The Silk Industry

The silk interest of Nj sis ippi must
be accorded prominence as among
the beacons to light the way of the
immigrants from France, Italy and
the other sunny lands to our Com
monwealth. Last week we visited
Corinth for the purpose of inspect
ing the cocooneries just beyond
the borders of that town, that have
been established by our French
fellow-citizens:
We first visited the establishment
of Mr.. L. S, Crozier, whose name
and face is familiar to most Of our
readers, and we found in bis feeding
barn countless worms in all stages
of development feeding gluttononsly
and rapidly approaching the weaving
stage. His mulberry plantations are
quite extensive, and the evidences of
preparation seen on every hand be-
token great future activity. He has
agreed to make handsome exhibit
in the Mississippi Department OF The
New Orleans Exposition.
From there we rode to the silk
farm and mulberry plantation OF Mrs
NJ Doche, one of the most intelligent
and en- teri rising ladies in the State.
She took us to her feeding barn
where hundreds Of thousands of th'
little toilers of The choicest varieties
were seen actively and BEAUTIFULLY al
work, thriving she assured us as well
as they possibly could in any trans
Atlantic country. Her business is
increasing so enormously that she
told MS that she would be obliged t.
put up another feeding barn, and
expects next spring 10 have over +
million OF worms upon her trays
The immensity Of such an enterptis'
may be appreciated by our reader
when they are told that these littl
creatures ARE rayenuus eaters anG
must be fed entirely upon mulberry
leaves, and several times day,
Mrs. NJ Docho has agreed to ox
hibit all the varieties Of cocoons ii
the Mississippi Department of th'
New Orleans Exposition, and also to
exhibit beautiful rteled and spun
silk-by the way she is the only per
son in the S ate. so far as we are in
formed, who is prepared to reel and
spin the cocoon product, and Is as
sisted by several recent arrivals from
the silk regions of France.

Gov. Lowry has returned from Wash
ington where he has been engaged for
some days in endeavoripg to advance
the claims OF Mississippi to settlement
with the Government. A large sum OF
money on account of sales made by the
Government of lands listed to the State,
stands to our credit on the books of the
Treasury. but the Government insists
upon hol ling it in compliance with the
ruling of former Comptroller on ac-
count of the failure OF Mississippi to
pay the "war taxes" leved upon her.
The Attorney Generals opinion Is IN
our favor very emphatically, but it is
probable that we will not be able to
draw the money until Congress passes a
relief bill for our benefit. Such bill
hns been introduced by Hon. Ethel
Barksdale, and there is little doubt but
that the judiciary Committee will re-
port tavorabIy upon it.

The bill proposing to reduce the
tax upon liquors distilled from fruits
to ten cents per gallon, does not fill
the bill. They should be made alb
solutely free so that an active market
for fruits may be created in every
neighborhood, and the people may be
enabled to obtain pure and, compar'
atively, harmless drinks as a substi'
tute for the frey and poisonous
distilations of the west, that are now
SO largely consumed.
With a tax of ten cents a gallon
all Of the odious formulas will be re-
tanned in full force, that now accom-
pany the collection of ninety cents
and the country manufacturer will
still have to await the convenience OF
the guager and collector, ere he can
drink his own brandy.

When the railroad commission bill was
under discussion in the House, Mr.
Houston, Of Monroe county, offered an
amendment providing that in case the
commissioners were enjoined by the
courts their salaries should cease during
the time they were prevented from aci-
ing. This amendment. on motion OF Mr.
Williamson, was tabled, and now we will
have the commissioners and their clerks
to pay for doing nothing, unless they
Voluntarily resign or refuse to accept the
salary, which is not very likely. Williams
son, Iuge, and their demagogue follow
ers, not only consumed two thirds of the
time of the Legislature on the unconsti-
tutional supervision bills, ald hundreds
Of prohibition bills, but they succeeded
in involving the State in interminable liti
cation, and the payment Of $4,000 in
salaries. All this trouble and expense
has been saddled upon the State by Il few
demagogues, who expected TO ride into
Office by exciting the preiudices of the
farmer against ''rallroad monopolsts. y
II they had been satisfied with statua-
tory law preventing railroads from dis.
eliminating for or against certain points
on their lines, the people and the rail.
