1aTThe Houma Ceres, of the 3lst
December, contains quite a lengthy ar
ticle, in which the author complains of
unfairness in the statistics, collected
and published by P. A. Champomier, of
the sugar crop of Louisiana, being
rather published for the benefit Of specu-
lators than otherwise. We can say,
with figures before our eyes, that so far
as regards our parish, Mr.. Champomier's
statement of 1858 is as correct as such
facts can be ascertained.
We are glad, however. that not only
the country press, but also the planters
themselves, begin to see the Importance
of ascertaining as early as possible, the
precise crop made yearly, 81 that the
market may he regulated accordingly.
Heretofore there has been too great a
tendency to increase the quantity of
sugar made, Oh the part of the pro-
ducers. Let the planters furnish as
soon as possible, a correct statement of
their several crops to their several par
ish papers; then the statistics published
by Mr.. Champomier and others, would
become useless, or if incorrect, their er-
rors could o be exposed. By this
system, no injuries could arise by the
publication of false statements.

Jourdan," the colored Major-drumner
of the 18th regiment U. S. Infantry, who
beat the ~reveille on the morning OF the
9Th of January, 1916, was at his post,
both at the funeral cortege of General
Plauche and at the celebration OF Sun
day last. Old Jourdan wears well.-
Time has dealt gently with him, and his
step is as firm and elastic as it was at
the lines of Chalmette forty-fve years
ago.
The Chasseurs a pied presented a
beautiful appearance on parade. There
is an activity and nimbleness about them
that must render them very effective
in certain kinds Of service, especially
frontier service. IF the people Of Browns
Vile had two such companies, no Corti-
ma, with his ~marauding band, would
give them any approximations.
We hear but little speculation with
regard to the meeting and movements
of the Legislature, which will assemble
next Monday at Baton Rouge. DR.. De-
lony is said to be charged, cooked, and
primed with all kinds Of strong South
ern States Rights resolutions. 1t has
become a confirmed habit with him, and
he can't help it. In Niles Register for
1916 and 1922 or '32, you will find the
proceedings of certain political meetings
held in some town in the State of Ca,
at which the Or. offered long strings of
those same resolutions, which might
compare in size, style and strength, to
the best imported Bologna sausages.
DR.. Plough is making deep burrows
in anticipation of the grand Industrial
Fair, to be held in this city some Of
these days, and in order to illustrate
his plans, has had drawings and designs
made of a magnificent Chrystal Palace,
which will not cost over a million, nor
less than half a million of dollars! 1t
appears to me the DR.. is running his
Plough too deep.
The lovers of the turf had a delight
full week for their sport, which seemed
highly satisfactory to all, especially the
winners. "Uncle jeff" made up in a
measure for the losses of his owner on
the political curse last summer and
fall.
The House of Representatives in Con-
gress has not yet elected a Speaker
The people appear quite Indifferent about
the matter, showing that after all those
assemblies, State and National, with
their concomitants of Governors and
President, are but matters of form-of
but little real utility-that an industri-
Gus people are best off when let alone
True it is there are periods when they
become an absolute necessity, but those
periods are few end far between.

mrWe must avow feelings of CRATE
full satisfaction, when we contemplate
the present prosperous condition OF the
DEMocRAr, now in the third year Of its
existence. Its conduct has taken a
great deal of our time and attention,
as we were determined that it should in
no respect fall short Of the promise Of
it's prospectus. While advocating, with
all the vigor of which we were capable,
the doctrines of National Democracy, as
. laid down in the Cincinnati platform,
cad since expounded in the messages of
President Buchanan, we have ever in
sisted ON State Rights and Southern
Rights, without, however, giving to the
latter an unnecessary prominence.
2i We have also endeavored to keep our
paper as free as possible from personal.
tiles and recrimination. The public is
aware that our temptations to a con.
trary course were more than usually
strong. But our maxim has always
been to live down SANDER, rather than
write it down; and if u subscription
list and advertising patronage be any
test, we believe that we have sue.
ceeded.
It is our determination, now that we
have placed the Democrat on a perma.
nent basis. to strain every nerve, in or
der to enhance it's present value to our
friends and patrons. At no time in our
history, has an interest in politics been
30 general as at the present moment
Interests, vital to all among us. are now
being discussed in every town, hamlet
and house in the Union. We shall have
our say in the general talk. May il
prove profitable to some, if it cannot
meet the approval of all.

70 The Editor Of the Democrat:

10 TIC LdteoT " tWc DeUt0eFdEs
I heartily approve Of the opinions put
out in the letter which appeared in your
last paper, signed "a Tax Payer" The
attempt of our Police Jury to instruct
our Representatives., with regard to
stopping the Atchafalaya and the Bayou
Plaquemine, have met with a well-mer-
tied rebuke. It is to be presumed that
pur Representatives will. take means to
Iascertain the wishes of their constitu-
ents on the subject, without the assist
ance of our Police Jury, whose opinion
ON any matter, outside their legitimate
sphere Of action, constitutes but a mi
mute fraction Of that public opinion by
which Legislators are governed in fran
ing laws.
While admitting that there may be
some doubt as to the propriety of stop
ping the Atchafalaya, what possible OBJ
lection, I would ask, can there be to
closing the Plaquemine, so far as Pointe
Coupee is concerned? None. that I can
see, unless the opposers are abstraction
ists. and opposed on principle to stop
ping bayous as infringing the vested
rights of the Mississippi. Damming
the Piaquemine, nearly seventy miles
below the lower line Of our parish, can
certainly have no effect on the height of
water here in the river. Whereas it's
effects on the interior Of our parish, and
on the other parishes south of us, annu-
ally flooded by the waters of the Plaque
mine, cannot be otherwise than benef-
,cial. The quantity of land that would
D reclaimed by it, is incalculable; while
fhe fscilities for draining even the old
settled portions Of our parish would be
increased eea-fold. Until the Police
Jury Of Pointe coupee took up the cudg-
els, | never hearas word against clos
the P~laquemine, except from those
having lands below its mouth, on the
liver.
/ therefore hope that u Members
viii remain uninfuenced by the dicta-
Of orr Solona Of the Police Jury.
