| Washington. January 20 : -'lssion Of

was the presentation by Nj man OF a
letter from Minister Rodrl = : he repre-
sentative of the Greater Rel : Of Central
American Uncluding Nica : . in effect
protesting against the elc : n ;hc Me

this purpose was ab,u 2 'otcl ON by

atod CONSERVATION among its friends. Mr.
| Morgan. it's chief Supporter, at once de-
clared that the letter Was inspired by Great
Britlin who sought to drive the United
States from tho sthmus by using Central
America as a oatspaw. Re asserted that
Minister Rodriguez had tome here to exc
cute such a plan and that It was an open
threat against American control OF the
canal. The debate was very earnest and
the lottor made profound Impression on
the senators, Senator Villas declared that
! 1t struck death blow to the canal project
proposed by the pending bill.

Reducing Cotton Acreage.

Daily Item.
Hector Lane, president Of the
American Cotton Growers Asso
citation, has been in conference
and correspondence with leading
members, officially, of the Asso-
citation, with the view of elabors-
ting an extensive and compfehen-|
sive plan for a reduction of the
acreage usually planted in cotton
in the South. =
This has been the pet idea of q
considerable number of cotton
growers, and of a very large num-
Der of those not engaged in its
culture, but it is an idea thorough
ly impossible of practical applica-
ton. Besides, it involves the sf-
firmation of the over-production
theory, as cause for hard times
and the consequent fall in the
price of not only cotton, but ell
other farm products, and all other
commodities for sale, as we'll.
We are constantly inviting emi.
grants to come to the South. II
they accept, and are of q desirable
class, they will probably engage ir
farming to a large extent. and in
that pursuit will cultivate cotton
If the immigration is of any con
siderable extent, and every effor
will be exerted to make it 80, ",
may be sure that it will make nj

GROWS APACE.

The subscription list. being cir
culated for the purpose of raising
funds to send to the drouth SITTER
ers, is being swelled every day,
and the amount SO far raised is
nearly q hundred dollars exclusive
of the amount secured at the NEE
ting last Sunday. 1t is within
the bounds of reasonable proba-
bility that the whole amount will
reach two hundred dollars or
more. Add to this whatever sum
the Police Jury and City Council
will give, and it is hoped that the
aggregate will be any where be-
tween four and five hundred dol
lars. The young ladies who 80
unsel6shly and kindly took charge
of the list have done noble work,
and the Messenger gladly sings
the praises that are theirs.
Our people have responded quick
tly to charity's call; They have
given literally; they remember
their own misfortune in 1882, and
they must continue to give as long
as their mite is needed.
We understand the colored folh
have expressed a desired to con.
tribute something. In fact it Ii
statedthat sterling organization the
True Friends had, or were abou1
taking steps to formulate plans tt
raise funds, aud that kindred as
sociations would take similar &C
ton.
We rather expected this from
our colored citizens, who have ne
yer failed to answer when Chart,
called, or their services could b.
useful.
In this connection we have no
taken in consideration what tn,
people from above may do. Their,
is no doubt that we can depent
upon them for a couple of hun
dreds of dollars. If this expecta
ton is realized our parish ma.
contribute in the neighborhood o
six hundred dollars. If she DOM
she ought to.

The Item is stating facts, and is

said would be done, has been done
whenever and wherever an attempt
TO reduce cotton acreage has been
made. The cotton growers con-
2ition is not an isolated one. All
