There are unfortunately too many
men in Louisiana, as there doubtless
are in every State, who follow no
special calling or occupation. Many
of them, because they do not obtain
such employment as they deem suit.
able or sufficiently lucrative, pass
their time in idleness bewailing what
they term their misfortunes. It
would be well for all young men to
remember that the eyes of the bust

friends to take him by the hand and
give him push forward. Our ad.
vice to evcry young man is, to do.
vote his time to an occupation of

Last Winter, at Washington, it
was pretty well known, especially
among newspaper correspondents,
who make it theis business to- know
everything, that a. large corruption
fund came over from New York to
influence legislation against the
sugar interests Of the South. The
amount expended, it is said,, was
100000. Col. Fred. Conkling, a
brother to the collapsed Roscoe,
states that a check for that amount
twas casliedi by a National bank in
New YORK;. a. the corner Of Wall
street and Broadway, and was made
payable to the brother of one of the
members of the Committee of Ways
and Means" This. a serious charge
and may, or may not, be true. The
late Fernando Weed of New York,
and j. r. Tucker, Of Virginia, were
the only members Of that Commit
tee who had brothers on the field
about that time. Ben. Wood, bro

souri, River than there were in all
the States twenty years ago. And
yet, with all this wonderful expan.
sion of settlement and reclamation
Of wild land, the demand for homes
in the unsettled regions of the
North, Northwest, and West, is
greater than ever before. A cores.
pondent who has recently travelled
over the lands watered by the Red
River of the North, the Assinniboin
and the Saskatchewans-Little and
Big-predicts that there will soon
be q grand rush in that direc.
ton. Moreover, he is advised on
good authority, that away beyond

the regions of the Great Peace River,
and the Nelson, extending north.
ward to Hudson's Bay, and north.
westward to unknown limits, there
is better soil and climate for rain
grass than on the Red and Sas-
katchewan. He estimated its area
at 215, 100000 acres, which is nearly
double the area of France, and
100000 acres more than twice the
area of California. Evidently, from
these statements, if they are true,
the advance of the American land
conquerors will soon be heard of on
the Peace and Nelson rivers and
around Athabasca lake, a Winter
temperature sometimes as low as 40
degrees below zero Notwithstanding.
The country abounds in coal and in
iron, and where these are the influ-
ence OF frost can be neutralized.
Besides, 40 degrees below zero does
not signify, if the planted grain is

On a smaller scale immigrants
will drift westward with the con.

Railway into Eastern Oregon and
Washington Territory, and with the
construction of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad they will go into the
Cariboo region.
at the present rapid rate of rail-
road building there will soon be no

has been conquered to the uses of
man within the past thirty years
than was embraced in all the States
east of Illinois. The annual pro.
duction OF wheat, oats, corn, barley,
and meats, is now more than four
times as great as then. During
these years of astonishing activity
in the United States sleepy Mexico
has made no advance, either in pop.
ulation or in wealth. Indeed, that
country is not as we'll off in any re-
spect now as it was in 1910. Her
situation, socially and politically, is
pitiful, and invites something more
than the commiscration of Ameri.

But, Colorado, the land of enter.

tration, and, in few years will be
the seat of the Empire of the West.
