the task undertaken by the last
Congress, taking advantage of the
cholera then existing in Europe to
give its action greater countenance.
1t is then agreed that we have .
surfeit of foreign immigration. The
object of an immigration convention,
therefore, is to attract citizens from
other States, men with money, who
are willing not only to invest it in
lands but work besides. It may be
very cold in States to the north Of
us, their cereal crops may not be
very remunerative, but they are, at
least at home, not any poorer than
any Of our own planters, and in
order to get them here we must
offer them inducements, land al
most for nothing, low taxes, no
floods. good schools etc. We
can not expect them to come here
in anything like large numbers, il
we intend to make them pay q high
price for lands, high taxes, gener.
ally poor country public schools,
iron-clad lien laws, not to mention
many other little drawbacks not
now present to the mind. Neither
can we expect them to risk their
all behind some frail and lettering
levee, capable Of giving way ard
running them at any moment. The
fact that large numbers Of people
now in this city and State are with
out employment, that some are OBJ
jects of State charity, make all i'm
migration conventions completely
out Of order in Louisiana for the
time being"

A FUNNY MISTAKE.

Deacon Wood, Of Log City Pres
byterian Church, had sent of and
got a new hymn book for the con-
gregation, containing hymns and
notes. He had been supplying
them to the choir for seventy-fve
cents each.
One day Elder Cleveland had
finished his sermon, and just before
dismissing the congregation, he
arose and said: IAN you who
have children to baptize will please
to present them next Sunday"
Deacon Wood, who didn't hear
Elder Cleveland distinctly, and who
had an eye on selling his books,
and supposing the pastor was re-
ferring to them, Immediately arose
and said: "All who haven't, can
get all you want by calling on me,
at seventy-flve cents EACH"

The cotton plant, which has for
SO many centuries furnished part
of the population Of the globe with
clothing, seems to be almost without
limit in its usefulness, remarks q
scientific authority.
From the seed . valuable oil is
expressed, while the husks form an
article Of food for cattle in ehc
shape Of cakes. From the lint
which clings to the seed after it has
passed through the "gin" felt is
made, while the oil extracted from
the seed is applied to quite large
number of purposes. But, accord
ing to the British consul, Mr.. Por-
tai, Of Zanzibar, cotton seed is also
capable of yielding sugar. A pro-
cess has been discovered for ex-
tracing sugar from cotton seed
meal. and, though the details Of
this process have not been disclosed,
it is said that the product obtained
is Of . very superior grade, being
fifteen times sweeter. than cane
sugar, and twenty times more so
than sugar made from beets. This
indicates that sweetness is not due
to cane sugar, but to some other
chemical.

STILL LOWER COTTON.

The Lancashire strike Is over,
but cotton is not any higher. On
the contrary the bears came out in
increased force yesterday and the
prices went down. For weeks past
it has been said that the great Eng
lish strike was the only impeachment
in the way Of a better market, and
it seemed to be generally admitted
that when the army Of operators
went back to their spindles and
looms the situation would improve.
When the anti-option bill was under
discussion that was the bette noir
which prevented activity and bouy-
ance in the great staple. but the
death of that measure did not re.
lease the pressure and there was no
boom.
The truth is trade conditions have
been such that the markets cannot
he held up to higher figures, not
outstanding the crop. The parties
who sold first sold best, and those
who bulled cotton above 8 cents
have never got their money back.
Planting time is approaching and
there will come the usual stories Of
large acreage and great prospects
from the time the seed begins to
sprout. The two great American
crops Of 1891 and 1890, averaging
nearly 5000, 900 bales each, hang
like a pail over the spinners and
cause fear of the future. The sur.
plus stocks of raw cotton and cot
ton goods accumulated from these
crops have hung like q nightmare
over the market and are yet q dead
weight to carry. The worlds con-
sumptiye capacity cannot he brought
up TO any such figures for years to
come. The looms and spindles
could not handle it with q market
or the goods. The construction Of
new mills is necessarily slow and is
limited by the capacity of the ma
chine shops where the outfit for
these mills is produced.
These are the conditions which
the South has to face and q gener-
al recognition Of them is best for
all. To expect q return to paying
prices for the staple with anything
like the acreage Of 1890 and 1891
is the height of folly. Even the
acreage Of 1892, under favorable
conditions. would have produced
over seven and q half millions Of
bales, or upwards of a million of
bales in excess Of the actual yield.
Had the past season been q favora-
BILE one, therefore, the market
would have been lower than it is
and the prospects even less encour-
aging.
The Southern planter should
look these fact squarely in the face,
and act upon them. Let the cotton
acreage be even reduced below the
figures Of 1892, and the land put
into corn and other crops for home
use. That is the only safe policy
for the South to pursue for the next
two or three years. In the mean
time the surplus will have been
worked off and . healthy market
established.-New Orleans Delta.

Knight, city st~erographer of Newark,
with his 14.vear-old son, went out sailing
on lake Hopatcong on Saturday. When
opposite Norton's Point. and half a mile
from the shore, the boat was struck by a
gale. 1t capsized and sank. Knight
dived twice, the second time bringing the
boy to the surface, and started for the
shore. Both father and son became ex-
hausted, and despite the fathers efforts to
save him the lad was drowned. After
reaching the shore knight walked a mile
to his house, where he tainted. He is now
in a critical condition. The boys body has
not been recover1l;
