The statesman of France are trying TO
devise some means by which the number
of marriages shall be increased. The fact
is developed that the population of France
is not only increasing remarkably slow in
proportion to the increase of the neighbor-
ing nations, but that the number OF births
are growing gradually less, year by year.
The cause of this is thought to lie in the
Frenehman's indispositfon to marry. It
is thought that laws will be passed farora-
Bile to married men and of extraordinary
severity against bachelors.-Ma

We take the following on European rice
position from circular letter of Messrs.
Richard Cough & Co.: "In addition to the
damage reported from Japan, the general
condition of rice throughout the East In
dies seems to be somewhat precarious. The
shortage in some of the larger provinces of
China is undoubted, and as China is the
largest consumer of rice in the world, and
not an exporting country, this fact is of
great weight. Besides in those districts of
India which have suffered SO severely from
drouth, there is great fear of famine, and
cable advices to-day report large shipments
from Rangoon, Bassein etc, as being al
ready made thither to meet the expected
deficiency. As to Japan, which is now the
leading foreign rice in this market, it must
be noted that her exports have never ex-
ceeded from to per cent of her crop, so
that a deficiency of 20 per cent as per con-
seryative estimates received by cable, would
produce state of affairs exactly like two
years ago, when an advance began which
placed Japan rice here at 6@6kc per lb. -
n. Y. Commercial Bulletin, Sept. oath.
Referring to above, 6@6Izc per pound for
cleaned is equivalent to $5O0M$5.5 30 per bar
rel rough, 162 pounds. 1t would be folly to
advise our planters to hold in expectation
of getting fancy prices, but there is certain
ly no good reason why they should not get
right royal results from their rice crop this
year. We say unhesitatingly 81 per bar
rel, good quality, rough on plantation, is
very reasonable.-Sugar Bowl

objectionable Distortion.

| The Lafayette agreement declares that
| the parties to it are two factions of the De-
| mocratic party, declares that its object is
to secure the defeat of the lottery and to
exclude all lotteries from the State by "all
| lawful means" and to maintain "the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party" 1t pro-
yides further that "the delegates to the De-
mocratic nominating convention shall be
selected, according to Democratic usage,
by all the anti-lotteryites and farmers nn-
| ionists of each parish"
When first published, some persons in
clined to malicious evil, pretended that
this language meant that the lottery DEM
ocrats were to be excluded from the demo-
cratic primaries. We were, however, un-
der the impression that all proper persons
had abandoned that absurd charge. There
fore, we were surprised when told that
some OF the minor lottery papers were still
seeking to gull the people with it. Still
greater was our surprise when informed
that, at the late meeting at Woodwork
Springs, in st. Landry, gentlemen had con-
descended to stoop to that low demagogue-
ism, that one respected gentleman read
the agreement and insisted that that was
its undeniable meaning.
Did that gentleman then explain to the
people that the agreement declared that
only "lawful means" would be resorted to
in securing its object?
object is to maintain democratic principles
mot only in name, but in spirit?s Did he
point out to them that it expressly declares
that selections of delegates to the state
convention are to be made according to
democratic usages?" Did he call their at
tention to the fact that the exclusion of
one portion of democrats from the prima-
rles, by another portion, would be in utter
violation of the democratic principles and
usages by which the parties to the agree
ment declare they will be governed? Did
he indicate to them the utter impossibility
OF executing such plan, and its inexpres-
sible absurdity? Or did he leave them un-
der the impression that democratic princi-
piles and usages authorized such high-han-
ded measures? And if the latter then by
what name should what he did be called?
Iberia Democrat
The Lake Charles Echo makes the state
ment that the large majority of the sher-
IDS OF this State oppose, what it styles, the
revenue amendment on the ground that
taxation would be reduced and their com
missions as we'll.
1t further says that the adoption of this
amendment is against the interest of sher-
ifs
The Echo, however, admits that there are
some sheriffs who are so patriotic as to
support the amendment, thus fayoring a
reduction of taxation and therefore they
should be reelected.
Friend Echo, 60 and tell such things to
the marines. Your story is pretty well
stated but, in the language of friend of
ours, sensible men fail to see the point
