THE LADD.ANTOINE FIGHT.

A BULLETIN reporter, thirsty for more
knowledge of the Ladd-Antone war, yester-
day interviewed the small boy who some
times holds their horses on Dryades street
The reporter gave the boy pack of cigar
cites, to open negotiations. He asked: 4" Is
it not exceedingly predetermined whether
these two political asprants will ever make
the amende h0nOrablee"
The boy looked up at the State-House,
winked knowingly and said: Yer see, boss,
these here fellers have an eye on me and !
can't say much, but the boys round here
think just like you"
els not the political future OF the Repub-
liean party dark with ominous clouds in
this State ~ limited the reporter
"Oh yes, boss the Publican party is very
dark. cause yer knows theyse mostly cullerd
folks"
Rallying again, the reporter ventured-
DO you not think this a battle for the
loaves and fishes!'
The boy lighted cigarette, and squirting
towards Kellogg's office, whispered: "There
yer right-'tis a fight for the fishes and
loaves. Mister Kellogg, he takes the loaves
and let's the niggers go out fishing for the
fishes. If they don't kotch much, it's no
matter, for the old man Pitt has got the
bread" And here he ran off to hold hor e.

Of gentlemen frem the overlooked sections
of the State, and requested to urge upon the
relief committee the great Importance of
exercising caution and Judgment in the
selection of local agents for the distribution
Of supplies to those in want We were the
first to call the attention of the authorities
to the matter. and we have been assured by
Mayor Wilt that the suggestion has been
carefully weighed and acted upon.
Col D. +. Kenner has been appointed
chairman of the committee on the distribu-
ton of supplies, and his general acquaint-
ance with the people of Louisiana will en-
able him to select the best and most reliable

last season, it is a stunning blow. Fields
Overfiowed, people with nothing to eat, and
no way to make lving-our part of the
country is in a deporable condition. The
back water is still rising.
Plcayuneville is nearly under.
The crevasses are: Three breaks in Nor
rison's Levee, Grand Levee, Stewards Con
Old River, and the McPhaul Levee. If
Grand Levee had not given way, the river
would have run over all of the old levees,
as it was doing at the time it did break
We made good tight-white and black,
old and young, lawyers, doctors, women; in
fact, everybody turned out to carry dirt.
Houses were broken down. planks, fences
and b gasse-all were thrown in, and after
all We are ruined
Grand Levee broke at } p Nj. on the 10Th
Immediately in front of Alf Morgan's
house. The break is said to be half mile
wide now, and it is wearing off rapidly in
this direction. Morgan's house was swept
off into the woods in ten minutes, as if it had
been chip. Many other smaller houses
have been washed away. Hundreds of
men are now working on the dykes at
Waterloo aud Patins. SO far they have
saved them. Men look and act Just as l
have seen them after being whipped in big
battle. Some of the negroes are seated on
the top of levees talking, but the most are
looking for their daily bread in the shape of
gar fish.
Sugar coolers are the prevailing style of
boat, and where the plows were running a
week ago our gondoliers are ggging fish
this evening.
We learn that at st. Martinsvile the
water is now so high that the steamboats,
have to discharge their freight into the
secOnd-StOry windows of the warehouses
there. At New Iberia the Lerretts building
is flooded. In the streets of Brashear City
the water is standing two feet in depth.

THE OVERFLOW AND THE TAXES,

The utter prostration of credit through
out the alluvial country of Louisiana, and
in fact, the absolute helplessness Of its
people should be a sufficient reason for an
instantaneous stoppage of all processes for
the forcble collection of taxes.
When the court has to be held on trestle-
work to keep out Of the food, and the bar
and prosecuting attorney for the State have
to stand in skiffs while they plead, it is
rather hard to ask for, or give judgments
against the unhappy owners of the solid
ground, whose exact position below has to
be ascertained by soundings
Even in the city here, things are no bet
ter, though not quite as damp.
Not a cent can be made by the accustomed
and honorable methods of business. Thou
sands upon thousands of properties are
vacant.
Colonel Harper, the sheriff, has turned
landlord and collects what rents he can,
from whom he can. No manufactures, no
employment, no money among the masses
OF the people-misery and mendicancy and
aShSi NohihitACSc aHd sHoNS, anu
soup houses, and general distress on every
hand.
1t is the refinement of cruelty for the off
GERS of the usurpation, while insisting upon
the unfortunate people of New Orleans pay
ing their taxes at such a calamitous time as
this, to add to the amounts by exhorbitant
fees and costs.
To make fees, to make costs, to make
trouble seem to be their favorite pursuits,
when able, to hunt down the innocent vic
Tins of their covetOusness.
Never were the words of the prophet more
applicable than now:
"How long, O Lord, how long!"

A correspondent of the New York Erening
Post proposes what he calls "nostrum for
the currency" which seems to us worth
some consideration. He explains it and its
operation as follows: Congress ought to
pass a bill to allow the importers to pay du-
ties either in gold or currency, adding in
the latter case the gold premium, fixing the
same. to begin with, at l3 per cent, with a
monthly decrease of of per cent. You
will probably say that the Government
needs the gold for interes'. True. But
what will the people do with the gold they
get for interest if they withhold it The
only use they have for it is for duties ON
imported goods, and my belief is that the
price in the open markee will be fraction
less than the Government rate and in this
case they, of course, will buy the gold in
the open market, and pay it into the Trea-
sury. 1t will stop, to great extent, gold
speculation"

SIXTEENTH NIGHT OF THE TOURNAMENT

which was played between Messrs. Hoa and
John Miller, was won by Hoa in the nine
teenth inning by score of 300 against 1913
points. This places Mr.. Hoa second only to
Mr.. Henry Miller, and it is almost without
donbt that he will capture the second
prizes, and perhaps one Of the first if Henry
should happen to slip up on another game,
but let us wait and see what will be the
final result.
During the tournament the execution and
good Judgment of Mr.. Hoa has elected the
highest encomums from the best connois-
seurs in the art of billiards, and has most
richly deserved any and all commentator
that he may have been the recipient Of The
following is the

DOoMED.-Alas the fiat is soon to be
issued, and the lunch fiend will be only a
shadow of the past. What with the
womans crusade, and the increase of appe-
at the various coffee houses, the proprietors
feel compelled to stop giving the bounteous
lunches of the past, in order to curtail ex
penses. What will become of those cherry
faced old fellows with seedy coats and
glazed hats who were wont to hang around
bar-rooms seeking to capture innocent men
for treat, it is hard to say. Like the old
recollection of youths bright hopes, fades
away the fond reality of the lunch fiend
and his friends. Yale, rale.
