While VIC are not in favor Of

Benefits Of the Fair.

The coming fair in Claiborne
will be the beginning of a new era
in agriculture and stock raising in
this section OF the country. There
ls no part Of the State susceptible
Of greater development than
Claiborne parish and the country
Immediately adjacent to 1t. 1t is
decidedly the best hill portion Of
the State and when itsgood water,
health anl land are all considered
it Will foot up in the aggregate,
We believe, s superiority over
any other portion of the State. 1t
is already considered and justly
so as being tar towards the front
in its capacities as an agricultural
country and as being among the
foremost in intelligence and learn
ing and yet it is far behind the
great majority OF parishes inpoins
Of material development.
With the labor and Capital OK
pended in many other parishes,
this would have q notoriety un-
surpassed If equalled by any other
part OF Louisiana. 1t IS not al.
together hill lands. There is q
large area Of creek bottoms that
will make a bale Of cotton per acre
and thirty Ave to forty bushels Of
corn in q good crop year, besides
augar cane that will equal on an
average that grown on the Mlssis-
sippi river. Everything of the
vegetable vine and fruit character
that can be grown in tbs climate
flourish here. The fair association
will be potent in mixing some
science with the mode Of farming
and bring em,grants of the right
kind. 1t will assemble farmers
from different parts Of the country
and be q great stimulus to this
most important Of all occupations.
According to its capacities
Claiborne is far behind what 1t
should be in the way Of stock
raising, both in numbers and in
kind. The growers of fine stock
from abroad will visit the fair and
seek through That agency market
for their fine stock This alone
will be of immense value to this
Community. These strangers
will see the advantages and
superiority of Ibis country over,
probably, a worn threadbare locali.

The Haynesyiile Star On Homer

In the last issue Of the "Star"
Editor Dismukes in writing Of
Homer says: while We believe
that the majority Of her citizens
prefer the railroad to terminate
there, we must say, that they
stand in their own light which
time will demonstrate" Brother
Dismukes either did not take the
pains to lnd out the sentiment Of
the town or else the thought
uttered was the product Of his
desire. The fact is that there IS
not one half dozen citizens, if a
single one, out Of the 1890, who
opposed the extention Of the road.
We contributed $4,000 towards
building 1t with the understand
ing that it would he extended and
connect us with the Northern and
Western markets. AS a guarantee
Of our good faith the town has
already agreed for Maj. Beardsly
to have the right Of way clear
through the corporation to its
northern limits. When 1t is con.
sidered that not 4 single individual
refused to donate tbs right Of way
through his premises, it doesn't
argue very strong in favor Of the
"Sar's" assertion that the people
oppose its extention.
II our friend had taken little
time and talked with the citizens
he would have found them almost
q unit in favor Of extending the
road North.

State Taxation.

1t is now thought that the
assessed value Of property In the
the state will amount to some
twenty millions more than it did
last year. Three more trunk lines
Of railway are being built In the
State, with the prospect of one or
two other lines being commenced
in a short time. These rail
roads will in themselves be
considerable accession to our
wealth, as the capital with which
they are being bMlt, comes almost
entirely from abroad. These rail
ways will bring emigrants. and
capital that will be invested in
other enterprises 80 that the as.
sessed value Of the property in
Louisiana will be lar 5ely augment
ed in the next few years, so that
the burden ofgovernment will rest
lightly opon ths people. But
while this will he the case, it is a
matter Of Importance and justice,
that every one should contribute
to the support Of government, &C.
cording to his several ability.
This principle Of natural justice
flEds place and is recos nized in
the Fundamental law, The relative
value of property in different
parts OF the country is an ingre-
dsent in our system Of raising

De. hes this principle Of equality
and uniformity has not as, yet
had any practical application.
The difficulty has been and still
remains, to agree upon some means
by which this can be brought
about. TO arrive at this it seems
that the matter will have to be
carried beysnd local bias aud local
control. Another trouble and
Inequality is the failure sf means
underthe present revenue laws,
TO eprobe into tho affairs Of the
moneyed man and to bring his
finances within the reach Of taxa.

be cured the State would become

Greeley to appear in the journal to which
he had given worldwide celebrity and
of which he was the creator. Mr..
Greeley, when he heard of this action
of Reid's, went out to Chautauqua and lay
down and died, utterly broken. hearted.
The paper then passed under the abso-
lutte control of Reid, and with very dis
astrous results to the stockholders. Its
shares during Greeley's lifetime had sold
for $500, or eight times their face value.
They soon ran down to comparatively
small figure, and were bought up by jay
Gould, who owned the paper for years.
The building of the famous Tribune tall

holders, who we're substantially all

THE pictures given by the Sacramento
Bee OF the last days of the session of the
Legislature at Sacramento are, it is to be
hoped, exaggerated. Yet, allowing for
the temptation TO run into pictorial writ
ing, there must have been something to
justify these structures. This disgraceful
state of things is not restricted to any
one party. The overwhelmingly Repub-
lican Legislature which signalized the
Inauguration of Governor Perkins's ad-
ministration really set the standard for
succeeding bodies. The debris steal and
all its attendant circumstances were the
most infamous things ever recorded in
this Commonwealth. The people must
make great effort and take an interest
in their own political affairs. Biennial
sessions of the Legislature have the one
distinctive drawback of allowing the
voters time to forget how they have been
outraged.

WATERWAYS flight from Sacramento
takes the character of an abdication,
when we consider the circumstances at
tending it. 1t is the Governors duty to
remain at the Capital for the constitu-
tional ten days after the adjournment of
a Legislature, SO as to enable the friends
or enemies of measures that have passed
both Houses to furnish arguments in
favor or against them. But Waterman
has cut off all chance of discussion by
running away before the time had half
expired, leaving large number of passed
bills that will not become laws. This is
exercising the pocket veto by the whole
sale, and is very cowardly mode of get
ting away from disagreeable duty.
Some of the measures he has left un-
signed are not only meritorious but of
exigent public necessity. His Excel.
lency Waterman and his Serene High
ness Boruck, have made a pretty mess
of the Executive Department of the

The Stringency of its Sew

A STAND AGAINST SOCIALISM.
Provision for Permanent Expulsion
of Those Found Guilty of

Associated Press Dispatches to the

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
BERLIN, March 24.-The new penal
bill, according to the newspapers, is
much briefer than the anti-Socialist bill
which it replaces. 1t tends to remove
the distinction hitherto held regarding
Social Democrats; provides for more
stringent dealing with political crimes
and insults to the Sovereign, abolishes
permanent expulsion by mere police
authorities, and provides for short or
long expulsion, after trial of men for
attacks on the fundamental bases of the
State organization-the monarchical sys-
tenn of government and the sanctity Of
marriage and property. The most inn
portant new provision authorizes the
permanent introduction of periodicals and
papers guilty of offences against the law,
and the dissolution of societies and meet
ings. 1t is stated that the bill will be
discussed secretly by the Bupdesrath,
and that it will be submitted to the
Reichstag before Easter.
