Mr.. Cleveland is reported as saying
that if it can be done by his efforts the
democracy will control the government
for twenty years. Somehow Mr..
Cleveland generally succeeds in doing
what he attempts.
The Blaineites say, "The mugwumps
must CO." The democrats respond,
"The mugwumps may come" The
party that is already in a minority
drives people into the party that is in

We make the following extracts from
the Governors message:
Compulsory attendance at school
should be required and legislation en-
acted to enforce it,
Every cent'of money not needed for
current expenses should be devoted to
the maintenance of our public schools.
The present election laws, acts of
1877, 1850 and 1882, are defective. The
recent election has developed their
defects. l recommend that all laws
relating to elections be repealed, and
that one be enacted dispensing with
the Objectionable features of the pres
! ent election code.
[ believe that public opinion i'm
peratively demands that the right of
suffrage be restricted to those who can
intelligently exercise it.
All of our public institutions, edu-
cational and charitable, are in -four
ishing condition and promise career
of usefulness in the future. Labor is
/ better and more remunerative, and
race issues are disappearing from the
| political contests in the State. Capt.
/ tai has come into the State, railroads
/ have been built and others projected,
and there are more enterprises COM
pleted and in progress than ever be-
fore in the history of the State. Tax
alton is more equal and uniform. and
there is a greater willingness to pay
| taxes, and assessments have increased
during the administration, nearly
/ $4,000, 900 having been added to the
assessment rolls.
! Agricultural, mechanical and manu-
! featuring interests have advanced
nearly $2,0O0,000 in machinery having
been put up and devoted to these in

State is such that we can hopefully
look to the future for continued pros.

RICE CLEANING MILL.-The produe-
ton of rice is rapidly becoming one of
the leading industries of our large par
ish. From all we can learn the area in
this cereal has been increased thirty or
forty per cent this year, and as there
are thousands of acres more of fertile
lands suited to its abundant raising, it
will not be long before it will lead all
other cereals as an article of trade and
commerce. There is one thing, how
ever, that will stimulate its production
more than anything else, and that is
the establishment of a rice cleaning mill.
The crop of the parish already fully
justifies such an enterprise, and the
man who has the capital and the
energy to erect such a building and the
necessary machinery to make it a sue
cess, viii find it the best investment of
all other similar enterprises. With
! sufficient capital the owner of such a
mill could also buy thousands of bar
rels of rough rice, and make hand
some profit by cleaning and preparing
/ it for the market. There is no ques-
ton that lie could sell all of the clean
rice right from his mill, at price that
would pay him we'll for cleaning it, be-
sides a fine margin of profit in selling it
to the trade. Who has the pluck and
the money to inaugnrate this scheme ?
| While it will be Of great convenience
and of immense benefit to our people,
it will at the same time coin money for
its protector, Let us have rice clean
ing mill by all means.
