AS ~ matter Of fact everybody
who knows enough to come in out
of the rain, if he will but stop tor a
moment and think will see very
clearly that the foreigner does not
pay the tax levied upon goods of
foreign manufacture, because the
home consumer is the man who ulti-
n'ate'y buys the goods, hence lie is
the IMAM upon whom The tax must
fall. Protection is a very nice and

Bayou Sara'S Position.

The city Of Grecnville is an island,
cut oft from thessoutside world, and
only accessible by boats. Before
the flood they received eight mails
daily, DOW they content themselves
with three week. Bayou Sara is
more fortunate, and is now O. .peuir-
sula, being surrounded by water,
with the exception of the raised
street that connects her with tho
twin village of st. FrancsvilIe. The
levees are not included in the gen
eraI Ievee system, and the town re.
cciving no State or Federal aid, is
making the great fight alone, with
out outside aid.
The levces are in good condition
and are constantly watched and
strengthened. If no unforeseen
storm or accident occurs, the people
have every reason to hope that they
will win the fight. Earnest prayers
are offered for their success, and
TIE TRUE DEMOCRAT voices the

While on this subject reference
may be made to faint demurrals
made by some, against a Sunday

pies. Far he it from us to cast a
Slur upon the workings of amy ones
conscience on matters ofmorals and
religion, and for ourselves, we
should be glad to see IL more riy;d
observance Of Sunday not only AS a
day ct religious worship but as a
day of rest; ut the same time, we
cannot see adequate cause, on
either ground, to Object to Il Sun
day mail. The religious problem
.of the day is how to adjust the
requirements of the civilization of
the nineteenth century with the
obligations of the lOurtI, command
ment. The Sabhatic Law as orisi

punishable with death to pick up
sticks on the Sabbath day, and
IL sin to take a journey beyond a

d'tions, how many Christians OF

who shocked the Scribes and phar.

the law. Man was not made for

Major Haired, says the Times.
Democrat, will be glad to have the
outlet theorists come before the
River Commission and make some
specific proposal or suggestion.
Very good. But why Siloul,, not
the engineers themselves, who are
supposed to be educated for the
purpose OF graphing with such
problems, seeing that something is,
MAST be wrong, or lacking, III the
present alI.levee system, set them.
selves to work to find a solution OF
the river problem? That is their
ra'son d'etre in the opinion of other
people. And if they are to be mere
iourneymen, only fit to do a piece of
work after somebody else has
evolved the. plan and calculated the
details, then is their education and
pretense vain indeed
But, again: What more practi-
cal suggestion is wanted than to
open the natural outlets, like Bayou
Manchac and PIaquemine and the
network Of smaller bayous that ma
tnre has provided to relieve it's
flood : Or, did not the engineers
themselves once favor canal from
Fort st. Philip to Breton Bay?

secure a Sunday mail service for
this place, the Pic. Co"pcc Banner
goes on to say that it we arc sue.
ccSsEll that the postmaster ~ New
Rhodes will take the necessary
steps to lave the mail come down
from Bayou Sara on the CIpon Mon
day mornings, as this will give citi-
Zens in lower pointe Coupee the
mail nine hours earlier than at
present.
The fact, that, in this way, an
even larger territory than was at
first indicated will derive benefit
from the proposed service, will be
an additional argument TO the pos
tai authorities to grant the peti-
ton. TIE TRUE DEMOCRAT there
fore suggests to tie good people of

up y mammoth petition, supple
mentlng the one from here, and

secure for the matter, Il favorable
