THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION.

The alarum bell has rung and the soldiers Of
charity have come TO the front In another
column we publish an appeal to the public
from the Howard Association who recognize
Ing that the danger has become imminent,
are now taking the proper measures TO face
It, Our citizens we'll remember with grateful
feelings the noble work which has been &C
complished in the past by that noble institu-
ton.
Whenever disease has been prevalent their
brave and we'll tutoled arms have come for
ward to alleviate It's miseries. Whenever des-
titution has reared its haggard head In the
community. the religious charm of their
charitable hearts and open hands has laid the
fearful ghost with aid, help and aims. call
Is now made by them upon the people for aid
In the fight they have assumed against the
| monster that now threatens us. It must be
responded to. The claims Of the sick and
destitute have never fallen upon q deaf year
In New Orleans. Let those who have dollar,
nickel, or Il loaf Of bread TO spare give 1t.
Let those who can nurse the sick volunteer
their services. We are as yet only on the
eve Of an epidemic. Perhaps 1t can
be avoided, but 1t may be that the dire
scollrge cannot be averted. All our energies
may be required to help our fellow-men In
distress. There is no nober cause to fight
for. and we have no doubt that the New Or
leans people will be up, on this occasion, to
their old standard. Bravery is with them q,
Evolutionary virtue and charity Is innate,
When that the poor have cried. Caesar hath
wept."
This can be said Of our people, and we glory
and rejoice in it. There may be very little
danger to apprehend. but, however great 1t
may be, we are sure that our citizens will be
equal to and master it.

The newspapers have iokingly referred TO q
new Insurance. company about TO be organ
lied in France, which proposes to guarantee
the honesty Of employees Of firms and cor
porations, and Of other persons holding posi-
lions Of trust. Countless jokes have been
hurled nj this story, and the certainty Of this
strange insurance company going into bank.
ruptcy In a very few days were 1t to insure
the honesty Of Massachusetts cashiers and
bank presidents unanimously predicted. Not
only Is this proposed company no hoax, as
some Of the papers seem to think, but there
are already actually In existence numerous
insurance companies Of this kind. One was
organized in England as early as 1910, and
seven more have sprung into life in that
country since while our neighbor, Canada
has two both In prosperous and paying con-
dition.
The system Of these companies is very
simple They propose to furnish cashiers
etc, with bondsmen, charging them only
per cent per a1lnum, payable every siz
months, on,the amount Of their bond. Thus, 4
the bond given be $40 900. the annual premium
will be 5000. The principle Is identical with
other insurance companies where the under
writer's engage for consideration TO insure
the property holder against loss.

Federal soldier to turn the votes Of this large
class in Texas d Confederate veteran, q Ger
man, to get the Teutonian vote OF Texas, etc.
The Greenbackers, Of course, have no hope
or anticipation OF carrying the State. They
merely desire TO show their strength and
complete their organization SO that in some
subsequent campaign they may enter the
field with hopes Of success. They claim o.
ready to have 500 clubs organized in the State,
only seventy Of which are colored, and expect
to poll 10000 ex-Democratic votes, which
with the 10000 Republican votes they are
promised, will give them q most respectable
send-Off.
At the late Democratic State convention
at Austin o greenback plank, such as was
adopted by our convention, was offered, but
voted down by u large majority. This has
undoubtedly, given the Texas Greebbackere
strength, as many Democrats In that State
are of their way of thinking on the financial
question.
1t Is said that Hon. r. q. Mills, Congress
! man from the Fourth THE Waco District, is
strongly infected with greenbaekism. Quite
d number Of Democrats are opposing bis
nomination on this ground to the great de-
light of the Greenbackers, who hope thai
Mills will fall into their hands and. with his
personal popularity and their support, he
would be elected In spite Of any or all opposi
ton that might be made.

The New York Tribune has for some time
past been urging the Republicans to contest
certain so-called Republican districts in the
South. There are it declared, a dozen or
more districts in the Southern States that
could be carried for "the party OF pro-
gress" by furnishing them few Northern
speakers and u little Northern money. 1t
was only the other day that it urged this plan
on the Republican National Congressional
Committee and suggested the sixth district OF
mississippi, Gen. Chalmers district, as q good
one to try with eS-Gov, Alcorn as tho Nepub-
liepl1 or independent candidate
But It's views on this subject seem to have
suddenly changed. ",Ehe way to attack the
elections this fall" 1t says In it's last issue
sis to proceed on the superstition that Repub-
iican gains in the South are almost out OF
question, and to put the hardest kind OF work
i'm all the close Northern districts. # q few
Southern districts happen along to swell the
majority. why SO much the better
Tt seems likely from this that the Republi'
cans Of the North have finally concluded moi
to lend their Southern brethren any assistance
in the coming campaign.

