GROUND-TwELVE THOUSAND ACRES
OF GAME WORTH 100000.
The success which has attended the
efforts of the Blooming Grove Park As
sociatiou has been unparalleled in the
history of such enterprises. The original
design of the halfdozen gentlemen who
projected 1t was to establish within a
reasonable distance of New York city a
game and fish preserve in which they and
their friends could hunt and fish. But
they have done more The Club mum
bers over one hundred members the
preserves have become a Park of more
than $4,000 acres, plentifuIIy stocked
with game of all kinds, the natural stream ms
being filed with the finest of fish; aud
the Club house is already looked upon as
4 Summer resort. The confirmation of
their success has lately been furnished by
the action of the Directors in limiting the
number of members to be admitted at the
present. rate of shares (s450) to 200
After that number has been secured the
shares are to be advanced to 81 900 and
new certificates issued. The Association
is also about to publish a complete topo.
graphical map of Pike County, Pa, of
which Blooming Grove Park is the heart.

Silk Manufacture

Many persons suppose that the grea
bulk OF the silk goods used in this coun
try are manufactured abroad, while few
perhaps, really understand the extent o
the business OF manufacturing silks in the
United States. Iu Patterson, New JERSEY
there are six teen fourishing factories
running 10, coo spiudles, employing 3 800
workmen, whose wages annually aggregate
$500 900, while the capital invested
amounts to S2,000,000 Philadelphia has
twenty factories, with 1900 employees
In New York, there are about 5000
persons employed in the manufacture OF
trimmings, ribbous and dress goods, em
plOying capital of S2,5OO,000 There
are also smaller factories In other parts OF
the State, competing successfully with
foreign manufacturers, while in New
Eng gland many fourishing mills, employ
ing large number Of work men, exist
The raw silk imported into this country
by manufacturers amounts in value an
uually to over S6,000,00 while the
fabrics manufactured from this raw
material are valued at $50, 100000.
California Is, by nature, it is believed
the best silk producing country under
the sun, yet there has not been that
encouragement extended to this euterpise
which it should have received 1t l.
elai med by those who favor silk culture
aud manufacture in that section, that the
bankers and capitalists will not extend
that aid aud encouragement which is es
eestial to success. The day is not far
distant when California will produce
large quantities of raw silk and manufac
ture it hsfere it leaves the State When
properly l0ssared and encouraged, it will
prove noTe profitable than any other

The Police Jury Question.

some months ago, We stated that inquiries
had been made of us in regard to the failure
for several years past, to hold an election il
this Parish for members of the Police Jury
At the time we could not give satisfactory
answer to these inquiries. We were in hopes
however, that some one better posted than
ourselves-some one who was initiated in all
the political movements of the Warmotb
school of politics, would do so. In this we
were mistaken. We have recently ascertained
how the law on the subject of Police Juries
stood up to 1S70,-and what were the changes
made therein at later period,-ls71, by the
Legislature.
Before the late war members of the Police
Jury were elective; the law remained. we be-
heVe' unchanged in this respect up to 1870. In
io'l the Legislature made the office one OF ap-
polntment by the Governor until November
1872, when it becomes again elective.
But this does not explain the failure to hold
elections for several years prior to the change
Our people have felt that the amount of Par
lsh taxes levied upon and collected from them
since the war, was grievous burden; difficult
for all, impossible for some to bear. For sew
eral years it equalled and sometimes largely
exceeded the amount of the State taxes. Itis
not to be wondered at that an interest should
have been awakened among them in reference
to this subject of the Police Jury. That they
should desire to know why they have had, we
oelleVe, but one opportunity since the war
period OF seven years,-to select men of their
choice as members of that, to them, import
ant body. Why the Governor of the State did
not, when it was his duty to do so, order an
election for members of the Police Jury, as
the law required should be done.
There are men in this Parish, we believe,
who could have prevented this outrage upon
the rights of the people, had they desired to
do so Why was it not done9
it is time that this kind of things should
cease. 1t is time til at this outraged and op-
pressed people should authoritatively demand
that it should cease;-that men in whom thew
have reposed trust should be held to strict |
account for their shortcomings. An import
Int election is approaching, and it is to be
hoped that when it takes place in November |
lext, this people will rise up as one man and |
Danish from all participation in our State and !
municipal government all those who have been
weighed and found wanting
Under the law of 1871. we are entitled to
'ote at the next general election, in November
lext, for members of the Police Jury Let the
'eople see to it, that they be not again de-
rauded of this right. The time has arrived
Fhen we should cease to complain;-when we
hould DO our duty to ourselves and our child
en-. We have been amused long enough with
of reform, retrenchment and Dur
ication that have dropped from the lips of
very political mountebank in the country,
ke over-ripe fruit from a tree.
