WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON Feb. lord, 1Se

WASHINGTON Feb. lord, 1898.
An early extra session of the Fifty
third Congress now appears more Ger
tain at any time since Congress met.
Ex-Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, one of
the prominent democrats who were in
Washington last week, who is believ-
ed to enjoy the confidence of Presi-
dent elect Cleveland, said while here !:
eyes, think the chances of an extra
session are good, if not almost certain.
The silver law should be repealed. and
as it will not be done at the present
session, judging from this weeks at
tempt and failure, it must be done by
an extra session. The democratic
platform demands such repeal; a
general sentiment in this direction
pervades the democratic party; the
silver question was one of the main
issues of the last campaign; the party
stands pledged to it's repeal and it will
keep its pledges" Gov. Campbell
acknowledged that he could name
several of the coming cabinet, but
courteously declined to do so.
Senator Morgan introduced bill
this week that will simplify the pro-
ceedings should the present negotia-
tions result in the annexation of Ha-
waii. The bill provides that whenev-
er the United States shall acquire do
| minion over any foreign country or
place, by treaty Of annexation or
otherwise, the President, with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate, NAV
appoint governor and legislative
council for the same, whose acts shall
be subject to revision or repeal by
Congress. Mr.. Harrison has not yet
officially recognized the Hawaiian
commissioners, and their negotiations
are all with Secretary Foster. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Harrison, who is
| known to favor annexation, is waiting

intelligently on the matter when de-
| cision is reached by Mr.. Harrison.
The investigation of the money
spent in the United States BY the
| agents of the Panama Canal Compa-
ny, now being conducted by House
committee, has just gone far enough
to create a general demand for more
information. 1t has brought out the
fact that great deal more money was
spent in this country than the public
had any idea of, and that it was large
ly paid for secret services of some sort,
the receiver giving no voucher for
what he received. 1t is to be regret
ted that this Investigation was not
started earlier in the session, as it is
feared that there may not be time be-
tween this and the 4th of March, be-
yond which date the committee will
have no existence, to ascertain
the nam IS of those who received this
money. The reported sudden illness
which has been made the excuse for
ex-Secretary ThOmpson's not appear
ing before the committee, according to
promise, has been unfavorably COM
mented upon,bu Col. Fellows, chair
man of the committee, says he be-
lieves it is straight and that Thomp-

Representative Fithian, of Indiana:
Baker. Of Kansas, ard Lawson, of
Georgia, have united in sharp mi
norlty y-report against the bill provid-
ing for permanent Census bureau,
which has been favorably reported by
the House Census committee, Of which
they are members. 1t says, among
other things, that the present Census
Bureau is divided into twenty-five di-
visions, all but seven Of which should
be eliminated that many of the sta
tlstlcs taken under the last census are
merely Implications of reports made
by other bureaus of the Government;
that the Census Bureau has been en-
larged from time to time mere to Gre
ate offices and salaries than for leglti-
mate purposes; that consequently the
census has become a jumble of figures
and irrele1 ant inquiries filling vol
umes, which make their appearance
SO late that they ale only useful for
waste paper; and lastly, that the
maintainance of permanent Census
Bureau would be at least treble the
amount estimated-$2OO,OO0 year.
The House passed the Quarantine
bill this week, and it is now in the
hands of Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Morton looked as though he
really enjoyed presiding over the
joint session of the House and Senate
held Wednesday to count The electo-
raj votes and officially declare Cleve-
land and Stevenson elected President
and Vice President, and he probably
did. Most men would, in his place.
If the amendments to the pension
laws, which have been approved by a
majority of the House Appropriations
committee, become laws, the Pension
| Office will be transferred to the War
Department and be under the control
of detailed army officers, and the pay
ment of pensions will be stopped to
those having an income of as much as
5000 year; to widows who married
soldiers since 1870, and, except in
cases of total disability, to all alien
nOn-residents.

WINTER FLOWERS.
st. Landry Democrat MANY of the
flower gardens which adorn the homes
of our tasty citizens have for two
months been ablaze with the beauty
of the royal Camelia Japonica, not
withstanking the winters icy blasts,
and for the next two months they
will continue to bloom in the glory of
their varied hues.
THE LAWS DELAY.
Lake Providence Banner Democrat: ::
The administration of criminal justice
throughout the state needs simplifying
very much from the magistrates court
up to the supreme bench. The cir
cumlocution now existing retards mat
ters, is expensive, affords avenues of
escape for actual offenders and often
crlminally treats innocent persons.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
Plaquemlnes Protector: Hundreds
of dollars would annually be saved to
the parish of Plaquemines if the pow
ers of the justices of the peace we're
extended. In criminal cases, the JUS
tice of the peace sits merely as a COM
mitting magistrate with no powers to
punish offenders, not even in cases of
misdemeanor. Hundreds of petty cas-
es are thus committed to the district
court, the majority of which resulting
in acquittals and entailing heavy costs
to tax payers.
CENTRAL SUGAR FACTORIES.
Morgan City Advocate The estab-
lishment of central factories will in
crease the production of sugar by Civ
ing to the small farmer an incentive
to cultivate cane. Thousands of the
best lands in the state are lying idle
for want of energetic hands to till the
soil. The negroes, by whom the plan
tatlon work is now done, are not thrift
ty enough to become the possessors
of even small farms, and, consequent
ly, the work will devolve upon the
white farmers, who will be attracted
to the state by the new condition OF
affairs, which offers then, every in
ducement to locate and make their
homes within its limits.
RAISE YOUR OWN HOGS.
Baton Rouge Advocate With pork
at $50 a barrel, and sweet potatoes,
sorghum, chufas aud such like pro-
ducts raised at nominal expense,
our farmers can easily grow rich rails
ing pork. There is no danger, either,
OF the price of pork falling much be-
low these figures, as the removal of
the emburgo upon the American hog
by the German government has Great
ed demand for pork which will con-
sumo all our surplus pork for several
years to come. This is the day Of the
American hog, and the farmer who
wisely plans so as to have a few pigs
for market after providing for his own
wants, is the man who is going to sue
ceed.

BIG MILL STRIKE.
Seven Thousand People Throws
Out of Work.

Seven Thousand People Thrown
Out of Work.
PROVIDENCE. K. l., Oct. GA big
strike in the mills at Olneyvllle, a SUBJ.
urb of this city. was inaugurated this
morning. Probably 5000 people are out
of work. and the strike is growing
rapidly. Before it stops, unless all
signs fail, every woolen manufacturing
establishment in this state will close its
doors, and there is talk of cotton work.
erS Joining in the strike. There has
been dIScOntent ever since a notice was
posted III the mills last week of q reduce
tlon i'll wages, and several meetings of the
operatives were held and speeches of a.
nature to precipitate strike were made
by labor agitators. 1t was resolved to |
wait until this morning, when it was
understood that the scale OF prices was
to be posted, before taking definite ac-i
ton. The price list was posted this
morning. The weavers in the Taft and
Wedding mills held a convention in the
workroom, which sreSulted in their
leaving their looms and coming out on
strike. AS soon as they went out cry
was raised:
LET us go to Fletcher's mills" and
the crowd marched to the NATIONAL
Worsted mills. Here they Stationed
themselves in front of the mills, shout
ing "Come out" and the weayersi
promptly left their looms. The strikers
then proceeded to the other mills, bring
ing out all tbs men employed in the mills
of Charles Fletcher. The help IN the
Riverside mills have yielded, and every
woolen mill closed at noon. Seven
thousand people are idle in the little.
