The strangest comment made upon
the result Of the silver contest in the
House was by Judge Culberson, of
Texas. The Judge shared with Mr..
Bland the honor of leadership 70 de-
feat. He is the sblest lawyer on the
Democratic side, man ponderous of
frame and deliberate of speech. When
1t was sll over Judge Culberson slow
ly said:
"A lot Of free niggers could have
done better than we did"
That was all he said. But what did
he mean? The force of the compari-
son Il involved in mystery. Con-
grcssmen "born and raised in the
South" have twisted the Judges
words in this way and that without
satisfactory explanations. Why did
he say "free niggersI" Why not just
"inggsrs" slsne5 That is the question.
Everybody who knows Judge Culber-
son 10 satisfied that the qualifying
word was used purposely. The Judge
il man who wastes no words. And
so the saying must stand just as it
was uttered.

these before, spent only a few minutes
here.
Enroute to the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building passed through
the beautiful Administration building,
the tallest and one Of the prettiest on
the grounds; herein are the Offices OF
the Fair, police, fire department, etc
This building is 25O feet high, and its
guided dome can be seen many miles
away. The manufactures building is
by far the largest building the world
ever produced, covering over thirty
one acres of ground. AS its name
implies, productions OF manufacture
and liberal arts fill this immense
structure, and many nationalities are
herein represented. 1t would require
weeks to see all of its exhibits, end q
large book to describe same We on
ly saw a little, enough to make us
wish we could stay the fair out, to
see more and more, Took the ele-
vaJor and assembled 200 feet to roof,
where a narrow walk around the
roof a half mile, gave us a fine view
of the White City and It's thousands
Of sight.seers,
Last night we visited the cleo
tricity building, large and beau
tifvl edifce, containing 10000 large
panes of glass, or more than in any
ofthe other buildings. A great statue
of Benjamin Franklin stands in front
OF the entrance to this building. 1t
contains everything SO far discovered
in electricity, from the beginning of
inventive genius to the present time.
Lights of every shade of color, and
changeable, form many beautiful fig
ures, etc. When we think Of the
wonderful inventions shown herein,
our mind can hardly comprehend their
wonder and magnitude. Saw the te-
lantograph at work; this latest inyen-
ton reproduces, in fac slmile, any
body's handwriting, hundreds or
thousands of miles away and ere long

We can simply say, it was well worth
the twenty minutes spent in seeing

TO BE RIaIDLY ENFORCED.
The Enforcement of Chinese Exclu
aion---Law Causes much
Uneasinees.

From tho tenor Of recent advices
from Washington, there appears to be
little if any doubt that the present ad-
ministration intends to enforce the
Geary Chinese exclusion law, and in
case the law is rigidly enforced Yang
Yu, the new Chinese minister to this
country will, it is said, withdraw and
return to China. t
For the past several days this of
fetal has been beseiged with kilograms
from Chinese subjects throughout tho
country asking for a verifcation Of
the report that President Cleveland
and cabinet had decided to pnt tho
Geary law into effect. The Chinese
Six Companies In San Francisco have
been in tolegraphic communication
with him ever since his arrival In
Washington.
The sttorney-general, 1t ia stated,
will instruct United States marshall
to enforce the law and bring every
unregistered Chinaman in their dis
tricts to designated ports for depor-
tation.
Solicitor Reeve, Of the treasury de-
partment, says: There is no disposi-
tton on the part Ofany officer of the
government to shirk ths execution Of
the provisions Of tho Geary act. A
circular will be issued by the treasury
department to inspection officers, di-
recting them to comply with the pro-
visions of the G6aty act to the extent
Of the funds appropriated. These
funds are inadequate for the enforce
ment of the law and will not hold out
for great while. When they are eI-
hausted the responsibility will rest
not with the custom officers, but with
Congress itself.

ARKANSAS SENATOR TALKS
Hon. Jas. K. Jones Distinguishes
Himself by an Able Effort.

