1t is not possible within the limits
ofthis paper to recite to you all
the evils Of our present situation,
nor do we think it necessary, for
We believe that your intelligence
and information are sufficient to ap-

presentation. 1t IS the remedy for
these evils that we wish to pro.
pose, which is co operation in sell
ing, in buying, in manufacturing
and as far astposslble in prodac-
ton. Believing that all these ends
are attainable BY it co operation)
and that their accomplishment
will rebound not only TO Our own
good, bat to the good of every lc-
gitimate industry Of the country.
First, among the advantages to
be attained BY cooperation is con
tidence in ourselves aud in each
other. When that is secured our
greatest difficulty will be removed.
Second, we cannot live IS we
should, and as 1t is our right to
live, when we arc compelled to
pay the tariff TO the trusts, to the
commission men, to the Wholesale
sn;i retail mcrea!a a!aats, and to the
public concerns Of our country.

Third, as & CONSEQUENCE Of these
results a,li oar improved finances,
we can establish manufacturing
enterprises, in which We are di
rectly Interested, for instance fer
tilizers, and also just apprecia-
ton or the cations between the
farm laborcr anal employer can be
arrived at, and Tie Interest Of both
truly promoted. AS GROWING
result Of these influences our
homes can be made fit habitations
for human beings. Our children
educated, our social relations will
be better understood and immense
ly improved, our political rights
respected, and llie be made worth

COLLECTING POLL TAX.
As there has hecn some discus

As there has hecn some discus
sion OF late through the papers
relative to the inadequacy OF the
existing laws which provide how
the poll taS shall be collected, we
publish for the benefit Of our
readers act 50 of 1888, which points
out the duties Of the shsrift5 and
assessors IN regard to this matter.
The following is the wording Of
the act:
Section /. That the tax asses
sors throughout The State be and
they are required to reader to the
school boards Of their respective
parishes, annually, by the first
Saturday Of October, = complete
schedule list, by wards, Of all per,
sons liable to pay a poll tax IN
their respective parishes. Ii any
assessor fails to comply with the
requirement orlhis act, the failure
shall be cause for removal; besides
he shall be subject to fine oftwo
hundred and fifty dollars, for The
benefit of The public schools in the
parish IN which the delinquent
officer resides, and in which he is
the assessor. In the city Of New
Orleans The board Of assessors
shall comply With The requirement
Of this act, and in the event oI
failure shall he subject to dis.
missal and penalty as before pro
videl.
Sec. 9. That the sheriffs and
tax.collectors in their respective
parishes shall return by the first
Saturday of February, OF each and
every year, to the school boards Of
their respective parishes, q list
predicted upon the list before
| mentioned by wards, showing all
persons in the parishes, respect
lively, who have paid their poll tax,
as well as persons who have not
paid the same, and shall return
their reasons IN writing and un-
der oath the cause in each in
stance of the non payment Of
poll tax, why they have not col
lectel The tax not collected.
Sec. 8. That If the said sheriff
and MG collectors fail to shoW
cause 'chy tho said poll tao has rot
been collected, he shall Je respoaSi-
ble for and shall pay the poll tares
he has taited to collect, and shall
be held liable agith his parties ON
his official bond Jor the payment Of
said tar.
Sec. 4. That the sheriff can be
made to show cause why the SAID
poll tax has not been collected, at
chambers, before the district
Judge, after service of rule and
three days have elapsed sfler SER
vice"
1t will be observed that this
law is very strict in it's app!ica-
tion to the sheritfs and assessors.
The former are made responsible
on their bond for the tax they fail
to collect, unless they satisfy the
school board that they have ex-
hausted all legal remedies to
collect the same, while the latter
can be removed fronl Office and
fined $3.50 unles they comply with
Sec. l, Of The foregoing act. The
law is clear and strong on this
| subject and there is no means for
any male citizen to avoid paying
his poll tax unless he is not worth
property to the amount of one
dollar.

A curious light is thrown on the rural
life Of Bengal by the contents of paper
reprinted lately in the annual report Of
the Bombay Anthropological society,
says The Calcutta Times. From this
paper we are told the following, among
other things: Shouting the name of the
king of birds (garuda) drives away
snakes. Shouting ram, ram. drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Mon
day or Saturday ends fatally, but no
cholera that attacks on Thursday. The

Goddard, getting down on ''all tours" on
the Office floor, land suppose / would

to make me come up under the yoke.
The Yankee objected at first, but when
he was told that his winters work de-
pended upon the trial, he took the long
braided oaken OK goad and began to
flourish it over the kneeling Goddard's
head.

teamster inserted the steel brad into

Yankee was hired at his own price,

LUNA AND LuNACy.
Tho Influences Of the Various Seasons on
Minds Dlaeaaed.

