Union. Once his teacher, who was over
six feet tall and solemn i'm appearance,
came to his room to expostulate with him
for what he considered the boys frivolous
ways. Mr.. Beecher was expecting the
visit and had pat into the wood-closet all
the chairs except one which had been
sawed of AT the joint and stood about q
through the hole i'm the students table
and seated meckly among his books

heard and u solemn face appeared way up

would show him tn IA seat.
"sDon't move for the world,'' said
the professor; ~ only called To have a
little conversation with yon."
Certainly said Mr.. Beechcr, ''pray sit
down." at the same time indicating the
only chair.
The tutor looked at the low seat with
some uncertainty and then commenced
the process of sitting down. He went

A farmer. while c~ow-huutinR near Sanp-

which, Judging from the birds strange he
havior, something of interest must he
going on. The buzzarls were gathered
around "a large dead alligator and one of

himself. Finally his comrades hit the cap

scream with pain, hut released him. Upon
examination the farmer found that the

while the saurian was alive. A hole just
big enough for the turtles head had been
made in the gators head by the birds. 10y

TIE L.4FdYETTE AND GRETNd
.4FF9IRS

It seems that South Louisiana, hay B
ing lain dormant during TIE period OF
revolution which relieved this State
from radical rule, has waited until we
have the government thoroughly III
our hands to begin the work of elm
mating the negro. We venture to-
suggest that this is very inopportune
season TO raise the race issue. Some
thirteen years ago this issue was set
tied in Louisiana. The Caucasian
then assumed the reins of government,
and in his hands have they been held
to this day. AS we declared in our
issue of last week-if there are any
wrongs that require righting now, we
ought TO be able to attend to the mat
ter through our own officials. We
elected this State government; 1t Is
democratic, root and bragch, and ii
surely can prevent the domination Of
the negro. If it cannot, We have
chosen wofully inefficient set of
. officials.
The recent occurrences at Lavfay-
cite and Gretna are thoroughly mex
cusable. 1t makes little difference
what was the issue. If right could
not triumph through the laws made
and executed by our own officials, then
self government by the whites of Lou
isiana is worse than a farce-it is a
roaring farce. 1t is claimed in the
case of Lafayette that the negroes
were going to vote for an obnoxious
set of officials. But the leading cam
dilate on the alleged obnoxious ticket
was Mr.. w b. Bailey, editor of the
Lafayette Advertiser, staunch dem
ocratic newspaper, that has never
leaned to radicalism. In Gretna there
was fear of a negro uprising. Nc
negroes ''uprose," however, nor die
they fire shot.
The BEACON is not an apologist fol
the negro. 1t believes that the white
man should rule him, but it believes
that the negro should not be treated
inhumanly. A good, strong hanc
should the Caucasian have in matter
of government, but he should not op-
press and maltreat. The negro shoul'
I be given justice, but not the reins Q
government.
D The people of Louisiana seem t
have perfect genius for maxim
blunders at the most inopportun
S seasons. Now, when northern capita
v is gradually coming within or border
S and preparing to construct railroad
g and factories and mills, and to engag
in other industries, a few hundre
white men in South Louisiana with
fancied grievance put all our prospe'
tive prosperity in peril. 1t is tim
for the thinking men of the State
say that law and order shall prevail

gers attending leyees on the bank OF
the river. how carefully they have TO
be guarded during high water how
frequently crevasses occur from cav
ING banks and other causes too numer-
Gus to mention. With this inner line
of levees, such as is specified IN the
contract, floods may come, levees may
break. crevasses occur, and still we
are safe from overflow and the dis
asters attending.
Even if Il front levee is cheaper at
the outset, yet is it not costller IN the
end? For ten years We tax ourselves
to build this inner line of levee repre-
.en;el bv the bed of the railroad; we
donate ninety per cent. of our waste
and forfeited lands, and then all tax
alton ceases. Our children and our
cLildrens children are forever re-
lieved from the burden which we
have borne for them. We give to
them legacy of freedom from the
rapacity of the tax-gatherer. As at
present taxation must continue IN
definitely, and at the same time we
ora NOT secrre from inundation. In
building front levees we are only
handing down load of debt to be
discharged annually by the generations
to follow us.
These views are only offered as
suggestions. The space allotted in
newspaper article is too limited to
set forth our duties in the case.
How can our people oppose this X
r. or levee on the grounds that thu
is great corporation, when in fac
this property has passed from TIN
parishes long since and the State /
deriving no benefit from them what
ever, while the parishes have abso
lutely lost all right. Build this rail
road and the parish and State get
revenue by saXation, which is certain
" a clear gain to the parishes.

