Central Louisiana has received a large immigration from the North and West and in fact all parts of the South are receiving share of the immigration movement. The chief attraction offered by the South is its climate. Even if the land of the South was not as fertile as that of the Northwestern States vegeta- tion would grow more luxuriuosly in the South. It Is not so much the soil as it is the heat and moisture that causes vege- tation to grow. Given heat and moisture and vegetation will grow on rocks. Com mercial fertilizers are cheap and will make the poorest soil rich

One of the magazines calls attention 10 an error frequently made by dialect story writers who profess to give the dialect of the negro. These writers at tribute to the negro the use of the word 'ob' instead of "of.' But lob Is harder to pronounce than of" and ignorant people never substitute a hard word for an easy one. Instead of saying "ob" the negro says ''er," as "a beck CT pota- fnes .,

Col. Noble Smithson, a prominent law yer of Knoxville. Tenn, claims that the income tax decision wipes out the inter- nal revenue laws He says that the log ical result of this decision is that all Federal taxes, except duties of import, must be apportioned among the States according to their representation in the House of Representatives. The internal revenue law levies a tax on whisky to- bacco, etc, which is a direct tax. and is not apportioned among the States ac- cording to representation.

Memphis Sound Money Convention.

New Orleans Picayune: The gathering of delegates at Memphis to attend the sound money convention, which met yesterday, was all that the most ardent advocates of honest financial methods could have desired. All the southern states were represented, and every i'm portant commercial community had a delegation in attendance The proceed ings were most harmonious, and the res olutions adopted have the right ring and will not fail to convince the country that the advocates of sound money in the south are not only numerous, but earn est and united in their opposition to any measure calculated to destroy the existing gold standard.
 The proceedings of the convention are reviewed in detail elsewhere, and the ad- mirable speech delivered by Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle is also printed in full. This speech, as we'll as the re- marks by Congressmen Patterson and Catchings, are we'll worth the careful consideration of every citizen who takes a sufficient interest in public affairs to have followed the progress of the con- test now waging between the advocates of sound money on the one side and the promoters of free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 on the other.
 By far the most interesting results of the convention iare iresolutioHs which were unanimously odopted. These res- olutions were prepared by committee composed of a single delegate from each state represented. ~s

secrctaru carlisle,s sneeoh.

Baltimore Sun: In his speech yester- day at Memphis Secretary Carlisle con- fined himself strictly to the monetary aspect of the silver question. He showed with great clearness the meaning Of the proposal to exchange the gold standard for the silver standard and the sure re- suits of such a step. Free coinage at thel ratio of 16 to 1 means, he demonstrated. :. silver monometallism, the expulsion of gold the contraction of the currency, the existence of a 50-cent dollar, without gold in the treasury to insure its accept ance at par, and general disaster The south could have no interest in the ex- pertinent. Its prosperity requires the continuance of existing financial ar engagements It wants foreign capital to develop its resources, and this can be had only so long as confidence is felt by investors in the continuance of sound money conditions. Cotton and wheat have their price fixed abroad, and doub- ling the nominal price here would not increase the price at Liverpool. Tinker ing with the standard of value can only injure the masses of the people, It has been tried again and again and always with disastrous results.
 The secretary addresses himself with great Vigor and success to thee question of the alleged appreciation of gold and it's alleged effect in depreciating the price of cotton, wheat and other commodities. ne uelnOllSHeS the cOHteHtlOH lnal the appreciation of gold is the cause of uni versal fall of prices. Certain articles, like labor, have increased in price. Wages are higher than ever before, and the payments for wages exceed in amount what is paid for any half dozen other items. Food Is as high, or nearly as high. in cost as in 1873. The decline va ries with different groups of articles, which would not be the case if one cause operated to produce the fall in prices The per capita" argument and the debt repudiation argument are handled with much ability and success. The speech as a whole will add to the secretary's present great reputation as a sound econ omist and statesman.

The advanced women who propose to revise the Bible to suit the new woman" probably desire to strike out the Pauline injunction against woman appearing in church with her head uncovered This, and the admonition by Paul to woman to keep silence in the churches, is about all that women can find in the Bible that limits their liberty. The Cumberland Presbyterians. in prohibiting women from entering the pulpit, have stood by the old landmarks. Their decision will doubtless be received by all with grate- fulness. except few of the more lad vanced' women. Women should feel under a deep debt of gratitude to the Bible, for it's principles have elevated her from the place of mans slave to be his helpmeet.
