WORKING HARD FOR PARKER.

1t will please the supporters OF
Judge Parker and alarm the Re
publican campaign managers, says
the New York Herald Of August
3Oth, to know that in two short
weeks the Committee Of Organiza-
ton of the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee has formed in the
State Of New York an organization
which before election day will be
the equal of the famous machine
which was in operation in the palmy
days of Samuel j. Tilden.
There are in the State about s.
600 election districts. In each of
these an organization has been
formed. This consists, in the
first place, of ten men, who will
devote all their time from now
until election day to the interests
Of the Democratic candidate for
President. This will mean so, ,OOn
men working continuously for
Judge Parker.

Man is progressive. Instinct and
impulse are restrained in him by
reason. He makes mistakes and
corrects them. He has been by
turns . hunter, a herdsman, and a
-tiller of the soil. He has made his
home in caves, in huts, in tents
and in palaces. He has added
knowledge to knowledge and has
mastered The forces Of nature with
the power and snblety of his mind.
Advancing civilization and ripening
cnlture have refined his nature,
sogtened his manners, and elevated
his thoughts. He has achieved
peace and learned its value. He is
more and more inclined to spare
his enemy, to protect the helpless
and succor the weak. He is max.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

The Sonth is now and has been
for a year past the most prosperous
part of the United States. This
prosperity bids fair to continue
without interruption.
Taught by the hard experience Of
a low price for cotton lasting sev.
eral years, diversified farming be-
came general, and while cotton re-
mained liking" increased crops of
corn and wheat were grown, cat
tie and hogs were raised, fruit and
and vegetables became q great
source OF revenue. Now with
great cotton crop in sight, and the
world in need of larger quantity
than ever before, the price will not
sink to the low level prevailing
a few years ago, and the other
great crops were never larger and
are bringing prices that mean pros
perity to the raiser.
In territory as large as that
of the South, here and there the
conditions may be unfavorable,
but as whole the South's pros
poets were never better, and the
eyes of the world are turned to the
fair and fertile land "howing with
milk and honey with a climate so
mild and even that work is a pleas
nre in all seasons, and with a soil
so rich that work brings rich re-
ward.
No wonder the people of the
West are turning toward the South,
cheap and fertile lands can be had in
communities already supplied with
schools, churches and transporta-
ton facilities, and better than all |
with a people who have shown
within the past thirty years a
power to wrest victory from adverse
that has never been
eanaled Home and Farm

S25,0O0, 900 WANTED.

Our distinguished geologists of
the University Of Chicago, Prof.
Chamberlin and Prof. Salisbury,
have inspired the great inventor,
Charles Algernon Parsons, to urge
aproject, which, under the auspices
of less able man, would seem to
be the scheme of a visionary or
crank.
Mr.. Parsons ability in the direc-
ton of steam navigation aud the
application of electricity to practi-
cal uses has just been honored by
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science With the gift
of special gold medal in recogni-
tion of his notable services.
In his recent address before the
Association. Mr.. Parsons stated
his belief in the geological theories
Of the Chicago Professors regard
ing the formation OF the earth.
These scientists reject the theory
so long in vogue that the earth was
a gaseous cloud which
slowly condensed, forming a solid
external crust, leaving molten
mass below the surface. They are
that the earth was formed
by the slow accretion Of cod
meteoric fragments in space.
Mr.. Parsons is not satisfied with
theory, however plausible. He
wishes to put it to the test. He
wants to dig down twelve miles to
Ice what could be found. The bore
would be rather expensive, costing
ome $25, ,000, 900, but who knows
What precious treasures might come
o light, what germs never know
'efore, what new formation, what
'0ssible elixirs, what new form Of
contribution to human happiness.
All that is wanted to carry out
dr. Parsons project is the cash,
nd even that might be forthcoming
I Rockefeller, Carnegie or Schwab
7ere disposed to furnish the means.
Governments were inclined to
mite in scientific enterprises as
hey are disposed to combat each
ther in war, the funds could be
eadily secured and the enterprise
arried out.
Science is justly grudging the
loney that goes to waste in war
'hile unnumbered possibilities for
o0d are awaiting development.
IS soon as civilized beings are
eally civilized there may be q
respect of getting the things
'orth having.

Nothing about sawmill goes to
waste these days. Ten years ago
the mill owners would pile their
sawdust in large heap and then
burn it, getting no return whatever.
The most of them now have Dutch
ovens for drying the dust, and they
burn it in their furnaces, making
the refuse pay for the operation of
the mill. Still others have estab-
lished paper mills and use the saw
dust for making paper. In the
olden days great logs were taken
and squared and the slabs were
thrown away. Now a very thin
slice Is taken off. Then board
is sawed and edged, and in that
way hardly perceptible fraction
is lost with the bark and even the
bark has its uses. States.

The price OF rice is down to its
lowest limit and the rica growers
are simply demoralized. At the
present price there Is not single
rice grower who willmake expenses.
After this year we can hardly ex-
pect any rice to be planted in this
parish, it must be given up, because
it is a ruinous crop. Recent sales
netted the planters about $50 per
sack and the prices at this time
would make it less, and the report
says the worst is not reached yet.
This is not encouraging to those
who have any rice on hand. So.

PENSION FOR VETERANS.

OF the fifteen proposed amend.
ments to be submitted to the elec-
torate of Louisiana, none is Of more
Importance, to a worthy class of
citizens, than that relating to
the Confederate veterans. This is
known as Act No. liz, and pro-
poses to increase the pension of
soldiers, sailors and widows to a
sum not exceeding So per month.
The following is the gist of the
amendment proposed:
Article 303. A pension not to
exceed eight dollars ($S) per month
shall be allowed to each Confederate
soldier or sailor veteran, who pos
sesses all of the following qualifi-
cations:
1. He shall have served honor
ably from the date of his enlist
msnt until the close of the late
Civil War, or until he was dis.
charged orparoled, in some military
organization regularly mustered
into the army or navy Of the Con-
federate States. aud shall have re-
mained true to the Confederate
States until the surrender.
2. He shall be in fndigent cir
cnmstances, and unable to earn a
livelihood by his own labor or
skill.
3. He shall not be salaried or
otherwise provided for by the
State of Louisiana, or by any other
State government. In case he en-
listed in any organization mustered
into said service as Louisiana
organization, or in case ut the date
of his enlistment he resided in the
State of Louisiana, he shall have
resided ia this State for at least
five years prior to his application
for pension. In case he resided
elsewhere than in this State, and
enlisted in an organization not
mustered in from Louisiana, or In
the Navy of the Confederate States
he shall have resided in this State
for at least fifteen years prior to
his application for snch pension.
A like pension shall be granted to
the widow who shall not have
married again, in INDECENT circum-
tances, OF such soldier or sailor,
whose marriage to her was con-
tracted prior to January lst, 1876
Certainly no citizen Of Louisiana,
with drop Of patriotic blood in
his veins, will oppose this amend
inent. 1t is but honoring the
worthy sons Of Dixie aud their
widows There should not be a
single ballot east against the pro-
posed increase Of the pension to
the veterans. Baton Rouge Times.
