You'd the passing exchange OF greetings on
such occasions. Nor has Mr.. West had
any social relations with any one connected
with this administration. In important
official matters the department has dealt
with other representatives of the British gov
eminent, as is we'll known. Mr.. West
has been regarded as friendly TO the
other party, certainly socially, and pre-
sumably politically. His warmest social re-
lations are with Senators Cameron and
Mitchell and their families, and his relations
with Gen. Harrison Wien the latter was on
the senate foreign relations committee were
most cordial The Camerons have been his
guests at the springs, and Miss Mitchell ac-
companied him and his daughters to Europe.
There has been nothing in common be ween
him and any one connected with this al
ministration. He has been given no more
than the coolest formal recog ition, and has
been almost ignored. There is reason to
believe, especially since Mr.. Cleveland's
retaliation message, that he regards
Mr.. Clevelaud's administration with
great antagonism. He is not fool
enough to have written that letter in

friendly, elected, and believe that British
interests would get better treatment from
him than such as is outlined in the Presi-
dents last message" AS proof of the differ
ence in the relations between Lord Sack
vile and the administration and Lord Sack
vile and the republican leaders, attention
is called to the fact that the dynamite

Lord Sackville's Intimacy With Har-

From The Me,u York Times.

From the Netg York Times.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-More than one
democrat in Washington believes that Lord
Sackville, the British minister. was not
wholly without guile when he permitted
himself to be used as a tool by the repub-
lican managers to divert the attention of
vot RS from the real issue Of the campaign.
1t is asserted by these democrats that the
British minister and the President have
never been on terms Of more than formal
friendship, and that the same Is true Of his
relations with Secretary of State Bayard
and other members Of the cabinet. A
democrat who is well-posted on the subject
is quoted by the Star tonight as saying:
"rnere has never been any cordiality be-
tween Mr.. West and the Secretary of State,
they never having been brought into con-
tact except in the most cold and formal
manner The President has never seen Mr..
West except on formal Official occasions,

Three years ago he drew q prize of
$50 in a Southern lottery. He
was happy industrious man be-
fore he won that prize. It ruined
him. He has sunk every dollar he
could borrow, beg or earn since
that luckless day in that same lot

hungry look in his eye. He has
only one object in his life. He
wants to draw the capital prize.
He is a lottery-maniac. If you
ever feel any symptoms of his dis
ease coming over you my boy. gel
down on your knees and pray fol
deliverance, and then hunt this mar
up and take another look at him

any indications of lottery maniac

The Terrible Cotton Worms

The Terrible Cotton Worms.
From the statements of several
we'll posted farmers we are as
sured that the "forerunners" OF the
cotton worms are now in our midst,
and that in from thirty to forty
days from this date they will be
eating cotton. This will throw
their operations and damage be-
yond the middle of August, and
all observation goes to show that
at least half an average crop is
made in this region by August 10th.
While it is probable they will cut
the crop materially short if not
checked by the use of poison. still
we are not disposed to give credit
to those fearful croakers who pre-
dict ruination and starvation fol
the entire community. We live il
la country too highly favored by
Providence to suffer any such dire
calamity. 1t has never been thu
lease in the recollection of the old
est inhabitant, nor do we believe i
will ever occur. True, those who
stake their all upon a single crol
of cotton, may expect frequentl.
to be put to straits on account o
shortage in the crop, but the intel
ligent farmer who diversifes hi
crops need never to fear an al
round failure.

End of the McEnery Land Con-
tract.
IN. O. Picayune.l

IN. o. Picayune.l
The famous John McEnery land
contract, established by act % of
1880, is now a thing of the past.
The Senate bill repeating this act
finally passed the House last night.
Under this act the Federal land
grant to the State of Louisiana
for tho purpose of leveeing and
draining has been largely diverted
to private ownership. The con-
tractor for performing merely NOM
inal work, which was the duty OF
the Register of the Land Office and
tho Attorney General, has come in
to the ownership of tens of thous-
andsof acres of the public domain,
and is now probably one of the
largest landh0lders In the world.
The abuses which grew out of this
contract, such as the issuance OF
scrip for 124c lands that could be
located on lands valued at Toe, and
the use of that scrip to intercept
money at the very door of the
treasury that had been sent there
by settlers, have been exposed In
the columns of the Picayune.
After eight years the law is final
w wiped from the statute books,
and the unjust division of State
property with an unnecessary con-
tractor has been brought to an end.
If the Legislature had done moth
ing moro than this it would moi
have sat in vain.

The Legislature adjourned at
midnight on Thursday, July 18th,
and Representative G. G. Dunn ar
rived in Colfax last Saturday on
his way home. He was in fine
health, and expressed himself as
pretty we'll satisfied with the action
of the Assembly, except in the
case of the failure to pass his bill
to abolish the extra judgeship in
this district, which he succeeded
in having passed by the House, but
| it was killed in the Senate, body
composed mainly of lawyers. He
thinks it is almost impossible to
have any Legislation looking to the
abolishment of fat places estab-
lishsd for lawyers, SO long as they
hold the balance of power to de-
eide such questions. As sentinel
1
on guard for tho people Mr.. Dunn
has made q good record, and his
acts will bear the closest scrutiny
We are pleased to note that in the
matter of drawing mileage, and in
his votes on all questions in which
the suspicion of jobbery lurksd
his integrity and honest endeavol
are plainly shown. From time t.
time we shall take occasion to par
ticularize some of the moro impor
tant measures passed during tn
late term of the Legislature.

A Diamond in the "Ruff."

A correspondent of the Boyce
Headlight, who revels in the eu-
phoneous nom de plume of "Ruff,"
and disports himself semi occa-
sionally in q quarter column OF To-
cal items from Paramount neigbor-
hood, has had his feathers little
ruffied because the CHRONICLE
failed to hear from and make note
of party nine miles distant from
this Office, and he gathers himself
together and delivers this query
and fearful suspicion:
81 would like to ask you question.
What is the matter with the Colfax
CHRoNIcLEf Ifear it has consumption
and is slowly wasting away. The news
part is, l know"
Ruff is afflicted with q malady
common to individuals of small ex-
perience. He imagines that the
public waits expectantly to hear
from his every movement, and that
many readers are disappointed
when his exploits are not related.
Now, we greatly fear that if he had
the conducting of the CHRONICLE.
and had to supply the mental pabu-
lum for seven or eight columns OF
a paper each week, instead of "dash-
ing off, a quarter column of squibs,
! in about six weeks he would be
gaping for an idea and give evil
dence of the same wasting away
that he discovers in this editor,
who has stood at his post, sick OF
we'll, nearly dozen years, and IN
all that time only failed to issue
the paper on its regular day of pub
LEGATION in three instances, and thai
at the time an epidemic was pre-
vailing in the land and paper wa
not to be had.
i Honestly, now, Ruff don't YOU
think it would be fairer and NOR
consistent in you to forward
batch of news items to your hom'
paper, than to be complaining o
our failure to note an, event o
which we were minus Invitation
and information? The home pa
per is pretty much what its patron
make it, and each individual shoul'
remember that he can contribut
; some item that may be of interes
to the general community. 1t
the aggregate of items that 60 t
make up an interesting newspaper
, and, while the country editor ger
orally fills the bill of ubiquity in
: fair measure, still his being every
I where and knowing everything de
: ponds a great deal more on th
communicativeness of friends an
acuuaintances than all else.
