The Times-Democrat gave the peo-
pie to understand that the money that
the lottery proposed to give for the
levees $3.50, 900 Year, would build us
magnificent leyee system all over the
State. How is it, then, that the United
States appropriation of 100000 for
the front south of Red river, of $500,
600 for the Tenas front, of 100000
for the White river front (Which pro-
tects the Tensas basin), amounting in
all to 100000, nearly three times as
much as the lottery proposes to give
for the whole State, will not do the
work in those localities? Can you buy
more material or pay for more work
with lottery dollar than with an hon.

Reports from the elections at the
North indicate that the Republicans
have been overwhelmed, that the next
House Of Representatives will not only
be largely Democratic owing to the
great gain in Democratic congressman,
but that States heretofore always Re
publican have elected Democratic gov
ernors and other State officers. The
Republicans by their audacity and
overweening confidence put the last
hair on the camel's back, in passing the
Mckinley bill and in their threats to
pass the force bill. The people of the
North have at last tired OF support
ing a party or rather party admins
tration that oppresses them. They
seem to be willing to try a Democratic
administration ; and although the in
famous Mckinley bill cannot be re-
pealed by Democratic House against a
hostile Senate and President, yet this
great political change is a warning to
the latter that the people are opposed
to the force bill, and that an attempt at
further legislative outrages may cause
the Republicans to lose every branch of
the Federal government in 1892

Bananas.

Let me give my experience. Ten years
ago, on my place in Fernandina, planted
several varieties. among them the
'sCavendishii." Each fall trimmed off
every leaf close to the stem, before any
frost came, taking care not to destroy
the top. The base, or stems ofthe leaves
soon withered like the stalks OF corn,
forming a sheathe, for the heart, impen-
etrable to frost. AS soon as warmer
days came, these shot up a tall green
roll, that soon expanded into the perfect
leaf and that followed by the flower and
fruit. To-day, this banana field is a
thing of beauty, bearing abundantly
each year. 1t has had no cultivation,
but the decay of it's leaves.
Usually the bearing stem bears but one
bunch, and is cut down or dies-being
succeeded by it's own suckers. 1t is we'll
known that it's body is full of it's own
juice, frozen it decays and dies. Dried it
is it's own protection, and bears in eigh-
teen months, from the sucker. Cut down
carefully, to it's round base.
The Encyclope lila says: "Itwill spring
up and bear again the sameyear." have
not experimental in that way, but note
it for the benefit of others who may.
