A HIGH TRIBUTE TO A WOR,
THY MAN.
Tensas Gazette.1

Tensas Gazette.
We have juat received the full
text of the admirable speech made
on March 10th, in the House of Rep
resentatives by Congressman Rams
dell during the debate on the rivers
and harbors bill. The speech bears
evidence of that reseach and knowl-
edge of the subject discussed which
are so characteristic Of its author,
and is clear, forcible and eloquent
exposition of the Importance of the
Mississippi river from commercial
point of view and Of the duty Of the
Federal government towards the peo-
pie who live on its banks. -
Mr.. Ransdell has in the short
space OF time since he entered Con-
gress won for himself conspicuous
place in that body and is already re-
cognized as an authority on the sub
ject of the Mississippi river and the
levee system.
His selection as a member of the
rivers and harbors committee, one of
the most sought-after committee
assignments in Congress, was a trib-
ute to his high standing in the House
and has placed him in position to
serve his constituency. which is or
dinarily reached only after wears of
Congressional service.
Representing district to which
protection from the foods of the
Great River is of vital Importance
Mr.. Ransdelps membership of the
committee charged with the great
work. is incalculable value to his con.
stituents.
Under these circumstances we take
| il that Mr.. Ransdell's return to Con-
eress for the next term, and for as
many terms as he may desire, is a
lforegone conclusion, and we look to
see him nominated this summer,
without opposition and by acclama-
ton
What the district wants is a pains
taking, industrious and jealous rep

The rivers and harbors bill was
reported last Friday by the Senate
committee on commerce. The dis
patch says that '.the bill has been
very materially changed by the Sen.
ate committee, and the forecast OF
increases in the appropriations fol
the lower Mississippi river, as out
lined In these dispatches few days
ago, is borne out by the report now
made public. The bill is increased
to the extent of ten millions of dol
lars. The dispatch also says thai
"the two Louisiana Senators worked
hard and earnestly to increase the
appropriation, not only for the
State, but for the entire Mississippi,
from Cairo south. 1t is a matter oil
much qualification to the friends Of
Senator Foster that all the amend,
ments introduced by him were en-
bodied in the bill, as it comes from
the Senate committee. This is all
the more fattering, as Senator Fos-
ter is not member of the commit
tee. !" Senator Foster is worker.
and is deserving of every nice thing
that can be said about him.

n. g. C. NEWMAN AGAIN.


Below we copy from the
Times Democrat the action taken
bv the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change against the firm of FL. d Z.
Newman. who were expelled a few
months ago for their thieving meth
DDS in cotton consigned to them by
planters, who were at their mercy.
It shows the gall and cheek OF this
firm to want to continue business
after being expelled and branded
as common thieves by the exchange
hut the last action taken by the ex-
change should force them out OF
business and cause them to close
their doors.
Henry Newman and Louis Hyman,
composing the firm, were arraigned
in open court on the charge of en-
bezzlement on Monday. but it is
doubtful if they are ever brought to
trial, and if they are, their money
will be used in preventing convict

action of the supervision committee

sc. ALLGEYER,

Acting Chairman. !"
This is the first time in the history OF
the Cotton Exchange of this or any
other city. so far as is known, that a
cotton exchange has taken such action.
In view of the fact that H. X e.
Newman, Notwithstanding the expul-
sion of the members of the firm from
the Cotton Exchange haye continued In
business and have announced their In
tention of continuing in the cotton fac
tors business in this city, the Cotton
Exchange felt it incumbent upon 1t to
ADOPT the above resolution in order TO
protect the interests of the cotton plan
tiers and to emphasize the action of the
exchange in the expulsion of Messrs.
Newman and Hyman for making false
returns of accounts sales.
Mr.. Allgeyer, the acting chairman OF
the committee ON supervisor, was
asked to explain the effect of the action
and the advantages of supervision.
He replied:
Supervision prevents the planters
from being plundered under the guise
of sampling. In the old days, it fire.
quently happened that twenty pounds
of cotton or so would he taken from a
bale between the time it left the seller
and reached the buyer. and the Cotton
Exchange established its system of
supervision to limit the amount OF cot
ton taken for, and incidental to, samp-
ling. The result is that when planters
send their cotton to this market to
firms whose cotton IS supervised by the
Exchange. they know that they will
not be plundered.
when cotton is sent here, our
supervision department sees to it that
not more than a certain amount of
lose Is taken from the surface in order
TO get at the clean fibre inside, that not
more than certain amount is taken
by the factor for bis selling sample, and
that when the cotton is sold. not more
than a certain amount, a few ounces,
is taken by the buyer for his buyers
sample, Also. our supervisors see that
proper and honest returns of weight are
made. In other words, our supervisors
guarantee minimum waste, absence of
plundering by the taking of unneces-
sary amounts of cotton for samples
and col rectness of weights.
ain the old days, before the supervi-
sion was established, samplers were
free to take off as much lose as they
wanted and as much sample as they
wanted. Frequently the bales were
plundered, with the result that unethi-
cal men could in the course of sea-
son accumulate hundreds of dollars
worth of plundered cotton taken in
small lots. 1t was just SO much taken
out of the pockets of the planters. The
Cotton Exchange supervision protects
planters from being plundered. and the
refusal of the exchange to supervise
any firms cotton means that cotton be-
longing to or in the control of that
firm is not protected from plumbers, or
at least, not by the Cotton Exchange"
