The Captain is au old Red River
planter and possesses a store of
pleasing anecdotes in many of which
the plantation negro aud the mule
play an interesting part. Although

history of our country yet he is most
favorably impressed and surprised

development of the great northwest.
He is pleased with the bospitable
welcome of its people and will carry

The Next Congress.

When the new Congress comes in
next December it will be found that
neither of the great parties has ma
jority in the Senate. The Republi
cans have plurality, but not ma
jority; therefore they will be unable
to organize unless they can effect a
coalition with the Populists. The
numerical strength of the parties is {:
Republicans, AZ; Democrats, 80; Pop
ulists, 6. There is one vacancy. The
question of legality in the election of
a successor to Senator Higgins, of
Delaware, will be seriously raised
It cannot be settled until the Senate
shall have been duly organized. The
Republicans can hardly afford to COM
bine with the Populists just on the
eve of a national election. But they
want the patronage which is controll-
ed by the majority, and some of the
hungry ones would willingly take
long chances in order to secure it.
As the vote from Delaware would
not, however, give them majority,
there is likely to be an exhibition OF
the proverbial slowness OF the Senate
in passing upon the constitutional
question involved.
If the six Populists decide to act
as a unit upon all political matters
that arise, they will practically be in
control of the Senate. By casting
their votes with either party they can
always make a majority. Nobody
knows just what policy they will pur-
sue, but it is quite plain that they
will hold the key to the situation
They can make their own terms. No
bill can 60 through without their ap.
proval. No appointments of clerks
or other officers of the Senate can be
made unless they agree. They will
be in position to dictate the policy
Of the upper chamber. The outlook
is not very cheering for the Republi
cans. They have an enormous ma.
jority in the lower House, but they
will be utterly helpless in the Senate
They will be at the mercy of Mr..
PETER and the two Senators from
Nevada, who can make speeches az
long and as tiresome as the ebulli
tions of the late Mr.. Blair, of New
Hampshire.

The Aberdeen Examiner says: East
Mississippi has shipped enormous
quantities of corn, hay, cattle, hogs,
fruit, peas, vegetable and lumber this
year, in addition to thousands of car
loads of cotton aud cotton seed. On
the other hand, its imports of food
for man and beast, except in the line
of luxuries or products of foreign
countries, have been Insignificant.

If there is any truth in the old say
ing that season of abundant wild
fruits and nuts presages cold and
snowy winter, severe weather may be
expected from December to March
next. All the wild fruits have been
unusually abundant, and there is
promise of an equally abundant nut
crop.

Hector D. Lane says the more he in
vestigates the more he is disposed to
reduce his estimate of the cotton
production. He estimates the crop
at 100000 bales, and says: Il sin
cerely hope the planters will be wise
enough to hold their cotton off the
market. They will save big margin
of profit for themselves by being
patient.

Taylor's, Buck Hall, Cash Point,

Lovely Point.
In conclusion, the Board of State
Engineers desires to again impress
upon your Board, the imperative
necessity for the adoption of regula-
tons to insure the protection of the
levees from the many abuses from
which they are daily suffering, and
the formulation of plans to at once
repair them and keep them in repair.
The condition of the levees in
many parts of the District, resulting
from neglect and abuse, is simply
disgraceful, and unless promptly
remedied, cannot but seriously reflect
upon your Board, in whose hands the
law has placed all the power and au
thority necessary to make and enforce
such regulations as are required to
insure their proper care, preservation
and protection. Many instances of
neglect and abuse can be cited which
may be pronounced as forerunners
of disaster to the District in the
event Of extreme high water.
Detailed estimates of the amount
of work required at any particular
point will be promptly furnished
whenever requested by your Board,
as we'll as any other engineering
work which you may deem necessary
in the interest of your District.
