1t matters not that the men appoint

PIE. imbaed from their cradle with the
spirit of republican institutions, and
brought mp under a republican form
of Government, cannot long endure

prove q rock Of perdition to that par

The ..signs Of the times are unmis-

! curtailment Of the executive aggran-
dizement. and the restoration of the
prerogatives of the people in the full

it believes 10 the truth of what il has
said, and that the time TO speak that

come to provide for the future. to

~WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN,

FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 26, .93.
The past week averaged several
degrees warmer than usual throughout
Louisiana. and was dry-but a sprin-
kle Of rain having fallen in South
Louisiana. and an average of less than
a fourth Of an inch il the northern
parishes. The days were generally
clear and snnshiny weather predomi-
mated TO a very great extent.
These conditions were most desira-
BILE to the farming interests of the
State. since crops We're grassy from
the heavy rains of previous weeks and
required thorough cleaning, which
task is new the order of the day, and
is progressing finely.
There is a general continued I'M
provement reported regarding the sta
Piles of the State. Cane is growing
rapidly and looks fine laying by Of
the crop has been retarded here and
there on count Of the field hands
being utilized on work III connection
with the levees. Cotton, where clean.
is growing fast and is more promising
in such localities than at date of last
report: there are some few complaints
Of rust aud worms, and of bad stands
in ~lowlands, but generally speaking
the crop is in good condition Oh high
lands. Corr is all laid by and is re-
covering, 10 a great measure, from the
i'll effects of the recent heavy rains !;
it is caring finely aud is quite pronis-
ing, except in lewlands. Rice needs
rain in some localities. and wherever
practicable planters have taken to the
pumps. No damage has yet been
done to this staple from dry weather,
and it could probably stand two weeks
more dry weather without serious
damage still IA good rain would be
beneficial. The crop is promising.
Fruit and garden truck continue III
good condition.
! few casualties are reported from
hot weather.
No late reports have been received
from the section now being overhowed
by the waters from the Rescue cleyas-
Sc. but it is Known that that vicinity
presents the aspect of a vast lake, and
that the damage to crops in that sec
ton will be considerable.
Tie water in the north
eastern parishes is receding slowly
and cotton planting will be continued
until July 1st, at least on lands from
which the water has receded. 1t is va
riously estimated that the cotton crop
of Tensas will be 5000 short Of last
year. and that about 40oIo Of tile Gull
rlvated land of the parish is under
water. A report from East Carroll
states that that parish continues to be
from ! to J under water, and that the
overflow is receding slowly.
The lower river is failing gradually,
and marked falls are daily reported
between Eicksburg and Cairo, the fall
at Helena, Ark. being over fifteen feet
in past twenty days, and to days
stage at Memphis and Cairo being be-
tween Is and 10 feet below the dan
ger line.
Special reports from Arkansas and
Mississippi state that crops are I'M
proving and growing rapidly. and
that conditions are generally favora
bic.

SATURDAY JULY 1st. 1893.


The Commission to revise the Con-
stitution provided for by the Lesisla-
ture has been appointed, and will
meet on July 18th. for the purpose of
organization
Muchi is expected of this Commission;
and it is to be hoped that it will per-
form it's work with such Intelligence
ard patriotism that the result will
meet with the cordial appreciation and
sanction of the people.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to point out what should be done by
the Commission /; at some more op-
perfume time the SENTINEL may have
its suggestions to made on the mat
tiers before the Commission. For the
present, it wishes simply to eonfine it
self to needed reforms which can be
accomplished inside of the Constitu-
ton as it exists at present.
1t is manifest to every intelligent
person that there exist many evils
which a ebe eradieated by prefer
legislation which may now be enacted.
without necessity of any constitution
al amendment. The greatest of these
evils finds its source in the extensive
patronage in the hands of the execu-
tive.
The existence Of this evil seems to
be recognized by many of our legisla-
tors, if we may judge from the num-
Der of bills introduced at the last SEES
sion, looking to an abatement of the
cause of it. For obvious reasons, the
proposed legislation did not bear
fruition. Following close upon the
election, the friends of tie admins
tration resented it as an attempted
slight on the executive, and rallied to
a man against it. The friends of the
proposed legislation had chosen an in
Opportune time for theinauguratlon of
their reform.
But at the coming session will be
the proper time to press the matter.
The friends of the administration will
no be able to give as a reason for OPP
posing any legislation on the subject
that it is an infringement of the pre-
negatives of the executive.
The executive patronage is undoubt-
eddy responsible tor much of the poll
teal excitement, turmoil and bitter
feeling which now characterize our
party canvasses. Petty positions oil
police jurors and school directors, and
judicial and other high positions
are bartered In advance by local lead
ers as conditions for the support of
this or that mar for governor. Men
are placed in these positions after the
election, not on account of any pecu-
liar fitness which they have to I'LL
them, nor yet because the people OF
their wards, parishes or districts de-
sire them, but because this or that
henchman of the successful candidate
for the governorship, wants their APP
pointment as a reward for services
rendered.
As a result of this false and undem-
ocratic system of civil service, we
have in many instances men put in
power to tax the people and spend

on q Crop Which He Promised 10
Make.
We have heretofore given instances Of re-
markable feats in National and private finan-
ciering, but the last act, we think, outstrlps
them all. Tne story, as related to us. was
somewhat In this way. An inqpecunious Cit
izenl with agricultural tendencies, was in
need OF horse, and bargained for one from
q neighbor, for which he was TO pay $50 In
cash, provided he could raise the wind: The
trade was allowed to stand, subject to the pos
sibility of raising the $50 In cash. The horse
buyer-so the story goes-came to AbbeYille.
and applied to some one here for the loan OF
$50 on mortgage OF his horse and a lien on
the crop which he intended to raise with the
horse. Securing the SS0I cash, he mortgaged
the horse which he intended to buy. and gave
a lien on the crop which be Intended TO make
with the horse which he intended to buy.
Like an honest man, the horse buyer took
the $50 and went Immediately to his neigh
bor and paid $50 Of IL for the horse which he
had already mortgaged. In due time the
horse buyer still true TO principle and promise,
proceeded to carry out the remainder OF the
contract to make crop OF cotton win whlch
to repay the borrowed money, and except for
the fact the horse went back on MIN ana dIeu
early in the engagement the Aforesaid impe.
cunious citizen with agricultural tendencies
would have repaid every cent or the SSO whlch
he borrowed. As 1t is, his Intentions were
good. and he will yet pay, II be Is ever able 10
do so. He did the best he could 10 pay. An
gels could do no more.
