DO AE.LI;;ATORs CUTLEyEES9

This is question which is being ask
ed from more than one quarter. and one
which is li;r with Importance to the
people who live along the banks Of the
mississippi river, or in its immediate
vicinity. Up to few days ago moth
ing OF the kind had ever been thought
or, and perhaps It never would have
been but for a discovery made oppo-
site New Orleans in Algiers day
or SO since. 1t appears, according
to the Washington Post, that in Algiers.
ooppositc New Orleans, there has been
considerable trouble from scepagc DIR
ing The present high water, and at one
place an unusual quantity OF water
attracted attention. a search was or
dcred, and a report made that a hole
had been made in the levee by an all
gator. His trail could he plainly seen,
and from it the estimate was made that
the alligator was at least four feet
long.
In times like the present the people
OF the mississippi need to be extra
watchful to prevent breaks in the le-
wees, and nodoubt they are, but If alli-
gators do really cut levees, the need
Of constant watchfuness becomes
greater than ever before, because of
this new found danger-one which
comes from source difficult to guard
against. The fact that the alligators do
not remain n one point all the time.
but are frequently on the move, in
creases the danger, and 1t is absolutely
impossible 20 tell where or when they
Will undertake to cut levce
The uncertainty Of the time and point
OF attack by an alligato will make the
work OF guarding the levees necessarily
continuous.
The discovery Of the hole cut in the
leVee at Alglers. and the trail Of the
alligator. which proved to be some four
feet long, has caused the opinion to
be expressed that no doubt many Of the
heretofore unaccountaible breaks in the
levees along the river has been The
work OF those animals. This IS serious
matter and one which is going to be eX-
ccedinSly difficult TO handle.

EXPERIMENTAL FARMING.

me second convention OF the Indus
trial Agents Of the Seaboard Air Line
was held in Charlotte, N. c., on Wed
ncsday last, and from the remarks oode

IL was learned that in the towns along
me line 10000 shade trees have been set
out withmthe past sixty days
AS by way of showing what has been
made In experimental farming and what
is contemplated. the Charlotte News
quotes one Of the speakers as saving:
The Seaboard has already estah-
hshed % Of the 100 projected expert +
mental farms, on which have been
planted 100000 fruit trees and fruit
bearing shrubs. Firty thousand
packases OF seeds have been distri
Duted. and when the fruit season
comes In there will be a travelling

This is to show our country people

road machine with full equip
ment IS to travel at the same time
and show the improved methods Of
making roads.
IF all these things are produced at
home it will withdraw considerable
revenue that the Seaboard now de-
rives from freight on this class Of
goods. But the management is not
SO selfish or short sighted as 10
hesitate on that account. All this
will come back to US in another way
when the country is built up and
prosperous"
The matter Of establishing expert
mental farms has been tried in other
sections Of the country with success,
and there Is every reason why they
should prove equally so along the Sea-
board.

DUSTIN, s

The duty which the Dingley bin I'M
poses on Mexican cattle Is so high as to
amount to prohibition. and according to
the New Orleans States, u report comes
from a semi-otiicial source to the effect
that the Mexican Congress w!ll pass q
rcta!iatory bill, placing prohibitive du-
ties on hogs, and all packing house pro-
ducts Of this country.
In view Of the fact that our trade with
Mexico In cured hams, bacon and cam
ed meats amounts to millions Of dol
lars year. such retaliatory legislation
on the part OF the Mexican government
will greatly injure the packing industry
Of this country because It will result
in American capital establishing large
packing plants in Mexico and controll-
ING the trade now enjoyed by Chicago,
Kansas City and other OF our great
packing centres. Our contemporary
asserts that this is one direction in
which the Dingley bill will work seri-
Gus mischief, and adds, that there are
many others as the business interests
OF the United States will quickly dis
cover as soon as the bill become Il
law.

Japan's protest against the annexation
OF the Hawaiian islands exposes and
brings to the front Of the discussion the
kernel of the Hawaiian trouble-the Ash
attic question. There are now in Hawaii
nearly $1,000 Asiatics. Almost one-half
OF the population is Asiatic, equally di-
vided between China and Japan. The
dispute OF the Hawaiian government with
Japan before the annexation treaty was
signed arose over the matter OF Japan
csc immigration. Under the free condi-
tions Of immigration which have here
tofore existed the hordes Of Asia would
in a few years overwhelm both the ma
tives and the white foreigners. In large
measure the heavy immigration Of ASH
atics has been due to the American su-
gar exploiters, who wanted the benefit
Of cheap coolie labor. Now the question
is, how to stop the Asiauc immigration,
and the men in control Of the govern
ment can see no ea sier way than to
turn the islands over TO the United
States and secure the beueht Of our laws
against Aslatic immigration.

The attempt Of various denominations
TO require abstinence from tobacco on
the part of their members is now being
enlarged into the school room, and a
crusade against the use Of tobacco has
recently been started in number OF our
American universities. 1t is a recognized
fact that tobacco, when taken into the
system in excessive quantities. is inju-
rious. not only to the physical health.
but to the Intellectual development as
well. The Boston university has issued
an ordinance that those students who
are unwilling TO forego the use Of to-
bacco while within the precincts Of the
university will have their fees returned
and their names taken from the books.
The ohiowesleyan university has made a
rule forbidding its students TO use to-
bacco in any form. and other universi-
ties have made similar ordinances.
