The Columbian Ball.

/
The Committee Of Twenty held
il meeting on "Wednesday afternoon at
the residence of Mrs. T. G. Marks, for
the purpose of deyising means to assist
in defraying the expenses of The State
Teachers Institute which will be held
here from June - to June 1G, inclusive.
After an interchange of ideas it was de-
termiued to give a "Grahd Columbian
Ball" next Tuesday, when supper and
refreshments will be served at mOder-
ate prices and excellent dance music
will he provided. The admission fee
for gentlemen will be only 50 cents, la
dies free. Tickets can he had at the
principal stores and from the school
children. Tue bali will take place at
We look for an immense crowd at this
ball and predict that it will be tic social
event of the season. All Of the young
folks will of course be there, and many
of the older ones who will buy tickets
just to help the enterprise along will
drop in to see the pretty costumes, lis

supper and refreshments. The ladies
who are engineering the affair are old
hands at the business, and iD their vo-
cabulaly there is no such word as fail.
They are thoroughly impressed with the
necessity Of giving Il proper reception
and entertainment to the distinguished
educators who will he with us ON the
dates men toned, and they correctly hold
to the opinion that all our citizens should
contribute their mite towards this OBJ
ject. Hence, while ayeise to going ON
ii begging tour, aud for this very reason
having chosen the ball lis the means of
securing the sum required, they solemn
ly declare that they will persistently
button hole every recalcitrabt - every
gentleman who fails to buy Il ticket.
As the gentlemen of the committee have
generously 1) given the ladies carte
blanche 10 the matter, their decision is
final and from it there can be no appeal.
therefore, gentlemen, there seems to be
no help for it-you must bay ticket
whether you dance or hot.

Princess Eulalie.

The sister of the Queen Regcut and
aunt of the boy King Of Spain, Princess
Eulalic, arrived at New York last week
and left immediately for Washington
to pay her respects to the President.
She was very much pleased with her re-
ception. A letter from Washinsto ton
says:
have seen real live Princess. You
have doubtless read about the arrival of
the Infauta Eulalie, the Princess of
Spain, in this country. She was accom-
panied by her husband, the Prince An
t0ine, Prince of Bourbon Orleans, and
retinue of mobiles. The party arrived
here Friday evening and we went down
on the Avenue to see it go by. Presi
dent Cleveland had sent four-in- hand
down to the depot to convey the Prin-
cess, her husband, the Secretary of State,
and Commander Davis, U. S. n, to the
Arlington, where elaborate preparations
for her reception had been made. We
got a good look at the people in the four
in hand as it drove past, preceded 10y
three troops OF cavalry, the other mem
bers of the royal party following the
Princess carriage in equipages of less
elaborate style. The Princess is % years
OF age, rather understood, and while not
considered beauty, is quite attractive.
Her husband, the Prince Antoine, is on
ly 90. The Infanta visits this country
as the social representative of the Court
of Spain, and she has 80 far been ac-
corded delightful reception. She will
remain here tor several days, and then
will go to New York, thence to the Fair.

The Assessment Question.


! On this important question Judge
! Gates, of New Iberia, writes as follows
I to the n. 0. Times Democrat:
/ assert it is fact, susceptible of proof
| from the records, that the burden oil
! taxation is borne by the small free hold
CT. AS rule, with scarcely an excep-
ton, the lands and holdings Of the small
farmers are assessed at about two
thirds of their cash value, while the
large plantations are not assessed for
more than one-ffth or one-fourth their
value-the selling price being the stand
ard. How is this to be remedied?
Article 203 of the State Constitution
provides the remedy: 1t is mandatory
when it says: That i'll order to arrive
at this equality and uniformity the
General Assembly shall provide a sys-
TEN of equality and uniformity in as
sessment.' Why the General Assembly
has never complied with this constitu-
tional mandate is beyond my ken. But
it strikes me that when member takes
all oath to obey the organic law there is
something more than moral obliga-
ton incurred.
But perhaps members think that iu-
asmuch as there are ninety eight MEM
bers of the House and thirty six of the
Senate, the oath to obey being so sub
divided the responsibility of each
amounts to very little. Be it as it may,
the failure to do 50, or make the at
tempt, is, all the same, a violation of an
oath.
There is another way of getting
equal assessments, provided our Legis-
lature is not too self conscious to adopt
that which has been found to work well
in other States. Why not take the Mis-
sissippi plan and classify the lands of
the State, fixing an arbitrary value
upon each class? Besides having the
advantage of equal assessments, this
law would meet a long felt want in this
State. refer to the power of indiyid-
uals to hold large bodies Of idle lands
which are assessed at a nominal sum for
taxation yet when some poor fellow
fees the icy North to our sunny cline,
seeking home, these idle lands become
very valuable. Assessed at 50 or 50,
the immigrant is told that they are
worth $40, S15, $40 and sometimes as
high as $50 an acre.
say that the city press should venti-
late this and other evils, because it
reaches farther and has greater intu-
ence that the country press.
Some few of us, having given some
thought to the welfare OF our State,
know of these things. But uine- -tenths
of the people know nothing of them,
and unless you gentlemen of the pless
take the matter jn hand and force
tue knowledge of the condition upon
our people, why things will stand still.
You start tue crusade and the country
press will follow.
