RENTEs.-Many of Our readers may
not have a fair understanding of the
word "rentes," which occurs SO con-
stantly just now in our foreign dis
patches, and whose rise and fall seem
10 constitute the financial barometer
Of Paris. They are the funded debt
Of France, not, however, in the form
Of bonds, but simply loans from the
people. These loans are entered to
the credit of the lenders on the gov
srnment ledgers and draw q specified
rate of interest. The holders of the
gebt are called RENTERS" and the
fluctuations in its value denote pop
lar distrust or confidence in the gov
eminent.

What Germany May Take from

It is believed in London that one
OF the objects of the war on the
part of Germany will be the recovery
Of the provinces of Alsace and Lor-
ralne, which contain the modern de-
partments Of Meuse, Moselle, Meur-
the, Vosges. Lower Rhine and Upper
Rhine.

IT NOW appears that the Civil Ser
vice Appropriation bill, passed by
Congress in the closing hours of the
session, has in it a clause providing
that public lands which have been
withdrawn for any reason, and after
ward restored, shall thereafter be
subject only to homestead and pre-
empt.'oR entry. This action will Sc
cure to the exclusive use of actual

Germany is united. 1t was not so
a week ago; the factions still ranked
and gloWed in the German breast;
to-day nothing is there but a brotherly
feeling, a sentiment of hate against
an aggressive tyrant. Naturally u
hopes are with our flag. The victory
of Prussia will be the fall OF despot-
ism, the fall OF q system which has
made slaves of Europeans; the fall of
a system which has spread damnabIe
poverty and ignominy, and, above all,
it will be the erection of a great king
dom in the center of Europe, a king
dom which will be peace in reality
and not In word only.
Therefore, 1t is not strange that the
Germans and Americans are with us.
A finer instinct makes the American
see the finer and truer nature of the
German. He knows that the dav Is
not far distant when balance of power
in Europe will be a name only. He
knows that IN case of need he a
safely rely on German arms. It has
not forgotten U help in the late
struggle. Therefore. America is on
the German side. Is it not rieht-
nay, is it not a duty that we all should
helpE L DO not call on you as Ger
man born. He who could forget
father or mother, can not be a good
citizen. Let Us not fear that Ameri-
ca will mistake or misconstrue our
action. We could not love our new
country, our land of adoption, if we
did forget our old country, the land
of our birth.
Let US help and act at the same
time in accordance with tire laws
here. These laws do not forbid our
sympathy, nor do they forbid Us to help
the sick and wounded. Let us then
be united and give what we can, and
let US daily. send to our brothers over
the water the message: Fight for
Fatherland. The Germans of the
whole world are witE you"

I have seen an address TO you in
(which John w. Todd announces him.
self an independent Democratic candi.
zdate for the State Senate, on the ground
that the regular nominee of the Demo
cratic Party is in favor of closing Will
How Chute; thereby injuring the navi-
cation of Lake Bisteneau, and that he
does not reflect the will of the people
1 Of the District. In short, he says was
Nominated in the interest of persons
) DESTROYS of closing Willow Chute. In
reply, / assert that not a man who cast
vote in that Convention was, for q
moment Influenced by thought Of
4 W'7lloc Ckute.
At the time of my nomination propo-
sails for bids had been accepted, and
athe work adjudicated to P. j. Kennedy,
large levy contractor of the State.
Twill here say my connection with
Willow Chute has arisen from a little
pleasantly used to a neighbor who is
much interested In the matter, and that
am in no manner personally OF pecu-
niarily benefited by its being closed.
and that majority of those citizens Of
Bossier Parish who urged my nomina-
stion are Indifferent. if not opposed, to
4 the closing of said Bayou.
The closing of it is the work of the
Board of Public Works. - for which j
cannot be expected so be responsible;
sand my power to close or prevent being
selosed is no greater than Mr.. Todd's,
as it will be done before the meeting
/ of the next Legislature.
| do not pretend to say that it will
sor will not injure the navigation of
Lake Bisteneau but / do say that am
not pledged to, nor interested in, the
!. closing thereof, any statement to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
I Why does Mr.. Todd make the clos
ing of Willow Chute pretext for play
ing into the hands of the Radical Par
tyl If he is honest in the matter he
should be satisfied with this explana-
/ ton and Withdraw. However, have nc
depreciation that he will do this, for,
if rumor be true. certain Radical infu-
sences had more to do with his candida
scy than his assumption that | was in
favor Of closing Willow Chute.
Iwish to say to my fellow citizens
gof this District, that, as the Regular
4 Democratic Candidate for the State
SENATE, l expected opposition-not on
Ethe ground pretended-but that am
zan Incorporating opponent OF Radi-
sealism. Every effort should be made
at this election, by all true lovers Of
! the States interest to send Demo
Ecratic representation to the State Leg,
sislature; and the way to do SO is to
Sgive your undivided support to men
untainted with Radicalisin. / am only
