Premium On Marriages.

Fifty dollars when you get mar
ried, $50 for every baby" That's
the offer j. b. Martin, proprietor
of fashionable New York hotel,
has made to his employees, says the
Kansas City Journal. In case the
babies come in twos or threes each
one stands to collect $50 just the
same. Mr.. Martin has paid s., $50
in bonuses within the last year,
aud is willing to pay as much more
this year. Once only has he paid
upon twins. "I've found the plan
to work out admirably" Martin
declares. Marriages aud babies
bring responsibility, and that iu-
creases the reliability of my help.
My men are not looking around all
the time for another job; their ha-
bits are better than ever before,
and l can always depend upon
them. l used to have lots of trou-
bic 10 keeping my people. Now
they seldom make a change. The
plan is worth the money"

The Levee Question.

A large number of persons from
st. Martinville went to Breaux
Bridge last Sunday to attend the
meeting, concerning the building
Of the Atchsfalays Levee.
The people are realizing the fact
that they cannot expect relief from
the present board, on the CONTRA
ry. they see that their money is
bsing used entirely forthe protec-
tiou of the east side of the Atcha-
falays, and to their great injury.
The levee already built raises the
water on the west side of the river
twenty inches, and that covers a
large area of our best lands. The
building of fifteen miles more le-
wees on the same side will again
increage the stage some twenty
inches or more, aud this will food
the entire section of low lands In
st. Martin parish, and we are ill.,
formed, will destroy the entire
Grand Point section, and will
bring the water just a short dis
tance to Bresux Bridge.
If this new levee is built. it will
prove ruinous to this parish in
this, that the best lands, which are
the low lands on the west side OF
the Atchafalaya river will remain
under water all the time, and
thousand of acres of land will be
rendered useless, and thousands
of people will be compelled t.
leave their homes for the higl
lands.
It seems that we can get no jus
tice or redress from the presen
board, and the thing which mus
be done, is to -njoin the board ''
prevent the construction of th'
new levee aud to seek the remOva
of the present. board.

No Sanitary Dictatorship.

If there is any special sort OF
radicalism that has become AL
overpowering principle, if not a
wild fad, of the people Of Louisi-
ana. it is that the people shall take
and keep in their own hands the
power of choosing their own Off
cisls, aud fired by this determine
tion they have voted to deprive
their Chief Executive, the Cover
nor of the State, of all patronage
and power of appointment.
Nevertheless, in face of this fact,
the people who have been taking
part in the health conference in
session at Alexandria voted to
place the power of appointing all
health officers in the State in the
hands of the President of the State
Board of Health, giving him a
power and patronage far above
that of the Governor or of any
other official in the State, and the
Legislature is to be asked to cre-
ate such a dictatorship of the san
itary service of this great State.

MONTHLY REPORT.
SHELDON ASKS 500 900
FOR REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
Issues Call for $50 Each from
iO,O0O-StrOng-BOx Empty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.--George r..
Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican
national committee, yesterday issued all
appeal for contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign chest. He admitted
that it was empty, and that debts were
piling up. He asked that 10000 bust
ness men contribute $50 each.
In this respect, Mr.. Sheldon differed
from Herman Ridder, keeper of the
Bryan campaign purse, who has been
requesting 500 Democrats to come to
the Hoffman House and contribute
1000 each.
In his appeal Mr.. Sheldon says:
IT have determined, therefore, to ask
a uniform contribution from, say 10, 1000
business men so vitality concerned in
the continuance of the Republican prin-
ciples. I hope you will place yourself
on this roll and ser your check, for
which an official receipt will be sent
YOU" The total amount would be $780,
900.
