ments, &c, &c, give utterance TO the
situation, such az words cannot describe.
The old parties recognize the justice OF
che demands as made by the Peoples
party. They recognize the importance Of
an early respOnse,on the part ofour legisla'
tive force, In behalf Of the people. But
Notwithstanding all, they choose to take
position with the moneyed power against
tho wishes Of the people; and in 30 doing,
they practically declare themselves
against that form OF government In which
the supreme power Is in the hands OF the
people. In other words they have de
clared themselves as opposed to the noble
principles Of free government, rs ex-
pressed in our Constitution, as we'll as by
the two great political parties Of this
nation, in the days OF their purity, but
are now standing with the few against
tho many.
And now what is the remedy for this
unpleasant state OF affairs? What can
be done for the relief Of the oppressed
millions Of this government?
We can only look for a return Of pros
perity through the Legislation Of those
chosen to make laws in our behalf and
IL incumbents in Office fail 10 do their
duty, what else can we do but hll their
places, Gas soon as their term Of office OK
plres) by men chosen with special refer.
ence to the legislation az now demanded
by the toiling millions, TO whom the ma
tiOn to-day owes its existence?
With all earnestness, we have appealed
repeatedly to our Legislative halls for
laws in behalf Of the masses; but we
have come TO realize that no bill can "get
through" and become law, II against
the moneyed power. This Is settled, and
we can never expect change in this
respect except as we get IL through n
change Of our Legislative force; and this
change must come soon, or we shall be
not only financial, but political bankrupts.
II is difficult now for us to raise the
means (the money! necessary to bring the
great issues properly before the people;
and the time is close at hand when we
shall have less, IL the change in our lcgis-
lative dominions Is not made soon.
Let us look we'll 20 the political inter
ests Of the Sixth district; and may we
do all we can in behalf of the election Of
the Alliance nominee, Hon. William
Baker, for Congress. We are happy TO
know, in his canvass thus far over the
district, that his popularity grows with
an acquaintance; and that his speeches
are fOrcible declarations In favor OF the
toiling millions, and are awakening great
interest IN behalf Of the legislation de-
mNnded 80 generally by the people. II
Is to be hoped that the time is not far In
the future when principles will have the
asCendancy in this nation, and old party
politicians will be left to consider the
folly Of their ways. But we may be as
sured Of one thing, that the political revo-
luton now pending is not going to be
brought about without vigorous effort on
our part We have a job on our hands,
and we must go forth to meet we'll and
wisely the demands upon us, or we foil,
It becomes ns therefore that we should
work In behalf Of our interests, and that
OF coming generations. who must nvnntn.

The fall in the rivers has finally
reached a point that relieves all ap-
prehensiOns of any further disaster
from overflow. The Mississippi has
fallen almost within its banks causing
the water to cease flowing through
many crevasse, and reducing the in
flow to a small quantity in others.
Red River has been very high, and in
places ran over its banks, causing
loss and injury to the river proprie-
tors.

ceeded.

There do be some fools in this great
country. There are a lot of e~nterpris-
ing chaps up North hat flood the
country, with offers to newspaper pub
fishers to do certain printing for them.
In the generosity of their great hearts
they propose to have advertising to
an amount, say twenty dollars, for
which they will give in pay a suit of
clothes, or something else worth forty
dollars on condition that the printer
will send the advertiser fifteen dollars
in advance. The generous gift offered
would be worth about ten dollars, so
that the enterprising youth would get
a lot of advertising down free. and
make enough profit to pay his bar bills
for a week. Now when any printer

RICE TROUGHS.

What will the Legislature dot Bills
have been presented to do away en-
tirely with dahls.
The passage of any laws to prohibit
rice troughs will e~ffectualiy ruin the
culture of rice in this parish and send
a large number of its citizens to power
ty. There has been but one crevasse
in the parish of Lafourche since the
late war, perhaps, since the first cul-
tivation of rice, that has been caused
by a rice dahl. That was in 1866. on
the plantation now belonging to Lee
pine & Barker, and that trough was
put in the levee in January, and
should not have been placed at that
time, but that was a period when
everything was out Of joint. and laws
were not very much respected. The
water rose against this dahl, before it
was completed, tho dirt having had
no opportunity to settle about it.
The interests of the agriculturists of
Lafourche are too great to be sacri-
feed to a sentiment.
Necessity does not require that
daliis should be prohibited here. The
rice growers of Lafourche can nut
down trOughs to irrigate their crops.
IN a manner that is absolutely safe.
and devoid of any danger. In fact
the strongest part of the Leyees will
that portion through which the
trough is extended. Let the irriga-
lion of rice be left with the Police
Jury OF the parish of Lafourche and
there will never be a caused
oy a rice trough. Put down properly,
they should be placed, and at the
proper season of the year they will
occasion disaster.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

The Governor, in his message take,
peculiar grounds in regard to the in,
sane asylum. i'll this State. The idea
that the State should erect and main
tain an asylum for insane persons SIM
ply for the Floating population, with
strictly no fixed residence, is q new
and original conception.
The purpose of sending insane Der
sons to an asylum, is first to prevent
them doing injury to themselves or
others, and second, to endeavor to
have their minds restored. Lafourche
has sent several persons to the insane
asylum at Jackson. who have been
returned with minds recovered and
who are now good and useful citizens.
Can the parishes singly, or combined
in squads of two or three, construct
the proper buildings, employ a COM
petent man to treat them and other
wise care for them I? 1t is not a com
mon Jail keeper who can manage and
treat an insane person so as to restore
his mind. if such a thing be possible.
The power of Police Juries, the gov
ernor says, is undoupted, to make the
necessary arrangements to protect the
insane in their own localities.
There is no doubt of that, Police
Juries are also authorized to do a great
many things. They could build a
charity hospital or a college, and still,
pay taxes to the State for those very
purposes.
But to construct asylums, at great
expense, for a floating population OF
insane persons, and keep the unfortu-
nate insane of the State out of them
unless extra amounts be paid for their
sustenance, is like a man who would
build q hotel for other people and for
bid his W family to enter therein,
and leave them to wander ON the high
ways.
The insane asylum should be en-
larged, another one should be built for
incurables only, and the State should
see that they have proper comforts,
medical aid, &C., necessary to render
their wretched lives as pleasant az
possible.

Suppose the levees on the west bank
of the Mississippi River had been ex-
tended to or above Cairo, 80 that all
the water that came out Of the Ohio
River in its first rise, in the latter part
of January, had been transported d.
rectly down the stream, and the great
surplus that run over the banks in the
St. Francis River valleys had been
prevented, what difference would it
have made in the later inundationsa
On February 4, the. water stood at
Helena, AZ feet, when it began to fall,
which decline continued to February
13, a term of nine days, the fall being
2.5 feet.
On February 4, the water at Vicks-
burg marked 43 feet and kept steadily
rising, so that on February Is it mark
ed AT inches. Thus there was Ok
feet fall at Helena and 1.s feet rise at
Vicksburg.
Why did not the rise continue below
Heleuaf
The reason evidently was that the
water that had run over the banks
above was then coming out of the
White and ST. Francis Rivers in guam
titles sufficient to not only overcome
the fall, but to keep the rise a. advancing.
Now if the water that flowed into the
St. Francis bottoms had been confined
to the channel of the river, it would
have passed by Helena and V~icksbure
before the next rise came along.
On February IA, the second rise
Helena and then it found the
at Vicksburg, full and rising.
when there should have been the same
fall there that had taken place at He
lena.
Until solid levees are built AZ far nm

proven.
The water must not be permitted to
the main river, to re-enter again
200 or 400 miles farther down. It may

,ers.
