The Republican party are going te

The Republican party are going to
have rocky road to travel, and are
between the devil and the deep blue
sea. The Washington Post says:
The Republican managers may make
up their minds to lose the West in case
their convention refuses to declare for
free silver. and to lose the East in case
they put up free coinage platform.
The defiance issued by Chairman Car
ter of the Republican National COM
mittee in the Senate. is emphasized by
the others who stand with HIM on free
silver. Here IS split that cannot be
mended. For Eastern Republicans are
as stout in their opposition to free sill
yer as the Western Republicans are in
their demand for it. And the conten-
ton is coming right along.

The season for high water is upon u.s.,
and the indications are that we are to
escape flood, or even an extreme
high water. If a high water should
come, our levees are in better con-
dition than ever before to Withstand
the heavy pressure.
The Times Democrat in an editorial
on the levees and high water, says:
While there has been less said on the
subject than formerly, the levee work
has been more and better done during
the last four years thar ever before,
and each season has seen an improve
ment over the previous one. The con-
dition of the river has allowed excel
lent work, and there has been an
abundance of money from the State
and Federal Governments and the
levee districts. The absence of Gre
vases has prevented the expenditure
of money for repairs and rebuilding
destroyed levees, and has allowed the
revenue to be used for raising and
strengthing our levee system; and it
has further allowed the levees to grow
firm and hard, so that they are able to
withstand flood.
We are better prepared, therefore,
for high water than we ever were, and
it can safely be predicted that there
will be no crevasse sthis year. Should
the river be unusually high, we will be
able to show the country what progress
has been made in our levee sy stem,
and that the problem of protection
from overflow has been practically
solved.

II the Republicans of Louisiana
ever got control of our grand old
State, it would be almost an impossi-
bifty to wrest it from them again.
The people would be trampled upon
until they would have to rise up in
their might and fight for victory as
they once before had to do. Thank
God there is not particle of danger
of them getting control; but it is
we'll for the Democrats to be on the
alert, and give the scalawags such a
drubbing that they will throw up
their hands forever.
