SATURDAY, JU1N, 30, 1900. the Lock iag de Ba ye ourebe. As our readers know the bill rela. ting to the locking of Bayou La. tomrehe has received the signature of the Governor, and will soon have the force of law. We bel'eve this will be glad tidings for the great majority of our people, as it gives promise of relief in the future fiom the annual disasters from which our people have suffeed so muth in the past. It seems, however, that there are some people in our parish who have their misgivings, to put it mildly, about the llest of the proposed locks on the Miesasippi River and the ulturoe o rides i our perish. We publish in this issue a letter on this subject from a valued orresposdent, sugesting objections and inviting diasoion. Our columns ar open to our readers desirous of discussing the Important question which so vitally concerns our people. While the SnTlrrnL has never trea tes the question selamtively, it hare from time to tine given expression to its views thereon, and for that reason will only touch now on one or two points suggested by its correspon. dent. As to the effect of the locking of the bayou on the water level in the Mississippi, the SrnTIarL is informed that engineers, who have gi e' t"i matter their earnest oonsidca..,., are of opinion that it will not raise the level of the river by so much as one"sisteueth of as look. Asseming that these men know what they are talking about, there is no fear to be eatertained on tha score from ela log the bayou. *The locking of the bayou will most c likely interfere with the present method of IrriLgattg rfee; but that strikes us as an obj*etion of not s#ucient importance to cause us to hesbitate when we oonider the vast pood to be acompllebed by the pro. poed projectl However the matter is open tor discelaon and we join our correspondent in irnviting it . A opiatesOaa TVezatlous uemeon. . The question as to when it will be d required to produce a receipt eviden, t cla the prepsyment of the poll tax uas a prerequisite to voting is loomuing up as a vuatious oe whleh wiM a have to be solved iu the near future. t It is not our purpose to dsouss the i questiou at this tiam or to give our views on it; but simply to lay bblore u oar readers the views of the late I Thomas J. Semmes, the recogansed t leader of the Louisroana bar givesln i as interview in the latter part of 1898. Judge Semmes wa ofw the oplnon that the poll tax provsion of the I constitution does not apply until two years after the April, 1900, election. He mys la prt: "This ta uas levied by the constitution itself, without tLLhe add of tate legislstion, therfom It rmut be two years from April, 190I, before its prepament becomes a prerequmsiite to voting; It is only when the tlu has been Ita atea for two yem t tt i o ib r as thebr to prodee ax ~aseipts for di two yesu -be uinait PI, tax receipts showlng payment mot of any poll tax, but :rlb plt tods ~Jkd by the countitution, which levly esanot take place until artic.e 198 ges iato In operation, that s to say, April, 1900. lesnoe, Is my opiniofa, the protection of tax receipts Abr the payment of poll takes as a prerequisite to thei xeruise of the right to vote scanot at *e drmanded intil 1902.

St. Martin, lie states to merch-'uts, store and salou keepers of the par mk ish that the present administration will strictly enfoice the Sunday law. The fifty-nine parishes. of the State have not known what it was to obyeve such a ridiculous law, so seltish and aut of reason. However, tomorrow, Ascension merchants and saloon keepers are expecttd to strictly carry uat the letter of the law of 1886, by the edict of Gov. W. W. Heard.-The Daily Tunes. e of When we read tuat it was iy "the the edict of Guyov. W. W. lleard that what the Times styles a ridiculous ' of law was to be enforced it struck us a e of strange bit of news and we at once looked f.r the Sheriff's notice referred ove to in the article. Here it is : are "Please take notice that it is the ave intention of the present administration ily. to strictly enforce the Sunday law, Oks and all violators thereof reported to the me will ie'brought before the edurt We sad vigorously prosecuted." this The "present administration" may et refer to dhe local as well as to the ing State administration, and in all pro. bability it does refer to the first. The local "present administration" is the direely charged with the adminia. ully tration and enforcement of laws, sad it is more reasonable to suppose R that reference is made to its inten tion in the above cited notice. " Bet the Time. in its friendliiness() Ion for Gov. Heard could not resist the wo temptation to register its little kick. n By the way, even if it be by the edict of the governor that the law is oto be enforced, since when is it a crime for a governor to require the ied enforcement of the laws which the -wore to obey and execute? At the oontvention of the National Feders'iou of W'omen Club held in lu Milwaukee some two weeks ago a e Mrs. Presley K. Ewing, one of be the Texas delegates, took a promi __ eant part, and won laurels in her strong advocacy of a resolution Bet demanding shorter hours for retail I at clerLks. Mrs Ewing is a native of our Ot parish, being a daughter of out to esteemed fellow citizen, Capt. C. C.

