Senator Eustis as an Orator.


A Washington special of Feb. Essays:
The fame that Senator Eustis achieved
bv his speech against the force bill is
still expanding. The Eastern press
continues to comment upon it, and every
day the Senator is in receipt of some
new expression of popular appreciation.
In referring to this the New York
World says to-day: The greatest nat
ural orator in the Senate is Mr.. Eustis,
of Louisiana. He is big man physi-
cally and has full voice, and dellber-
alive, imposing style OF speech that is
very effective. At times his voice fills
the Senate chamber with its revebera-
tions, and again it falls to loud whis-
per-"
To which the Washington Critic re-
plies this afternoon: "SenatOr, Eustis
no doubt possesses many native gifts,
but we doubt if be can be called nat
ural orator in the sense which the ad
iective natural is generally employed
in this connection. He may have had
original qualifications, but Senator
Eustis is. above all things a scholarly
and cultivated man. He is an aumnus,
a student, a man of travel, of Observa
ton, and of great and varied literary
requirements. Superimp0sed upon the
rich layer OF natural ability there is a
graceful and impressive structure of
education and refinement not often to
he found in our public men. Senator
Eustis ia an even stronger orator in
French than in English. He is COM
pletely master of that language and its
literature. Whatever he may have been
originally-and nature was lavish in
its gifts-Senator Eustis is now the per-
fected product of high and elegant cnl-
ture, not the uncut diamond that the
World seems to think him."

The Alteration of Legislative Records.

We defy the Ants to state that in the
correction of the Journal by the Secre-
tary of the Senate there is one single
thing in that correction that did not ac-
tually occur. We defy any one to state
that the Secretary has inserted one sin
gle item in the corrected minutes that
is not true and strictly correct. IT this
be the fact, and if the Secretary only
followed the usage and custom OF the
Legislature, where is the ground of com
plant by the Antis? If the Ants want
the truth and nothing but the truth,
then they have it in the corrected jour
nails. But the truth is not what the
Ants want the truth is just what they
are afraid Of. The fact is that the Lot
terry amendment passed by IA two-thirds
vote of both branches of the Legisla-
ture, was signed by the propes officers,
and is, therefore. all that the constitu-
ton requires. This is the truth of the
matter in nut shell.-Pointe Coupee

Figures of the Appropriation Bill.

n O. Picayune
Washington. March 3.-[Special. J.
The session of congress about to close
will be considered remarkable for the
enormous appropriations which have
been made. The total cannot yet be
computed, but it will probably reach
's550,000,000, a sum largely in excess of
appropriations made by any congress
since the war. No one can say where
the money to meet these vast demands
upon the treasury is to come from
The Republicans do not care. Their
object has been to exhaust the surplus
revenues so as to prevent reduction IN
the tariff, and to force the Democrats to
maintain high taxes.
The following figures will give some
idea of how the appropriation bills have
grown in size. The agricultural! bill
since it was taken from the appropria
tions committee has grown from about
100000 per year to 100000. The mill
tary academy bill has grown from
100000 to 100000 and has gone as high
as 100000 since the transfer. The
Indian appropriation bill has grown
from 100000 to S1,500,000. The con
sular and diplomatic from about ST.
100000 to 81 $4,000. The post office bill
has grown from $53,000,0O0 to $77,00O,
900. The army appropriation bill has
grown $50O,00O. The naval appropria-
uion bill had about $14,000000 the last
year it was with the appropriations
committee, since then it has grown 10
more than $60,000,000.

Negro PostInasters.

n. o. TimeS-Dem0crat, March l.
The appointment of tho notorious ne
gro politician James Hill as postmaster
of Vicksburg has naturally aroused
great Indignation in Mississippi. Vicks-
burg is the largest city in the State, and
its pOstOttice of the greatest Importance,
and the President should have secured
some person better fitted for it rather
than negro politician of the Hill type.
No Federal official is thrown into
closer relations with the people than
the postmaster; and with none do all
classes, women as we'll as men, have
more business. In filling the position
of postmaster, therefore, q man should
be chosen who will prove unobjection-
able to all. Nineteentwentieths of the
business Of the Nicksburg office IS with
the white citizens Of that city ; and the
President must have known that the
appointment Of Hill was unpleasant and
offensive to all of them. He presents no
recommendation for the office, being
simply an agltatOr and a POLITICIAN
His only claim to anything is based on
the theory that he has great influence
with the negroes, but even this intiu
ence is exaggerated for he was badly
beaten for Congress in one of the black
est districts of the South at the last
election. He figures, however, quite
prominently in what remains of the Re-
publican party Of Mississippi and always
goes as 4 delegate to the Republican
National Convention, and this fact
probably explains the appointment, for
it assures Mr. Harrison the vote of Miss
iSsippi In the next convention. The
people of Vicksburg are insulted and
their business interests affected unfa-
vorably in order to aid Mr.. Harrison to
renominate himself or select the next
Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency.

