INDICATED.

CHIEF last Fall III advocating the selec-
ton of Senator Kellogg to Congress from
this district, it would be removed by the
recognition which his great services in
behalf Of the most valuable interests OF
the district and State are receiving at he
hands Of the people and the press without
political distinction. The main point
which we urged III Mr.. Kellogs's favor
/ was the ability and potent influence he
might be confidently expected to exert
iii the then approaching contest for the
maintenance of a protective tariff on our
principal agricultural products, sugar
and molasses. That succeeding events
have amply justified our Judgment i'll
tue premises will be incontrovertibly
proven by the subjoined excerpts from u
few of the many compliments from indie
pendentan and Democratic sources showered
upon our going Senator and incoming
Representative.
At the recent annual meeting Of the
| Louisiana Sugar Planters Association It
resolution was unanimously adopted
recognizing and expressing the thanks
Of the Association the great services
rendered i'll behalf of the sugar interests
of Louisiana by Senator Kellogg, in
common with other distinguished gentle
men named in the resolution.
The Alexandria Democrat, one of the
oldest Democratic journals in the State,
endorses the statement Of the, Thibodaux
! Sentinel that
| The sugar planters of Louisiana are indebted
| to Senators Jonas and Kellogg for the splendid
| efforts in the Senate of the United States in
| preventing the reduction OF the tariff on sugar.
Tie Sentinel, which vigorously opposed
Mr.. kellose's election, thinks that he
/ observes the more credit because lie
abandoned his own party Oh this ques-
tom" "Senator Kellogg, by his Jealous
efforts i'll laboring to protect tie sugar
interests OF Louisiana, is heaping GOALS
of fire on the heads of his Democratic
enemies," said the independent Terre-
bonnie Times, pending the session of
Congress that came to close three
weeks ago.
While the closing events of the MEM
orable tariff fight were transpiring, the

The State was never more effectually represen-
ted III the Senate than this winter.
One Of the few papers that have con-
sistently refused. to recognize the title of
Mr.. Kellogg as Senator is the Louisiana
Sugar. Bo,cl, and there was perhaps but
one other Journal in the district that OPP
posed Lis election to the House with
equal bitterness; but even from such Ii
source the good work of our retiring
Senator extorted this significant con-
cession:
Mr.. W. P. Kellogg is making an earnest fight
IN the United States Senate for the protection
VI oul Ifula1diid sugar interest, and
thankful to him for copy of the Congressional
record which contains able defense made
by him of the leading industry of this State.
When he takes his seat IN the lower house of
Congress. at its next session, his efforts in be-
half OF our peoples interests Will be more
heartily Endorsed by u.s. for then we will feel
that he is deserving of certain amount of
recognition.
In Il leading editorial article, the
West Feliciana Sentinel saws:
With the adjournment of the Forty-sayenth
Congress. Mr. Kellogg lost his grip upon the
seat IN the Senate which partisan majority
awarded him. 1t is not our intention here,
however, to say aught against the gentleman.
On the contrary, we feel inclined to give him
due praise for what he has done in the Senate

can be no doubt that the people of Louisiana.
