THE COST OF LEVEES
Iour Home Journal

Our Home journal.
Few persons consider the enor-
nous costs of building ami main
tanning lcvees. The parish of
Iberville pays in taxes yearly over
fifty thousand dollars to the Levee
Boards. 1t is estimated that in
materials, labor and money one
hundred thousand dollars, addi-
tional, were expended by the PEG
pie Of this parish to maintain the
levees during the last food. This
is not all, we will have to pay our
share of SS,O0O,OOO of the bonds
issued and placed on the market
by the Levee Board. Will it stop
at these figures?
Now, it is passing strange that
a concern like this Levee Board
to which the police power of the
State, and the power Of taxation
oh! pardon, we meant the
power of levying contributions -
have been contidcd, should not
have one single bonded officer
More than this, there are nC
checks, and the Board is accoun.
table to nobody. For the person
mel of the Board, as at present
constituted, we have great res
pect. The members are patriotic
and good men, but who are to b,
their successors? Great Panama
If it is true that hunger grows Oh
what it feeds, what growth there
may be here !! |
There were never Legislative
enactments, by any people on the
face of the earth, from Moses
down to Ben. Harrison, which af
forded such opportunities fol
REGULATION, fraud and down right
stealing as the acts organizing
these Levee Boards.

Politics in the Appointment.

Reports that Judge Gresham is
to be given the highest position
in nj. CleveIand's cabinet has not
been denied. 1t is now accepted
ms a fact that he will be the next
Secretary of State, and the matter
is the absorbing topic Of CONVEX
sation at Washington, and all the
leading papers of the country are
full of the matter. The Southern
papers, So far as We have been
able to see, however, are not
pleased with the action of the
President elect, while those of
the North seem disposed to think
that the nomination of Judge
Gresham was a master stroke OF
policy on the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and even Senator German
has astonishcd the old line Demo-
Gratis of the South and West by II
statement to the OBJECT that no
better man than Judge Gresham
could have been selected for Sc
cretary eff State and that this ap-
pointment would be sure to give
satisfaction to the country.
. Sepator Germans hearty indor-
semen of the appointment affords
ample ground for the belief that
there is more politics than sentl-
ment in the action of the Presl-
dent-elect. Judge Gresham Is
wonderfully popular in the West,
and there are many politicians
who express the opinion that the
appointment of the well-known
jurist will delight the Populists in
the States of Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin, and finally cause them to
come over to the Demscratic party
and wipe cat of existence the or
ganizaton e the Republicans. All
of this maybe true, but neverthe-
less. the fact remains that the ele.
walton Of "A Republican mugwumI
to the highest place in the cabinet
has caused much dissatisfaction

THE CHOLERA.

There are may OmlnOuS clrcum-
stances about the cholera Just
now; and the Chicago Exposition
people do will to impress this
upon the government and urge
the Importance of extraordinary
quarantine precautions.
We have already called atten-
ton to the official announcement
of the cholera in Marseilles, SO
that we are threatened from both
North and South Europe. From
Marseilles the disease is only too
likely to follow the course it has
always pursued in the past, and
spread to all the neighboring towns
of the Mediterranean, and although
it is announced as having been
stamped out in Hamburg, the dan
ger is by no means over there.
On the contrary, the best judges
express the opinion that it will be
greater the coming spring and
summer than it was last year.
The obstinacy of the disease in
Hamburg, its frequent reappear-
ance when it is supposed to have
been crushed out, the spread of
the malady to So many places pre-
sage, thinks DIR, Kempster, the
American health official who is
studying the situation in Northern
Germany, its general outbreak this
summer; and he predicts that it
will not be restricted, as it has
been, to Hamburg and a few other
towns, but widely distributed, as
in Russia.
Looking at past experience, we
have every reason to believe DIR.
Kempsters predictions. 1t has
generally been on the second year
of its prevalence in Europe that
the cholera has crossed the Allan
tic to America, The second year,
therefore, is the time of greatest
danger, and is the one we must
watch most carefully. We should
moreover, take extraordinary pre-
cautions this winter, because of
the exposition, which would be
an outbreak of cholera even IL
mild one. 1T has been demon
strated that with the advance made
in sanitary science, and particular
ly in quarantine methods, we can
keep the cholera out. 1t will be
our own fault it we do not. Times

CRUSHIT OUT.

Lawlessness seems to be on the
increase in our State, crimes and
O1trages in some sections are be-
ing committed with IMMUNITY, and
the laws are trampled upon and
ignored. Such a condition Of af-
fairs is very unfortunate. We
are now trying to attract the at
tention of home seekes-we have
been advertising to the world that
III Louisiana the garden spot of
the worlds a most delightful
place to live.
We have been talking andwrit-
ing of our healthful climate, our
productive soil and the numerous
other advantages. But now since
a few cowardly midnight sssas-
sins, commonly called white caps,
have appeared within the buunda-
AIRY of our State, we should discon-
tinue inviting any one to visit our
section or to come and live among
us. Let us first get to work and
hound down all white caps and
Danish every vestige Of white cap
ism and everything connected with
it.
The outrages of the white caps,
or midnight murderers, call them
what you may, in certain parishes
of the State, are every day occur
RANGES, and If such lawlessuess is
allowed to go unchecked, there is
no telling just where it will stop.
The longer it is overlooked by the
officials, the more difficult will it
be to stamp it out.
We have great confdenrein our
brilliant and fearless young Gov
crnor, and we trust he will make
some efforts to rid the State of
these cowardly murderers. He
has the whole power of the State
to back him for the purpose OF
indicating the law, and be should
unhesitatingly use this power To
crush everything that smacks OF
white capism. -lberville South.

Wholesale GFocers' Association Decides
to Obey tho New Law.
A special meeting of the Western WASH
ington Wholesale Grocers' Association
was held at the rooms of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Exchange yesterday
afternoon to consider the new cigarette
law, or what will become law early in
June.
This association embraces all the gro
Gerry jobbing houses of Seattle and Tacoma,
and there was a full attendance at the
meeting. all the officers being present. viz !:
c. E. Hale, Tacoma, president: C. L.
Webb, Seattle, vice president; J. S. Gold
smith, Seattle. secretary, and o. F. Co.'S
per, Tacoma, treasurer.
There was but one sentiment in regard
to the cigarette law. Nearly all the job
bers have had standing orders with the
American Tobacco Company for a regular
monthly supply. These orders, by agree
ment, all countermanded, and after the
jobbers sell what they have on hand they
will order no more. After the law goes
into effect the jobbers will try to have it
enforced, as, without exception. they
think it is a good one. They anticipate
that the law will virtually put an end to q
business that has done more harm to the
boys of the country than anything else of
like or similar nature.
