THE RICE SITUATION.

The immense strides made IN
Southwest Louisiana and in Texas
in securing water supplies and in
getting new lands into rice culture
are something wonderful to those
of us unfamiliar with or unused to
this rapid pace. The marketing of
over three million bags of rough
rice this last season without break
ing the market, indicates degree
of skill in the management of the
rice industry beyond anything we
had expected.
The crop of 1902 is now the cen
ter of attention in rice circles and a
little while ago we were wondering
If we could market four million
bags this season and hold up the
prices as successfully rs was done
with the three and half million
bags this last season We now
find several causes that indicate
that prices of rice will be good
again, during the coming season,
and that the fears of inability on
our part to successfully distribute
the coming rice crop will be dis
PEELED by the actual results. The
Crowley Signal estimates the com
ing crop as probably no larger than
the last. We are now short some
IL or Is inches of rainfall for the
current year as compared with the
same date last year, and while the
cane crop and in fact all our crops
have felt this deficiency severely,
the rice crop is the one suffering
the most severely. We are in
clined to think the Signals esti-
mate is correat; that the rice crop
of 1902 will be no larger than that
of 1901, and that the same skill
displayed in marketing the crop Of
1901, If availed of this season,
will insure satisfactory prices.
There will be no surplus of rice and
the crop shonld be held for good
prices. -Erchange.

A New York dispatch says a
strange creature caught off the
shore of Bermuda early in June,
has arrived there on the steamship
Trinidad and has been placed in
the aquarium in Battery park. 1t
is over six feet long, formed like
a snake, but with a head like that
of a turtle and fins like a fish.
Long bill for mouth gives most
terrifying appearance which is
rendered more horrible by pair
of glarng eyes on the top of its
head. Its body is brownish
green in color and Running around
it's middle are several bright yellow
stripes. The biologist who shipped
the serpent here was unable to
name it and the men in charge of
the aquarium are equally ignorant
of its nature. The people who be
believe that hell is located in the
interior of the earth are now as
sured of the fact, as they claim that
this horrible creature had run too
far afield in the domain of Me-
phisto, was caught in the upheav-
ing vortex and vomited ont on the
surface of terrified world.

The New York World received
the following message from Wash
ington
"a facetious guide who delivers
the lecture for one Of the many
enterprises that make money by
taking. parties Of tourists around
Washington was referring to the
white house like this: "There
ladies and gentlemen is the White
House, which was bnilt by Thomas
jefferson. 1t was formerly called
the Executive Mansion, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt insisted that the
right name was white honse, and it
has been called so since, except
recently, when it gained the name
Of the Booker Washington Cafe. +"
President Roosevelt heard of
this. He sent word to the pro-
prietor of the enterprise that the
Booker Washington reference was
highly distasteful to him and he
desired it cut ont. Nevertheless,
the assertion contained more. truth
than fiction. As distastefnl as it
might now seem to the modern
Caesar, he should not have com
planned because the man told the
| truth.

BE JUST TO ALL.

The foundation of all good order
in government is simple justice,
treating all alike, aud, while OPP
pressing none giving no special
privileges to any. The rich man
aud the poor, whatever the financial
or social gulf which may separate
them, should be equal before the
law, and the stern hand Of even
justice should be laid upon every
violator of law, as protection
should be granted to all who walk
in obedience to the law. Contempt
for law once becoming prevalent,
all order is at an end, and crime
will run rampant until mob law be-
comes the resort Of long. suffering
society, and scenes disgraceful to
civilization must ensure. Kindly,

The Situation in Washington.

The advices from Washington
point strongly to the complete fail
ure of any legislation during this
session Of Congress concerning re-
with Cuba. The efforts of
the beet sugar producers aud the
Louisiana cane sugar producers,
which have been so ably put forth
during the past few months, have
apparently achieved their object,
and all danger of adverse legisla-
ton in the Cuban matter has ap-
parently been eliminated. We may,
OF course, expect another fight
along these same lines at the next
session of Congress, but still our
sugar producers can not but feel
encouraged at the success they have
so far met with.

