tion gave the secretary of the treasury no
more authority than he had now. The sec
retary may now pay government obliga-
tions In coin. He held that there was no
disposition on the part OF the administra-
tion to eyade the law. ana added that the
Republican party had maintained that it
ought 10 be the purpose OF the government
TO maintain the gold ard silver money Of
the country at a parity.

say IN terms that the bond obligations OF
the government were payable in silver.

bonds were payable IN coin but that was
not satisfactory 10 Tillman who insisted

WILL THE WORK STANDs

We learn from various sources that
the hre aches in the levees below La
fourche Crossing have been closed.
Owing to the unexpected and rapid
rise of the water, the Ievees have
not been bailt as high ncr as broad
as it was intended originally that
they should be built.
1t is claimed however, that the
rebuilt portions Of the levee are as
strong as the rest Of the levee and
will stand AS much pressure. We
hope this claim will prove correct
and moreover, tina: the weak spots 10
the levee will offer sufficient resistance
to withstand any break, for the pee

and of the Bayou Blue settlement can

again tins year.
The Board should take time by the
forelock this year and get everything
in readiness to have work done on
the levees Of that section as soon az
the water subsidies. They should
not delay the work as long as they
did this year.

The new signaling apparatus Is the
