a CORRECTION.

OPELousAs, Aug. S0th, 1898
Editor Clarlon-in your issue OF the 26th wo
notice the following Item OF neWs
Five bales Of new cotton We're brought 10
Opelousas one day this week AZ d could not be
sold no merchant would make an offer. They
were shipped to New Orleans. We hear the
Farmers will have to hold their produce till
later; maybe about November"
We do not know the author OF the report, but
we are surprised that O newspaper which Is
supposed to protect and promote the interests It 8
Of the town in which it is published should pc
willing to publish q statement calculated TO
materially iDjure the business Of the town, as
well as to deceive the farmers. without taking
the trouble to ascertain from the proper sources
whether or not the statement Is true, and whe'
ther or not such condition OF affairs exists In
Opelousas that its merchants would or could
not buy cotton and r1Ct.
The facts are that the five bales OF cotton al.
luded to we're not offered for sale to either Of
the undersigned, but we're brought to Messrs.
D. Roos & Son for shipment to New Orleans for
account of owners. Messrs. D. Roos Il Son
agreed to ship the same and advanced ono hun
dred dollars, which amount was then over
three-fourths Of the value Of the cotton.
This was not the only cotton bought in Opel,
ousas during that week, and every bale offered
found ready purchasers at full market price.
One of the undersigned firms bought eleven
bales in town during the same week, besides
other cottons bought and shipped from outside
stations.
Owing to the financial crisis, the large quan,
the lack of purchasers Of clean rice, nearly all
the city and country rice mills were shut down.
and 1t has been impossible to sell rough rice in
New Orleans for the past sixty days unless sa-
crldced for less than half Of Its real value.
Feeling reasonably certain that prices OF rice
would materially improve as soon as millers
and dealers In rlces are satisfied that that the
| crop is as short and even shorter than reported
| and also as soon as the general condition of q
nances and trade improves; for these reasons
! we have advised ant urged our rice producers
to hold their riCS at home in order to save them
! useless sacrifice.
That our conclusions we're correct Is shown
by the fact that on Monday lot of rice was
sold In New Orleans at $3.50 per barrel, whilst
| the same rice would not have brought SITS the
/ week previous.
| In concluslon beg to state that the careless
/ statement made has caused impression all
| through the country that the merchants In the
| town of Opelousas could pay no money for pro
duce. We beg to assure them that we are pre-.
pared to pay the market price in cash for all
! produce offered. J, BLOCH.

ABUSE OF THE APPOENT TING
POWER.
Monroe Telegraph. Bulletin.

Monroe Telegraph Bulletin.
The demand for the curtailment OF the ap'
pointive power of the governor and the return
of the grant into the hands of the people Is bas-
ed not only on the inherent democratic right of
the people to elect their own officials but also
on the oft recurring abuse of the power by the
governor.
A case in point comes from the parish of St.
Landry.
After the state election and when Gov. Foster
had been duly installed in Office the people OF
St. Landry petitioned the governor for the ap-
pointment of men of their choice as police
Jurors. Gov. Foster recognized the right and
different wards.
We do not know whether the men appointed
were Foster dem m0crats or McEnery democrats,
but that is neither here nor there. Subsequent
developments prove that the personnel OF the
police jury was not to the governors liking and
he proceeded to reorganize the jury without
rhyme Or reason, removing his original APP
pointees without cause and Notwithstanding
they had been endorsed by the people and We're
rendering acceptable service.
This is what we call fragrant abuse Of the pow.
er by the governor and 1t Ia why the people de-
mapd that the power be taken from the gov
ernor.
Usually police jurors are not appointed be.
cause Of capacity and will to serve the people
well and faithfully but as reward for political
work and with a view by the governor to
siren then his political fences. This seems to
! be the case In Sr. Landry and we are told that
! it Was the same In Rionland-the appointees IN
! the latter parish being without exception set
! OF iliterate men, incapable Of auditing The
workers.
The power should be revoked as much for its
abuse as for Its violation of all the principles Of
! democratic government and home rule

no our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER 10 the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications. tsheriffs sales especial
ly), as a 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.
pecially jealous in the matter Of securing
sherif7s sales for the TAPER of which be ia
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared ia that
paper which the parties Interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, bad
they been consulted; and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation ol
the sheriff or his deputies serving ths papers
In the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire TO in
terfere with their preferences, but our frieuds
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested TO see that the proper
officers are Instructed TO have fhe publication
done in the CouRIEn--and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
,iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

Don't DO It.

Asaggestion has gone out since the
stringency in the money market set in
that certified bank checks will be used
in enabling the farmers to sell their
crops. If they have any business
sense or foresight they will not let
them so on any such device It is a
device OF the banks to be carried out
through the agency Of the commission
merchants. In our humble opinion it
ls nothing more. The prices of pro-
duce, we mean of course our staple
commodities, are now so reduced, (all
except sugar. that the planters can
not pay debts and live by them. The
scarcity of money and its virtual with
dFawal from circulation have been
brought about mainly by the National
Banks. Whilst they are authorized
to place 80 per cent of the bonds they
place in the hands of the Controller OF
the Currency in observation-disclosures is
nothing to compel them TO do 80, aud
thus it is that they are regulating the
quantum of circulating medium the
people are permitted to handle. We
are not going to 60 into this snbject in
this article but do wish to say to the
planters that if they are to be reward
ed with nothing but certified checks
whilst the Banks by permission Of the
| commission merchants are allowed to
keep the circulating medium locked ur
in their vaults until the crops can be
taken up at "a ruinous sacrifice, they
should keep them slowed away until
they can get the money itself for them
1t is certain that when this can he
had the crops will be worth more ,e
them, the planters. 1t does seen thai
no turn ever takes place, which does moi
result in. oppression or discontinue to
the unfortunate planter. Why Is there
no Legislation to protect him4 Al
