Status of the Locks.

Determined to leave no stone un-
turned to secure Locks in Cane
river and make it the garden spot
of the State, we wrote Senator
McEnery at length upon the sub
iect, told him what we had done,
what others were doing, and what
we desired of him and our other
representatives in congress.
AS soon as the mail could make
the round trip, his answer came,
full and to the point, written in his
own hand.
He assures us of his interest in
the scheme and of its Importance
to our people, and promises to do
all in his power for it as soon as
congress is organized, which will
not be until December.
He says that Congressman Brous-
sard secured the survey, of the
Teche for q similar purpose be-
cause the money therefor was put
up by local subscriptions without
cost to the government, and that
unless this is done here q bill will
have to pass congress for an amend
ment to the Rivers and Harbors
billy authorizing the survey and
making appropropriation therefor,
and then make the survey and
work for an appropriation to build
the Locks. This will require a
long time, but we will reach it af-
ter awhile. and we have no doubt of
q favorable result when we do.
But our folks could save a lot of
time, be enjoying the great beno-
fits of the permanent prosperity
it would bring much earlier if they
would only put out o few dollars,
or get the Police Jury to do so,
for the expense SO that the bill for
actual construction of Locks could
be introduced in December.
The Police Jury meets Monday,
see them, and find out what can be
done.

Among other reforms, he main
tanned that the government should
own all public utilities, including
railroads, telegraphs, telephones,
cables, pipelines, water-works,
street railways and oil mills. In
short, he believes the government
should overthrow all monopolies

POpulists ut Work.

The following letter explains it.
self and shows how effectively
Chairman Butler is getting in work
in Congress on the lines of the
Populist platform, and the most
advanced portions Of that platform.
A few Populists tried to make a
fusion with the Republicans on
Presidential electors and failed, as
in Texas, for example, and these
men are traducing Senator Butler,
and urging that be is continuing
the alliance with the Democrats.
But this is not true, as Butler de-
clarcd when he refused the royal
ties on Bryan's book-Sl500 for
campaign funds.
Butler has declared on several
occasions that the alliance ended
with the campaign, and wo would
be foolish indeed to desert our
brilliant, brainy, young leader for
the wild and Kaleidoscope Coxey,
and the Republican fusionists Van
dervoort and Miltonius Park.
