Hon. Fl. L. Garland On the Political
Situation,

The following letter was written by
our esteemed fellow citizen, Hon. II. L.
Garland, who is a close observer and a
deep thinker, and who scOrns the arts
of the political trickster and dema-
gOgue, in reply to an invitation to adj
dress democratic meeting in st. Mary
parish:
OPELOUsAs, SEPT. 49, 1891.
Messrs. Thos. J. Shafer, Henry j. Sanders and
others, Committee:
Gentlemen-I have the honor TO ackuowl-
edge your invitation TO attend and to address
the grand mass meeting at Franklin on the 4th
of October am sorry to forego the pleasure
of meeting my fellow citizens. Ny bad health
will not allow me to engage in any political
campaign. / feel deep interest i'll what is GO
ing on in our State, and for that reason regret
much not to be able to miDgle with the people
and to advise with them.
My greatest concern Is in relation to the prin-
ciples and to the organ cation of the Old demo-
cratic party. Enemies flying different colors
are all approaching it from different points of
attack. 1t stands, and has always stood as the
only buwark of the rights Of the States and
the individual against the many parties and
issues which have shown temporary existence
in the United States since 1900. It Is the only
anchor 10 which we can safely moor.
will here add that the revenue amendment,
which. if adopted by our people. will give us
means to carry out our internal politics, vii
receive my vote. II could be in your midst
on the 4th would urge my fellow-citizens of
st. Mary to consider only the reas0nings, pro
and CON- which have or may be addressed on
this question. Let not consideration be given
to catcl-words, clap-trap phrases Or buldozing
threats.
The people are in grand deliberative assem-
bly, till the day of election. Up to the last no
ment when they are to act they should inform
themselves. Then they will act according to
their best judgment, their best conscience and
their best interests.
Respectfully yours,

Weather Crop Bulletin for the Week
ending Oct. 10.

The temperature has been below the
normal during the past week, the daily
deficiency amounting to three degrees
i'm the southern, and to Fix degrees in
the northern portion of the State.
Both rainfall and sunshine have been
above the normal.
Warm and cloudy weather prevailed
on the 3rd, 4th and 9Th, with heavy
rains in eastern Louisiana and lighter
falls in the western parishes on those
dates. A cold wave has affected the
less to vegetation) occurred at various
stations on tho nights of the 7th, 9Th
and 9th.
The weather has been too cool for
cotton, although no very unfav0rable
results are reported. The open cotton
was slightly damaged in some sections
by heavy rains of the early part Of the
week. Boil worms are doing some in
jury in North Louisiana. Fine weather
for picking has prevailed during the
past five days.
The condition Of the cane crop con-
tinues to improve. The cold has check
ed growth, and is ripening the canes
rapidly. Planters are satisfied with the
present weather, although higher tenn
peratures with occasional showers
would be more acceptable, as the stalks
we're rendered slender by the long
droutb, and are capable of further de-
velopement. while the ripening process
could be well postponed for week or
so.
The weeks weather has been gener-
ally injurious to rice on account of the
low temperatures, although the late
crop was benefited to some extent by
rains. GEO. E. HUNT,
Weather Bureau, Director
