An Ink.sunger Captured.

"Jack, the Ink-Slinger," at New
York, has been captured. 1t is esti-
mated that he has ruined no less than
$50 handsome dresses in the course
of his nefarious work. He is an EN-
ploye in one of the car stables, and is
a man OF family. He would lie in
wait for a well-dressed woman at
streets near the opera houses and
theaters, and would spatter the fluid
so that the dress was irretrievably
ruined.

A SILVER VOICE.

The nations cry is Of sorest need,
But ous s~ervitors sit and take no heed;
Idly sit, while the people cry,
For lack OF the life blood, We faint, we die.
Yet dealing their loaves and fishes out,
Our servant sit. deaf TO q peoples shout;
Thirsting we lie on a rivers brink;
But our masters say we shall not drink.
Out on the pitifnl, paltering crew,
That would shut their ears while the millioI
sue;
" Open the cave where the gold-dust shines,
Give us the keys OF the silver mines.

rHEsrATE SILVER CONVENTION.

The State Silver Convention, at Car.

representative men from all the coun.
ties In the State, except Churchill and
Lincoln. Many of the ablest men in both
political parties were present, and the
sentiment was unanimous for free coin.
age, and almost unanimous in request
ing our Senators aud Representative in
Congress, to support no other measure.
Mr.. Fitch, who with ext Congressman
Warner of Ohio. addressed many audi
ences in the South and West last Win.
ter on the silver question, stated to the
convention that it would be abandoning
our allies, the farmers OF the West and
cotton planters Of the South, to accept
anything less than free coinage. They
want legislation that will make money
p~lentier and cheaper, and will derive no
benefit from a law that at best car only
enhance the market price Of silver bull
ION a few cents. Without their assist
snce in Congress the silver producing
States are powerless. They are stand
ing nobly with the miners, and the
miners should not desert them for a
measure that may be Of temporary bene.
6t to them, when they are united they
can compel compliance with their just
demands. "Free coinage or nothing"
was the rallying cry Of the bullion pro-
lucers in the convention, and a motion
to strike from the resolutions the clause
requesting our Senators and Representa-.
tive to support no measure but free coin.
age. though ably and eloquently advo-
,ated by Hon. Thomas Wren Of Eureka,
did not receive half q dozen votes.
The opinion prevails that q decisive
majority Of both Houses Of Congress ia
vor free coinage Of both gold and silver.
The impression has been made by men
who have taken pains to ascertain the
sentiments Of Senators and Representa-
tives on the subject. The farmers Of
the West, the planters of the South, as
well as the people of Nevada, believe IL.
hence the convention could not be de-
TERED from demanding free coinage, and
free coinage only. though an attempt
was made to arouse partisan feeling
against the demand on the pretext that
the resolution covertly censured not only
the Administration but the Nevada dele.

.. 81, e., St. Martinville. La, +,
My attention has been recently called
to an editorial arlcle, in your issue Of
the eight inst on Central Refneries."
Ip the article named you do great in
Justice to Mr.. ]. B. Levert. owner Of ST.
John Plantation, end your extensive
'ciredMtion amopg the state. exchanged.
has served to increRse the degree Of this
injustice as the editorial has been re-
published in other .paE9ra. specially de-
veted to The sugar industry.
You make an unfair comparison I'm
stating that whils st. Johns factory
gives Srt $3.50 per ton fox cane, the Kew.
stone Plantation under the management
Of Mr. J. Peters. pays t4.OO per ton.
Then, after saying how much a poor
darksy you'd hAye. lost by hauling the
product Of bio little cane patch to st.
Johns instetd Of to Keystone, you charee
the st, Johns factory. with having too
DEFECTIVE nEchinery to work up cane
products p hn equal, value with Kew
stone comparative ouk7rt. L..
The cold fdcts Of the case, which you
aingul.fS Saa1cd to mention, are. these:
st. Johns receives its cane paid for by
the ton hden IT'S avn tenantry.
1t furnishes, them the most highly i'm.
proved and well drained lands. 1t fur
nishes Its temantry corn lands and PAS
ture lands In addition to cane lands.
1t pays taxes on such lands while it fur
nislles its tenantry with dwelling, all
needed out buildinges. fences etc., keep
ing tife5e II good repair, while its pro-
prietor advances his tenants necessary
finances. provision, team feeds, fertili-
zers etc., that their work Of cultivation
may be done to their best advantages ss
we'll as to hit.
think all these compensations, moro
than offset the difference in the price
Of cane between st. Johns and keystone,
while further, I learned that the pror
prietor OF Keystone will not lease lands
to tenants. but prefers 10 cultivate his
own lands, and let those who choose to
sell him cane look put f"r their lands
themstlvee and CARRY Gu theit own crops
as best they can.
Finally 1 will say that when contracts
were made with the St. jqIm,s .teuap-
try. they were on changing scale with
the price Of sugar, and were originally
made on basis OF over three dollars pei
ton value with all the compensations
named.
Unfortunately. beth, landlord and
