DR.. Joseph Holt, OF New Orleans.

No better deserved compliment was
ever paid to a public official than that
embodied in the resolution of the New
Orleans Chamber of Commerce on
Tuesday night, on the subject Of DIR.
Joseph ITolt's rumored intention of re-
signing his position as President of
the Louisiana State Board of Health.
The entire public, not only of New
Orleans and of Louisiana, but of the
whole Mississippi Valley, will indorse
the hope expressed by the Chamber OF
Commerce that, unless great sacrifice
of health be involved, DR.. Holt win
not withdraw from a post which he
has held with SO much honor to him
self and benefit to the public. .
The resignation Of DR.. Holt would in
volve a serious public loss; and it Is
well that the Doctor should know that
the public would so regard il. If the
state of his health imperatively de-
mands a change of climate, there re-
mains, of course, nothing more to say
except to express regret both for the
loss of bis most valuable and efficient
services, and for the cause that neces-
states it. But If, as we trust may be
the case, there is no absolute necessity
for his resignation on the score OF
health, Louisiana will.bc united in re-
quiring him 20 retain his position

A Bad Gap.

We understand that the break in the
levee below town is still open and moth
ing has been done toward building a
hoop. The new lcvee will not be com
pleted by the time the rise comes and
unless something is done toward patch
ing up the old levee an overflow is
inevitable. An expenditure of few
thousand dollars would do all the
work necessary and insure us from
overflow, yet we understand the gov
ernment engineers are undecided.
Why they are undercided no sane man
could tell. Even If the new line be-
tween here and Old Eunice were COM
pletcd it would make a much better
lcvce if the water were held off of It
for one year. AS it is unless the hoop
is put in the country win be flooded
from here to the Louisiana line, and
thousands of dollars damage to prop
erty will be the result.-Arkansa

well begin to marshal our forces at

Eaten Almost Everything.


In recent interview Colonel Pat

United States in the White House, |

on earth. In many cases ! don't know
what have eaten, for have always
regarded it as bad taste to ask ques-

but | didn't know it; and what you
don't know does you no harm. When
the Sioux want to do you honor they
will serve you up roast dog. In Span
ish Honduras the dish Of honor is
baked monkey, and sweeter meat you
could not imagine. These monkeys
live up in the branches of trees and
on the vines their feet never touch
the earth beneath them, and they live
on the choicest nuts and fruits. No
chicken was ever so sweet and tender
as baked monkey.
II do confess, though, that on one
of the last occasions of my dining in
Spanish Honduras did not feel that
all was well when at the end of the
meal found | had stuffed myself with
baked lizard. OF course there is no.

petty prejudices. 1t tasted splendidly,

died recently, gave in trust to-day
property worth S250,0O0 to eight

oft expressed wishes. The real estate
is in the heart of the business portion

If the Legislature were to pass the
"revenue agent bill' 1t WOULD raise
racket in the Delta. 1t would doubt
less be good thing--for the revenue
agent. And by the auditors report
that official needs some legislation his
official fees bring less than 5000 for the
past year. Indeed unless the Legisla-
ture does something for that office it
had best be abolished and its functions
and fees devolved upon the District
Attorneys. If such a bill as that our
correspondent refers to, which has
drawn quite number of our citizens
to jackson to protest against it passes,
it would keep the State revenue agent
busy for the remainder of his life and
will recall to those who have purchas-
ed delta lands under previous abate-
ment acts the bitterness of carpet-bag
oppression and robbery under the form
of taxation. We cannot be brought to
believe such a measure possible; and
are only surprised that it should have
been conceived.

The Herald has doubtless been mis-
led by the title of bill introduced by
Senator Yerger relating to the SOUTH
ERN boundery of the lower district; and
is in error as to u bill defining the line
between the two districts. Such line
is settled and amply defined under any
fair construction of the acts creating
and bounding the two districts. The
question win not, we believe we are
warranted in saying, come up before
the Legislature. II should never have
been agitated or suggested,
What the Banner and the Herald
say as to the proper territory of the
two districts, is practically true; but
none the less any change is I'M
practicable. Hence tho true policy is
for the various counties of the Yazoo
Delta district to cultivate ideas and
sentiments of perfect identity of fleyee
interests; to repress jealousy and dis
trust.
