AND TO THE POINT,

Warrington Is. Landry Advocate.
II Louisiana does not grant .
charter some other State will, for
they are on the alert. By accept
ing the proposition Of Mr.. Morris
the State can be placed in q condi-
ton financially to provide for her
different governmental necessities +;
half . million dollars per annum
added to our revenues means longer
terms for our public schools, to
maintain in = satisfactory way our
l~evees, to take care OF the insane.
to keep the Charity Hospital in q
fiourishing condition, and in general
put Louisiana in the front rank. The
State receiving monthly foreign
capital.
There is one principle which is
always . sawueQardc to . State or q
lOcality-it is to put the following
in practice: "Never let the money
60 out ; keep it 1t home" Actual
", the business men Of New Or
leans, IS well IS those Of the coun-
try, understand too well the situa-
ton not to give their moral support
to maintain the Lottery Company
in Louisiana. The masses are also
directly interested; let them look
into the proposition Of Mr.. Morris
in . business-like way and they will
detect that the result will be reduc-
ton in assessment and taxation, and
many other things which will open
their eyes. Many men by the inlu-
ence Of others are opposing the
Lottery Company without knowing
that they " working against their
private interest.
Our State is in need Of funds ;
she will not assuredly refuse that
splendid offer. The representatives
Of Louisiana are men endowed with
broad views, and they well UNDER
stand the value or the proposition.
Even prohibition does not pro-
hibit: We would see > dozen or more
one horse institutions selling lottery
tickets underhand, which, instead
Of yielding some material benefits
will prove q serious drain upon the
financial resources Of the people.
II the proposition of Mr.. Morris is
not accepted We will he left in the
cold-Our money will 60 to enrich
some other State. That is the
whole thing In. . nut shell.

A Northern paper has expressed
the hope that Louisiana will not re-
new the charter of the Lottery Com
pany, ''because it is the means OF
causing SO much Northern money
being sent to Louisiana every
month";" That's one reason why
the people are going to vote to keep
it here. Plenty Of money makes

THE SUGAR BOUNTY

A Washington special to the
Tmes-D Democrat, April %, says:
Tie Louisiana sugar planters
have found another objection to the
sugar schedule proposed by the
Mckinley tariff hill, which is that
no bounty shall be paid on sugar
p~olarizing less than IS degrees, the
present Law making the duty begin
at IS degrees.
The claim il made that no open
kettle sugar ever tests that high,
which would prevent . large pro-
portion OF the planters in Louisiana
deriving any benefit from the boun-
ty, - it is too late to build central
this year. It has been
that the proposed sched-
ule be SO changed that the bOun-
ty OF two cents . pound be given
to Ill sugar the first year after the
passage Of the act, and two cents
} pound on al sugar testing IS
degrees thereafter.
Mr.. Price had . consultation to
Law with Gov. Clear on this sub
iect. Gov. Clear stated that the
committee were obliged to take
'ome figures IS . starting point,
md took IS degrees instead Of Is
in order tO encourage the
planters to make . high
Z grade Of sugar. Mr.. Price viii
.ndeavor to have the bill amended
o meet the objection above refer
ed to.

The Monroe Telegraph bulletin
widens the scope Of the all-prevad-
ing lottery discussion BY the follow
ing suggestion:
On the other hand, II it Is abeo-
.lutely necessary to have > lottery,
il the State is too poor to educate
her children, too poor to maintain
her ~levees, then BY all that is busi-
ness-like let the state 60 into the
lottery business herself. She could
run the lottery cheaper than the
present company. and therefore
make more out Of it than the fab
ul0us sums realized by Nj. Morris
and his associates. This IL Is we
view it - . business proposition.
While the financial benefits to the
State might undoubtedly be thus
the lottery would be
kept ''in politics" In . direct and
quite Objectionable way. On the
other hand, Mr.. Morris's PROPOSE
lion, made to yield al there is in it,
put the business on . per-
manent and protected footing that
take it out Of politics alto

GOOD A A NECESSITY.

College professors and civil en-
gineers are directing public atten-
ton to the subject Of country high
ways, and the Vanderbilt Universe
ty, Tennessee, has gone SO far rs to
provide for the free instruction in
road engineering Of one person
from each county in that State. The
Baltimore Sun, which is agitating
the question in Maryland, points
out the power required to draw .
wagon weighing, With its load, one
ton on . level, macadamized road
OF broken stone is sixty-five pounds,
which Is increased to two hundred
pounds on . common dirt road.
Professor Ely, OF Johns Hopkins
University estimated that poor roads
cost the farmer ON an average Of
SIS per horse, and Professor jerks.
Of Knox College, Illinois, argues
that with COOL permanent roads
freight could be hauled ten miles
on wagons cheaper than it could be
taken one mile on . dirt road to =
railroad station, unloaded, put ON
the cars and carried to its destina-
ton. OF the social influences Of
good roads he says that "a large
part OF the mental inspiration Of a
farmer depends on their ability to
attend church lectures, concerts.
and social gatherings at = distance,
and really good roads, by enabling
them to 60 90 much more easily,
would likely raise the whole intel-
lectual tone Of the farming commu-
nifty, besides keeping in the health
ful influence Of the farm many who
are now forced into the towns"
