We learn, on excellent authority
from Washington, that an amend
ment to the constitution authorlz-
ing suits to be brought in the
Federal courts to compel States OF
the Union to pay their debts, will
be very soon introduced in Con
gress. It has been drafted by
Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, and
received the Endorsement OF some
of the leading constitutional
lawyers of the country. Our
informant, himself leader 10 Con
gress and a lawyer Of en1inence,
believes that the New Hampshire
case against Louisiana must fall
and that its failure will do much
to create a public sentiment
favorable to an extension OF
judicial authority to cover such
suits in the future. He is OF the
opinion that the amendment will
pass through the next Congress,
by a large majority of the
Northern and a strong Southern
vote. 1t will largely effect South
ern interests and it's mere introduce
ton must necessarily retard the

The Sorghum Outlook.
Editor Free Prtu
\ late number of the Prairie Far
mer, published at Chicago, one of
the most entertaining and instructive
agricultural papers of this country,
contains IN exhaustive article on the
cultivation of the Chinese Amber
Cane and the manufacture of sugar
and syrup therefrom, furnished to
that paper by Mr.. A. J. Russell, of
GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin. Thinking
that the many farmer readers of the
FREE PRESS would be interested in
perusing an extract or two, we have
clipped the following for their edifl-
cation
THE future prospects OF this industry are
very bright, now that We have overcome the
prejudice against sorgho by eliminating all Of
the use principally, OF improved machinery,
opening up an almost unlimited market for
this class OF goods. Steam works, with a ca
pacityof from 20l to D acres each, are under
present season in Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri, with the as.
surance Of market NJ remunerative prices
for all the manufactured product equaling
season. With such gigantic strides In the
effort 10 produce pure article OF syrup and
sugar, ii can not be doubted for u moment,
that consumers will soon have their wishes
for pure unadulterated article, granted 10
the fullest sense of the term, as IL Is cheaper
for them II those interested in its manufac.
tnre, will put pure article on the market,
than 10 buy adulterated goods"
The central factory system is gaining favor,
ana such factory should, at this stage OF
devel Dpement Of the business, be prepared u
grind annually, from 300 To 500 acres Of cane,
grown in It's own ncighborhood, so as to be
sure Of having enough business to pay inter
est on capital Invested. II should also be
fitted up with vacuum pans, granting trucks
mixer and ccntrifugals, sugar moulds, etc.
and large capacity Of storage tanks to 70.
ceivo the scmi-syrup made by auxiliary works
that may be under contract to the central
works, working under instructions from the
central factory"
Surely there must be men In Blue
Earth county who are deeply inter
ested in this comparatively new In
dustry, who are already satisfied oil
its ultimate success. and have the
energy, and intelligence, and means
to plant refinery in our midst. We
said with the utmost confidence that
ere long we shall be able to announce
through the columns Of the FREE
Press, that a party has stepped tc
