A Good Plan.

The immigration convention which
met in Shreveport last week, adopted a
resolution requesting the Police Juries
and the citizens of every parish of the
State. to appropriate and raise by sub
scriptions amounts necessary to make
Surveys and plats of the different
parishes, giving the quality of their soil
their location, the amount of acres for
sale, the price, term &C., the climate,
the water supply, wood and other infor-
nations which are necessary to attract the
attention of immigrants.
We suggest that a meeting OF the plan
ters and business of the parish be called
at specified time and that this matter
be fully discussed and some means be
adopted to raise enough funds to accom-
plish this end.
The time has come that we can no
longer wait and depend upon the supe-
riority our soil, we must be up to the
time, advertise and publish our resources
aud the result will be that the large
tracts of vacant and uncultivated lands
will be settled By class of industrious
and desirable immigrants.
Nature has favored us with innumera-
Bile advantages, and the only thing we
have to do is to let those who desire to
locate in the sunny south know what the
parish of st Martin is.

To the Editor of Messenger.
The news of the death of Emperor
William has been the cause Of much dis.
cussiOn in Diplomatic circles as to it's
effect on the European situation. The
sympathy of most Of the Foreign Minis
tiers seems to be with the Crown Prince
Frederick William. And there exists
much agitation on the prospect of an
early European war being precipitated
by the death of the Crown Prince which
may follow soon upon the death Of his
aged father. These Impressions. not Of
your correspondent, but Of the Diplomatic
service are given as sufflcint and carry
weight although not official and only
automatically expressed.
The German Minister, Baron Won Alv-
ensleben, formally rendered his letter Of
recall to the President last week. A din
ner had been arranged by the many
Diplomatic and official associates of the
retiring Minister the day before the En-.
perOr's death, but owing to his rumored
death the Minister felt constrained to re.
main away, and 80 the feasting had to
proceed without the guest.
Congress has begun an investigation
into the "trusts" which when formed by
many Of the manufacturing interests Of
the country to keep up the price of COM
mOdities. An investigation of the same
character has been in progress for some
time past by committee of the Legisla-
ture of New York but there the results
were very unsatisfactory. Congress has
made the inquiry national with the
view Of preventing such combinations
defeating the objects Of the proposed
tariff legislation.

He classed all Democrats as enemies to

much of the venom out of the Kansas

The st. Martinville Messenger makes
the statement that the land owners and
planters of this parish do not care much
about immigration or anything else.
Not single person who had large inter-
ests in uncultivated lands attended the
New Orleans Convention. Did we not
hear sometime ago that st. Martin parish
was interested in the opening of Bayou
Plaquemine or was that report of Capt.
King a myth?-N. o. Chronicle.
The report of Capt. King showed the
exact amount of business transacted in
this parish, and has clearly shown the
vast resources Of st. Martin, and the be-
nefit to be realized by the opening of
Bayou Plaquemne. Our citizens are
well aware of that fact, but still, they
take no action IN the matter and let
things run their natural course. Nature
has certainly been very generous to st.
Martin, but she will not open Bayou
Plaquemine, nor will she advertise and
publish to the world the advantages she
has so gracefully bestowed upon us.
The report of Capt. King was obtained
through the combined efforts of the Mes
senger and Police Jury. None of the
citizens of this parish who are largely
interested, took any active part in the
matter.

PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.

1t has reached theCAPITAL JOUR-
NAILS ears that the Hon. James G..
Fullerton of Roseburg, Senator elect
from Douglas county, is being
talked of as a legitimate and proper
candidate for the presiding officer of
the senate at its coming together
next month. The CAPITAL JOUR
NAL endorses this move and is con-
fident that no better selection can
be made. Mr.. Fullerton is II man
in the prime Of life, possessed of
good legal and educational training,
we'll versed in parliamentary usages,
has experience as presiding officer,
firm in his convictions OF right and
wrong-decorous and dignified in
his deportment-in fact possesses all
the essential qualities with none of
the defects to disqualify him for the
place. The writer has been person.
ally and intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Fullerton for years.-Knew
him as II soldier-boy, knew him rs Il
student, knew him as All officer,
knew him rs citizen and knew
him as friend. In all these years
and in all these places and callings
oflife we have always found him true
as steel. The senate will never re-
gret electing James c. Fullerton as
its presiding officer. Mr.. Fullerton
president Of the senate and Mr..
Geer speaker Of the house would be
the proper ticket.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

The laws now in force governing
the liquor trade of the state are very
crude and liberal to the saloon
element. they Were passed many
years ago and found defective. The
Ready bill was enacted and took
it's place for short time but being
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court of the state the old
law with all its defects again came
into power. Two years ago both
saloon men and Prohibitionists OPP
posed legislation and there was
nothing done. 1t seems to be gem
orally understood that the next leg
islature will be asked to do some
thing in the matter. AS 1t appears
that Oregon is not ripe for prom-
bltion II good stringent high license
law similar to the Ready law, can
and ought to be passed,
