The habit of Representative Caruth of interpolating some pointed question and spoiling a climax when members are delivering a speech, as he did recently when he asked Mr. Quigg at what period in history and in what country gladiators were booted and Spurred, had a strong illustration in the fifty first congress, says the Washington Post.

I The flooding of the streets is a. serious problem and one for the city authorities to solve as soon as possible. us consider some of the simplest elements of the question. A square of the city may be put down at 300 feet each way, or UO.OOO square feet. Supposing that 54 inches of rain fell on each square foot in half an hour, which, is more than fell on Monday, there would be on each square in that time something over WOO gallons.

Allowing one half of this for instance, to go into any street gutter leading from the river to the lake, it would follow that on the square next to the river each gutter, say of Gravier street; would have to carry 4500 gallons In half an hour in order to keep the street clear. But on the second square away from the river there would be 4500 gallons more for each gutter in Gravier street, and on each succeeding square going from the river to the lake there would be still another 9000 gallons in the street. Camp street is the sixth from the river going towards the lake, and so at the crossing of Camp and Gravier streets the culverts would each be required to pass six times 4500 gallons of water, or an amount equal to 7, 000 gallons. Let it be understood that the grade of the streets, and, by consequence, of the gutters and culverts, leading from the river to the rear of the city can never be materially increased, and, therefore, the flow of the water cannot be accelerated by any ordinary device. There is already slope enough to cause a good strong current which will carry the water to the canals without difficulty, provided channels of sufficient dimensions shall be provided.

To check the water at any point will cause serious consequences, and that is just what is being done by the insufficient culverts. From these conditions it is plain that the quantity of water will be increased by so much for each square towards the lake, and, therefore, the street gutters and the street culverts must have a constantly increasing capacity as the water progresses towards the lake. A culvert which would pass the water at Tchoupitoulas street would not be able to carry it at Camp street, while the culvert at Baronne street must be proportionately larger, because it has vastly more water to carry. The simple fact, then, is that the capacity of the culverts at each street, crossing in all the highways leading, from the river "to the lake, or, more properly, to the drainage canals in the; rear of the city, must be increased to; meet the demands of the constantly increasing amount of water required to' be passed throughr. The culverts at Tchoupitoulas street must be so adjusted in dimensions as to be able to carry the water which comes to them from the river side of that street.

Then the culverts at Magazine street must be larger, and those at Camp street still larger, and so there must be an increase of capacity all the way to the' drainage canals. As to the canals.j their dimensions will have to be adjusted to the burdens they will be re quired to bear, according to the same rule applied to the street gutters and culverts. These considerations are presented to the City Engineer, and on some such basis he will have to reorganize the entire culvert system of the city. until this be done, no system of canals and pumping machinery in the rear of the city will bo able to keep the streets clear of water. No pumping in the rear will make the water in the gutters in the front run any faster.

Since the slope of the waterways cannot be increased, their dimensions must be. THE ISSUES OF THE NEXT CAMPAIGN. Very few days i will elapse before Congress will have adjourned, and the politicians will be on their way home to begin a campaign for re election. The gigantio Sugar Trust having controlled in its interest Congressional action on the sugar schedule of the tariff, the politicians of the House have found it absolutely necessary to make some exertion to appease their indignant constituents, and so they have rushed through the House bills to admit sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire for fencing from foreign countries free of duty. The politicians who desire re election to Congress have got to afce some serious issues, particularly in the West and South.

One of these is free silver coinage. The farmers in the West and in the South have been suffering for several years past from extreme low prices for their great crops. Wheat has ranged dangerously near, to fifty cents a bushel in the face of a belief which long obtained that it could be sold for less than a dollar while the Southern farmers have had to wrestle with 6 cent and 7 cent cotton, when they were dreaming of the and 14 cents 'which were Jong the standard figures for that staple. And they have got into their heads a notion that the prices of farm products have been dragged down by the decline in the value of silver, and that it was not until a silver dollar had come to be intrinsically worth about one half its face value that wheat and cotton jumped down to one half their 'former prices. There is nothing strange in the fact that vast commercial and financial disturbances in the great money markets of Europe, caused by enormous bankruptcies in South America and Australia, combined with the collapse of general speculative schemes and extensive labor strikes, should have produced widespread Industrial stag nation and greatly reduced the ability of the people, the masses of the consumers, to buy; and hence the prices of staple articles of consumption have seriously declined.

