1nstlage.

The discovery that grass, corn, aud
other fodder can, by compression and
the exclusion Of air, be kept during the
winter months, is likely to work a great
revolution in farming, and raise the
price of land in this country. If cattle
can be fed by cheap and nutritious food
during the long winter months, then
will it be possible to keep herds in the
North and East almost as cheaply as in
the South and Southeast. The fact that
compressed fodder would last from one
grass seasen to another was discovered
simultaneously BY q Frenchman and
two Americans. The principle is the
same as that taken advantage of i'll can
ming fruit and vegetables for human
uses. The cost OF snsilage bears no
comparison to its marvellous economy.
II is said tho growing Of turnips in En-
glatsd ssown on wheat fields that have
just been harvested had nearly doubled
the price of farm lands in England, al
the roots conld be fed to cattle during
the winter. 50, hereafter, in tite North
crn States, wherever grass or corn can
bu grown in quantities during the sum
naer, an abundance OF cheap fodder can
be secured On which cattle can be fed
during the winter months. This is a
fact Of the greatest moment to owners
Ut farm lands id the Northern aud East
era States, aud puts an end to the mo-
nopoly Of cattle raising heretofore an
joyed By the West and Southwest, and
utilities millions of acres east Of the
Mississippi which for some years past
have been well nigh worthless. From
this time forth ne may look to q steady
enhancement of farm values throughout

THE BOARD OF REVIEWERS.

The workings Of the various police
iuries as board of assessment re-
viewers is being extensively discussed
throughout the State. In Rapides
parish the board has called upon sew
eral hundred citizen to show cause
why their assessments should not be
raised. In this parish the number
called to account is less than fifty.
As matter of course those who have
habitualy evaded their share Of the
burden of government, by giving In
low valuation Of their property, OPP
pose the board: The question is
merely q matter of fair assessment or
unfair assessment II there is no
board of reviewers, how are we to get
at those who habitually defraud the
government by under valueing their
property It is an incontrovertible
fact that such under valuations are
frequently made. That it is unfair
to those who do give in fair valua-
tions is so patent it is barely neces-
sary to mention it to carry conviction
to an unbiased mind.
There are many arguments raised
on the ground that q board inter
ested in raising the revenue becomes
an engine Of oppression. This obiec
ton we think is purile and unworthy
of consideration. The'police juries
as a rule, represent all the INTEREST,"
of their respective localities. The.
| are selected as representative men
If such board viii not deal fairly

If the Democrats in Congress elect
John G.. Carlisle to the speakership
of the next House, there will be for
once session without . single DEM
ocratic blunder. John g. Carlisle is
to-day one Of the foremost statesmen
in America, and if the Democratic
party shall prove true to its time
honored principles, it viii win; if not,
it will be defeated, and its defeat will
be deserved. A distinguished Dem
ocratic editor once said, "Let rs win
on principle, If possible; otherwise
let us be defeated-better . banner
trailed in the dust with honor, than
q banner waved on the dome OF St
Peters, all smirched with the spots
and stains Of dishonor."
The Democratic party is committed
to principle. That principle is to
do the greatest good to the greatest
numbers principle that means war
to the knife on the few who live at the
expense of the many.
The election Of Mr.. Carlisle as
Spesker Of the next House OF Repre-
sentatives would ultimately result in
| the emancipation Of the people from
8 tariff that robs the revenues and
enriches . few privileged persons and
impoverishes the masses. Mr.. Car
Isle has sounded the keynote OF our
policy policy that win terminate
the reign az the man who gain by our
iniquitous tariff.
Mr.. Randall is . shrewd man OF
splendid gifts, but he is an enemy OF
the Democratic Party. He openly
repudiates the platform Of that party
q platform that declares for tariff
not to enrich . privileged lew, but
to protect the many-a tariff for gov
eminent revenue. A tariff to pay
our debt, and not 10 enrich monopo-
LIFTS. Mr.. Randall is man whose
only argument is one of expediency.
| Mr.. Carlisle is man whose only OBJ
ject is to put in practice great prin-
ciple. The Democrats have set the
country back many years BY heark-
ening to the advice of its Randalls.
The time has come when it must re-
!, deem its blunders by following the
leadership Of its Csrlisles. For our
part we should rather be defeated on
| Carlisleism than to win on Randall
| ism. If it conflicts with principle
let us not hesitate to throw expedi-
ency to the dogs and have none OF it
But in truth the voice OF expediency
is in perfect accord with that OF prin'
ciple. Carlisle is the representative
of both. He is as clear in head q!
: he il pure id heart. II he be elected
his wisdom and his patriotism vii
II command the confidence OF the entire
i | country.