Minds Diseased.
Theold idea that Luna and Iunacy have
an intimate relation appears to be not
wholly without foundation. This. at any
rate. Is demonstrated by the commission
ers in lunacy for Scotland-that the sea-
sons have distinct influence on asylum
statistics. The tables Of admissions dur
ing the years 1907 show that there are
two well marked periods-one in which
the number rises considerably above the
average. and the other in which il falls
considerably below. The average monthly
number for the eight years was 1909
During the three months of May. June
and July the number was 628 above what
it would have been IL the average num-
Der only had been admitted. On the
other hand, during the months of Octo-
Der, November, December and January
the number was 462 below wha. it would
have been IL the average number had
been admitted. The table shows further
that this rise and this fall are preceded
by gradual rise and gradual fall, the
rise taking place during February, March
and April, and the fall taking place dur
ing July. August and September.
''The special frequency" the commits
sioners say. with which asylum treat
mcnt il resorted to during the period
from the middle Of April to the middle
of July corresponds with what has been
observed by asylum physicians-that
there is a tendency to an exacerbation of
the mental disorder Of patients in asy-
lums during the early part of summer;
and 1t is interesting to notice also that
the statistics Of suicide in the general
population show that this occurs most
frequently during the same period
The greatest number of recoveries take
place during June, July and August, and
they are fewest during the months of
November, January and February. The
regularity In the rise and fall of the num-
bers Is twice interrupted. The rise is in
terrupted by fall in April. and the fall
is interrupted by rise in December. 1T
Is considered probable that these inter-
ruptions are due to some causes which
recur regularly at these periods, because
they arc well marked in character; and
1t Is suggested that the December rise is
occasioned, in part at least, by the an
nual statutory revision of the condition
of patients in asylums during that month.
This revision is made by medical officers
of asylums with view to determine
whether they can properly give the GER
tiiicate OF tho necessity for further deten-
ton in tho asylum which is annually re-
quired to legalize the continued residence
OF all patients who have been three years
in an asylum. The occurrence of the
large number of recoveries during the
months of June, July and August is
probably due to the large number Of adj
missions during May, June and July, as
more than 4S per cent. of all the recover
les which take place during the first year
Of residence occur within three months
Of the date Of admission. Pail Mall

The Street Car Plant.

After buying the John Clark lot on west
First South street, as site for their power
house, the street Gear people have sud
denly concluded that they want their plant
nearer the middle of town, and they have
decided to put the plant on the Second East
street lot. where their stables and car
houses are now located. The power house
to be built will be about 40xll0 feet, and
will contain three 15-horse power engines,
with a fly wheel sixteen feet III diameter.
The power plant will thus be by far the
most extensive in this region, and only the
best machinery will be used in ii.
Mr.. McCune is waiting the decision OF the
directors before he starts east TO make the
purchase OF the equipment. The prize
still hangs between the SprGgue and the
Thomson Houston system. with the odds q
little in favor of the former.
Mr.. McCune stated yesterday that he did
not approve OF putting the power house on
Second East street, for the reason that
every ton of coal used will have to be
hauled from the depot, while, had
they stuck to the First South
street site, a switch might have
been run into the grounds and the
coal could have been dumped right III front
OF the engines with enc handling.
Mr.. Armstrong, who was the power that
decided upon Second East as the site, was
not seen, but it is supposed he has some
good reason for believing that the power
house should be centrally located.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
West Point and the North Point canal com
panies was held at the Cullen hotel yester-
day to consider the matter Of consolidating
the two concerns for the purpose of secur-
ing water for certain lands over Jordan.
The matter was thoroughly discussed and
all the stockholders were of the opinion
that something should be done at once to-
ward securing the necessary supply. There
is ample surplus water in the Jordan TO
meet the demands of the Land in question
and it isionly matter of fixing up a suit
able ditch to convey it to the land.
A committee was appointed from each
of the companies to work together and re
port some plan to consolidate the two com
panies or to organize an entirely new com
pany in which all parties at interest may
hold stock. This committee will report to
the next meeting, which viii be held April
5 and if satisfactory arrangements can
then be made, it is the intention 10 at once
take the steps necessary to accomplish the
end in view.
Among the parties interested in the
scheme are S. c. Ewing, Henry Cohn,
Robert Irvine and many others. About
5000 acres of land viii be benefited by the
carrying out Of the plan proposed.

Balzac's Serious Mistake.

The proposed Balzac monument gives riss
to an enormous number of anecdotes apropos
of the great writer in the French press. Here
is good one from among them. The late
Baron James Rothschild was always on ex-
cellent terms with Balzac, who dedicated
more than one novel to him. Once, when he
was obliged to make a trip to Germany, and
when, as often happened with him, he was
in money difficulties, Balzac went to the
baron, who, with his usual benevolence,
advanced him the sum of 3,00Of., giving
him also a letter of recommendation
to his nephew at Vienna The letter
was unsealed, according to custom Balzac
read it, found it cold, poor and unworthy of
him, and never took it to the nephew. Re
turning to Paris he went to see Baron Roths-
child Well" said the latter, 'have you
seen my nephew" Balzec proudly said that
he had kept the letter. Il am sorry for you"
