The farmers of Rapides Parish,

returning to the planting of sugar
cane instead of cotton. Prior to the
war this parish produced large guam

cotton Immediately after tue war in
dueed most of them to cultivate the

now come to the conclusion that sugar
would be more profitable, and are con

and fine, if any is imposed, or in de.
fault thereof the ronvicted party is
hired out to the highest bidder to work
until bis fine is paid. If this was the
case this Parrish would be relieved of
the payment of several thousand dol
lars a year for the arrest, trial and
punishment Of the violetors of the law,
and the money thus expended could
be applied to the support of an eff
cient public school system, which is SO
much needed.
We cannot expect any very great
improvement on the part of the State
towards the support of public schools
with a six mills limitation tax under
the present Constitution. The Par
ishes, therefore, will be compelled to
largely supplement the aid of the
State for educational purposes, and
this can be done materially by dimin
ishing the criminal expenses, thus Civ
inc the means without an increased
taxation.
We agree with the Farmers Union
and urge upon the members Of tht
Legislature the consideration of these
questions, which so seriously affect ou

THE ENGINEERING COMMISSION.
How the v. 5. Engineers Saw San
Antonio and What They Say.

How the v. 5. Engineers Saw San
Antonio and What They Say.
The L. S. Engineers having in
charge the work of examining the
Gulf coast of Texas in order to report
upon the most eligible port or ports at
which a deep water harbor may be
established are in this city. They have
completed their tour of examination
and are now hastily surveying the in
terror in order to arrive at some conclu-
sion based upon actual observation
concerning the character and re-
sources of the country tributary to the
coast. They reached this city last
evening, over the Arkansas Pass road
and were met at the depot by Messrs.
Hugo, Heuermann and Yoakum and
conducted to the Menger hotel. After
supper the town was quietly strolled
over, the plazas visited, the chile con-
carne stands and tamale tables SAM
pied and good street view taken of
the capital of southwest Texas. This
morning the government post and
other places of interest were Wis
tied under the conduct of ex-Gov.
Gibbs, Colonel Andrews and others,
and after a lunch the party left for
Austin. Only Colonies Roberts and
Smith came up from Galveston, Major
Gillespie being indisposed. This
evening the capitol will be lit up, and
Governor Ross will welcome the party,
who take the train for Galveston
Monday morning. The LIGHT had
the pleasure of meeting and convers-
ing with the gentlemen of the
commission. They will be put
in possession of all matter neces-
sary to fully inform them concerning
! commerce and productions Of that
| part of the state, tributary to Arkansas
Pass, the San Antonio board of trade
| to furnish the same in time for the
formal report to the secretary of war
| which will not be made before October
| first.
The engineers are deeply impressed
| with the wealth and national resources
of this state, and are of the opinion
that the ports of this state should be
at once opened. They are decidedly of
the opinion that Arkansas Pass prom
Uses great natural advantages, and
think the proposition of private par
ties to do the work and then
be reimbursed by congress most
fair, and one which should
be accepted Their tug put
into the mouth of the Brazos de
Dios and the work there was exam
ined. OF it's success they entertain
DO doubt and evidently believe that
private capital will more speedily
solve the deep water problem than will
congressional action or government
appropriations. These gentlemen are
most atfab BILE, very cordial, have keen
eye and observe accurately and are
not giving or taking taffy They will
report upon the whole gulf coast and
the country, with its products and
trade lying tributary thereto, and
their recommendation will not he
prejudiced by any local jealousies.
For that report the people of Texas
will wait eXpectantly.

LONDON, May 1S.-Advices from St.

military officers against czar, which
was recently unearthed in this city
was widespread. Officers of the regi-

saw have been found to be implicit ted
in the plot and three of them have COM
mitted suicide. A bomb was found
in the quarters of one of the officers
in Warsaw; hundreds of conspirators
have been placed under arrest. The

different tribes, a council of fifty, and
twelve were elected judges. The
council decided upon plan for the
entire tribe who are bound by their
action. The judges will report to the

KRElGER We REIN.
An Exclamation Con Amore.

An Exclamation Con Amore.
The LIGHT was visited this morn
ing by one of the leading spirits Of
the Kreiger Verein of this city. 1t
will be remembered that it was con-
trOversy over mem bership in this So
ciety which made the trouble between
Kopp and Earth as previously men
toned in the LIGHT. From papers
placed at the disposal of the LIGHT,
including constitution and bylaws,
the following is cleaned: The Krei-
ger Nerein is an association of old
German soldiers, particularly of those
who took part in the Austro-Prussian
war of 1S66-67 and the Franco German
war of 1S70-7l. Its embership also
includes those who were drafted into
the military service OF the German
empire, even if they saw no actual
service in the field. The association
is benevolent, something like the
@. A. r. By its oaths of member
ship all political and religious
matters are excluded, and all
applicants for membership are re-
quired to swear that they will support
the laws of the United States and of
the state in which they live and be
an obedient citizen. The object is to
aid each other. There are no drills,
no manual of arms, no guns, armory
or anything of that kind. Each
member receives s. week if disabled
or sick, and $50 is appropriated for
the burial of deceased member, and
$50 for the burial of the wife Of de-
ceased member. julius Heilman,
who called at the LIGHT Office, SUBJ
mitted his naturalization papers to
show that he was an American citi-
zen and said that he was as ready to
fight for his adopted country if need
be as he ever was for the land of his
birth. 1t affords the LIGHT sincere
pleasure to make this statement and
to be assured that the Kreiger We're
in has no connection whatever with
any OF those foreign societies of anar-
chist tendencies which have made
Americans suspicious of all such So
cieties until they have positive infor-
nation concerning their character.
Kreiger Verein is all right.
