LOUISIANA ZEGzsL1TURE.


The General Assembly Of the State
Of Louisiana, met on Monday last
Tho Senate WAS called 10 order 1t
1920. The new Senators, Il. 4. Lewis,
b. g. Montgomery, Il. ]. Joifrion and
W. w. Vance, were sworn In, after
which, % motion 81 Senator Daxey, 4
committee was appointed 10 notify tho
Governor the Senate was organized
and ready to receive any communion
tions 10 desired 10 make.
The House was called to order by
Speaker Ogden At - d., and notified
Senate they were ready for business.
The Governors message was read and
referred 70 appropriate committees.
Everything went of peacefully and
quietly, no disposition Of desire to re.
organize the body. Speaker Ogden
seemed to be the unanimous choice.
Mr. Hunter, Of Rapides, who was
Speaker 0gden's opponent at the last
aession, expressed himself very favor
ably, and no doRbt spoke the anani.
nous sentiment of the House when he
said; Speaker Ogden discharged his
duties ably, and that the members are
satisfied and desire no change
Speaker Ogden thinks the general
feeling and desire on the part of all
the members is to serve the State to
the best Of their knowledge. All
seemed TO be in friendly frame Of
mind. Its to be hoped this even
temper and friendly frame of mind
may be kept up during the entire SEES
sion of this body, as there will come
up some very important measures
which viii require leyeI-headed men to
manage.
Among the country members the
principal topic seems to be the repeal
Of the lien law. They seem to have
gotten hold Of the idea that the lien
law extends in some way more credit,
and the more credit offered the farmer
the greater his expenses will be, as be
will accept this credit. Then the cnt-
ting off Of this extensive credit by re.
pealing the lein law, win necessarily
bring about self-reliance, and self-re-
lance is Immediately and directly
connected with self-sustaining.

Chicago Riot.

Work has been resumed in many
places. The socialist movement in
Chicago, and other places, where so
many persons were killed last week,
is at stand still--no more violence
offered. The work of killing has been
done, and the hereafter must be met.
1t does seem to us the socialists will
learn after a while, that if they are al
lowed liberty of speech, they are not
allowed liberty of murder.
Dynamite and destruction are get
ting entirely too common, and those
miscreants who, for every little pre-
text, are ready to settle their Difficult
ties by killing their man, should have
justice meted ont to them without
mercy
The Knights of Labor have shown
themselves, in this Chicago movement,
against these beastly acts and have
placed themselves on the side of law
and order to help put down this great
uprising against the officers of the
law and private citizens.

Edagerley MINIS.

These mills, situated one and one
half miles east of Edgerley, La, are
now in first-class order, under the
management of Mr.. W. D. Mearns.
Mr.. r. j. Cessford, formerly of Lake
Charles, is foreman, and with his prac-
teal knowledge Of the saw mill bust
moss, is running the mill for all it is
worth. The daily cut Of lumber is
from twenty-eight to thirty thousand
feet, with only nineteen hands, includ-
ing those who run the planer. Thirty
three hands in all arc employed to
handle the logs and lumber from
where the logs are left by the carry
logs.
The tram-road is in good condition,
and the little engine, "General Ector,"
is delivering lao logs per day, which
the sawyer, Mr.. Fred Reid, almost as
rapidly turns into good merchantablc
lumber.
Mr.. Mearns is paying his hands in
cash every two weeks, and this amount,
say about $4,000 per month, put in
circulation, makes things quite lively
around the little town of Edgerley.
The merchants, Mr.. J. 7. Davidson,
S, R. Lyons d Bro, and Andrus g.
Webre, are all doing quite a lively
business,

May 10, 1896, I
We are having some "weather" up
here in the "corner," sometimes a reg.
ular soaker; then a hail-big, round
and pointed hail. Our old friend David
Morrow said he picked up Maidstone
that measured two and half inches in
diameter. All this comes OF being
parallel with LeesyilIe.
Farmers are hopeful, though very
much behind, owing TO the incIemency
of the weather; but we believe we will
yet have good crop year. Solomon
said, "He that regardeth the weather
in sowing time will not reap" 4 quote
from memory. Stock are doing we'll.
The Rev. Isaac Hamilton breaches
for us regularly the second Sabbath in
each month. Mr.. H. is an earnest
Christian, and one of our best minis
tiers. He is an able and worthy cham
pion of the gospel.
Well, prohibition we believe is solid.
The whisky party has made a strong
effort to kill prohibition, but failed.
We are prond of onr Police Jury and,
our District Attorney. Hc has made
for himself large place in the hearts
of our people by his earnest efforts for
the general good of our parish. We
have a noble and bold champion in
the Tom Talk. We are proud of it
and are standing by it.
Wishing you the success yon so
richly deserve, am as ever,
UNCLE FULLER.

A BILL has been introduced into the
Lower House of Congress and referred
to the Judiciary committee, to revive
the captured and abandoned property
acts, so as TO allow claimants another
chance IN which to file suits in the
Court of Claims. During the war
and Immediately afterward, the United
States Government seized and coHfs-
Gated property, the proceeds of which
stood on the treasury books, S3l, 1922
466.20. This has been reduced by
payments TO loyal claimants and in
other ways, to lo,5l2,0o7 90; this
latter sum remaining in the treas
ury to the credit of this fund, and it
is this the reviying Of this bill pro-
poses to dispense to the proper cred
itors. There was a provision in tine
first act limiting the time TO two
years after the rebellion, and requiring
all claimants to establish their loyalty.
In language TO be understood, The
property was taken mostly from Con
federate soldiers and sympathizers,
and they were not considered loyal.
Just as the time expired for establish
ing claims, the President issued his
proclamation, July 4, 1868, extend
ing pardon to all, with few exceptions,
and afterward, in December, 1868,
pardoned all. This pardon, however,
did not come in time for them to es-
tablish their claims before the Court
before the law expired. We are I'M
able yet to see whether this bill has
for its object the dispensing of this
sum to the real owners or lawful heirs,
or not. 1t has some suspicious feat
nres about it which we propoes to
watch, and give to onr readers from
lime to time until it is disposed Of.
