THE New Orleans papers are appealing
to the government for assistance in keep
ing the Mississippi levees in repair. They
say "that if the floods which ravage the
shores of Louisiana and Mississippi were
of local origin, the people would will
ingly apply local remedies; but such is
not the case. The floods are the drain
age of nearly thirty states and territories;
hence, an overflow becomes a nationality,
by which only a few states suffer-" The
levees have been built and sustained by
the people heretofore at great cost. 1t is
but just that the government should as
sist them in q substantial way.

The Alliance Making Things Lively 70,
Georgia Cong ressmen.


Georgia Cong ressmen.
ATLANTA, Ga, May 9.-Georgia con-
gressmen are going to have hard row
to hoe In their races for reelection.
The active and aggressive part the
Farmers Alliance has taken in requir-
ing candidates to swear allegiance to
some of its pet schemes has been thorn
in the flesh Of some of the members of
the Georgia delegation, for they cannot
afford to ignore the $4,000 alliance men
In Georgia.
Now there looms up another element
equally menacing. This is the temper
ance or prohibition element. The State
Temperance society will meet in Atlanta
Thursday. The object of the meeting.
it is understood, is to take action upon a
proposition to put prohibition candidates
in the field
The recent decision of the United
States supreme court concerning the
rights OF express companies to deliver to
the consignees all packages sent through
them is regarded as death blow to
local option i'll that it transfers the sup
ply houses to points outside the state
Under this ruling the jug train can
run, and with the jug train running the
success Of local prohibition Is impossible
This transfers to congress the power Of
accomplishing anything in the line Of
effective suppression of the liquor traffic,
and it Is therefore proposed to send pro-
hibiiiOn members to congress.
The plan, as outlined by leader in
the movement. is to demand of candi-
dates for reelection that they favor leg
islation looking to prohibition, and if
they do not prohibition candidates will
De put iii the field. The great strength
OF the prohibition movement in Gcors ia
nakes this threat Of real weight The
Geor"i;i conel etsmen are, therefore, be

time that is to say they are between

Mckinley, and other members If
the Committee to stop this outrage.
Acid is now free
There is no revence needed.
There is little acid imported.

manufacturers. and about 1000 work

There is danger in this robbery.
Farmers act. and act at once.
This is no politic,l question it s
one Of simple business.

To commit this robbery upon the

Dear Sir-In reply to your letter
Of April IA, l beg to inform you that
with 40, 900 to $4,000 enumerators
all to be appointed at or about the
same time, on the recommendation
of the different supervisors. it Is alb
solutely impossible for this Office to
inquire into the methods Of selection
adopted by the supervisors, save in
circumstances of the most exceptions
al character. Every supervisor who
has consulted this office has been in
formed that color must not be re-
garded as any disqualification for
appointment to the office of enumer-
ator. The census, however is not
being taken to provide Offices either
for white or colored persons but to
enumerate the population, and to as
certain the social condition and ma
terial welfare of its various classes.
An accurate census that shall inspire
confidence both locally and general
ly is therefore, the first considera
ton, and supervisors must according
ly decide each application on its in~
dividual merits.
Yours respectfully,
