PLAIN TALK.-We might as we'll
stop talking about securing immi-
grafton to Louisiana until something
is done to check the murderous spirit
abroad in the city and parishes. It
is q shameful and undeniable fact
that human life is becoming less and
less secure and murderers are becom-
ing more and more bold and defiant
every day among us. Let any one
read the dreadful record of crimes
committed in this State in the last
few months and then ponder on the
failure of justice in almost every in
stance, and he will no longer be sur
prised at the reluctance evinced by
people 10 other sections to put their
lives and property in jeopardy by
coming to Louisiana.
Something must be done to remedy
the evil and to bring red-handed
murderers to justice or the State will
become a byword and reproach
throughout the world. Criminal JUS
tice in New Orleans is at once farce
and mockery, and in most of the
parishes it is no better, but it is idle
to expect a change for the better as
long as the people are silent and IN
complaining.--N. 0. Times Democrat.

FIJI FIFTH II! EDITION EDITION,


Now that the .Juns drob' lie over and
all the usual periods OF damage to the
crop passed, o reasonable estimate OF the
peach crop OF Kent County, Nd, may be
made. A careful estimate Of all Of the
representative orchards give some inter
esting figures. II goes Without saying
that tho crop IL far short of that of 1892,
even after deducting the large number Of
trees which have bean taken out since
that time. A canvass of the crop divides
II as follows: 10 the vicinity OF STU
Pond. "A. COO baskets; Gu aker Mech, 20. $50
baskets; Chestertown, 22,525 BASKETS.
Worton lie put at 20 800 baskets. Lynch's
crop is estimated at ~. 575 baskets. Hep.
bronze Is placed at 500 baskets. Nlchoi.
sons 10 accredited with 20, 500 baskets. and
KennedyvlIle 10 $50. Along the Sassstra3
river fully 1900 baskets. Eastern Neck
leland Is allowed 5000 baskets. In the
vicinity OF Colchester the estimate 10 for
10 900 baskets. 0rey's Inn Is estimated ut
crop OF Kont county will be In round num-
bers 2l5 45O baskets which. at the mUder-
ate Estimate OF % cents per basket. should
bring Into the pockets OF tho Kent coun.
~ growers the handsome total OF s5S. Soa.-
Then allowing 10000 baskets In which
the 2l5,420 packages OF fruit are to be
handled. and placing the averaae price
per basket at four cents. $4,000 further
Will be put In circulation independent OF
wages to hands.
THE DELAWARE CROP.
The crop In Delaware this year is at
least three fuurths of full one. The
shortage caused by tho number OF trees
which have been pulled since 1890, the
number icing over 5000 900.
The bulk OF the peaches are In the vi.
entity Of Georgetown. Milford. Farming
ton. BridRevlle and FELTON,. The drop
this year took place In May. and was very
heavy.
Agent Mills OF the Delaware Railroad
thinks there is no doubt but what the
crop will be moro than tho estimate. as
the trees not being so full. will produce
larger and finer fruit, and the crop being
comparatively email. the markets will not
be overstccked. II this Is the case, tho
fruit will all be shipped and not part Of It
left on the tress to rot, as Is generally the
case the Jatter part OF tho season. when
the markets become glutted. The dc.
tailed estimate is as follows:
Ralroads and Baskets: Delaware r. R.
l,236 723 Delaware md Chesapeake, 847. SIS
Queen Anne and Kent II. IL. 400 OPS; Della,
ware Maryland and Virginia II. r., 76i, 030
Cambridge and Seatord X. r., 1906 1856;
Baltimore and Delaware Bay II T. zoo. 00U;
Baltimore and Eastersn Shore Il. Il. aud
N Y. p. 4 N II. r, 90, 900; total 3,404, 52l
This amout to the m oderate estimate OF
81 cents per basket should bring into the
pocket OF Delaware growers tho total OF
$3.50 l20.25. OF course about one half this
amount will be spent for baskets. freight
and help but even then the profits will be
handsome.
