Charles s. Fairchild, Cleveland's
ex-Secretary of the Treasuary, in an
address before the Reform Club of
New York, said:
Tariff reform seems to have been
rejected by the country, but seems is
the right word to use, for cannot
feel that the country has had its last
word to say on this subject"
Tariff reform was not rejected by
the people of the country; it was sim
ply temporarily defeated by the com
bined efforts of manufacturing cor
porations and monopolists who sub
scribed millions of dollars to the Re-
publican campaign fund, and who
carried the election by bribery of the
most fragrant character. The people
will yet rise up in their might and
overthrow the so-called protective
feature OF the American government
which makes it in reality the creator
OF monopoly and the promoter of
trusts aud rings.

Extracts from the Louisiana Wealth.
er Crop Bulletin for week ending Sat.
urday, July Is, 1889:
Owing to the almost daily local
rains in the State during the past
seven days, the cotton and corn
crops have been injuriously affected
by the prevailing weather conditions.
The amount of rainfall reported is
not generally greatly in excess for
the week, the average for the cotton
growing section of the State being
$50 inches, and it was therefore more
in the number of rainy days and de-
ficiency of sunshine received that
kept farmers from cleaning the
crops Of grass.
Cotton is reported as growing too
rapidly to fruit well, in the northern
parishes, and the occurrence of local
downpours has also worked some
injury by washing up the corn and
cotton.
Worms are reported as being gen
eral in Catahoula parish, but no great
damage has yet been done, There
is fear expressed by planters in
other parishes that if the rains con-
tinue worms will result.
In the cotton growing parishes
of the southern section of the State
the condition of the staple is gener-
ally reported somewhat better than
north except that the complaint of
grass and too much rain exists here
also. Heavy local rains, badly dis
tributed, have occurred almost daily
In the sugar region and in the sec
lions visited by these excessive show
ers the cane is suffering and crops
are generally very grassy. There
are however a number of correspond
ents who report less than an average
amount of rain in these localities the
weather conditions were reported
very favorable, cane growing rapid
~ and laying by nearing completion.
The great IMPROVEMENT in crops
in the past few weeks has given rise
to the hope that an average crop will
be made. Generally, however, farm
work has been greatly impeded by
the rainfall in the southern portion
OF the State, the amount averaging
1,94 inches.
The prospects for rice continue
good, better than could have been
expected, the daily showers being
very favorable.

Final Report of Grand Jury.

To TEE HoE. J. I. Boone, JUDGE OF
TKE 2Np DIsTRIcT CoURr IN SESSION AT
BsLIEvux, LA; We, the Grand Jury
of Bossier parish respectfully report
20 your Honor that, in accordance
with your Honor's charge, have dill
gently inquired into the various
crimes and offences committed in the
parish within the last twelve months,
that have come to our notice, amount
ing to over one hundred, and have
returned 6fty-seven true bills, but few
Of which are for serious crimes.
We report a disposition to obey
snd enforce the law.
We further report inquiry into the
condition Of the public roads, and
find many at present in very bad con-
dition, attributable to excessive rains
and non-performance of duty by
commissioners and overseers.
We have examined the books of
che Parish Treasurer, Offices and
books OF Sheriff and Clerk, and find
each in a good condition
We have examined the Court
House building, and III our iudg.
msns the same iSin dangerous con-
dition.
We notice the conveying aud keep
ing Of prisoners outside of the par
ish Is very expensive.
A great najority-at least nine
teuths Of the cases reported to this
Grand Jury from Magistrates Courts,
came from ward 2, of this parish.
In conclusion, we return thanks to
your Honor, and the officers of the
Court, for Courtesies during our $685.
sion, aud make this, our final re-
port, and beg to be discharged.

This Great State.

