Rice Crop, June Bulletin.

The outlook is most encouraging, aud
Judging from reports received, there is
likely to lee a very large crop, by far
exceeding any previously made. The
following is from Dan Talmage's Sons
Bulletin No. 2, Rice Crop 1899, issued
New York, 18th inst:
"Advices respecting the Rice Crop are
surprising beyond degree. Promises of
last month have been fully redeemed
aud greatly exceeded. The acreage al
ready in assures the largest crop ever
grown in the United States, and, under
ordinary favorable conditions, the out
come will be sufficient to meet home re-
quirements and furnish some fractional
amount for export. The culture has
been widely taken up by cotton plan
tiers who are free and independent in
monetary resources, and whenever
ban kers and merchants, who furnish
the latter, are OF any progressive dispo-
sitiOn. Every department, financial,
commercial and agricultural, seems to
have wakcncd up to the fact Cd that
the making OF investments, based on
the outcome OF single crop, partakes
too much of reckless gaming-the risk
ing of ones all on the cast of the die
(2) that safety aud prosperity can only
be assured by diversity of crops; (3)
that rice is among the best of crops,
safer than either cotton, sugar or tObac-
co, and taking the range of past five
years will realize in dollars and cents
double that of any other grain. So far
as we can learn little has been done in
Arkansas or in the upper half of Ala
bama and Mississippi. The missing To-
calities are at most likely to engage in
experimental culture this year, and tie
outcome unlmportant as bearing on the
general crop. Detailed reports note
that the crop in the Carolinas and Geor
gia are doing finely, having fully recov-
cred from the delay incident to cold
weather and drought of April and Nav,
In Louisiana there has been q phenO-
menal extension OF crop, and its weld
will be double that of all other States
combined. Florida, Alabama and Miss
issippi report satisfactory progress.
The former leads, and by artesian wells
has insured a full supply of moisture,
and will make crop spite the season.
Labor is reported as ample at nearly ali
points. Seeding is practically over
along the Atlantic Coast, but will con-
tinue in the extreme South until mid
July. Total acreage planted or prepar-
ed, 272. $50 acres. Estimated yield, o.
100000 busLels-treble amount grown
prior to, and double that of any year
since the war"

Extortion Il Chicago.

This time it is Chicago that is accused
of piling the prices up on such luckIess
delegates and visi .Ors to the Democratic
Convention as had not been shrewd
enough to arrange for their accomoda-
tons beforehand. At the Great North
erD Hotel, Il splendid new house lust
opened, looms were held at from $50 to
$25 day, without meals. The Penn
sylvania Heelers, who were lured by a
cheap excursion rate to come in force,
found themselves packed six in a room
at the Sherman House, and mulcted to
the tune of $3.50 a day. Tickets to the
Wigwam wcro held at $50 apiece, and
drinks everywhere cost 90 cents. Can't
we persuade a convention to come to
New Orleans IN. o. Picayune.

Political Points.

In Cape Colony the negroes are COM
ing into citizenship SO fast that the peo-
pie have raised the property qualitica
ton for voters from IS to rs pounds
sterling, and the voter must be able to
write his name and address clearly.
n. O. States: The multitude of Col.
K. n. Osden's friends in this city and
throughout the State arc enthused over
his election to the Circuit bench over
Judge McGloin, the present incumbent,
and whose greatest achievement, during
eight years on the bench, was the crea-
ton of the IIurrah Club.
If the coming presidential election
should by any chance be thrown into
Congress, tho Democrats being in the
elect Grover Cleveland. AS the Senate
votes for Vice President, and the Re-
pubicans are in majority, their votes
would DC cast for Whitelaw Reid.
The Republican nominees have al
ready been nicknamed i" Hat and Rat
Harrison is HAT" and Reid is "Rat.n
The former gets bis name because of a
peculiar hat worn by his grandfather,
while the latter was named rat' by
the printers, because his paper, the
Tribune, was for some time q nom
Union office.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson, of Blooming
ton. H., is the Democratic candidate
for ce-Presidcnt of the United States
lie was born in Christian county, KY,
Oct. 23, 1885. He has served two terms
in the lower house Of Congress. lIo was
First Assistant Postmaster General dur
ing the Cleveland administration.
N. @. States: The character of the
campaign that Great Britain is now en-
joyiug will no doubt cause tho English
people to cease criticizing the ones we
have in this country. Politics must be
hot in England when they hit the nose
of such man as Gladstone with bunk
of ginger cake, and pelt Joseph Cham
berain with rotten cabbage heads.
When Gen. Stevenson, the Vice Pres
idcntial nominee of the Democratic
party, was Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral under the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, he lost no time in chop
ping off the heads of Republican post
masters. and this fact prompts the New
York Sun to remark k: We love him
for the vacancies he has made.'
Mr. Cleveland told his friend Ander-
son that when he wrote his celebrated
tariff message he had but one man in
mind-the American farmer. Things
are now somewhat evened up. The
proceedings at Chicago showed conclu-
sively that in looking around for pres
Dental nominee the American farmer
had but one man in his mind-aDd that
man was Grover Observation-Disclosures

Mr.. Harrison stands more prominently
for the force bill than any man in the
Republican party. He was relentless in
his aim to fix it upon the people of the
South. We cannot close our eyes to the
fact that the force bill means race con-
tlicts in the South and condition of af-
fairs worse than even reconstruction
days. 1t is this mOnstrous measure that
menaces the South. We can have no
ADLER and stronger leader than Grover
Cleveland to wage war upon it.-Rich-
mond State, Dem.
St. Landry democrat., 1892-07-09

Everywhere in the Union, but more
particularly in the agricultural States,
which have felt the grievousness of the
burden, Cleveland's declaration that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation
is heartily accepted. The people have
grown weary of the Federal power in
the levy of taxes. They demand so de-
cided a reform that unjust burdens shall
be lifted from them, and they want all
schemes of taxation for a government
economically administered to fall
evenly in their operation, so that no
class 81 hall be special objects of govern
mental regard: The Democracy every
where in the Union has determined to
sink all differences of opinion and stand
heartily by the Democratic candidates.

We do not see any place in the CON-
ing campaign for sectional or race issues,
or for personal politics and villfication.
Taxation as involved in the tariff issue
and Capitalization as imbedded in the
force bill are vital questions, old as our
government, and in some form or other
embody the essence of political debate.