On the contrary, this is just the result that should have taken place. So much for wheat and cotton. As for silver, its value had been declining If or 'years in the markets of the because it had been demonetized by the' chief commercial nations, and, as the United States was the only great nation that continued to coin it, the astounding fact was presented to the world that while 37X 1 4 grain of silver coined into an American dollar were worth 100 cents, an ounce of silver containing 480 grains could be bought in the market for between 60 and 70 cents. 5 The prices of cotton, wheat and silver alL declined together; but it was no more the fall in silver that brought down wheat and cotton than that it was the decline in farm products that dragged down silver. A silver dollar in the United States is worth just as much as ever it was, because, the Government has engaged to maintain it bo, and this fact dissociates silver entirely from other commodities in the market But that fact makes no difference to the people who believe that the United.

JStates'shquld and can maintain; every ounce of silver, in the world at the yalue of $1 No one nation can do that, unless it should purchase and hold all the" silver; but so long as it is sold In the markets to all comers, an ounce 'of silver will be worth only what people are willing to pay for it. But suppose every ounce of silver were worth $1 2, and that all nations would accept our silver dollars for 100 cents each. They would have no effect on the prices of cotton and wheat. The consumptive demand for shirts and bread is one thing, and the price of silver is Cotton and wheat are necessaries, and silver is not. Hut these facts do not affect the notion that the demonetization of silver in Europe is 'the cause of the decline in American farm products, and as this dectrine prevails largely among the people of all the agricultural districts, it is going to be made the basis of the next Congressional campaign.

Congress is going to be required to grant a free coinage, without regard to what may be done' in Europe. The Michigan Ke publican platform declares for it; and the Georgia Democratic; platform is based on it. Free silver coinage is going to be the keynote of the fall campaign, and hostility of the West to the East; of agriculturists to manufacturers; of the States of the West to the creditor States of the East, are going to be the side issues. A powerful effort will be made to utilize the agitation between labor and capital for this campaign; but it will too seriously complicate matters for an open political sectional issue to be built upon it. In the South, the Democrats have been forced to borrow Populist thunder to work on the people; In the West the Republicans are doing the same thing.

All are against the But the capitalists of the East will endeavor to control Congress ail the same. This control is the only explanation possible for the disregard by Congress for the Louisiana sugar farmers, when the interests of the sugar trusts were being so carefully protected. The next Congress is going to be vastly more radical than is the present, because the men who shall be elected have got to make all sorts of pledges. Just how they will be fulfilled is another matter. The' great trusts, corporations and capitalists of the East will never surrender their power over Federal legislation so long as they can maintain the control under which they, have prospered.

They are prepared to do much to maintain themselves. But the. campaign is going to be made on very radical issues. There is no doubt' of that. WHAT LOUISIANA GOT.

Probably no class of the population who were deserving of consideration at the hands of Congress have ever been accorded worse treatment than has been dealt out to the sugar planters of Louisiana. They are tillers of the soil and original creators of wealth. They produce an article for which, if it were not made in this country, the American people would have to pay to foreigners some furnish employment and the means of living to near half a million industrious people, and they occupy and cultivate lands which have been, at great expense and enormous cost, reclaimed from annual overflow and converted into fruitful fields and the homes of a busy and productive population. Well, these people have been denounced in Congress and legislated against. A bounty which they had earned under a guarantee of Congress has been taken away from them, and the lower house of Congress has just voted not only to deprive them of what they have honestly earned, but to destroy their industry and reduce them and their dependents to utter poverty.

