Delta, that if elected to the United
States Senate and they became Q
part Of my constituency, IN view
of the fact that the government
was thoroughly committed by
very many precedents to the con-
struction of levees, as a Senator
for the State of Mississippi
would do what / could in securing
them appropriations. | supposed
my record on this question was
satisfactory to some of Governor
McLaurin's warmest friends and
supporters in the Delta as they
claimed to be anxious to see me
elected to the senate three years
ago; they did not then object to
my position on the levees. | could
mention many of @hem, notably
among the list, the Governors
brother, who was then in the SEN
ate from a Delta county.
will go to the Delta and to
your county when | can get away
from my duties here and meet and
address your people.
lam very much obliged for your
suggestions, and will be glad to
received suggestions from you at
any time, and hope to see and con-
fer with you before a very great
while.
Yours very truly,
JOHN M. ALLEN.
The only comment The Herald
has to make on this letter is a
repetition of that urged on friends
in the Legislature from the Delta
in the Senatorial contest of 1896;
that if Mr.. Allen would pledge his
support to levee appropriations IN
the future it would be false policy
to oppose his candidacy because
of past errors of Judgment. 1t is
no more than just, and certainly
wise, to recognizethe progressive
ness of political science. And that
only in recent years has Demo
cratic strict construction ceased
obstructing national aid in deVel-
opment of internalresources; such
as rivers, harbors and levee work.
Only the insensate intolerant, or
the designing demagogue, denies
tie justification and the integrity
of an honest change of front; such
as have have been very common
in the recent political history OF
the ay.-Vicksburg Herald.

THE FUTURE OF COTTON.

Inc COTTON crop for 1899 will he
pitched upon basis of five cents
per pound; those who have made
ends meet last year or made a lit.
tie money will put in as great or a
larger acreage OF the staple, while
those who have lost money will
give their lands to other crops.
The determination of the profit
ableness of raising cotton at five
cents or less is an individual one,
and largely influenced by locality,
environments, character of aoll
ETC., and that il pAe very good
reR9oR Why no general rule can
ma unlYersaai application. 1t is
a good reason for the common os-
innate of the Uselessness of cotton
conventions, and the futility to
restrict acreage by resolutions.
1t pays A to grow cotton while b
may tinda greater profit in corn
or some other crop; A may make
cotton at four cents while it may
cost b six or eight cents to pro-
duoe the same crop. The l~,,oieol
deduction from th', condition ;s
''l'' '..n individual will do the
thing that seems most profitable
to.him without reference to con
vontions and their output Of pre-
amble and resolution.
We do not believe that the cot
ton crop of the South will ever a.
gain fell below ten million bales
except in case of disastrous wealth
er conditions; no country ever re-
duees in staple crops, while the
population goes on increasing and
new lands are opened for cultlva-
ton. Cotton Is essentially the
crop of the South. Every condition
is here favorable to its growth and
the world will continue to look to
these lands for ''the wherewithal
to be clothed" For this reason
the crop is not likely to be reduced
and any enhancement in prices
must come from u greater demand
rather than diminished supply.
Whether cotton can be grown at
five cents or not is, as we have
said an individual question, but we
do not doubt that there will be
found courage enough among the
great mass of Southern land own
ers to unde rtake the task, and the
cotton will be produced whether
probably or not for few seasons,
when economies will be evolved
to make it profitable. The time
was when eight cents was fixed as
the limit at which the staple could
be grown; we have now reached
the point where that price would
mean a plethora of profit, and it is
reasonable to believe that the
Southern planter win solve the
question that is now presented in
lower range ofprices for the staple
There is nothing in the situation
to discourage effort, but every
thing to inspire endeavor on the
part of our people to procure lar
ger yields from thesr lands to COM
pensate for the deficit in the price.

A NOTABLE SUCCESS.

The success scored on the occasion

engagement of John w. Isham's Octo-
rooms, at the Grand Opera House last
night. was notable. This company OF
colored singers. comedians and dancers
had scored n tremendous hit here last
season. so 1t was not. surprising that
there was crush ut the theatre last
night. At S o'clock Manager FeInler
emerged from the box office, and with n,
smile OF satisfaction placed the stand

isfaction was only equalled by the dis
appointment Of the many who had fall
ed TO secure seats. The production has
been changed since last here. but the
changes include novel and up-to-datc
features, which only add TO its Dopu.
lnrity. "a Tcnderlon Coon, n mu-
slcal farce In two acts. Is the dramatic
groundwork into which are woven the
many excellent features that make nm
the performance. Mention of cnch
need not be made: all were received
with enthusiasm. and every performer
was accOrdd an encore. The dancing,
singing, comedy work. cake walking
these and all other spccialtIes were
winners from the word so. Tonight
the programme will be varied slightly
by the singing Of the pilgrims chorus,
from "Tannhauser." The engagement
will close on Wednesday, with matinee
and night performances.

ADJUSTMENTS.

It Is safe to say that 4 more delighted
audience never assembled within the
walls of the Opera house than that
which witnessed the initial performance
OF the Boston Lyric company In said
Pasha" last night. II was certainly
music and merrlment and laughter from
start to finish. The company as an en-
tirety Is one Of the best that has np-
peared In this city. There was finish.
an artistic atmosphere OF superbness
about the whole performance that made
the evening most charminSly spent
one.
Miss Josephine Stanton. us Serano, is
very handsome. and sang the music OF
the role rs only an artist Of the first
water Is capable OF. Henry Mailman,
as Terano. possesses voice OF purest
tenor and handles 1t most capably. Mr..
Lett. the comedian OF the company, is a
mirthful player and kept the audience
convulsed with laughter, while Jack
Henderson. us Mockey. deserves espec-
ial praise for an extremely funny per-
formancc. The other principals. includ-
ins George Olinc. Eugene Rogers, Bea-
trice, Gordon and Mamie Klngsbury, ac-
quilted themselves most creditably. A
Gance introduced In the first act by MISC
Daisy Howard and Miss Lancaster was
doubly encored.
Musically inclined Wheeling cannot
afford to miss this companv during It's
engagement OF one week In this city.
Tonight Millocker's celebrated military
comic opera, THE Black Hussar," will
be given. and tomorrow matinee said

But how does this urice acid get Into
the blood? That IN the great question.
Uric acld gets into tho blood, polsons
the blood. and often ruins the lie, be-
cause It is not expelled from the sss-
TEN.
But how can It be thrown out of the
system? 49,.
In one way and one way only
through the kidneys, Is this not slm-
pie. Is Il not reaEonnble--lt Is true!
II Is becluse the kidneys are not
