Reflections.

The reign of Yellow Jack is, we trust
to be of short duration. We commise-
rate the sanitary condition of those who
are under his ruthless dominion and
felicitate those VINO 40 far have not
fallen under his power. .
The struggle of our plilanthropists
has>been to shield an armless commu-
nifty from his invasion, and whilst some
have censuled, others have applauded
the sufficiency of their precautions. The
fact that he has not yet appeared
among us, is sufficient proof that their
precautions have not been in vain.
Thanks. p
The addage is time hoEored that, "too
many cooks spoil the broth" Had the
general public to act on such matters,
utter confusion would arise and we
would have a noisy reign of the angels
that constitute Pandemonium. The ac-
ceptable services of our City Fathers
ls about to be supplanted by winter
Fastening apace, with it's clustering
blasts and chilling cold. Yellow Jack
is an offspring Of the Sunny South. 1t
rarely migrates to Northern climes, and
as often as it does, dies young like
things of earth. 1t meets with hospi-
tality here, because we are not suffi-
ciently removed from its native habi-
tat to claim entire exemption from it's
intrusion.
From present indications, it will not
be long before the skeleton trees may
be fringed with winters silvery dra-
perry, and Yellow Jack be driven into
exile.

| Indeed the American people embrace
"a law-blighted nation, and statute
cured States," as St. Clair Kilvay ut
ters it. The people are governed too
much. They are made the bearers of
class enactments. The safety Of this
| republic lies in the simplicity of it's en-
| actmeDts. Yet there exists only a null
tlpllclty OF laws that are but confusion
OF mass of tangled threads. Their
techDIcalities furnish inexhaustiblc
methods to escape their enforcement.
Hence the application of law is fast de-
generating into travesty on Justice
and their Interpretation confusing to
minds stored with acumen of iurispru.
dence. America is governed too much.
Shreveport Times.
Aud the Times might also have ad
ded that while the people of this ma.
ton are being governed too much"
they are also being forced to pay too
much for the privilege of being thus
governed. There are entirely too MANY
ofhc'als drawing good fat salaries from
the producing. element; and the ten
dehcy OF the times is to increase that
number rather than decrease it. We
have nothing to say against the salaries
paid those officials. We believe it lis
economy 10 the long run to pay com
petent and honest men literally in pref
eerence to taking the chances Of getting
incompetent servants in order to
save few dollars in their salaries. But
we do assert that in both our national
and state affairs more officers are en-
ployed than are necessary to ecopomi-
cally administer the affairs of govern
ment, making tia heavy burden on the
general public to meet their salaries

Our poor State has had more than its
share of ills. and for the moral and
physical welfare Of the people the G on
stitutional Convention should be post
poned. The drought and floods have
wrought famine and destruction upon
many, and now that the yellow fever is
upon us, our cup of tribulation is over
flowing: After the frost has checked the
yellow fever, our people will have all
they can do to adjust their financial af-
fairs, for foods. drought and pestilence
have left them in a tangled condition.
Besides these calamities, the assess,
ment rolls have been raised to such an
extent that they will work lardships
upon the people. Now, to make our
trials aud tribulation more terrible, we
are to have a horrible monster thrust
upon us in the shape of an election.
The people of Louisiana will not be in
condition to engage in any snch strug-
gle, and it would be the part of wisdom
to defer it if we wish to avoid further
disasters.-New Iberia Enterprise.

sentiment is that pensions should be
