Bryan will now put on his old
straw hat and return to his farm.
The dollar afwned the Democra
cy.and the gold barons have the
--
peopleby the throats.
MtKivley carried twenty-seven
States with a few more to hear
from. Bryan carried only eighteen,
and might possibly have one or
two more. It was a crushing de
feat.
England rejoices over the defeat
of Bryan. His defeat shows the
little sentiment expressed freely for
the Boer cause, and upon which the
Democratic party made its strong.
est isue.
Hardtner, Congressman Jos. E.
Ransdell's opponent in the fifth diet
trict lost his own parish by 150 ma
jority. Hardtner received a terrible
defeat, and we doubt if his vote in
the whbols.district was over 350.
O The yellow fever news from
Natchez is not good. The latest
from Natchez says that there are
three new cases and several cases
that are suspicious. We can't sie
bow it can spread.
Croker, Hill and the great Tam
many organizntjsen'if' New York
City should feg pretty sore over
the lose of t-e state and especially
over tbe ieatly reduced majority of
90,009 that Bryan was sure to re
-t.tve. Croter can now return to
Europe.
The Democrats elected solid con
gressional delegations from the
States of Alabama, Arkansas, Col
orado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada,
South Carolina, Texas and Virginia,
aggregating seventy-five members.
The Republicans will control the
House and will also have a safe ma.
jority in the Senate.
In the death of Major llenry G.
Bearsey, editor of the New Orleans
Daily States, Louisiana has lost one
of its grandest and noblest men.
The Democratic party will miss
him; the whole State will miss him.
lie was always found tighting the
battles of the people. lie never
fluched from right. We mourn
the death of the true and noble
Hearsey.
The Democratic partly has been
,defeated before, and it does niot feel
discouraged by its defeat of Tues
day. It will continue to live and
will win in time. The corrmllt par
ty now in power will become too
brazen, then the people will rise up
and crush it out. Such a paty can
ot lahet. It may be victorious to,
day, by the use of eorrultion funds,
eubscribed by gold bugs and tr-usts,
but it cannot last.
The Daily States says that "the
transport Sherman, it is noted, ar
rived at San Francisco Thursday
with the following human c:aro:
Dead,- 51; eick, 467; convalescent,

and just what 'glory' we have won
to compensate for the exhibition is
yet toe determined."
The Vicksburg Dispatch in an
editorial on the late election hits
the nail squarely on the head ,hlen
it says : "Our great party, the one
that represents the masses of thet
plain people) has again been de
feated, Considering the forces ar

THE DEFEAT OF THE DEffOC
RACY.
Daily States.]
It is not our purpose to-blav1U'f or
rail at WillialanJ. Bryan. lie is a
great leader, an honest and a sincre
'man, but the fact cannot be disput.
ed that his insistenea on the intru.
sion of the discredited silver issue
in the Kansas City platform was a
fatal blunder and caused the over.
whelming defeat of the Democracy
in yesterday's presidential election,
for these days the dollar is not only
put above the mail, but above every.
thing that is in heaven and on earth
and the waters thereof.
If the Democracy is to survive at
a political party it must be reorgan
ized. New men must take the place
of the present leaders and the parts
get back to the old ground it occu
pied before it became tainted witi
Populism and be an to follow aftei
strange gods. Having sustaineJ
two successive and crushing defeats
Mr. Bryan's leadership is, of course.
at an end, but the love and admira
lion which the masses of the peoph
have for him is as strong as ever.
and he will always have all honorec
place at the party's council boarJ.
He made a splendid fight for th
great principles of governmnen
which the fathers of the republic
embodied in tee Declaration of In
dependence and the constitution
but, as we said yesterday, there wa:
arrayed against him and hi3s follow
enr the tremendous money power oi
the country, represented by the vas
trusts, syndicates, corporations ant
the multimrillionaires, who are wax
inIg fatter and richer upon the sweat
and blood groulnd out of the comn

rights has been fought and lost

THE FIRST DAY OF THE FAIR
The East Carroll Fair opened tin
der the most auspicious circumsatan
ces last Thursday. The day w:,
almost cloudless, although a stifi
wind blew from the north.
The Art Gallery was beautifully
decorated with the national colors,
and the walls and sides of the build.
ing were filled with all kinds of ex.
hibits, agricultural, domestic, aasi
otherwise. The tine exhibits of handi|
work sent in by the ladies deserve
special mention.
The Farmer's Institute met in the
morning hour, and an address of
wecome was delivered by Judge. M.
Kennedy, followed by Major J. G.
Lee, of the Experimental Station at
Calhoun, La., who read a hine paper
on "Soil Improvement."
At the fair grounds Congressman
Ransdell delivered a fine address,
which was followed by the races.
The ladies of the Episcopal
Church served an elegant dinner in
the Art Gallery, and did well.
Yesterday everything passed off
in the most successful manner.
We cannot give a full account of
the fair until next weak. when the
Banner-Democrat il.tire off its big
gun.