( ros our reqularCorresposdens.) she PARIS, FRANCE, JuNs 11, 1900. a 1 see in a Paris paper this morni g that Senator Hale characterized the us Parts Exposition as a "bad perfor. a mance." This was the opinion of 1M. ice Renon, of all expositions; he despised .ed them and blamed women for them. Let anyone recall his own impressions of the Chicago Exposition. Nine out ot ten will first think of the Midway the Plaisance attraction"; a majority of on visitors will recall the tawdry insub. iw, stantial archtecture, the fireworks, to the Ferris wheel, and a wilderness of urt show-cases differing little from those of the great stores in many cities of the United States. Well, the he Paris Exposition is not substantially e dlferent. from this. Its Midway ro- Piaisasce is not cramped, it is scat st. tered here and there in different is parts. There is a great display of architecture that will be torn down. There is a Ferris wheel and the Eitfel ws' tower. There is the same bewilder )se iug array of show wiudnlwa with te en- ductive display of frocks, furnitute, iewelry, hats, bric-abrac, arranged to () tempt the modern Eve and swell the tide of luxury and extravagan.e, as he M. Henon might think, though he k. would say it better. If all this is so he why do people go to Expcsitions ? is Because Expositions are trem endously advetisedl, and because the a human heart anu: foot is always in be pursuit of sensation: always seeking ie the will o.the-wisp novelty. Because the world loves to be humbuggel a great many times, vowing after each decel tionu t will not be caught again I but ever hungry for the next thing in The Paris Expositton, like all the :o rest, is a mammoth advertising of scheme, and France has of course the hog's share of the advertising and Paris will profit immensely by the er show. The part played by our in country here is, in comparison, far il from conspicuous. We appear only here and there by an exhibit marked Ur by an American fiag and there is near.y always adjoining nus or acros ii the aisle from us an exhibit of the U. same class by another country, it g. may be Italy, Hungary, or Belgi um that vies with us, or eclipses us in richness and taste, and extent of f display. Of course this means nothing to those who think, or know that the United States exhibit is bothing more if than the .lay out" of some finn or 5 firms that strive to find or incresse . their business on this side of the 15 water. But to the average tourist e g from rural France, Germany, and v !r Belgium who make the bulk o thbose I who se the Exposition and who b Soknow as hittle about the United States Sa a horse does of astronomy, the Simpre:sion is that Belgium and'Italy d I have more taste and better things r than tnthe United States, and that t : France has everything. These e Intrnational Expositions are muchl h like the hoslitalities of the Fox and I" I the Stork. How can our country, da ' coisideru g the three thousand miles or of sea and the even more obstrucfive Smiles of railroad under the pecnlhar I French management compete with SFrance or other contiguous countries? f The way to get even with them will I be to have cur .next Exposition at l Cape Name. I do unt know anything adout the ) misuse of the appropriation of $1,400,000 made by tie goverument - fui this Expositions, asalieged in the charges of Senator Jones There has doubtless been extravagance and lerrors or judgment in building, P purchasing, installing, and in the hanns dreds of iucidents in which the ne o erons personnel of the American pi (commissioa employes and servants have had to pay out money.
