Not THE GRANT MONUMENT PLAN
THE COMMITTEE HAS NOT YET MADE DE-
CIsIoN AND THE PUBLICATION
wAc INCORRECT

The publication yesterday Of the Grant Monument
plans which were alleged to have won the premiums
was According 10 the secretary OF the fund, prem aturc
incorrect and unauthenticated. No in fat was
more surprised than Professor Bicharl r. Gr2ener
himself. Although he had heard week or more
ago that It the Intention OF the paper to publish
the plans. he was convinced he said, tina, rhS would
DOT be done, as he said tho time that tho decision
had not bean made.
About May - said the secretary, the committee
talked the advisablity of giving public cN
hbidon Of the plans 1t was finally decided In
the affirmative and some arrangements were made with
that end In view. In the meantime a photographer
of this city made proposition that met with
the approval OF the committee. 1t that he should
take photographs of the various desl gns, sell them,
and by giving the committee certain percentage OF
the receipts, help in that way swell the monument
fund" The photographs were takens but after ar
rangements had been made for the exhibition the COM
mittec learned that they in the same position as
the committee of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral
recently that without the permission of the architects
themselves they could not exhibit the plans. That
settled the plans according TO the secretary for the
time being. But about May 49, he added, ten or
twelve illustrations Of The designs appeared I'm The
Graphic' When asked whore they were obtained the
ediors said from a newspaper syndicate of this city.
No authority other than this was given. Now It Is
absurd to say that the members of tho expert COM
mittee would reveal their decision to the plans
They are honorable men and would not give any such
news to The public without authority. But the CLASH
fcaton itself proves that they were not so obtained
The whole thing IS mere guesswork. We shall not
be ready TO give the plans as decided upon Tor
premiums to the public for another month yet at
least. number Of things must be done before mat
is possible. Then they will be published We de-
sire to get the sign decided upon a. soon as
possible for we believe that subscriptions Will come IN
rapidly when the people once know what kind OF
a monument we intend to build The committee
I'm reaching conclusion naturally are cautious. me
estimates of the various architects must be VTlfled
among other things The dcsigne.s are likely To
underestimate the cost Of construction
The aid offered by the Grand Army IS OF course
welcome There has been such a drain on the
purses Of the people of late that # IS little wonder
thar the Grant Fund has not grown more rapidly.

Silk, unless good silk, is the poorest
lining garment can have. A fabric
with cOttOn-back and silk-face looks
and feels better than pure silk, but
wears wretchedly. The silk serges we
use for body Innings and the satin
sleeve-linings are pure and can be de-
pended on for service; but these real
things are more expensive than shams,
hence our silk-lined Fall OvercOats sell
for 500 to S32, according to quality of
cloth. Others lined with Italian cloth
cost from so to $25.
Our Fall Suits are chiefly in just
such neat, genteel patterns as one
observes on the best dressed men about
town. Rightly-made, SIS to $50.

Gen. Sewell and Mr.. Chas. john
son, both of whom have considera-
BILE farms near the city of New
Orleans planted in jute and ramie,
have lately given the results of
their experiments. From their
statements it appears that, even
with the rude and imperfect ma
chimes for decorticating and gum
washing that have thus far been
perfected, the profit in this industry
is something wonderful. Two crops
are secured each year, on which
the profit is stated to be about $400
per acre, and even this magnificent
result it is expected to be surpassed
as soon as the machinery for its
handling has been improved upon
and still further perfected. 1t will
be well for our people to begin to
make minute inquiry as to this in
dustry. Some interest in the matter
was manifested in Grant parish two
years ago, but it appears to have
died out altogether.

The Louisiana State Fair and
Shreveport Exposition will present
its fourth annual exhibition at the
city of Shreveport, beginning Tues
day, the 9Th day of October, and
ending Monday, the 14th. Past ex-
perience enables the management
to enlarge the scope of usefulness
and attractiveness of the various
exhibits of our agricultural and
other products, and increase the
premium lists to the highest point
of liberality. Better crops, fatter
and better cattle, larger and strong
er work animals, and encourage
ment in all industrial pursuits, is
the sure outcome of these annual
exhibits. Everybody should raise
something for competition, or send
something useful or attractive to
exhibit, and go to Shreveport du-
ring Fair week. An immense null
titude of attractions are engaged
by the management that will prove
instructive as well as amusing.
Competitive prize and exhibition
drills Of the crack military compa-
MES of the Southwest will be a
grand feature of the Exposition.
A special committee are now per-
fecting arrangements to entertain
them. Trotting, running and pa
cling races have an unusual number
of entries of the fastest horses.

The Begging Question.

IL
Editor Times Democrat:
1t is evident that there is a concerted
effort being made on the part OF those
interested in keeping down the value of
cotton to misrepresent the results that
will follow the enforcement of the reso-
luton adopted at the convention OF the
cotton exchanges here and befog and be-
wilder the farmers skill further as regards
the merits and dement's Of the proposed
and existing rules governing the tare
question.
From the very fact that the opposition
to the sale of cotton by net weight is
strongest on the part OF buyers and ex-
porters the farmer naturally suspects
that the proverbial Ethiopian is concealed
in some part of this particular woodpile.
1t does seem strange that cotton buyers
should object sc strenuously to having to
pay for twenty -four pounds less weight
on every bale of jute covered cotton than
they are being charged for to-day.
As far as is known cotton buyers are
not generally So philanthropic as to refuse
an allowance Of twenty -four pounds per
bale for any essential reasons, and it is
perfectly certain that they understand
their own interests thoroughly, SO that it
may be taken for granted that they see
their way to making more money under
the present system Of tare than under the
twenty four pound and sixteen pound
rule.
Every one knows now that while no
deduction in weight has been made TO
cover tare on cotton, deduction in price
has been invariably, though unwillingly,
submitted to by the producer to protect
the buyer in this respect. and whether
the deduction be applied to the weight or
the pnce the result to the producer is the
same, for buyer with purchasing limit
OF 10 cents per pound Of actual cotton
pays to-day only 10 cents, less per cent
for gross cotton, or $40 cents per pound.
A 5O0-pound bale, gross weight, at GAO
cents, will bring SAT, and 500 pounds,
less 6 per cent, 40 pounds net at 10
cents, will bring s47. To compare the
existing 6 per cent tare on price and the
new fixed tare OF "a pounds per bale, it
will be more convenient to assume that
the deduction in both cases is made from
the weights. The 6 per cent allowance
was adopted when the average bale Of
cotton weighed about 400 pounds, and
when yards Of 2-pound jute bagging
were more generally used than is now
the case.
The six ties and seven yards Of bag
ging made twenty-four pounds tare or 6
per cent on 400-pound bale. This tare
was adopted by the buyers themselves,
and was quite satisfactory to them then,
and is still more satisfactory to them now.
For the average weight OF the bale of
cotton has increased steadily, and last
year it reached about $50 pounds, while
the percentage allowed Tor rather appro-
priated) for tare has remained unchanged.
Six par cent on 500 pounds is thirty
pounds of Z deducti0n for tare, a. against
twenty -four pounds on 400 poundA Now
