BAA special from Washington
to the New Orleans Democrat says {:
It appears to be the intention of
tho chairman and several members
Of the Appropriation Committee to
omit the river aud harbor bill
entirely this season, making the
SO, 000, 900 appropriated last session
answer for the needs of the ensuing
fiscal year. 1t is probable; howev~
er, that before the close Of the ses-
sior the pressure will become too
strong to be resisted, and this par
simonious policy will be abandon,
ed. 1t is safe to say the bill for
this session will not be more than
half as large as last year.

and consequently the son Of
the Emperor sued for a libel
on his father. Many piquant
things were said in the argu-
ments ; among others that if
the Emperor had not stolen
the particular twenty-six thou
sand hectares referred to, he
had stolen something else and
had been the cause Of the rob-
berry from, France of two pro-
vinccs. But to,,all this, and to
the argument that the law did
not give the son the right to
sue for libel on his father, the
court responded with a judg-
nent in favor of the Prince,
while to the politico-historical
arguments the court said that
defamation could not be JUS
tilted by the misfortunes Of
the person defamed.' How
hard is the way of the libcler
in France may be judged from
the fact that people there are
not permitted even to libel q
dead Emperor.-N. Y, Herald

LOUIS NAPOLEON And HIS LIBEL
SUITS.

Jean Joseph Louis Eugene
Napoleon Bonaparte, common
ly called the Prince Imperial,
recently sued the Steele news
paper in one OF the Paris
courts for libel on his father,
and gained his suit. 1t is a
case that puts in clear light
the spirit of French justice,
and especially it's refusal to
take any cognizance Of persons
in a sense that would deny
justice to one or another on
account Of his history. 1t was
published in the Steele that
one Of the committees of the
assembly was believed to have
discovered that Napoleon III
had illegally disposed Of 49,
900 hectares Of public lands.
1t was shown in court that no
such discovery had been made;
and, in fact, that the money
believed to have been acquirs
ed by such an improper sale
had come regularly from the
sale of confiscated property,

D~Gov. Robson in his mes
sage to the New York legislature
makes the following appropriate
remarks on the un)a wful interference
Of the Federal government in State
elections A significant fact in
connection with our recent election
is an organized attempt Of the Fed
eral authorities to interfere with
the suffrage of our citizens. This
seems to me step upon dangerous
ground. The scanty Justification
pleaded forit is that it is within
the scope of Federal authority to
supervise the election of members
of Congress. 1t is not fit that the
Legislature Of a great State should
sit calmly by while its chief pre-
rogative is torn from its grasp, nor
does it become an Executive to fail
of warning words when such an
usurpation is attempted as the ar
lest by Federal officers of the vo-
ter at the polls. I protest against
such interference. l urge on your
notice the danger of permitting
such proceedings 20 pass urrebuked.
Twice before has this impertin ent
intrusion on the Jurisdiction of the
State been attempted-twice be
fore have able aud courageous
State Executives made manly pros
tests, in which the Legislature and
the people have sustained them.
The danger and usurpation is not
less now than then. I earnestly
press this on your attention.
A prompt aud fearless protest
on your part will stop this effort
once for all. Your silent acquies-
cence in the wrong will certainly
induce its repetition.

THE SENTINEL
GLOOMY PROSPECTS FOR COTTON
PLANTERS.

