THE RICE SITUATION.

There could be hardly anything
more disappointing than the present
situation Of the rice market. In
the summer Of 1883 the immense
crop then In sight 20 depressed the
market that the millers combined to
secure each other In its pur-
chase, but the storm Of August.
1883, destroyed half the crop, and
good sound rice therefore brought
better prices.
We have now in sight the largest
crop since 1898. and prices have
fallen ruinously low. The frequent
rains Of June, July and August IA
vored the development Of the rice
crop immensely. and We have thus
far been eparcd any severe Septcm-
Der storm. We are therefore in
presence OF the largest rice crop
ever grown on Louisiana soil, and
the free receipts have forced the
market down until Carolina rough
rice, which constitutes the bulk Of
Of our crop, is quoted at 81 30 to
y 6 per barrel Of ls2 pounds for
firm dry rice. In other words good
sound rough rice Is selling at less
than one cent per pound in this
market, while western oats are sell.
Ing At II cents per pound, and Tex
~ oats at 1. cents per pound.
Pound for pound, rough rice con-
tains more nptriment than oats,
and Ill grain eating animals are
very fond OF rough rice, and II it
be fed to them In reasonable guam
titles It would seem to be . safe and
excellent food.
1t certainly seems absurd to
import oats from the West and Tex
q and for us to sell our own better
animal feed ut . less price. The
great rush Of nee to the market,
the quick coming glut, the Inability
Of our planters and merchants to
carry the crop, Is the old, old
story we have heard for years.
Louisiana does not produce rice
enough to supply the demand Of
United States for the whole year,
and rice that i now selling below
q will bring over 81 II held until
March, April or May, when the do
mestio crop shall be more nearly
exhausted BY the domestic consump-
ton. No market in the world can
OF viii supply us with rice at prices
We now slaughter our crop. and
those who wait until next spring
will be able t0 procure for their
rice the cost Of corresponding for
eign rice, plus the import duty on
rice. f.
TIE foolish scramble to force our
rice crop into the hands OF unwill-
ing buyers must cease ut once. The
present course Of our planters is
suicidal. There are fears express
ed OF the advent Of immense supplies
If rice from the CalcAsieu COUNTRY.
There b not much danger there.
The Western farmers who have come
to Louisiana to raise rice in Calca-
sieu don't get advances on their
crops before they are planted, and
Calcasieu rice will be sold to any
extent only when It pays . profit,
and much or more OF It will be held
back until the 81 limit is reached
Of passed. Hold your rice.-Lou-
isiana Planter.

This Is the soberest and most SEN
sible presidential campaign that this
country has witnessed since the
election Of james Monroe in the
era Of good feeling. The sobriety
and freedom from noisy excitement
with which the contest is conducted
are unmistakable evidences Of politi-
cal evolution and progress. The

TO INCREASE REVENUES.

Representative CatCniDgS Wants
tnc Morrill, Tariff Restored.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Mr. Catch
ings, the leading member Of the house
committee on rules, who is now in Wash
ington, is quoted in an interview as eX-
pressing the belief that the present con-
gre5s will do nothing to lessen the bur
dens of the incoming administration,
and that the new congress will be com
PEELED to take the necessary steps to in
crease revenues. He does not believe
that the revision of the tariff can be
successfully undertaken during a Spe-
cial session, but he does hold that in
special session the new congress might
properly repeal the Mckinley act, thus
restoring the old duties of 1883
That would wipe out the sugar bOunties.
effecting saving of S13,000,000 an
nualIy, and at the same time. by restOr
ing the sugar duties, add about $50, 0,000,-
600 to the annual revenues, making the
total increase of revenues approximate
sos 600, 900. This increase, he feels,
would prevent any deficiency until after
the next regular session. and possibly
for longer period.
Mr.. CatchingS would also pass the
separate ldlIn UlIlS IDdL Wtlo pdoScu
last session by the house, only to re
main unacted upon by the senate, and
he would also add lumber and salt to
the free list. The reduced prices of the
necessaries of life covered by these
bills would, according to his reasoning.
reconcile the people to the reimposition
of the sugar duties.
he favors an early special session of
congress-; thinks that Crisp will be re-
elected speaker without protracted
struggle; believes that the pension roll
could be revised with profit. Mr.. Catch
ings sees no danger of wildcat money in
the passage OF the bill to remove the
tax on state bank circulation, and fayor5
that bill if the states are Obliged to in
sure the soundness of their bank issues.
He also favors the admission as states
of Arizona and New Mexico, and local
governments for Utah and Oklahoma.
So far as this congress is concerned, he
thought it would do no more than pass
the regular annual appropriation bills.

SHORT OF MARINES.
Col. Haywood, the Commandant,
Asks for More Men.

