No Shortage ia the Orange Crop

New YORK, Sept. o9.-The price Of
oranges and the supply are not likely to
be seriously affected by the fever in
Florida. Wholesale dealers at Washing
ton Market said this morning that the
State Of Louisiana alone will produce this
year at least 1900 boxes of oranges. The
supply from the West Indies is almost un-
limited. The Mediterranean ports can
also be drawn upon. The whole crop
might fail In this country and yet the
market here would not be seriously
embarrassed. The total number of boxes
of oranges handled annually is estimated
ut between L, 00O, ,OOo and 5000, 600.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-The trustees of the
Produce Exchange gratuity fund found
another forged mortgage amounting to
$25, 900, which makes Fosters defalcatiou
aggregate Sl93, 600 1t is believed that nc
further forgeries will be found. Foster
has t been traced. His property has
been attached.
The forgeries are the theme Of con-
versation on the exchange and there Is
considerable speculation as to what the
fugitive's father, one Of the Oldest mem
bers Of the exchange, would do in the mat
ter. The amount stolen is about If
teen per cent of the total fund.-
and unless the same is made good,
each member will lose about $l,20O. 1t is
believed, however, that Foster, ST., will
make good the loss. as it was through him
principally that his son was made counsel
for the exchange. A member OF
the exchange said he was aston
ished at Fosters action. He could not
understand how men having an income OF
$4,000 per annum. as Foster had, could be
so foolish to act as he did. At the death
OF his father young Foster, if he lived,
would undoubtedly get sl.000OO0 If he
wanted money he could have obtained il

From various sections Of the
State come faint rumors of dicker-
ing and trading the local officers,
coalitions with the Republicans,
and Democratic apathy as to the
fate ofthe State ticket. In the par
ish Of Plaquemines, as the result
of a combination made anterior to
the Democratic gubernatorial pri-
maries held last fall, by which the
Republicans were to help carry
the parish for Gen. Nichols, in
consideration of certain Locals Of
fees, the State ticket will, it is
said, be snapped off. In other
parishes great Indifference is said
to prevail among the people as a
whole. In the name of common
sense, what is the matter with oul
people? Have they not suffered
too much at the hands of Warmott
and his crew to permit theiI
apathy to jeopardize the interest
Of the Democratic party and thu
welfare and prosperity of Louisi
ana? Awake arouse, Democrats
anG. present a solid front to thu
common enemy! - The Suga

Loyalty tc Home Interests.

An exchange has the following
to say in regard to patronizing
home institutions and industries
Upon our loyalty to our town
depends its growth and prosperl-
ty. Each city and hamlet has its
advantages. A loyalty to these
advantages is its life. First, we
must in OUT trading and buying
patronize those trades and bust
nesses in our own city instead OF
going to neighboring or distant
towns. We are obliged to do
this, because if Out fellow-citizen
is doing his duty by US, he is
patronizing US in our business or
calling. If the clothing merchant
goes to another city for his stoves,
the hardware man is justified in
going to another town for his dry
goods. Should such things be-
come general in any way in one
town the dissolution Of that town
is not far off"
"In no other business in a city
more than a newspaper and print
ing business does this disloyalty
show itself, and no other business
in a city can be OF is mere loyal
to the town thaa the newspaper
and printing office. Should a
newspaper even a short time ig-
more The interest of the city If
which, it is published, a cry and a
complaint would go up from every
hand. If we for a moment STOP
to consider the injustice we are
doing when I'VE are going of tc
|another town to purchase our com
fort necessities; if we consider
that'we are disloyal to those who
have Joined in with us to build uE
a community, we will not do SC
unjust and disloyal an act. we
become traitors to those who are
loyal to us and to whom we are
under obligations to trade ane
traffic.

The louisiana Press Association
will convene at Opelousas on
Tuesday, May Ist. Every news
paper in the State will be repre-
sented, and many representatives
Of the press from abroad will avail
themselves of this opportunity of
visiting our section Of country.
The meeting promises to be the
largest ever held in this State, and
our neighbors of Opelousas, seeing
the benefits which may accrue %
this section Of country through its
influence, are making preparations
to give its gisitors a hearty Attaka-
pas welcome.
We feel assured, hat if the
proper steps are taken, the attend
ance Of the Association at our en-
broyo city, for one day at least,
can be secured, and it appears to
us, that it would be of incalcula-
bic be1atit to our future growth
and prosperity. could we succeed
in securing their attendance. 1t
would make us known throughout
the length and breadth of our land,
and might be the means Of bring
ing a bonanza to our midst. We
hope to see our citizens, one and
all, give this matter their most Sc
rious consideration, and take such
action in the premises as will re-
down to the well-being of our

It will not do to say that it is
contrary to the spirit Of our institu-
tons and laws to interfere with the
trusts. A better way to put ii
would be to say that the trusts are
anti American and not to be toll
Grated in a pure republic. 1t is
natural that the trusts and their
organs should raise the cry that il
they are not let alone the countr,
will lose its liberties. The people
will have to take care of that but
in the meantime the first thing te
be done is to get out ofthe clutch

lists. After we have regulated
