Your dealer in lamp-chim-

There are common glass and

There are foggy and clear.
There are rough and fine.
There are carefully made and
hap-hazard.

Worse than that, sir-wien you hay,
| an Institution that goes openly before

that III less than ten years after its re
charter will carry in its pocket ever,
governor iu the State, remove even
honest judge from the bench, and pu
their men N the places to do their bid
ding, what then will Louisiana bs
worth ?-Dr. Palmer at the Crane
opera House.
Past experience being the best stand
ard by which to judge.uf future events
let us see how many governors the Lot
terry Company has controlled during
the twenty-five years OF its existence.
Warmoth was Governor when the
measure passed, and if the lottery had
| him " in its pocket" then he seems t,
| have gotten out, for he is to-day the
| recognized head OF the Harrison admin.
| Istration forces in this State and is rid
ing the anti hobby-lOrse with as much
| vigor as any one-excepting, always
DR.. Palmer himself. Opposition to the
proposed revenue amendment was the
chief plank in the platform on which
the Collector was recently defeated fol
Congress and he certainly received Nc
help in that fight from the friends of the
lottery revenue measure.
Kellogg was tho next Governor, and
the Lottery could not have had him
very deep" in it's pocket" for when the
great struggle came between the Repub-
lican organization that had been bolster
ed up lily Federal hayonets and tie gov
eminent elected by the people and
headed by Nichols, both money and
what influence the Lottery Company
possessed was thrown on the side OF the
people of the State, and the Nichols
government, largely through its c0ntri-
buttons, became finally firmly INSTALL
ed.
The lamented Wilt succeeded Mich
oils and in all the vituperation that has
been hurled by the anti press and ora
tors at their opponents they have never
said aught that in any way connected
that popular Executive with the lot
terry.
Judge Nc Emery was the next in line,
and he could not have been carried" in
its pocket" for the ants do not fail, in
season and out, to quote utterances of
his antagonistic to the lottery.
The next great fight for party suprem-
acy was between factions headed, re-
spectively, by McEnery and Nichols,
that the result trembled in the bal
ance, the Lottery again assisted in turn
ing the tide in favor of Nichols.
1t will thus be seen that Gov. Mich
oils and his following have been the
beneficiaries Oh the only two occasions
when the Lottery Company has taken a
hand in gubernatolial contests, and DR.,
Palmer will hardly charge that these
shining "moralists are carried Gin
the pocket" Of that company.
Therefore, lis the lottery has controll-
cd no Executive in the past twenty-five
years, by what process of reasoning does
DIR. Palmer arrive at the conclusion
that in ten years another lottery COM
pany will control not only all the Gov
errors but the judges as well9
The facts of the past would not seem
to bear ont the doctors direful fancies
Of tue future.
St. Landry democrat., 1891-07-11

The New Orleans States thinks the
Advocate WAS in error in saying that
Gov. Nichols bounced the suspects "
in the siaughterhouse bribery cases.
From a technical point of view the
States is right, but Che Governors &C
ton was prompt, and we were willing
to conceGe to him all the credit which
that promptness implied. 1t was in
strong contrast to the course taken by
President Adams, who declined TO ac-
cept Clayton's resignation on the evil
dence OF the grand jnry's report, and
preferred the SLOW process of further
investigation by the Alliance commit
tee on grievances. AS such invcstiga-
tions in Alliance circles have hitherto
resulted invariably in whitewash, we
are disposed to regard the delay with
some suspicion. The Governors plan
was short, sharp and decisive, and we
commended it as doing him a degree
Of credit that offset to some extent
the average pisheadcdness of his add

The Georgia melon crop is now be-
| ing shipped to northern markets, and
the season will last six weeks. 1t is an
important item of agricultural industry
in that State, yielding net revenue to
the farmers of 100000 a year, from
$4,000 acres of land, against gross in
come of $50, 100000 year for the cotton
crop, raised on 100000 acres. The
present crop will be about 10000, 900
melons, which will load 10000 cars, and
the business Is handled through the
melon exchange, with agents in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore,
Chicago and other cities, systematized
so as to avoid quitting the market at
any point. The selling agents advise by
wire daily the quantity to be shipped,
and it is so arranged that in no place
can there be more melons than are ac-
tually needed. BY this system the
market is always held firm, and the
melons are generally sold in the field.
Six weeks is considered the melon sea-
son proper. But it was not always so.
A few years ago the melon grower had
his own commission house, and instead
of having his own customers he was
the customer Of others.-Baton Rouge

False Philanthropy.

w. P. Andrews, in the October Forum
shows how philanthropy of people espec-
tally of Mass, is making criminals. 1t is
a singular statement that he makes. The
people of that state are crowding into the
prisons and almshouses at rate that is
surprising because they find life so much
pleasanter than outside. The disgrace is
not felt where so many are in the same
category and pursuing the same object,
and the inconvenience of prison life has
been reduced to minimum. The article
gives us curious revelation of human ma
ture. 1t shows how large class are will
ing to impose upon the kindness OF those
who would help them and seek to improve
their condition. Some OF these miserable
wretches who fatten on what is really in
tended for the unfortunate would hedge
at nothing. s'They should be condemned
to scrape barnacles off the wrong side of
oblivion until the sun turns into an icicle.
The fact is, according to this writer, we
are doing all we can to eliminate the pun
tive idea in our treatment Of the vicious.
We talk too much about reformation,
where men should be made to suffer for
their evil deeds. There may have been a.
buses in old times but we are going to the
other extreme. The writer calls the pres
ent method the ORCHESTRAL Prisoners
are the objects of the attention of Fruit
and Flower Missions. They are fed high.
As soon as they close term of service
they get another. In fifty years the ratio
of prisoners to population in Mass. has
been reduced so per cent. II this ratio is
kept up in another fifty years they viii all
be criminals. The article is an astonish-
ing disclosure and ought to set men to
thinking how to do good in some better
way.
