! Mr.. Henry Rogers, a thrifty farmer
who lives in the third ward near the
Sabine river, gave us the gratifying
information last Monday that his sec
ton was improving. New farms
are being opened, aud the old ones
are being enlarged. This is a sparse
ly settled locality, one that offers
special inducements to home seekers
and men of the right stamp will be
gladly welcomed by the citizens.
The prospects in this parish for a
good fruit crop are said to be fiatter-
ing.
Mr.. John Il. Nash. keeper Of the
poor farm, told us Monday that there
were three paupers on the place at
that time, one of whom is white. All

Some of our farmers were forced to
plant corn the second time on account
of the bad stands, which was caused
by the ground being packed by
the last rains and the cold weather.
Mr.. Arthur Isgate informed us few
days since that his growing wheat
was looking well and gave promise of
a satisfactory yield. 1t is to be hoped
that the wheat crop this year in this
parish will be fair one. at least, TO
encourage its production hereafter. if
for no other reason. Democrat Jour

Being asked if there was any prob
ability that Canada would be peace
ably allowed to become an independ-

dependence may, in my opinion, be
had by Canada for the asking. Dur

Special Correspondence 90 The Progress
The senators in discussing the reso-
luton offered by Mr. Voorhees,, in
structing the cOmmittee on interstate
commerce to investigate and report
whether the recent decision Of Judge
Kicks, defining the rights of railway
companies and railway employees,
made it necessary to enact new laws
or repeal existing laws, ID order to
protect the laboring man in his in-
alienable rights ana to prevent his
becoming the victim Of corporation
greed, made it plain that there was a
wide difference in their opinion of the
meaning Of the decision in question
Senators Vorhecs and German agreed
in believing that it meant untOld dis
aster for the railr, ad employees whom
they think it places i'll the defence
less position of enlisted soldiers.
Senator Pfeffer, who claims not only
to represent the wage-earner, but to
be one himself, takes the opposite
view of the decision, whicht he re-
CARDS as the first step in new era in
the relations between labor and cor
poratioRs, and Que that is altogether
favorable to the9labor side. These
are the extremes. Other senator's
think the United States Supreme
Court, and not the Senate committee.
the proper tribunal to pass upon the
decision of Judge Kicks.
The plain talk Of number of SEN
ators upon several subjects this week
indicates that some of the senators
were in a bad lnnmor, probably be-
cause they are tired of the extra ses-
sion. The first explosion came when
two or three resolutions authorizing
Investigations during the
Summer that would necessarily in
volve some more or less pleasant |
trips for senators were offered. These
trips were characterized by several
senators as entirely useless and only |
gotten up to enable those VINO go to
have good time at public expense.
But the bitterest language was in
dulged in when the resolution propos-
ing an investigation of Senator
Roach was discussed in executive ses-
sion. A sensation was created by a
speech made by Senator Voorhees,. in
which he bitterly attacked Senator
Hear for insisting upon the investi-
CATION, and practically admitted that
Sentaor Roach was guilty, but
thought he should be let alone be-
,ause he had atoned for his crime by
living a correct life ever since he went
o Dakota. The Democratic caucus
inally decided that no investigation
hould be authorized at this session.
A friend OF President Clevelands
peaking about this Roach affair said:

Chief Justice Comegys forwarded his

Governor being away at the time, the

Secretary Of State, who will hand it to
Governor Reynolds.
The Chief Justice, in accepting with
such readiness the conditions proposed by
the General Assembly, has indicated his
general approval and appreciation of the
tenor of that proposal, 1t would be only
human nature on the part Of the retiring
Chief Justice to have preferred that the
full amount of his salary should have
been continued by the State which he has
30 well served but he recognizes clearly
and completely the position of members of
the Legislature, and that they have made
the annuity US liberal US their united iudg-
ment, after carefully considering the
matter, warranted them in doing; and,
knowing the whole people of Delaware rs
well as do their representatives in the
General Assembly, it may be confidently
believed that the venerable Chief Justice
lays off his official robes without anything
% disappointment IN his leave taking.