RICE BELT RAPIDLY DEVELOPING

A large number of Northern and
Western farmers and land hunters
are now tlocklng into the rice belt
People do not fully realize what II
great boom the rice belt Is now
having. It will soon be the most
thickly populated section of the
South. All Of the prairie land not
now devoted to the culture of rice
is rapidly being divided into l6o-
acre farms. There is more money
in raising rice than in raising corn
or wheat ont West and the work is
easier. The inviting feature IN
the rice growing business is that It
is sure crop. Irrigation lnsures
q crop every year with scarcely the
element of doubt entering the
proposition.
Another great source OF wealth
to this section of the country Is
the valuable minerals that under
lie the SOIL In the rice belt it
has been proved that the oil de-
post is superior to that of Beau
mont.
The sugar planters and rice mill
owners are now fully alive to the
importance of oil as fuel and those
who have not already installed the
necessary machinery to burn oil
are doing so as rapidly as possible.
It is no trouble to place contracts
for fuel oil as the planters aud rice
mill people are asking for them
right along.
Another important mineral that
will soon be counted among Louisi-
ana's most valuable assets is sui
phur. The sulphur deposits OF
Southwest Louisiana are known to
be more extensive than those Of
famed Sicily and yet the confines
of the immense deposits are not
known.
A pessimist of the most pro
nounced type could not be able to
say anything worse than that
Louisiana has q future before it
equal to the most brilliant attain
ments of any other state in the
Union.
The class of people that arc set
tling in the rice belt is of the best
citizenship that the United States
produces. The farmers that are
ilocking in to build up this portion
of the state are home-makers.
They come to stoy and raise their
families here. They will be large
consumers of all the best merchan
disc that is known. They will,
besides creating immense wealth,
also consume immense amounts OF
product, the sale of which will
make other people rich.-Atber'lle

THE BEEF TRUST AND THE CRIMINAL
LAW

umphantly delivered itself of what
itsousiders to he complete answer
to the question asked by Mr.. vii
liam Jennings Bryan aud many
democratic newspapers and lndlvld-
uaIs rs to why he president has
proceeded against the beef trust
civilly aud has failed to institute
criminal proceedings, as provided
for in the Sherman antitrust act.
Says the Tribune:
"Mr Bryan can not have forgot
ten SO much law rs to be unaware
of the fact that it takes stronger
evidence to induce a Jury to send a
man to the penltentlary than 1t does
to return verdict against him in a
civil ease The law officers of the
government presumably V are conf
dent Of success in their civil suit,
but are not confident of success IN
a criminal action. Others besides
Mr.. BRYAN have asked why the
packers have not been proceeded
against crininallv 1t was natural
that they should ask the question,
for they do not understand SO well
as Mr.. Bryan does-or ought to
the probable reasons why the gov
ernment has confined itself thus far
to the suit commenced III Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan can easily answer his
own question. =
Now, the Tribune is right theo-
retically There is in law a differ
enee in the extent of proof required
in a criminal case and in a civil
case. In the criminal case proof
must be beyond reasonable doubt;
in the civil ease a preponderance OF
evidence is sufficient. That is the
theory. But practically, although
in many criminal cases, particular
" in murder eases, the utility OF
the principle is apparent, in case
like that against the beef trust there
is little likelihood of the evidence
taking such shape as to leave room
for drawing this fine legal distinc-
ton. If in q criminal case the gov
ernment should offer the evidence
which in the civil case it believes
constitutes preponderance of evil
dence, it is very likely that it would
be found by the jury to go beyond
that and remove from their minds
any reasonable doubt of the guilt
of the accused.
Why did the government aban-
don the case against the beef trust
at New Orleans at the very point
where the Judge ordered the pro
duction of the books Of the beef
trust which it's officials had spirit
ed away, it is said, to Mexico, or
the commitment of the beef trust
officials for contempti Would not
these books have been Of assistance
to the government 1t not, why
did the government ask for their
productions Would they not, in
all probability, have afforded the
government all the evidence neces-
sary for either civil or a criminal
prosecutiouf +
Is the government III earnest in
prosecuting the beef trusti Is the
civil prosecution a real one, or a
farce and shamY These are the
questions the American citizen is
asking himself. SO far the gov
ernment has failed to answer these
questions by accomplishing any
thing Houston Post.

ston himself had acknowledged
that he could not. The Yukon,
anyhow, was SO cold that nobody
could swim it. "Overboard,

Official reports made up of the
Board Of Trade and the Louisiana
Sugar and Rice Exchange in New
Orleans shows that the sugar and
rice crops in Louisiana have been
damaged at least % per cent by
the prolonged drouth. No rain
except a shower in small portion
of the sugar and rice belt has fallen
since April Ia. A heavy rain now
would benefit the sugar and save
the crop, but the rice crop is too
far advanced harvesting having be-
gun in many localities. Salt water
from the gulf entered hayous and
streams in the rice district aud
made it impossible for the pump
ing plants to pump water into the
irrigating canals. AS result the
rice was permitted to parch under
the burning sun and much of it
is ruined. The experience of the
present season will have the effect
of causing all of the large planters
to abandon the water supply from
the bayous and make them sink
deep artesian wells for irrigating
purposes.