Reports from all parts of Calca-
sieu parish are favorable to the crops.
There are % Farmers Unions in

ship of 1900,
St. Mary Banner: "The Circuit
Court is an abnormal Cont, a para
doxical Court"
Houma Courier: Abolish the Cir
cult Courts, which are useless tribu.
nails, absorbing large sum, and rem
dering no real services in aid of JUS
tice.
La. Journal: A correspondent of
the Times-Democrat argues that the
increase in the matter of criminal ex-
penses is largely due to the class of
LAYERS, who suborm witnesses, pro-
cure false swearing and pack iuries
to secure the aquital of criminals.
Bienville New Era: While we
think that many of the appropria-
tons in our State are absolutely
niggardly, we believe that justice is
purchased at too great cost. We
believe in paying such liberal salaries
as will secure the best talent in the
State, but we are unalterably oppos-
ed to sinecures and do not think the
people are under obligation to fur
nish the surplus and briefess LAWYERS
with offices, in order that they may
find support. Our judicial system
needs doctoring badly.
Homer Guardian: Our idea is to
re-district the State and decrease the
number of judges and district attor-
neys. Take the parish of Caddo for
example, it has two judges and yet
district court is not in session more
than one half of the time. One
judge is ample for that parish. The
parish of Morehouse also constitutes
judicial district of itself and has
one judge whose duty it is to preside
over the courts of that parish only,
yet we are told that there is but very
little if any more litigation in that
parish, than in Claiborne.
Alexandria Town Talk: G. E.
Kimber last Spring planted some
tiax-seed in his garden, in Alexandria,
just to see how it worked in this
parish. One day this week he
brought to the Town Talk Office sew
eral large stalks of fax, and being
familiar with the plant, says that It
seems to thrive we'll in this latitude.
Who knows but what some of these
days the people of Louisiana will
grow all the fax necessary for the
mandatory of the linen, cambria,
lawn, lace, ETC., which they use, as
well as furnish other sections of the
country with those products of the
gems Linum?

Don't Worry or Furry.

The heated term has come, ana
with it many severe trials to all. but
many more to those who borrow
trouble by worry anc furry. And,
strange as it may seem, very many
thus multiply the discomforts of hot
weather. They often manage with
little or no provscation, to worry and
furry themselves into a violent per-
spiration before they fairly begin
their days duties, and then it is worry
and furry and trouble until the day
is spent.
Everybody can't maintain the equa-
nimity of both temperament and
effort that is necessary to reasonable
comfort in hot weather; but they
should stndy to do the best they can.
Above all, they should keep their
tempers cool, and bring all their
philosophy to guide them in their
labors. A good temper is the first
requisite for doing good days work
in hot weather with any degree of
comfort, and when the temper breaks,
the day is made doubly oppressive
by the hotter within than the hot
without. 1t is worry and furry all
the time, and that precludes relief
from the intensity Of the season.
The more yon have to do in hot
weather the more calmly and intelli-
gently it should be undertaken. The
same rule should be applied in all
seasons; but it is a necessity in the
heated term.
After doing the best that is posi-
BILE to avoid all worry and furry
about beginning work in hot weather,
the most important thing to avoid
discomfort, is Incorporate eating and
drinking. All specially heating food,
such as strong meats, should be re-
jected, and fresh vegetables should
be used freely, but all eating should
be in moderation. And drinking
should be wisely restrained. The
less people drink of anything in hot
weather, the better they will feel
Drinking beer, soda water, ice water
or taking ice cream to allay heat, is
a mistake. All must drink at times,
but the excessive use of water, or
substitutes for water, in hot weather,
is much a matter of habit, and is
easily restrained with care. Drinking
ice water or beer does not cool the
blood, unless used in great modera-
ton; while the excessive drinking
that is SO common with many in hot
weather, only multiplies heat and
general discomfort. The best posi-
BILE protection against oppressive
heat, when persons must be exposed
to it, is in eating, drinking and exer-
cising with severe moderation, and
people who have mastered the simple
science of moderation never worry or
furry.
Keep cool in mind and body if pos
sible; if not, keep cool as you can;
and the one thing most important to
learn is never to worry or furry.
