SOUTHERN Congressman would do well to consider carefully before voting for bills carrying large ap- propriations to irrigate the dry lands Of the distant West, South west and the Pacific slope. In the South We have millions of acres of swamp lands of marvellous fertility which are unproductive from ex- cess of water just as the arid region is unproductive from lack of water, and it would be nothing short of the most sectional legislation to overlook this fact by appropriating money to reclaim the dry lands of the region mentioned and ignoring the South-Atlantic and Gulf sea. board.

New Orleans Daily States says; ''If it is true, as the Dtspatc5 says, that a good deal of the bloom has been removed from the rose by women entering the business walks of fife and competing with men. This coms petition has grown at such pace within the past twenty years that men have been crowded out of oeeu- pations formerly belonging to them and forced to joln the rapidly in- creasing army of tramps, and as . result women are not respected as much now as they were when they illuminated home and not the busi- ness office with her presence. But We are glad to know that a crusade of courtesy is not necessary in New Orleans, and We hope never will be. While female labor has supplanted male labor in many in dustrial pursuits in the South, our men, we are proud to say, hold women in the highest respect be- cause chivalry is inborn and cannot be acquired. The gallant, courteous and respectful treatment of women has made the Southern gentleman famous the world over, and may he never fall below the mark set by his auces tors the cavaliers.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be ineurable. For great many years doc tors pronounced 1t a local disease, and pre- seribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pro- n0Gneed it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J. Cheney X Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con- stitutfonal cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful It acts diEectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of fhe system. They offer one hundred dollars for any ease it fails to cure.

 THE DECAY OF GHIJdLRF
 A well meaning and chivalrous gentleman in Chicago has started what he is pleased 10 call a crusade of courtesy, in other words it is his determination 10 make the men of that city show more gallantry and respect for women by surren- dering their seats in street cars to the softer sex. We do not know of a harder spot than Chicago in which to inaugurate a campaign or a cru sade of courtesy, but it is to be hoped that the crusader will succeed and a battery of artillery will signi- fy the event by firing a salute on the lake front, but we are inclined to believe that he is doomed to sore disappointment, because of the material he has to deal with and the fact that the times have changed. Commenting on this fact the Chicago Dispatcd says;
 The male biped who keeps his seat in street cars while women stand is not necessarily a hog. Ht may be simply very tired man.
 It is one of the deplorable feat ures ot latter day civilization that women have voluntarily surrendered that consideration shown them a generation ago
 They have gone into the indus trial market and have bid against their brothers for places of profit, and their brothers have very prop erly come to recognize them as a force to be recognized in the strug- gle for existence-nothing more.
 If the men Of this country can not support it's life; if female labor is essential to the development of industries, then it would i'll become man to affect q superior strength by surrendering his rights in public conveyances or anywhere else.
 The person who acknowledges his own ineompetency by setting his daughters to work as soon as they are as high as big mans knee cuts a grotesQue figure as aeavalier.
 ~ omen who fret under the yoke they hare placed on themselves have the remedy in their own hands. Let them confne their efforts and their sphere to domestic life, as they for merly did, and they will be treated with market courtesy, as they formerly were
