THE SECOND PROPOSITION.
THE DISABLED, INFIRM AND INDECENT
CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS OF
LOUISIANA.

The revenue amendment which pro-
vides for the payment of 81, ,250, GOO per
annum for twenty-five consecutive years
for the privilege of maintaining a lottery
in Louisiana, contains the following
clause devoting a specific sum to speci-
tic purpose; "To pensions, $4,000 annu-
ally, payable quarterly in advance, as
above provided, to the pensioning Of dis.
abled, infirm or INDECENT Confederate vet
erans, citizens resident in Louisiana" !"
1t is not difficult to ascertain the num-
Der of disabled, infrm or INDECENT Con-
federate soldiers in Louisiana. The Leg
islature of 1884 passed Act 96, and the
Legislature of 1856 passed Act 1lG, each
providing for the free entry of 16O acres
of land by Confederate soldiers suffering
under the disabilities already named =
The widows still unmarried of such Con
federate soldiers are also under the terms
of the Acts named entitled to enter free
the same quantity of land. The benetici-
aries Of these Acts number 900, and it is
fair to assume that those who will take
advantage Of the clause IN the revenue
amendment providing $5O,G00 annually
for pensions will not exceed 900 in num-
ber. This will entitle each disabled, in
widow of such to about SIS the first yea:
after the Lottery amendment goes into
operation, and as the years advance and
the number is decreased by death, the
amount per capita will naturally be in
creased. Not ouly does the amendment
provide pensions for the old Confederate
soldiers, but it also devotes specific sum
annually to the support of the Soldiers
Home in New Orleans, where the vete.
rams of the war, now decrepid and unfit
for the active vOcations of life, may be
cared for in a way befitting the reverence
| and veneration and sense of obligation
which every true Louisianian must feel
towards them. rhe pensions given by
the Federal government to their soldiers
and widows and orphans of those who
lost their lives, are partly supported b.
the tax which the people of Louisiana
pay each year. The revenue arising from
the Lottery business in Louisiana does
not come from Louisiana. Barely pei
cent Of it is paid by the people of this
State; 81 per cent of it comes from other
States and Territories. Will it not b.
wise for Louisiana to make some return
to its old soldiers by adopting such ali
amendment to the Constitution of the
State as will result in securing pension
fund to support the disabled, infrm ol
INDECENT Confederate veterans within tht
limits of Louisiana Is it not then til.
best policy, therefore, for the people o
the State to recognize in their organi,
law fact which is patent to everybody
and secure for their disabled, intirm OF
INDECENT Confederate soldiers and thei
descendants such sum of money as vii
keep them from want as the years pass
by and their necessities becoms NOR,
pressing and their intirmities more griev
GUS to bear Welsh Crescent.

RouGH ON Our SUpBME COURT.
The arrests of the Louisiana Lotte-
ry people charged with violating the
postal laws prohibiting the sending OF
unmailable matter through the mails,
which specific offeuse consisted Of
mailing copies of decision of the
Supreme Court of this State, is but a
straw showing to just what lengths
fanaticism will 60. If a decision Of a
Supreme Court of State can be
classed as unmailable matter, pray
what cannot be so classed ? When
the rulings of our Supreme Court be-
come unmailable-well, it's rough on
the Court to say the least.-lNew Or

On the large islands in the delta of the
Amazon River there are banana gardens
which have continued to produce enor-
nous crops for nearly hundred successive
years, though the cultivators never use
any kind OF fertilizers or think it neces-
sary to practice irrigation, or rotation of
crops. Two hundred bushels of fruit
per acre Is considered only moderate
yield, while on the Irish potato farms in
cessant toll and the use of all available
fertilizers fails to insure the tenth part
Of that produce, and too often even fails
to sa{,s pEeyent aIap GSImplete degeneration Of the
their hope of survival. 1t is true that
The potato is not indigenous to the soil
OF the British Islands, but would it be
possible to substitute any perfectly re-
liable food-plant, and might it not, after
all, be the best plan to adopt Paul
Courler's suggestion to devote the colder
ATTITUDES to pastures and factories and
raise our field crops in the tropics9-
