OUR STAPLE PRODUCTS.
New Orleans City Item.1


The three specific agricultural IN.
dustries of this State are sugar, COZ"
ton and rice, but there are large
possibilities lying in other direc-
tons.
Ever since Jean Etienne Bore
raised his first crop of sugar. cane
in 1895, and converted its saccha-
rine sweets into a merchantable
product, the ambition OF Louisiana
has been to furnish sugar for this
entire continent. The methods OF
conversion were, however, wasteful,
as usually, from fourth to third
of the saccharine value ofstthe cane
was left in the bagasse. But of late
the attention of scientific men has
been directed to,a correction OF the
conditions and processes through
which this waste occurs. OF the
many plans adopted, it is claimed
that the one introduced.sby Mr..
Bonnefn stands highest, on ac-
count not:only of its economy, but
of its more satisfactory results. It
does away with the cane mill en-
tirely, and in its stead uses what is
called a "pulpifactor." This re-
duces the cane into fine pulp, all
the juice cells being completely
broken. The substance thenspasses
between two small rollers, and the
whole of the sweets are pressed out
leaving the woody fibre in a COM
paratively dry state. 1t is further
claimed that by this process all
operations. from the time that the
cane is placed in the pulpifactor to
that of the capitalization of the
sugar, do not occupy more than An
hour. II what is claimed for this
process be well founded. it will pro.
duce a revolution in the cane sugar
industry, for it will take not only
all that is valuable from the cane,
but do SO with great economy OF
time, labor, fuel and machinery
Hitherto what has been wasted.
and what has been expended ON
unsatisfactory methods, have oper-
ated seriously to the disadvantage
of our sugar industry. Remove
these drawbacks, and our sugar
plantations would become,mines OF
wealth.
In cotton, this State furnishes
the highest average prodact leg
acre of any of the large cotton
States, and will probably continue
to do'so. acknowledgements Ter
tility of large portion of our cot.
ton lands.
As to the rice industry, it is I'D
vancing with more rapid strides
than any other State can boast al.
and the possibilities for its enlarge
ment are almost illimitable.
AS to orange culture, it received
a very severe check through The
destructive action of frost in Tia
fall of 1880. We have, therefore,
comparatively no crop this season,
But our people should not be too
easily discouraged. Fruit crops IN
over the country are precarious.
and so severe frost as that of 1881
may not again be experienced IN
half century. By adopting an i'm.
proved system of orange oultars.
budding the wild stems with the
best varieties, a profitable orange
orchard may be produced in 0 Tow
years.

Esq, of this parish, was thrown
from his buggy land fatally hurt.
He fingered until the 30th, when

years, and raised a worthy and re-

a number of important official posi-

charitable man and good citizen.

shall receive not less than four
dollars per day and "actual travel

amounted to much more than their
actual travelling expenses. The

The Citu Item wants the officers
of the State to enioin the appropria-
ton for continuing the construction
of the State House at Baton Rouge,
and says the act is clearly uncon-
stitutional. According to the pres
emit constitution, however, the Gen
eral Assembly are especially in
structed, by article $50, to make the
necessary appropriations for the re-
pair of the State House. and the
transfer of the archives of the State
to Baton Rouge. It is therefore
clear to us that the act is not uncon-
under this constitution.

DUTY OF THE vOTER AND THOSE
WHO COUNT THE VOTES.

There are some provisions of the new
election laws that it will be well Tor
both the voters and commissioners OF
election to heed.
We note some of the more import
ant: \
1. The polls must be open as soon as
practicable after sunrise and be closed at
sunset.
2. Every voter must be a bona .fds
resident of the district in which he offers
to vote. cd, .g,........s r-n..r -
8. No ballot can be received that has
any visible mark or device intended to
distinguish it from any other ballot.
4. II two or NOR e ballots with differ
emit names on them be rolled together,
both must be destroyed-also, if any
ballot contain more than the proper
number of names for any office.
5. Counting the ballots shall begin as
soon as fifty votes are cast.
6. 1t is unlawful to print or circulate,
or to furnish to any voter any irregular
tickets, unless the irregular names be
printed in italics, so that the voter may
easily distinguish that it isnot a straight
ticket. fla name is pasted ona regu-
lar ticket it must be printed in red ink
Z. There are also very stringent pro-
visions against intimidating, treating,
bribing or directly or indirectly infiu-
encing voters by any improper meth
DDS.
Those who are handling the HUB
BELL fund in this city might profit by
reading the section on bribery.

WHY VOTERS SHOULD VOTE.

Mr.. NJ. ID. HARTER, of Mansfield, o.,
who is widely known as one of the larg-
est manufacturers in Ohio, Is making a
series of speeches in that State against
the corruption of the times, and in sup
port Of the Democratic ticket and re-
form.
They are among the best campaign
speeches we have read. They come
from a practical business man who is
not seeking political honors or Office,
and who believes what he says.
We give the following closing para
graph of one of his speeches:
my Republican friend, l ask you to join
the Democratic party. Its views are con-
stitutional and its policy safe. 1t asks
equal rights for all men and special priv
ileges for none. II cannot offer you Office,
as it is in the minority in State and nation,
but il offers you the privilege of fighting
for correct principles and of serving your
country grandly. 1t is poor and cannot
pay you with money, but it can pay you
with the consciousness that you are on the
right side of all great questions, and some
day you will see it triumph gloriously
over the whole land, for the hour
approaches when, If the Democratic party is
true to itself and the glorious principles
upon which it is founded, it will see itself
in the forefront, and trusted again with
1900. ,..ksnb "a ill r,;alJ =, ,,oh q ,,,or a..