heretofore let by Colonel Potter. Uni
ald States eogiteer, a sinking or slid
ilb occutrred, unessIetating na enlarg.
ment of the slope and the tilling of old
pits at the base of the old levee.
The government having no available
unds. and considering it important
that the wokt should be dohe at once,
and while the contractor.was still on
the ground, l contracted for it at the
expense of the board.
The work amounted to 11,619 cubic
yards.
STATE WORK.
The State let on August 26, a con
tract for Cabin Teele, new levee, in
Madison parish, to C. 1). Leeper, at
13.23 cents per cubic yard.
This levee will.contain approximate
ly 208,000 cubic yards. On October
3d contract was also let by the board
of state engineers for a loop at.'Green s"
in Concordia paiish, containing about
60,000 cubic yards.
This work was contracted for at
14.43 cents per cubic yard.
UNITED STATES WORK.
Upper Teusas District-Col. Charles
L. Potter. United States engineer, in
charge of this district, has assumed
the building of the large levee at Ilia.
wara in East Carroll parish, of about
1.,500.000 cubic yards, and a large
force is now at work there.
This work will consume about all of
the available funds in the hands of
Colonel Potter, for work in the Fifth
Louisiana Levee district, and any other
ne(essary work from the Arkansas
i line to Reid levee must be looked after
by the district or State.
Lower Tensas District-Major G.
V C'. Derby has recently let contracts
fi.r about 715.,00 cubic yards of en
largenment and repair work in the par
ishes of Tensas and Concordia. of
which about 292,000 cubic yards was
in place on October 1st.
Of the work in this district 59,985
yards is at Stockridge levee. in the
parish of Tensas, and the remainder in
Concordia parish.
A detailed statement, showing
amount of each contract, locality,
amount in place, etc., is attached to
this report.
NEW LEVEES KEQUIRED.
The district will have to build a new
levee at l)uckport, in Madison parish,
before n xt high water,-which will con
tatin aboit 100.000 cubic yards. and
contract for same will be let at an
earli V date.
A loop may also be required near
upper end of Biggs levee, in Madison.
The cave at this point is being care.
fully watched and the loop will be
contracted for whenever it becomes
necessary.
It is probable a new loop will also
be required at Young's point, in Madi
son parish.
It is hoped that no new levee will be
required in Teases and Concordia par
ishes this year. except the new loop
now being built by the State at Green's
and a levee at Vidalia.
The Vidalia levee will require ap
proximately 75,000 cubic yards,
CAVING.
The most serious caves are at Illa
wara. in East Carroll parish; Cabin
Teele. in Madison parish, and at
Green's. in Conoordia parish, where
new levees are now being constructed.
The Faving at Duckport, Young's
point, and at upper end of Biggs levee
Madison parish, is assuming serious
proportions, and as mentioned above
new loops will be required in the near
future.
In Tensas parish the threatened
points are at Claggett and Kempe.
There is reason to believe that it will
not be necessary to do any work at
Claggett, and that the revetmeut work
at Kempe will restrain the cave so that
a new levee will not be required there.
At Aruauidia, Moro. Glasscock and
Fairview there is no danger of the
levee being built at this time.
The cave at Vidalia progresses slow
ly, but has reached the base of the
levee, and the building of a new levee
is imperative.
REVETMENT,
Nothing has been done on the revet
iment work at Providence reach or at
Delta point since the last meeting of
the board, but it is expected that work
will be resumed at Providence at an
early dlate.
Fair progress is being made with the
revetment at D)oudurant chute and it
will be completed before high water.
During the mooth of August the
lower part of the revetment at Kempe
was damaged by the scorching of the
bed of the river along the edge of the
muattresses, are now being made to re
pair the damage. a
T''he safety of the levee does not now
appear to be involved, and Maj. Derby
expresses the belief that the repairs
will be completed before any further
damage is dlone.
There has been very little caving
above the revetinent, and below it
there is a margin of upwards of 600
feet between the bank and the levee.
WEED CUTTING, ETC.
The district has had all weeds, brush,
drift, etc., in Madison to Hard Times
in Teusas parish, at a cost of $22?0.20.
Below Hflard Times this class of work
was undertaken by Major Derby.
From Reid levee north to the Arkan
sas line, the clearing, etc.. was done
under the supervision of Captain E. C.
Tollinger, assistant United States engi
neer. the district paying onehalf the
cost. the amount charged to the dis.
trict being $736.20.
Work of this kind has been more
carefully attended to and thoroughly
done this year than ever before, it bav
ing previously been the custom to clear
off only those portions where the
growth was rank, while this year the
whole inhe received attentiotl:
LANDS.
Deeds have 'ecently been executed.
conveying to Howard Cole about 2600
acres of land in Tenses parish, and to
Howard Cole and the North Louisiana
Land Company about 8490 acres in the
parish of East Carroll.
Deeds to about 24 000 acres more
land in the parish of East Carroll will
he executed in a few (lays.
The addition of these lands and of
that previoasly sold,to the tax rolls will
materially increase the revenues of the
board.
The purchasers contemplate utiliz.
ing the timber and clearing the lands
for the purpose rof agrlculture, and ex
pect to bring settlers from the northern
states.
FINANCES.
The revenues of the board from the
taxes of the year 1899 have practically
all been collected.
After paying all outstanding war
rantS there will remain of the revenues
of 1899 about $25,000, and aboutS8,000
from the sale of land, making about
$,33.000 to be applied to the payment
for levee work now being done before
anticipating the revenues of 1900.
It will be seen that this surplus of
cash on hand will about besufficent to
pay for all work now uandr contract,
leaving the reveultaa t 1900 clear for
the new work to be done.
