This advancement Is the world 8 wonder.
The nations of the earth cannot furnish
such d splendid exhibition of progress in
any age or period We defy revenue
tariff policy to present such AN exhibition
of material prosperity and industrial de-
yelOpment. Arts, science and literature
have held their own in this wonderful
march. We are prosperous today beyond
any other people. The masses are better
cared for. better provided for. more self
respecting and more Independent than ever
before in our history, which cannot be
said of the masses Of other countries.
One of the striking differences between
revenue tariff and u protective tariff is
that the former sends the money of it's
people abroad for foreign supplies and
seeks out foreign market. The latter
keeps the money at home among our own
people, circulating through the arteries of
trade. and creates a ma, ket at home, which
is always the best because the most reli-
able.

truth about Kansas, AZ about every

the country correspondence. This tells
the straight story about the weather,

that the editor tells less rather than
more than the truth.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN,
Ofthe Louisiana Weather Service, 70
the Week Ending March Fl.

Temperature-The first two days of
the week temperatures above the aver
age were reported, but the cold wave
of Tuesday and It's atiendeni frostS
again checked the growing crops; the
continued cold weather since then has
been unfavorahe to planting interests.
The average temperature FOR the week
was slightly below the normal! for that
period Of former years. The highest
temperature reported was SO degrees,
and the lowest SO degrees, both from
the northern section Of The State.
There remaius slight seasonal def
cheney in the mean temperature of
Louisiana since January l, ranging
from tw0-tenthS of a degree in the
southern TO one and one-half degrees
in the northern section.
RaiDfall-An average deficiency of
half an iuch in The rainfall for the
past week is noted in the northern
portion Of the State, and an excess of
one inch in the central and southeastern
portions, with nurtust amount in the
southwestern portion. This increases
the seasonal excess for the southeastern
section, making ii about three and one
half inches above the normal for the
period from January ! to dale.
The rains of the past week fell on
the 10th and Goth. General rains are
predicted for Louisiana for to-day, eX-
tending into to>fnorroW.
Sunshinc-The percentage OF sun
shine has averaged from . to 10 per
cent above the normal fer the week
the greatest excess bt:rg reported from
the Southern portion.
Frus;--Killins frost occurred Oh the
Dist and 22od in the Northern section,
and light frosts are reported on the
same dates from certain parishes in the
Southern section.
General IemarsS-Th& weather con-
ditioss during the past week have
been rather unfavurable to the ag-
ricultural Interests Of The State, in
that the rainfall of the early part ct the
week was followed by decided cold
wave, retarding ihe growth of crops
in the Southern section, and the plant
ing of cotton and cora in the North
ern section.
Reports are received from the central
portion Of The State that the late kill
Ing frosts have greatly damaged the
young corn, and that many farmers
will have 10 repiant all their crops.

SOMETHING PERSONAL.

The Monroe Bulletin, being unable
70 cope with the TELEGRAPH in the
of the political issues now
before the people of this parish, adopt
ed the weapons of the bully and black
guard last Wednesday by making an
uncalled for personal attack upon the
TELEGRAPH and its editor, hoping
thereby to detrsc, attention from the
issues in which the people are inter-
ested and to browbeat and iDtimidate
the TELEGRAPH into silence.
The organ Of the ring reckoned with
out it's host.
As far as the charges made by the
Bulletin against the TELEGRAPH and
| its editor are concerned no defense is
necessary, for the people Of this parish
will know that they are malicious and
aud gratuitous ISLANDERS. Like a
boomerang they will react upon their
author for all decent people have d
contempt for such blackguardism and
any journal that INDUCES in it.
In this connection the editor of the
TELEGRAPH addressed note 10 the
editor of the Bulletin on yesterday and
received the following reply:
MONROE, March Both, 1888.
Mr.. G. III. Trouadale, Monroe, La.
Sir: I am not personally responsible
for the articles referred to in your note
of this date, and 1 freely state that
have not intended by anything pub.
llshed in the Bulletin to reflect on your
honor or character as gentleman.
Yours, &C., w. II. GAYLE.
So there is snake in the grass
some one in the dark, behind tree
who shoots SANDER, vituperation and
abuse at the editor of the TELEGRAPH
and would assassInate his character. I
the editor of the TELEGRAPH objects
the assassin is irresponsible"
For such man, one who would at
tack another in the cowardly manner
employed in this case, over the shout.
ders of another, the editor Of the TELE
GRAPH has the profoundest contempt
and he deserves the contempt of oil
honorable men. With this statement
the matter is dismissed go far as I an
concerned.
