PLASTATIoN ECHoEs.-Messrs. Mccall
Bros. finished grinding tho crop Of their
magnificent Evan Hall place Wednesday
night. While the propriotors nre reti-
cent respecting the yield, We sre in
formed that it slightly exceeds 100000
pounds of sugar, while the nolaasas
filled 1900 hsr,els. We doubt il any
other place in the State will make as
large crop.
Besides handling their own crop, the
bsessrs. Mccall Bros. have been making
sugar from the syrup prodaced by tlnoir
noighbor and relative, Or. Richard Nc
Call on the McAaner place, tho syrup
being forced from the McAanor sugar
house to the Evan Hall refinery through
an underground pipe. As there Is still a
large quantity Of cane unground on Nc
Manor, q portion OF it is bsiug. haul>a to
Evan Hall and will be manipulated
there. Nj. Richsrd AcCall's yield is OK
peetsd to reach ], 900, GOO pounds, mag
ni6ceat aud richly deserved result Of the
young prop.ietoPs skill, energy aud
hard work.
Messrs. Lemann e. Hanson will finish
mp at their Peytavin place, just below
town, during the. coming week, and
estimate their yield .s o,ooo pounds,
including 100000 made from cane grown
on the Wallis or Dugas place, owned by
the same firm.
The seasons work st Gcdchaux's Sou
vcnir place will probably b concluded
tonight with yield Of ,ooo, COO pounds
from 900 acres Of cane, ~ average Of
3+45i pounds to the acre. Such figures
are hard to excel.
Mr.. Ben Gibson made 81 hogshe:ds Of
sugar from the 10 acres Of cane coasti-
tuting the remnant Of his crop saved
from the waters Of the Landry crevasse,
in excess OF tie smount required for
next seasons planting.
Aessrs. John and Will Kelly have
achieved an unexpectedly gratifying re-
salt on their Bocage place, having real
lied about 200 hogsheads. A greater
portion Of the cane on this place was
destroyed or damaged by the Landry
crevasse, and neither Mr.. Stevenson, the
late owner Of Bocage, or the Mcssrs.
Kelly, its present proprietors, had any
idea that the yield would Approximate
anything like 200 hogsheads.
Mr.. John T. Nolan got through this
week, according to expectation, and has
made q splendid crop. We have heard a
report to the effect that he obtained
GOO, 600 pounds of sugar from 1853 acres
Of cane, but the figures are SO large we
apprehend that about 100000 pounds of
sugar have been syruptitiously or

Mr.. Harvey F. Brnuot announced in
last weeks issue Of the Ascension Demo-
crct his retirement from the editorial
charge Of thst paper, and no doubt the
readers of tho journal were taken By sur
prise, ss Ar. Brunot only filed the posi-
ton eight weeks. He has returned to
Baton Rouge to resume the practice of
law, and We have no doubt that field Of
labor will prove more satisfactory in
every sense than the !eas fruitful one of
rural Journalism. Although we had
knewn Mr. Brunot only about three
months, We had already learned to esteem
him highly. Our personal relations with
him were from the FIRST Of the most
friendly character and babe fair to ripen
into pleasant intimacy, which will be
almost necessarily forestalled to great
extent By his departure from our vicinity.
We regret the severance Of his connec-
ton with the Democrat, because we felt
confident that as long as he remained in
editorial control the Donaldsonville pa
pers and their editors would maintain
respectful and friendly attitudes towards
each other, whatever might be their po-
litical differences. OF course we trust
and believe such state of affairs will
exist despite his withdrawal, bnt his
presence would, in our estimation, have
made the assurance doably sure. We
sincerely wish Mr.. Brnnot the most
ample success i'll the practice of his pro-
fession, and hope lie will have reason to
congratulate himself upon his narrow
escape from wearing the journalistic har-
ness for life. Once -donned, the rig is
hard to throw of, aud those who achieve
fame OR fortune in it are few and far
between.

To Pensioners.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some time ago you
published in the DAILY CHRONICLE
that the new board of pension exams
iners would meet on the first Wednes-
day of each month, instead of every
Wednesday, as had been the custom
of the old board. The order for the
reorganization of the new board was:
"a session of the board will be held
on the first Wednesday in each
month, and your informer, SO far,
was correct, whoever he may have
been, but great number of appii-
cants had been previously ordered
for .'any Wednesday, who had not
yet been examined, and we find that
others are still ordered for ..anv
Wednesday" So, at the last meeting
of our board, it was thought best. to
prevent any unnecessary inconve-
nience to pension applicants, that a
statement be made through your
paper that the board would hold
weekly sessions until further ordered
by the commissioners.
Yours, respectfully, &C.,
A. B. TADLocK,
Pres't Knoxville BIRD penn ex'rs.

knavishness or ignorance. The cities
of Memphis, Nashville. Chattanooga
and Knoxville will have a population
of one hundred thousand each, and
either of them will have wealth
enough to pay off the entire
debt as it now stands. In
add ton to the increase in our agri-
cultural products in the next quarter
of a century, the completion of new
railroad connections will develop our
coal fields and largely multiply our
iron products. And then, no man
will dare to defend repudiationist on
the ground of poverty.
But there is another class with which
we have less patience and who will
appear less favorable to future
generations than even those above
mentioned. We refer to those who
insist that no settlement of the debt
will be valid Or will stand unIess.it
is made by the Democratic party.
The idea that the question is SO parti-
san that it must be settled by par
tieular party is SO preposterous that
no man, ton years from now, will adj
NIT that he ever mentioned, much
less advocated, it.

