Rapid Levee Ruilding.

Warned by past experience the
leyee Commissioners throughout
Louisiana are expediting work ID
every way possible. so as TO be ready
for early high water. 1t will be re-
membered tina, In old days the work
was generally 80 delayed from many
causes that the food caught US an
prepared and with many levees in a
half completed condition, the water
standing against them, while the
levee laborers were still at work.
We have steadily improved on
that each year, but even of late the
leyees were completed only short
time before the high water, and did
not have time to solidify and harden
when the river was rushing against
them. Now 1t is different. The
fifth Tor Tensas) levee district will
have all its low lines of levees COM
pleted by Dec. l, and will be in a
splendid condition to withstand "a
big river"
The moht important piece of
work in the district, the Wyly Gre
vase levce, was completed Oct. Is.
1t is 1851 feet long. cotains l35, 900
cubic yards of earth and averages
l3 feet in height, with ditch 8 feet
deep, IL feet wide at top and 4 at
the bottom.
The contract for closing this
break was let to s. L. James & CO., !,
on July 81, but owing to dispute
as TO the location of the levee, work
was not begun on 1t until Aug. Z,
vet it WAS turIied over entirely com-
pleted on Oct Is, in bat little over
two months. making it the most
rapid piece of work that was eyer
done on the Mississippi river levees.
Evidently we are progressing III
levee building, as well as in closing
creyasses.
With this satisfactory work the
chances were never better of escap-
ing an overflow next spring aud
summer. even if the river is very
high. -Times-Democrat.

The Shreveport Progress CON-
menting on the appointment of
Lieutenant Governor Parlange to
the Supreme Judgeship says respect
ing the action of Senator Hiram
Il. Lott:
Now we have it that Senator
Hiram pretends great respect, love
and veneration for the farmers, is
indeed in the Senate by the grace
of their votes; but is very, very
absent minded and always fergeis
ON which side of question, bill or
election his farmer friends interests
lie, and invariably lands on the OPP
posite shore. III fact We believe
Uncle Hiram is oily, very oily. aud
his desire to remain in the Senate
for the dear peoples sake Is a simu-
iation whicl, is well creased with
the desire to assist friends who love
the agricultaralists and laborlng
people IN 10 t.ic bduhCio Va " al

Hiram! you will take that seat
promptly on the assembling of the
next Legislature. Now don't be
unruly and indignant, nor flash up
with the patriotic desire to do your
duty. serve your country and i'm
molate your ambition on the altar,
of your country, because it Won't
Igo down. So Just behave yourself,
act like man and enjoy the honors
Of the Lleutenant-G Governors Office.
Why, Uncle Hiram! the average
man of intelligence would feel
highly complimentcd at having this
position rendered him, and yon'
modesty in declining deprives your
relations of being able to boast of a
kinsman who is a Lieutenant Cover

The River Commission meet in
St Louis to-day and will proceed
down tne river or their annual trip.
What good does the River Conlmis-
sion do? They never stop to in
spect levees nor anything else. And
all they do, is to have good time
generally. Here is what Abbott
Veach, in the Times Democrat says
Of the Commission:
The Mississippi river is in worse
condition now than it has been for
y ears. 1t has been going down bill
ever since the appropriations were
placed in control Of the Mississippi
River Commission. Can anybody
point out one good thing they have
done for the river? Can anybody
tell what was done with all the
money appropriated since they took
the reins? Can anybody tell why
they insist on having their Office In
New York instead Of on the banks
Of the river they represent? Can
anybody tell why they run night
and day when on their selni-annual
trains of Inspection.

"Accursed CT Heaven

The San Antonia Crexas) Express
editor has been "roasted alive" by
the Louisiana Press for his contempt
able slur found below. He takes
the late storm as a text, and de-
lIvers the following TRADE against
Louisiana. claiming that the terrible
disaster was visitation of Provi-
dence on account of the sins of the
people:
ssrhe terrible storm which recent
ly caused such terrible destruction
of life and property in Louisiana
serves to call attention to the fact
that the Pelican State is subject to
about every plague known to other
lands, and to some peculiarly its
own. The seven vials of st. John
seem to have been poured out upon
1t, the curse OF heaven to rest ever
upon its people. 1t is the home of
the flood and the storm the abiding
place of disease and death.
Destructive overhows are as com
mon in Louisiana as cyclones in
Kansas, and far more destructive.
The coast country for distance OF
from twenty to sixty miles inland
is one vast unhealthy swamp, liable
at any time to be swept by the
waves of the ocean. The low, fat
surface of the State, its thousands
of stagnant bayous, its intolerable
heat and excessive rainfall ranging
from sixty inches in the south to
fifty inches in the north make
Louisiana the natural home Of ma
laria and mosquitoes, alligators and
Incidence. So serious do the first
of these two pests become at certain
seasons that passenger trains cross
ing the State are compelled to keep
doors and windows closed for the
protection of passengers. Yellow
fever constantly turks in the
marshes, poisonous reptiles constant
lly intest the semi-tropical forests
and leprosy is as common as in Jeru-
salem or the Hawaiian Island.
Naturally, in such country, the
inhabitants become enervated, def
cient in physical vigor, mental
strength and moral stamina. They
plant, not expecting to reap, and
build, doubtful if they will enjoy.
They mark time by the mighty
floods or yellow fever outbreaks,
and drift siown the stream of time
like wrcckage on the Father of
Waters, growing more shallow and
shiftless year by year until carried
off by one of the many curses of
that unhappy cline. Fhe fact is
that Louisiana is au unfinished
country, one which the Lord has not
yet fully prepared for human habi-
tatioR. 1t has not yet passed the
carboniferous era. Some centuries
hence, when the lakes have been
transformed into coal beds and the
sediment carried down by the great
rivers which has bull up the un-
healthy lowlands, when the saurian
has given place to the higher types
of animal life and the mosquito and
malaria mi,.robe have been re-
dnced to the minimum, Louisiana
may afford happy homes to a pro
gressive and prosperous people. In
the mean time it were the part of
wisdom for those now there who
moved in before the Lori threw
the country open to settlement
Ito give DER their losing bat
tie with fate and come to Southwest
Texas. paradise that should have
been settled 500 years ago.

1t was when he failed to consult the

A Delicate Compliment.

When General Grant visited Japan he was received with great hospitality, and every honor possible was shown him. The Japanese hardly knew what to make of the somewhat grave and se- rious demeanor of the American, but by an act of graceful consideration he won their admiration and remembrance.
 As he journeyed toward the interior of the country, he came to a deep rs- vine spanned by two bridges. One of these was known as the sacred bridge" and was not open to travel. It had never been crossed but once. It had been formally opened by prince who died shortly after the ceremony. The bridge was called by his name, and was not used afterward.
 Wishing to do honor to General Grant, the authorities commanded that this bridge be thrown open for him to cross upon. His courier was told its history, which he in turn told to General Grant.
 As the party neared the two bridges, the general gave directions that his cor tege should cross over the bridge con- monly ill use, and removing his hat he approached the sacred bridge, bowed to the official in charge, and turning re- joined his companions and crossed over the other bridge.
 This act was received with a murmur of applause. Its delicate consideration was highly appreciated by people with whom courtesy is a fine art.-Youth's Companion.
