COIFAX, GRANT PARISH LA, SATURDAY, JANUARY


The Hon. Mr. Fnrman of Georgia
has electrified his State by showing.
how he took poor lands and in four
years made it produce bale of cot
ton per acre. Mr.. j. III. Rhorer, on
Paramount plantation. this parish,
planted a patch Of four and a bali
acres on old land that has been in
cultivation over forty years. and ,cas
neuer manwed. 1t got laie start,
suffered from too much rain, which
made the cotton rot badly. and was
stripped of foliage by the caterpillars
about the Goth of September destroy
ing most OF the top crop, and yet he
pressed out 1886 poneds. or seven
bales Of 420 pounds each-over one
and a half bales per acre. Many
others in Grant parish have done as
well. Now. if our Georgia friends
want to solve Mir. Fprman's problem
cheaply. let them come and occupy
these Red river lands.

A Mid-NOvember Presage of
Winter.
New York Herald, II.


The cold wave which has just passed
over the country affords us an indication
Of the thermal conditions Of the northern
parts Of the continent from which il
emanated, and consequently presages in
some degree the character Of the coming
winter.
On November 10, 1882, corresponding
cold wave descended from British Amer
lea upon Montana and Dakota, attended
in its passage by minimum temperatures
from fifteen TO twenty.three degrees be-
low zero in Wyoming Territory, and, as
il moved southwark, by thermal changes
exceeding forty degrees in twenty-fouI
hours-abnormal phenomena quite omin.
Gus of cold winter. as the sequel proved.
The cold winter of 16S0-8l also was strik-
ingly foreshadowed by the remarkable
mid November frigid wave, which caused
lower temperatures in the Gulf State:
than were ever before recorded.
But this weeks cold wave has not
brought equally intense and widespread
zero temperature from the far North, the
lowest thermometer records reported dur
ing its passage showing only about four
degrees below zero in Dakota and twelve
below in Minnesota.
So far as the passing wave gives any
presage Of the future season there is no
reason to apprehend that it will be exoes-
sively rigorous. Had the winter in the
Arctic seas and British America devel-
oped by this time into one Of unusual
severity some traveller from these boreal
regions, in the shape of frigoriiic wave
with temperatures below those reported,
would most probably ere this have given
notice of the fact in our extreme North
west Territories. The winter Of lS79-S0
was preceded by a November free from
very intense cold in the Northwest. II
the present month brings no more rapid
decline Of temperature in the Rocky
Mountains than Il has done the prospects
Of moderate winter will be brighter
But we repeat the Herald forecast Of the
1lth inst. "For the coming week de-
cidedly colder weather is probable, though
II Is not likely the minimum tempera-
lures Of the month will be developed
This has up to date been fully verified.

WILL THE SENATE BE RROR-
GANIxED,
And II SO, What VIII he Done
With Secretary George
q. GOrham?


NpeClal 70 NOQrlef-JOuIhaAs
WASHINGTON, November ls-Whll'
the Speakership is the main topic Of pub
lie discussion in Washington, and II
likely 10 overshadow other questions dur
ing the next week, another matter Is re
ceiving quiet attention: "Will the Senate
be reorganized?" is question in which :
few men are very deeply interested, and
for months some Of them have been earn
estly engaged in trying 10 find an affirm
atiye answer to it. Perhaps the man who
feels the liveliest interest In such an an
swer is George Q. Gorham, formerly Sec
retary Of the Senate, who received the
caucus nomination for that office when
the Republicans, aided by Senator Ma
hone, attempted TO fill the Senate offices
two years ago. If either Of the Virginia
Senators should vote with the Re
publicans this winter they would
be able TO do what they failed to accom-
plish in 1881, but there seems TO be some
feeling Of uncertainty on that score
Mr.. Gorham's friends assert that If he
should again be renominated General
Malone would vote with the Republic
cans on the question Of reorganization,
otherwise not. They also assert that Mr.
GOrham can secure the caucus nomina-
ton, but that does not seem quite so prob
able. A prominent California Republican
recently said:
"Gorham has not been regarded as a
very good Republican in California, and
| do not see how Senator Miller could
afford 10 support his preten,ions or vote
for him in the causus. His promotion
would be regarded with general disfayor
by the Republicans Of California, Mr..
Gorham's share as an editor in tho con-
troversy which resulted in the assasina-
ton Of President Garfield, and the over
throw Of bossism in New York and Penn
sylvania, has not been forgotten, and II
may prove a greater weight than he can
carry in case he enters the race for the
honor which 1t is understood he covets.
More than one Senator who voted
for him two years ago has been
heard 10 declare that he would be
placed in very embarrassing situation II
the Republicans should attempt TO reor~
ganize the Senate on any plan which
should include Mr.. Gorham as a candi,
date"
There is reason to believe It has more
than once been suggested to the President
that he might relieve not only the Repub-
lican Senators, but his Administration
also, from embarrassment by giving Mr.
Gorham q suitable appointment at a con.
siderable distance from Washington. To
this it is said the answer has been that the
President could not afford TO confer an
office upon Mr.. Gorham, not because. he
might fail TO perform his duties we'll, but
on account of the general disfavor, not TO
say indignation, with which his appoint
ment would be received by the Republi-
cans generally. II is understood that
there will be a conference of Republican
Senators next week TO take into .cpnsidera-
ton and decide upon the proper course to
pursue in regard to reorganization of the
Senate officers.
