THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MAY 31, 1886. -DOUBLE SHEET. NATIVE AND FOREIGN. Powderly's Views on a Live Topic. Line to be Drawn at Immigrants Who wish to Become Citizens.! j New York World.! . J , The dynamite bomb which exploded in Chicago a few weeks ago was heard throughout the United States, s Ming ling with its echoes we hear a murmur of complaint against the foreign-born workman. The man who, through no foresight or management of his owe, happened " to ' be born in the United States: isu congratulating himselt on the fact that his parents, or ancestors, emigrated in time to prevent him from being torn a foreigner. He is being patted on the back for being an'Amer ican, and is told that he is a far "bet ter man , 'than his father before him. It is evident that the intention on the part of some is td align the native and foreign workmen against tach other. Jay Gould, in his interview of April 30. 1886, said that the workingmen of this country were "undei the leader ship," for the most part, of men -who' left theirt native countries tor tneir native couuines gwu. . x ei ther on in this interview he said : "The spirit that filled the streets of Paris with blood, and that developed out rage and murder to a Russian science, ; has been flaunting itself freely along our lines. in Missouri, in Kansas and in Illinois. But America is not France, and the Commune has failed. America ; nnt iPnedin nnil Nihilism has not deposed those m authority; nor been able to ruin the property of those who presumed to disobey. Barbarity' is a, weed that'does not thrive well, trans plated from across the ocean here; " It is not to the American taste to tear down, cripple and destroy. Ameri canism leads to development and a building up. And Americanism in the end, depend upon it, is bound to vindicate and assert itself." iJ The people of foreign birth who live in the States named are not so desir able as they were at a not very remote period in our country's history. Not a great while ago we were inviting people from every land and clime to come to the United States and stay. We assured them that "there was room for all creation, and Uncle Sam was rich enough to give us all a farm." It is true that Uncle Sam gave away a great many farms, but he gave them away in the lump. He did not give them to the emigrant nor to the native agriculturist as liberally as to the rail roads and speculators; a great many of the people who accepted the invita tion to come to this country discovered that the only land they had access to was that which oozed up between the coblestones on the streets of our great cities. Some of the imported popula tion would not go on the land; others, not having the means, could not go. They remained in our large trade cen tres. From "Moody's Land and La bor" I quote this paragraph : "In New York city five contiguous square miles of territory may be found upon which are crammed not less than, six hundred thousand human beings, sweltering and rotting in their misery, and sprouting the germs of anarchy and destruction. New York is by no means the only city thus afflicted. It is simply pre-eminet.'" The poor foreigners who find them selves so situated are not to blame for their surroundings. Nor are they any worse oil than their American-born neighbors. How did we manage to import so many who sprout the germs of anarchy in our large cities, and who flaunt the bloodspilling spirit along tho railways of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois l uci luc icpcatiuciauguao oE one of the Chicago bomb throwers as I find it in the Chicago News : The man said "he could not understand why it is that men cannot do as they think best. He had come to this country because the agent who had told hira to emigrate had promised he would come to a free country. He had come here with the idea that this country was a free one, in which a man could do as he pleased." The question which naturally suggests it self to the mind of the reader is : Who sent the agent over to Europe to in duce this "blood spilling spirit" to come to the United States? Let me answer.him by quoting some extracts from Jay Gould's testimony, given be fore the New York Senate committee December 14, 1882, and reported in the New York Tribune of the follow ing day : 'Q. You. stated that speculation Sromoted-, immigration. How does it o this ! ' "Gould it induces the construction of new railroads, into new territory, and that irjduces the roads to send abroad to gt immigrants to settle the lands. r . "Q. To what extent have you in fluenced immigration ? , "Gould That's impossible to tell. We are advertising in all the lands abroad. The immigrants may come and go on our lands or elsewhere. When I was in Europe you couldn't go anywhere but what you' saw agents of American land grant com panies." Mr. Gould then explained the methods practised by the companies and their agents to induce emigration irom Europe. Among tne roaas men tioned by him as having agents in Europe were the Missouri, Kansas and i Texas, Texas Pacific and the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railways. The presence of so many "blood spilling spirits" from Europe along the lines of the Gould System, and in Chicago, which is "elsewhere," is now accounted for. It is evident that a great deal of deception is practised on the alien workman in order to induce him to come to America. The system which tolerates "the agent" will not counsel himxto adhere strictly to the truth, when he is portraying to the imagination of the Euronean t.h hpn n. ties of our American institutions. If i suits his purpose to explain how easily things can be revolutonized in America, rest assured he will not allow the still, small voice of conscience to influence him. The foreign-born work man is a good fellow, and there is a welcome for him in the land of the free so long as he is content to work for less' money than his American brother. .Inst as soon, however, as Via learns the way of the country, it is discovered by such men as send