COL. !. P. GRAY vs.. W. II. oALKINs.

OOL. L. T. GhAh w. W. n. OALhlNts
FORT WAYNE, IND, Oct. THE
first of the series of four joint discus
sions upon the political issues of the
day between Hon. w. II. Calkins,
candidate for governor of Indiana ON
the Republican ticket, and Col |. p.
Gray, the Democratic candidate, was
held here this afternoon. A vast crowd
assembled in the courthouse yard to
listen to the debate which took place
from the stand.
Col. Gray on being introduced
by Hon. II. g. Bell made speech
OF an hours duration. The main ques-
ton discussed was the tariff. Col.
Gray arraigned the Republican party
for the system of imported labor under
contract, denounced the tariff as rob-
berry, but said that the Democratic
party was not in favor OF free trade.
He denounced civil service reform as
fraud, saying that the state OF Ohio
swarmed with Republican office
holders to carry the state for
Blaine. He arraigned the Republican
party for the decay of the American
navy, because under the tariff Ameri-
can ship builders cannot compete with
for, igners. He said that reform must
come through the Democratic party.
In reviewing Blaine's record he was
greeted with cheers which drowned the
speakers voice. During his speech
GRAY devoted considerable time to Mr..
Calkins' record In congress. Mr. Cal.
kins was then introduced by Col. r.
s. Robinson. lie opened by saying
that the Republican party does MOI
deal with the Issues of twenty year,
ago, but settles its issues as II goei
along, and Ia now desling with tn,
questions ofto-day. Quoting Col. Gray
speech at Richmond, Ind, March
1866, he said that IL was not the Repub
lican party which was responsible TO
the destruction of American commerce
but II was the Confederate cruiser
built In England and sailing the Con
federate flag which were responsible
for it's destruction. He said the Demo
cratic party had been advocating fire.

SUGAR SouIBs.-Grinding is over, we I'M
derstand, on every plantation in Ascension,
but on few places-New Hope, Clark and
perhaps one or two others-the work of
drying second and third sugars is not quite
concluded. New Hope sugar-house will
probably be the only one in the parish to
have steam up later than New Years day.
Mr.. r. NJ. Sandys, architect and chemist,
under whose supervision the new sugar
house was built and has been operated dur
ing the past season, claims that it requires
one-half less fuel to make 1000 pounds OF
sugar at New Hope than in any other sugar
| house in the State. The structure was put
ND in about six months, from Mr.. Sandys'
! own plans, and besides being creditable
specimen of architectural skill, it possesses
advantages and improvements that will
no doubt make it the equal if not the su-
perior of any mill in the State.
We are in receipt of three samples of the
sugar manufactured this season at New
Hope, being the first, second and thire
Qualities, or white, yellow clarified granu
lated in the vacuum pan and yellow clari
fed granulated in the hot room. They al
compare favorably with any samples VI
have seen of this years crop.
The salaries and wages of employees o.
sugar plantations are to undergo 'leav
reduction after the list of January. Mana
gers and their assistants are to suffer a re
duction of fifty per cent. as a general ruit
while the watchmen, host}ers, aaborers, etc
will be paid considerably less the comm
year than they have been heretofore. Th
, extraordinarily low prices brought by can
products have compelled our planters I
reduce their exp enses greatly or go by tt
board, and so far as we are informed thel
appears to be, general disposition on tt
part of employees to recognize the necessi1
for the cat and to accept the situation Wit
as gool grace as possible. Laborers are
, be ps.id from sixty to seventy cents per da
only the best of plowmen and field hant
to receive the latter figure. It is indeed
a dark hour for our sugar interest, but
q believe the cloud that hangs over us has
! silver lining and that there are bright
days ahead.

The Leap Year Hop,
| An Enjoyable and Successful Entertain

! An Enjoyable and Successful Entertain-
ment Managed by Young Ladies'.
| The leap YEAR hop given at Phoenix Hall
| Christmas eve under the management of a
| committee of young ladies', although yir-
tually an impromptu affair, met with a high
measure Of success and was just one of the
incest entertainments imaginable. The
managing and reception committees con-
sisted Of Misses Clara Heating, Adele Mol
iere, Ella Allain, Emily Mavor, Mary Gau-
Diet and Ida ALLAN, who performed their
duties in manner not to be excelled.
Guests were received at the head of the
| stairway and escorted to seats with ornate
courtesy and all through the evening the
ladies were most attentive to their mascu-
line visitors, being careful to see that none
Of the boys were neglected at refreshment
time and that even the least attractive and
most difident were afforded occassiona,
opportunities of participating in the
pleasures Of the dance.
Dancing was kept up until 1904 M. with
! occasional intermissin...;s for rest and re-
ffeshtnents.. Cake and light wines were
served under the supervision of Mrs. G.
, .Aearing, Mrs. J. Wildersen and Miss Ella
| Allan, and at midnight delicious egg
nogg was prepared with which to usher in
the birth of Christmas. The music for the
occasion was kindly furnished by Mrs
| M. A. Gaudet, and it is unnecessary to say
| that it was Of the best order.
/ Besides the ladies already mentioned
/ there we're present Misses Leila Pike, Marie

sides of the hall.

entertainment upon the handsome success
