around the tree some time in October or No

On the 10th inst, in the Kellogg Legisla-
ture, the Committee on Public Buildings SUBJ
mitted report on the bill to provide for the
repair of the public buildings, recommending
that two hundred thousand dollars be appre-
priated to repair the State House at Baton
Rouge. fifty thousand to repair the Insane
Asylum, one Thousand dollars to repair the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and three thousand
dollars to repair the Pcnitentiary, making d
total of S254, 600.
The Committee eerecemmended that the above
amounts be appropriated, believing that it
would be economy to the State, and that the
public interests would be better subserved by
timely repair of public institutions.

A SENSIBLE PLAN.-The Western Grangers
have adopted the sensible plan of settling their
disputes by means of arbitrameut whenever a
breach may occur between the Oranges or
members thereof. A jury of neighbors and
mutual friends. especially selected for the &C.
casion, eomposes the court of arbitration.
Each side tells its own story, and there is no
delay in the decisions. The idea is to dispense
entirely with lawyers and regular courts.

IN. o. Pieayune, Feb. Is.

The annual message of Gov. Smith, of Geor-
gla, Is replete with instruction to those who
constantly charge that State ruled by Con
servatives can never prosper. Louisiana has
with the cry Of Industrial Development, "
have developed nothing except ruin and bank
ruptcy. Millions have been added to the pub
lie debt, and yet no railroad has penetrated
to Texas: The sugar interest has been pros
trated. The cotton fields have proved unre-
munerative. The public schools. upon which
vast sums of money have been squandered.
have exhibited no satisfactory result. The
state Penltentiary appears to be conducted
by persons unknown to the State, and abso-
iutely strangers to their own agents On
every hand is prof1igacy, imbecility and out
rage.
Comparing the condition of Georgia with
that OF Louisiana, We are startled with the
following exhibit:
1873 Georoia. Ionis;.n.

Printing .-.-....-.--... 90 900 l63,564
State tax, x-:,.;-.-...----.43 mills. 81. mills.
The taxable property Of Georgia is valued
at $3.50, 900: that of Louisiana at s22S. 600,
0oO. The population of Georgia is |, ,lS4,0 900:
mat OF Louisiana is only 726,000. Yet the
State OF Georgia spends only S2,722, 600 for all
purposes. including interest on her public debt
whereas Louisiana spends, for the year 1873
alone, not less than So, 1896, 600, aud the tax
payers payer have paid into the treasury more than
$4,000 600.
The State of Georgia sent commission of
her most eminent men to Wall street and Sc
cured an amieable adjustment with her cred
itors, whereby she was freed from her invalid
bonds and ali manner of fraudulent debt. Her
bonds since then have ruled higher in the mar
ket than those of any Southern State. and
were last year negotiated at par
In the matter of education, the State of
Georgia, with State appropriation of $3.50
0O0, has accomplished more efficient work than
Louisiana with her 100000. Her public
schools are numerous and well attended, and
her university last year matriculated three
hundred and eighteen students.
Let the Legislature Of Louisiana learn q
lesson from the Conservative Government of
Georgia! Let the public debt of the State
be adjusted fairly and honorably after CONSUL
tation with her ereditors Let the question
be removed from the courts and cleared of all
those legal complications which now threaten
to tarnish her honor, and add to- insteatd of
diminishing the burden upon the taxpayers
But above all, and foremost of all, let the gem
eral expenses of the State be reduced on q par
with those of Georgia, Alabama and Virginia.

Does the Order of the Patrons Of
Husbandry Want an Orqan2

As member aud friend of the Grange
We saylmost decidedly, in our opinion il does
not. We submit to the candid men and
women of the Grange, tho following reasons
for this expression Of opinion, and ask in
turn that they give through this journal their
views upon this subject.
In the first place, any journal which will
reach the Oranges Of the State, is MS capa.
Bile of printing correctly ruling, law,
change or order, as another. To make il
necessary for members Of the Grange to
take any certain paper to secure Official in
formation is transcendlng the power of any
officers or set Of officers connected with the
Grange, aud violation of those principles
Of personal liberty and equal justice upon
which the Order rests. Another point which
follows, is that any order, law or ruling
which can be made public through paper is
as official when correctly printed, as if Il was
printed 10 what may be called an official
organ. Besides these reasons there are
the more vital ones to the Order, viz that
ofplacing in the hands Of one man the repu,
tation and character Of the Grange. Clothe
a journal with official authority and every
utterance in the paper is taken as evidence
for or against the Order. This power may
fall into good hands, or it may be used for
personal agrandizement and the most selfish
purposes at the expense of the Order. Again
it is most important that the press, especially
the Agricultural press, at this time fulfill
fearlessly their duty as sentinels upon the
watch tower, guarding alike the good of the
Grange from foes within as we'll as enemies
from without.
Make paper an official organ and you
rob IL Of its independence, and when that is
gone, its integrity to itself and its readers
has departed. We want no trickling syco-
Pbancy to the Patrons Of Husbandry and the
officers to secure patronage. The Kansas
Farmer will labor INCREASINGLY for the good
of this Order which we believe has q noble
mission to perform in raising the dignity Of
Kansas farmers and farming, making think
ers where there were only workers, develop.
ing the social element in our lives, almost
worked out hitherto, and giving to the next
generation Of farmers better business and e.
nRncial managers. Every effort Of laborers
to better their condition has a friend in this
journal, but we protest now and always will
against the placing in the hands of any edi.
tor that authority which comes Of making a
paper an official organ. Let every paper
stand on its merit as regards the Patrons of
Husbandry, and by its vigor, its enterprise
and the labor it does for the good Of the
Grange and other farmers organizations,
prove its usefulness and value to them
