To the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from Louis
lana,
The Louisiana populist., 1897-06-11

We, the undersigned, petition
you to secure from the present
Congress, at the present Session,
an order for "a preliminary eX
animation and survey" of Cane riv-
er with view to the Improvement
of navigation thereof by system
of Locks and Dams.
This river, 80 miles in length,
flows through an extensive terrific
ry of the richest and most produc-
tive aIluvial land in the State,
which is suffering from Inadequate
transportation facilities, indeed a
large portion is without any trans
portation facilities during the ma
jor part of the year.
We trust and pray that your ef-
forts in behalf of this needful i'm
provcment will not be relaxed af-
ter securing the ''prcliminary ex-
animation and survey" but will be
re-doubled after that initial step
and continued until the object
sought-''permanent navigation in
Cane river"-is an accomplished
fact.

WHERE ARE THEY At?
Sacramento Men Who Helped Build
Up an Oakland Firm.

Another sTnooth-tongued stranger is
reported to have mulcted several OF our
business men to the amount of $50 each,
as they assert, under false pretenses.
1t is stated that a man giving his
name as T. B. Potter representing an
Oakland clothing firm, told the victims
that his house intended to establish a
large branch in this city if the citizens
of Sacramento would hold out the nee
essary inducements. AS this would give
employment to number of people, the
business men were asked to aid in the
matter by giving their notes for $50 to
the Oakland firm, in return for which
they were given a printed contract en-
titling them to have their clothes and
shirts made by the firm at wholesale
prices for ten years. They were also to
have given to them cards printed with
their respective names to distribute
among their customers, which, when
presented by customer to the Oakland
house. accompanied by cash order of
So. would be worth 81 to him, and the
note-signer would be entitled to 10 per
cent. commission on all sales made
through their cards.
They have since ascertained that the
firm has no intention of opening a
branch here and only proposes to open
an Office, with samples of goods from
which orders can be made and sent to
Oakland to be filled. The firm, 1t is
stated, say that Mr.. Potter had no au-
thority to promise that any store or fac
tory would be located here and the
note-signers are wondering why they
did not keep their money here

REFORMING THE STATE
San Diego Union: In another column
will be found a. synopsis Of Governor
Budd's biennial message to the Legis-
lature. The document itself makes a
pamphlet OF 100 pages. The Governors
suggestions relative to economy will
meet general approval, and there is no
doubt that the adoption of many of his
recommendations would be advantag-
ious.. Still, the perusar of even an out
line of this biennial communication
from the executive will suggest to most
persons the thought that the Governor
is essaying the rather arduoue task
Of reforming the entire State of Cali
fornia by message, and that he might
have accomplished more had he at
tempted less.

LONGER SESSIONS
San Jose Mercury: Governor Budd
favors extending the term of the Leg
islature from sixty days to 100 days.
The reasons which he gives for this
recommendation are sound on the sur
face, and doubtless the experiment
would be worth trying. The Constitu-
ton requires that each bill shall be
read in full in each House ON three
several days. A great deal of time is
necessarily consumed in the election of
a United States Senator, in organizing
selecting the clerks and attaches, IN
preparing and introducing bills, in con-
sidering them in committee, and In
many Incidental matters that demand
attention and shorten the working
hours of the session. Nearly every
Senator and Assemblyman has one or
more bills which he is desirous of hav-
ing passed. The aggregate is something
enormous, and the earlier a measure is
introduced the better are it's chances
of receiving due consideration. Hence,
many bills are hastily drawn, others
are offered which contradict themselves,
many are unconstitutional and in it's
desire to cover as much ground as pos
sible the fitness and merit of numerous
measures are not determined.
The result is a mass of legislation a
large portion of which is radically de-
fective if not actually vicious.

SKIN GRATING TO SAVE A HAND.
a Child's Hand Bound In n Pocket OF skin on
His Own Abdomen.

Joseph Otto. tho 7-months old son OF John
Otto of 1876 Elizabeth street, is at the Post
Graduate Hospital. Twentieth street and Second
avenue. with his right hand firmly bound in a
pocket formed by the skin on his own stomach.
He was operated upon on Saturday by DIR. Sam
uel T. Lloyd OF "a West Fiftieth street, who is
trying to save the child's hand. Two weeks ago
the member was severely burned. Ordinary
remedies were applied by the parents and the
injury appeared to be getting better. A few days
later, however, as the new skin began forming.
the fingers turned backward and 1t was neces-
sary to amputate the little finger. 1t then be-
came apparent that IL the hand werc 10 be saved
skin grating would be necessary. The child
was sent 10 the hospital.
DIR. Lloyd lifted enough skin from the little
patients abdomen to insert under 1t the child's
hand. 1t was then bound in place and will be
left so for two or three weeks in the expectation
that the skin from the stomach will grow on the
back OF tho hand. In case it does another opera
ton will be necessary to cut the member loose.
Yesterday a fever developed and the child's con-
dition was not as favorable as was hoped for.
