IOdide of Potash

1t would be very difficult to prejudice
physician against the Use of Iodide OF
Potash. Every intelligent medical stu
dent know that Iodide of Potash is con-
sidered by every high authority, to be a
specific for severe blood diseases. The
only objection to its use in simple solu
ton, is that it deranges the stomach and
effects the kidneys. Certainly its pro-
lOnged Use in simple solution would do
more harm than good, and for this rea-
sOn many physicians recommend it TAX

Disorders which Affect the
Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes. Bright's disease, gravel and
other complaints of the urinary organs
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
but they may be averted by timely medi-
cation. A useful stimulant of the uri-
nary glands has ever been found in Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which not only affords the requisite sti-
mulus when they become inactive, but
increases their vigor and secretive pow
er. BY increasing the activity Of the
kidneys and bladder, this medicine has
the additional effect of expelling from
the blood impurities which it is the Pc
culiar Office of those of organs to elimi-
nate and pass off. The Bitters is also a
purifier and strengthened of the bowels,
an invigorant of the stomach. and a
matchless remedy for biliousness and
fever and ague. 1t counteracts ten
dency to premature decay. and sustains
and comforts the aged and infirm.

The Anti-Lottery Postal Act
Constitutional.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. This
morning the U. S. Supreme Court
unanimously upheld the Anti-Lot-
terry law of the last Congress as
constitutional. The writs of ha-
beas corpus, in the cases asked
for, have been refused. There
was no dissenting vote.
Chief Justice Fuller delivered
the decision, which was very brief
He stated that the court was un-
animous, and that the late Justice
Bradley had been engaged prepar-
ing the opinion of the court when
he died. Therefore he had been
directed to prepare short opin-
ion which sustained the constitu-
tionality of the law and denied all
writs asked for by Mr.. John Ra-
pier, of the Mobile Register, and
MIR. Geo. W. Dupre, of the New
Orleans States, ct ais.

which period of time will terminate Fe-
bruary 10th. Great preparations have
already been made to solemnize the reli.
giOus feast; but aside from this the
friends of the venerable priest have de-
termined to make festival in honor OF
him on the exact day that the anniyer-
sary OF his priesthood will occur, which
will be next Saturday night. st. Char
les Branch of the Catholic knights will
leave their Hall. corner of st. Bridget
and Green streets, aud march in a body
to the Church; the Thibodeaux Band will
no doubt accompany them. They have
issued Invitations to great number of
persons to participate in the procession,
and 1t is probable that the crowd that
will leave for the Church next Saturday
night will be immense. Every one
should endeavOr to be present in order
to swell, the crowd as much as possible,
so as to strongly emphasize the love aud

st. JOsrph's Hall, next to the Church
has been made ready for the fete in a
Mariner that is really very pretty. Above
the stage in front there are two flags
one with the stars and stripes, and an
other. the tri color of France placed in
an X shape. Between the x. on top, is
the word NOrces and below, Dor; on one
side is 1912 and on the other 1892, signi-
6cant Of lapse Of fifty years. On the
sides of the Hall. besides each window
being ornamented with a chaste and be-
coming curtain, there are silken ban
ners bearing different inscriptions in
Latin, The aisles of the Hall and also
the upper portion of the sides are fes-
TONED with evergreen: and a number Of
small U. 8. flags give patriotic and in
spiriting air to the rear of the building.
This beautiful decorative work was lone
by bevy of sweet girls. whose names
we would like tn give. but as we know
that some of them are extremely modest
about appearing In print. we will refrain
from 80 doing.
Saturday will really commemorate the
preceding fifty years In grand style.

The Cotton Planter.