agents abroad that he is not so desirable an acquisition to our population af ter all. If such men would but cast aside the thin veil of hypocricy and speak with candor .they would acknowledge the above to be true. It is no credit to us as people to nave among us a cass mat prates so much about love of country, "Ameri canisms," and "American-born citi zen," &c, and at the same time be en- faged in the nefarious business of in ucing people by lying and deception to come to this country to take the daces of- American citizens. The American-born citizen-is no better or worse than- the. foreign-born citizen, for if you scratch an American "you draw foreign blood, unless, indeed, you scratch a North American Indian, and as a genuine Americarie do not appear totake a great deal of pride in him. We have always welcomed the man who came to our shores of his own - free will. The imported article never was, and never will be, welcomed by the American wqrkingman. Only those "whbTare eligible and willing to don the mantle of American citizen ship should be permitted to And an abiding place in this country. I hope that having"' discovered that ? 'the agents" are sending over, tool many "blood-spilling spirits the managers- under whose control these agents workr will call them. home, j : 5 ,..' 4, - .T. V, PpWDERLY. . TEMPERANCE VS. PROHIBI- We are requested to publish the fol lowing communication to the Raleigh Visitor : ' ' . r ; y . '. .. It is unfortunate, for the cause of true religion that the Bible should be lugged into this quasi political contest over "prohibition." :, But - since -it has been done, those who use it should use it fairly. , ., -j.?i 'x i'- -: A correspondeut of your paper, over the signature 'B & D,"quotes a great number of texts from the Old and New Testaments, . warning men against drunkenness and its terrible effects. Like all the lessons of the Bible, these should be received with reverence and humility. But there is another reflec tion which does not seem to have struck your correspondent.' ' Although the Bible is full of exhortations to temperance, and warnings against ex cess; nothing like total abstinence or "prohibition" is enjoined as a duty, by the Saviour of the world or his apos tles. If I may reverently use the blessed name of Jesus Christ in a con troversy like this, it is plain that neither his life nor teachings, indicate that a man should vote for 'prohibi tion' as a religious duty. Not to dwell upon tne miracle at uana, where he used his Divine power to supply wine for a festive occasion; ana that too when 'men had well drunk;' it is clear, from the scriptures, that he habitually used wine, 'as a beverage,' with his disciples; and at his departure from them, chose 'the fruit of the vine' to be used among men, as the symbol of his precious blood shed for the sins of the world. Far be it from me to use His name to palliate the sin of drunk enness, but, it gives no aid or comfort to prohibitionists. 'Temperance' is not enforced ab stinence; and 'prohibition' is a device of man, and a very poor one it is. In cannot be said that drunkenness was not so great an evil in those days as require repressive measures; for the great array of texts given by your coirespondent how that it was a gi gantic evil, even from the time of Solomon,, and before; and that in the Christian Era it had become as formi dable a vice, judging from the utter ances of the apostles, as it is now. The truth is tha the question of prohibition is not a religious one at all, but a question of public policy, upon which a christian man may vote; for or against, according to his convic tions, with a clear conscience; and any attempt to dragoon men with the thunders of the church, in their per formance of a civil duty, will fail, as it ought to tail. M. THE OTHER SIDE Of Prohibition in the City of Atlanta. Goldsboro, May 27, '86. Editor Messenger : As you have kindly offered your columns to both sides on the question of Local. Option, now agitating the public mind of this town ship, and as you published the letter of Mr. Scoville, one of the proprietors of the Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga., in your paper week before last, I re spectfully request that you publish the following letter, which explains itself. Yours Respectfully, E. A. Wright. Atlanta, Ga., May 26, '86. E. A. Wright, Esq.: - My Dear Sir You never see any such statements as Scoville's except from those who are largely interested in the liquor business. His bar is a source or very large revenue to his hotel,, and he and all such are very anxious to prejudice the public mind against prohibition. It is human, you know, to be controlled by self-interest. The idea that Atlanta or any other city, town or county can be injured by expelling such a curse as the whis key retail business or the indiscrimi nate wholesale of the poison, is absurd and ridiculous in the extreme. I hope you may be successful in your noble fight. Respectfully, J. H. Seals, Editor of the Sunny South. A TRAIN BREAKS THROUGH A TRESTLE. - Asheville, N. C, May 26. The heaviest railroad wreck that has ever occurred on the7 Western North Caro lina Railroad took place twenty miles east of here, on the Blue Ridge Moun tain, yesterday morning. A freight train consisting of twenty-five cars was descending the mountain, going east, when the engine suddenly jump ed the track, ju3t as it approached a trestle which spans a creek. The en gineer made a desperate but fruitless effort to check the train, which struck the trestle and went on its side, throw ing Engineer Kirby off and breaking his leg. The fireman was thrown into the creek, but was not seriously in jured. Instantly the whole trestle gave way, and the cars plunged to the bottom of the gorge one after another until they were piled one upon another in a mass of timber and smashed cars. The escape of the fireman, conduc tor and brakeman is simply miracu lous. The authorities of the road are clearing away the debris and repair ing the damage. Where Wiberg's Wonderful Winning I Was .

