Editor Lake Charles Echo
| find that much fault is found by
intelligent parties, even when one in
writing or speaking. calls this part Of
Louisiana good soii.n Even as high
an authority as Dennett in Louisiana
As it Is," 4 most excellent work, calls
this parish ''poor soil.n
Now, the highest praise that can be
awarded any soil is that il grows good
grass, and to say chat the samc soil
will grow good grass and fruit, also,
would be truly the top round in the
ladder Of goodness. And now I win
say that this soil grows the gaseH
(carpet grass) in such quantities that
single acre will support horse the
year round. Or that grown for hay
from two to four tons per acre can be
cut, as two cuttings may be made. !
have cut over a ton per acre where
pastured freely at a single cutting this
season on 30 acres. Gasou Is atender,
sweet, juicy grass, roofing at the
joints, gathering more nutriment than
other grasses, twill stand and grow
well under water also, will stand a
long drouth and much closer feeding
than seed grasses, and the varieties that
grow here arc numerous l have found
at least dozen good grasses growing
wild.
AS for fruits, and fine fruits, too,
our Fourth of July Fair convinced the
most skephcaI that this is number
one country for fruits. Figs, necta-
riness peaches, grapes, Japan persiml-
mons, pears and apples, were on exhi-
bition in quantities, and Of finest quail
ity and Of large size.
Can any country beat us on rice
and sweet potatoes None that we
have heard from
Dakota claims rich land--fve acres
TO keep a steer. Illinois has very
rich land average value Of all crops,
by eensus Of 1880, $3.50 Calcasien
parish, for 1883, $50; whole State SIS.
Commend me, therefore, to the 'poor
lands Of Calcasieu, and don't condemn
me if, in the fullness Of my heart, |
speak or write the words as applied
to the prairie region of Southwestern
Louisiana, "good soiln
In my circulars written to induce
immigration from the rich but easily
exhausted prairie soils North, ] do not
say good soil, because the soil hore is
SO unlike theirs, and they must learn

Written for the Echo.
WRITE THEN. A LETTER TONIGHT.
BY "rET.n


Don't go to theatre, grange or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself of the friends that call,
And good long letter write
Write to the sad old folks at home
Who sit when the day Is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes
And think Of the absent one.
Don't selfishly seribble, "excuse my haste,
I've scarcely the time to write,n
Lest their brooding thoughts go wandering
back
To many by-gone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was a prayer,
That God would spare their delicate baby
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more
need
OF their love or counsel voice,
For the heart grows strongly sensitive,
When age has dimmed the eyes
It might do well to let them believe
You never forget them quite,
That you deem 1t pleasure when far away,
Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts for you,
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put off,
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they've looked so
long
Be day or an hour to late.
For the sad old folks at home
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear from the absent one,
Write them letter tonight.

would cause such discomfort, and en-
courage principle fatal to Democratic
ascendency in Louisiana and othel
Southern States.
"The President not only determined
to adhere to his action, but certainly
understood that Eustis' withdrawal ol
opposition to KeInochan's appoint
ment was made condition precedent
to any recognition in Louisiana ap
pointments."
=" did Eustis and his friends demand
control of all the patrongc Of the
State ~
"By no means. Although they
represented the majority organization
of the State they had indorsed the
leader of the opposition wing of the
party for collector, and were willing
to accept his appointment as post
master If the President insisted upon
appointing Senator Jonas for the sake
of harmony, and had proposed an ad-
justment which gave Senator Gibson
and his friends majority of theposi-
tons"
Would tho appointments asked for
by Eustis have been made If he had
withdrawn his opposition to Ker-
nochan9"
"That was certainly the impression
created with Eustis and his friends. |
think he has been influenced through
out more by consideration for princi-
pie than by the nero desire for pa
tronage, and that much of the friction
which has existed would have been
ayerted if the President had discussed
the subject of Louisiana affairs frankly
with Eustis instead of assuming toward
him aAcold and unfriendly attitude"
" Is there any truth in the statement
that the President by his appointments
intended to administer a rebuke to the
State administration or to help the
minority faction y
81 cannot speak for his motives
! can only Judge by the facts. Ex-
Senator Jonas was appointed collector
upon the advice of nearly allthe mem
bers of the National Committee and of
many Senators. Mr.. Cleveland had a
high personal regard for him as a
Democrat and as well equipped for an
officer of high trust. Jonas has always
disclaimed any connection with fac
tions, and he makes an excellent of
tieer A majority OF the other posi-
tions have been filled by the appoint
ment of persons unfriendly to the
State administration, but they are re-
ceiving and will receive cordial sap
port from the supporters of the State
in the faithful execu-
ton of their duties. The surveyor
and superintendent of the mint were
warm personal and political friends of |
Gov, McEnery; indorsed by both fac
tions, however.
~ apprehend that the Federal Off
cials in Louisiana have not, therefore,
been selected with view to promoting
The interests of factions in the Dem
ocratic party and will not be expected
10 assume the responsibility of State
politics in Louisiana any more than in
New York"

CURE FOR PILES.