Hard times are evidently producing bad
morals and initiating our criminal classes.
Az no time In the history of this country
have there been SO many convicts in the
Denitentiaries and prisoners in tho iails as
now. In 1871 our penitentiaries contained
10000 conviots, while to-day we have 81 600
an increase Of 95 per cent. The number Of
prisoners serving out terms in the prisons
or awaiting trial Is 10000, making grand
total Of 81 900 imprisoned criminals-ono in
400 OF the population. The greatest increase
i'm criminals is in the South and West
Massachusetts, however, as OF old, still
leads the list, the proportion of prisoners tc
population In that State being greater thar
In any other part OF the country. In the
South these criminals are self-supporting
and In some States return the State reve
nue.: but in the West and North, owing tx
the agitation of the workingmen agains
prison labor being put in competition will
free labor, they are kept idle and supported
7 by the State. A statistician who has investi
gated the matter estimates that the Northern
and Western States now pay out more thai
sS5.0O0,000 yearly for the support OF their con
~iets and prisoners. AS it costs about al
much more to convict them, it is plain tina
eur criminals are most expensive class
and cost far more proportionately than in an
other country.

The Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D., OF New Or
leans, is just what a minister should be.
While away on summer vacation he learned
that yellow fever had broken out, and he at
once returned to New Orleans to give his per-
sonal efforts towards mitigating the sCourge.
New Orleans Is. as she should be. proud Of
this most eloquent and devoted divine.
The above paragraph, which we find in the
Galveston Neps, is q just tribute to one Of the
ablest divines and most self-sacrificing Chris
tans in this country. But there are other
ministers In this city who have made equal
sacrifices, whose names we think should be
mentioned in this connection. The Rev. Mr..
Kramer, the acting rector of Christ Church,
on Canal street, had obtained from the vestry
a leave of absence for two months being
his first season In New Orleans. Finding that
The yellow fever was prevailing he abandoned
all idea of recreation, and, though unacclim-
ated resolved to remain here and minister to
the spiritual wants Of the victims Of that
dread disease.
Without being invidous-for there are no
doubt many other ministers of different de-
nominations who have shown Oil equal amount
of Christian fortitude and heroism--we vii
mention the fact that the Rev. Mr.. Waters, of
st. Paul's Church, another unaccimated sub
ject who was absent at the North on q tour
for health and recreation, came back to New
Orleans so soon as he heard that the fever had
assumed u threatening fo1m. The names of
such men should be enrolled In the book of
heroes

Our agricultural department Is great in its
experiments. It has lately undertaken q
gigantic enterprise which, it promises, will
revolutionize the whole world through sugar.
Gen D. Leduc, Commissioner Of Agriculture,
has devoted the greater part Of his time and
attention to this sugar question. He even
deigned to consider Louisiana's possibilities
in this line, and to report that this State
could furnish the whole Union with all
the sugar it needed, il the levees wero only
repaired by the government. But as tho gov
eminent refused to do anything for the levees,
Leduc became Disguised with our slowness,
and began searching around for another and
more favorable field for his great enterprise
of sugar producing. We were first promised
sugar from beets, but after Investigating the
accounts of the various bankrupt beet sugar
manufactures, he gave this up and promised
us instead sugar from sorghum. The sorghum
sugar. however, failed. But like the beet
sugar. Leduc has at last discovered q substi-
tute for cane, and q very cheap substitute at
that-corn.
In 1873 q Mr.. Stewart of Westmoreland
Pa began experimenting with corn, seeking
to crystalline the juice extracted therefrom
into sugar. 1t is q well known fact that
cornstalks contain very large percentage
of sugar-nearly as much as the sugar
beet. The only difficulty has been to crystal
lie this Juice after it was extracted. Mr..
Stewart treated this corn juice In the same
way as cane juice, but failed TO make it crys-
tallize. Repeated attempts, however finally
brought success, and few months ago Stew
art was able to announce the manufacture of
sugar from corn. The process was simple
enough The juice was squeezed from the
stalk heated to 100 degrees and lined. I'm
| purities were removed with dioxide Of sui
phur and the syrup then thrown into a cooler
and allowed to crystalline, the draining being
performed by q centrifugal machine or other
modern process. 1t is claimed on behalf of
this discovery that it will not interfere in the
least with the gathering of the corn, as the
stalks are not treated for sugar until the ears
of corn have been removed.
Some Of the Western papers are disposed to
be quite happy over Leduc's official notice OF
the possibility of making sugar from corn
juice and are already predicting that within 8
few years Illinois and Missouri will be the
great ugar-producing States of the Union.

little footstep psttering on the floor,
A golden head laId gently on my knees;
A shadow dsrkening ali the earth and sky,
And life is sad and desolate to me.
Sweet lips half parted in a peaceful smile;
The light of God upon that baby brow;
hush upon the tiny waxen face
Our dsrings but a tender mem'ry now.
Our grief nigh spent, we try TO calmly think
To ask ourselves half sterny-Is ii right
That We should mourn that to eternal rest
Her infant form was laid by US to-Dik
In later years her footsteps might have turned
Aside from paths that point the heavenly gate
Perchsnce she might have heard the awful words ,
"fou cannot enter aow-too iate-too late"
And, nowi All, yesf our darling calmly sleeps
Earth holds for hef nor hope, nor greet nor loss.
Another life has gained tue pardon won
With such deep paid upon the bitter cross.
