liz IlIE crop udS khlItu lllLlS over us Eelh-
tive position two months and one month ago.
The most sanguine estimates place the yield
OF the State at about one-half crop. In local
instances, where an ample supply of water
has been obtained by irrgating machinery of
proper capacity, full and even fine crops will
be made. In the parish Of Iberyile planter
has raised water over twenty feet from the
surface Of the river to food his fields. This
work was done properly, and he has made a
tine crop by using comparatively powerful
machinery. Many other large planters
throughout the rice region have saved and
made full crops by using similar steam
machinery.
Others, with machinery of an Inferior capa-
city and insufficient to do the full work needed,
have saved the greater portion Of their crops.
But the great majority of the small planters
and famers have lost heavily Some have
lost all and been ruined. The present rainy
season has been very acceptable to planters
who have saved any Of their crops. The rain
was greatly needed for filing the grain on the
fields that have not been abandoned. Without
1t not even half crop would have been made.
Harvesting work will be commenced in diff
ferent portions of the rice district during
the first week in August A very few planters
commenced cutting during the last week In
July.
The corn crop north of Red river has unfor-
tanately turned out very badly. 1t has been
roughly estimated that In all the northern
nail OF the State not over half a crop will Be
made The dry weather prevailing in June
aAa July is accountable for this great loss.

Grab your scissors, Mrs. Duniway;
here is a clipping that you have over
looked:
To Hon. Dauid Polcers, President Of
Board Of assessors, 50. Louis:
/ honestly believe and eonscien-
tiously make oath that I have not one
dollars worth of property subject TO
taxation. The principle on which
this government rests is representa-.
tion before taxation. Ny property is
denied representation, and therefore
can not be taxable.
The lawswhich you quote as appli-
cable to me in your noticetomake my
tax return is In direct conflict with
the 30th section of the bill of rights
of Constitution of the State which de-
clares, s'No person shall be deprived
Of life, liberty or property without
due process of law" And that sure
ly can not be ssdue process of law
wherein one Of the parties only is law
maker, Judge, jury and executioner,
and the other stands silenced, denied
the power either of assent or dissent,
a condition of ''involuntary slavery
so clearly prohibited in the 3Ist sec
ton of the same article, as well as in
the Constitution of the Uuited States,
that no legislation or judicial preju-
dice can ignore it.
I trust you will believe it is from
no dlsrespect to you that / continue
to refuse to become party to this
injustice by making a return Of prop
erty to your honorable body, as clear
" tho duties of a citizen can only be
exacted where rights and privileges
are equally accorded.

SILENCE.

No amount of invective could In
tensify the shame and disgust which
every honorable mind feels when con-
templating the de .facto President of
the United States in the act Of paying
81 900 of hush money to close the
mouth Of one Of the thieves who stole
for him the vote Of Louisiana. This is
one of those scenes that are most effect
i've in their naked simplicity. 1t will
live forever in the memory Of mankind,
and be execrated by the good men of
all coming generations. But this claim
Of innocence can be made no longer.
In the light Of existing facts no man
who does not expect to be laughed at
and despised as fool or liar will say
that r. B. Hayes is not fully and un-
questionably implicated in the great
crime which set up his Administration
outside of the Constitution and in vio-
lation of the laws made in pursuance
thereof. The payment by Mr. Hayes

friends and apologists of Mr.. Hayes
have stoutly contended that he was in
no way implicated in the crimes to
which he owes his incumbency Of the
Presidentialofice. When he appointed
one after another Of the big and little
title thieves to places under the govern
ment, until scores of them were thus
quartered on the public exchequer, and
when it was shown that many of these
appointees were disreputable fellows,
baving no honest claims on any party,

he was guiltless Of any wrong that
these appointments had been secured