Plles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, 1oIns and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indI-
gestion are present, fatuleney uneasiness OF
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
tion, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting permanent
cure. Price so cents Address, The DIR. Bo-

Oar Forests,
Times-D Democrat.

'rimes-Demoerat.
The American Forestry Congress
has furnished some interesting figures
on the subject of woodlands in this
country, and the number Of acres of
forests We destroy annually, which
ought to serve as a warning TO ns.
The United States is, by no means,
as heavily wooded as is generally
imagined, and will not compare with
many European countries in its acre
age in forests, OF it's total area Of
1856, or, 400 acres, only 10000, 900
acres, Or barely 23 per cent., are
wooded, and good proportion Of the
timber, il should be remembered, is in
mountainous districts and beyond ready
reach, We have 297, 7,650,0 900 acres
of farms and no less than Ills, AGO.
400 acres Of unimproved and waste
lands, old fields, etc, not under oulti-
yation, but devoid Of timber,
Coming to the consumption Of tim
Der, it is found that 1t requires no less
than l5,000,00o acres, an area equal
TO Vermont, New Hampshire, Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island TO supply the
railroads with cross,ties, Our supply
of.fuel will, In single year, clean the
forests of 30,o00,o00 acres Of trees,
about equal to the area of New York
or North Carolina, Our annual loss
Of timber by forest fires was l0,2T4,
$50 acres in 1880, and average annu-
ally somewhere in the neighhorhood Of
100000 acres. Onr cut Of lumber
is as,o0o,0oo,ooo feet a year, which
lays bare annually forrest area
greater than the State Of New Hamp-
shire. Altogether the forests Of this
country are being decreased at the rate
Of 50,750,o00 acres annually, which
would clean q wooded surface equal
in extent to all the New England
States, together with New Jersey aud
AT the present rate Of consumption,
our forests would hold out
for eighty years longer, II all the tim
bar ii them should PROVE available,
but as matter Of fact 4 large propor-
tion Of il cannot be reached, and the
demand is growing greater each year.
The outlook is, therefore, for timber
famine within thirty or forty ynara,
unless the Forestry Congress sncceed
ID teaching the people of this country
to adopt such measures as win pre-.
serve our forests and supply ua al the
Timber We need, without the nresnnf

w WAsHlNGToN, Sept. 29.-The fol-
loving interview went out tonight to
the New York Wortd
The attention of Major Il. A. Burke,
OF Louisiana, was called to a Chicago
dispatch declaring that Senator Eustls
would go into the Senate Chamber
determined TO oppose the confirmation
OF appointments right and left"
In reply to request for his opln-
ION as to the truth OF the report, Ma
Jor Bnrke SAID:
Snch statements are without topn'
datton and are unjust to the Senator.
lie is Democrat, has every disposi-
ton to sustain a democratic admins
tratlon and VIII, l feel assured, be dis
posed to promote its success. Where
appointments are proper ones, | have
no doubt that Mr.. Eustis will promptly
sustain them"
"What tgere the causes of Eustis'
dlscontentT
/" "Eustis has strong convictions
touching party questions, and believes
that the people intended to invest the
Democratic party with the full respon-
sl6ilIty OF an honest reform in the ad-
ministration of all departments of the
government, as well as those positions
covered by the civil service regula-
tionsa he claims that these reforms
can be best accomplished by placing
honest, capable Democrats in every
position of trust, so that the heads of
all departments and the party in con
troll of the government may have the
active cooperation of subordinates
throughout in sympathy with the aims
and purposes OF the administration"
4" How about the civil service laws|
Eustis has frequently said that the
President could not be criticised for
executing the civil service law. 1t
was his plain duty. His criticisms ap- |
Piled to the presidential policy, in SO
far as it tended to keep Republicans
in Office, to the manner Of exercising
it under Republican auspices, and to
regulations operating harshly against
Democrats and in favor of Repub-
leans"
"Does Eustis favor repeal of the
awT
Z" cannot say whether he fayors
repeal Of the law, or amendments that
will promote the practical execution of
he purposes of the measure"
did not Eustis' dissatisfaction with
he President originate in his refusal
o appoint Eustis' friend as collector
md because Of Jonas appointment as
collector Of New Orleansf
No. Jonas was not appointed col
eetor for several weeks after Eustis
lad expressed himself respecting the
administrations in fact, only one APP
continent had been made in Louis
ana at that time-Mr. Kernochan,
laval officer"
Was not that appointment the
iause Of the estrapgement between
tustis and the PresidentT
think it was, primarily, The
President appointed Kernocban with
ut inquiry or reference to political
objections, and without reference to
he information filed at the Treasury.

The improvement of West Bridge street
from Alabama street to Gold street causes
great deal of inconvenience to all who have
business at the West Side depots. The

West Division street. and will not be COM
pleted across the railroad tracks for week
yet. As soon a. the sewer Is finished the
grading and paving will be commenced, and
the street will be IN bad condition for the
greater part of the Summer. Contractor
Matheson says that he expects TO make 1t
the finest piece OF pavement in the city. The
street Is to be graded with the best of gravel
and then covered with sand, thus forming
