THE CLAMOR FOR SUGAR BOUNTY.

During 1892 and 1893 the government
paid.out in bounties TO sugar growers
the sum of ST. .000. 900. of which $4,000
OOO went to the grower eff cane. south of
the Mason and Dixon line. The Wilson
bill ropos to continue this bounty. on
the principle of progressive repeal" un
til the year 1902.
But this does rot satisfy the clamors
OF the sugar planters OF Louisiana. Tex
as. Florida and Mississippi. in the least.
They lay claim to the possession OF an
implied contract with the government by
which their government bounty should
be more or less of a perpetual source OF
income.
These same bounty clamorers. at one
time in American history. maintained
that congress had DO power evento grant
a settler a homestead after he had earned
it by five years labar. They got Presi-
dent Buchanan to illuminate against the
Republican homestead act as unconsti-
tutional and fraught with danger to the
good morals of the republic. The Demo,
cracy of the Solid South defeated the
first five attempts Of the Republican
party to pass a homestead act. The
party to which these same planters be
long has Likewise declared the sugar
bounty unconstitutional and dishonest
The Democratic ways and means com
mittee has finally come to the conclus
ion, however, that it will not be unconsti
tutional to continue the sugar bounty
until 1902. And now the representatives
of four Democratic states, which receive
9l6,OOO.0OO Of the total Sl7.OOO.OW
granted under the bounty provisions. de
mand a perpetual encouragement" r %

be their cry if the proposition were made
to place a bounty on northern grown
wheat?-Minneapolis Tribune.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Washington Light Infantry
and Its Efforts for the Bazaar.

The Charleston Ne3Us and Courier
Of Sunday contained the following Tho
Richmond bazaar, as already stated in
the Ne,cs and Courier, is to be con-
Quoted for the purpose of raising funds
TO erect a monument TO the memory of
the Confederate dead resting in the sa-
cred ground of Hollywood cemetery.
Nearly one thousand noble Csrolinians
are buried there, surrounded by thou
sands OF their brothers from all parts OF
the ConfederRcy.
The whole South is interested in this
matter, and it is but meet that tho gal
liant old Washington Light Infantry,
who rendered such patriotic service to
the cause, should make her contribution
to the erection of this monument.
The members seem to have deter
mined to make as handsome a contribu-
ton as possible, and with this end en-
listed the support and. cooperation OF
their numerous lady friends. Each
member of the command was consti-
tuted committee of one to look after
these matters, and Immediately friend
II rivalry sprang up amongst all the
committees. These contributions, it is
needless to say, consisted Of all kinds
of beautiful and dainty articles
OF fancy 6rjc-a-6rac, paintings (both
by the needle and the brush), jars OF
pickles, preserves, etc. too numerous to
mention.
One very susceptible member who was
entrusted with q very handsome dona-
ton, rendered hundredfold more pre-
cious because of the " dear hands that
made it. thought no one in Richmond
nor anywhere else could possibly appre-
ciate the artistic work as much as he did,
refused to deliver it, and it was with
some difficulty that the committee
wrenched tho precious burden from him
and impressed upon his mind the fact
that it was not for him, but for the sacred
memory of the Confederacy that the
,"dear hands" had labored.
Yesterday the first shipment by the
W. l.. l. was made, but as the fair Will
last three weeks many who have not
contributed may yet do 80.
The special committee charged with
these duties are: Captain julius i.
Cogswell, Adiutant A. L.. Bristol. Lieu
tenant G. st. @. Kirk, ex-Lieutenant j.
p. Strohecker, and Sergeant IL. G.
Schirmer. All articles sent to any OF
these gentlemen will be promptly for
warded.
The w. T.. l. Veterans hold their an
nual meeting tomorrow evening at
their armory. This was the date for
the last regular drill OF Company b,
but the Young gentlemen Of Company
b, who are always pleased TO take
second place to the war veterans, post
poned their final drill TO the Goth in
slant.
The annual prize drill will be held on
the 9th Of May next.
The handsome painting "The Last
Battle-F Flag OF Fort SUMTER" now on
exhibition at s. Thomas. Jr. + Brothers,
will be shipped to Richmond tomorrow.

ing. There were seven cases against

PROFITABLE SEASON.
Notwithstanding the terrible winter,
the oyster business on Chincoteague
Island during the past season has boeh
moro profitable than for many years
past, and consequently the people here
are prosperous and contented.
The ponies which abound in this and
the adjacent islands passed through the
winter without any other food than the
grass on the salt marshes and without
any other shelter than the pine thickets
on the sand ridges. Strange to say, none
Of them died during the long cold spell,
and they now look as well as they have
ever done at this season of the year.
PErJGrOI-s FASATTCS
The northern part Of Chincoteague
Island is now occupied by a colony OF
religious fanatics from Sussex county,
Delaware, who have nothing TO do with
the other people on the island and
whose peculiar manners and customs
present a curious combination. suggest
ing a combination OF the negro and Nor
mon religions. They have built q
church, where they have services nearly
every night. Their meetings are kept
ND till o late hour and their proceedings
are very boisterous. They have their
own minister claim to be sanctified, and
say all who are not sanctified will be
lost
