The Shreveport Standard very
justly remarks: ut is to be regretted,
as it is great misfortune, to see the
Louisiana delegation in Congress di-
vided upon question Of such material
importance to their constituents as the
appropriation of 100000, recon-
mended by the President, for the Mis-
sissippi river levees. The reference Of
the bill for that purpose gave rise to
an unfortunate and unseemly discus
sion on the floor of the House between
our own members, among whom there
seemed to exist no harmony or concert
OF action, and as result an unneces-
sary delay in the consideration of this
important measure has been brought
about by the lack of previous consul
tation and agreement upon the CONT
tee to which the bill should be refer
red when called up in the House. If
our delegation cannot be harmonious
upon questions involving their own To-
cal interests, it can hardly be expected
that their influence will be 50 great as
it otherwise would be where unanimity
prevails.

A GOOD WORK.

The Police Juries of the Parishes of
Union and jackson have, we learn,
refused to license the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors in their Parishes. There
has evidently been misrepresentation
of the powers and duties Of Police Ju-
ries on this subject. The law, without
doubt, leaves the whole question Of Ii
censing grog shops to the Police Ju-
ries, and they can prohibit or regulate
the sale of Intoxicating liquors without
reference to the State license law
The Supreme Court has 50 decided,
and it would be we'll for our Police
Jury now in session, to thoroughly in
vestigate the question before fixing
the amount Of license. Sunptnary laws
may be distasteful but patriotism de-
mands some action on the part of con-
stituted authorities to prevent the vice
Of vices and the parent Of over two
thirds of crime in the Parish. If this
unnecessary luxury, liquor, is demand
ed and must be sold, let the persons
who require it pay indirectly in license
the cost Of criminal expenses, of which
| it is the direct cause. Let the Police
Jury either prohibit entirely or fix the
license at such a figure as will pay
into the Parish Treasury a sum suffi-
Gent to meet all the criminal expenses
Of the Parish. The labor is democrat.
lied, society is impaired, life, liberty
and property is rendered insecure OF
worthless by this great vice. We be.

The Police Jury have now an oppor
tunity to do patriotic act, the conse
quences Of which will result in great
good to this Parish. Stop it gentle
men, Or fix the license high enough te

In five years your country will blossom

position to stop the sale Of liquor was

was expected. The best elements O.

largely predominant, will sustain tn,

THE ISmeS-Democrat saws: 7

The Times Democrat says: The
recent cold snap did not do as much
damage to the orange trees in Louisia-
ma as was at first feared. While the
next crop, it is thought, viii not be
materially lessened, most of the young
tress and those of the older ones which
are not altogether vigorous will proba-
bly, lose their leaves. The wood of
the trees in this part of State, !nclud-
ing that of the young trees, does not
seem to be injured in the least. 1t is
thought by many that the lower coast
and Lafourche groves may have escap-
ed injury entirely,

THE LABOR LOUISIANA NEEDS.