Asks for More Men.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Col Charles
Heywood, commandant of marines, in
his annual report to the secretary of the
navy, urgently recommends that the
marine corps be increased in number.
He says that the present small force is
called upon for such varied employ
ment that it has been impossible TO
properly guard the gov ernment prop
erty at navy yards, and the men are
very much overworked, it being very
rare that they have better duty than
''dav on and day Off" while the men in
the army never have less than five
days off duty. The commandment says
that the recent disastrous fire in the
New York navy yard, which damaged
the Cincinnati's engines, WouIdlnot have
occurred if the number of marine senti-
nels had not been very much reduced in
order to guard Camp Low during the
cholera scare.
The commandant recommends that
the new army legislation relative to
desertions be extended to the marine
corps, and he urges that the condition
of the marine band, which is matter
of national pride, be classified and i'm
proved. In order to encourage the
marines to save money. it is suggested
that the naval act to provide for de-
posits of savings of seamen be extended
to the marine corps. An earnest plea
is made III the report for the issue of an
order assigning the marines to duty to
man the secondary batteries aboard
ship, which work they performed with
great proficiency until detached by an
order from the department.

clusions Are Right.

That Is, II Editor Shepard's Con
clusions Are Right.
New YORK, Nov. 23.-The Mail and
Express in long article this afternoon
says, in brief:
"There is a strong probability that
David B. Hill will not return to his seat
in the United States senate. If the de-
cision of the matter rested wholly with
him, there is no doubt that he would re-
sign shortly after the session OF the
legislature is begun in January. There
are many reasons for the action now
credited to Mr.. Hill. 1t is very we'll
known to many that it was
not the desire of Mr.. Hill to
90 to the United States senate as
successor to Mr.. Evarts. The legisla-
ture had such close majority at the
time of the senatorial election that there
was every probability the senatorship
would 90 to the highest bidder among
the candidates unless Hill, who was
then governor, would step in and take
it. 1t was partly to unite the members
of the party and to avoid scandal that
he accepted. Another important rea-
son, no doubt, rests largely in the fact
that Mr.. HIPS game in life is that of
politics. and it is his ambition to remain
as the leader of New York Democracy.
which he cannot do by remaining alto
gether in the senate and pursuing the
practice of law"

EXMoRE, Va, Nov. 23.-The train

party arrived here at 5:l1 o'clock this
morning, and Mr.. Cleveland, who trav-
eled in the private car OF General Su-
perintendent Kenney, of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington u Baltimore branch
of the Pennsylvania, started with his
companions on the journey to Hog Isl
and, his destination being the Broad
water club house. Shortly after the
train left Wilmington, between II and l
o'clock this morning. midnight lunca
was served for the party. People who
gathered around the car at Wilmington
station saw the president-elect seated
at the table.
When the train reached Harrington,
Del, party of Democrats returning
from jolifcation at Milford attempted
TO board the car, but were not permitted
to do so. At Laurel band which had
but shortly before arrived at the station
from the Milford celebration serenaded

show himself. AS the train approached
SeafOrd the party retired to rest. Inc

place was made without an incident.
An overland trip of ten miles was neces-
sary to reach the coast, and then came a
ten-mie trip by water to Hog Island or
Broadwater island, as its new owners
have named it. Here the president-elect
will be about as completely cut off from
the outside world as though he were in
Africa. and no boats can land thereupon
unless by the permission of the club.

her and the baby considerable good.
She said she did not know when the

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 90. = Con-
gresham Springer was asked today If
he favored a special session of congress,
and he said:
MY fayOring or not special session

one when the state of the treasury is IN
qured into after congress meets. 1t
may be that special session will be de-
srable, but the question will be closely
studied before any action is taken"
''Will you insist upon the passage OF
the tariff bills in the senate which you
introduced in the house, and which were
passed there?"
Il most certainly will, in order to
place the Republican senate on record"
''Do you think a commission would
answer the purpose Of special ses-
sion?''
81 do not. There is no need of com
mission. The necessary information
has been gathered already, so that if it
should be found not necessary to con-
yene special session a commission viii
not be desired"

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-J. S. Fillmore,
right guard in the Denver Athletic Foot
ball team, who is to referee the Thanks
giving football game between the CHI
cago Athletic club and the Boston Ath-
letic club, has arrived here. Mr.. Fill
more said today that he would not allow

trying to form aWestern Footballleague,
composed of teams from Denver, De-

The game played here last year be-
tween the Chcagos and Cornell uni
versity was characterized by much
roughness, and Mr.. Fillmore's state
ment as to how he will conduct the
game tomorrow was drawn out by a
reference to the manner in which that
game was conducted.
