A Prosperous Firm.

AS will be seen in the announcement
IN this issue of The Republican and
Leader, the Pamperin & Wiggenhorn
Cigar company will change from a
wholesale and retail trade to a strictly
wholesale business.
The factory was started by John Pam
perrin twenty-five years ago, and five
years ago the firm of Pamperin & Wig
genhorn was formed. The firm has
been remarkably prosperous. Seventy
two hands are employed, and the de-
mand for their goods is very large, ex-
tending to Manitaba, through Western
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and the
two Dakotas. Their factory is great
addition to the business of La Crosse.
Sklllful workmen are employed, be-
sides many boys and girls who make
good wages as "strippers" and assist
ants in the work.
Before the extra tax was placed on
Sumatra leaf tobacco the firm pur-
chased $4,000 worth, showing not only
their business ability and enterprise,
but their good financial standing. Their
storerooms are filed with stock, and
visit to their place convinces one that
1T is prosperous and substantial con-
cern. In going out of the retail busi-
ness they do so for the reason that their
wholesale business has reached such
proportions that it requires all their
time and attention.
La Crosse has many institutions
which are building up the wealth of the
city, and one of them is the Pamperin
& Wiggenhorn Cigar company La
Crosse Republican and Leader.

In the absence Of the Chairman and Vice.
Chairman, Councillor FaOer as senior

communication from the Chairman to the
effect that pressure of official duties would

took the chair.

mark, however, that thev,dn regard to the

cattle disease, thought sit would have
been more correct, had this Draft been
submitted to the Colonial Council! before
the amounts had been expended"
The last item was the Budget, the items
of which were passed without much dis,
scussion. Lawyer Stakemann proposed,
and Mr.. Syitzer seconded, that one or two
Post Boxes should be placed in those
narts of the towns most distant from the
Post Office; His Excellepcy the Governor

We publish this morning a short sketch
from the Demerarn Ar6osy Of a discussion
which has recently taken place in regard
to the Introduction Of a variety OF SUGAR
cane called the "Caledonian Queen into
ST. Kits. This variety appears to have
given great satisfaction in that island, and
we should be glad to learn whether 1t has
ever been introduced into st. Croix, and
what is known about it here.
Speaking of this variety of cane reminds
us of something else which we RECENTLY
read, namely that a quarter of an acre OF
a variety called the 'Keni KEMP had been
grown by q planter in Barbados with re-
m~arkablY good results and we would also
ask whether anything is known OF that
variety of cane in ST. Croix.
The sugar cano is to the grower only q
living machine for manufacturing sugar
out OF air and water, and there is no doubt
that all varieties are not equally good ma
chimes. 1t is as necessary to find out and
procure the best machines for the field as
it is to find out and procure the best ma.
chimes for the boiling house.

The Dominica Dial publishes q letter
from DR.. Boon, St. Kits, in which he
retutes the statement of Mr.. Morris, for.
>merly OF jamaica, now junior director at
Kew, to he effect that the sugar cane
"Calrdonian Queen" was introduced into
st. Kits 10y Captain Berkeley Of that
island. Ia a letter published in November
the Doctor had diSproved the statement,
but Mr.. Morris had taken offence at the
correction, and III a reply to DR.. Boon,
wtich is also published in the Dial, he
ridicuies the evidence ad duced TO disprOve
his statement, says Dir. Boon has "a very
poor case indeed" and hol lis to his asser.
ton thai to Captain Berkeley belongs the
credit Of the introduction, How Mr..
Morris could have fallen into this error
which he refuses to let go, is hard to un-
dcratand, after a perusal of a letter by
Captain Berkeley 10 DR.. Boon, which is
also Published III full. The Captain says
that when he found he was credited by
3ir. Morris with ha ying introduced the
cane, lie wrote at once to him and explain
ed that the cane had been introduced by
Mr Reid. II have alsO," says the Cap.
tam, ''awice i'll my place in the Legisla.
tive Council publicly disclaimed any ere.
''dj. for its introduction and stated that
L Cbl1l9OAA0 &AA ~ DAOIjA tGLOA6 ais iuS
"debted to the late Mr.. ReidS energy in
FURNISHING us'' with the cane. This is
conclusive testimony, and Mr.. Morris will
now be compelled to acknowledge the Just.
ness Of DR.. Boon's contention. AS o
matter Of fact, the Caledonian Queen,
which has been q favourite in st. Kits
for a dozen years or so, can be traced
back in the agricultural annals of the West
Indies for fully a hundred years. Mr..
Morris does not seem to be aware of this,
nor does he seem to be as intimate az we
should have expected him to have been
with the cane itself. He says that the
Caledonian Queen the Mamuri and RappOe
are one and the sane cane. This fact was
first made clear by Mr.. Jenman, our Go.
vernment Botanist, and published in his
report for 1888. But Mr.. Morris does not
seem to know that there are at least two
distinct canes OF the name of MaInuri: and
believing as he did hat the cane known in
jamaica by the name of Mamuri, was the
Caled0nlan Queen, he sent it to Barbados.
where It's beggarly qualities were SO quick.
~ exposed, that all the plants were de.
stroyed to prevent. reproduction; and tho
cane was thereafter referred to isarcastical.
ly as "MOrriSS trIumph",-as we gather
from MIR. Harris0n's official reports. Mr..
Morris it must be admitted has not been
happy in his efforts to write the history or
to propagate the culture of the queen Of
grasses, and Dr.. Boon has acted with as
proper Judgment in correcting the error
iii hiStocy referred to above, as the BarbA.
dos authorities displayed when they de.
stroyed the rubbish that was sent to them
in error, under the title of the Caledonian
Queen-DemerarG ATg0sy.
