FAMINE ~ EGYPT.
The Afflicted People Appealing to Gov
CulIom for Help.

CHICAGO, February 2.-Goycrnor Cullom
is constantly receiving appeals for aid from
the inhabitants of the southern part Of the
State known as Egypt. The prospects OF
famine this winter in that part Of tho State
were vividly portrayed last fall by Senator
Tanner, OF Clay county, but were branded
at the time as sensational and overdrawn.
They are now fully realized. The counties
suffering mos most are Crawford, Franklin
Marion, Perry, Saline, Union, Wabash and
Wayne, all in the southwestern part OF the
State. The condition depicted by petitions
sent to the Governor are pitiable. They
are almost entirely without food for them.

Prices of Sugar.
[TilneS-UeniOcrat.l

lI1lnGS-D elnOcrat.l
Among our Letters from the People"
this morning we publish one on the
subject OF Louisiana sugar. We think
our correspondent is mistaken in attri-
| buting any significance to the shortage
on the Louisiana crop. The product of
| this State is so intintesimal an item in
the consumption of the world that no
result would ensue if it were to fail al
together. This country alone consumes
about 100000 hogsheads OF sugar, OF
| which amount Louisiana produces about
| 100000, or about One-ninth. The world
consumes eight millions OF boghsheads,
of which Louisiana produces one forty
fifth part. We play very inconsider-
| able part in the matter, and our crop,
though it is much sought after and
promptly consumed, has really no in
tluence whatever upon the market.
In fact it is only a question OF very
little time when the Northwest will
produce great deal more sugar than
Louisiana does-an inferior grade. to
be sure, but very superior quantity.
We are OF opinion, however, that our
their sugar for the present. If they
ship now, they get simply the New
York price, deducting freight and in
surance. But if they wait, the local
demand will soon give them New York
prices, (Which may advance MEANWHILE
with freight and insurance added. That
is about all the margin there is in the
business. The Louisiana crop is too
small an element in the worlds supply
to admit Of any hope of it's affecting
the price in the worlds markets. We
must reclaim many more thousands of
acres and increase very largely the
productiveness Of our lands and the
efficiency Of our machinery, before we
can reasonably expect to influence the
market. Both these achievements are
possible, but they have yet to be accom-
plished.
St. Landry democrat., 1882-01-07

do Justice or be politically damned;
but central board, appointed by the
central government, that would be en-
tirely Independent Of the taxpayers,
and that could increase their taxes at
pleasure, is naturally a damnable thing
in their sight, and those who may be
inclined to legislate to that effect would
do we'll not to forget it.
The talk about dishonoring the State,
giving her bad name financially, ETC..
is all very cheap; men who make no
efforts to pay their own private debts,
can do that, and then feel honest, we
suppose. Those who dishonor the
State financially are the ones who bur
den her with unjust debts, and having
the finances of the State in charge,
will not reduce expenses so as to pay
these debts. They keep the expenses
of the State above the maximum limit
of taxation, and endeavor to increase
taxes accordingly. Charity begins at
home :" and instead of increasing taxes,
reduce expenses. Take the revenue
law and strike from it at least half the
appropriations. The State spends
money for immigrants, and can get
none the State spends money for en-
gineering and leyeeing purposes, when
it cannot get immigrants to settle upon
the high lands. Consequently there is
already more land above overflow in
Louisiana, than we need; then why
make the people pay taxes for immi-
grants and levees? We have not
enough money to run the ordinary
public schools, where only reading,
writing and arithmetic are learned;
but the taxpayers, who derive 40 bene-
fit from them, are taxed to support
highfalutin universities for the benefit
of few. And SO with many other
things-they should be dropped from
the list Of appropriations, at any rate
till the State gets out of debt. In pri-
vate life, sensible man heavily in
debt, cuts down expenses to what is
absolutely necessary for food and cloth
ing and no more let the State do this,
so to speak, and the amount Of taxes
now collected will be sufficient. OF
course all the barnacles on the State
government would howl at this, but
the taxpayers would rejoice, and then
we would have prosperity in truth.

Report of the Grand jury ON the Par
ish Jail.
To the Honorable the Police Jury OF the parisl

To the Honorable the Police Jury OF the parish
In the opinion OF the Grand Jury the time
has come when the parish OF st. Landry should
erect a new Jail. The present Jail was built
about 35 or 40 years ago, since that time, our
population has more than doubled. and though
at the time OF it's erection amply sufficient for
the needs and wants OF the parish Is now totally
inadequate. It is moreover 50 dilapidated that
it cannot be repaired or kept in proper sanitary
condition for the detention OF prisoners with
all the care that can be exercised by the JallOr
or sheriff The Grand Jurors would further
call attention to the fact that the erection OF Il
new Federal Court i'll Louisiana holding SEES
sions at Opelousas will necessarily greatly in
crease the number OF inmates Ol said Jail within
rhe next twelve months, as prisoners are liable
to be confined therein under process OF the
United States Courts from any OF the parishes
comprising the Western District OF Louisiana.
In addition TO these reasons the Grand Jurors
would call attention to this fact that since 1868
every grand inquest OF this Court has con-
demned said jail, and though ten or fifteen
Thousand dollars have been spent in repairs Oh
said Jail i'll paying for extra guards and for
Jail is unfit for the use OF any civilized commu-
nifty. Your grand inquest further call attention
to the fact that owing to the crowded condition
OF the Insane Asylum OF the State, many per
SONS bereft of reason and whose running at
large would be dangerous to the community,
have to be consigned to said Jail and kept there
in for months and sometimes for years. That
no suitable accommodations can be had in said
Jail for these unfortunates, and that their I'M
fortunate condition while therein confined
should appeal to the humanity OF all and e.
pecially to you who alone have the power to
come to their relief. That OWING to the in
creased revenues of the parish derived from
taxation the railroads recently constructed and
now i'll process OF construction i'll our parish
our financial condition is such that the erection
OF a proper Jail would not seriously effect the
parish treasury. Wherefore the Grand Jurors
request your earnest and careful consideration
of this suggestion and request you during the
coming year to make provisions for the cree
ton new jail

The legislature, after two extra ses-
sions amounting to thirty days, ad-
iourned last Wednesday. The business
marked out by the Governor was talked
about voluminously, but not trans
acted. The extra session is regarded
on all sides as failure, and we sup
pose the Governor sees now the folly
of having called it. The legislature
spent good many thousand dollars Of
the peoples money, and that was about
all that was done.
