The Census of 1900.

The near approach of the coming census
leads to representations of it's probable
result which, though necessarially imper-
feet, are perhaps not wide of the mark,
the sources of information in each case
being such as to insure very close guess
ing. In eleven States the statue provides
for an enumeration every five years. These
States are New jersey, Nebraska. Kansas,
Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Rhode Is
land, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts and
Wisconsin and the estimate below is
based upon the ratio of gain in the first
five years of the decade. In the twelve
Southern States the Governors have COM
piled figures which will not vary much
from the truth and in the remaining
States estimates are made from the voting
population and sources OF information
derived from the offices of the various
Secretaries of State. On this basis the
New York San complies the following
statement
St. Landry democrat., 1890-02-08
Southern Daifying.

Since the setting in of Northern emmi-
grafton to this section, much has heeD
said about dairying in the South and while
there is belief, or indisposition to believe
that dairying is not profitable in the South,
it has been proved in many instances, to
the satisfaction Of many, that it is profitable
in the South and much moreso than in the
North. Even admitting that for various
reasons summer dairying may not prove
TO be remuneratlve. what can we say of
the space of time, say about eight months,
which is occupied by the cold in the North,
and is only moderate weather here.
The mildness of this climate, climate
which permits grass to grow luxuriant]y
through the greater part of the year, and
somevarietes the entire year. A climate,
too that will permit the cattle to feed in the
open pasture during the entire year. and
doing away with expensive houses, heated
food and water, and right where the milk
and butter produced can be disposed of at
good prices. We ask, why not start a
winter dairy and make money
In many places of the South the land is
broken, and some places badly washed and
in an impoverished condition. This is the
case in some parts of Mississippi, yet that
State has furnished lesson for ether sec
tions of the South. Louisiana has no
wa he'd and impoverished lands, and are
certainly in much better condition to
profit By this industry. There is no vari
ETY. of tame grasses that grow we'll in
Mississippi that will not grow equally as
well here, and We hope our farmers will
plant largely of these grasses and with the
improved grasses and improved stock, our
section of country in five years will have
the appearance of some favored spot being
suddenly lifted from the North and set
quietly down in eur magnificent coast
country. In addition to the grasses and
other crops that can be so abundantly
raised here, We will be right at the door
of the cotton gin where we can obtain the
cotton seed meal, which is now recognized
as the finest of food for milk stock 1t has
been said that nine tenths of the cotton
seed meal is fed to Northern cows n G
Northern land, to produce butter to ship
back to the South to sell to Southern PEG
pie. This should all be changed, as but
ter can be shipped as well North as the
strawberry. There is no danger of over
stocking the market either in the North
or South Good, fresh butter will always
sell vii III ii Tire Soulh-esp-c ialls in win

St. Landry democrat., 1890-02-08

Mr.. Dymond wanted the Attorney Gen.
eral to give his opinion on the legal points.
Gen. Zener explained cases in his parish
showing where property which cost $40. =
900 was sold for 100000.
Attorney General Rogers said that he
saw very little law to discuss. The asses
sors carry out the laws, in which they
meet many obstacles. It seemed to him
that Mr.. Foster struck the gist of the con-
troversy the law would take care of it
self. The truth was that the assessors
should have the exercise of right, and
should not be considered the creatures of
the peoples bidding; they can go NO
further than the law allows them. The
Attorney General thought that the jndici-
ary were as liable to error in matter of fact
rs the assessors After all it lies with the
citizens, as MIR. Foster says.
In conclusion he impressed upon the
meeting that it would not be solution of
this question If one parish was cut down
compliment to the assessors. Applause. ]
MI. Glynn, of Pointe Coupee, commended
that the valuation of property should not
be taken away from the people. He urged
strong opposition to DO ard of reviewers.
There we're merchants in New Orleans
with $500, 600 of stock which is assessed
at about $4,000
Mr.. Renshaw asked tho gentleman to
point out any under assessment in New
Orleans. Property is assessed in New
Orleans at its actual cash value.
Mr. Dymond next discussed the subject
of cash values and cited cases where prop.
erty would not bring actual cash value IL
offered for sale. He did not favor accus-
ing each case of under assessment without
data.
The Foster motion was adopted and the
chair appointed rs the committee Messrs.
Steele (Unlon), Foster (Caddo), Glynn
(Poin:e Coupee), Gilfoil (Madison) Milsaps
(Ouachita), Dymond (Plsquemines) Carruth
(St. Helena) Renshaw (Orleans) and Richard
(Calcasien).
The convention adjourned until o'clock
to afford the COMMITTEES time to report at
which hour the convention met and ad
iourned to o'clock Thursday morning.
When the committee met thsy called
Mr. Foster, who said that Caddo increa. ed
ST. $50, 900 last year by adopting two thirds
value of property
Mr.. Richard (Calcasieu) said his parish
was not assessed at full value. lie found
the assessment at two-thirds cost value.
and attempted to make 1t full value and
place SIC, 000 per mile on railroads, which
was mortgaged for $4,000 mile. The
police jury reduced it to $4,000. No cash
was on the roll.
Mr.. Dymond said that for the past
twenty years in Plaquemines three-qu
tiers OF the land was sold by the sheriff,
sugar fell in value two thirds, and two
thirds Of the sugar houses of twenty years
ago had been suspended.
RI. Pemble East Feliciana) said that
the average price of land assessed is from
So to $3.50 per acre; the 90 lands are
assessed at full value, while the IS 10
are worth $500 or more. A number of
others were examined and they all stated
that the assessment was based on two
thirds valuation.
Mr.. Renshaw was astonisbed, and stated
that property in Orleans was assessed at
full value.

