A Big Land Case Lost.

JACKSON, Miss, March 22-Chan-
cellor Conn has rendered decision in
the celebrated case of the State of
Mississippi vs. the Delta and Pine
Land company, involving the title to
about 49,, 900 acres of valuable land in
the pine section of the state. The
decree was issued In favor of the de-
PENDANT. These lands were patented
in 1851 to a great number Of persons,
who Immediately conveyed them TO
B. H. Evers, the Englishman. Sew
eral years later the lands were con-
veyed to Thomas Watson, of Chicago,
and subsequently to the Delta and
Pine Land company. The sales of
1881 were made under the law of 1881,
which prohibited any one person buy
ing more than 240 acres. The eonten-
ton was that this statute had
been violated, and under a special
statute of 1890, the attorney general
was instructed to bring suits to vacate
the patents. The decision leaves the
land in the hands of the Delta and
Pine Land company. The state has
appealed.

New ORLEANS, March %. - The
breach in the democratic party of the
state of Louisiana, caused by the 10 =
terry question, will be closed today.
1t will be the result of the popular
vote. Today's election is primary
agreed to between the two factions of
the party, to decide which ticket shall
be the regular democratic ticket in
the general state election. One ticket
is.headed by State Senator Murphy
J. Foster, who was leader of the anti
lottery cause in Louisiana, and the
other, by Ex-Governor s. ID. Nc
Emery, who is now on the supreme
bench. The defeated side today
pledges itself to support the victor
ious in the fight against the republic
cans. 1t is expected Foster will
carry the country, but estimates as
to his majority differ. The result
in the city of New Orleans
will be decisive. If McEnery's
anticipations of fifteen thousand ma.
iority are realized, he probably will
win. The vote in the city up to noon
is not as heavy as was expected.
Cloudy and warm weather prevails.

Farming Made Improbable

Gov. Mckinley, in his speech at
Beatrice, Neb., said: ssWhat the
farmers want are consumers and
the more consumers and fewer COM
petitors he has, the better" In
1880 there were 1870, 493 farmers
in the United States who produced
2,213, 4O2, 564 worth of farm pro
ducts. Of this amount 81, ,666,9 925
s61 was consumed at home, while
the remainder, s546, 476, ,7O3, had
to seek foreign market.
Gov. Mckinley, and every other
protectionist knows that this sur
plus was exchanged for commodi,
ties which, upon entrance into an
American port, had to pay penal
ty on the average of As per cent.
Every dollars worth of surplus of
farm products which are exchanged
for goods in foreign markets must
pay this penalty. In order to dis
courage the American farmer from
exchanging his surplus abroad, Mr..
Mckinley, by his bill, raised the
tax still higher upon what the farm
er needs. The tax was raised, the
penalty was increased, for the sole
purpose of limiting him to the home
market.
The protection idea is to make
foreign trade Improbable. 1t seeks
to so cripple the great agricultural
interests of the country, as to drive
labor from the farms to the city,
where it will enter into competition
with the labor in workshop and
factory. 1t cuts off the farmers
markets of the world, and under
this system the wealth of the coun-
try will gradually pass to the pos
session Of the few, as it did in En-
gland under the long reign of a high
tariff system.

ston, Bay and Davenport. Judge
Bright was planted in the door way
leading to the clerks Office, to be
handy if needed. About twenty
persons, Democrats and Republicans
occupied seats on the back benches.
The offices of auditor and recorder
were passed, no nominations being
made against Mr.. Armstrong and
Mr.. O'Hare. Judge Bright nomin-
ated Lew Wolf for commissioner,
saying in behalf of his candidate,
"He will make personal canvass. "
We do not know that Judge Bright
meant to say what his words ex-
press, but if he did, and Mr.. Wolfe
makes personal canvass, attacks
our candidate personally, he will
most likely wake up to the fact,
that hunting wolves means more
than to chase for sport, and he can
have hunt started pretty soon.
Gus Steinman was nominated for
Treasurer, and Eli Patton for In
firmary Director. The refusal of
the ring to nominate against Arm
strong and O'Hare is of course ad-
mission that these gentlemen are
capable, honest Democrats and can
not be defeated. The opposition
to Notertone, Kreig and Krinn is
not on political grounds. because
these gentlemen are not less Dem
ocratic than the others on our tick
ct, but the opposition must be in
fered to be based on grounds pure
ly personal. Messers Notestone,
Kreig and Krinn are to be attacked
personally. The issue is not to be
made in this presidential year on
the principles of the great parties.
1t is to be scramble for office and
three of our Democratic candidates
are to be special objects of attack.
Eli Patton, last year, was the peo-
Piles party candidate. Mr.. Sam
Taylor, Republican candidate for
Secretary of State, was present and
it is rumored, expressed bis views
to Messers Vickers and Pursell.
Secretary Davenport kindly, pat
ronizingly consented to Mr.. Mckay
taking a chair at corner of table.
