The pauperism in Louisiana is not a
drop in the bucket compared with
that in New York, the State OF which
Mr.. Morris claims to be a citizen why
don't he go there and run. a lottery ?
It would require more seffrontery"
than even he is possessed off, to make
the proposition there that he has
made here but then he considers
Louisiana the "little end of nowhere,
he thinks he can buy this State as he
has done before, and that New. York,
the State he elects to be a citizen of, is
beyond price-it would seem that even
he is ashamed to be citizen of Louis

IAN article in the City Item says
T"the financial lnagnates of New York
are making great effort to estop any
further legislation by Congress, look
ing to an increased coinage of silver.
Among others appealed to, they soli-
cited aid from the New Orleans bank
ers." At meeting of the bank pre-
sidents, it was discovered that the
Clearing House members were divided
on the subject and there. was no def
mite action Tt will be recollected that
the silver bill has passed the Senate,
and is now before the House J; the OBJ
ject of the New York z financial mag
mates" was to have the New Orleans
banks petition the Louisiana members
of Congress to oppose the. passage OF
the silver bill, and of course the same
plan is being pursued in all the States.
How such a petition might affect the
congressman from the New Orleans
districts, where the banks are "fnan-
cial magnates," we can not divine but
in the country districts, no congress
man, who expects to "sing his title
clear to a reelection in 1892, would
permit himself to succumb to the
magnetic influence OF any such peti-
ton. The agricultural population Of
this country want to get rid OF the
tyranny and reign of the financial
magnates."

The Lottery has lorded it over this
State for more than twenty years; it

has never permitted the legislature tc

self, as will appear by inspection OF
the testimony published in this paper
yet when we say that if the Lottery
be again enthroned on the constitr-
ton of the State, it will have power to
withhold its subsidy to the State, just
as it has held on to its monopoly after
having surrendered it in the constitu-
tion, and that it can then tax the peo-
pie without limit, we are accused OF
effrontery-and such it may seem to
those whose eyes have been jaundieed
by Lottery influence. If the Lottery
succeed, it will own the governor, the
Legislature, the courts, the police
juries, and all the State and parish
officers then it can do as it pleases,
and making money is its trade.

1 Mr.. Lalling, the private secretary OF
Mr.. Morris says: "We (the Lottery
now control the press OF the State,
for which we have expended large
amount OF money. Some has proved
value received, while some has proved
money lost" and they do not wish to
invest any more cash in Louisiana
papers, that belong to the. class OF
ssmoney lost" In controlling the
press of the State, Mr.. Morris expected
to CONTROL public opinion. Up to the
time the CLARION begun publication
here, the press Of this parish shouted
for the Lottery but when public OPT
MON was expressed in the Democratic
ward elections and parish convention
last September, the result was over
whelmingly against the Lottery. Sc
in regard to this parish, Mr.. Morris
could exclaim money lost p But ii
seems that does not propose to in.
vest any more money in that line and
notwithstanding the apotheosis of him
by the papers that proved guilty o.
money lost, he win cast them upon
the dunghill of public opinion to sur
yive or parish as Fate may determine
this is Nemesis indeed.

Because the voluminous proceedings
of the police jury were not all pub
lished at one time in, this paper week
before last, our courteous neighbor,
the Courier, calls it a fraud. The
simple reply is that an examination of
its own files will show that it has been
guilty more than once of a similar
fraud. The workers in the CLARION
Office are only two, the proceedings
were long and came in late; but
neither the police jury nor the public
expects impossibilities, We did the
best we could, and there was no "money
lost" by the parish.

While it has been intimated by some
Of the Lottery press, that Judge Buck
ner's decision refusing the writ ofman-
damus to Mr. Morris was an under
stood thing, so that Mr.. Morris could
appeal Immediately, and not be delay
ed, as might be the case if the other
side was appellant, still some others OF
them seem disposed to criticise him
harshly for not rendering an elaborate
opinion The intimation that the
case would have been delayed if the
judge had decided differently, is sense
less ). for the law fixes the time for the
appeal, and the intimation therefore
is an insult to the judge. But why
should there h~e Eeen given an
elaborate decision An honest judg-
ment about a matter that IS been 50
thoroughly discussed and ventilated,
needs no "whys" ands "wherefores" to
support it. 1t is we'll known and not
denied that the bill proposing the lot
terry amendment was vetoed by the
Governor, and was not passed over his
veto and it was further shown on the
trial before Judge Buckner that the
passage of the bill through the House
and Senate, in the first instance, was
not according to the requirements Of
law Last week on the inside pages of
this paper was begun the publication
of the testimony before Judge Buck
ner, whicl1will show our readers how
the record was .doctored" Afterwards
SO as to make it appear that the bill
had been passed in legal form. Only a
bad cause needs bolstering up with a
long -winded Judgment "manda1nus
refused is a sufficient judgment in a
case so notorious as this one. When a
different judgment is rendered, it will
need the apology OF many words and
technical circumlocutions.

SUGAR REFNERS COMBINE
They will Attempt to Keep the
German Article Out OF
the Market.
Claus Spreckles, E. G. Knight and
Other Independents said to
be in the Combination.
The Refiners Claim that Their
Profits are Limited to lis
Cents Per Pound.

New YORK. Arpil 13.-Reports have
been current for some days on the agar
maket that a com binati0n has been formed
between the sugar trust. all the eastern
reinerS and the wholesale grocers aSsCcia-
ton to acquire complete control of the
sugar trace. It is known Il at negotia-
tIous have been pending between indie
pendent reHneTS, the sugar trust and the
wholesale dealers to handle all the sugar
refined IN this country and boycott the
refined sugars of foreign countries. So
far the deal has resulted only
in an association of the refuers. 1t is
stated today that Claus SpreckeIs. f. c.
Knight, Harrison and Frazer, and all the
independent sugar re6ners have entered
into an agreement with the tlust to woI k
in harmony with its managers and pro
duce only their pro rata share of the en-
tire production which will be limited to
sales made in advance by wholesale
grocers.
One of the largest sugar dealers said in
reference to the agreement: The refners
are now making a profit of only l-l5th
of a cent per pound on the sugar handled
by them. They are restricted to this be-
cause at 3-8th cents per pound profit, for
eign beet sugar would come to the market
IN such quantities as to prevent the selling
Of the product OF the American re-
fners. Today cabegrams were re
ceived asking for quotations in
German beet sugar, and that article
favored as ii is 10y d high bounty 10 the
producer from the German government, is
looming uppromptiy as a menace to the re.
ining business here. There will be no at
tempt to boycott 1t. but individual refners
and the trust acting together will take
whatever steps they deem necessar to pre-
vent it or any other refined sugar from
finding market here
