The Coming Country.

The South is in the morning Of a
new day. Her mines, her forests,
her fields and her factories have be-
gun TO attract the tide of population,
says the Hammond Vindicator. The
latest census indicates that her popu%
lation has increased by larger per.
centage than that of the west. The
new regime in Cuba and the opening
of our Isthmian canal will enlarge
her market. BY manufacturing her
own cotton she will easily increase
her annual income 800 per cent. Her
industrial life is fast becoming iden.
tical with that of the North, and her
political sympathies will inevitable
tend IN the same direction.

Home for Lepers.

Senator Platt, of New York, and
Representative Wanger, of Pennsyl-
vania, will introduce bills this week
providing for a commissioner of lep-
rosy and home for lepers. The in
tention of the bill is to have this
nation in harmony with the sugges-
tions for International action of the
Berlin lepel conference.
The bill provides for a commits
sioner of leprosy, who shall be a
physician of ten years practice, and
who shall receive salary of SIS, 900
year. He is to reside in New
York or San Francisco. For the
erection OF buildings for the lepers,
$4,000 is to be appropriated. In
addition, square mile of the public
domain is to be Sc. aside for the col
ony of unfortunates. No lepers are
to be admitted as immigrants, and
persons coming from leprous families
are to be under the strict supervision
of the authorities for at least seven
years.

Census reports show that Louisiana
this year stands first in the produce
tion Of cotton, having an average Of
260 pounds to the acre as against
214 in Indian Terraory, 205 in
Mississippi, and only 15a IN Texas.
In rice we have more than double the
crop of the rest of the United States
combined, and in sugar production
the rest of the country bears about
the same proportion to the Louisiana
crop as punched nickle does to a
double-eagle. II we take notion to
go into other lines of production
Kansas would do well to look to b er
laurels on wheat and Illinois on corn.
We have MT found out nearly all we
are capable of yet.-Lake Charles

Cooper shops in this city that had
been closed and cypress barrel max.
ing suspended for years are reopened
and doing profitable business in the
new industry that has developed by
cane growers converting their pro.
duct into syrup that is much more
profitable than converting it into
sugar. Hundreds of barrels of diff.
ent sizes have been going daily to the
homes of our small farmers, to put up
their syrup in packages for shipment.
If the local prices are obtained else.
where, our small cane growers will
reap rich harvest with their small
holdings. Prices now demanded for
syrup in half barrels is 40e per gall

Brain.foOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is des-
troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking reg
ular doses of Green's August Flower
the favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. a few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver TO healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous. You can get

The Prison Mirror, published in

The Prison Mirror, published in
the Minnesota penitentiary, makes
the following inquiry: "Why is it
that from the first inception of our
paper until the present time we have
not had an editor sojourn in our
midst? Other professions have been
well represented; of preachers we
have had enough to furnish subsiste-
nance for an African chief for a
year; doctors enough to depopulate
State; lawyers enough to start a
small-sized colony in Hades, but no
editors-not single one.''

THE HARM OF
CHEAP LABOR
BY Hon. James A. Hemenway,
United States Congressman from Indiana.

MS cottage nome, tor good cloth
ing and food for his wife and children, and YOU have no use for the
man who wants to degrade him and ruin his home and family by
placing him in competition with Chinese labor. believe in protec-
ton Of American industries, but my countryman, how much more
important it is to PROTECT OUR AMERICAN WAGE-EARNER
who has had SO much to do with making this the greatest nation on
earth.
The injury already done to American labor on the Pacific coast.
and to a considerable extent all over the country, by Chinese labor
has been very great. There is no telling how many Chinese there are
in our far west. The census is entirely unreliable on that point, sim
ply because the Chinese hide and skulk and evade enumeration and
identification as much as possible. There are over 10000 of them in
San Francisco alone, and they swarm all over the Pacific and noun
tain states. They have practically monopoized the labor field in the
Alaska fisheries, and in the Pacific states they have driven to the wall
our American working men and women in the lines Of household serv-
ice, cigar making, boot and shoe making, bag making, tailoring, laun-
denng, farming, brick making, mine working and railroad working,
not to speak Of many other industries.
But need not tell over again this old familiar tale of how our
honest, brave American working men and women on the frontier
have been wounded thus in the house Of their friends. The work
ingmen Of the United States-the backbone of this country-stand
as a unit, shoulder to shoulder, on this question. They may differ
as to other questions, but they are unanimou in their appreciation of
this one great overshadowing peril and menace.

LOOKING BACKWARD.
Extracts From the Lexington Caucasian,
May Z, 1870.

Our Mails.-Our postmaster has fin
ally received such information from
the departments as warrants both him
and the people Of the city in asking a
change Of service in our mails from the
little botheration over the river, to a
line of hacks. The department wishes
US to be served in the best way, and
only awaits petition of the people to
make the desired change. At present,
we do not count certainly on a mail at
any particular time by the St. Joseph
