
Joiraml concerning the moral aspect
of artificially stimulated imniigra
tion, and the consequences to thl
south of such immigration. And al
I have saiP is strictly true.
A gentleman of the highest char
aeter wrote me of conditions in Cen
tral Illinois (not southern Illinois
which is largely settled .by Kentuck
ians and Virginians and other Aanor
ican ctocks) which have grown o
what lie speaks, and from my owi
personal acquaintance with the con
dritions in the region of whiohi 1<
writes I am prepared to confirm hi
statements.
In further confirmation of what ]
hAVC said, I take two paragraph,
from the Western Christian Advo
cate, a religious paper puoblished it
Cincinnati, 0.
ONic is with reference to Evans
ville, Ind.W where foreign elemnen
-predomninates and breweries abound
It reads as follows:
''Secretary Mogge, of the Evans.
ville, Ind., Young M3%en's Christian as.
sociation, has sent out watchers, ani
from their lAbors has complied sta.
tistics regarding the relative attend
anec of the churches and Sunda3
theatres by the men and boys of hiE
city of 60,000 inhabitants. Counting
together the Sunday school, the morn.
ing and evening services of twenty
five churches, the total attendance ol
boys was 1,686; of meni, 2,355; total
4,041. Against this he shows foi
seven theatres--the matinee and even
ing performance--an attendance ol
boyi 1,394; men, 4,892; total, 6,286
And this ratter attendance on ti
theatres is in the face of a statue ii
Indiana prohibiting Sunday theatres
The other is rather more general
as 'to the location, covered, but on<
who is familiar with the settlement,
in the Indiana, valley, it is sufficient.
ly definite to be conclusive on the
subject. It reads as follows:
''Spiritual destitution is not con
fined to pagan lands. A correspond.
ent writes us that, in the Indiant
valley where she lives, she found
during the recent floods-many fa.
milies who never saw the inside ol
a church, and she talked with some
young men and women who said they
had never heard of the Resurrection.'
The Western Christian Advocatc
cannot be suspected of any sectional
bias against the regein in which il
is published. It is simply reporting
lamentable facts.
I have iio bias against that section
of our common country. They havc
great probleims there for the righl
ssolution of which I am profoundly
and symp)athietically concerned. And~
the greatest problem in that part of
our country arises from its foreigi
colonies.
Nor *am I concerned to show thai
Georgia and the south are free fron
defects and sins. They are not thus
free, and never were. But fortunate
ly we have been free from the diff
eultis of foreign colonies, nyho neith

and religious institutions, and I wish
us to continue free from the diff.
oulties 'and perils which such colon.
ies create. We have problems enougi
in the cond(itions that exTist here noiw
without adding this peril of foreigr
colonies.
The coming of the foreigners among
us in solid blocks, by the methods o1
stimulating immigration which I hav<
called ''artificial,'' is the .thing t(
b)e feared. The .coming of foreigners
in a natural, gradual, and individual
way is not to be deprecated. In this
way we have gotten some of the besi
citizens among us. They eaime, and
settled alongside neighbors of natiV4

themselves to our institutions, andl
in a word, were assismarel. But iti

ild illtustrateil when he reported a murder
ild case in which one of the witnesses
an was a negro porter in the hotel that
est was the scenp of the killing.
ild The negro was asked how many

1 they?'' '''Bout like dissaway,'' ex
plained the negro, clapping his hands
