Grow Charges High officials With
Trying to influence Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Another
day was consumed by the house in ora
tory on the pension appropriation bill,
in the course of which the policy Of the
present administration toward the vet
erans was scored by both Republicans
and Democrats, and defended by two
or three Democrats. The most notable
incident of the debate was an attack
made by Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania,
on what he termed the extraordinary
attempt by the president and his clerks
to encroach upon the prerogauVeS or
the legislat tive branch of the govern
ment. He denounced Secretary Carlisle
for sending financial bill to congress,
and the action of the president In haV-
ing read the famous letter to Mr.. Catch
ings on the Wilson bill just before
vote on the bill, which he said was an
attempt to influence the vote. Con-
gress should resent such encroachments
upon it's prerogative, Mr.. Grow declar-
ed.
ment of Mr.. Allen of Utah, to the COM
mittee on public lands. in place of Mr..
Curtis, of Kansas, resigned.
George B. Mcclellan was declared
elected from the Twelfth district Of
New York.
A free home bill, making actual resi-
dence on railroad land grants neces-

and improved, was passed.
bill granting an American register
to the steamer Miami was also passed.
On motion of w. A. Stone (Rep., Pa),
the house went into committee of the
whole on the pension appropriation
bill, which was discussed on the lines
of yesterdays arguments.
Mr.. Picker Rep., S. D., chairman
of the committee on invalid pensions,
stated that the present bill did not, in
the estimation of the committee, go
far enough. The committee would
draw up and present bill bearing on
the administration of pension laws and
to facilitate the taking of testimony.
Mr.. Grow Rep., Pa.), opposed the
idea of communications being sent to
the house by the president and cabinet
officers for the purpose of creating
legislation and referred to the letter
sent by the president to Mr.. Catchings.
"This house." he said, should resent
any attempt by the president or his
clerks to dictate legislation to the
house."
At 4:O5 p. m. the house adjourned un-
til tomorrow.

FOR MINNESOTA RIVER.
Kiefer Has a Bill Calling for an Ex-
penditure of $4,000.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Congress-
man Kiefer today introduced a bill
appropriating $4,000 for improvement
in the Minnesota river at its mouth.
Senator Pettigrew introduced a bill
allowing the Lower Brule Indians of
South Dakota, who were living on
Rosebud reservation, south of White
river, prior to July 8, 1889, to return
and select allotments on land occupied
by them prior to that date, and also
allowing such of them as desire to
take allotments of land on Rosebud
reservation, south of White river, as
they might have done prior to March,
1889. The bill directs the secretary
of the interior to pay to the Rosebud
Indians 81 for each acre of land taken
by the Lower Brule. Senator Petit
grew also introduced a bill directing
the secretary of the treasury to pay to
Joseph Schwartz, of Sioux Falls, $40
for making plans and estimates for

bill introduced by Congressman Cook.
of Wisconsin, imposing a tax on man
ufacturers, wholesalers and retailers
of filled cheese, oleomargarine and
other limitations of dairy products, and
requiring the goods to be stamped with
a slip of information showing the con-
tents. The bill was first referred to a
subcommittee Of the ways and means
committee controlled by Democrats,
and it was Congressman Tawney's
desire to have the bill considered by
his subcommittee. Representatives of
dairymen throughout the country will
be consulted with reference to the bill,

sioner Anderson, of Minnesota, will be
summoned here to give his views on
the advisability of passing the meas

On Friday week, during The debate on the
vote on account, Mr.. j. A. Pease drew atten-
ton to the abominable system Of slavery al
lowed by us in Zanzibar in Pemb1. Mr..
Curzon, in reply, declared that the Govern
ment had been busily engaged during the
Recess in inqulirg in to the subject. y re-
beIIion near the coast had temporarily inter
Iupted their action, but they hoped in Il few
months that the legal status would be abolish
ed. On Sir f. Grey and other Members eX-
pressing dissatisfaction that the Under-Secre-
tary for foreign Affairs had not given a more
specific answer, Mr.. Curzon still refused to
name any specific day or month, but gave a
pledge that eur representative at Zan2lbar,
wien lie returned to that country, should
carry back instructions for abolition. We
suppose we must rest satisfied with this, but
We confess that we regard with indignation
and disgust an hours delay in putting an end
to slavery, and, what is worse, plantation
slavery. 1t ought to he a rule nfthe Empire
that the moment a country passes into our
our hands or under our Protee crate the legal
statu, Of slavery is ipSo tneto abolished. An
English officials eyes ought to be incapable
of seeing a slave. 1t was suggested during
the debate that Mr.. Hardinge might be prose
cuted for recognizing the status Of slavery.
that is al interesting point, and might raise
and decide the question whotaer Il subject OF
the Queen can rightly hand over a slave to his
alleged master.

THE COTTON PROBLEM.
Apartment Inquiry Touches the Very Root

Pertinent Inquiry Touches the Very Root
ofthe Observation-Disclosures Answer.
QUESTIoN.-Please tell me why, if I
have land, the stock and the supplies.
would run any risk in putting every
possible acre in cotton, after I have
made provision for ample supplies for
home consumption L see q great deal
of talk about reducing the cotton area,
and l can understand that if a man has
to buy supplies, or to curtail his pro-
vision crops in order to put in big cot
ton crop, he is working on a wrong ba-
sis, but when he takes neither of these
risks I don't see how he would make a
mistake in crowding i'll every acre DOS
sible in cotton
ANswER.-Your question touches at
the very root Of this cotton problem. If
a man has taken the precautions you
mention, he has right to put in every
acre OF cotton which he can properly
cultivate. But just here is the diff
Guilty. There are hundreds and thou
sands of acres of land devoted to cotton
each year, which do not pay the cost Of
production, and In proportion as the
bales made on these acres go to swell
the general crop and thus reduce the
average price, they, to that extent, in
crease the burden which their cultiya-
ton imposes. In the spring, the season
oR hope. the farmer is too apt to over.
estimate his own ability and the fertil-
tty Of his land, and when too late. he
fpds himself over cropped and commit.
ted to the cultivation of acres which
had far better have been left idle. or
put in some renovating crop. Land
which. with the aid of commercial fer.
filters. will produce only six or eight
bushels Of corn, and less than half
bale Of cotton to the acre, will not paw
at present prices, or even if prices Isule
higher. Some time ago we published
the results Of certain experiments. show.
ing that in proportion as the yield to
each acre was increased, the cost
was reduced, and consequently the
profit that much augmented. In
the contest for the prize acre Of
corn, the premiuR offered by the At
lanta Constitution was awarded to the
man who produced 1862 bushels on one
acre at cost of 1910. The average
yield in Georgia is II bushels per acre,
and the average cost is about $500.
The conclusion is obvious. If the addi-
tional $40, which is the difference be-
tween $9.70 and $500, produced such
