The farmers and laborers of this
country are not bowling because
they don't produce anything, but
because low prices, high interest,
small volume of circulating medium
and exorbitant transportation rates
takes all the profit out of the bust
ness. Those who ridicule people
that protest against present con-
ditions, can sec the gross earnings of
labor, but refuse to see what is left
after the shylocks take what they
claim. Even if The grievances oil
the laboring masses are exaggerated
it comes into poor grace for the
press that draws its main support
from these classes to side With the
shylocks.

Convention of Tax Assessors.


Mr.. NJ. L. Swords, State Tax As
SCISSOR for the parish Of st. Landry,
has inclosed to the Picayune a call
addressed to the State tax assessors
Of Louisiana. II is as follows:
With the view of equalizing assessments
of the state of Louisiana, / would ask
your cooperation in having q convention
at New Orleans, on the 10th day of Jan
uary, 1884, the day after the Sherlf's con-
Ventlon. That body, being collectors. can
greatly aid us in our labors. Answer at
once.
it is entirely reasonable that the
State tax assessors should desire to
form an organization. This is an
age of class unions, and in a great
many cases they can effect important
and useful results to their own ad>
vantage, and, in an instance like
this; to the benefit of the pubic SER
vice. It is impossible that assess
ments can over be equalized, be.
cause the same sort Of property must
vary in value according to the cir
cumstances in which it is placed.
An acre of land in one situation
may only be worth 81. Another
acre in some other locality may be
worth ST 900. A like rule will
apply to all other taxable property.
1t is manifestly impossible that as
sessments for any description of
property Or any class of tazables
can ever be equalized, but it is pos
sible to arrive at some just and
proper system of apportioning and
proportioning values.
To this end something productive
Of good results may be got cut of a
convention of tax assessors. IKE
sherifs have organized; why should
not the tax assessors?-N. O. Pic

MILWAUKEE,. WIS, Nov. Beth
Thanksgiving has been quite gener-
ally obsesyed here. The stores, for
the most part, closed fer the after
noon at least. All the public offices
were closed and many Of the facto-
ries shut down. The evangelical
churches had arranged union servi-
ces in different sections of the city,
which were very largely attended.
The. churches uniting were the
Methodist, Unitarian, Presbyterian,
Baptist, Congregational and Jewish.
This gave rise to the rather unusual
condition of q Jewish rabbi preach
ing the Thanksgiving sermon in a
Methodist church, while a Methodist
minister spoke in a Jewish temple.
The Lutheran, Catholic and the
Episcopal churches held services in
their own churches.

in the creation Of the Fair itself, and
in the presentation of the gorgeous

New District Judge
Associate Justice Parlange, OF the
Supreme Court, will be the successor
of Judge Billings. That is, Of course,
if the President is guided by the

the Federal appointments which he
has made in this state, Mr.. Cleve-
followed the Endorsements of
the delegation there does not seem
any likelihood that he will disregard
their desires at this time. Both
senator's announced yesterday that
they had agreed to support Mr.. Par

of that gentleman be made. AS

resident Of the Eastern district of
Louisiana, and as everybody here
knows he has had large experience
in Federal court affairs. During
the first administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land Mr.. Parlange was appointed
United States district attorney, a
position which he filled with great
efficiency and ability for four years.
Thereafter Mr.. Parlange entered the
