SWISS SRrrLERs.-Coloncl C. J.
p. Cresap, of Beverley, is in the
city in the interest Of the Swiss
Emigration Society. The Colonel
reported to q Leader representative
that there are two Swiss colonies in
this Statc--one at lIelvctia, con-
sisting Of eighty families, and one
at Alponino Of twenty families.
They are mostly engaged in raising
stock, and all are prospecting finely.
They are a hardy, industrious race,
clearly and frugal in their habits,
and possessed Of considerable ma
tive intelligence. They will make
good citizens. Colonel Crcsap said
that twenty additional families ar
rived last week and more are cx-
Ipccted. Ills not improbable that
West Virginia will get quite Swiss
population. \ nucleus has been
formed, and prosperous as it is,
these who are from it will write TO
their homes across the water, and
oyer will smarm their sisters, big
brothers, their cousins and their
aunts, to say nothing Of the family

They have discovered III Connecticut That
the old blue laws Of 1909 have never been re-
pealed, but are still In force. The Sunday
laws Of early New England were much strieter
and more severe than those of Moses. One
of them, enforced In Connecticut q century
ago, prohibited all persons from travelling Or
engaging In recreation on Sunday between
sunrise and sunset. This matter has been
called up by an excursion leaving the little
city Of Norwich, the other day, for Block Isl
and. A minister Of the town protested against
this sacrilegious act, and called on the mayor.
by virtue of this old law, to interfere and
seize the offending excursion steamer. The
mayor declined to do SO, and the excursion
came off as advertised. Although defeated in
this. the Norwich Sabbatarians have not sur
rendered, and propose calling public meet
ings, SO as to work up public sentiment on
this subject.

1t ia a good year for the watering places. Ill
the papers declare. The number or persons
enjoying themselves IN the country just ut
present is fully 30 per cent IN excess Of last
year. There Is large increase In visitors
from the South. many families having gone
into the country early In the season through
fear Of a yellow fever outbreak The increased
prosperity Of the country and the fact that
the prices ut summer watering places are low
or now than ever have Induced many others TO
take few weeks rest. There IS probably no
country in the world where 80 many people
take vacation for the summer as the United
States. France has her Etratat and Nice,
England her Bath and Brighton, but while o
few thousand well-to-do Frenchmen and
Englishmen visit these places, the Americans
pour down by the hundreds Of thousands to
the sea coast or seek refuge In the mountains.
Certainly one-half the city population OF this
country will have obtained from two to four

The London Times proposes to reduce the
expenses OF the government Of India, and at
the same time add to Its real strength. The
plan proposed Is the doing away with the
armies OF the native potentates, which are at
once source OF expense to the people and a
menace to the governing English. The total
population Of the semi-independent prnci-
palities is 44,0oO,O0o, and their revenue about
S61, 900: their armies number 6i,172
cavalry, 24l,063 infantry and $3.50 guns.
The net revenue Of British India Is $751;
oS7, s45, which, added to the sum derived
from the native States, makes about S24s,-
100000. The English military expenditure
alone amounts to s925oo0oO, beside which
the forces Of the native States cost the gov
eminent about S1500o,00o Thus the military
establishments OF the country absorb about
one-half of the revenue. The Times urges
the disarming OF the principaltties, and a re-
tducuon of the Anglo-In Indian army itself.
The last would be rendered possible By the
Establishment OF the military establishments
OF the native princes. The expenses might be
still further reduced by purging the military
any civil lists Of sinecures. These sugges-
tons seem SO reasonable that 1t Is q wonder
that Nthey hare not been made before and
a..edNa.

THE STATE CAPITAL AND NEW Or
LEANS.

The people Of our ambitious little future
capital -whi3h, by-the-by, Is the senior Of
New Orleans begin to be quite elated at tho
prospect Of railroad connection with New Or
leans. We share their pleasant anticipation
Of the great blessings Of such connection,
seeing how far II will 20 to promote the hap
pness and enlightenment OF our State Off
Gals. who. under new constitution, will be
compelled to take up their residence at Baton
Rouge
II is quite sangnlnely announced that Mr.
Clarke the energetic chief manager of the
New Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago Railroad
has perfected some arrangement hy which
the New Orleans Pacific Railway will be
connected with the New Orleans ST. Louis
and Chicago, through Baton Rouge, by the
route long ago surveyed and laid off from
that town I'd PonchatouIa. This connection
will give Baton Rouge ralroad com,nunica-
ton with this city, making the distance less
than by the uncertain and irregular transpor-
tation OF the river. Such contamination
will 20 far to remove many Of the objections
to Baton Rouge MS capital. and will be
mutually beneficial to both cities.
Should the New Orleans Pacific be prose
cuted to completion to Shreveport through
the Red river valley the second city of this
State will secure like facility Of communca-
ton and intercourse with the capital and the
commercial emporium OF the State. This re-
suit will go rs far rs any other we can i'm
agine to break down and obllterate the sec
tional lines and divisions Of louisiana and
to draw every portion OF the State In closer
bonds Of intercourse and mutually of inter
est and sentiment with every other.
With the completion OF these railroad con
nections and with our many advantages In
numerous bayous and lakes, Louisiana will
be supplied with means and facilities for
transportation and intercourse equal to those
enjoyed by any other State of the Union.
In mentioning these enterprises which are to
effect this much-desired result, we must not
forget the railway from Morgan City, trav-
ersing the rich and beautiful Teche region to
Fermilion, and then across the valuable but
very partially developed long stretch OF coun-
try extending from Vermilionville to the Sa-
bine. z5.-z- .=.=.
The two sections OF this line are In rapid
process Of execution, the one section Id charge
Of that sure and enterprising firm of G. A.
Whitney l. Co., and the other Of McComb, the
great cotton tie capitalist, who have large
forces Of laborers at work, with the deter
mination to complete the whole In time to
