A great many, in fact, almost every
rural newspaper in Louisiana, is adyo-
eating the election OF Gen. Frank T..
Nichols for the next Governor.
Could that gallant hero, and noble
sun OF Louisiana be induced to allow
his name to be used for reelection to
that high position, the candidates for
that office may just as well take a back
seat for the present.
Itwould he as useless for any man to
oppose his candidacy, as it would to
check the winds in their course.
The only fear is that he could not be
induced to allow his name to. be used
for that purpose.-ThibodeauxS Sentinel.

Louisianais now being overrun by Tex
as cattle buyers. Over eleven hundred
cattle passed through Shreveport for
Texas, a few days ago, and it is report
ed that there are more buyers than cat
tie in Morehouse parish. The increase
Of railroads in Texas, stimulates the
cattle business and hence the unusually
high price of beef here in Louisiana is
caused more by the demand for stock
cattle than for beef.

The price of everything a farmer
uses in producing cotton, is fixed by
the parties he buys from. The price of
the bagging and ties he puts on the cot
ton, is fixed by the seller. When he
takes the cotton to market, then the
seller, who is the farmer, does not fix
the price, but the buyer does. If he
sends the cotton to New Orleans or some
other distant market, he has to pay the
freight which is fixed by the railroad OF
steamboat, and he has to pay the dray-
age, weighing and commissions for SELL
ing, the prices of which are not fixed by
him. But, when. with the money he
realizes from this cotton, he buys meat,
coffee, sugar, clothing, etc., he is not al
lowed to fix the prices, and he has to
pay the freight on these articles to his
home, just as he paid it on the cotton
he sent to market. The farmer pays
for everything. It is a rule laid down
in political economy, we believe, that
the consumer does all the paying. But
that rule does not hold good in pIac-
tice. The ingenuity of the present age
can eyade it. We know people who
produce nothing and they consume a
great deal, and do but little paying.
The mercantile and manufacturing
world grow rich on the cotton,
while the producers Of it can hardly
hold their own. The cotton producers
are comparatively slaves, and they will
always remain SO, if they do not pro-
,duce less cotton and more bread and
meat. When farmer is not depend
ent npon his cotton crop for the means
of living; he can hold it till it will pay
him to sell it, and the purchaser will
have to come to him to buy it just as he
has to go to the proper market to buy
what he does not produce. 1t is often
said that the farmers life is most inde-
pendent; but in the cotton region, it
seems to be just the other wsy. They
are dependent upon others for some
thing to eat, and have to plant the kind
of crop that suits those they are de-
pendent upon, It is their own fault.
If, instead OF working to make money
exclusively, they would work for the
means of subsistence first, they would
become independent, and money would
follow. The most independent farmers
we have are those who produce rice !;
they cannot get advances, for they do
not plant cotton, consequently they
are independent and have money.

THE MCENERY LAND MONEY GRAB.
Gov. Wilt, representing the State,
made a contract with Ex-G0v. John
McEnery, by which the latter was to
have half the land. claimed by this State
from the United States, which he might
recover. It seems that there was no
doubt about recovery, and that other
lawyers. with equal if not greater
knowledge OF the matter, could have
been employed at a comparatively ,tri-
Hing cost. 1t is evident that the object
was to favor the one employed, with
out regard to the interests OF the State.
Land scrip was issued to McEnery,
and he could select any public land
belonging to the State and pay for it
with his scrip. But instead of doing
this, it has been shown by the Picayune,
that he had friend in the State land
office, who, when money was paid in
for State land, put the McEnery scrip
in its place, and kept the money out of
the State Treasury. Here two wrongs
were committed against the people of
the State first, in employing lawyer
at such an exhorbitant rate; and Sec
cond in paying him for bis lands
out of the State Treasury, as the Plea
yune shows to be practically the case.
We publish one of the Picayune's sew
eral articles on the subject.

State bonds which fell due on the 1st
Of January, 1880, and which was remit

$4,000 has benin the hands of the
Fiscal Agent for more than three years

of interest on this fund. The interest
would now amount to about 100000.

Lake Charles is making an effort to
have a bank of discounts and deposits
established in that city. There is mo-
ney in the banking business, provided
it is well backed by strong capitalists,
and seconded by a moneyed community
and we see no reason why one could
not be rendered prosperous IN Lake
Charles-Vernon Condenser.
The Echo has been working up the
bank scheme for a long time and takes
some credit to itself for the efforts now
being made in that direction. In fact
it is positively stated that we shall have
a bank at an early day.-Lake Charles
Echo.
If Lake Charles had thousand
banks, they would not increase the
number of saw-logs, the quantity of
lumber, the number Of bales OF cotton,
or the number of cattle in that parish.
Only rich men have need for banks !;
the great body Of the people in our Sec
ton Of the State are poor, and have
nothing to put into banks, and no
practical use whatever for them. The
banks are for the rich. Many poor
people have been induced to deposit
their small earnings in banks, and that
was the last they saw of their money.
All banks do not break, but many do /;
and many poor people would be better
off now, if the officials of some banks
had been in the penitentiary instead of
running bank. The main thing We
want in the country parishes of this
State, is for the people to become self
sustaining to make their own bread
and meat at home. Banks foster the
credit system the credit system is the
foundation of the advancing system
that has kept and keeps our farmers in
bondage. A farmer who deyotes him.
self to cotton, seldom makes corn and
meat enough to do him and unless he
does devote himself to cotton, his
merchant will make him no advances.
The destruction of the credit system
will do away with the advancing sys-
TEN, and then the farmers will be
compelled to raise their bread and
meat, which will make them indepen-
dent.

The American Farmer gives the fol- lowing directions for making cheap homemade telephone:
 To make good and serviceable tel ephone, good from one farm house to another, only requires enough wire and two cigar boxes. First select your boxes, and make hole about half an inch in diameter in the centre of the bottom of each, and then place one in each of the houses you wish to connect; then give five pounds of com mon iron stove pipe wire, make & loop in one end and put it through the hole in your cigar box and fasten it with nail; then draw it tight to the other box, supporting it when neces- sary with stout cord. You can easi ly run your line into the house by boring hole through the glass. Sup. port your boxes with slats nailed across the window, and your telephone is complete. The writer has one that is POO yards long end cost, forty-fve cents that will carry music when the organ is played thirty feet away in another room.

An old and . Good Legend.

A Ran was walking along one road and n woman along another. The roads finally united, and the man and woman reaching the junction at the same time, walked on from there to- gether. The man was carrying a large iron kettle on his back; in one hand he held by the legs 9 live chick en, in the other a cane, and he was leading a goat. Just as they were coming to D deep, dark ravine the wo- man said to the man:
 q am afraid to go through that ravine with you; it is lonely place, and you might overpower me and kiss me by force"
 eff you were afraid of that said the man, "you shouldn't have walked with me at all. How can l possibly overpower and kiss'you by force when ! have this great iron kettle on my back, cane in one hand, and live chicken in the other, and am leading this goat? I might as we'll be tied hand and foot"
 "Yes," replied the woman; "but if you should stick your cane into the ground and tie the goat to. it, and turn the kettle bottom side up and put the chicken under it, then you might wickedly kiss me in spite of my resist. ance."
 Success to thy ingenuity, oh, wo- man r said the rejoicing man to him. self. q should never have thought of this expediept."
 And when he came to the ravine he stuck his cane into the ground and tied the goat to it, gave the chicken to the woman, saying, "Hold it while cut some grass for the goat" and then, lowering the kettle from his shoulders imprisoned the fowl under it, and wickedly kissed the woman, as she was afraid he would.-Circassian Leg ends.
