Watter.on on the Tariff Tlnksrs.

Can any Democrat see this battle
end with protectionism IN complete pos
session Of the field, without amazement
and disgust? Can any Democrat fail
TO visit upon the authors Of this Infam-
ous surrender Of a great cause his ever
lasting contempt? =? When the incap-
ables and rascals whom we sent to
Washington, charged with q duty as
specific as words could make 1t, have
yielded all that the people won-when,
partly through lack Of sense and cour-
age, and partly through venality, they
have given up TO monopoly what was
meant for the masses-when they have
fed inglonously from a victorious field
leaving guns that we're shotted with the
cartridges Of truth to be spiked by an en-
emy We had driven before us-and when
bringing with them only the white feath-
ers Of the coward, or the black plumes
Of the mercenary, they come home for
their reward, what shall they encounter,
what have they a right TO look for, ex-
cept political damnatlon and death? 4?
The people should accept no eyasions
or excuses from any Of them. The man
who puts up poor mouth and says be
did the best he could is q fraud. He
could at least protest. The man who
equiyocates is either a mercenary or o
delinquent, and likelIer both, with pro-
tectionIse money IN hls pocket, and pro
tectionist promises m his ear.
In a world, if the people do not mean
TO abandon their right TO govern, and
the power TO make themselves felt
By those they put In Office, they will
sweep away the whole ships crew Of
them, visiting upon the silent equal
condemnation with the guilty. IL we
have a government of the people 1t is
time the fact was made manifest If
we have merely agovernment Of shams,
honey-combed with special privileges
which we are unable TO dislodge, let us
know it. If the people are slaves and
vassals-if the Democratic party is
merely the sport Of a few little lordlIngs
who have managed to sneak into Office
on false pretenses-let us know it. But

Sugar Cane ss q Hill Crop.


For the heye1lle.l
Many years since the writer sug.
gested the cultivation of ribbon
sugar cane in lieu of cotton as high
up as the mouth of the Arkansas
river, believing that it could be
made as paying as cotton, il not
more so. 1t grows as luxuriantly
that high up as anywhere between
New Orleans and the mouth of Red
river, and the danger from frost is
little II any greater. If so, provis-
ion could no doubt be made to meet
the difficulty. The cane natures
as high up as Coahoma county suf-
ficiently for all purposes. The only
trouble would be in protecting il
from frost after its maturity until il
can be ground up. This is annual
lv accomplished in this section in
the manufacture OF O better quality
Of molasses than can be bought in
New Orleans.
The writer remembers that in
1886 planters doubted the feasibili-
ty of cotton being profitably grown
higher than Vicksburg, but we now
know that the largest crops grown
have been above the mouth of the
Arkansas river.
The writer, few years since, cul-
tivated a small parcel of hill land
i'm ribbon cane and concluded that
the yield of molasses was as much
as 500 gallons per acre. A farmer
who has for years cultivated this
cane, was asked how much molas-
ses an acre of hill land would pro
duce. He said, by proper cultiva-
tion, 700 gallons. l think his esti-
mate too large, but / know it to be
a paying crop even on our poor
hills.
1t is we'll worth attention now
that the price OF cotton has fallen
so low. 1t requires less labor in
the cultivation than cotton and no
more than corn. One man with
two good mules and very little as
sistance could cultivate forty acres.
! do not suggest the manufacture oil
the juice into sugar. but simply into
moIasses, which can be done at
comparatively small expense for the
requisite machinery. This molas-
ses would be sought after both by
those engaged in the manufacture
of sugar and OF glucose molasses.
II the yield should be only 400 gal
Ions on hill lands ii would be a far
more paying crop than cotton.
On Red river capitalists are erect
ing central sugar houses in expecta-
ton of being furnished with cane
from the country adjacent, the rails
ing of cane being a separate indus
try from the manufacture Of sugar,
and the expectation being that the
planters will realize from $50 to $40
per acre for their cane. We arc
multiplying our oil mills T; Why not
form a company and get the re-
quired machinery to convert the
juice of this cane into molasses and
thus afford our farmers an oppor-
tunity TO diversity their crops ?
Give it trial and verify believe
it will prove as great a success as
the manufacture OF cotton seed oil.

