THE PRESS OF THE FUTURE.
A Valuable Labor Saving and
Economical Invention.

Dropping in at the Cotton Exchange
to day a representative of the LEDGER
had his attention attracted to a mode
Of a new cotton and hay press, around
which was gathered number of lead,
ing merchants and business men, mos
of whom declared it to be decided
improvement and success.
Mr.. Bankston, of Fort Smith, who
has made presses for many years, Il
the patentee. The press is very simple
in construction. The full size is
mounted on a wooden frame
with three inch horizontal
screw about twenty feet long
running through the centre. The
press combines the principle Of the
screw and lever very ingeniously. Il
fills from the top and presses from. the
bottom, and can be lun by hand OF
any other power. One man can press
fifteen bales of cotton In day. Nine
hundred pounds can be compressed
into less than the size OF an ordinary
bale, five buudred pounds can be re-
duced to thickness of IS inches or
60 pounds can be reduced to a square
foot. Ordinary horse or steam power
can easily be applied and much greater
speed attained. The force, when APP
Piled, is so near equally distributed
that no part is likely to give way. The
press is built rather for strength,
year and tear than great speed, yet it
eau bs run fast enough to
meet the wants of the great majority
Of planters. Every large plantation
may have its compress at an outlay
less than for the old fashioned cotton
press. 1t seems destined to work quite
. revolutiol in the business.
One Of th se presses, full size, built
by the Chickasaw Iron Works, can be
seen at the cornsF Of Main and Wi :
chester strcss. IL was thoroughly
tested last Friday with the most salts

TIE SEASONS OUTLOOK.

An examination of the reports of the
press OF the interior results in the convic.
ton that in the aggregate the current year
will prove one of bounty to the State, and
of the liveliest encouragement to nearly all
material interests in it. Fruit interests in
some sections have suffered, but the gen.
eral outcome will be gratifying. Agricult-
ure in all its branches gives excellent
promise. Irrigation is taking on practical
forms by the venturing of private capital
more largely than ever in that enterprise.
Stock of all kinds is in good condition.
immigration will not be heavy, but of a
desirable character, while the steps taken
to promote it promise large influx for
1884. No complaints are heard from vine.
yardists, and the grape crop promises to be
abundant. Money is easy, and the supply
exceeds the demand. Mining promises well,
without, however, indicating any boom. P"
Railroad building is being prosecuted in
the southern and northern extremes of the
State. No complaints are made of tramps,
and apparently there is labor for all who
sincerely desire it. There is not so much
building going on or promised as was an
ticipated, and there is nothing just now to
indicate great activity in lumber markets,
but good trade is anticipated somewhat

MORE Dynamite ENDORSEMENT.

Our evening contemporary possesses a
remarkable aptitude for apologizing for
dynamite conspirators, communistic cranks
and the scum of Europe that drifts to these
shores to contsminate the public and dis
seminate the infamous doctrines of COM
munism, the success of which would, as
Professor Mitchell SO tersely puts it, in
troduce chaos into the social fabric" For
instance, in reference to the charge that
Herr Most, the refugee tramping incen-
diary" whom it classes as revolution
ist, has sold out to the Austrian Govern
ment, it expresses its disbelief of the
story, and adds: "This is the trick of
the governments and oligarchists to falsely
allege that the leaders or advocates Of the
people are traitors, for the purpose of dis
crediting them with their own. It is a
meaD, contemplate trick, which only the
base would resort to" The italics are ours,
but the words which dignity this foreign
brute as leader of the people" are those
of our neighbor.

wooIsgY's OPINION.

Before dynamite was invented, or dyna-
mite conspiracies dreamed of in America,
DR.. Woolsey wrote concerning political
refugees They may not, consistently
with the obligations of friendship between
States, be allowed to plot against the per.
son of the sovereign, or against the insti.
tutions of their native country. Such acts
are crimes, for the punishment of which
the laws of the land ought TO provide, but
do not require that the accused be re,
manded for trial to his native country. u
Those who hold that this country is a
free field in which dynamite fends may
hatch out their denominations will probably
write the venerable doctor OF international
law an ass.

Another destructive CONDENSATION.

Fire is good servant but bad master.
Heat is only fire by another name, and is just
as destructive; so that when the natural
temperature of the body is above the stand.
ard of health sickness is sure to follow. If
the heat is predominant in the head, bald
ness is invariably the result. To overcome
this Objectionable feature and insure heavy
crop Of hair, and that soft and silky appear
ance which is go desirable, use Carboline-a
dsodorized extract of petroleum. There is
no use talking, there are more virtues In Pc
.troleum than are dreamed of by the Standard
or any other refining company. AS now i'm
proved and perfected, Carboline possesses
qualities unknown to the mass Of the public.
The instances where its application has
proven beneficial can scarcely be numbered,
while no instance has been recorded where it
proved injurious. For many years its pecu-
liar qualities as hair restorative have been
admitted By scientists, but the difficulty ex-
perienced in deodorizing it stood in the way.
This obstacle has been overcome. and to-day
the most efficacious and acceptable aid in
promoting the growth of hair, preventing de-
csy and rshabilitating bald heads, is Carbo-
line. Sold by all druggists.

PORTUGAL oFRgNsEs.

In the treaty between Belgium and the
United States, consummated In the year
1889 a urecedent was set as to recognition
of crimes that have heretofore had shelter
under the plea of political offenses. One
clause relating to extradition reads IAN
attempt against the life of the head OF
foreign Government or against that OF any
member of his family, when such attemp'.
comprises the act either of murder or as
sassination or of poisoning, shall not BIZ. con-
sidered political offense or an act con-
nected with such an ofense. No other
convention between the United States and
a foreign country contains a similar clause.
No other treaty provides that for such of
lenses as are above named The guilty shall
be extradited. But the clause does not In
clude attempts upon the lives of minor off
GERS of a Government. Had Guiteau es
caped to Belgium, under the clause above
quoted, had it then been in force, he could
have been seized and extradited a
agaizst all pleas that he was revolutionist
If it was a wise provision in the
treaty with that country, there is no rea
sen why it should not be incorporated intc
treaties with other countries. But why
should it not hEve broader scope, and in
clude heads OF departments, attempts t.
destroy government buildings, etc. Why
should not nations stand to each other al
do persons, not only as to reciprocal re
spect and courteous treatment, but as t.
such crimes as the dynamite conspirator
of New York now boast? No politica
authority can throw its restraint over indie
pendent sovereignties, but why should no
nations consent to restrain for each othe
those who, as they claim, "make wal" b.
the employment of methods which are alb
| horreut to a common humanity?
