1t appears that the DEMOCRAT was
rn,1pct in its surmise that Judge Lewis
voted ia the Legislature Of 1866 for the
licensing of lotteries at $4,000 a year.
The Official Journal OF the House proves
that such is the fact. Now. IT lotteries
are SO utterly wrong and smmoral I'D
Ssst that they should not be licensed at
anv nrice. then it was nothing short of
!. crime ts license them in 1866 for the
small pittaaee of $4,000 year. On
tLe other hand. ii it was tight to license
them in 1866 for this paltry sum, the
wrong cannot be SO very leinous If we

The Hon. Joseph a. Breaux, in his
biennial report to the General Assembly
in 1889, says: Louisiana cannot afford
to be parsimonious in so far as relates
to her schools. Every consideration
demands that school advantages he Of
fered to the youths of this State. With
out these advantages, the fertility of
the soil and other natural resources will
be as naught." These are patriotic
words molly expressed. But is it right,
is it honest, is it patriotic for the antis
to refuse the school advantages to be
derived from the adoption of the reve-
nue. amendment Is the immortality of
gambliDg-to those WHO consider lot
teries gambting-rot over balanced by
the advantages of a liberal public school

The Baton Rouge Truth says that at
the fair recently held in that city, there
was not single exhibit of agricultural
products made by any farmer or farm
er's club or organization, and adds
i" To think that an agricultural section
as rich i'm soil as ours should not have so
much as bushel of corn or potatoes at
a fair held in their own midst is indeed
humiliating, is shameful"
Commenting upon this fact of omi-
Dous significance the n. O. Picayune
asks What is the matter with Lou
isiana's farmers9 Are they so busy
with politics that they have not time to
exhibit their products at their State
Agricultural Fair7 Such fact shows
great lack Of enterprise and State
pride" So it does; and the demago-
CUES who are deluding and misleading
the farmers are responsible for this.
They are responsible, too, for the COM
ing dissolution of their worthy order,
which would have been productive of
incalcnlable benefit to the country had
it avoided the rocks and shoals of pol
itics, among which their too heavily
laden craft is now tloundering.

JOSEPH BLOCH,
Corner Of Main and Bellevue Street

The RoheIine correspondent of the
New Delta-that journal has a marvel
lous gift in the selection OF colrespon-
dents-folwarded the silly statement
that the action Of "the six hundred -
braves of Sabine was provoked by " the
bold assertion OF tue managers Of the
proposed barbecue that number of
armed men from Coushatta, Alexan-
dria, Natchitoclies, Proyencal, Cypress
and other towns along the railroad
would be present to see that the speak
ers had fair show
A contradiction of this self-evi,leut
misstatemeDt seemed scarcely neces-
sary, but the Democratic Review mildly
refers to it as follows:
We state, aud we are fully conscious
of the responsibility we assume, that
the writer of those lines is not only
ifalsifier OF facts but g blackguard to

Correspondence from New Orleans
notes that the millers are entering into
a corporation by which to reduce the
competition in buying of rough rice aud
enhance the values of the cleaned pro-
duct. Ten of the mills are said to have
signed the agreement. but the matter is
jeopardized because of the unwilling
ness Of two to enter the pool. We fear
the movement will greatly damage the
interests of the rice planters. We, of
course, do not know as to the margins
secured by the millers, but il they are
good business men can see no reason
why they should not prosper. If they
are reckless in their methods of selling,
should the planter be expected to stand
by aud aid them in their foolish career :?
We believe that the trouble ia solely
due to lack of spirit and enterprise.
Again, we might say that the milling
methods ia many Of the institutions are
primitive. they are ranlshackIe affairs
and cannot make money for themselves
and only muss the market for their bet
tiers. Planters will do well to keep
sharp lookout OH this present move and
take some steps to checkmate in case
they so too far,

surplus cash il contained, about IS. As yet
there is no clue to the burglars.
Amelia GOdsey. the seyen-year-old daughter
Of Mr.. r. w. Godsey. living about a mile
from this city, was burned TO death last
night. The child was sent to the kitchen by
her mother to make fire. which she pro-
ceeded 10 do by aid of the deadly Kerosene
can. An explosion followed and notwith-
standing the grand efforts of the mother,
who did all in her power to save her child.

Association had purchased 10000 acres of

it il intended 10 cOlonize Russian Jews can
not be verified after investigation Some
months ago negotiations were begun for
large bodies OF land in the locality referred to,
but there was no iDtimation Of the purpose
for which it was wanted, and these negoti-
atoms have been discontinued.
This week the passenger tram on the Scott
land Neck and Greenville road came near be-
ing completely wrecked by the warping of
the rails by the intense heat. But for the
vigilance of Engineman George Smith serious
damage and probably loss of life would have
resulted.
This is said to be the hottest June ever
known in this locality. but fortunately the
mortality has not been increased The heat
has been most beneficial TO the crops and
they are now growing well. having improved
at least fifty per cent. within the past ten days.
There IS still, however. complaint of scarcity
of labor and wages have increased proportion
atey. Ii Is almost impossible 10 make any
estimate OF a cotton crop until September.
and the probable effects upon it OF good and
Bad weather are more or less guess-work.
Large quantities of truck are now lying on
the wharyes at Washington. and cannot be
shipped because the transportation facilities
are taxed beyond their capacity The rail
road will change all this by next season.
