THE agricultural intelligence from the
West and North is to the effect that the
promise of large crops of wheat and other
cereals is unprecedented. This is crafty
ing but with this information comes the
fact that prices for these commodities rule
cause of the prospect of an abundant yield,
but for the reason that there is serious
shrinkage in all values of property. Thus
it is that good Providence brings compen-
satiOns to the legitimate enterprises of man.
Low prices are compensated by an increased
yield, while scarcity is usually rewarded
with advanced prices.

EX-GOVERNOR SHEPHERDS reoinders to
the somewhat numerous assaults of Com
missioner BRYAN upon the defunct Board OF
Public Works are timely in their way, and
excusable on the ground that every citizen,
when attacked is entitled to be heard.
through the press and elsewhere, in his own
defense. But u revival of long-iorgottcn
anmOsities and old chickering's just now,
when Congress is engaged in considering
District affairs, may endanger the substan-
tial interests of the community If Mr..
BRYAN had those interests really at heart
he would not provoke such discussion as
the one in question. As it is, he lays him

"OPESISG OF THE CAMPAIGN IN QUA.

This is the significant heading of report
in the New Orleans Picdyunc of Demo-

for the Democrats Of that ilk are "pacfcd, y

At this meeting a series of whereases and
resolutions were unanimously adopted, to
which we beg to call the readers attention.

all the isolated facts that could be crowded

lencc it is cause for congratulation."
The second whereas assumes that the
party has faithfully kept its pledges, 50
far rs practicable" That is doubtless true
from their standpoint. The pledge was to
suppress all opposition.
The third whereas says, "the rights of all
classes have been preserved irrespective OF
"color or party affiliations" Yes but it Is
claimed the majority in Ounchita have no
rights which the White Leagaers are bound
to respect.
In the way of resolving they "deprecate
any independent movement" to draw OF
Democratic voters, and mphaticaly declare
" all such movements to be the offspring OF
"a selfish ambition" such movements
"are only attempted by disappointed poll
"ticians, who are willing to sacrifice honor
"and principle to obtain Office here is the
point, and to affiliate with any party that
holds out the mducement of obtaining the
same" meaning the Republican party.
The second resolution resolves that they
will class all persons who attempt to Or

and as attempting TO revive the Radical
party" We do not know ofa more cheer

ii he Is dead.

should adopt similar resolutions about the
