II 1t were all just and deserved
1t would be we'll enough, but a
great part of this money is
fraudulently expended-and in
creasing from year to year. As
many men actually draw pen
sions, it is said, as were enlisted
during the war,-and from this
it would seem that the loss OF
the North was comparatively
small. All the grand army men
are not paupers, and surely the

abundant as statistics would
have you believe. But this is

ducing the surplus.

Our people are seeing more
of the evils of using commercial

it will be used next season than
for many years. One of our
members who made the expert
ment of using no guano ON cot
ton along side of some on which
2uano was used, made the state
ment that if any man could tell
any difference between the cot
ION he would give him the fist
bale he picked. The sooner our

homemade fertilizers. the bet
ter for them and for the coun-
try. AS an example of wha t
can be done without comm ercial

to examine the country and learn what ar-

Of u large body of colored people from
North Carolina, has left for the southwest.
The members Of the committee say that
over sevcnty-cight thousand names of
those who will move have been enrolled,
n d that these have agreed to be ready to
start i'll forty-eight hours after notice has
been given, proyidedthe commission makes
n favorable report. It is said by
the committee that people in the
southwestern states have hold meetings,
composed of farmers, business men and
capitalists, who have appointed commit
tees to meet and confer with the North
Carolina commissioners and to offer such
Inducements as will direct the tide of I'M
migration in that direction. If the condi-
tions are favorable, and the committee
shall SO report, it Is thought by the COM
mittee that at least So. 900 will be moved
next fall. Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and
California seem to be making preparations
to increase their colored population ut the
expense of North Carolina.

D1REruL RESULTS FEARED.
Cl,icago's Flood Likely to Entail scriou.
COMSequ

Grave fears are entertained at Chicago
that the recent extensive fool may result
in sickness throughout the city. The
sewerage of Chicago ordinarily flows down
the Chicago river into Desplaines river
and thence into tho Illinois river. But so
gradual is the fall of these rivers south
ward to the divide that the enormous rain
fall Saturday night sturtcdthc flow upward
and into the lake. The filthy water of the
Chicago river is now within u very short
distance of the crib, where all Chicago's
water supply is taken into the tunnel,
whence it is pumped throughout the
city. The contaminated water is still
creeping toward the crib in spite of the
strong northeast wind. Mayor Cregier
and several officials made a tour of inspec-
ton and found the lake water almost
black for some distance out. A gray
streak could be distinctly seen almost to
the crib. There was still u current in the.
river flowing into the lake at the rate of
about two miles an hour, and a largo
amount of refuse matter accompanied the
river in its journey towards the source Of
Chicago's water supply. The bodies of
several dead dogs and cats were seen
floating leisurely under the Dearborn
street bridge, and q large amount of
garbage was also passing into the lake.
Every paper in the city Is sounding tho
alarm and the gravest apprehensions are
fn1t.

THE MILWAUKEE, ENcAMpMENr.

Department Commanders Make the Out
look Dubious by n Latc Action.
Department commanders of the G. A. r.
from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri,
Indiana, Michigan. Kansas and Nebraska
held another long session ut Chicago, de-
batting the stand they should take in
reference to the annual encampment. A
triple decision was reached: a. that the
posts represented indorse and accept the
manifesto issued July End, in which gem
eral attendance at the encampment was
discouraged if the railways did not recede
from their position; ~ that the manifesto
of July 2nd was in accord with the action
of the last national encampment at Col
umbus, as endorsed by resolution ON
pages 219 and 22O of the journal. 81
that sometime in the future the represent
tatives present will issue a circular that
will be signed by eight department COM
manders and possibly more, withdrawing
the departments represented, from the
parade advertised to take place. The de-
partment commander of Illinois says it
looks very much as though this action de-
stroys the chance of Il big meeting at Mill
waukee. The commanders present repre-
sent the states that would have furnished
the big crowd. If only the delegates go
from these states it virtually kills the en-
encampinent. The other commanders
practically indorse Martins sentiments.