N. 0. City Item: The fertile section
of Southwestern Louisiana does not
find much favor with the L. S. Engin-
eer Department.. Recently Capt. Fisk
had q preliminary survey made of Ba-
you Teche from st. Martinvile to the
Gulf, and recommended $4,000 to be ap-
propriated for detailed survey of this
stretch. But Gen. Comstock reported
that Bayou Teche was not worth i'm
proving, as he has also done in the
cases of Bayous Lafourche and Terre-
bonnie. The Chief of Engineers has APP
proved these unfavorable reports, and
there is little chance for the improve
ment of these bayous within a reasona-
bic future. Still the sections of land
traversed by them are of the most fer
tile on the face OF the globe, and if thus
properly drained and put into perma-
nent communication with their market,
would soon blossom like a rose and
produce enormous crops. But the En-
gineer Department is unhappily OF
different opinion. 1t might be added
SO are the railroad owners.

Baton Rouge Advocate: The New
Delta's tenderness of soul was not at
all stirred up by the recent disclosures
of the Royal street infamv. Its tears
and fortunes are responsive only when
somebody buys a lottery ticket. Then.
as Sam Jones says, it just gets I'D on
its hind legs and hOwls." While other
papers and the public were discussing
Royal street and its infamous methods
for debauching innocence, the Delta
n0sed around fOr an item more after its
own heart, and found it in the alleged
disappearance of an aged shoemaker
from a certain locality in the city,
where he had lately set up shop. The
old man worked at his trade, drank
whisky and bought an occasional lot
terry ticket. Suddenly he sold bis sew
ing machine, packed up his tools and
was non est 10 the neighborhood. With
blood curding suspicion and hair on
end, theDelta reporter jumped at the
conclusion that the old man had COM
mitted suicide, and that his occasional
purchase of a lottery ticket was the
only irritant that had driven him to
shake off bis mortal coil. The proba
bllltIes do not warrant the Delta's con-
illusions. 1t is far more likely-a thon-
sand or ten thousand chances to one
that the old man drew the capital prize
in the lottery and had abandoned bis
humble calling to bloom out as the pro-
prletor OF big shoe store down town.

Tarmervllle Gazette.
One of the greatest mistakes made ny
thousands of farmers throughout the
country is that they try to own ana cul-
tivate more land than they can properly
attend to, involving themselves tinan-
cially, and year by year getting deeper
and deeper iu debt until they are. hope
less bankrupts.
The prudent farmer, as well as the
prudent man in any other pursuit OF life,
will contract no debt that he does not
see way to meet when due. Let a
man be content with small farm until
it is paid for, and then gradually spread
out as his finances increase, always ex-
ercising the greatest care not to " bite
off more than he can chew" Such a
man will succeed when his neighbour
who runs on the credit system, trust ing
TO good fortune to pay his liabilities,
will fail and eventually become insol-
vent

The Farmers Reliance"

The Baton Rouge Advocate furnishes
this solid chunck of wisdom, bound up
in good common sense:
The North Louisiana Agricultural AS
ISOLATION, at its last meeting held in the
Agricultural Hall of Calhoun Expert
ment Station, discussed "the possibili-
ties of the sweet potato crop in North
Louisiana" An excellent subject.
There is much more hope of salvation
in potatoes than in politics for all who
want to escape the fate OF be ng" slaves,
meDials and paupers.H In fact, the
proud mans cOntumely and the OppT3ss-
or's wrong can never reach the man who
piles up potatoes in bis back yard until
it looks like the picture of an Ashantee
village in school geography. Appro-
DOS of this matter, the Advocate again
suggests the formation of a new organ
igation to be styled the Blue Ribbon
Farmers Reliance" The president
might be the DeSOtO farmer who made
1900 pounds of lint cotton on four acres
of land which was cleared over half a
century ago; the first vice president
might be the Claiborne parish farmer
who made sixteen bales of cotton and
other things too numerous to mention,
with bis own labor and the help of A.
wear old boy the State lecturer might
be the Bienville man who made crops
of about the same value, and his sub
iect should be, The lick it was done
with" The motto of the new order
might be: If yon would have your
wealth increase, the secret lies in elbow
grease" Nobody should be excluded
from membership. but the fellows who
sit on the fence and talk Alliance must
be received on probation only, with a
solemn promise on their part to stick to
peas and potatoes instead of politics as
a starter on the read to prosperity. The
new order will not antagonize the ALI
ance, but expects to break it up, root
aud branch, by the sheer force of good
example.