Tribute OF Respeet.

On Monday evening the residents
of Eastport, near the city, assem-
bled in pursuance to a call made in
their respective churches on last
Sunday, at the Zion Methodist
Church, for the purpose of adopting
suitable resolutions in regard to the
! death of the Hon. Horace MAYNARD.
Rev, RATE Adams was elected
chairman, and Esau Yeti, Esq, Sec
rotary.
A committee of five was appointed
to present suitable preamble an d
resolutions, and after retiring the
following preamble and resolutions
were introduced and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Death having removed
from our midst the Honorable
Horace Maynard, in whom we ever
found firm and reliable friend, a
safe and true counsellor and advisor,
public benefactor, steadfast
advocate of public education, and
especially that of the colored people,
We deell it but our duty to pay to
| his memory this, our humble tribute
of respect, and our feelings of sym
! pathy and coincidence to his
bereaved widow and family,
and being assembled here Tonight
for that purpose, therefore be it
Resolved, That IN the death of the
Hon. Horace Maynard we, as a
people, have lost one of our best and
frmest friends that we will hold in
grateful remembrance his public acts
for our advancement to the rights of
American citizens, the aid and assist
ance he has always given to the
cause of our education, the interest
he has taken in our welfare, pros,
perity and happiness.
Resolved, That we will ever pre-
sent him to our children as one who
had no superior as to the qualities
of good man, and hut few equals,
and urge them to initiate the ex-
ample he left US, especially as to in
dustry, virtue, honesty and patriot
ism.
Resolved, That we hereby tender
to the bereaved widow and fam
lily our most heartfelt SYM
pathy and coincidence, having no
words herewith to express our grief,
we pray that the God in whom he
trusted and the religion he protested
and adorned, may prove to them the
source of consolation, looking for
ward to the time when they shall
share with him the enioyments of
heaven; where, by the grace of God,
we hope to meet him
The meeting was largely attended.
The proceedings ordered to be print
ed and a copy to be furnished to the
family of the deceased, for which a
committee of three was appointed.

TWO ABSURDITIES.

There are two classes of repudia-
tionists in Tennessee who will ap>
pear in very unenviable light in
the future. One is that class who,
either from ignorance or dishonesty,
insist that the State of Tennessee is
unable to pay her debts, on account
of poverty. When the census of
1880 is looked into, which shows
that the annual productions of the
State are S12,000,0OO in ex-
cess of those of Virginia,
and this fact is coupled with the fact
that Virginia pays tax ten per cent.
higher than would have been re-
CURED to pay the interest on our
State debt on the basis of the 1908
settlement, future generations are
apt to conclude that honesty was at
a discount in this our day. And it
can be explained in no other way.
The Savages, Wilson's, Markses,
Beasleys and ToIeys will have
been forgotten by that time;
and the craftsmanship which
leads men to repudiate public obi
cations, will no longer be a fac
tor in the process by which public
opinion is formed. The only plea
that will be taken will be that of

The assassination of Lord Caven-
dish, in Dublin, together with Sir
Thomas Burke, was most fendish
act, and very unfortunate for Ire
land. That country has been the
scene of civil disturbances of a grave
nature for several months. The Irish
people have been FESTIVE over what
they regarded as a disposition on the
part of England to Cypress them.
There is abundant reason for
the belief that their COM
plants have been well founded. But
they have made matters worse rather
than better by the manner of their
resistance, and now the foul assassia
nation of man who was their
friend is calculated to deprive of
them even the sympathy to which they
are really entitled. Caution and
prudence will be necessary to the
preservation of law and order.

A LARGE number of speeches were
made in the House of Representa-
tives on the tariff question. The
bill before the House was for the
appointment. of tariff commission,
but the discussion took wide range
and touched upon every phase of the
question, about which so much has
been said in the last half century.
The speeches made cover
many pages of the Congressional
Record, and were made by anti
tariff and tariff Democrats and anti
tariff and tariff Republicans Life is
too short for one to undertake to
read all of them. We have glanced
at several, and have discovered little
in the discussion that is new, though
some of the speeches made were able
and very creditable to those who
made them.
There is one thing in the history
OF tariffs in this country, beginning
with more than forty years ago, which
should be remembered, that is that
when the country has had protective
tariff the country has prospered, and
when it has not had it has been oths
erwise. 1t is well enough to pay
some attention to the lessons of hiss

forward no imaginary geographical
line will ever again be drawn to in-
