A SLICK TRICK.
CHICAGO SOLDIERS TRYING TO BAM-
BOOZLE MI ssISSIPPI.

Chicago, Nov. 6-More than three
hundred former members OF the Sec
ond and Third Mississippi Volunteers,
who enlisted from Chicago, held a
meeting to-day in the Unity building.
A law firm Of this city claims to have
discovered an old statute of Mississ-
ippi which grants bounty of $50 to
every soldier who recruits in its
regiment, and who is not resident Of
the State. Accordingly the volunteers
have organized for the purpose of insti-
tuting proceedings against the State
for the payment of the money alleged
to be due them. 1t is said that sew
eral hundred Chicagoan volunteers to
I'll up Mississippi's quota, and were
in service from July, 1898, to April,
1899. Col j. L. Power, secretary of
State of Mississippi, has declared in a
letter to the attorneys who are hand
ling the case that the claims are un-
founded, and will not be paid. As
soon as the necessary papers can be
prepared a formal demand will be
made, and il that is not granted suit
will be brought.

HOW JOHN CHINAMAN
MARRIES.

A somewhat superlluOus law Of this
country shuts out John Chinaman
from citizenship. That is no grief to-
John, says Lesle's Weekly. He does
not yearn for the enlightenment OF
western civilization typifed by foreign
devils who attempt to restrict his use
OF opium. and even 90 so far as to-
deny him the right Of gambling.
What he wants to do is to live here on
20 cents day while making 50 a day,
and, as soon as he gets enough surplus,
60 back to his ancestral halls. where
he can support family in great COM
fort on something like u cents a day.
The copyright on this article doesn't
prohibit persons with taste for
mathematics from using these figures
as basis for calculating how long it
will be before, under present condi-
tions, America has a permanent Chi
nese population. or course John some
times marries here and settles down.
His wife may be Chinese woman to-
who he was betrOthed years before,
when she was baby, and who comes
over her in the steeraee and under
chaperonage to fulfill the obligation
entered into by her parents, and to
find herself the center of very consid-
erable celebrations extending through
the three streets Of the quarter. In
the last wedding Of this sort the
bride was q and groom 81. The be-
trothal had lasted since her second
year. More often the bride is one Of
the dehauched girl of the quarter, ,and
the ceremony is after the American
custom, for which the Chinaman has
small regard. 1t matters the less in
that the wife commonly dies 10 year
or two, rarely leaving any offspring.
Opium does il. To the Mongoian it
is one OF the blessings of life. To the
Caucasian it Is mental moral and
physical decay; then death. There is
a third class of marriages not pleas
ant to c0ntemplate-the union OF
Cinnamon to young Sunday school
teachers. There was a time, when
association Of this kind resulted in
several weddings. Many more might
have followed had not several out
spoken and courageous clergymen de-
livered warnings from the pulpit of
the folly and danger Of such alliances;
whereupon they were, as matter Of
course, denounced in round terms
from many other pulpits as enemies
to the propagation of the Christian
faith.

LEE ON CUBA.

Cuba is improving. The Cubans are
tractable and quiet, and the revolu.
tion has given them self respect ana
self reliance. Their impulses are
generally In the right direction: but,
OF course, both in theory and practice
OF self government they are wholly
without experience. There is among
certain Cubans deep seated preju-
dice against some men whom the Gu.
bans think oppressed them under the
Spanish rule, and II given free rein,
the Cubans would make short work Of
them. The United States government
is pledged to grant Independence to
Cuba after the island has been paci-
fed, and I believe that promise should
be fulfilled just as swiftly as we car
in reason and Justice.

THE FIGHTING BOERS.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The route Of the British forces at
Ladysmith and the capture OF two
regiments, together with the great
loss of life inflicted upon the British,
will serve to indicate the character OF
the fighters which the English have
to face in the Transvaal. The Beers
have had the fighting instinct rooted
into their natures 10y generations OF
fighting ancestors, whose whole exist
ence has been but one prolonged strug-
gle against all kinds of opposition.
They have been compelled to protect
their homes against the depredations
of the fierce and relentless savage
tribes by whom they are surrounded !;
hence, about the first thing a young
Boer learns is how to fight. Under
such conditions the instinct Of self
preservation, the desire to dominate,
have conspired to produce manly
andself-reliant race, eager to defend
their rights and swift to resent any
encroachments upon their social ira
ditions, their peculiar type OF civili
tion and the homes and tlresides Of
their wives and children. The Boers
are the real "Rough Riders" of mod
ern civilization, and their habits o
life, and the continual struggle 70
supremacy against the wild and bar
barous hordes which surround them
have developed sturdy stock Of yeo
men, whose equals can be found nc
where else in the world. The Britisl
will doubtless win in the end, but VI
fear that they will have a long ant
bloody experience before them, o
which the incident at Ladysmitn Is
but the beginning.

"The Suez Canal brought the Fill

"The exports of hemp have greatly

were exported, which has increased
until there was exported in 1897, ll2,-

the amount exported amounted to T.

fallen off, and from 1893 to 1897 the
annual shipments averaged only 200

from reliable sources.
"The cotton tree is found growing
in an unCultivated state in many ISL.

cotton was formerly extensively cul.
tivated in the province Of lllicos
Norte, when many years ago large
quantities OF good cotton stuffs were
exported This industry still exists.
The cultivation Of this staple was
however, discouraged by the local gov

OF tobacco for the government sup

a prize was awarded in Madrid), wa'
gratuitously distributed over the col

theless, cotton spinning and weaving
is still carried on at reduced scale ii
the Iloc0s province Nuzon coast).
"Wild cotton is practically useless
for spinning, as the staple is extremel!
short but, perhaps, by hybridizator
and careful attention, its culture
might become valuable to the colony
The pod is elliptical and the cottor
which bursts from it at maturity i;
snow white. 1t is used for stutlin9
pillows and mattresses.
"It is a common thing to see wilt
cotton trees planted along the high
road TO serve as telegraph poles. By
the time the seed are fully ripe every
leaf has fallen, and nothing but the
bursting pod remains hanging to the
branches.
