A Retrospective Glance Co
vering a Decade in South
west Louisiana.

James H. Dean, of Des Moines,
Iowa, is here again after a lapse
of IL years, having made his first
to Jennings and southwest Louis
lana three years previous to that
time. He owns 1000 acres of first
class land on Mamou prairie north
Riverside and it will be watered
by the newly projected irrigating
plant.
Great changes have been brought
here in those IL years by the hand
of progress. Eleven years ago
Jennings had an ambitious popu-
lation of 800 souls; to-day her peo-
pie number over 1000. Eleven
years ago the rice industry of
southwest Louisiana was in its
very infancy; to-day the product
is 100000 sacks. more than the
rice product of all the rest of the
United States. Eleven years ago
the Northern immigration had Oh
ly fairly begun to reach southwest
Louisiana; to-day 10000 sturdy,
enterprising people from north OF
the old Mason and Dixon line are
assisting nightly in the develop
ment of the wonderful "new
South" Eleven years ago south
west Louisiana shipped 100000
pounds of rough rice to market,
and none OF it was cleaned; to-day
she ships l2O,OOO,OOO pounds of
rough and 100000 pounds Of
clean rice to market. Then we
were growing providence and up
land rice and looking for a cash
job; to-day we are too busy grow
ing irrigated rice and caring for
the money to stop and answer
questions. In 1889, 500 Irvine
binders were in use in this new
rice district; now the number is
1000. In 1889 1000 car loads of
rice, all rough, was shipped away;
now more than 10000 car loads of
rough and cleaned rice 60 out an
nually. Then neither canals or
wells were used for flooding rice;
now there are 100 canals, aversg-
ing five miles each, capable of
flooding 1000 acres for each mile;
and $50 deep wells, from four to
ten each, average depth $50 feet,
water rising to or near the surface,
will food an average of 100 acres
each, thus providing for small far
mers and freeholders, the very
best settlers for any country.
Eleven years ago good prairie
lands of best quality were offered
at 81 to 50 per acre, with few Ia
kers, to-day the same lands sell
readily at $40 to $40. Then rice
was very uncertain crop; now it
is nearly an absolute certainty.
Then stock raising was left to ma

Congressman Linney's Fool
ish Bill.
States.

Representative Linney of North
Carolina, who proposes to intro
duce in Congress bill pensioning
former Confederates, is not repre-
senting the South and the brave
men who followed the stars and
bars for four years. 1t is quite
safe to say that the people in this
part of the country will not sp-
prove Mr.. Linney's foolish bill
and it will not secure many votes
among the Southern Democrats in
the House for the reason that the
old Confederate soldiers are too
proud to ask or receive a pension
| from the national government.
They are content to have their in
firm and destitute comrades cared
for by their respective States. 1t
is true that in his speech in New
York few days ago, President
Mckinley said: 1.-The followers
of Lee and Grant have fought I'M
der the same flag. Party lines
have been loosened and the ties of
union have been rooted in the
hearts of the American people"
Commenting on the Presidents
utterance, which was nothing more
than a bait for votes, the esteem
ed Charleston News and Conrier
says: IF this be 80, we ask why
not pension all the Confederates
Why discriminate against them in
the division of the swag collected
from them in common with other
Americans? Let Congressman
Linney push his bill to a vote, by
all means, if only to show how
very deeply the ties of union are
rooted in the hearts of the Ameri.
can people," This is a clever BIZ
of sarcasm which will hardly be
relished by the getleman from
North Carolina. If Mr.. Linney
is an intelligent man he must
know that if he makes any serious
attempt to pass his bill to pension
former Confederate soldiers 6
howl of indignation will go up in
the North and that noble band thu

Have No Right to be on thu
Ticket.

Since the boiling of q faction OF
the Democrats of st. Martin pa
IRISH, the Messenger has investi-
gated the matter, and has reached
the conclusion that the boilers
have no right on the ticket. They
are a component part of the De-
mocratic party, by the simple fact
that they have taken part in a pri-
mary ordered by themselves when
they had control of the Parish
Committee machine, and we're de-
feated. Their claim of fraud and
irrigularity, which, if it ever ex-
listed, was by their own sanction,
as the election was held under
their direct control; but even if
their claims and protests were
founded on apparent grounds, the
Democratic authorities of the
state have heard the case of the
contestants, have heard the evil
dsnce, and have decided against
the boilers, and have recognize
the Liable faction as duly elected
and proclaimed them the regular
Democracy of st. Martin parish.
In view of these facts, the boil
ters have no right to demand a
place on the ticket, and they
should not be granted this privi-
lege, because they are not entitled
to it.
If they had organized a faction
of their own, without having ia
ken part in the Democratic prims-
ries, they could go to the Secreta-
~ of State with one hundred sig
nature. and legally demand the
right of being placed on the off,
cial ballot, but as Democratic boil
ters they have no such right, and
the very law that is in force this
day. was passed expressly for such
boiling cases.
The Secretary of State has no
legal right to place any boiling
faction upon the official ballot;

of candidates who have never par

NO TROOPS FOR TAYLOR.

The President has wisely declined TO
interfere in the Kentucky quarrel. In
1876, Gen. Grant SO far forgot himself
as to undertake TO uphold with bayo-
nets the carpet bag governments that
were attempting to fix themselves on
the South. The experiment was dis
astrous and a disgrace to SO wise an
administration as his in many ways
