FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1886.
A LEGISLATIVE SCENE.

When Mr. Gibson was announcing
bills that had received the royal assent
yesterday, he came to the one fol
making the Hawaiian version the bind
ing one in the Interpretation of the
laws. He had just read the title, when
Mr.. Kaulukou and several other reac.
tlonsries interrupted him with a great
clamor Of applause. The member for
Hilo interjected some distasteful re-
marks about the haohS (foreigners).
He and his allies we're, however, griev-
ously taken back when the Premier, as
soon as he had chance to proceed,
stated the bill just mentioned had been
disallowed by His Majesty 1t is a
matter for congratulation to courts and
litigants that this extremely silly bill
has been prevented from becoming
law. If the royal vote was only exer-
cised in scotching legislation that is
besides not being wanted
by the people, it would never be
thought of as prerogatve involving the
of popular rights, particu-
arly while such Legislature as the
present one is the best obtanable.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.


Mr.. Kaai waited till he was sure his
vote would not hurt the tax bill, then
threw it against the measure of spolia-
tion. Has he ever heard of the danger
of trying to sit on two stools at the
same timer
Our legislative summary is crowded
out by press Of local and foreign news
this morning. The principal event of
yesterday was the passage Of the tax
increase bill by IA to r3. Mr.. Kaulu-
kou introduced resolution to relieve
the Commissioners of Crown Lands to
the tune of about $II, 900. Tomorrow
was set for consideration of the opium
bill, which yesterday the house refused
to have printed.

When the Ministry fought behind ar

sion.

AT LAST,

Gen. Gordon's speech, delivered yes
terday, at the laying Of the corner stone
of the Confederate monument in
Montgomery, is one of the best we ever
read. Free from sectional feeling, the
great orator scared up to the high
place his grand subject should occupy,
and pictured the finest sentiments Of
patriotism in words that burn. Right
proudly he showed that monuments to
Lincoln, Grant, Thomas, Mcpherson
and other towering Union men,
are also monuments to Lee,
Jackson, Johnston and the
other Confederate leaders and the
ragged hosts they so often led to vic
tory.
All this is now the heritage of this
glorious Republic. Americans North,
South, East and West, should be able 4
to refer to it, with the same patriotic
feelings of pride, that Englishmen refer
TO the leaders and hosts, who fought
the wars Of the Roses. Gordon's
speech is fit to take rank
with the death-bed utterances
of the greatest of the Union Captains
Grant. And they bear a striking re-
semblance-the words of this South
ern and Northern soldier.
At last the time has come, when our
orators may picture Southern valor,
our barls sing it. and all Americans
utter a hearty amen.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.

The New York correspondent Of the
New Orleans Times.D Democrat says
that the capitalists are forming a union
to resist to the last the demands Of the
Knights of Labor, and if necessary to
make themselves independent Of labor
unions of all kinds. He alleges that
Hoxie awaited himself of the support
Of the knights of Capital, and won the
fight in the Southwest against the
greatest strike ever started in this
country. He attributes the firm re-
fusal of the New York street railroads
to the backing extended by
capitalists and corporations, and points
to the fact that the Brooklyn sugar
refners are more defiant in their stand
against the strikers, than anyone has
yet been, as evidence, that a great
union of moneyed interests has been in
course of formation for many months.
1t is reported that Gould is the master
spirit of the Knights of Capital, and
that there will be no more concessions
made to combinations of strikers.
The Brooklyn sugar refners have
answered their striking laborers, that
they not only will not give the in
of wages asked, but they will
not take the strikers back, unless they
will work for less wages than they
were paid, when they ceased work
Thus the issue between capital and
labor grows. The unions have u1-
doubtedly taken positions that were
unwise, and demanded unreasonable
things; now the capitalists are COM
bining, which is a movement of the
most risky character.

THE CREVASSES,

The break just south of Austin on
the Mississippi will affect the Cold
Water, a tributary Of the Tallahatchie.
The water from the break finds its way
into the Cold Water through Beaver
Dam, Yazoo Pass and Muddy Bayou.
The Cold Water empties into the Tai
lahatchi6 about $50 miles above
Greenwood, which is at the junction
of the Tallahatchie and Yallabusha
rivers, which form the Yazoo. I'm
less the break is a very large one, it
will not affect the high lands on the
Yazoo and Tallahatchie at all seri-
ously, for there are immense areas of
low lands to be covered, and the Missis

STOCK RAISING.

1t is timely to say something on the
subject of stock raising again. We
have the authority of enc Of the most
successful stock raisers in Texas, that
there is 70 finer opening for the stock
business than in the section of coun-
try near Vicksburg. The gentleman
we refer to, went to Texas poor, and
he is now wealthy, and he made his
fortune in the stock business. His
Judgment, coupled as it is, with a
knowledge of the business and of this
section of country, from whence he
moved to Texas, ought to be VALUABLE.
He says that any well watered% country
with sufficient wood land and soil good
enough to grow grasses and cereals, is
a good stock country,
Many are deferred from going into
the business, because they think it re-
quires a good deal Of capital and is ex-
pensive to carry it on. Of course the
more capital one has to stock his lands
with, the sooner and larger the returns
will be, but the expense of carrying
on a stock farm is actually insig-
ni1icant compared to that incur
red on a cotton plantation.
Two men and two boys are all that are
required on a stock farm of two thou.
sand acres. Think of that, you cotton
planters who raise your hundreds of
bales of cotton, and then find you can
buy cotton cheaper than you can raise
it. Think of it, when you are using
every means to get hands, and strain
ing every nerve to get money to pay
them.
1t only requires about forty or fifty
acres of tillable land on a two
thousand acre stock farm, and
then the owner can raise horses, mules,
cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry to his
hearts content. All the capital need
ed is enough money to fence the farm
and the tillable land for corn, grass,
clover and rough food for the stock;
not an acre for cotton. If there is a
gin on the place, sell the machinery
and invest the proceeds in stock, and
utilize the building to make shelter
for the stock in winter. The occupa.
ton instead of being a con-
slant worry like cotton plant
ing, is healthful and pleasant.
The owner has but little to do beyond
horseback riding, and seeing that his
stock is properly cared for in cold
weather, and has good range in warm
weather. The profits, after they begin
to come in, are certain and satisfactory,
and the expense is trihing. The land,
instead of being worn out by exhaus-
tive crops, grows richer every year,
and few repairs of any kind are needed.
If we can only induce some
Of the owners of the old hills
and valleys in the rear of V~icksburg, to
reflect on the business and inform
themselves about it, we are sure, that
many of them will soon go into it. 1t
