IL now seems certain that there
will be DOextra session. The Sen
ate Committee on military affairs
has reached compromise on
the Army Bill, which will 90 through
at this session. 1t is expected that
the compromise is for an increase Of
the army to one hundred Thousand,
the law auth oriz'ng this increase to
hold until july, 1901. At the expi-
ration Of this time, under the pro-
visions Of the bill, the army is to go

ira session Of Congress to pass the
Hull bill providing for permanent

promise having been reached there
will Do no extra session.
Hon. II. L. johnson, of Indiana,
created sensation in the House
Friday by very carefully prepared
speech in which he severely criti-
cis.d the Presidents policy toward
the Philippines.
The regular appropriation bills are
now rapidly being passed, and all
routine work will be completed be-
fore March 4th.
Rumors are afoat that Secretary
Alger will resign from the cabinet at
an early date.
The Secretary of war has denied
this report, however, saying he could
not retire under fire, nevertheless it
is known that public sentiments has
made it so uncomfortable for him
that he would like to resign.

Then Mr.. Council wanted to strike
out the word NEAR and insert the
word MAY in the section relative to
county commissioners issuing license
to bar-rooms. This was to court the
favor of liquor men and take tho
question of bar-rooms, liquor shops
out of the hands of the people and
giving all power to the liquor seller.
This was voted down and Council
went down with it.
ANOTHER FIGHT ON LAWYERS AND
DOCTORS TAX.
A strong plea was made in the
, House Thursday to take the license
tax off doctors. It was claimed they
were too poor, ana too generous and
charita BILE to.havA to pay it. Then
special effort was made to take it off
country doctors. This was urged as
unconstitutional to take it off Thorn
and.not the city physician. But it
soon was found out that if they took
the tax off county and small town
doctors, then they must take It of
of country and small town lawyers.
The amendment was lost by vote of
Al to 81. The section as agreed up
on by the House is as follows:
"On each and every practicine
LAWYER, practicing physician and
dentist, the sum of five dollars: pro.
vided, that no city town or county
shall levy any additional license tai

law Was Taken In.
Ceas.. IL. COTE in the Springfield (Mo.)
Republican.


In the year 1868. soon after the fall
of Vicksburg. the congress of the Unit
ed States passed an act pertaining to,
and for the purpose f,.utilizing the rich
cotton lands of the Mississippi valley.
Hundreds of magnificent estates, both
in the sugar and cotton belts, had been
practically deserted by their owners,
whose families, on the advent of the
army and naval force of invasion,
sought safety in the interior on the up
lands of Louisiana and Mississippi.
The plantations had been left to the
care OF old family servants. who were
always, in the days of slavery, consid-
cred as trustworthy members of the
household. A decree had been pro-
mulgated from Washington which de-
clared all these properties coufscated,
aud sub-department was created of
the treasury of the United States, de-
signated the bureau of freedmen and
abandoned lands" An army of treasu-
ry officials was sent out TO look after
this lucrative field, and never was there
more inviting opportunity offered TO
enterprise and greed. or one more Gag
erly exploited. AS rule these agents
were political healers," and the scope
of their authority was only limited by
nerve and conscience, and in the neces-
sary details of their work the govern
ment forces were subordinate to their
demands At this late day it is hardly
probable that the narrative of naked
facts could be construed as evidence of
disloyaity, though they might seem to
call in question the writer's veracity.
However, be that as it may, as we sur
vey the retrospect the system as in
anguarated and perpetrated was one of
the most shameful measures of whole
sale vandalism ever conceived. Bear
IN mind that for 400 miles from the
northern Louisiana line to the land of
the sugar bowl there WAS an almost
uabroken chain of splendid plantations,
with princely homes and elegant SUR

Chaiaberlain's Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, Group, whooping
cough and influenza. 1t has become
famous for its cures of these diseases,
over large part of the civilized world.
The most fatteriug testimonials have
been received, giving accounts of its
good works; of the aggravating and
persistent coughs it has cured, ofse
colds that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the dangerous
attacks of Group it has cured, often
saving the life of the child. The ex-
tepsive use of it for whooping cough
has shown that it robs that disease of
all dangerous consequences. Sold by

r. III. Edmonds, editor of The
Manufacturers Record, says in re-
gard to his recent Southern trip f:
Il have had occasion to study care
fully the actual workings of the
round bale system of cotton handling,
which is being introduced by Mr..
Searles, and l am more than ever
convinced that while it means the
development of probably the biggest
industrial enterprise since the Stand
ard Oil was brought into existence,
it also means saving of $50, 600, 600
to $40, 900, 200 a year to the South.
The mlddlemen, the cotton factors
and compress people, who now take
toll out OF every bale of cotton, do
not like it, but the farmers do; for
under it they are getting a dollar or
two more bale for their cotton than
is pus up 10 the old square bale. :
