For Concealine; Wheat.

Jacob Price, Jacob Herschmann and
Philip Abrahamson, all Jewish farmers
in Redwood County, were lodged in our
jail last week upon the charge of con-
cealing wheat which was mortgaged to
CIV. Van Dusen s. Co. The sheriff
seized the wheat while they were holding
a Jewish service and afterwards arrested
the parties themselves. In default of
bail they were taken te the. Jail in this
county and kept here until it was forth
coming which happened on Monday.
They were then released and will be Civ
en- a hearing next Monday.
The Pioneer Press of Monday gave a
list OF the counties of the. state with their
aortionate percentages Of mort
indeb ebtedness. With one exception,
IN county is rated lowest. A pretty
good showing.

The Weather.

we are having too much rain in
same localities, whilst in others the
rice crops are greatly injured for want
OF 1T. Cotton must suffer. Corn il
matured, and the cane crop is laid by
to grow until about the middle or last
of October.
The stringency of the money mar
ket is having its effects, even here
where the farmers have never had
much to handle since 1867. 1t is for
tnnate for them that the yield of the
corn crop will be sufficient to supply
them with bread, and to nourish their
animals. Take one year with another
and it will be found wise in the plant
ers to give special attention TO the
bread crops. The profits of any other
do not always if generally p fall to
them. They work hard, risk capital,
labor and health, and get no profits,
whilst those who handle them after
the crops are gathered and placed on
the market often amass wealth. If the
producers could realize some gains, be-
yond ta6e most stinted necessities, the
resultsANould be more encouraging.
The farmers constitute large por-
tion Of the population of every country
Compared with tho number of com
mission merchants, they are possibly
hundred to one. Yet! do we find
the latter generally making large for
tunes, whilst living high, in fact in
very many instances, like princes, and
farmers enduring life of hard toll,
severe economy and very scanty com
forts-in absolute poverty. Three
fourths of prudent commission mer-
chants amass wealth, otter enjoying all
the luxuries and pleasures of elegant
life, whilst nine tenths at least of those
engaged in planting die poor. In short
they toll and practice self denial, that
those who handle their crops may lead
lives of pleasure and become rich.
We have no words of censure for
them, for every one has the right tn
take advantage of his opportunities,
but we do say results show that in
some way the planter is unjustly dealt
with. .
If we were able to take up all the
av0cations of men and to analyze the
machinery of our government, we
might possibly show how the planters
are feeced. We might explain why
40 many salaried officers are to be paid,
when ii greatly smaller number might
suffice. We might explain why GER
tain special laws have been enacted,
not one of which favors the planters
and to which they mnst conform. 1t
seems evident to us that if legislation,
combinations and every human enter
prise, were directed to the protection
of producers, plenty and comfort would
smile on all classes and there wonld be
fewer millionaires.

A Few Plain Words.

Some of citizens have a aneer ;aaa
OF equity. For instance, the COURIER
has never been called upon in vain to
advocate or defend any measure that
would benefit the community IA a
whole, and incidentally some of its
leading members. This to us has AL
ways cost more or less time, labor and
money, and sometimes the enmitv of
few whose personal interests clashed
with the interests of the public. Under
the circumstances it would lie natural
to suppose that q newspaper that had
stood by the interests of its people
through thick and thin for more than
forty years would be entitled, if not to
the gratitude, at least to the support
of those who have been benefited
either directly or indirectly through
their local paper. 1t is only necessary
to refer to our advertising columns to
show that such is not the case. But
this is not all We could name
many who do not advertise-an sew
erai who do not even subscribe to the
paper, and who never even contribute
their mite in job printing, but either
oSno VhCit "Olh w Il bOD OllCe lildb
does nothing for community, or worse
still, sends it off to some distant city
where the money paid for such work
will never get back to Opelousas
There are very few country news
papers in Louisiana which do not rely
to some extent upon their local job
printing patronage to help "make both
ends meet;' and tile paper that is de-
MED fair advertising patronage, and
stinted in its job printing, certainly
cannot be expected TO make much pro
gress towards improvement. 1t is d
short sighted policy to deny your local
paper any patronage which it is in your
power to give; for by so doing, yon
only cripple your local press aud
thereby retard and neutralize its
efforts to build up the general inter
ests of the community in which it is
published
Where an Office is not properly
equipped for doing the work, there is
some slight excuse for sending your job
printing elsewhere but where the ia
cilities are superior and prices reason
able, it is simply short-sighted, sui
cidal policy to do so.

TO OUR Friends amd Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
Judicial publications, tsherif7s sales especial
lyl, as q neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to Us. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
peciaily Jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper Of which he is
director aud stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted; and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer tn patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire To in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor US with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-aud they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.
