Complete Abdication.

A simple perusal of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor's
abdication of his autocratic power.
The very style Of the document is clear
and direct and devoid of the verbose,
vague and bombastic phraseology
(which heretofore has characterized his
majesty's manifestos. It not only be-
trays the real authorship, but shows
that the emperor ct last has irrevoc-
ably bowed to the inevitable. He does
not even conceal the fact that the dis
content and agitation of his subjects
has driven him to take the step and
practically yields everything lib
erty, the inviolability of person, and
liberty of conscience, speech and as
sembly. He not only converts the
| farcical imperial douma, with only
consultative power, into an absolute
| legislative assembly without the as
sent of which no measure shall become
law and before which all governmental
authorities must answer, but promises
eventually universal suffrage.
"Autocrat" an Obsolete Title.
| The title "autocrat of all the Rus
sians," with which the manifesto be-
gins, now takes it's place with the title
of the liking of Jerusalem" borne by
the king of Spain and the emperor of
Austria, and with the other obsolete
titles of European sovereigns.
Americans Hear the News.
J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and George
w. Perkins, were with Finance Minis

ceived the news. 1t was a dramatic
moment The minister was called to

First Bomb Harmless.
The news spread like wild fire
throughout the city. Revolutionists,
and active agitators generally, de-
clared loudly that the governments
promises would no longer suffice and
the strike must be continued.
In TACT, an hour after the news be,
came known revolUtionists took occa-
sion to throw the first bomb into ST.
Petersburg used since the strike be,

polytechnic school, but there was no
fatality. Practically all classes, ex-

ty and fairness of these figures
cotton prices have been fixed by
the markets. Every dollars IN
fair depression in the price of cot
ton due to Juggling with figures
by officials is money taken from
the pockets of small and large
farmers. This is graft or crime.
To thus trihe with the wealth and
the poverty of our people opens
the door for reckless robbery by
the bear Spectator. The cotton
grower can i'll afford to suffer the
populations of officials and the
speculations of gamblers.
Farm and Ranch hopes that this
shower of criticisms will do the
cause much good, tighten up the
leaks in bureau, point the officials
TO the great responsibility of their
positions and make the United
States Department of Agriculture
u more intelligent friend to the
cotton grower.

The Crop Report Middle.

ieAas rdni anu IthnCn.
The Juggling with crop reports
and leaks occurring in the statisti-
cal bureau at Washington bids
fair to develop case of DIR. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde. Mr.. Holmes is
"Mr. Hyde" Secretary Wilson is
the benevolent DIR. Jekyl-and
Statisticiau Hyde may soon be
simply Mr.. Hyde. Hon. Jas.
Wilson is the best secretary of
agriculture for the South that ever
occupied that important chair
His disposition to shield members
of his official family until each has
evidences of guilt brought to light
is bat natural and right. If a
criminal case will lie against Mr..
Holmes or if others are really i'm
plicated in changing figures and
selling Tie uOctOred reports they,
too. should be prosecuted to the
full extent Of the law. President
Roosevelt says that this will be
done. Secretary Cheatham and
President Jordan nave gone to
Washington to lend their assis-
lance. Mr.. Cheatham has hearth
ly endorsed Secretary Wilson's
disposition to go to the bottom of
tho affair.

Anse LaButte.

The development OF the Anse la
Butte oil field has not been aban-
'doned as supposed by many but is
being pushed with energy and sys-
tenn. Several new wells have been
put down with varying results,
but last Tuesday the Martin well
near Haywood No. l came in with
terrible roar, sprowting oil, mud
and water over fifty feet in air.
The drilIers however seem to think
that they struck only u large gas
pocket with little oil in it. This
well is 1000 feet deep but will be
put down twice that depth if ne
'cessary to bring IN a steady flow
or gusher.
The Anse LaButte iield is CROSS
ed by the proposed extension of
the Southern Pacific to Baton
Rouge and those who are interest
ed in the development, feel conf
dent that it will eventually rival
all other oil fields in Louisiana.
The favorable geographical posi-
ton for distribution of the pro-
duct will make the field strong
competitor for supply in the mar
lkets of the world.

