Long Johu Wentworth, who was
a member Of Congress, 40 years
ago, from Illinois, is nearly seven
feet high. He and Douglas we're
mem bers at the same time. One
was the tallest aud the other the
shortest member in the House.
Long John is now nearly bald, only
q small TUT of hair remaining on
the back OF his head. Through
this he is accustomed to pass his
fingers aud muse over the days
when his head was covered with
glossy curls. The other day, while
riding in the cars, he was fondling
his little tnft Of hair, when some
one behind him, who bad not the
fear of-Long John-before his
eyes, remarked : "Drive them up
in the clearing, stranger, and you
can catch them all; in two minutes"

Planters, in Lafourches generally,
exnress themselves satisfied with
the yield which they have had, from
their sugar cane.
OF course, owing to the heavy
losses of cane, by the Davis ere
vase, the gross result in the Par
ish will fall far short of what it 9th
erwise would have been. The
price received from sugar has not
been satisfactory, but the price OBJ
tanned for molasses is considered
fair.

Now, that the crop Of 1884 10
about saved the Planters Associa
ton of Lafourche should be we'll az

to which their attention should be
directed.
We would suggest that a simple
afternoon meeting is not sufficient
to discuss the merits Of any ones
ton that may come up for consider
alton.
The meeting. hour should be
changed to ten in the morning, OF
else a nj sht session should be held.
This Association, to accomplish
any good, must make itself heard
through resolutions. and sugges
tons that will be beneficial to tue
general welfare -" ia.
At its next session, = large repre-
s~entation should be present and
present an earnest aud solemn
protest against the continuation OF
the Hawaiian Treaty ard the con
tirmation Of tho Mexican. and Span
ish Reciprocity treaties, and for
ward the sane to our Representa-
tives in Congress. Besides this
momentous question:. some action
should be had to guide our Repre-
sentatives in Congress in asking

Planters have had considerable
trouble in shipping their sugar aud
molasses,- especially those whose
plantations lie between Donaldson
vile and Thibodaux.
The water has been SO low that
packets could not navigate, aud
are found fastened upon the shoals
very frequently.
In consequence, those who were
compelled to ship had either to
haul to Donslisonville or Thibo
daux to find transportation.
There does not appear to be much
probability ofa rise very soon.

FOLLY

The much talked of invasion to the
reservation before 1t is opened to settle
ment by act of congress is sheer folly.
It is the duty Of the United States au-
thorities to protect the rights of the In
dams by keeping the whites from appro-
priating their (the IndiansD lands, and
it is certain they will do so. Fort ASST
naboine is right in the heart of this
coveted country, and those who are rash
enough to defy the authority Of the
United States by seeking to possess
themselves of lands still owned by the
Indians will be taught at the point Of
The boys in blue have little else to do
lust now, and it would be an easy task
for them to make it warm for the bold,
bad Invaders Even if the country
were open to settlement, wisdom would
hardly dictate a movement there at this
inclement season; but when to do SO is
to defy the federal laws and become.
subject to the punishment provided for
Sucn infringement, the act Is Inen one
Of consummate folly. There is no oc-
casion for this Invasion as within a
few months at most the reservation will
be cut down and will then be free to all.
Besides any extensive movement, such
as the talked of invasion, might awaken
a feeling of distrust at Washington and
delay for another year or more the
opening Of that country. The portion
OF the reservation to be surrendered by
the Indians is large enough for all, and
those whe wait until congress gives them
a right to Invade" that section, select
ing a more suspicious season to do so,
will fare much better than these who
may be rash enough to go before.

the assessment returned by Colorado for
1881 by nearly four millions, and nearly
double that Of the state of Nevada last
year. But handsome as this showing is
it fails to do the territory justice, for it
does not include a dollar for the mines,
whose net income alone is taxed, but
whose market value would exceed $780,
600, 900, and carry up q total of wealth of
500, 900 600.
INDEBTEDNESS.
In connection with its wealth, it is
| proper to state Montana's indebtedness.
| The territory does not W a dollar, and
| the aggregate Indebtedness of her thir-
teen counties is under 81, O00, 600, mostly
| incurred for the erection Of court houses
and other public buildings, and for the
| construction of roads and bridges. It
must be remembered that the price of
all building material has been excessive
| Iy high, and so are the costs of admins
tering justice, supporting the poor and
insane. The showing, for a new coun-
| try, where everything had to be created
at high prices fer all labor and material,
| and high rates of interest on all indebt-
| edness, is certainly creditable. Only
n county has ever made default in the
payment Of interest on its bonded debt,
and that reproach will soon be wiped
out. u5
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
Montana has no cause to envy her sis
ter territories in any respect. She is
| better Watered, has a more healthful and
| equible climate, richer mines and Of
greater variety, and a home market for
all her bountiful soil can produce. Such
confidence have her people in their
ability to support a state government.
with an early prospect of a full quota Of
population to entitle them on that ground
to admission as a state, that the last ter
ritorial legislature authorized a call fora
constitutional convention, with a view
to submit the constitution framed to the
vote of the people in November. 1884.
The convention will assemble in Janua-
nv next, and the members thereof, who
are representative men Of ability, have
already been elected.
The people of Montana are earnest in
their desire to exercise the full rights of
citizenship by effective representation
in congress and a participation in the
choice of a chief magistrate of the ma
ton. sa. ~
There is no wish of reduction Of ter
ritory, but on the contrary a very strong
desire to expand its practical area by a
large and immediate reduction of the
Indian reservations within it's borders.
The condition of the territory is pros
porous and peaceful, and the resident
population have a kindly welcome for
immigration from the old states and Eu-
rope. Murders and robberies are of rare
occurrence, and the hardships which
met the early settlers at every step are
among the things of the past, and in no
part of the American continent are
greater inducements offered for safe and
profitable labor and the investment of
capital than in our great, grand, and
progressive territory.