A True Dog Story.

LAST vesr clergyman of Norfolk, IN
england, missed his pet dog, and there
was much grief in the family, for Rough
the lost collie, was favorite with the
grown folks as well as with the children.
Some nine months later, the clergyman,
happening to go to "Cattle HILL" where
the drovers We're, saw Rough and JoTously
laid claim to him Bat Rough's new mas
ter, drover, refused to give the dog up,
and there was a dispute. OF course. the
drovers were in sympathy with their fe!-
low, and the clergy man found the odds
against him. The droveI said that he had
owned Rough for years the minister held
to it that Rough was the very Rough he
had raised. Two policemen came running
I'D. and the case was stated. "but how
can you prove ownership" asked one of
the officers. That put the minister in
mind of something He thrust his hand
into a pocket, pulled out penny, and
gave it to the dog with the command,
Rough, fetch loaf" Rough, with the
penny in his mouth, went to tie nearest
bakery. made it clear that he wanted so1e
bread, and soon came trottipg back to the
crowd. The clergyman broke off NOR
sci, gave it to Rough and stood by while
the dog munched it. Suddenly the
clergyman exclaimed, Rough, I believe
that bread is poisoned !' Out the dog
spat the piece aud the crowd crled
'Bravo p There was no longer doubt as
to the true ownership of the dog, and, to
sbe shame OF the drover, the dog trotted
off at the ministers heels.-LUIstrated

Conversation in the Home

Few things are more important in q
home than is conversation, yet there are
fewer things to which less deliberate
thought is given. We take great pains to
have our houses well furnished. We Sc
lect our carpets and our pictures with the
utmost care. We send our children to
school that they may become Intelligent.
We strive to bring into our homes the best
conditions of happiness. But how often
is the speech of our hcus ehold left ia
trained and undiseip1ined2 The good we
might do in our homes with our tongues,
if we would use them to the limits of their
capacity of cheer and helpfulness, it is
simply impossible to state. Why should
so much power for blessing be wasted
Especially why should we ever pervert the
gift and use of our tongues to do evil, to
give pain, to scatter seeds of bitterness?
1t is sad thing when a child is born
dumb, but it were better to be born dumb
and never have the gift Of speech than,
having the gift, to employ it in speaking
only sharp, unIoving or angry words

A New Idea for Shoe Soles.

A Nuremberg firm is bringing out
new kind of sole for boots ind shoes, for
which it claims great solid ity and con.
venience. The sole consists OF a sort OF
trel!is work of spiral metal wire, the inter,
sticss being filed with gutta percha and
amraoniac rnsin, which give, them both
str. myth and suppleness. They are fitted
with special nails on to ordinary soles, and
can be produced 30 per cert below the
ordinary price of leather ones, They have
already been used in the array, and 1t is
sta ed that the results of the test are very
satisfactory. The soles were found in GOOD
condition after long and sevSre usage

I say what think All the truly croat

To make such rash confession:
For think what injuries might be wrought
What evils we could not smother.
If every one said just what they thought
With regard to one another,
To say what you think is noble thing
When your voice for the right is needed.
To speak out your mind with loyal ring
When order and law are impeded
But the evil thoughts that flow through the br lin

For we lessen the tide of g1ief and pain
When our speech is carefully guarded

Not less than 10000 of prairie chick