And while, this has been done under a pretense of striking atjthe Sugar Trust, the whole trend of legislation has been in favor of the trust, and all the consideration that has been accorded to the Louisiana sugar industry was granted because it was impossible to help the trust without doing something for the great domestic sugar interest. This is all that Louisiana has got from Congress, and, so far as the House can do it, that has been taken away. But it is not likely that the free sugar bill will pass the Senate, not because that body has any regard for Louisiana, but because the Government cannot afford to lose the $40,000,000 of revenue which it must have out of imported sugar. Louisiana sugar producers will soon come to realize that they have got no friends. They owe no thanks to anybody, save their Senators and Representatives in Congress.

These have fought for them faithfully and to the end. Senator" Caffery' has been a hero all. through the arduous campaign in which sugar has figured, and Senator Blanehard has stood at his side and never for a moment blenched under the tremendous odds they had to fight. Messrs. Price, Meyer and Bob ertspn' have championed sugar on the floor of the House, while Mr.

Boatner, not" from a. sugar district, has struci some good blows. Congressman Davey has voted and worked, but, being a new man, has been at a disadvantage in so grave a crisis. No, Louisiana has not many to thank, but let her be grateful to the few have served her most faithfully. THE TORPEDO BOAT EKICSSON.

Yesterday the torpedo boat Ericsson, which was built for the Government at Dubuque, Iowa, reached this city, after a several weeks trip down the river from the place where she was built. This vessel, which is a first class torpedo boat, which is expected to develop great speed, is described at length in our news columns, and her arrival here might have attracted no more attention than that of other gunboats were it not for the fact that she was built away In the heart of the country, more than a thousand miles from tide water, and that her building was an. experiment which has been watched with Interest all over the country. i If the career of the Ericsson demonstrates that torpedo boats and gunboats capable of doing good service at sea can be built In the interior of the country on the great rivers, from whence they can be brought down to tide water, an important element in the naval strength of the country will have been demonstrated. It is evident that in time of war our naval stations and yards on the coast would be.

attacked, and would; in most cases, be rendered useless for the construc tiort of vessels. With the ability to construct naval vessel of light draft In the where they, would be far removed from danger of capture, the country would be doubly protected against accident. tThe successful building of the torpedo boat Ericsson! at Dubuque proves that no serious obstacle remains in the way of 5 naval vessels being built in this city. With the proper enterprise, a suitable plant for construction of at least small vessels, such as torpedo and gunboats, could be provided. A little energy is all that is needed to bring this about.

THE BICE TARIFF. In the excitement attending the blow aimed at the sugar interests by the closing events attending the passage of the tariff bill, the injury done the rice Interests was temporarily overshadowed. The acceptance of the Senate bill caused the reduction in the duty on unclean rice secure through the manipulation of the New York importers to become law. This will deprive the domestic rice producers of the protection accorded them by tha duty fixed upon clean rice, for the reason that, with the margin existing between clean and unclean rice, under the bill importers will be encouraged to bring in large amounts of unclean rice, which can be cleaned at a small cost and placed on the market in competition with the domestic product. While it is now impossible to remedy the defect in the bill.

It should not be forgotten that the definition of unclean rice, which prevents' clean rice mixed with flour from coming in under that head, still remains in the new law. The domestic rice interests should take steps to see that this definition is observed, and that clean rice mixed with flour be no longer permitted to come in at low rate of duty as unclean. The bill defines unclean rice as rice from which the outer skin has been removed, but with the inner cuticle still on. Such rice would require the whole process of pounding and brushing to clean it, while the so called unclean rice which the Importers formerly brought in required only brushing, which could be done at a nominal cost per pound. THE OUTLOOK FOR SUGAR.

Now that the excitement attending the events in the national House of Representatives on Monday has somewhat subsided, it is possible to gauge the situation with respect to the new tariff bill more accurately. The bill, having been accepted by both houses of Congress, is now in the hands of the President, and, as it is certain that there will be no veto, it will become law and take effect at once. Under the provisions of the bill there will be an ad valorem duty on all sugars, and on sugars above No. .16 Dutch standard in color there will be an additional duty of 1 Sc per pound, and a still further duty of 10c is to be levied upon sugars imported from countries paying an export bounty. The protection implied in the sugar schedule outlined above is all that the Louisiana sugar producers can count on, as the efforts to secure the bounty on the growing crop do not, from present promise to prove successful.