INDIAN MARAUDERS., A Price Placed Upon the Heads ot the Hostiles. San Francisfo, May 25. A special to the Chronicle from Wilcox, Arizona, says. The Indians having been forced into a small section of country north of the railroad, the troops being after each of the bands, and every water hole being guarded, it is only a ques tion of a very short time when they will be surrounded and captured. They are all heading for the San Carlos reservation, where they will meet with quite a different reception from former times, as the orders are imperative to kill any hostiles ap proaching the reservation, which is well guarded by troops and friendly Indians. General Miles and staff arrived here yesterday afternoon and will make his headquarters here for some time. He has enlisted a com pany of Mexicans and another of Americans, who started last night for the mountains. In addition to their pay, the general has offered a reward of $50 for each Indian or the head of an Indian brought in here, and $2,000 for Geronimo or his head. PROM THE DEPTHS. Divers have just returned from the Island of Grand Canary, after raising a sum of no less than 90,000. This amount was lying submerged 153 feet deep about a mile from the island. The treasure went down about two years ago in a Spanish steamer called the Alphonso XII. The Steamer had on board 100,000 worth of Spanish dollars on their way to Cuba. After a lapse of over a year Captain Stevens and three English divers were sent put to try and recover the suken treas ure. They succeeded in bringing up nine boxes containing specie of the value Of 10,000 each, but the tenth box could not be found, and the divers had to come away without it. The money was in the mail room, almost at the bottom of the ship. The decks had to be forced by explosion, and when the mail room was reached the divers had to haul theboxes from one deck to the other until the top deck of the vessel was reached. This wreck lay on a ridge of rocks, and one of the fears entertained before the explosion was affected was that the force might precipitate the vessel to almost fath omless depths. Fortunately the fear was not realized but the explosion sent to the surface thousands of dead fish. A Multitude of Ailments. The ailments which afflict the kidneys and bladder are so numerous, that merely to name them would fill a space far out running the limits of this article. Suffice it to say, that they are both obstinate and dangerous. To their prevention Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The stimulus which it lends to the action of the kidneys when they are lethargic, serve to counteract a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards into one of positive or ganic disease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, poisons the blood and causes death. A doable purpose is served by this depurent. It promotes ac tivity of the kidneys, and expel3 impuri ties from the blood which have no natu ral channel of outlet except those organs. Constipation, biliousness, fever and ague, rheumatism and dyspepsia, are also rem edied by this medicine of thorough action and wide scope. When the tramp, while running away from a house dog, broke the one remaining suspender that held up his tattered pantaloons he said, "Let the poor take courage rents are going down." LEMON ELIXIR. From North Georgia. Mrs. N. A. McEntire writes from Spring Place: For many years I have been a great sufferer from indigestion, sick headaches and nervous prostration caused from biliousness and constipation. I tried many remedies, but got no permanent relief until I used Dr. Moz ley s Lemon Elixir. I am now in better health than for many years. My daughter has been subject to chills and fever from her infancy. I could get nothing to relieve hen the Lemon Elixir has restored her to perfect health. W. A. James, Bell Station, Ala-, writes: I have suffered greatly from indigestion or dys pepsia. One bottle of Lemon Elixir done me more good than all the medicine 1 ever took. 60 cents an4 $1.00 per bottle. - Sold by Druggists. Prepared by H. Mozley, M. D. Atlanta Ga- mayl-lm. FOR JRENT!
