VOL. LXVIII. SUGAR BOUNTY LOUISIANA LAWYERS TO ARGUE IN ITS FAVOR. Governor Morton a Presidential Candidate, —No More Free Seeds to be Sent out by the Government. Nearly the entire Louisiana Con- gressional Delegation is in Washing- ton, and it is probable that every mem- ber of it will be here next week, when Comptroller Bowler will hear argu- ment in favor of the constitutionality of the sugar bounty law, gen- tlemen, who are mostly lawyers, were at first of the opinion that Comptroll- er Bowler did not have the authority to pass upon the constitutionality of an act of Congress, but that official soon convinced them that had. Now, they are working together argu- ments to convince him to decide in fa- vor of the sugar bounty, but they are not sanguine of They say that if the appropriation is withheld it will cause great distress in Louisi- ana, as the claims are nearly all in the hands of parties who have advanced money thereon to the sugar planters. It begins to look as though the Har- rison Republicans were afraid of Gov- ernor Morton. They have started a very shrewd movement to shelve him as New York's candidate for the nom- ination, or to at least divide the dele- gation from that state, by booming ex- Secretary Tracy, who a of Harrison's cabinet, for the tion. Mr. able man his honesty is unquestioned, but will not stand as well has done if he allows himself to be used in such He is enough of a poli cian to know just what it means. Few men were better known in Washington than William Willis, President Cleveland's coachman, who was buried today. Willis, who died on Saturday, from paralysis, was a son of Jefferson Davis’ valet. He was special favorite with President and Mrs. Cleveland, liked by all who knew him.

In the or- der, the chief of that division in- structed to include in his report of the work done during the last year is fiscal head their ticket, He is a very popu- lar man, has made an excellent Gover- nor and would command the full strength of his party in his state.” The significance of these remarks aris- es from Mr. Leighty being a political opponent of Governor Matthews. A tly State Game Commission, Governor Hastings has approved the bill providing for the appointment of game commissions, defining their du- ties and empowering them to appoint game protectors. He is authorized to appoint six competent citizens, no two of which shall be from the same sena- torial district. They shall receive no compensation for their service, It is provided that the board shall have an office at the Capitol and shall hold meetings upon the first Thurs- day of January and July and at such other times and places within the state as the commissioners shall fix to trans- act business. It is made the duty of the board to protect and preserve the game, song and insectiveous birds and mammals of the state, and to enforce the laws relating to the same. These commissioners are also given the pow- er to appoint ten game protectors, one of whom shall be designated chief pro- HARRISON OUT OF THE RACE, The Ex-President Would not Again Accept the Office, Benjamin Harrison has broken the | silence as regards the presidency. has said that under no fice.

Mr. Bailes is also a Grand Army man | and on several occasions has met talked with President Harrison, in Washington and at Grand encampments. In declining the tation President Harrison said: “Major, I will tell you why I do not | care to go to Syracuse at the time you want me to.

Section four provides that the pro-| as his | fines tectors shall hold office at the pleasure | of the board. It is further provided | that commissioner, protector or other officer authorized by the act shall claim or receive any compensation for his services or for expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties. no cs ento— Bits of Law Worth Noting, There is no law for the bicyele rider on the side walk.

Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, was in Washington several days last week, was asked what he thought of the probabilities of the Senate being reorganized at the coming session of Congress, He replied: “That is not an easy guess. The Republicans wiil not be strong enough to effect a reor- ganization by themselves, and I doubt whether they will care to make a deal with the Populists. It may be—many think it very probable—that the publicans will ask that some of the im- portant chairmanships be conceded to them by the Democrats and that an agreement may be reached on some such basis that would result in a par- tial reorganization. This opinion is based on the prevalent theory that the Republicans would rather make terms with the Democrats than with the Populists.” Representative McMillin, of Tennes- see, is enthusiastic over the Democrat- ic outlook, in his state as well as in the country at large. He says: “The people of Tennessee are in the best of good humor over the magnificent crop and the improved condition of busi. ness, Our iron furnaces are in active operation, and that is about the best evidence of business revival. 1 feel confident that a new era of industrial prosperity is about to set in, and twelve months from now we will have forgot- ten all about the great panic. In fact, it will be surprising if 1806 doesn’t turn out to be a regular boom year, The good times will be a powerful ally of the Democratic party in next year's struggle. With the nation enjoying a hign degree of prosperity it will be dif- ficult to rob the party in power of the credit. The Democrats will go into the campaign with the confidence born of popular approval, while the Republicans will have lost the effect ive cry of hard times.” Representative-elect Leighty, of In- diana is in Washington.

The company’s taxation this year is heavier than ever before, and the state- ment presented to the city controller contains interesting statistics. It gives the location of all the real estate owned by the company, the valuation and the assessment.
