THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

| The Hawaiian Treaty il operating
like boomerang upon the people
of the Pacific coast. They were
never satisfied until they had COM
mercial treaty with the Sandwich
Islands, by which sugar and rice
were admitted 70 this country free
of duty. BY this arrangement they
were enabled to purchase their
sugar supplies at about two cents
per pound cheaper than it could be
furnished them by Eastern dealers.
But their advantage was short
lived. The sugar business soon
fell into the hands of q monopoly.
The first step was to buy up the
railroad companies and cause them
to increase the rate of freight on
sugar from the East, rendering it
impossible to compete with the free
Hawaiian sugar. Having by this
course effectually cut off all other
sources of supply, the monopoly at
once increased the price of sugar to
figure higher than it was before the
import duty was abolished, and
they are now not only pocketing
the fees which formerly went to the
government, but are demanding ex-
tortionate prices from the small
dealers. We cannot say that we
sympathize with the victims. The
Hawaiian Treaty was direct blow
at the sugar planters of Louisiana,
who were thereby brought in COM
petition with the slave labor of the
Islands. 1.-THE price of sugar is run
up beyond the reach of ordinary
purses, the people of the Pacific
coast have no one hut themselves to
blame. The! wanted it, and fairly
clamored for it, and now they've
got 1t. We wish them, with their
free rice and sugar. all the Joy they
can get out of it. In the meantime
the monopolists are managing to
make living at the rate of thou
sands of dollars day.

Mrs. Miller is called upon to mourn
the loss of both her father and her

We understand that there are
several applications for the position
of teacher of the white public school
in Covington. Among the aspirants
for this responsible position, we
note the name of Miss Mary Kellar,
and. we take pleasure in presenting
her claims to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the School Board. Miss
Kellar has had considerable expert
ence as a teacher, and we believe
she has generally been successful
in her efforts to cultivate the un-
tutored minds of the young. We
do not believe the Board could
place the school in better hands, as
it is we'll known that Miss Kellar is
thoroughly competent to discharge
the duties of teacher lntelligently
and satisfactorily.

Senator Jonas says that th


Senator Jonas says. that the
closing of Bonne Care crevasse
will receive the attention af Con-
gress at its next session. We hope
that favorable action will had upon
the subject at an early day, as it is
the universal desire that this Gre
vase be closed as soon as possible.
The lake is gradually filing up
with deposits from the Mississippi,
greatly to the injury of commerce,
while the fresh water from the river
has virtually destroyed the fishing
in the lake, all the salt water fish
having fed to the Gulf. If for no
other reason than the restoration of
the lake to its pristine glory as the
finest fishing ground in the South.
the people will reioice at the closing
Of Bonnie Care crevasse.

The New Orleans papers want
lae Northeastern Railroad Com
pany to build an embankment from
Spanish Fort to Point-aux- Herbes,
instead of trestle work. They con-
tend that this would be much less
expensive to tue road, and would at
the same tire be of great benefit to
the city, enabling it to perfect its
system of protection levees, and
thereby add largely to the health
fuiness of the city. Perhaps it
would. At least it can do no harm,
and We promise to use our influence
with our friend, the Baron. the
next time we see him, and try to
have the desired change effected.

There are thousands of acres oil
vacant land in st. Tammary parish
that ought to be under cultivation.
Il can be purchased at a mere nomi-
nal price. If some enterprising man
were to purchase large tracts of it,
divide it up into small farming sec
tons, and tben make a present OF
each alternate section to any one
who would settle upon and cultivate
it. for specified length OF time,
he would soon find thai the balance
had increased in value to such an
extent as to enable him to realize a
large profit on his investment We
charge nothing for making this sug-
gestion. and hope somebody will
catch on to it. r. ....-t -.st

We hope the extra session will
make a sufficient appropriation to
enable to work on the Statehouse
at Batoa Rouge to be pushed for
ward with re-doubled vigor, so that
it will be habitable by the time the
regular session meets. We want
no more such thin excuses for the
meeting of that body in New Or
leans. Baton Rouge being Capital OF
the State, the Legislature should
meet in that city. The coming
extra session should have been call
ed to meet there. We have no
doubt they could find ample accom-
modations for short session out
side of the Statehouse, as there are
several large balls in Baton Rouge
we'll suited for the purpose.