Hail Storm.

1t has been many years since the
residents of Vicksburg witnessed
such a hail storm as that which
commenced at $50 p. m, yesterday.
Hail fell for twenty minutes, the
stones varying from the size OF the
smallest shot to almost an inch in
diameter. Fortunately the hail
was strictly local enterprise, as it
is learned that no hail was seen
south Of the Refuge mill, north OF
the national cemetery, nor east OF
the city limits.
Much damage was done to The
gardens, and the many beautiful
flowers that are found in all parts
of the city. Fruit and shade trees
in some places in the city were al
most stripped Of their leaves. 1t is
stated that a good rainfall visited
the greater part of the county, but
the bail was strictly a city matter.

The Annual Rainfall.

There Is always moro or less guess
work concerning the amount OF rain
that falls during any storm period.
Throughout the United States the ann
cunt that falls on any one day rarely
exceeds inch. There are certain por-
lions OF the globe, however, that are
frequently, and others only OCCASIONAL
ly, delugcd with water. On the south
ern slopes of the Himalaya mountains
at an altitude of 1900 feet 610 inches OF
rainfall have boon registered In a sim
glc year, OF which amount 147 inches
az feet 3 inches) fell In the month OF
June. AT meteorological station In
latitude 18 degrees, near the western
boundary of Hindoostan, the average
rainfall for The 15years ending with1895
was 254 inches. In the northwestern
part of England. al an altitude of 1900
feet, the average annual rainfall Is 148
inches, Ill inches In excess Of the mean
for St. Louis, which Is but 81 inches
and fraction.

May TO- 1924.

Jacksonville, May IA noiewos-
thy circumstance In connection with
the recent granting of postofiice 10
White City, ia Brevard county, Fla,
was tho refusal of the government Of
ficiaIs in Washington to call IL AThe
White City, the name given to tho
settlement by the colonists themselves,
now numbering about 700. Such a
thing had never been asked before, so
the records showed, and postmaster
general Bissell, who was personally ap-
pealed to in this case, declined 10 es-
tablish a precedent by granting an of
fetal use of the definite article in the
names of postoffices.
This name-The White City-had
been selected for two reasons. First,
In commemoration Of the Worlds Fair,
where Mr.. Louis Pio, the promoter,
did bis best work In raising bis coll
ony; and second, because the popula-
tion of the town is composed wholly
of white people. The company viii
not sell any land to negroes nor are
white purchasers permitted TO do so
hereafter; and no negroes are emplyed
In or about the city. All labor of cv-
cry description is doue by the colon
lists themselves, and IL is their boast
that they will build up n great city
without the employment of tho aid Of
negroes.
AT the start hundreds of negroes
discharged by the railroad contractors
after the completion of the East Coast
line applied for work, but they were
told that they were not wanted. The
experiment OF establishing a strictly
white community In one of the states
of the south will be watched with deep
interest all over the country.

Corn and Cotton.

A wagon passed up Crawford
street to-day laden with sacks OF
corn. and was destined for the coun.
try, the place where the corn ought
to grow. An Anchor Line boat is
coming down tomorrow with about
four thousand sacks of corn, and
a few thousand barrels of meal, as
we'll as a lot OF bran. Corn can be
raised successfully in this section I;
it is a sure crop, and it can be pro-
duced much cheaper than il can be
purchased. And yet under our sys-
tenn of farming, an insufficiency OF
corn is produced, and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars are sent TO the
west every year lnever TO return) TO
purchase corn and meal which
should be produced at home. The
Populite newspapers, and the Popu-
listically inclined Democratic news
papers, will say that the defeat Of
free and unlimited coinage OF
silver keeps us poor, and
keeps cotton at 8 cents. We
say let the south raise all the corn
and meat IL uses, and the people
will become rich even il cotton
should go down TO 4 cents.-Vicks-
burg Post.

the fact that in 1850 120, 900 acres
were under cultivation, which pro-

Is an advantage not offered by any other