Planters have spent good deal Of
money since the war in bringing igno-
rant laborers to the sugar and cotton
lands of Louisiana. They have brought
negroes from Virginia, the Carolinas,
and other Southern States, Portuguese
and Italians from Europe, the most ig-
norant and degraded of European peas
antry, and pigtails from China. Skill
ed and intelligent laborers are the kind
most needed in Louisiana, such as will
cultivate we'll and faithfully the plan
tations, and in time may have farms Of
their own. We want immigrants who
will make good citizens and good vo-
ters-those whose votes will make a
good government and good Legisla-
ture. If planters continue to import
ignorant and degraded laborers, and
to snub intelligent white labor, how
long will it take Louisiana to become
a highly prosperous and highly cult
waited State7 Every ten acres of these
alluvial lands in Southern Louisiana
may be made tc support an intelligent
family of skilled white farmers, gar
deners, ETC., and fifty acres may enable
a good farmer to make money in stock
raising and field crops of various kinds.
Skill may double the production of an
acre Of land and at the same time stop
leaks, establish rigid economy and re-
duce the cost of making crops one
half. A good family of white farmers
en- every fifty acres of tillable lands in
Southern Louisiana, the land we'll
stocked and undermined, would make
these lands the most productive on the
Continent, and prosperous towns and
thriving factories would spring up in
all parts Of these highly favored Pa
rishes. Canning factories would spring
up, and millions Of dollars worth of
canned fruits and vegetables would be
sent to market. The oyster fields on
our coast would, if properly protected
and regulated by such laws as RE
needed, furnish all the oysters needed
by the inhabitants of the State to the
end Of time, end millions Of dollars
worth annually besides for other mar
hets; and the fish and shrimp along
} out coust may forever help to make up
the food supplies Of the State. Il
planters and merchants who have
farms so heavily mortgaged that they
can never pay for them would bring tc
their plantations skilled farmers, and
sell to them farms on long time, these
farmers paying interest annually or
} their unpaid notes, these planters coulc
) shift the heavy interest they now have
to pay, to the shoulders of farmers whe
would be able to pay, and also thu
: most Of the sacrifices that come from
, short crops and other disasters, coult
, be shifted, at the same time that they
/. could hold their central sugar houses
and continue to purchase cane by tn
ton as usual. Planters may, and d,
9 sometimes, succeed and become ricl
g from cotton and sugar culture, but llov
Louisiana can ever become rich ant
prosperous and have majority Of in
telligent voters and good citizens OF
= the present plan, by crowding our ricl
lands with negroes, Italians, Portu
gese, Cinnamon and other degrade,
and ignorant laborers, is beyond m.

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION OF LOU
ISIANA.


1SIANA.
BATON ROUGE, Jan. 6.-Gen. Leon
Jastremski, president, has issued the
following call to the Press Association
of Louisiana
l deem it proper, at this time, to re-
mind the brotherhood that the next
regular meeting of the Press Associa-
ton Of Louisiana will be held at New
Orleans on Mardi Gras eve, Feb. IS,
1884. In view of the fact that the
meeting will take place during the ses-
sion Of Congress, and that the General
Assembly will hold its regular session
in May; also, that the grandest indus
trial enterprise ever undertaken in Lou
isiana, the Worlds Cotton Centennial
Exposition, will be open in New Or
leans in December next, it is obvious
that the association will have it in it's
power, by an intelligent concert of &C
ton, to materially advance the inter-
ests of the press at the same time that
it's great power is concentrated to assist
the nascent enterprises of the people Of
Louisiana, who have grown eager to
keep pace with that progressive spirit
of the age which is bringing to so many
States Of the Union degree Of grand
eur and prosperity unexampled in the
worlds history.
[ trust that the members, appreciat-
ing the opportunities and the demands
Of the situation which I have but brief
ly traced, will all attend, and that they
will urge those of the fraternity not yet
on the rolls Of the association to join
at this next meeting, to the end that
the entire press of our State may ex-
ert its whole power, when it can be
advantageously applied as mnch in its
own behalf and in the advancement OF
the material interests of it's patrons.

The Picay't'ae is urging the pee
pie of Louisiana those whom they may
choose to represent them in the I.egis-
lature by some specific and clearly sta
ted pledges to active measures in the
interest of reform. In regard to this
subject that journal he's this to say =
''The responsibility Of Legislators to
theio several constituencies will not be
denied. The legislator is the servant
Of his constituency. He is sent to the
Legislature to express his constituen-
cy's will, and not his own. If he is
not willing to sacrifice his personal in
dependence to that extent he should
have no hesitancy in saying so; and if
he goes in good faith to represent those
who have elected him he has no reason
fol- refusing to pledge himself to advo-
cate and support by evlry legitimate
means the particular measures as well
as the general policy which they may
prescribe. Then, let every candidate
for the Legislature declare himself at
once. Let him say precisely what he
will do if elected, and how he proposes
to do it. Let him be as direct and
specific as the resolutions reported by
the minority of the committee on the
platform at the Baton Rouge Conven-
ton"
I DoN'T SPILL THE M1LK.-"There

bald, but have no life in the roots of
your hair, there is no use crying over
