ABOUT RICE FLUMES.
st. James Courier: A great deal of
complaint is being made by tie rice
planters in regard to the law, ordering
tue removal of pipes or conduitS from
the public levees of the state This
arises not only fibm the fact tha, the
slphon is not considered by all ii safe
means fol irrigation at all stages of the
river. bnt also from the queer antics of
the legislature on the subject. At eve
ry session OF that body for some years
past, some change has been III de in
regard to the manner of placing rice
humes two Years ago iron pipes were
substituted for wooden fumes. and
consequently at every session addition
al expense was laid on the plar ter.
Two Years ago, the planters, III obeGi-
ence to the law, substituted at great
expense iron pipes for the fumes for
melly in use, and now they are made
to undergo the expense of removing
these pipes.
VOTE IN THE PROVINCES.
Shreveport Times: There can be no
possible good done by staying away,
but there can be great harm, and the
only true and Democratic method of
defeating arbitrary measures is to con-
denim them by your vote at the polls.
Every citizen who holds aloof and re-
fuses to vote for his choice really adds
the strength of two votes to the oppo-
sltion. While the method is to be both
deplored and denounced, yet when it
is done by regular u,hority, autocratic
though it be, it must in measure be
acqulesced in, but should be condemned
10y an overwhelming vote which would
express the peoples disapproval of
both the methods and objects. STAYING
away, sulking in your tents, only gives
taclt consent to the methods and will
never remedy the evil; therefore, we
say to the Democratic voters, exercise
your right as citizens, vote at the pri-
mary for whoever your choice may be,
and if your favorites be defeated YOU
will at least have the consolation of
knowing that you have done your best
for them, and not shirked your duty as
a citizen and a Democrat.

the party vote as a unit. The Republic
cans are still divided, and it looks as if
the split will last for while yet. So
long as it does last there is no danger
or a dicker between the third and Re.
publican parties. The former d oes not
know which faction of the latter to
trust. The populites entertain no hope
whatever of carrying the state for Wea-
yer. They are fighting for representa-
tives from the Fourth and Fifth con-
gressiOnal districts. In this one their
fight will be in vain, unless some un-
forseen calamity overtakes our party,
causing us to divide again into factions.
1t is the duty of every Democrat to do
his utmost to prevent such consllm
nation, and it is one that we do not
now dread. In the Fifth district the
party machinery is not working as
smoothly as it should work, still we
have enough faith in the good sense,
honesty and party loyalty of our breth
ren to believe that they will elect !.

may be Gunby, but he will be Demo-
