Record Of Republican Achievements.

Record Of Republican achievements.
A fair record of the results of re-
publican administration of the ma
tional government, constituting also
a forcibie presentation Of the basic
claims of the voters of the country, is
presented in the following summary of
the leading points Of President Roose-
yelt's speech accepting the nomina-
ton of the Chicago convention:
The antitrust laws have been
strengthened and enforced.
The policy OF turning the rascals
OUT has been rigidly pursued.
The republican administr altos has
been clean and conducted on a high
Level.
The national honor and interest
have been upheld at home and abroad.
The finances of the country have
been placed and maintained on solid
gold basis.
The expenditures Of the government
have been kept within its income.
The Panama Canal has been paid
for without bond issue and without
disturbing the country's finances.
The effect Of the protective tariff
system, has been to make the wages OF
working people higher than ever be-
fore.
Where need arises there should be a
REIMBURSEMENT Of the tariff, but always
in the line Of the principle OF protec-
ton.
The belief of the republican party is
in reciprocity according to the enunci-
ations Ct Mckinley.
The principle of equal justice to all
is maintained, without reg ard to race,
cteed or birthplace.
The organization of capital and Of
labor is the natural outgrowth Of our
industrial system, and each IS en-
titled to be granted the full protection
Of the law.
One OF the grandest ideas of the
government is the irrig alton of arid
lands, opening a great domain to
homeseekers.
ne lSbnmlan can al mas Deen assured
through the efforts of the republican
party, and it would be unwise to en-
trust the carrying out of so momentous
an enterprise to those who have en-
deayored to defeat it.
Americas foothold in the Philip
pines gives strength to our trade posi-
tion in the east, and the Philippines
are being governed in the interest of
the people of the islands, with view
to fitting them for self-government.

cron Comment.

/ There was no 1et-up this week in the
daily rains with which this section
has been visited for the past fortnight,
and the roads of the parish are fast
getting in bad shape. A striking in
stance of the popularity of the weather
conditions prevailing just now is
furnished by the fact that with the ex-
ception of q heavy shower Sunday
afternoon no rain of any consequence
has fallen at Hope Villa since last
| April, while at Dutehtown, few
miles away, the precipitation has been
SO great that there is grave Danger Of
serious injury to the crops.
Some localities report too much
rain for cotton, while others state that
just the proper amount of moisture
has been secured. On the whole, the
consensus of opinion seems TO be that
the crop is in excellent shape. and
that the prospect for a large yield is
fattering.
Cane is, deriving great benefit from
the continuous rains and is growing
with rapidity and vigor. The con
dition OF the crop is more than salts
factory to the planters, and it is ex-
pected that the yield of sugar in this
parish during the approaching season
will be the largest in years.
Rice is fast maturing, and unless
there is an early cessation OF the
daily rains great injury will be done
to the crop. Planters who began
harvesting have had to discontinue
work in the fields on account of the
unfavorable weather, and one firm of
rice growers who raised a fine crop
on the Stella plantation, mile or so
below Donaldsonville, are in immt-
nent danger of losing three hundred
acres of it which they cut and have
been unable to stack.
Elisha Dixon discovered several
insects in Meningitis cotton field at
Galyez which he firmly believes to be
boll-weeyils, and has sent them to
ProT. II. A. Morgan, state entomolo-
gist. for inspection. Mr.. Dixon re-
Gently returned from the worlds fair
and says that while there he paid par
tleuiar attention to the exhibit of boil
weeyils, and is confident that the in
sects he discovered are none other
than the dreaded pest.
Corn and other crops are doing
we'll, but would probably do better
with less rain.
According to figures furnished by
Local Observer W.D. Park, the total
rainfall for the first IL days in Aug
ust, computing up to early yesterday
morning, was three and three-quarter
inches. The maximum temperature
thus far for the month was SO, reg
istered on the 2nd. and the minimum
CT, recorded on the 10th.

POLICE JURY MEETING.

Interesting Monthly Session of the Par
ish SoIens-Busfness of Much
Importance Transacted.
The police jury met in regular
monthly session at the courthouse at
noon Wednesday, with President Geo.
B. Reuss occupying the chair and a
full attendance of members. The
minutes OF the last meeting were read
and approved, after which Mr.. Goette,
chairman of the finance committee,
offered a resolution authorizing that
committee to set aside a certain
] amount of funds with which to make
] payments that appertain to the bust
! ness Of a preceding fiscal year, and
also resolution empowering the
| finance committee to charge off over
drafts from the first and third road
districts and the election fund before
the opening of a new set OF books.
Both resolutions were adopted.
A bill for $50 from DIR. Paul T..
Thibodanx, for services rendered in
| small pox cases in the Hope Villa Sec
ton, was, on motion of Mr.. Goette,
received and referred to the finance
committee.
Al W. Whiteman, representing Capt.
Harry G. Whiteman, lessee of the
ferry franchise, addressed the meet
ing and requested that the police jury
concur in the action of the town coun-
ell granting the ferry lessee the right
TO substitute single-hull boat for a
double-hull one. A resolution grant
ing the privilege prayed for was of
fered by Mr.. Goette, and, upon the
roll being called, was adopted by
unanimous vote.
Mr.. Esneault offered an ordinance
requiring the drivers of all two, three
and four-mule and norse wagons, and
all heavily-loaded carts Of any de-
scrirtion, to zig-zag the public roads of
the parish, under penalty OF fine of
not less than S. nor more than $40, or
Imprisonment of not less than five
days nor more than ten days. The
ordinance was adopted without dis
sent.
President Reuss named the follow
ing commissioners and clerks to off,
ciate at the special election to be held
il the seventh and eighth wards on
Saturday, August 90, as ordained by
the jury at its meeting of July ID:
First precinct. seventh ward-Sylvanie eau

Theophile Leblanc, clerk.
Second precinct, sever8bh ward-Henry Woods

First precinct. eighth 4vard-John Evans, An
derson McGrory, commissioners; w. P. Dixon,
ST., clerk.
Second precinct, eighth ward-C, Duval, Law
renee Nichols, commissioners; w. A. Sibley.
Owing to the anticipated absence of
several members OF the jury it is
probable that the September meeting
will foil of a quorum, hence it was
decided to hold a special meeting
on the 24th inst. in order to adopt the
budget OF expenses and ratify the
scale off parish taxes.

matters OF minor interest, the jury ad
