Cotton Charqss Should be Reduced,

OUltUN OWdE48S OsAUusu W HU0uVOuG
We see that all classes Of the New
Orleans cotton men, at the eleventh.
Aeur," are Offering TO reduce the vas
rious charges on cotton handled bss
them. This was virtually forced org
them by the sharp competition OF
Memphis, Tenn. We are truly glae
some relief will be afforded che muck
depressed cotton farmers. At tbs
present ruinously low prices of cots
ton, they cannot afford to continue
to pay the present extravagant and
heavy charges of the cotton commits
sion merchants and other cotton
handlers. The factors in New Or
leans say they are willing to sell for
one and quarter per cent, or fifty
cents per bale, the usual charges
heretofore have been two and half
per cent, or about one dollar per
bale. Compress men offer to scale
their prices and storage charges are
being cut down. This will be some
relief to the cotton raisers.
We hope to see all other places
handling cotton take this wise and
just step. These matters, like water,
must seek their level. In other words,
all charges on cotton must be reduced
in proportion to the ruling price of
the staple, or else the cotton raisers
will be compelled to seek relief
through other channels.
The market town OF our section,
Shreveport, should open her eyes to
this much needed reduction in cotton
charges. The factors there, if we
be informed correctly, continue to
charge two and half per cent for
selling, fifty cents for storage, be-
sides some minor charges, such as
drayage, insurance, ETC., unless there
be special arrangements made to
the contrary. Even then the charges
are not as low as they should be.
They ought to scale their prices at
lesat fifty per cent all round.
Another thing we hear the farmers
of this section complain great deal
of, is the usual loss in weight of five
to twenty pounds per bale. Whether
the farmers are the cotton weighers
are correct in weighing is a question
we will not pretend to answer, but
suggest that the matter should be
looked into and adjusted to the
equal interest and satisfaction of ali
concerned. Why could not farmers
be members of the cotton exchanges
of their various market towns or cities
so they could assist in adjusting
these inequalities as circumstances
demanded? As it is now, the COM
mercial men have the regulating OF
cotton matters all in their own
hands. It seems to us that the iner-
camille and agricultural classes ought
to come closer together in more
harmony than seems to exist now.
The railroad companies are soul
less corporations, and, of course, will
not reduce their charges unless com
peting lines or steamboat opposition
| forces them to do so.

SIDEWALKS.

II there is one standing disgrace to
Honolulu, prominent above others, il
is the condition of its sidewalks Their
bad condition is incapable Of exag.
geration, but still really appears in a
stronger light, from the well-kept pri-
vate grounds that border them in many
places, throwing their dirty and rugged
character into bolder relief by contrast.
There has been legislation at the past
session, to provide for regulating the
grade and width of sidewalks, This, if
put into effect, would be no slight i'm
provement. People would put up
with a moderate proportion Of dust on
the paths in dry weather, and treach-
erous and dirty mud in wet, if they
were only exempt from the rude
shocks to their systems and the peril
to their bones, at present obtaining
through the irregularities of surface.
Excepting short stretches here and
there, there are really no sidewalks in
Honolulu. What is dignifed by that
name is like the equator in geography,
an imaginary line running from here to
there. Instead OF walks there are
series of corduroy bridges, causeways,
rude platforms, cellar gratings and
mule paths
At the opening Of last session series
of bills on this and cognate matters
gave promise of very desirable era Of
reform with regard to public improve
nsnts Itreally looked as if the prac-
teal was going to have its innings in
government, while the fanciful, the
superstitious and the mischievous were
going to be held in allegiance. Before
the. session. closed however, the treas
ury was authorized to be drained for
everything but the practical and useful.
While the latter class is not shut out,
yet dear experience gives no better
assurance of, tangible public improve
ments being effected under the legisla-
tionof last session than under that Of pre-
ceding ones. Yet. while there is life
there is hope, and it becomes both the
press and the public to use their
influence with the new administration
to signalize its record by vigorous
policy Of public improvements. II
the native Hawaiian rule desires
to abide in strength, it can adopt
no better means to that end than
by preferring the real to the un.
real, the useful to the ornamental
They will find the Anglo-SaxOn popu-

public, more tangible and enduring
than those who have directed the
scepter before them have been.

Washington Springs, June q, 1861
notice in your issue of the 18th an arti-
Gle in regard to the state league move
ment at this place, copied from the
Sioux City Journal, which does great in
justice to one of III leading citizens and
is an insult to the people of Jerauld
county. It states that So squad OF DEM
ocrats and q republican by the name OF
McNamara attempted by q rowdy1sh in
reference to prevent the organization OF
a state league" Nothing could be
further from the truth than the above
statement. The meeting was called by
the advocates of the state league, irres-
pectiye of party OF sex, and after q
hours trade against the democratic
party by the president of the league
other speakers were called for by the
audience and it was found that nine
tenths of the people of the county, ir-
respective OF party, were opposed to
the league. There was no rewdylsm on
the part of any one, and as to the
league booming, as is stated in the arti-
ole, the SECOND meeting was held last
Saturday and it is now too dead to ever
be resuscitated. After three weeks of
hard labor its advocates succeeded in
getting a membership of twenty-seven
in the county, while an anti-leagus
pledge, which was circulated two days
before the last meeting, received the
signatures of over three hundred legal
voters of the county and would have re-
eeived eight hundred with more time to
circulate it.
The last nesting of the league it was
adjourned sine die and its president,
Rev. s. F. Huntley, thinking he had
struck a more difficult job than mission
AIRY work among the hsathens, hied
himself away to the rural districts, there
TO expound the word of God. Its
secretary, q big Swede politician of this
place, is digging a grave in the Wessing-
ton Hills in which to bury the Jerauld
county limb of the stats league, which
smells 30 bad that the county board of
health have been called upon to abate
the nuisance.
Jerauld county is enthusiastically in
favor of division and admission, but
they have nc use for the state league.
Yours truly, FAIR PLAY.
