There are two sets of officers in
the parish who have Justly won the
approval, by their efficient financial
administration, of all classes OF our
citizens. It is needless TO say that
We refer to the present police jury
and school board. The handsome
surplus in the treasury, aggregating
some s22,543, is a financial fact, and
an argument so conclusive as to re-
auire no analysis. Governor Nichols
administration will, no doubt, be
petitioned to change both these sets
of officers, but their reappointment,
excepting those who will not consent
to serve another term, will give
greater satisfaction and a eurer guar.
antee for the efficient administration
o: public affairs than that OF new
.embers.

Captain John Mccormick, Of the
Lake Charles Commercial. thinks the
present legislature should pass a law
against miscegenation. Such a law
would most undoubtedly meet with
the unqualified approval of all good
people throughout the State, and it
is sincerely hoped by US that it will
become a law, and a severe penalty
attached thereto for its violation.

Signal Corps Service.

W.
Weather kilograms, storm Signals
and meteorological observations are
fast reducing the science to certain
comprehension, although, for some
time, seamen were inclined to ridi-
Guile the idea Of signaling a storm in
it's approach. So much benefit has
been derived from this source that
all prejudice is flying before its con-
vinciug truth, aad American genius
stands IS acknowledged in this more
than valuable discovery by al.
nations.
at is around the great lakes Of
America" says Margolle, the emf.
Eent French meteIologist, where
disasters are SO frequent, that this
| system o. communication was first
put in play to signal the approach
Of storms"
The general course and direction
Of storms are so we'll understood
now as being governed, to a great
extent, by the motion of the earth,
that they are traceable with almost
as much certainty as is tie far.famcd
gulf stream. It is fully ascertaiued,
or at least believed, that storms are
not now wild, cratic offspring OF
accident, but are governed and
guided i'll their motion by fixed laws.
1t is upon this theory that the sig.
nails are valuable.
We have the absolute proof Of
the value of signals in several in.
stances where they have proved Of
benefit. In 1859 a storm struck the
western coast Of Texas March 18th.
One day later it had reached Chica.
60, and still another day it reached
the Atlantic coast; thus showing, had
we been blessed with storm signals
then, as now, the most Of the two
millions Of property destroyed on
the lakes by that storm might have
been saved. The lower animal often
see and foretell the sudden changes
Of weather. Why may not man?
Storms have been signalled from
Chicago to Buffalo and Cleveland
in time for all needed preparations
to preserve life and property; and
the anne to New York and Boston.
Science is yet in its infancy, aud the
time may not be far distant when
the storm will be managed as sue
cessfully as the lightning is, and
subdued as easily. and made to serve
mans purpose. 1t is true that mis-
takes ~foretelling a storm may some
times happen, but this does not prove
that the science is an erroneous one
by any means.
The National Signal Service is
doing all in its power to promote
the work of the State services, furn.
ishiDg experienced officers as direc.
tors, instructions to the various
observers, franked forms, etc.; but
the work in Louisiana being purely
for the benefit Of the people of the
State, and to attract the outside
world to its Incompatible climate,
the legislature should make the nee.
essary appropriation for il; and it
is to be hoped that our senators and
representatives will not overlook
this important matter, and see that
an appropriation is at once made for
this valuable service.

Walter Evans Speech.

The court house was filled last Fri
day to hear the Hon. Walter Evans
speak on the political issue-we use
the singular because there is really
but on issue, the tariff. The crowd
was composed largely of the colored
element,-about two-thirds-white
Republicans and Democrats being
Nabout equal in number. In speaking
of the personal merits of the two
Presidential candidates Mr.. Evans
spoke of his own party candidate and
Mr.. Cleveland in the most compli-
mentary terms. The speaker then
investigated the Presidents political
record, waived the bloody shirt for
awhile, then spoke of the good old
days of Republicanism, referred to
the change that had taken place from
a Republican to Democratic admin
istration, and OF course predicted the
triumph of his party to-day. He
said that the great platform writer,
Mr.. Watterson, had said that the
Democrats are nothing if not free
traders. lie disagreed with Mr.. Wat
terson on this point, for the Demo
Gratis are something-"they licked us
four years ago'-theY are something
and there's good many of them
He then turned his attention to the
tariff question and made very fine
argument from Republican stand
poiut. He was frequently applauded
by his audience. There was nothing
bitter in speech, and our old towns
man did more probably for the.
doomed party in this section than
any one else could have done.
