Thompson, being present on part of

the Lake Providence 20 WHY repair
contract in East Carroll parish finished
to his satisfaction, that the Villa Vista
loop in Madison parish was near com
pletion, and that the line generally
with work of this year. was greatly
improved and in reasonably fair condi-
ton for high water.
The caving al Salem, Villa Vista and
Reid continues as expected, but as yet
has not reached such dangerous proxi-
nifty to the levee as to require any
urgent or immediate action on part of
The board.
He advised the board to provide at
once for any high water EXPENSE
which nigh. be necessary this season
and stated that should the flood by
any means exceed that of 1892, the
fight would now be about evenly di-
vided over the whole line instead of rs
heretofore, principally in the upper
end of the district. Should the water
only reach that of 1892, or less, the
principal work would be projected
against wave-wasl, and unforeseen
dnngers, such as crawfish holes, etc,
which only appear during high water.
lie had nothing special TO recommend
now which was not covered by his
report at last meeting. which rated
each point in order of importance.
The board adjourned until o'clock
this morning.

Some of the Benefits of Travel.

A friend who spent couple of weeks
at the Worlds Fair writes us as below
from Detroit. 1t is great pity that the
railroads will not reduce their rates to
such figure that thousnds of our people
may have their views broadened by ira
vel instead of the hundreds who alone
can afford to go abroad under existing
conditions. But, as the Abbeville Meri-
dional says, we believe that every man
and boy who can possibly raise the
money in any way short of stealing. it
should by all means strike out and see
the Fair. Go and get some of the moss
scraped Oft your back, and let the new
ideas expand your brain till your eyes
bulge out" Says our friend:
have had a very pleasant trip, and it
has certainly been an instructive one
enlarging my knowledge of worldly af-
fairs and making me somewhat ac-
quainted with the vast resources OF our
country and the progress, push and en-
ergy of its people. Surely these United
States form a grand country, and its
marvellous strides from the wilderness
TO CIVILIZATION cannot 10 Dettei llIuStldt-
ed than by the lesson of the Fair. The
newly admitted States of the Union fur
nish to their sister States the best exam
piles of the push, energy and progress OF
our people. The home of the red men
short while ago is now smiling with the
larvests cultivated by the hand OF the
restless aud progressive white man.
Surely, when one cOntemp)ates these
mighty changes, when he sees cities like
Chicago arising from its desolation in
twenty years time to the position she
now occupies among the cities OF this
UDion, by reason of her greatness and
wealth; when he views the marvellous
growth of the other cities in the West,
Northwest aud Oh the Pacific Ocean i'll
fact, when he feels that in the not far
distant future this republic will be the
home of three hundred and fifty millions
of people, contented, happy and free, he
realizes that it il a proud boast to say,
" am an Americana"
hope to return better American,
but none the less SOutherner. am
proud of the land that gave me birth,
and am attached to every foot Of its soil ;
and hope ere close my eyes for the !
last time to look upon our section of the !
Union us the greatest and most prosper |
Gus. 1t used to be: Westward the |
Star of Empire takes its way" but it Is
going to be Southwark" now. The |
signs of the times point that way.

The Police Jury.

The police jury has been in session
since Monday. On that and the follow
ing day considerable reductions were
made in the assessments in the first
ward and in the Atchafalaya and Bayou
BGuf Lcvee district, lands adjoining
Opelousas being reduced from $40 per
acre to $15, others a little farther out
being reduced from $15 to $40, and 9th
ers from $40 to Sc. In the levee dis
trict assessments were reduced so per
cent. On Wednesday President Boagni
was depOsed and Mr.. j. B. Bergeron was
elected president in his stead. Mr.. Boa
gni has been the president of that body
for the last five years and has made a
very efficient officer. We understand
that no cause was assigned for his le-
moval. The vote on the question of re-
organization stood as folows:- Aye
Messrs. Latleur, Fontenot, Clopton, Nc
Gee, Bergeron and Butler; blank
Messrs. Courtney, Guidry, Boagni and
DuplG. The new president was elected
by The same vote. 1t was then proposed
that the clerk and treasurer be changed,
it being suggested that competent aud
reliable men were ready to take the
c]erkship for $3.50 per annum and the
treasurership for nOthing-withOut pay.
This proposition was voted down, and
the revision of assessments was pro-
ceeded with.
The jury adjouruedson Thursday at
terunON.

More Work for the Governor

4 correspondent of the Alexandria
Town Talk, writing from Lecsville, hav-
ing gulped down the reason given by the
Clarion for the removal of Messls. Du
PFC and Guidry, thinks that the Cover
nor ought to remove every member OF
the police jury of Vernon except, one,
because they arc third partyites and
voted for Harrison-Weav ciectors.-
Besides that, says be, they did not even
vote for Foster for Governor and are in-
competent to fill the positions to which
he appointed them, Notwithstanding
their complete aud glaring apostacy.-
Here is the letter:
The Town Talk of the Sth inst. con-
tanned an article, headed =" Not Demo
crats,n in which was stated that Gov.
Foster had removed two members of
the Police Jury of St. Landry parish, be-
cause they belonged to the Farmers
Union or Third Party, and etc. Now,
Mr.. Editor if that be the case, and Gov.
Foster considers that sufficient cause,
(Which readily agree to with the Opel,
ousas Clarion). To the victor should
USlODR tUc SpOllc' uCfI WHY inohV al
exception in Vernon? The entire Police
Jury, except one, are Third Partyites
who voted for Harrison Electors and
Tannehill for Governor. Now, if Gov.
Foster wants any evidence of the above
facts he can get all he may desire.
In addition to the above cause, the
present incumbents are incompetent to
fill the position.
If the Governor considers voting for
Harrison Weaver electors Il sufficient
reason for removing his appointees in
St. Landry-and this correspondent says
with the Clarion that it is-he should
certainly not hesitate to act in this case
And we predict that ii these men are in
the way of tue local bosses in Vernon
he will remove them but IF they
stand in" with these local bosses he
will not modest them, even though every
word charged against them be true.
