Capt. Fisk of the United States en-
cheering corps in his annual report
upon the rivers in Louisiana repeats
his recommendation that $45OOOO.O 90
be appropriated for locks and neces-
sary dredging in bayou Lafourche.
He does not believe that $4,000. 90 ex-
pended in dredging annually would
keep the ba you open. With locks
once built dredging would become
unnecessary.
This is really the only feasible plan
that is now visible. With locks dan.
ger from innundation through breaks in
the Lafourche l~evees, would be avoid
ed in the future, whist navigation
would not be seriously incommoded.
To open out lower Lafourche has
become almost an impossibility. The
battures formed along the banks, on
either side of the stream for rs miles
have become as hard and solid as the
earth itself, and any effort to remove
those distractions sufficiently. for
to make the outlets equal to the inlet
would probably be filled again with
deposits by the time the work would
be completed. Nature is a hard ap-
tagonist to conquer. For Is years it
has shown al unmistakable desire to
close the bayou Lafourche, there is no
question about that fact. Necessity
therefore, advises that any further at
tempts to conquer natures wishes has
best be abandoned. Locks at Dom
aldsonville uay solve the problem
satisfactorily. Lot the attempt be !

VERY LIKELX

The Republican Protectectionists
are descending from the elevated horse
they have been mounting for the last
Is years, with so much gusto.
Mr.. Blaine comes out now and fav-
ors free trade with some of the South
American States. By their deceptive
protection duties, they are beginning
to learn a little common sense, al
though the head of a Republican Pro-
tectionist is a very barren soil to SOW
common sense in, to produce a growth.
Cuba has raised her tariff on -four SO
that one barrel Of that product manu-
featured in the United States worth
$3.50 in New York can be put in her
market for not less than $11.46, prac-
tically closing that market to:.onr wheat
growers: the Mckinley Protection
swlndle proposes to let sugar in here
from Cuba free.
Blaine however calls q halt and
says, that if Cuba wants to sell her SUI
gar in the United States, she must open
her ports to the sale Of -four. This
shows a little consideration for our
wheat growers, at least.
When other nations close their mar
kets to US, ours should be closed to
them. That is what Germany has
with US in the sale of pork, re-
it admittance into her realms,
under the plea that it might contain
Trichina but really as IL matter Of
retaliation for the prohibitory tax
government had placed upon her
products.
Mi. Blaine now claims this rec;pro-
'ity feature as a great discovery of his
prolific brains, when it was one of the
main features of the Mills Bill during
administration. |
Republican Protectionists have no
hesitation in "stealing the livery Of
to serve the devil inr and now
hat the drift of public opinion i,
into a cyclone that is likely
. sweep them from the earth, they
re backing down and taking position
pom democratic doctrine, whilst
tanning that they are making new
is%eoyeries1in political science.
A Republican Protectionists is Al
animal, a very queer one.

There has been an interesting de-
bate in the senate of the United States
on subsiding some rich steamship com
panies the money to be paid by taxes
of the farmer and wage Garner of the
country.
Senator Vest Of Missouri spoke two
days on the question and so thorough
ly exposed the whole scheme, with
such a mass of inpregnable arguments
that with all the hammering and but
ting of the subsidizers NO effect could
be made upon them.
There is a law In this country, that
Republican Protection refuses to abo-
lish. and that is a law which forhids
an American citizen to buy a steamship
elsewhere and have her registered as
an American vessel.
1t is a well known fact that an iron
ship can be brought. in England for
about three fourths of what q similar
vessel can be built in this country.
No matter, a United States flag can
not be fOated upon a vessel not made
in our own Navy yards. As no sailor
will be fool enough to have a shin
built in the United States and pay %
per cent more than he can procure one
for elsewhere, they make their pur-
chases elsewhere and register them in
other country and hoist the flag of
that country upon the masthead. And
yet these PrOtectionists want to sub
ships to do something that the
of other ma tions do at the same
prices without any subsidy.
1t is nothing more nor less than Civ
ing the money in the Treasury of the
United States to \ set of men who have
no need Of it.

