enforcement Of Contracts.

A correspondent Of the Jackson
ClarioH complains that the legisla-
ture Is doing nothing for the enforce
ment OF contracts between agricuI-
tural laborers and their employer.
tie thinks that laws should be pass
I'd "tending TO make the laborer re-
gard his contract and stop this inn
mense locomotion among them at
the end Of each year."
Desirable as il is to compel an hon
est fulfilment Of obligations on both
sides, this, so far as the laborer Is
concerned, is one of the things that
laws c,ln not do. A man who owns
neither house nor land nor cattle
nor hOrses-nothing, in short, but
the clothes on his back-is invulner-
able against laws of this kind. Hav-
ing no property TO be forfeited, the
law can not punish him except by
imprisonment, remedy worse than
the evil it wo | ! aim TO cure. Peo-
pie in favor of such measures would
have their ideas greatly cleared up
by trying to calculate the number Of
additional jails that each county
would have to build for the contract
breakers.
Nor could the severest legislation
accomplish its purpose. The harsh
er the laws the more futile they
would be, resulting only in driving
the laborers 10 other states where
their personal freedom would not
thus be interfered with. The shift
ing about Of the laborers, and their
unfmthfulness to contracts is an evil
and a grave one, but the Legislature
can do little to remedy il.

The Lottery Yields.

Jno. A. Morris, Of the Louisiana
Lottery Company, last Wednesday
published a letter to the people Of
that state Withdrawing the PROPOSE
tion for constitutional amendment
extending The privileg' Of the COM
pany fora period Of twenty-five years.
He says that even should the amend
ment be adopted at the April cleo
ton, the company would not accept
it or qualify under it.
It was probably the anti-lottery
postal law, and the recent affirmation
Of its constitutionality by the su-
preme court, that led the company
to its decision, though Mr.. Norris
has much to say about the patriotic
motives that inspired hun and his
associates. "Our Offer" he graFely
declares, "was prompted as much by
a desire TO benefit the people OF Louis
lana, as by the prospect Of profit to
ourselves"
This is doubtless the end Of the
lottery business in Louisiana. The
present charter has still three or four
years TO run, but, crippled by the
postal regulations, II is not impossi-
ble that the company may withdraw
from business before the end even Of
that time.
The people Of Louisiana are to be
congratulated on this quiet suuen-
der Of the gigantic gambling concern
that cursed their state. It has split
the democratic party there, and
aroused the most bitter hatred be-
tween the opposing factions I; but
with the cause of strife removed,
harmony will soon be restored.

Capt. Walker last week received
from his brother, who lives in Aus
tralia, some seeds Of a species Of pas
sion-fower native 10 that country.
This plant yields a fruit described as
being similar to a plum in shape,
having tough, purple skin, anil fill-
ed with seeds covered with q yellow
ish, transparent pulp Of an agreea-
bic odor and flavor. As one variety
of the passion-flower commonly
called the Maypop) grows wild in
Claiborne county, it is believed the
Australian variety also viii do we'll

the seeds among bis friends for
planting, and the result will be re-

is said to be, the captain intimatcs
that he will engage in cultivating
it on large scale for the north

One thing made clear by the
Chilian quarrel is the worse than
folly of our policy Of creating a
great war-navy. Our naval officers.
anxious for battle and glory, urged
on the war spirit which, but for the
abject submission OF the Chilians,
would have brought ON a conflict
with that little power. And the
larger our navy grows, the greater
viii be the danger of its entangling
us in foreign war. No power on
earth has anything to gain By nt-
tacking this country. None will be
insane enough to do it unless abso-
lutely goaded TO that step by in
suits and injuries at our hands.
War-ships are dangerous toys in
the hands of the demagogues who
rule our country, and the fewer OF
them we build The better for our
own welfare.

The recent discontinuance Of Muir
rays Magazine, an English publica
ton, moved an American writer tC
the complacent remark that that fact
indicated the supremacy which the
great American monthlies have Sc.
cured in England among persons
who really want good reading.
WhereupOn another English mag
azine briefly stated the truth in these
words:
Murray's Magazine was at least as
we'll written as the Century and Har-
per's, the only American magazines
that really compete with our lighter
periodical literature. English peo-
pie who "want good reading' find it
In the Nineteenth Century, the Fort
nightly, the Contemporary, and in a
number Of the cheaper magazines,
the Century and Harpers being re-
garded by them merely as good pic
ture-books.
In point Of literary merit there is,
in fact, no rivalry between the great
British reviews and American mag
azines. The former are so immense
ly superior not only in graces Of style,
but in the talent and scholarshipdis-
played in their pages, Jas TO make all
question Of comparison idle. Our
magazines are in the habit of solicit
ing articles from politicians like Mills
and Morgan and Carlisle and Spring
er. who, while able men in their way,
and sensible writers, have no special
literary faculty or gift of expression.
These discussions OF current polit-
ical topics give TO our magazines a
journalistic character which pleases
the ordinary reader, but I'M
questionably detracts from their Int
erary excellence.

Collector of Customs Jere Sullivan of
Benton, arrived from the boundary
Sunday evening and returned to the

He has recently received instructions
from the treasury department to appoint
four additional mounted inspectors to
assist in protecting Uncle Sans inter
ests along the border. He is consider
ing the applications sent 10 and will act
on the same shortly. The position will
be no sinecure as it will mean frequent
long and tiresome rides id all kinds Of
weather and some experience in detcc-

The collector has over 800 miles of
border under his care reaching from the
eastern confines of Montana to the west

ors to be appointed will make eight in