Dr.. E. r. Roberts, of New Orleans,
is engaged in manufacturing butter
from cotton seed oil. He says that
one gallon of the oil makes seven
pounds of butter, and that it can be
sold for Is or 20 cents pound. DR..
Rorberts claims that the butter
is much superior to the butter
found in stores, because that it is
purer, while it contains the same
elements that pure butter does.
without the milk to make it grow
rancid and unpalatable. We see no
reason why good article of vegeta-
BILE butter, made of clean pure cot
ton seed oil, should not be more
palatable and healthy than the mys-
terious and vile compound known
as olemargarine, which is made of
all kinds of animal fat, and in q
short time becomes rancid and very
Objectionable, if not actually poi
sonous. Many persons are already
uping cotton seed oil in place of
lard, and find it much sweeter,
clearner and pure, than "hog
grease"

The st. Bernard Eagle advocates
the publication of the names of all
persons from whom taxes and IL
censes are collected. Onr sprightly
contemporary believes that it is the
only practicable method to prevent
extortion AMI the malapl reputation
of revenue. This not by any means
a bad idea. The people ought to
know where the money that they
pay for the support of the govern
ment goes, and it is only by this
method that it will be impossible
to divert it from it's destination.
The lawmakers should make a note
of this subject and call it up at their
next session. Legislators, chalk
that down in your memorandum
books.-WarksUiNe Bulletin.

TUEsDAY'slELEcT1ONs.

Our neighbor. Mississippi. went
Democratic last Tuesday, by about
80, 900 majority.
The result in New'York still re-
mains doubtful. Both parties claim
to have carried the State. The
latest returns indicate that there
will be tie in the Senate, and that
the Democrats will have q majority
of three in the House.
Connecticut went Republican,
but the Democrats have gained is
members of the House.
Kansas went Republican, as usual.
The election in Maryland was
carried by the Democrats. but the
Republicans have gained several
members of the House, from coun-
ties which formerly went Demo
cratic.
Massachusetts,, New Jersey. Min
nesota and Nebraska went Repub-
lican.
In Pennsylvania the vote was
very close, and the election is still
claimed by both parties.
The Democrats gained about
5000 votes in Wisconsin, but the
State went Republican.
A very small vote was polled at
the municipal election in Chicago,
bat the result was III favor of the
Democrats.
The Readjusters appear to have
elected their entire State ticket il

The, contract for building the
bridge across Lake Pon.chsrtrain
binds the parties to have the work
completed by December, 1882. 1t
will require from fifteen ito twenty
million feet of lumber, all of which
is TO be creose ted. For this pur-
purpose creosote. works will be
erected near the lake, in this parish.
We believe this bridge will prove
bonanza, during the coming year,
to our timber men and tar burners.

The bankers are sending blank
forms all over the country. of a pc
tition to Congress praying for the
repeal of the two-cent stamp tax on
bank checks. If it is the intention
Of Congress to remove any of the
burdens Of taxation, we suggest
that they first remove the tax on
matches. This is tax that bears
more heavily on the people than
the tax on bank checks. Every
body. even the poorest, have to use
matches, while a great majority Of
them never saw q bank check, and
have no use for them. We remem-
Der the time when matches sold for
"a cent a box" and that would
doubtless be the price now, if the
tax were abolished. This act would
be hailed with rejoicing throughout
the land. So far as we are con-
cerned, Individually. the tax on
bank checks bears very heavily
upon our resources, but we are will
ing to stand the strain, at least .un-

where her share will come in and
how much it will amount to.