The Legislature has adjourned. For
several months there has been no
superintendent Of public education in
Louisiana. Gov. Nichols appointed
the superintendent to a position on the
supreme bench. 1t was his duty to
name a successor and have the nomina-
ton confirmed by the senate during
the session of the general assembly,
But this he has failed to do. 1t is a
strange proceeding to say the least.

Congress still lags it's weary way,
the devil has shown his cloven foot
in the House Of Representatives, and
through a modern Reed has sung his
direful songs. The senate is now in
the tolls of the monster, but whether
he will manage that body of men as
he did in the House, and prostitute
the senators to his Internal purposes
time will develop very soon
The Force bill, if passed by the SEN
ate will test the stability of this gov
eminent, and show whether it is to be
a Democratic government in which
the people rule, or whether it will be
changed in q monopolistic mob, who
will centralize the power into the
hands of a few men.
1t looks as if one century of true
practical, democracy will be as much
as the government will stand, when
principles, once ruling and actu-
ating the great statesmen of the first
70 years of its existence, who made
the Republic the wonder and admir-
alton Of the world, will be forced to
succumb to a bowling mob of mil
lionaires, monopolists and trusts, re-
legating the farmer and wage Garner

dition worse than that held by
The slaves, who are now the innocent
dupes who serve as a foundation for
demands Of the tyrant.

The Legislature Of Louisiana has ad-
Journed. One is disposed to inquire
what it has accomplished for the good
OF the State. Until the acts are pub
llshed no one a form an intelligent
opinion. There has been no great dis
position shown to enlighten the pub
lie. Bills were brought and passed,
without any publication to inform the
people of their nature.
The number of district judges has
been reduced which is one good thing.
Lafourche and Terrebonne are again
united into a judicial district.
Nothing was done to aid the insane
asylum by enlarging its capacity.
The Lottery question has been the
principal bone of contention and that
to be in a lovely middle Just
now. A law regulating rice fumes
has been enacted. If carried out it may
afford some guarantee from overflow

The law REGULATE ng the rice fume
methods of c~ultivating rice in this
State was printed in the SENTINEL
last Saturday, and is one Of great ina.
portance to the people oflower Louisi-
ana. That portion of Lafourche be-
low Lafourche Crossing is exempted
from the operations of this act, leav-
ing the law as it is. Every person re-
siding below that point should see
that there remains no dangerous dahls
to cause trouble during the next high
water but that all are repaired that
show any signs of weakness, or re-
moved entirely where danger is indi-
Gated.
Section l, Requires all existing rice
fumes, dahls and other. conduits
placed in or through the public levees
of the State for the purpose Of irrigat-
ing lands shall be taken out and re-
moved from the levees during the
months of September October and
November 1890, at the cost and ex-
pense of the owners of the land.
There are NO exceptions made to
the exactions Of this section above La
fourche Crossing.
Although these specific months are
mentioned in which these removals
should be effected, it is hardly prob
able that it was the intention of the
General Assembly to prevent any
planter removing any dahl at a period
previous to those months, provided
the rivers had fallen SO that there
could be risks taken Of a rise that
would come and find the work incom-
plete. The sooner the dahls are re-
moved, the more time will be given to
the refilling to solidify and harden.
A failure to have these dahls re-
moved, or any interference with the
work done by the Police Jury renders
the proprietor for all costs of the same.
with 10 per cent additional and al,
costs accruing theron in Ease suit may
and the costs of such removals
when put in form Of judgement shall
vet as a mortgage upon all movable
property or real estate that the pro-
'rietor may own in the parish, and
prevent the sale or alienation Of the
Iame as long said mortgage may exist.
The law is made very stringent,
renee persons above Lafourcle Cros-
ing owning dahls should be prepared
o follow out in the injunctions Of the
aw.
1t will be found somewhat hard in its
xecution and initiate, to q certain ex-
emit against the interest of many per-
ona.

any grounds for imagining that there
have been changes in the climates OF the

We have geological evidence as to the