FACING USURPATION.
The People,

The People.
The State government, exactly
like the parish and town govern
ments. legitimately, should exer-
else no more power than is dele
gated to it from the same source
the people.
Whenever the Government or
any other State officer, undertakes
to travel beyond the powers plain
ly conferred upon him, he becomes
purely and simply usuper.
From time immemorial the peO-
pie of Louisiana have chung to
their right to regulate the valua-
ton Of their property for the pur-
poses of taxation, through their
their local police juries or city
councils which naturally, are best
acquainted with local conditions
influencing the property values.
This is the correct home rule
system of taxation. 1t allows the
people to administer their own
affairs and when they are we'll ad-
ministered, after making adequate
provision for the ordinary expen-
ses of the govrnment, they may
then vote special taxes for schools,
road improvement aud other pur-
poses promotive of the public well
fare.
Provision must naturally be
made for all the legitimate expen-
ses of the State government; but
when the Legislature and the Gov
ernor override the constitutional
lDhibitiOns, as was done in 1904, -
and make appropriations beyond
the revenues, the question of pro-
viding for the liquidation of the
obligations thus incurred, reverts
to the people and not to the Gov
ernor.
Sinister influences procured the
reversal of one sentence in the
Act of 1902 aimed at the complete
overthrow of the long established
aud time proven local system of
taxation.
The same influences thwarted
the effort made by Representative
Lemann in 1904 to repeal this de-
spotic provision in the Act of 1902.
Governor Blanchard had crossed
the Rubicon when in contempt of
the constitutional Inhibition, he
approved the excessive appropria-
tons of the Legislature and to re-
trieve his grave shortcoming he
resorted to the expedient of usur-
ping the taxing power, on the
fiImsy pretext that great inequali
ties existed in the valuations
though this admission carries with
it the strongest condemnation of
the appointive system, through
which the assessment of the cur
rent and past years have been
made.
The State government save in
the few years following it's rescue
from Republican rule has always
been literally supported by the
proceeds of the assessments made
by the local authority.
Why then was this system, un-
der which Louisiana grew rich and
powerful since time immemoriai.

he was all of this. Shall we not, too
be in some degree all of this and live
with him. Shall we not mould our
character after the same pattern and
carry forward the work he left behind
for this nation to do. That work, be-
lieve, is to SO perfect our national char
acter; so mould it after Washington's
that we shall be an honor to his men,
ory; to so love liberty and right that
all the people OF all the earth shall take
example from US until every nation
under the sun shall owe no allegiance to
king or queen. Then, when our work
is done and our character perfected,
may we stand with Washington before
the king of Kings and know that
beside Him there is none other"
Washington was not a statesman, vet
he is the ideal of all good statesmen; he
was not scholar, yet he is a teacher
of learned men; he was not an orator,
yet he is an inspiration of eloquence-
silent, he yet speaks more elOquently
than Phillips or an Everett;-he was
not religious according to the creeds of
the churches, yet he is looked up to as
a perfect type of Christian manhood.
His work was given him by God. He
did that work as sacred duty. He did
it not that he might become great, but
because he was great. Simple man;
true man; good man. All Hail! Father
of our country"

on looks down upon this country and
sees its trials and it's wrongs, and sees,
too, that men are striving to bring good
out of evil and to steer the "ship of
State safely through the dangers which
threatenit.
Let us preserve our ideals and learn
from the character of Washington les

faith. Let us spread the gospel of civic
liberty until very wrong in our nation

from the bondage of man, but from the
bondage of all forms of slavery.
The time must core when men will
refuse to fight except in defence of
right; when wealth shall not be the
standard of power; when men shall be
measured among their fellows for their
worth as men.

ing from active exercise in the middle
of the day, taking frequent baths and
wearing thin clothing, one can manage
to keep fairly comfortable. 1t is the
fashionable thing in the early morning

The government of Dutch Guiana
has undergone radical changes within
the last few years In 1869 the Code
Napoleon was adopted, subject to modi-
fication by orders in council: and it has
been modified past all recognition.

Men scott at faith, yet the very ones
who sneer possess it. Men ridicule it as
though it were a childish belief; theo-
logians forget their Christianity in their
quarrels over faith. Yet, those who
ridicule do SO because they do not know;
while they who quarrel do SO because
they take a too narrow view of the

These bacterial germs, ever hunting for

Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says: There
would be no grip epidemics the germs of

were pure, if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
