The Sunny South.

Who would continue to shlYer and
freeze in the bIizzardy SHOWS OF the
North and West if he knew he
would revel IN the summary cline OF
Southwestern Louisiana. Up there,
while they are spending a good part
of their earnings to buy fuel to keep
them from freezing during the long,
dreary, winter months our people
down here are busy at work prepar'
ing the soil for the forthcoming crops
with hearts as light and gay as the
chirping grasshopper in midsummer.
Old winter has but a short lease OF
life in this glorious Southland. Al
ready gladstone spring is herald'ng
her near approach by her blooming
daisies, violets and jonqnils, by the
mating songs of her birds, and by
ha lmy southern breeze waited from
semi-tropic seas. Sweet scented
grasses are s~pringiug up everywhere,
weaving a verdant carpet over
Mother Earth and the generous
southern sun is warming into vital
ity a soil that will soon laugh with
the premise of rich harvests. We
have hundreds Of families from the
North and West who have been en-
pying this climate for years. They
ore prosperous, healehfuI, and con-
| tented. Ask them If they want IL
go back to the land of Billiards and
Snow banks, and, take Dur word fol
it, they would give you very ela,
phatic no.-Crowley Signal.

Republican Extravaganza.

Reeds Congress just adjourned
displayed the true spirit of Republl-
can profigacy in the enormous ex-
penditure of 81 ,043, 437 ,0i8. 10
fact Representative Cannon of Hi.
nois, chairman of the appropriation
committee declares these appropria-
lions To be "far in excess of the
legitimate demands Of the public
ser vice" IF the Mckinley admins.
tration attempts TO carry out its
pledges and give the country a high
protective tariff, it will utterly fail
10 produce the means Of meeting ex-
penditures if they are, as is quite
probable, on the existing high plane.
Verify, the taxeaters are 10 the sad
die and they will sock the rowels
iEto the poor taxpayer Till they ride
him 10 death.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1897-03-20
Reckless Extravaganza.

Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, made
q speech the other day condemniDg
the extravaganza Of the last Repub
licaD congress which spent upwards
of one billion dollars. The figures
he gives are alarming, and show
cause Of The people to pause and re-
feet over the extravaganza Of the
taxeaters. Gen. Wheeler proves
that the Republicans are far greater
sinners in this respect than the Dem
ocrats, and that even when Demo-
Gratis return TO power they return to
the former rules of expenditure. Ia
conclusion Gen. Wheeler makes this
appeal TO his fellow citizens
LET us awaken to the situation
by which we are confronted. We
are expanding to-day in our Federal
State, city and other local govern
ments nearly ten times as much as
was spent in the prosperous period
preceding 1851. We are expend'
ing a greater sum than the entire
value Of the cotton, wheat, corn. GA
and tobacco crops, all put together
We are actually expending-moe
Of which is paid out TO gosernmen'
oficials-a greater sum titan th'
value of the products of the toll 0
all the larBers vi tle United States.

The Mississippi is on a big rise
just now aud phenomenally high
water is anticipated. On the Ar
kansas side the levees have broken
in a number of places and great suf-
feriDg and damage will result. In

The Alexandria Town Talk says
that every day in this parish shows
the need of a change in our State
constitution, so that justices OF the
peace will have final jurisdiction in
minor criminal cases. With such
laws in force, the parish Of Rapides
would save at least $4,000 per an.

is living on ash corn cake while the
governor dimes on snipe on toas;
with wine attachments. What o
difference there is in these times OF

much the Item man is assisting the
collections from the country by ac-
cusing that horrid Millsaps of steal
ing all the corn and fried ham. W.
wonder the Item man did not pu !

The farmers of the swamps are
raising Sea Island cotton and get
ting from 10 to IL cents per pound
for it. This is a new and profitable
departure since they can raise nearly
as much Sea Island cotton per acre
as they can of the short staple. The
black lands of the Mississippi bot
toms are thus utilized TO % better
profit than ever before.

Railroad Coming.

In the Times Democrat Of the 18th
we ind the ~subipined despatch from
Alexandria, which will be of much
interest to many of our citizens. Mr..
Waltz was The chief engineer of the
celebrated Kansas City, Louisiana
and Cult rsilroad which created
considerable Of u furore here and in
Arcadia, in 1888 and 1889. 1t is to
be hoped that the truth is being
stated about The capital having been
secured. No one doubts that the
road is located through q desirable
section and would pay from the

Jos. j. Waltz. Of Atchison, Kan,
arrived in Alexandria to-day IN con.
nection with the preliminary survey
of the Gulf, Louisiana aud Great
Northern Railway. This is pro-
posed to be one of the great cont.
mental lines of the United States
operating Under three companies,
from St. Paul, Mimi. on the Missis-
sippi river, to Vermilion Bay, on the
Gulf of Mexico This road is ex,
pected to pass through Fort Smith,
Ark. 1t il not The intention of the
projectors to construct q new road
all the distance. but to purchase
roads already built Tor many miles
south of St. Paul. 1t is intended,
however, to build an entirely new
road from Fort Smith to the Gulf Of
Mexico. It is predicted hal the
road will be finished and in working
operation within two years. The
line will be operated at first by three
different companies, but consolida-
ton will take place subsequently,.
Alexandria will he the domicile Of
the company operating between
Fort Smith and the Gulf. The nee
essary capital to build the road has
been secured, and construction will
be commenced within three months.
While the exact location of the route
can not be definitely known until 3
final survey has been made. It is
believed that it will pass through
Vermilion, Lafayette, 1t. Landry,
Rapides and Grant parishes. Mr..
Waltz will make Alexsndria his
headquarters. The charter o: the
company will be published ip one Of
