We received last week the following circular letter, but ~eo late for insertion. The letter is plain rnd explains itself, asd we commend it to the careful and thoughtful consideration of our readers: New Orleans, April 17, 189I To the Editor of the Meaenger: At the approaching session of the Le gislature of this State I shall submit a yo proposition for the privilege of main 00 taining a lottery in Louisiana. For this 00 privilege I will offer to pay the State, u quarter ly in advance, the sum of $500, n000 per annum, or $12i,000) for tlhe frarchise for twenty-fve years. This 00 annual license of half a tmillion dollars I would propose to have devoted -one third to the public school system of the per State; one-third to existing charitable ich institutions and such others as may be created, ayd the remaining third to the per construction, maintainance and repairs ro, of levees. I trust that you will give this proposition calm consideration and let the people of the State knot your views ets on the subect. It is a question which on members of the press should consider, I think, without prejudice of any kind, looking only to the best interests of the State. Yours Truly. JOHN A. 10MHRIS. We have given a careful and thought ful consideration to the foregoing pro d. positioti, and after weighing considerate ly every point involved, We have come to the conclusion that it is a fair and nbsi ness-like one, and should be considered In that light by every fair and unpre ' judiced mind. Sentimentality and morality are not involved and should be left aside and c the Lottery matter should be treated . strictly on business principles, to The suppression of the Louisiana Lot- ' id tery would not in the least prevent any one from investing ib lottery tickets, as b _ those who play at lottery would play in the Havana and Mexican lotteries and our cash would leave this state to go and c enrich the people of these cotntries. a Our glorious comnmonweqlth is not in h such a state of prosperity as some of the y y anti-lottery papers would make us be lieve it to be, our levees cannot be main tained properly with the present reve- 1 nues of the state. our charitable Institu- s tions are in a deplorable condition, our 01 insanes are uneared for and are suffer- p ing in unfit jails withoutmedical assist- " ance, our public schools are kept open only six months In the year for want of " funds, and the unfortunate people who of live in the low laltds or levee districts a. have to pay a levee tax which is nearly of 24 per rent higher than the parish tax or twice the amount of the state tax, Ili and yet they are not safe from floods. Le And why is it so, simply because our re- a venues are lonsutflent. We are offered a it chance now to increase the revenues of w the State without increasing the taxa- 1' I tion of the people, shall we refuse it (I when in need? li This lottery question should not be to disregarded by our legislators, they Or should amend the constitution and let J. the people decide for themselves whether lot they want the rechartering of the lottery pe or not. As long as the lottery will do lie what is right and honorable toward the lit state and the people, we will favor it. aft A Foolish Move. on Saturday evening last Pierre Provost, Wi the colored negro who shot Mr. E. D. De- bO champ some time ago, was tried by a jury of five, composed of white men, Democrats, and acquitted. The same evening a movement was uH noticed of the few regulators who still ed' struggle for existance. About eight in bk number were seen about the fall yard, gel on each side, and it is generally believed pli by those who remarked the movement bel that they intended to loob and harm the tin negro. ble But Protoet ha ving been informed of ar what was going on, fearing for his life, st, asked protection from the Sheriff, who, a with the consent of the Judge, kept the hoe negro in jail until he could safely get ea out of town. We are even told that one ou1 of these law-breakers wanted to force the o door of the jail to take the man who was Ieu pronountced not guilty by a jury com- det posed of as honest and competent men pil; as ever was enlisted in the regulators. rea This is wrong and serious, it shows the pi-i evil tendency of those men and the harm a they can do when banded together, those rec men have no respect for our justice, have se no respect for a 'erdict rendered by their ol tellow-eitizens--whitemen-andl will ne respect nothing if allowed to (1o as threy at !ea~.Il Local News. ring -A new floor is being put on the lon. bridge. self, -The drink of the day milk shake at and Labbe's. lere: ---The talk of the day is high water .89J and the lottery.

S The national government has appro- a e- priated $1Z50,utur for rations for the flood k suffererers. Mr. E. A. l)uchamp, president a ur of the police jury of this parish has ap ,r plied for 25(5 rations for two week, esti- i t- mating that 25(- persons in the over t- flowed district of this parish will soon be d of in a destitute condition. He has no idea w to of how long these people will need the tsassistance of the government in the way a of rations. ix --ir. A. Ducas, of New Orleans, trave a, ling agent of the Interstate Building and s.

Bayou Chenc in Distress. An appeal was made to E. A.

This appeal was made SundIay, the water was rising very fast, , ild Mr. l)uchanllpimmediately telegraplh ed to Governor Nicholls to send a boat 4o Havon ('hene to assist the unfortunate x people of that sections. Mr. Duchamp mails arrangements through lion. Thos J Foster. president of tthe spolice jury of St. Mary, to send a toat to Bayou Chene at the expense of I- t. Martin parish. f. i Governor Nicholls has also telegraph that he was informed Iy Mr. M. C. Wlt. r" iams of Iberville that a boat was - sent to Bayou C'hene and lower Grano river to the relief of the people in those sec'tions. Mr. Slmith arrived here from Bayo; 'lhne with 25 head of cattle which he had in a. flat. lie said that the watqr was rising rapidly and before a boat could reach that point the highest land %ould be covered, but that the cattle, about i 5 in number, could stay in the water until the relief boats come. Mr. ('has. Gutekunst, police juror of that ward belitve that the Water will reach about one foot less than '82 water r I)eafness Can't be Cured by Iocal applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafansa and that is by constitutional remedfeg Deafness is caused by an inflamed condl i tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta ehian Tube. When this tube rets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or inmpelrfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed Deafness is the result, and unle-s the inflammation can be taket out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for over; niue eases ont of ten are caused bhy catarrh, which is nothing but an In flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Thursday morning the high water reached the mark of '84 and is rising at the rate of about 2 inches every 24 hours: It lacks 3 feet to reach the '82 mark. Several planters were compelled td leave their homes to move to high lands; All the stock of the overflowed section was driven on the west side of the Teche. The suffering in that section in a fe* days will be great. Cotton seed, core and vegetable seed for planting the water reced will be needed b people and they have not the means to buy it. We believe it would be advisa bIe for the police jnry at its session Mon day to see about this. The bayou which is 5 feet lower thent 82 is falling slowly. It is not expected that the water will rise more than about one foot. The on ly hope of the overflowed people now is that the water recedes in the next 16 days, so as to give them a chance to re plant their destroyed crops.
