dens ot taxation and relieve, as far as
possible, the t:'eessaiii> ot the pooi
from taxation. The lh>u?c of Repre
sentatives has put this pledge into force
and the Democratic majoiitv oi the Sen
ate will make it a law within n month.
The Chicago platform, too, pledged
the people that the expenses of govern
ment would be reduced and economy
established in every branch ot the gov
ernmental machine. This, too, is being
carried out. The experts of the Dock
! cry Commission have not yet had time
to go thiotigh all the departments and
; complete theii woik of practical admin
istrative refoim. Up to date, however,
four or five great bills have been passed
by the House : two have been approved
: by the Senate, and are laws, which will
: save to the taxpayers several bundled
thousand dollars a ycai in salaries alone,
, and at the same time expedite the pub
lic business. The appiopriatiou bills
reported from the House up to ihis time
I have saved to the. people fiom*;ten to
twenty millions, and at the same time,
i made provision for imptoving the pub
lic service.
Thus are Democratic pledges being
carried out, thus is the Detnociatie the
ory of government being put in force !
and established, it takes some time to
destroy old evils and kili old abuses.—
During the thiity years that the Repub
lican party held the citadel of govern
ment. it planted its loots deeply, and its
branches have grown luxuriantly every
wheie. Inordei to kill these abuses all
at oi ee it would be necessary fo destroy
the tree. This cannot, be done, so the
branches must be carc-lally lopped oft,
clipped and pared in otder to make the
Demociatic promises elleetual without
interfering with the course of govern
ment, or in any way obstructing its ma
chinery. That the promises made by
the Democratic party, however, are be
ing carried out is apparent and incon
trovertible from this brief review of the
work of Congress to this date.

The comments on the condition of the

It has been the custom of the jailor to
1 clean up the prison a day or two before
the opening of the jury term of the
I court, so that the inspection given it
' might secure a favorable repor t. The
j same ruse was adopted this time, but
fortunately lor the people of the town

the solemnity and sacredness ot truth»

At a meeting of the State Board of

Saturday >'425,000 of State bonds were
ptiiehased at prices ranging from 01
cenlstoa little more than 90, at. a cost
to the State of about ><407,700. This
will reduce the State debt >'42">,000
and the annual iuteiest chaigc $17,000.

The Board al-o appointed a commit
tee to confer with the holders of old
coupons and outstanding warrants of
1 vtf and 1S80, wiih a view ot retiring
such coupons and wat rants at such fig
ures us may be mutually agreed upon,
out of the general fund surplus of about
*400,000, now in the trcasuiy.
These coupons aud warrants, formiug
the State's floating indebtedness,
amount to * 1,001,000, and are classed as
follows :
Coupons 1 to 11 *3.>0,000
Warrants ot lSböand P;Hij 400,000;
, Coupon No. 13 402,000
T he holders of some of the coupons
have expressed a willingness to compro
mise at (30 per cent on the face value of
their coupons, asking no interest.
After taking the action above refci led
to the Hoard adjourned to meet iu New
Orleans on Tuesday to consummate the
purchase—receive aud pay for the bonds
—but was met by a restraining order
sued out of the U. S. Court by the cou

law authoi izes the use of the genera! !

" I favor a taiiff strictly f».t revenue,
am opposed to a bounty on sugar, but
favor a tariff on sugar, not tor pr otec

revenue. ' * I would not confirm any
man who is not a loyal Democrat. * *
" I do not impugn Mr. Cleveland's mo

do not approve the appointment- of Re

Our earnest advice to every farmer iu
this parish is to plant a litt'« cane this
year, no matter if it is only .. few rows.
Cane will come out all right at the end.
It has been demonstrated tliat an acre
in sugar cane, gives a cle ir profit of
from $50 to SSO. More than three times
the protit in corn per acre, i i the north
aud west. Northern corn It ud costs all
