SIX weeks, congress suddenly
Folded its tent like the Arab.
And as silently stole away
"Like the Arab, it also managed to
secure an enormous amount Of loot
from the public treasury before it
brought a long and unsatisfactory ses-
sion to an abrupt termination. 1t will
be remembered In political history for
many acts OF commission and many
more of omission. The measures to
which it devoted intelligent consider
alton were unfortunately few in nun.

condemnation in their very title were

Congress, more than any of its imme.

And this is the Congress which was
to show the Democrats how to legislate
and attend strictly to the public bust
ness! The fact is, the Republicans
are incapable Of attending to any
business properly which concerns the
public. They labor actively to 6lch
money out OF the Treasury to keep up
the vast political machinery Of their
party: they spend weeks passing laws
to gag a minority and to seat negroes
who have never been elected to Con-
gress. They have appropriated twenty
per cent moro money to defray the net

The South and the Cereal CroDs.
Brooklyn Eagle.

1t is an important fact that this
yearth the Southern States nave devoted
a larger acreage to cereal crops than
ever before, and in many cases the
producers will be in a position to send
their surplus grain to the Northern
markets, instead Of drawing upon the
latter for supplies, as they did last
year.
Generally speaking, the State of
Texas is absolutely self supporting
this year, raising enough grain for her
inhabitants and for feed for hogs.
sustaining immense herds of cattle
within her own borders, raising cotton
and wool enough to supply all her
needs, and doubtless having a fair
amount Of all necessaries for export.
What is true Of Texas is also true
in a great measure of other States of
the South. The early reports of the
Department of Agriculture noted a
large increase in the grain acreage,
and the weather has been all that
could be desired for the growth and
ripening Of this grain. 1t is now re-
ported that Georgia is sending oats to
Baltimore for the first time In her
history, and this indicates a Surplus
Of small grains in other States.
The railroads OF the South have
recently been r~eorganized and ex-
tended, and thus facilities are offered
for the transportation Of Northern
products which have not been enjoyed
in former years. Capital is being in
vested in manufactures of various
kinds, mineral and agricultural re-
sources are being rapidly developed.
and the people Of the South are en-.
couraged to even greater efforts.
The great want now appears to be
immigration. Foreigners who flock to
our shores are directed to the North
and Northwest, and apparently sbun
the South. If more attention were
paid by Southern associations to the
matter of immigration, che result
would doubtless be highly beneficial
not only 10 the country but the indi-
yidual.

Gwine to Ride in Dat Cab or

Last night, shortly before the
Memphis and Charleston train left
i've negro men, two Of them accom-.
panied by their wives, approached the
brakeman who was standing on the
platform Of the ladies car. and
demanded admittance into the ladies'
car. This demand the brakeman
refused to accsde, wh~ereupon the
negroes said they would enter the a
II they had to resort to force. The
door was locked before thew could
execute their threats. They then
appealed to Conductor Hall. who
informed them that they must 90 in
the forward car which was provided
for them, and that it was a first
class car, equal in every way to the
n which they wished to enter.
They then raised another objection.
saying that some of them had their
wives with them, and there was too
much smoking going on. The con-
ductor agreed to put a stop to all
smoking, and see that the best of
order was preserved, and that they
should be equally provided for
IN every way that the rest were.
They %obstinately refused to accede to
this. The parleying was finally ended
by Captain Halls Fall aboard p and
when last seen the negroes were stand
ing on the platform, swearing VEN
geance against the train men and that
they would 60 into the ladies' car if
they had to break the door down.
Conductor Hall informed a Times
reporter that he had made them the
fairest offers possible, and if they could
not abide by his decision, and persisted
in standing on the platform, he would
be under the necessity Of putting them
of his train. Upon investigation, it
was found that the car which they re-
fused to enter was the same one in
which they came from Memphis. A
well known Chattanooga lawyer inter-
ceded with the.cOnductor in behalf of
the negroes, but his efforts proved of
no avail, and he advised them to per.
sist in their determination and 90 in
the ladies' car at all hazards. Quite
a large crowd assembled, and at one
time it looked as if a riot was ipevita,
Bile.
The negroes live in Memphis, and
have been in Columbus, Ohio, where
they participated in a Knights Tenn
plar drill.