THE LII, hRK. IND MO. r. n.

The proposal of the Tensas Basin
Levee District to aid in the construc-
ton of the contemplated railroad from
Brinkley, Ark, to Alexandria, La,
together with the taxes voted by the
different parishes through which the
proposed line is to run, constitutes a
subsidy that should, and doubtless
will, ensure its speedy completion.
1t is stated, on good authority, that
the lands offered by the Levee Dis
trict will aggregate near FIVE hundred
thousand acres. These lands, at
present without any real value, are
destined to become very valuable,
especially so if this road is construc-
ted. The tax of FIVE mills for ten
wears on an assessment of over three
millions of dollars does not now
amount to great deal, but the en-
HANGED values of all properties will
annually increase this source Of reve-
nue..
The question arises, are we paying
too much for the advantages that will
follow the construction of this rail-
road? As to the tax to be levied,
the people, mho are generally right,
have decided the matter for, and to
snit themselves. How about the lands
offered by the Levee District? That
these lands are now worthless, or are
so considered, is proved by the fac,
that though they were assessed al
less than fifty cents per acre, yet theil
owners have long since forfeited then
to the State for taxes. For year,
they have not paid to the State or t.
1.-THE parishes any revenue. If they
are earned by the railroad under tn,
contract with the Leyee Board, they
at once go on the rolls and will b
assessed as are other lands. In ad
dition to this these lands will then b
settled and cultivated, for there ar
none more fertile, and thereby popu
lation and values will be greatly Ell
HANGED.
There are other. and still create
advantages to accrue from the build
ing Of this road. Under the contrac
with the Leyee Board the rosdbe'
itself constitutes an inner line Q
levees in that portion of Arkansa
through which the food waters Of tn
Mississippi inundate our entire sec
ton. It may be true. as has beel
asserted By some, that cheaper lin
Of Ierees can be built ON the Missis

had been to her fathers and after
spending the day, started home, 60

If the tax is voted in favor Of the

A preliminary survey is now being

THIBoDAUx, May 13.-The ninth
annual session of the Louisiana Press
Association opened at Thibodaux to-
night.
A large number of delegates left
New Orleans on the Southern Pacific
at lids a. m, reaching here about 3
p. NJ, when they were met at the de-
pot by committee of citizens and
treated to some excellent music by
the Thibodaux brass band, and car
riages were in attendance and the
visitors were conducted to the vari-
ous hotels, restaurants and private
residences at which accommodations
had been secured for them.
During the afternoon most of them
took tour around town, seeing its
various sights.
The convention was called to order
at Fireman's Hall at $50 p. m. The
hall is a very large one, and in ad-
dition to the editorial party Of about
100, was filled by some 400 or 500
citizens of Thibodaux, including a
large number of ladies. The stage
upon which were seated the officers
of the association-Gen. Jastremski,
president; Mrs. Bentley, vice presi-
dent, and Miss McGrath, secretary
was beautifully decorated with flow
ers.
After music an address of welcome
was read by Mr. j. Louis Aucoin,
mayor of Thibodaux, in which he
greeted the visiting journalists, Of
fered them the inequalities of the
town and hoped that they would en-
Joy their visit here.
Major S. 7. Grisamore, president o.
the police jury, then delivered 6
second address of welcome on behal
, of the people of Lafourche. He gave
very interesting review Of the par
ish, its resources and possibilities.
Miss Chel then sang charmin;
song, "Salut la Presse," the word
, of which are by Mr.. Gentil, of tn

t Gen. Leon Jastremski, Othe Lou
E isiana Review, president of the Pres

I the association. He called attention
r to the fact that there were but twenty
q one members present at the first meet
3 ing, whereas the roll of the associa
O ton now showed over 100. Nor
Y than half of the members were pres
e ent at this meeting. He spoke of th
y ladies and gentlemen who had bee
e most conspicuous in forming and aif
/ ing the association, and spoke ,
e those of the members who had bee

Il Gen. Jastremski pointed out no
