brought to our notice and find upon

have become much Improved within
the past six months.
The (lerk of Police Jury came he
foleus in relation to Road Ove'rseor
t.hloughout the Parish; ihe repo ts
Road Oversee's have failed to for
ward their reports for reaIson that
the prevailing high stage of water
has placed their roads in such a situ

have their respective roads worked.
\We have carefully eXamined Ihe
books and vouchers of WV. T. I'vans,

Reduction Tendeney In Trade.
The New York Shipping List states
that the tendency in important
branches of trade is to reduce expenses
to the lowest point possible. This
tendency is more apparent in the
cotton, breadstuffs and provision
trades than anywhere else. By the
aid of cables European merchants are
enabled to dispense with middle men
and make purchases fiom first hands.
The sphere of middle men in these
trades has been contracting for yea' a
past, and the tendency ponlats still
more strongly in that direction. In
England the same thing is taking
I place. As a consequence, the middle
itnen thus displaced have turned their
attention to speculation. The change
irs largely the result of instant com
it.nunication between remote parts of
tlhe world and quick transit. Cornm
ua)etition has become so sharp that It
.s absolutely essential that all unnec
essary expenses should be lopped off.
and the transit reduced to the short
e st possible space, with the view of
economising interest. The piresent
generation Is impatient of restraint.
It pierces the mountains, bores under
the rivers, spans the gorges, scales
the heights, harnesses steam and
drives electricity tandem. In a word
it is a progressive generation,, and has
little reverence for musty old meth
ods.
The Post editorially says the neg
lest of the Mississippi must be set
down as one of the great mistakes of
the last session of the Forty-seventh
Congress.
