We are sorry this gentleman has seen
proper to retire from the Editorial chair
of the Baton Rouge 4drocate.
During his management as editor the
paper has been marked by ability, and
efficiency in the causes he has upheld.
We hope he may find a wider and if
possible, better field for his future
labors.
His bow from the arena of journalism
3s indeed graceful, bnt we trust his re-
appearance may not long be deferred.

The Marksville Review censures the
Bordelonville Democrats for not first
learning what the Editor was willing
for them to say about the effort to make
anti-lotteryism an Ingredient of the
Avoyelles Democracy.
Those people know too well, alas
what it is to live behind an improvised
levee. Year after year, they have seen
their labors entirely lost. Time after
time they have petitioned the authori-
ties for strong, protective levees, in a
great degree, they have been driven to
resist the descending and destructive
floods, themselves only to witness final
devastation of their fields. After all
are censnred, because they are suspected
of unbelief, in the efficacy of very
much diluted solution of galvanized
sentiment, which the editor and others,
propose to inject into the femorol artery
of the body polite.

A Christian and Humane Institution

1t affords pleasure to know that here
and there in this struggling world, there
are to be found, those who are willing
to appropriate the monetary rewards OF
life of labor, to the doing of humane
deeds. An enterprise has been on foot
ln New Orleans, for short time, which
has already attracted, because it de-
serves attention. We allude to the
"Faithists Home for Infants, corner of
Clay Avenue and Patton streets, New
Orleans.
The motto of the Institution is, "suf-
fer not homeless and destitute babes to
die from lack of care, for they will be
accepted and raised up to be virtuous
and happy, rejoicing in Him who Great
ed them" They arc received in New
Orleans, and as speedily as possible, con-
veyed to the home near Ell Passo, where
they are cared for, instructed, taught
habits of industry, trades &c. until able
to provide for themselves, and without
charge. All infants, regardless of race,
or, sectarian creeds are received. No
questions are asked concerning paren-
tage. We had the pleasure of meeting
Col. Ross who has charge of the, Eve
may call IT'D nursery in New Orleans, and
by him were informed, that all that is
required is that, the babe, regardless of
its age, shall be given up entirely to the
of the home. That they
are not willing to receive an infant, un-
less they can raise it to an age, when it
may have instruction, and knowledge
Of some industrial calling by which it
can be self sustaining and useful.
We say it gives us pleasure to realize
that there are some such good and hu-
name persons in this world, as the found
BIS of the Faithist's Home for Infants.

at that time the treasury Of the United
States will take all the silver offered to il

market price up to the limit four and q
half million ounces a month. It pay
ment the treasury will issue certificates,
or treasury notes, which will be a legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
unless otherwise expressly provided for
In the contract. These notes will be re.
deemable on demand in coin, gold or
silver at the discretion Of the secretary,
and may be re-issued whenever they
come into the treasury. When held by
any national banking association such
notes may be counted as part Of its law

silver dollars under the present law will
cease when the new act goes into opera.

New Empire Amsng Us.

Ten years ago the population Of the
United States, as shown by the figures
collected by the enumerators Of the gov
eminent, was so, l55, 443. To-day, accord
ing to the most conservative estimates, it
reaches 81, 100000 The average increase
in the decades since 1870, when the first
count was made, has been considerably
over 80 per cent. 1t was $50 between
1870 and 1900, $3.50 from the latter date
to 1910, 1906 between that time and 1870,
32.5I in 10000, 1852 in 1SSO-'4O, IS .s3
in lS40-'5O, 35.ll in lS5U-'6O, 22.65 in
lS6O-'70, and SO,0S in lS70-'sO. The low
ratio Of increase between 1860 and 1870
was due to the civil war, which largely re-
duced immigration and lessened the birth
rate. In no other IO-year period, except
the one which closed in 1880, did the ad-
vance drop below 80 per cent. An addi-
ton now equal to that Of the last decade
and most authorities believe that it will
be at least equaled-Would add Ii, OOO, 900
to the eountry's Inhabitants, and bring
the total up to the 65, 600, 900 mark. 1t is
probable that the average reader fails to
grasp the entire dimensions and signifi-
canoe Of this tremendous expansion in
population. The number Of new resi-
dents which the country has gained since
1880 is almost as great as that OF the en-
| tire nopulation Of Snain. aa Oraat NJ that

and have some land under irrigation.
The average yield Of tobacco on the
Mckee farm Is given as 800 pounds per
acre, and costs when cured 10 cents per
pound; hops on the same farm average
1900 pounds per acre, and cost, ready 10
ship, 0 cents per pound; alfalfa hay
yields ~ tons per acre, and costs in the
stack $l.55 per ton. When hops are
worth Is to 20 cents per pound, Mr.. Smith
considers $3.50 per acre a fair average
profit per acre on the Mckee farm, which
is selected as an illustration, as the books
and accounts Of the farm company can
be seen and the figures verified. Alfalfa
hay sold that season at $S5 per ton, but
Mr.. Smith, figuring the minimum price
at Sl2 per ton in the field, shows q net
profit Of 1903 per ton. The profits on
cigars which are made by the Mckee
people-on an average, forty cigars are
made from q pound Of tobacco-can be
estimated, at the rate Of IS per thousand,
Is the selling price in the home market.
The estimated cost Of preparing the ground,
including clearing some Of the sage brush,
but exclusive Of the cost Of their main
ditch, at $3.50 per acre. On this land.
grain must be flooded twice or three times
during the dry season, while alfalfa must
be flooded every 10 or II days, at q cost
Of IA cents per acre for each time 1t is
80 flooded. The cost Of irrigating by
pumping the water from the Snake river
Is estimated at from % to g per acre per
season more than by the gravity ditch
process. Land susceptible to irrigation
is quoted at 800 per acre. Orchard land
ranges from 1900 to $1,000 per acre, &C
cOrding to age and variety Of trees. One
grower, ]. W. Prosby, Of Columbus,
Klickitat county, says he raised 10000
pounds Of grapes to the acre. Peaches
ripen by July LIST, while grapes ripen
July 10th.
In conclusion, Mr.. Smith says there il
plenty Of water for irrigating purposes,
and that capital and enterprise are the
only requisites needed to develop the
arid landsof Washington. That both will
come where there are such good induce
mehts and prospects be has no doubt.
The mild Italian climate and the all
sence Of "cyclone cellars" in the arid
land districts Of Washington come in for
brief reference.
