ANOTHER PROTEST.

The Police Jury of Pointe Cou-
pee Parish at Now Roads, last week
adopted the following resolutions
by a unanimous vote:
"Whereas, It has been brought
to the knowledge of this body by
newspaper publication and through
other channels that tho Board of
Commissioners of the Atchafslaya
Levee District purport to appro-
pirate $50, 900 of the funds of
said board towards the erection of
locks in the Bayou Lafourche L.
wee District, outside of it's juris-
diction. whereas said board needs
all of it's revenues and more to
protect the people of the parish of
Pointe Coupee from the waters of
the Atchafalaya aud Mississippi
rivers;
Therefore. be it resolved by the
police jury of tho parish of Pointe
Conpee. in regular session assem-
bled. That al earnest protest 10
hereby entered against said board
OF the Atchafalaya Levee District,
and strenuous objections are here
by made towards diverging the
peoples money, levied for their
protection, for other purposes than
to build levees and otherwise pro-
tect their properties and homes
from overflow.
"Rs it further resolved, That a
copy of this resolution he forwar-
ded to the Governor of this State
and the members of said hoard,
and the leading newspapers of New
Orleans"
When all the neglected sections
Of the district will appear before
the board aud the Governor and
the true condition If things is
presented to them and the Cover
nor, We feel safe to Say that We
will get relief before our money is
spent to build locks in Bayou La

Fake Crop Reports.
Agricultural EpitOmist.

Some plan whereby fake reports
of crops could be headed off, as
might have been done by proper
methods at the beginning of the
cotton furry last autumn and the
Patten wheat furry of this spring,
would b. a good thing for tho
country. Cotton growers claim
that British cotton manufacturing
houses have been iu tho habit of
employing agents in this country
to start false reports about the ex-
tent of the crop, making it appear
larger than it is, 80 as to force
down prices. In this way the plan
tor is cheated out of a good deal
OF revenue which hs would have il
tho regular laws of supply aud de-
mand were permitted to have free
play. Of course this is an lnjus.
tice to the cotton grower, and in
recent years the Department of
Agriculture has done much by it's
carefully gathered and prepared
reports in correction of the evil.
Another set of fakirs ought also
to be abolished, if possible, and
that is the gamblers who send the
prices of all farm products up to
the highest possible figures as
soon as they get the produce out
of the growers hands. They often
send prices up by circulating fall. o
reports about tho shortages. which
do not exist, as was the case in the
recent wheat furry, and at other
times, when there is au actual
shortage, they make prices bound
upward 10y coruering the market.
Commonly the growers mako very
little, if anything, out of this per-
nicious activity of the gamblers,
for most of the produce has gono
out of their hands by this time.
If both classes of fakirs were
abolished the grower would be
benefited and tho public at the
same time would be protected. !
The produce exchanges are, of
course, Of vast benefit to the grow