PLANTERS.
In this immediate section Of coun.
try our planters are suffering ter.
ribly from the combined effects OF
low prices and short crops. The
result is an utter prostration of ag-
ricultural interests and fearful
foreboding of still harder times
Those who have made advances to
planters will be very reluctant to
come to their aid another year.
These who rented land, expecting
to make an average crop and to
receive for it remunerative prices,
are scarcely able to pay their rent,
leaving the merchant in the lurch.
They can not turn a wheel this
year, as planters ; for parties who
make advances will demand the
first lien on the crop, which the
law gives to the owner Of the land,
The latter, unless driven to the
necessity of making the concession.
will not give up his security for
rent.
With the present outlook, we
can not sec how means can be rails
ed for cultivating as large an area
of uplands this year as was done
last year. The low prices of cot
ton precludes the possibility Of
making any money, and unless a
plantation is, to certain extent,
self-supporting, it is impossible to
make both ends meet. OF course
our people will be required to
practice the most rigid economy,
but that will not enable them to
procure without money the supplies
absolutely necessary.
In sections of our country where
the negro population is sparse our
planters have turned their atten>
ton to raising home supplies, and
have ceased to look to St. Louis
for their meat or to New Orleans
for their syrup. Efforts have been
successfully made to raise horses
and also to cultivate wheat sufi.
cient for home demand, It takes
time and a little money to bring
about these changes, so essential to
the weA"being of our people.
In districts densely populated
with negroes, it is out of the ques
tion to attempt to diversity crops
and to raise stock. Where the
lands are fertile, the negroes must
cougregate and devote all their at
tention to cotton, only raising
enough corn to feed themselves
and the mules they use. In the up
lands. already badly worn by the
culture of cotton, the planters. who
own large tracts OF land, will be
compelled to devote the thinner
portions to small grain and pastures
and reduce the number of laborers.
This will give them a chance of
raising their own hogs and horses,
and will reduce, to that extent, the
amount of cotton produced. In
view of the fact that there is an
over-production Of the great staple,
and the price has declined below
the cost Of production it iu no Ion
ger a question Of choice with ref
erence to the expediency of reduc-
ing the area planted in cotton.
Necessity, which is called the
mother Of invention, will force the
planter to resort to other means of
making living. -Shreveport Times.

HOW RAISINS ARE MADE.

A slip Of land bordering on
the Mediterranean somewhat
less than one hundred miles
in leng tn, and in width not ex.
ceeding five or six, is the raj
sin producing territory of
Spain. Beyond these bound
aries the muscatel grape from
which the raisin is principally
produced, may grow and
thrive abundantly ; but the
fruit must go to the market or
the wine press. When the
grape begins to ripen in Aug
ust the farmer carefully in
spects the fruit asst lies on the
warm dry soil, and one by one
clips the clusters as they reach
perfection.
In almost all vineyards
slants of masonry are prepared
looking like unglazed hot-beds,
and covered with fine pebbles:
on which the fruit is exposed
to dry. But the small proprie>
tor prefers not to carry his
grapes so far. 1t is better, he
thinks, to deposit them nearer
at hand, where there is less
danger Of bruising; and where
bees and wasps arc less likely
to find them. Day by day the
cut branches are examined
and turned, till they are suffi-
GENTLY cured to be borne TO
the house, usually on the hill
top, and there deposited in the
empty wine press till cnoungh
have been collected for the
trimmers and packers to begin
their work. At this stage
great piles of rough dried rai>
sins are brought forth from
the Wine press and heaped
upon boards.
One by one the lunches are
carefully inspected, those OF
the first quality being trimmed
of all irregularities and imper-
feet berries, and deposited in
piles by themselves. So, in
turn, are treated those Of the
second quality while the
clippings and inferior fruit are
received into baskets at the
feet of the trimmers, and re-
served for home consumption.
A quantity of small wooden
trays are now brought for
ward, just the size Of q COM
mon raisin box. and about an
inch deep. In these papers are
neatly laid. so as to lap over
and cover the raisins evenly
deposited in the trays, which
are then subjected to heavy
pressure in rude press. AT,
ter pressing, the raisins are
dropped into the boxes for

SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
MAKES THE FOLLOWING ANNONCE.

The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with regard to
onerous conditions contained in life assur.
ance contracts ana the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the public IN
dorsemcnt Of the liberal usagcs of this So.
ciety, as shown by its largely increased

to consider whether the contract could not
be simpliicd and certain conditions erased
thcretrom which lave been the subject Of
much criticism and misconccption.
After a careful examination of tue cx.
pcrence Of some Of the best companies in
Great Britain, who have shown greater
libcralty than has been customary in this
country, this society feels justified in adopt
ing a form Of contract in which the follow
ing important concessions are made to pol
icy holders throughout the United States {:
I. Policies will be made incontcstabc
after three years from their date.
., Each ordinary policy will provide for
adctinate surIender-valuc in paid-up assur-

three years from its date,
3, Each Tontinc policy will contain Il
definite surrendcr-valuc in cash, IN case of
Withdrawal at the end of the tontine
period
a. The contract will be concisely and
clearly expressed, containing only such
provisions as are necessary to protect the
polcy-holder.
.. The above concessions will hereafter
inure to the benefit Of all policies already
issued and in force, after three years from