The failure of Congress to allow the bounty on the present crop lifter it had been practically earned, and after licenses to produce sugar this year had already been issued, is a great piece of injustice; but it is hardly within the probabilities that Congress can be brought to recognize the injustice of its act, at least at the present session. As far as the bill providing for absolutely free sugar, which passed the House is concerned, while it yet remains a danger to be feared, It appears much less likely to pass" the Senate than seemed to be the case at first. Although free sugar has a large number of advocates in the Senate, there are still some Senators who believe in a sugar tariff, and, with the of debate in the upper house, the friends of sugar could delay the passage of the free sugar bill for a long time. Moreover, it is known that the Senators are weary of the session, and are anxious to adjourn, hence it is not probable that a quorum could be maintained for any length of Another reason why the free sugar bill is not likely to pass the Senate is the fact that the absence of the sugar tax would deprive the Government of 540,000,000 of revenue which is sorely needed. It is reported that Secretary Carlisle pointed this fact out to the Senators yesterday, and intimated that the President would in all probability veto the bill should it pass the Senate.

With sugar once more firmly placed among the articles producing large revenue, it is likely that it will be maintained indefinitely in the: tariff, as it is admitted on all hands that it is the best revenue producing article in the list While, therefore, our sugar planters have just reason for feeling aggrieved at the treatment they have received from Congress, let them, nevertheless, take courage. The sugar industry is well worth making a desperate effort to maintain, despite the adverse legislation of which it has been made the victim, AS TO THE CALLAHAN TRIAL. The Picayune does not desire to comment on 'the case of Councilman Callahan now about to "be placed on trial upon a charge of felony. The Picayune is perfectly satisfied to leave the conduct of the case In the care of Judge Moise and the able counsel for the State. But there is one matter, in which, a word of suggestion may not be improper.

It is brought to notice through an incident which occurred in the court last evening. It appears that when Mr. Walker, of counsel for the accused made a spirited and rather excited attack upon the prosecution's method of Interrogating talesmen who were being examined as to their fitness for jury duty, when he was supposed to have scored a point he was loudly applauded. Now, a courthouse during the progress of an important trial is no place for loud demonstrations In any behalf. Such applause can easily give notice to a jury that the courthouse is filled with an audience whose sympathies are in a certain direction.

The men on jury may be of the best class, better than those who are commonly chosen for jury duty, but, aH the same, they are human and not insensible to human influences. These outbursts of applause, whether for or against the prisoner at the bar, are capable of exercising undue influence upon some persons, and it will not do to assume that the jury will be free from such impressions. Neither the defense nor the prosecution will be allowed, as the Picayune trusts, to pack the courtroom with people, whose excited demonstrations can give notice to the jury of the nature of their sympathies and partisanship. This is a case of overwhelming importance, and no influence, however powerful, and no device, however ingenious, should be allowed to Intervene to cheat justice. With these suggestions, the Picayune confidently leaves the entire matter in the hands' of an honest judge and able counsel.

A Most Useful SchdoL. Through th curtesy of Booker T. Washington, tts principal, the Plcayun. ha received the thirteenth animal treport of ths Tuskegee normal Industrial Institute, situated at uskegee, and la pleased to notice the good showing made by this most useful institution. There is not the sooth an Institution that Is doing for the negroes what this school Is doing.

It aim is not only 'to develops the minds of its pupHs, though this is not neglected, but to give tnem practical instruction In that most necessary of mil acquirements, the art of malting a living. It turns out scholars, but far better than that, it turns out practical farmers, blacksmiths, cobblers, printers, "brlckmakers, carpenters and tradesmen of other sorts. There are no less than twenty three distinct branches of; the industrial arts taught at the school, with more or less thoroog If to a sign of great hopefulness for the negroes, and for the south, that as the principal says, "the colored people throughout the country are beginning to demand Industrial education in way tbat they have never done before." All the industrial departments of the school nave been full to overflowing during the. past year, many applicant have had to be turned away for lac of room. Besides thus educating his pupils to the best and highest sense, the principal has broadened the usefulness of his Institution immensely toy organizing the Tusteges negro conference, which brings together not the politicians of the race, but Its preachers and teachers, Its farmers and mechanics to discuss the actual condition of the race, industrially, morally and socially, and devise measures for its true advancement.

