Federal election laws has be- n inaugurated
in tile National House Of Representatives.,
|, NAV he well 10 consi Ter for a moment
precisely what is proposed to be accom-
pIi.bei BY the bill introduced for that pur-
pose aud whish 10 known ~ the Tucker re-
neal lill. The fifteenth amendment to the
G institution Of the United States, was adopt
ed March, 1870, and. by enfrsnchi'ing the
negro race, completed the great work OF
emsnri patton, in ausurated by President Lin
coins proclamation. The language of this
amend nent 10 ~ follows;
Sect. /. The right Of citizens Of the United
States TO vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States, or by any state.
on aecount of race, color. or previous con
di,ion Of servitnde.
Sect. Q. That Congress shall have power
To enforce this article BY appropriate legisla-
ton.
Il was. in the exercise of the power con
ferred by the second section Of this amend
msnt, that Congress In 1871, made laws to
insure the practical enforcement of this
amendment In all elections of national
character. This WAS emiuently wise and
Just. The evils Of = corrupt state election
are borne by its people alone, but the evils
OF Q corrupt national election fall upon all
the people of the country. Men are sent
10 Congress. not to legisiate for their re-
spectve states. bn, to leglslste for the
whole nation. It il therefore the right Of
the country in general to demand that the
elections of these men. shall be fair and
above beard, II they are not such then it iss
menace to Republican institutions to permit
,ach men to conduct the affairs of the nation.
In asiog the authority vested in
II by the fifteenth amendment, to
enact such laws A. were necessary
to give practical effect To that portion of
the constitution. Congress acted wisely and
wcll. The statutes PROV led for this worthy
purpose comprise the bulk Of what are known
~ the Federal election laws. and It is agaic st
them that the Tucker reresl bill i, directed.

If 1T is true as claimed that
Texas can raise cotton two cents a
pound cheaper than it can be
raised in the states on the east of
the Mississippi, there is no reason
why it should not be grown at a
profit at the present low prices. 1t
is claimed that the statistics show
that it costs two cents more a
pound to raise it in Georgia than
Texas. If then it can be raised in
that state for ten cents with profit
it can be raised here for eight
cents. 1t is certain that Georgia
can raise hell cheaper than Texas
can, but how it is about cotton is
not so easy Of demonstration.

THE cotton planters in this
country are spending considerably
less for plantation supplies this
season than ever before. They are
determined to get out of the
clutches of the factors, and are
living more economically them
selves and feeding their hands on
lower priced food than ever before.
AS a consequence they will be in
better position to hold their cot
ton for rise and to place the m
selves in better condition for inn
proving their plantations. The
farm hands are accepting the sit
uation and living on farm produce,
fish, rice and mOlasses. This new
departure marks an era in the
history of the southern cotton
grower in the Mississippi valley,
