Hopular OplhOn 1Or a small Farm.
From the information supplied by the
cities to which l have referred, and others
which might be mentioned, it becomes evil
dent that the prevailing opinion is in favor
OF a small farm. Such q farm is the more de-
sirable for the reason that the inmates of
an almshouse are, generally speaking, so de-
Dilitated by disease ana old age as to render
them practically useless III the performance
OF manual LABOR. While the inmates of the
insane department possess more physical
strength, 1t will hardly be seriously main
tanned that men OF disordered intellects and
shattered minds are capable of rendering re-
liable or effective service in the cultivation
OF an extensive farm. 1t is moreover true
that very large proportion of those who
lind homes in our poorhouse have never had
the opportunity OF acquiring knowledge of
agricultural pursuits Being ignorant OF the
duties OF farm life, their labor cannot be ad-
Yantageously utilized in that department of
industry.
1t has been said by a very intelligent gen.
tleman Oi extended experience in the man
agement OF a poor farm, that even male
paupers who are able to work answer no
valuable purpose in tilling the soil. Lazy,
shittless and utterly without ambition, they
seek every opportunity to escape the very
appearance of work. The hope of cultivat-
ing large farm with such labor is vain, de-
luslve and unsubstantial. Chicago with her
500 acres ana 200 paupers cannot raise suffi-
clent vegetables to supply her institution.
As to the growing of wheat, rye and oats, the
experience or other cities goes TO prove that
such grain can be bought in the open market
for much less than 1t costs to produce it
through the lnstrumentality of pauper labor.
Us 1t wise, therefore, to put the municipal
lty to the expense of purchasing an extern
siYe farm? Is Ii not positively unwise to do
SO, If the prices demanded in the past are an
index OF what the prices will BET ! submit

Please Explain.

We read in the last issue of the Union
list of names, under the heading OF
Parish Democratic Campaign Com
mittee of st. Martini" without line of
explanation as to who appointed that
committee, and by what authority 1t
came into existance. 1t is not our i,iea to
oppose any of the gentlemen who are
on the committee, but we would like to
know by what authority they have been
appointed The campaign committee is
generally appointed by the parish com
mittee or convention, but this COM
mittee springs up like mushroom in
a desert, without saying by what authO-
rity it was appointed or from what
source it came.
Would it not be proper for the person
having or assuming an authority OF
this kind, to make at least public the
debates or resolutions that create such
a committee? Does it not look as if
some one who is concealed in Obscurity
is using the names of the gentlemen
published in the Union as tools for their
own personal benefit? Have those gen
tIemen been consulted before they were
appointed. and were they Informed OF
the authority that conferred the honor
upon them? Does it not look a. IL the
authority who appointed the committee
has reasons not to let the public
know who he or they are. We demand
their authority. to appoint secretly
committee under the name of the DE
mocratic Campaign Committee" when
that power is only delegated to the par
ish committee or the convention.
The parish committee when it meets
tomorrow should make it their duty TO
inquire as to who is assuming such au-
thOrity in the affairs of the democracy of
st. Martin parish.
