Board of Control that j. G. Sessions
and r. Sessions, of Washington coun-

working convicts of Sunday and as
member Of the Board voted to cancel
the lease. The other two members
voted for the continuance of the lease.
Mr. McLaurin made personal inspec-

charge. The other two members did
not think so and the lease was contin-

Fifty years. observation
has shown me that no mild, open win

crop seriously damaged by worms, but
that the colder winters have been sue

crops.'

America upon these matters than this

that the structure over Big Bayou

MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL,
JACKSON, Miss, Feb 26, 1890 }
If there Is more practical legisla-
tor or better citizen in this communi-
ty, noted for able men: than Hon. III.
NJ. Street of Lauderdale county the
people are in blissful ignorance of the
fact. Mr.. Street is no untried tyro on
political affairs. Way back in the
early '70's and before, when black
heels were on white necks, he answer
ed to roll call in the House as the mem
Der from Prentiss county. Then 1t was
the willows were full of harps, and on
one occasion, late at night, having ex-
hausted every tactic known to the
parliamentary code-when an infa-
nous bill was about to become law by
bowling mob--Street boldly walked
down to the Clerks desk, snatched the
bill, then on its third reading, from
tho hands of the Clerk, and tearing It
to pieces, threw the fragments, with
scern and contempt, in the face of the
negro Speaker whose rulings against
Col. Streets points, well taken, had
been scandlOus. OF course reason
had given way to brutlsh beasts. In
the capital apes chattered and loath-
some reptiles crawled. Street was the
leader of that small Spartan band
who fought the alien and the African
then reveling in their wild saturnalla
at the expense of the then poverty
stricken people. Many a time when
oyerpowered by brute force has the
gallant steel-eyed Street been able to
check their spoliation of the treasury.
A regular pandemonium broke loose
from the indignant coons, but the bill
was as dead as If It had quietly immur-
ed in the tomb of the Capulets. AT
the risk of expulsion, or worse, the
lion-hearted Street had saved the peo-
pie.

Washington, March 1.-THE sub
committee of the House Committee on
Agriculture to which was referred the
Conger and BHtterworth bills for the
regulation of the manufacture of sub
stitutes for lard, imposing a tax and
license to be collected by the Internal
Revenue Bureau, favorable reported
the Conger bill to the full committee
to-day with few amendments Of the
language Of the bill.
There could be no palmer proof OF
the sectional character of the Republi-
can party than the passage Of the
Conger-Butterworth bill. In the pres
ent administration more than any
other the leyel of motive and ambition
is never above sectional feeling. The
Southern OIL men are busy procuring
petitions aud memorials, but the TINES
has no hope of the defeat of the bill
Ii is one of a list which has been
determined upon. Here the attention
of number of prominent negroes has
been directed to the grave injury
menaeed the laboring interests in the
Delta; and they will forward a
remonstrance. If the professions OF
the Republican party for the welfare OF
the negro were in reality more than a
drag net for their votes this might
serve. But the bill win be passed,
aud the Republican leaders depend on
Bruce, Lynch, Hill and other office
holding negroes, to blind their people
to this material injury by harping on
deprivation of their political rights.
The bill proposes to place such tax
on the cotton seed lard substitute that
il can no longer compete with hog
lard. 1t was proposed by the Demo-
Gratis to meet the ostensible object of
the bill by requiring the cotton seed
substitute to be labeled; But this
would not meet the real intent, the
protection Of Northern at the expense
of Southern interests; and the bill
atfixing prohibitive tax was insisted
upon. Sugar aud rice will be pounced
Oh too.
The Black Belt will be the chief suf-
ferer by this bill. In the white counties
there will be compensation, In the
diversion Of the seed to purposes OF
fertilization. On hill lands the best
profit in the seed is IN returning 1t to
the soil.

ST. Louis, March 13.-The latest adj
vices about the State treasury affairs
are that Noland's shortage in exact

Whereas, The proper instruction Of
youth in American history is generally

Gold Nuggets for Money.

A correspondent of the Albuquerque
Democrat, writing from Prescott, Ariz,
has the following to say of the mines and
miners of that district:
'''The mountain city beneath the stately
pines is rich in valleys for agriculture and
in gulches with placer gold. About five
hundred miners are at work on the Hasay-
amp and LYNX creeks. All these placer
diggings TO the greatest distance are tribu-
tary to Prescott, being only fifteen miles
from the town. They mine about four
months in the year, and make enough dur
ing the time to tide them over twelve
months Most all of them live in state of
bachelorhood. Some raise vegetables for
their own use, depending, however, on
buying nearly everything they use for
nuggets of gold. With the practice of a
little economy, these placer miners could
lay up from $1,000 to 81, 800 per year, but in
almost every case money is a hard thing
for them to keep. They work two or three
mouths, accumulate from $500 to $500 and
go to town. Not having family and none
to look after and guide them Alright, the few
hundred dollars saved I'D is deposited in
the banks of faro and stallion poker, and a
considerable amount gees for sheepherders'
delight, in small doses eft repeated. AT
present, the Val Verde copper mine and the
Congress mine are shipping sixty cars OF
ore per month, with an inexhaustible guam
THY of ore in sight New mines are open
ing up and ore shipments will be made from
a dozen good mines before the close of the
present year. Altogether the city of Pres
colt is faring very well, ard will continue

Trade in the East.

The merchandise imports are very heavy
for four weeks at New York, having ex-
ceeded last years by % per cent, or
S, 500, 600, and yet the months imports last
year were about ST., 100000. But exports
from New York for four weeks have been
g, 100000 less than last year, or nearly 8
per cent, and the months exports last
year from all ports were but So, 25S, 2l9.
These facts indicate very heavy excess of
imports for July. The cotton exports for
July have been about 1890 bales less than
last year, and exports of wheat and flour
have of late been checked by high prices,
but for the month show gain. Prices OF
commodities tend steadily upward, with
expectation of abundant money, and have
risen half of one per cent. during the
week, and this movement, if prolonged,
will tend to cause shipments of gold in
stead of products. At almost all the inter
Tor money markets, as in New York, the
rates have been moderate thus far and the
supply ample, however, and the complaints
Of slow collections, though a little more
frequent than of late, are comparatively
rare.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days,
as reported to R. G. Dun & Co., number,
for the United States, 157, and for Canada,
%, or total of 1S9, as compared with a total
of 1879 last week, and 2T0 the week previous
to the last. For the corresponding week OF
last year the figures were 30, representing
| 19l failures in the United States, and 10 in
| the Dominion of Canada.
