placed in Jail. This young man,
even though he hould be interdicted,

on account. of the crowded condition

One of the first and most impera-

make ample provision for such cases
as above described. We often read
of insane persons lncarcerated in
common jails in this state among

AT an immigration convention re-
Gently held i'll New Orleans, Gov.
Foster in a burst of enthusiasm
tolo his enraptured audience that
the levees were strong and no APP
prehensions should enter the mind
as to any further overfows-that a
repetition of the disastrous floods of
1890 and 1892 would not again oc-
cur.
The Louisiana levees are. as the
governor said, in splendid condi-
ton, but the prophetic part of our
Excellency's speech has been
knocked into bad shape by the
breaking of levee near Arkansas
City on the Mississippi, thus letting
in upon the planters of the rich
swamp lands of East Carroll, Madi-
son, Tensas, and several other
parishes the floods OF the Father Of
Waters. Farmersville Gazette.

In recent paper on the race
question published in the Southwest.
ern Presbyterian the Rev. George T.
Winston says:
II is striking fact that the negro
is far more criminal in the Northern
States, where he has long enjoyed
freedom, than in the Southern States
where his freedom is said to be SO
seriously curtailed.
Rev. Winston further very truly
says:
The South has kindlier personal
feeling towards the negro to-day
than the North ever had, or ever
dreamed of. 1t was Thomas Carlyle
who characterized this feeling by
representing the South as saying to
the negro, "Be a slave, and God
bless ye;;" while the North said, ssBe
free, and God d-n ye.'

THE TENsks BASIN LEVEE.

We publish this week the perth
nent letter at this junction of Hon.
r.. II. Snyder of 1ensas, which ap-
peared few days ago in the Times
Democrat.
The limited line of levee to be
attended to in district composed
of seven parishes with ample funds
at command, would lead every one
to suppose that the entertainments
would be made fully secure, high
and strong enough to withstand all
wear and tear, and water pressure
brought against them; but the re-
verse OF what ought to be is the
present disastrous condition Of
things In the district.
It was naturally expected that the
expensive lesson Of last years over
flow not only of the Tensas Basin,
bat also a large portion of the Fifth
Levee District, wonld be learned to
some practical purpose by the Basin
Board and like recurrence of over
flow prevented; but the condition
this year is really worse than that Of
hast wear. There is evidently a
screw loose somewhere in the man
agement of levee affairs from the
Louisiana MO Amos bayou, and
it is hard to have to endure losses
year after year from the seeming
sapineHess of those in authority over
the icyees in Chicot and Desha coun-
ties, Arkansas, while our levees ex-
tending along line of $50 miles are
held intact aud only four parishes
IN the district to keep the line up
with some outside assistance. As
We have stated there is screw loose
somewhere, and the sooner 1t is
frightened up to stay tight, the better
it will be for the safety and satisfac-
tion of the whole country from the
Arkansas line to the mouth of Red
River. There is no good reason, or
tangible excuse eau possibly be Of
fered for having a short line of ninety
miles of leyee annually inundating a
area of country extending down
nearly 500 miles that protects its
own front securely.
We sincerely hope that with ex-
hausting calamities of this year our
troubles from the Tensas Basin de-
partment will be brought to close
by the building of secure and sub
stantial earthworks before another
high water
Since writing the above the sit
uation has been considerably changed
by the WHY break.

The Baton Rouge Advocate hit
the nail square on the head when it
said:
Under existing laws the assessor
in the country parishes is sort of
anomaly in the body polite. He is
neither fish, flesh, nor fowl. Theor-
etically, he has full authority to
place valuations on all property in
this parish, while practically he has
nothing Of the kind, as his work can
be torn to shreds by the police jury
without the slightest regard to his
opinion. Let the law fix the re-
sponsibility, either upon the assess
or, or upon the police jury and then
the difficulty will be removed.

Last Sunday certain gentleman
who lives in the overfowed district
blew his tin bugle--not Gabriel's
trumpet-and twenty-five head of
cattle came running to him. That
gentleman caught his horse and
drove those cattle to the highlands
where the overflow waters never go.
Query: Did that man commit a
sin?-Mer Rouge Vidette.
No! On the contrary, it would
have been sinful and neglectful both
in him to have left the poor cattle
to perish in the overflow.

The good people of Tensas parish

The good people of Tensas parish
are fully alive to the exigences of
the high water situation. The Ca
zette in Its last issue says:
As will be seen from the proceed
ings of the st. Joseph meeting pub
lished in this issue, all sklffs are
warned at their peril from approach
ing the Ievees at points other than
regular landings, and the levee
guards will fire on person approach
ing the levees IN skifs ut other
points.
This is as it shonld be. Nobody
has any business about the levees in
skiffs in times of high water, and it
is safe to infer that they have some
evil purpose in view when they APP
proach them.
