The States is pretty severe on
the present legislature. 1t says:
"There are certain members of the
Legislature who pretend to be very
indignant because the States stig-
matlzed the present body as the
most contemplate that Louisiana
has had since the State was redeemed
by the Democracy. The States still
adheres to its statement, but wishes
to repeat what was said in yester-
days edition, that it recognizes and
cheerfally acknowledges the fact
that there are some truly honest and
patriotic men who are members of
the present General Assembly, and
who would, if they could, give the
people ballot reform. Many of
these gentlemen, we are proud to
say, are friends OF the States, but
they are powerless because they are
in the minority. The present Legis-
latnre is contemplate, we again
repeat, and the majority who con-
trolls it has made it so, and right
here we desire to say that the men
who profess indignation at what
they termedsthe sweeping assertion
of the States, wero not the sincere
advocates of ballot reform, the
minority, bnt in almost every in
stance were the heliclmcn Of the
State administration, an administra-
ton which the whole people Of this
State are now convinced does not
want and docs not intend to< have
fair elections if it can prevent
them. =

Since the big strike against the
Pullman Palace Car Company, per-
ishable goods in large cities have
gone up. In Chicago, lemons, which
ordinarily sell from $500 to $500 a
box, are quoted at SO box, while
thousands of boxes are rottening
between New Orleans and Chicago.
Ice, which is ordinarily $500 ton,
has risen to SO a ton, and is scarce
at those figures. Strawberries, mel

have advanced in like fashion.

FACTS.

Our attention was called this week
to several items contained in the
semi annual report of the Board of
Commissioners Of the 9Th Louisiana
Levee District.
The items especially called to our
attention were the divers expenses
connected with the Secretary's office.
We confess that ii was quite sur
prise to us. 1t appears that the
Secretary gets salary of $1,000 a
wear. that the Office of the board is
nominally located at Delta, but
really at Vicksburg, but as the
Secretary lives IN Concordia par
ish, he is allowed compensation
for attending each meeting at Vicks-
burg; it appears further, that he is
furnished with daily newspaper by
the board, also fuel for his Office
wherever he lives. But it is better
to give the items as we find them
put down here and there in the re-
port OF Secretary Shields himself.

S35l.O0 in ten months, or $50 a
month for attending the meetings
and incidental expenses, so that. Mr..
Shields, counting his salary of $3.50
month, has gotten slo5 month
from the levee board.
There is reason in all things
and we, poor Taxpayers, cannot
well afford to pay Mr.. Shields ex-
penses, because be does not choose
to live in Delta or in Vicksburg as
he should.
Another item our attention was
called to was the livery bill of the
Board. We quote from the report
Jan. 4. '94-Henry Dies, hire ofteams
May ayi Il, 9Th &. Mcclure, hire Of % "
teams since Dec, 1893 ............ 294 25
Total $3.50 %
That is from Dec. '93 to May Ia,
'94, 1859. 25 were spent for team hire
by the officials of the board in this
and Madison parish. Apart from
the visit of the President and Secre-
tary, which, if we remember right,
was made by them on horseback, we
do not remember to have seen any
member of our levee board hiring
teams from Mr.. Mcclure. Our
Commissioners use their own teams.
The only ones that we saw were
the engineers, and s359.25 in five
months for livery bill is pretty
good bill. Remember, Mr.. Tax
payer, that when you see fine pair
of horses pulling an engineer and
his assistant that you are paying
dear for it; it costs you only at the
rate of $40 month. Could not
the engineers, who get good salary
from the Levee Board, pay their
own livery bill; if they did, it would
not be SO large. Here is food for
reflection, and matter for action.

DREYFUs' TRIAL FOR TREASON
The Evidence a gainst Him Stolen From
tho German Embassy.

New York, Dec. ga special dispatch
from Paris to the Sun says the court
martial of Capt. Dreyfus for high treason
has assumed the proportions of a grave
political event. The trial involves not
only the fate of portion of the cabinet
but also serious diplomatic consequences
The trial is secret on account of the
German governments protest against the
use of the evidence which was stolen from
the desk of the German embassy The
prosecution hopes to conceal the fact
whether this evidence was presented to
the court. This evidence insists of a
single sheet of note paper unsigned and
undated. Here it is: "Sir-According to
our agreement I send you a. A design Of
the new artillery brake recently expert
mented with at Bourges o. The effects
of the Madagascar expedition corps; 81
The number of troops and full descrip-
ton, now guarding the eastern frontier;
% The manual for artillery practice
Just issued in limited number of proofs. "
The prosecution asserts that there is no
doubt that this note is in Capt. Dreyfus
handwriting. The crisis in the political
situation is accentu3ted by the election
of a radical, NJ. Brisson, to the presidency
of the chamber. The conviction has be-
come general that a series of dramatic
events in French political affairs is close
at hand.
