The Times Democrat, in regard to th

The Times-Democrat, in regard to the
cost of living, says:
Those who complain of hard times
should remember that while wages and
salaries are undoubtedly low the cost OF
all articles of food and wearing apparel
are even more reduced. With much
smaller wages, therefore, than ten years
ago one can actually live far more COM
fOrtably to-day.
Cheap food is undoubtedly an advan-
tage to those who have the money to
buy; but what difference does it make
to those who have no money, whether
the price of food is high or low? II is
a mockery to tell the unemployed starv-
ing thousands up North, that food is
cheap. Wherefore, the best occupation
for the laborer is to till the soil and
make his own food.

The police jury has appointed one
hundred and fifty road overseers. Ii
all these overseers were organized into
q body Of workmen, with one foreman
or none at all, and put to work on the
roads, there would soon be better ROADS
than the parish has ever had. AS 1t IS
this big appointment of road oVerseers
Is a farce; the roads have not been
worked, and they will not be worked
The biggest show of working the roads
Is on paper in the proceedings OF the
s,olice Jury. The amount Of work ac-
f,,alIy done will be in the inverse pro-
norton to the number of overseers APP
Dointed. Of course making the APP
g,ointments is all the police jury can DO
but that trouble might just as well be
saved. Every parish ought to work It's
own convicted criminals OH the public
roads I: for what is called honest labor
is bitterly averse to working them
This would be benefit to the parish
and tend to reduce the corruption fund
by which the penitentiary ring helps e
misgovern the State.

The city of New Orleans, like the
State of Louisiana, is loaded down with
a lot of charitable institutions and use
less officials that are more expensive
than profitable. The States says:
The Boys House Of Refuge is an ex~
pense to the city. It's management is
anything but satisfactory, and if an ar
rangement can be made by which va
grant children can be properly provided
for it would be great benefit to them
and a relief to the city. 1t would di-
minish the patronage of some OF the
commissioners and reduce the number
of paid officials. But this is what is
most desirable at the present time. Ii
has been suggested that the children
in the House of Refuge be transferred
to one of the orphan asylums, there to
be retained until they arrive at an age
when they can be made useful. An
annual appropriation of say, one-hali
the present cost of maintaining the
House of Refuge, would be ample fol
the support Of these special inmates OF
the asylum that may be selected fol
their keeping.

land along the Mississippi to the Gulf
will be overfowed, unless the levees are
raised high enough to meet the new
conditions and it calls on Congress, if
that body order the closing Of the At

provisions for raising the levees. With
the Atchafalaya open, the levees do not
prevent overflow south Of Red river !;
this shows how inefii 3ient the levees
will be, even if raised, if the Atchafala-
