The minutes of former meeting an
proved. whereupon Major Richardson
Submitted tie report of the Board of
State Engineers. aud with the assist
ance of Mr.. Lewis Engineer made detail
reports as to special %levee>, and stated
that Davis Crevasse levee WAS in as
good condition as could be expected
and was considered safe E; that a force
of Is men were constantly watching
the levee and doing work thereon, and,
N case OF emergency, the force would
be increased at present the levee was
fully fleet above high water mark Of
1884. That in this district new leyees
would be probably required in the
following parishes St. James, St. John

levees. In Jefferson, from Bells Gre
vase to Company Canal would likely
require before long and in the main a
new levee.
Mr.. Gardere moved to revoke a tor
mer resolution of the Board. ask ing the
General Assembly TO provide tor an
amendment Of the constitution in or
der to authorize the Board to levee a
a tax not to exceed ten mills for levee
purposes, Mr.. Gardere stating that FIVE
mills was a sufficient burden upon the
people. The motion was unanimously
carried. Thereupon the Board fixed
the levee tax to be levied for 1886 at
five mills.-Gretna Sun.

the campaign of 1884.
How can the Caledonian consistently
support candidate who voted for Mr..

A LEADING correspondent in Wash

Gratis in congress are quietly making an
effort to bring about reconciliation
with the President.

to the present administration " often

most extraordinary manifestation of
"reform" for the President to place
himself as an accuser of six hundred
forty-three public officers, whom he had
suspended, at the same time denying
to them information as to the things
of which they were accused. The Pres
ident now asked the senate to join him
in his accusations, and when the senate
requested to be informed concerning
the official conduct of the accused Of
fcers it was fatty told that no informa-
ton would be given. This was not the
theory of the Constitution, and the adj
ministration, Wilson said, in conclu
sion, had been engaged in com
edy of errors" Its position, in the
light of all that had been promised, was
not little discouraging.
The next speech on the subject was
made on Friday by Senator McKenna
of West Virginia. He said no man de-
MED the senate's right to call on the
President for even private letter in
his pocket, but no rational man would
deny the President an equal right to
decline to send it, if he chose. He
quoted also from message of Presi-
dent Grant to the house of representa-
tives, dated May a, 1876, declining to
furnish certain information which he
said related exclusively to the execu-
tive function. He also read from let
ter of Sherman, when secretary of the
treasury, relating to the removal of
Arthur from the collectorship of New
York In that letter Sherman said to
make an official reply would compel
him to disclose matters contained in
papers of a confidential character filed in
the department. Mr.. McKenna said he
believed that the true question at issue
here was whether the President should
be allowed, in the fulfllment of his OBJ
legations to the people, to administer
the government through agencies of
his own choice, or be compelled by the
| BoNOl VI thO vi
the senate to administer and be re-
sponsible for the government through
agencies not of his own choice; and
not only so, but agencies lacking his
confidence, and, in multitude of cases,
actually interested in bringing him and
his administration into disrepute. The
issue, after all, was whether the demo-
cratic administration should appropri-
ately perform its functions in the face
of a negative obstructive majority on
the other side of the chamber.
On Monday Senator Cullom of Hi
nois took the floor to speak on the reso-
lutions, but on the announcement of
the death of Representative Hahn the
senate adjourned.

clique and the sorehead democrats -
OF the state seem to be multiplying.
The Brattleboro Ph@nir has just
evolved from its profound inner con-
seriousness a definite plan for the Sc
lection of republican candidates for the
principal state offices. 1t prescribesI
that every candidate must be sim
cere and outspoken " Edmunds man,
and that he must favor state supervise
ion of railroads. This is its utmatum Il
and now we suppose if majority of
the republican party in the state do mott
endorse the programme, then the " dis
ruption of the party" suggested by the|
Ph@nir some time ago, will be the in
evitable result. We learn, however,
that there is not a little disposition
manifested among republicans in Wind
ham county to repudiate the dictatoral
assumptions of this apologist for mug
wump methods and policies.
SENATOR EDMUNDs has reported from
the committee on judiciary in favor of
an amendment to the general appropria-
ton bill providing for the collection of
statistics touching marriage and divorce
throughout the country. The report
says that, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, the importance of procuring
such statistics is great, that they ought
to be collected and made public through
some department of the general gov
eminent, and finds that the new bureau
of labor is legally competent for the
work. AS this measure is approved by
members of the administration and
leading men of all parties, it is probable
that it will become law. If it does,
the country will be put in possession of
an exceedingly valuable mass of ma
terial bearing on a great national
problem.
THE correspondent who caught Ed
munds and Cleveland joking together
at the Presidents reception, and saw
Miss Cleveland shake her finger play
fully at the fierce old senator in mo-
ment of social softening, deserves the
thanks of the country. His letter re-
lieves the tension of popular anxiety
and assures the public that the contro-
versy is purely Pickwickian, and does
not involve any serious danger to the
welfare and safety of the state. We
are reminded of the sense of relief that
filled the youthful mind in the distant
days of our apprentice experience in a
country printing office, when we saw
our editor and his rival, who had been
numbering each other in their weekly
issue of Wednesday afternoon, quietly
taking a drink together over the same
bar on Wednesday evening. We knew
that the country was safe, and it was
a great comfort waterbury Conn.,,

organized labor will succeed according
to the Justice of its demands, if its
methods are wise and conservative.
Mr.. Powderly, the head of the Knights
of Labor organization, takes a very
sensible view of the situation. He
holds that the strike is a wasteful and
barbarous method of settling disputes
and differences which may arise be-
tween employers and workmen, and
that it is for the interest of each to en-
ploy arbitration in its place. He further
holds, which is significant, considering
the number and extent of strikes at
present in operation, that in most cases
strikes are unnecessary. He is con-
WINGED that employers were never so
ready as at present to submit questions
in dispute to fair and reasonable adju-
dication. This is disposition on their
part which deserves appreciation, and
workingmen cannot afford to produce
reaction in the public mind against
themselves by resorting to strikes ex-
cept in extreme cases where arbitra-
ton is refused them. Mr.. Powderly
denies that the order proposes to take
an active part in partisan politics, and
declares that the Knights of Labor can
not be used as political force. But it
is going to be difficult for the leaders to
restrain the injudicious advisers and
turbulent elements that are commonly
found in such organizations. There
are discussions in the ranks of the Or
der over methods of policy, and in some
cases they have aroused the hostility of
other labor organizations. The pros
perity of the order now depends upon
the ability of its leaders to control it by
methods that will merit public respect
and confidence.