Thls'confer enoe has exerted already a great power for good, and Its Influence Is but Just begun. The institution Is In need of enlarged accommodations for the pupils who are anxious to share Its benefits, and It Is a need that appeals most strongly to the philanthropic and benevolent A Bull in Church. A handsome bull created quite a sensation In a Newark church, one of the largest and most fashionable In the city, the other day by walking into the main eisle and taking a view of the services. It was one of a drove that was being taken to the abattoirs, and not caring to go In that dlreotlon, he chose his own path, much to the annoyance of the drovers, and went toward the more crowed portions of the city at a rattling pace. Arriving in front of a large restaurant, he took it into his.

head to go In, and in he went. The guests and waiters at once decided to quit the place, and the bull at his leisure sampled the food on the' various tables. The proprietor "finally summoned up courage to make a demonstration, and the bull retired to the street. He went on until he came to the church, when he turned and went In, marched half way up the aisle and stood looking about him. The congregation cowered in their pews, until an elderly gentleman walked firmly up behind the animal, took him by his tall and pulled hitu Out of church.

The bull did not object, and by the time he arrived at the sidewalk, the drovers put In an appearance and took charge of him. A Successful Electric Carriage. A recent English invention is said to come nearer to being the Ideal electric carriage than anything that has hitherto appeared. The carriage, which was recently tested la. London, 'with most satisfactory results, is in appearance much like an ordinary carriage, such a horaes are used with except that the wheels are smaller, and are furnished with thick pneumatic tires.

The framework Is built of weldless steel tubes. The front pair of wheels are controlled by a tangent screw, which to governed by a fcmaU wheel at the driver's aide, enabling him to steer the apparatus at will. The motive power Is electricity, which Is carried In a series of accumulator cells, fitted upder the seats, out of sight and out of the way. The whole machine weighs about 1000 pounds, and can make on a good road a speed of some fifteen mile an hour. It to said that it will run fifty mile without being recharged and that this operation to very quickly performed.

Married His Own Step. Daughter. A curious case has been disclosed toy a letter recently addressed by Charles C. Tavel, Swiss charge d'affaires at Washington, to Attorney. General Hancock, of New York.

It appears that a Swltzer named Gerber Is married to his stepdaughter, and Tavel wants' to know whether such a marriage is lawful in New York atate. Gerber married In Switzerland a Swiss widow, who had a daughter from a first After a few years they got divorced upon Judgment of a competent tribunal. Ittely Gerber come to New York with ths daughter of his former wife and married her in New York. A marriage between teprather and stepdaughter being forbidden toy the Swiss law, the Swiss authorities refuse to recognize the validity of this marriage, unless, however, eueh a marriage would be legal according to the laws of the atate of New York. Id uch case the marriage, perhaps, could be declared valid in Switzerland.

Dueling in Mexico. Official circles in the City of Mexico are much stirred up over a duel which occurred a few days since in the suburbs of that city between Congressman Francisco Romero and Jose Verastegnl, chief of the government stamp department. The quarrel was, as appears to be usual In such cases, about a woman, and th principals were seconded by some of knost prominent men in Mexico Ae president of the senate, editors ofthe leading newspapers and generals of the army. Verastegnl was shot dead a the ground. The affair to of such procdnence that to thought the shock tf public opinion will have the effect of uttlng a stop to the rising tide of fueling la Mexico, and will lead to the passing of stringent laws for its supprsision.

It to said that there are no les than seven duels' pending In Mexico between men of high position. 3 The Invincibie It appears that MexlS is now engaged again In exterminates the Yaqui Indians, and, with thetasl success.