1t is generally conceded among the
members of both Houses of the Ma
tlonal Congress that the feature Of
Saturdays session in the Senate was
the speech delivered by Hon. James
X. Jones, of Arkansas. Mr.. Jones is
one Of the strong men in the Senate.
He was q member Of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House before
he was transferred to the other end OF
the Capitol.
In his Saturdays speech the Sena-
tor declared himself in favor of the
free coinage of silver and against the
repeal of the Sherman law.
Many strong speeches have been
made IN the Senate during the pres-
ent debate, and it is striking fact
that the speeches which attracted the
most attention were delivered by
what are known as silent members;
that is, men who do not constantly
bore the Senate by talking. Take, for
instance, the speech made by Dir.
Walthall, OF Mississippi. 1t is tho
opinion of the Senators who heard 1t
that it was one of the strongest and
ablest arguments made in the Senate
during its whole history on q financial
question. Senator Jones came up to
the same level. His speech was pre-
pared. lie had it in typewriter copy
and confined himself very closely to
his sheets of paper. His speech was
strong, vehement and aggressive. He
held the attention of the Senate and
of the crowded galleries as long as he
talked, and when the conclusion was
reached he was complimented by both
sides of the chamber on tho success OF
his effort.
Addressing himself to the present
financial situation and speaking d.
rectly to the point Mr.. Jones spoke,
in part, as follows:
lie did not believe, he said, that tho
present condition of the country was
brought about by the Sherman act,
and it would pass away without Tho
repeal of that act. On the contrary,
the limited coinage of silver had act
ed as measure of relief in the finan-
cial stringency. The stringency was
caused by the wealthy few, and it re-
mained to be seen whether the repre-
sentatives of 65,000,000 free people
would submit to their insolent domis
nation. He stood ready, he said, to
repeal the whole of the Sherman act,
but he would not, in pretended COM
pliance with the Chicago platform,
which demanded the repeal OF tho en-
tire law, vote to repeal the only good
feature of the law, leaving its iniqui-
ties in full force. That would be q
more cowardly makeshift than the
Sherman law, and it would be as
great a fraud as was the action Of
1873.

Mexican Ladies' Typical Orchestra

Mexican Ladies' Typical Orchestra.
Thoroughly sppreciative audience
enjoyed the really artistic perform
snce Of the Mexican Lady Typical Or
chestra last night. The music of the
land of the Montezumas has peculiar
charm, when well rendered, under
any conditions, when the rendition is
by natives of that land aud moreover,
by ladies, the charm is tenfold in
creased. The waltzes, the polkas,
schottische, the mazurka and consort-
ed pieces make up the programme,
with several duets, and the audience
would have had all repeated had the
encorss been responded to.
Tho orchestra Is composed of 18
MexiRn ladies, who perform on three
violins, flute, either, harpe, base violin,
yiolincell0, guitars and mandolins,
and all without note of written mn
sic.
The ladies dress in the national col
ors Of Me1ico-red, white and green
--and with their black tresses and
clear elive compilations, made pret-
ty tsblcau in their pyramid seating.
Tho solos were marvelonSly sweet
and received a need of applause. The
echo effects which are freely INDUCED
in--the dolce far niente effect, as one
critic was heard to remark-add
greatly to the charms Of the music,
which no description can give justice
to. Among the musical people who
go into raptures over the perform
nnce are Mr.. Cliff Grunewald and
Madane Goldberg, who say that eve
.ry man, woman and child should see

IT PAYS.

The Morgan City Advocate re-
ports that Mr.. Jacques Lehman is
that the steam capacity of
his canning factory is not sufficient
to meet the demands made upon it by
the large orders that are pouring in.
His first shipment was for Tyler,
Texas. New Orleans will receive
ago cases; = carload is ordered for
Galveston, and 500 cases are billed
for California.
This reminds the writer of an in
cident occurring in Houston, Texas,
about eighteen months ago. Seeing
= pile of boxes canned vegetables in
front of = grocery store, he noticed
the shippers brand read: ~"
Rienzi, Miss" and the thought at
once occurred to him, If some far of
factory could can and ship those
goods to Texas, why could not south
west Louisiana, where the lands are
SO we'll adapted to the cultivation of
all kinds of vegetables? His curios-
ity being aroused, he started out to
ascertain, and did, where is. and
what kind of a place was Rienzi. II
is q small town of about 400 people
situated in the extreme northern part
of the State. This factory is oper'
ated by . family Of seven, who must
can many boxes to ship rs far South
as Texas.
We learnt further that these peo'
pie had induced the small neigh
boring farmers to abandon cotton
and cultivate vegetables. Instead Of
reali.ing about $14 an acre as for
| merly, they saw their lands bring
them over SIS an acre with less labor
The result has been that the factory
people are making money, and th'
farmers are making money. Ant
all are contended.
Now, there is NO good reason un
der the sun Why \ factory right her

some returns.
