believe that at no time i'll 80 years has
the Louisiana sugar industry been on as
sound n footing as now. The antique
factories OF 80 years ago must pass out of
the race. We now know what manu-
featuring appliances are the best, or at
least better than what we have, and W.
must adopt them or sell our sugar cane
to those who do.
In our cane culture we are steadily
cheapening cane production by better
work, We 1nd this intense. cane culture
produces cane at q less cost per ton than
does the so-calied cheap culture.
The moral of all this is that We should
practise shat we preach and do ..the best
we can with the data that we have OBJ
tanned. Cuba is doing it and will produce
100000 tons of sugar this year. Louis
lana has produced 100000 tons this past
season and should reach n million tons
within ten years.

DISC CULTIVATION

No modern improvement has so cheap
ened all kinds of field cultivation as rave
the use Of discs. Tho first successful APP
p~licatiOn inLouisiana was made by Mr..
James MallOn, when he invented and
built his sectional disc machines. There
had been in use previously cast iron disc
harrows, but they were not received with
much favor and were not adapted to cane
or corn culture. Mr.. Mallon'S sectional
disc machines straddled the cane and corn
crops aud WAS a wonderful step forward
at that time. There then came the La
Dow solid steel disc harrows and c%ultiva-
tors. They were too light for our culture
at first, but in the hands of the late Mr..
B. j. West, who was a most earnest pro-
moter of improvements in agricult ural
machines for use in cane culture, the LA
Dow machine was enlarged and strength
oned and is to-day u standard device of
which hundreds are used Gin this stare.
Mr.. MallOn has improved and modified
his machines and furnishes solid or sec
tional discs us may be preferred. The
James Hall Pillow Company, who adyeI-
tixe their disc cultivators i'll this journal,
have sold enormous quantities of these
cultivators.
The success of these disc cultivators
here in cane culture, and in fact every
where where they are tried, has brought
new competitors into the field, and now
the Higganum Manufacturing Company
advertise their Uark'8 Cutauag Guilt
pator in The Planter. In these The discs
being partly cut away, it is claimed that
in addition to throwing earth TO or from
the crop, az may be desired, tho pecu-
liar form Of the disc pUIverizeS tho earth.
The tool will unquestiOnably do excellent
work.
There has now como another competi-
tor into the field, and the johnson Han.
Vester Company, of Batavia, New York,
advertise their Continental CultiratOr i'll
The Planter. They manufacture - full
line of disc tools and invite correSpOD-
dence and seem determined to introduce
their machines into Louisiana.
The sugar planters of Louisiana place
their supremest confidence i'll the pillow.
Why? Because it will turn the grass and
weeds under-will hide the evidence of
neglect. Disc cultivatoTs won't do the
hiding business as we'll as the pillow, but
they will prevent the necessity for hiding
the grass. They will keep the grass from
growing by permitting the easy stirring
of the soil from its whole surface, at "a
small cost.
Cane culture in Louisiana can yet be
immensely cheapened, as has corn culture
in the west, and the quickest economy
consistent with excellence that we now
have in sight is the enlargement of disc
culture. There should be thousands of
these machines in use where there are
now but NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Planter.

Many Trains blocked and Much Damage
Done.
A portion OF the gearing Of one of the
cars OF an Erie freight train going east
broke yesterday afternoon when the train
was about two hundred yards from
the eastern end OF the tunnel, and
threw the car from the track. At the
same time a west bound freight train
passed and the broken car was thrown
against the west-bound locomotive,
breaking its journal and throwing IL from
the track. A long section OF the ties
was torn up and the roadbed in the yicin-
lty was ploughed up for some distance
The air was filed with Tying debris, and
one OF the fragments struck Joseph
HAYES, fireman on the we ST
bound engine. upon ths head, making
a very ugly though not serious scalp
wound. Hayes was removed to ST.
Francis Hospital, where the wound was
dressed
Superintendent Stearnsgsent wrecking
crew to clear the road. While the work
of cleaning away the debris was gong on,
trains began to arrive, and the tunnel was
soon blocked with cars. All the outgoing
trains were held at the depot.
The wrecking crew worked until after
six o'clock before the road was opened
and travel resumed. At this time there
were over thirty trains in the block and
among them were the mail trains which
were carrying mail that should have
caught the Fail River boat which left
yesterday afternoon.
Many of the passengers on the incom-
ing trains climbed the embankment at
the other side Of the tunnel and took the
Summit avenue cars to the Erie ferry.

JUDGE GARRISON ON THE FRAUDS.
scathing Charges Delivered to the Cam
den Grand Jury.


Special to the Jersey Citg Nelss.
CAMDEN, May 8, 1s9l.-Supreme Court
Judge Garrison; to whom was referred
the Investigation of the short term socie-
ties by Governor Albeit last Wednesday, !,
in his charge to the Grand jury in Cam
den yesterday morning sounded the warn
ing of Jersey JUSTICE in most emphatic
language. The Grand Jury that he in-
structed is one carefully chosen and 10
the majority composed of funapproachable
citizens, and that probably means the iu-
dicrnent Of many of the officers of the
confidence corporations that have been
operating under New Jersey charters.
In speaking to the Grand Jury of the
short-term societies, Judge Garrison said
that the printed prospectuses OF various
so-called benevolent associations disclose
substantial uniformity in their pro-
posed schemes of transaction. In all Of
them parties were offered as an induce
ment TO take out certificates a return so
vastly in excess OF any possible or legiti-
mate earnings on the funds of the asso-
citation, that no one could contemplate
their plans without seeing at a glance
that they could be effectuated only by
frauds on someone. Ia almost all of
them the large sum thus promised was to
be increased to a considerable extent IL
each member would bring into the order
two fresh contributors, VINO in their turn
were expected eacn 10 introduce Two
more aud so on ad infinitum.
Some Of them propose that at the end
of three days from the time member
has taken out a certificate he, shall bring
in his two additional members and re-
ceive at the end of one week three times
the amount of his contribution. This
society claims to have upward of 1000
members. At the rate of increase pro-
posed, within few weeks the numser of
persons who must become mem bers, If
the scheme is strictly carried out would
equal the present number OF the inhabi-
tants on the globe, and the amount of
money necessary to pay them of in full
would equal all the circulating mediums
OF Christendom, and make some tax be-
side on the precious metal yet unmined

sible to diguify these concerns by any
serious analysis OF their provisions He

obtained by those who honestly intend TO
prosecute the objects which the Legis-
tive act permits them to do.
If this liberal policy is abused by per-
sons who incorporate ostensiDly under a
general act for the purpose of carrying on
business not authorized by that act, and
thereby inducing the belief that their
business has been legitimatized by the
State, they are guilty OF double fraud.
They work private fraud on victims aud

latter. while not direct subject of in

The Judge analyzed the act for the for

from the testimony was, as to whether
any person or persons have been in
duced to give up money by the pre-
teuce that they were putting ii
into an enterprise which existed by
virtue Of an Incorporation created by the
State of New Jersey. IL they found these
facts to exist, the legal conclusion fol.

means of working this deception, were
