Tariff Revision.

The Republican members OF the
Ways and Means Committee have
agreed to report a tariff bill during
the first week in February. As
was expected, they have agreed that
the Senate bill should be the basis OF
their action and that their alterations
in it should be made on its principle.
They agreed that there should be no
free coal, free iron ore or free wool
provisions in the bill, nor indeed any
provision for any raw material of any
Importance unless it should be sugar.
The disposition is to cut the sugar
duty down lower, or to cut it away
entirely, giving the cane, beet and
sorghum sugar raisers bounty.
This action of the Republicans
will create no surprise. They were
elected to Congress by the influence
of monopolists, to legislate in the
interests of monopolistic manufac-
turers and no doubt they will faith
fully perform their work.
It is consolng to know, however,
that some of the Republican news
papers have the courage to criticise
the farcical manner in which the
tariff is being revised. The Phila-
delphia Telegraph says, ''the Ways
and Means Committee cannot expect
to effect any satisfactory revision OF
the tariff by securing the views of
only the small class who are interest
ed in maintaining the duties on their
own productions, or the views of
those who want their. raw materials
without duties and their manufac-
tured products without duties. The
Committee should ascertain the
average oginion of the whole body
of the people, of the consuming as
well as of the producing class"

Two GREAT BooKs-In "Christ in
the Camp; or Religion in the South
ern Armies" DIR. ]. VIM. Jones (the
fighting chaplain) has done a grand
work in bringing together in perma
nent and readable form the record of
the great religious work which went
on among the soldiery. Every family
throughout the Southland should
possess a copy. It gives the best
possible guarantee, if any were need
ed, that the work of the same author,
on the 'Memorial Volume of Jeffer-
son Davis; or, The Worlds Tribute
to His Memory" will leave nothing
to be desired. It is said that he is
progressing rapidly with this work,
and will soon have it ready for the
press. Having the co operation of
Mrs. Davis, and access to abundant
material of the most intense interest,
the volume is sure to be one that will
be eagerly sought after. It will be
brought out in handsome and dura.
BILE form, and at a price to bring it
within the reach of even the poorest;
while there will be an expensive edi.
ton for those who will desire this
great work in the best dress that can
be put upon it. It will be sold only
by subscription, and thus every fam
lily will have an opportunity to pro-
cure the work right at their own
homes. Any one desiring fuller
particulars, and gencies for the book,
should write at once to the publish
ers, Mrs. B. f. johnson & Co., 1908

of cost for the sugar factory is $780,,

Grand Jury Report.


To the Hon J. T. Boone, Judge of the Second
District Court, in Session at Bellevue, La:
We, the Grand Jury of BOssier
Parish, respectfully beg to report to
your Honor that, in accordance with
your Honor's charge, we have duly
inquired into the various crimes and
offences committed in our parish for
the past twelve months. We find
six true bills for murder, and TWEEN
ty FIVE true bills for other and minor
causes, and have ignored seventy
three cases.
We believe that crime is on the
increase i'll our parish, and attribute
the cause to the carrying of conceal.
ed weapons. We respectfully re-
quest, your Honor, that you admin
lister the severest penalty of the law
upon every one found guilty OF said
crime.
We find that some of our Justice
Courts are great burden to our
parish, and respectfully ask our Pc
lice Jury that they allow no cost in
any criminal cases originating in
their Courts, unless true bill be
found by the Grand Jury.
We have examined the books oil
our Parish officials, and find them
correct, to the best of our knowl
edge.
We consider our Court house un-
safe and dangerous, and request ouI
Police Jury to provide another and
safer house.
We find our public roads in about
the same condition as usual.
We have examined the bridge on
Bodcan, near Bellevue, and find il
unsafe, and ask that the toll be dis
continued, or the bridge be placed
in first class travelling condition.
We ask our Police Jury that they
reduce the toll on the bridge across
Red River, at Shreveport, to a mini
mum, as we consider the rates al
they now are, unjust and exorbitant

1000 negro emigrants on board ar
rived here yesterday over the Georgia
Central Railway. The negroes are en-
route from South Carolina to Louisi-

the cars like sardines in box. Few
OF them seemed to know where they
were going or what they would do
when they reached their destination.
They seemed to trust everythy in the
