The officials of the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington have ~candidly ad-
mitted to Mr.. Carlisle that it is impos-
sible for them to give any satisfactory
explanation of the cause of the present
outflow of gold, and it is stated that
Secretary Foster is now issuing bonds
to the amount of $50, 000, 900 for the
purpose of replenishing the stock of
gold, although he has ~studiously re-
Trained from giving out such a state
ment for publication. Germany and
France are now laying up a big stock
of gold presumably for war purposes
and the news comes that Austria is
anxious also to get about 800, 900, 900
in her Golfers. This is a matter of
great concern to the ~fpanciers on this
side of the Atlantic because this coun-
try is the source of supply. The argu-
ment is advanced, however, that the
rush of travel from Europe t o the
Worlds Fair will bring a flow of gold
into this country, but if there is any
thing in the reports that the great
powers of Europe are piling up all the
yellow metal they al get for use in
the case of war, the amount of gold
which will return to this country dur
ing the Worlds Fair will be trif1ing ;
and it must be remembered that it has
been predicted that Europe will be in
a blaze of war within the next two
years.-N. O. States.

Factories Should be Encouraged.

The advantages of manufacturing
are not always appreciated to their
fullest extent. Factories successfully
managed exert a wide spread influence
that extends to every avOcation, hence
it is to the interest of every man, Wo-
mar and child to aid and ncourag
such institutions. They bring money
from abroad and distribute it through
out their locality; they furnish steady
and remunerative employment to a
large force of operatives they increase
the merchants trade, and it is a desir
able trade, rs it is on a cash or short
time basis. Investors in real estate
would find profitable employment for
surplus capital in building and renting
houses for a good class of tenants con
tractors, carpenters. masons and other
mechanics and laborers are kept more
or less employed the farmer is enabl-
ed to successfully diversity his crops
by raising fruits, vegetables. meats,
etc., for a home market at fair values.
On the whole the establishment of a
factory by men competent to manage
successfully is a blessing to any com
munity, and it is a duty devolving up
on every locality that has available
opportunities and sustaining elements
to put forth its utmost endeavor to
promote factory building and thereby
increase the general prosperity.-Pro-

Delinquent Tax Advertisements

The Court of Appeals, sitting in
Shreveport, has affirmed the decision
of Judge Andrews in the case of H. P.
Breazeale, Editor of the Enterprise, vs..
G. L. Triehel, Sheriff and Tax Collec-
tor of this parish. Hereafter the pub
LEGATION of delinquent taxpayers must
be eIassed as judicial advertisements
and paid for accordinIy that is, at the
rate Of SI.00 per square for the first in
sertlon and 80 cents per square for each
additional time. So far so good. We
applaud the decision, for certainly the
country papers of Louisiana deserve
all they can get. They do a vast
amount of work for the community and
for their candidates without any remu-
neration, and are certainly entitled to
some recognition.
Butjust here an interesting question
arises by virtue of this decision. The
conrt declares hat the publication of
these delinquent tax lists is judicial ad-
certising, and an act of the State ac-
cords to the defendant the right to
designate the journal in which the sale
shall be advertised, ergo, under this
decision it follows that the sheriff must
notify the delinquents of his intention
to advertise their property and request
from them such a designation of a
journal. 1t appears to US that this state
ment cannot be controverted. The de-
PENDANT, under this decision, as in any
judicial sale, can claim the right to d.
rect that the sale of his property be adj
vertised in such a newspaper as he
elects to choose.
1t may be urged that such a proceed
ure is absurd for the reason that there
are usually several hundred delinquents
and it would be we'll nigh impossible
for the sheriff to ascertain the wishes
of so many individuals. Perhaps this
may be true !; but the issue has been
made, and a sheriff cannot lawfully
compel the delinqnents to pay the full
legal rate of advertising because he
may arbitrarily designate a paper to do
it when another journal may be willing
to do 1T for less.
1t is an interesting question both of
law and equity and we shall watch de-
velopments with a great deal more of
curiosity and shall make further COM
ments as the nature of the case may
occasion.-Democratic Review.

How to Secure Immigrants.

The following article from the B. R
Truth is undoubtedly the correct and
most effective plan to secure immi-
grants. Organization is the key to the
situation, and we will never secure
satisfactory results until that plan il
adopted.
The Advocate struck the nail square
ly on the head when it made its sug-
gestion that the most speedy and prac-
teal method of settling immigrants in
our midst would be through the instru-
mentality of capitalized immigrant as
sociations, and we will add, or through
land companies. To invite immigrants
is all very we'll but we shonld know
just what we are going to do with
them when they come. Ii will not
answer to compel them to run arsund
seeking lands to purchase, for the
chances are largely in favor of their
falling into the hands of private specu
lators whose greed might possibly re-
suit in disheartening the strangers and
forcing them To go elsewhere.
To be most successful in this most
desirable undertaking of placing our
vacant and idle land on the market aud
bringing hither ii thrifty immigration
definite plans must be formulated in
advance tor the reception of these PEG
pie and for their speedy settlement.
Land must be ready for occupancy,
maps for inspection and a fixed valua-
ton placed upon property offered for
sale, and these things a only be done.
through capitalized organizations.
While a stream of westerners were
pouring into Hammond, Roseland and
elsewhere in Tangipahoa there was
not one among the number but knew
just where he was going to locate and
to the cen what his new home would
cost, in consequence of which he came
without hesitancy fully equipped with
team and household effects.
So it must be here if we are to sue
coed in inducing immigrants to take up
their abode in this parish. and the
these capitalized corporations
are organized the better for the coun-
try and the sooner will our waste
places be taken up.

Never use a lady's name in an i'm

Money and Men.

Tie world moves, aud with it CAPT
tai moves. At this time the world is
getting Oh its travelling suit to move to
Southwest Louisiana. Capital is com
ing, it is edging its way in, trying to
get il. Il little ahead and be ready when
the people get here. Anyone can see
this, money is easy and has II kind of
free mir about il. Parties IN the North
possessing capital have written to
friends here, asking them to place some
money, for them, where it will bs safe
and bring them a good interest. Why
do these people possessing this capital
select Southwest Louisiana Because
the people from more than twenty
states are gathering here, and land
has a value, This capital will never
be offered to the section of country
where White Caps" are at work and
where there is q general "soured-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT feeling on the
part of the people. No. capital knows
where to go. Ii goes where it is in,
vited, where it is protected, and where
the security offered for it has a genuine
value to it. This is the case in South
west Louisiana and this is why capitaf
is coming with the people.-Lake

1t is reported on apparently good au-
thority that President Harrison gives
as his reason for desiring to appoint a
successor to Justice Lamar, is that he
does not wish to give President-elect
Cleveland an opportunity to appoint
another secessionist to the Supreme
Bench Of the United States. NThe truth
is Mr. Harrison who has been dumped
out of power by the people really
wants to pnt Il Republican partisan in
the seat which 5Astice Lamar formerly
occupied. and he invented the excuse
in order to coax the improperly of
making an ~arl,ointment on the eve Of
his retirementte from office. The New
York Times very justly remarks that
if Mr.. Harrison uttered the seuti-
metpt attributed tn him he insulted the
memcty of Sustice Lamar and also
Mr.. Cleveland, bnt what does the eoun
try care now for what Mr.. Harrison
may say or think. He is a small aud
narrow man whose failure to appre-
ciatr the fact that the war was over
contributed very largely to his defeat.