Conventions have been held al
through the South to consider the
subject of reducing the cotton
acreage, and in addition to the ar
guments used efforts have been
made to bind planters to cut down
the acreage this spring. Mer-
chants at the large centers have
no doubt also given some advice
to their customers, and backed
that advice by notice that advances
OF money and supplies would be
curtailed.
All this is likely to have some
effect. but as The DELTA has be-
fore remarked, there are potent
elements at work to force the cot
ton planter forward on the line of
single staple culture. How far
these forces will continue to oper-
ate in the face of Z cent cotton re-
mains to be seen. They will not,
however, be wholly imperative,
and we fear that they will be felt
to considerable extent.
There will no doubt be some re-
duction in the acreage, but whe-
Their it will be sufficient to bring
about a more satisfactory state of
affairs in the market is doubtful.
With the present surplus hanging
over from two large crops to set
the cotton producer in a good pos
ition there ought to be a reduc-
ton of at least twenty per cent in
the number of acres planted in
1892. Not only change, but a
radical change, in the views of
cotton producers is necessary to |
restore prosperity to the cotton
States.
Half way measures will hardly |
affect the situation, and a relapse
into the present condition of over
production may be expected. In
ii the planter fully realizes that
l stage has been reached where
IN entirely new department must
De adopted the situation will not
permanently improve. A diver
'ion from ootton-growing to other
Industries must become a fixed po-
icy to insure permanent relief.
AS we have said before, the
PLANTER who expects to profit this
season by the action Of his neigh
DOR will be greatly deceived. The
cotton grower who calculates that
Ill his neighbors will plant less
md he will get the benefit of the
Improvement in prices, and there
ore put in every available acre
will, we think, miss the mark this
ear. The planter who devotes a
arge portion of his land to home
upplies will make the most mo-
Delta.

'Blue Jeans" had good house at the
Metropolitan Theater last night and de-
served it. It is the best of the sensation
plays that has been given here in many
years. The timber in it is as sound and
clean cut as the lumber that is run
through the genuine sawmill in the most
realistic scene that has ever been staged
here. There is not pasteboard or sham
about the scene shafting, belt wheels.
throW-ohs, engine betting, and a huge
steel saw, Whirling at great speed
and cutting pIanks without any de-
ceit or stage trick, make the scene one
OF the cleVerest ever produced here.
There is realistic barbecue scene also.
some very homely and faithful domestic
scenes, fine male quartet, of which the
audience could not hear enough q small
but wonderfully noisy brass band for it's
size, and election scenes that are capital.
The story IS rather involved but is of
sustained interest, melOdramaticS strongly.
but the comedy element far Oyerbajanccs
it. There is wit, humor, music and sem
Satlonaisn; song, dance, serenade, cam
palgn activity, pathos, Western dialect,
boorlShneSS and a lot of other things in
terwOven. 1t is play to please the gal
lery and amuse the circle: to cater to the
tastes that range from the melodramatic
to low comedy and farce. The company
is large, strong and clever The people
III 1t act with earnestness, sincerity and
vivacity quite unusual. 1t is very easy
to understand why the play has been
success. 1t is not on u high dramatic
level, but it is money-maker. 1t would
draw here for several nights, but the final
performance will be given this afternoon,
as the company leaves on an evening

a Large Crowd Witnessed the Exhi-
bitfon Last Evening.
There was a good attendance at the
Swimming Baths last evening to witness
the exhibition led by Professor Harmon,
the famous diver, assisted by Messrs.
Dolan and Manning and an Irish Arab, !"
Hneal descendant of Neptune himself
There were some very daring and in
teresting teats performed from the trapeze
by Professor Harmon, Dolan and Man
ming, and the Irish Neptune distinguished
himself by his conspicuous absence of
grace in attempting the trapeze.
The trapeZe WAS then removed and
some diving was indulged in from the
skylight. The Professor and his COM
panions dropped ..om the cone OF the
roof TO the tank below, going through va
rlous contoruOns IN mid-air, and striking
the water with grace, while Neptune
dropped from an equal hight and struck
the surface broadside first and fractured
the food in wonderful way and with a
duh thud."
The efforts of the performers were
heartily appreciated and applauded.
After the regular exhibition tat boy
from Fresno (or somewhere eIse) dropped
into the tank and raised the water several
inches, while Mrs. Moutmorency. with q
Santa Cruz wardrobe, exhibited consid-
cradle agility and adipose.
There were probably fifty persons in
the tank during the evening. and a great
deal Of fun and benefit was derived from
the sport.
