Louisiana is in a bad financial con
dition but not attributable to the
present administration as a man
Of half sense well knows. The
most economic and scarcest ap-
propriate bill passed since the war,
was at the last session of the Gen.
eral Assembly. McEnery's adj
ministration was said 10 be very
good and mighty progressive.
The latter branch of the asser-
tion is readily conceded. 1t pro

away beyond the revenues. Sucl,
progress brings inevitable bank
ruptsy in the end.

Yes, the fence law is coming

and many other enterprises to be

We met John Fitzpatrick in
New Orleans q few days since and
restudled him. Some of the prom
inent papers Of that city have been
heaping TRADES of abuse on him
for the last several years. This
man appears to have many cor
rect principles and proclivitles
about him, and according to our
opinion these TRADERS ought to be
eternally-we like to have said
damned, but the good people
might object TO that mode Of ex-
preston.

The law enacted at the last ses.
sion of the General Assembly
that provided for teaching in the
Public Schools, the effects Of mar.
cotics and stimulants on the hu.
man system, ia and will he one OF
the deadest statutes ever placed
on the books. 1t is we'll that such
will be it's fate.
Its effect, if put in practice,
would be injurious to an extreme
degree. Agitatlng the minds Of
the young continuously on the
subject of whisky drinking and
opium eating, however strong the
advice may be against these per-
nicious practices, is more likely to
induce the effect that it seeks to
AVOID. 1t is not from ignorance
that people destroy themselves by
excessive use Of these drugs.
Further, this law was intended
by those who shaped it up as a
beginning of a system Of laws,
which We consider outside the
proper scope of governmental
authority.
The world is too far advanced in
civilization, learning and good
morals, and Louisiana is to cos
mopolitan in her makeup, to swal-
low the bite code ofancient Con
nectieut.
The spirit OF the act in ques-
tion, is that Of the said code,
which is still a reproach to the
atate that governs its birth.

I gathered 2127 pounds of seed
cotton, My friends, the idea that
fertilizers are an injury TO crops
during protracted drouth should
forever be set at rest.
In addition to this l selected 70
acres Of very level hill land, prob.
ably 40 years old, and planted en-
the 18th Of May, distributing zoe
pounds of Gossyppium Phospbo to
the acre. From this | gathered
$50 pounds seed cotton per acre
From land 20 years Old l gathered
% bushels Of corn per acre, and
why should not these lands be
made to increase in production
from year to year. There are in
Claiborne parish thousands of
acres of land lying idle that would
with proper care and cultivation
yield splendid results. Claiborne
has ever boosted of her thrifty
and intelligent farmers, plenty OF
timber, good water and other adj
van,ages too numerous to mention
here. With our present railroad
facilities there is nothing to re.
tard the progress Of our beautiful
and much beloved Country, the
home Of the rich. the home cf the
poor.
Now, my friends, one word for
our beautiful and picturesque lit.
tie city ofHomer. Scarcely twelve
months have elapsed since the
whistle from the railroad engine
was heard within its Incorporated
limits. Magnificent two.stcry
brick stores have been and are be-
ing erected; beautiful residences
have been built in all directions
from the public square; emigra-
ton is pouring in from every quar-
ter, and at no distant day Homer
is destined to be.the largest place
between the Red and Ouachita
rivers. The merchants are gen.
tlemen, who are in every respect
competent for the task before
them-some that we're with US du-
ring the darkest days of Claiborne
but why speak of the past when
all now is peace, prosperity and
happiness.
In conclusion. my friends. ]
cannot refrain from referring to
the quiet and digniGed manner in
which Mayor Ward. and City Mar
shall, Harris, have conducted their
respective Offices, which has been
prominent feature in thc pres
ent, snd Will adi largely to The
future prosperity Of i.oias::, ana
to- day, there isn't q city nowhere
to be found SO large and yet so
quiet. Ny friends, visit Homer.

A railroad commisson might be

tlce and oppression if confined in
Its powers to compelling the
owners to keep their roads in
good condition. 1t is doubtful if
its power should extend beyound
this. In fact the whole thing
might, We think, with advantage,
be let alone, for the present rail
road Development has been slow
in North Louisiana, and is yet in
its infancy. A commission is con-
sidcred to be against their,nterest
and as such would retard their
building and woald tend to pre-
vent the investment of capital in
that business. 1t is very per,lous
to these enterprises for legisla.
tive bodies to commence, tamper-
ing with them. The average
legislator knows very little about
railroad matters and if these need
regulation he is poorly qualified to
know what sortof regulations to
adopt.

ALL THE reports from Johnstown
seems to show that the corporation
owning the reservoir are responsible
for the damage and loss of life caused
by the bursting of the dam. Among
the latest reports, is statement from
Hubert Weber, employed as guard
OF the reservoir, who tells the follow
ing story:
He had repeatedly called the attention
oil the members of the club to the var
ious leskages at the dam, but he received
the stereotyped reply that the masonry
was all right; that it. had been 'built 10
stand Tor centuries" aud that such
thing as Its giving way was among the
impossibilities. But Weber did not
hesitate TO continue his warnings. Finally,
according to his own statement, he was
instructed to "shut up or he would be
bounced" He was given to understand
that the officers OF the club were tired Of
his croakings, and taat the less he said
about the dam from thence on, the better
1t would be for him.
Weber then laid his complaint before
the Mayor of JohDstown, not more than
a month ago lie tol1 bin that the
spring ireshets were due and that If they
should be very heavy the dam would GER
talnly give way. Webher says that the
Mayor promised to send an expert to eN-
anime the dam then, and If necessary to
APPEAL to the State Somehow the expert
was not chosen, the appeal was not made
at Harrisburg and the catastrophe en-
sued.
This same man declares that had the
dam been repaired as it should have
been, this disaster would rot have oc-
Cured. If his testimony is true, it
goes far toward fixing the RESPONSE
biity for this terrible catastrophe, and
shows that 1t was caused by the most
inexcusable negligence on the part OF
the members OF this association. If
this should prove to be the fact, these
men should be made to pay dearly fol-
their folly.

THE REPORT of County Treasurer
Hannah shows that there is yet over
thirty six thousand dollars unpaid
taxes in this county from collectors
outside the city. The report also says
the collectors Tor this city have settled
in full, but we have no DOUBT that if
they had collected the taxes which
many OF our citizens were anxious
and willing to pay there would have
been at least twenty THOUSAND dollars
more in the county trcasurer's hands.
We do not know how the collectors
outside of the city have acted. but if
they have not done any better than
the old collectors in this city did, the
only wonder is that there is not twice
thirty-six thousand dollars optstand-
ing. 1t seems TO have been the rule
in this city how not TO collect taxes, al
least from Republicans, and conse.
quently the county has had 20 borrow
money on interest to meet the eX-
penses. We sincerely hope the new
collectors will follow a different plan,
and that every one will pay his tax.

If they are proven every one of them

Illegal voting, and II has not been very
long ago that at least one of then

no reason TO doubt that in ut least one

that nothing was needed. Such &C
