An extra train with two coaches
loaded with planters from the sugar
districts went up to Amite City and
Arcola yesterday, to examine the
prospects for successfully growing
sugar cane in this latitude. That II
can be done is conclusively proved
by Mr.. Sansum, two miles east OF
Amite City. The pine lands Of
Louisiana are destined to be valua-

ity Of lumber produced, but for the
growing Of sugar cane.-Hammond

ANTE ClrY, La, Jan. l6. 1891,
Editor Timss-DemoeAt:
The revenue amendment to the
Constitution of the State Of LouiAi-
ana Is exciting the minds Of the peo-
pie, and tc some extent threaten
ing the unity Of the Farmers ALI
ance of the State. Being . union
man l ask some space in your col
umns. to express my views. II
wrong, I hope to be corrected; Il
not, l hope to correct others Of the
order.
Did not Brother r. s. Adams
make . mistake - president Of the
State Union in the City Of Baton
Rouge, when in his address to said
body, referring to the lottery ques-
ton, he said that any member Of
the union that would vote for said
amendment ought to be turned out
of the union: I think he did, and
thought so at the time. ] am more
CONVINCED now of the fsOt, ~ 1
can't find anything in the oonstitu-
ton and bylaws warranting such
an assertion. In uttering these
views Brother Adams has misdirevt-
ed the minds of the union.
The members Of the Farmers AL
lance have an assurance before they
take the obligation Of membership
that said obligation shall not conflict
with their religions or political views.
The revenue amendment is pOliti-
cal beyond q doubt, for it propo-
ses to add to the revenues Of the
State and become q portion Of the
Constitution.
Jtis also alleged by the anti-l0ttery
men that the lottery is a gambling
institution, and in proof of this
fact they simply say it is 50 because
the courts have so decided. This
may be true, but by no means does
it make it 50. for every intelligent
voter knows that q court will reverse
the decision Of another; therefore
one decision Or the other is in error.
Then, again, it is alleged that it
is immoral. There is . vast field for
argument on this point. To go into
it fully would consume too much of
the space OF your valuable paper.
I will say that an institution that
proposes to build your levees, to
care for the insane, to assist the
Carity Hospital, to pension the old
soldiers Of the Lost Cause, and to
prevent increased taxation upon
your property, cannot be called i'm
moral. In the name Of the ruler
Of high heaven, what is immortality
If doing these things is immoral? It
must be anti-lottery immortality, for
I know no other name to give it.
The allegations as to gambling, i'm
morality, ETC., are used BY the an
tbs to operate upon the moral-m,nd-
ed voters Of the State, and 10 the
strongest argument tuey can pro-
duce.
Now, I ask my brother members
Of the union to read both sides
Of the question and prepare them
selves to vote intelligently ON this
and all other questions and they |
will have done their duty. 1t is .
veil known fact that some Of our
brothers have been turned out of |
the order ON account Of their being |
ottery men This, in my opinion, |
8 wrong, and IN violation Of the |
constitution and bylaws and the
solemn obligation We take as union
men This is what want to put
stop to, for the bylaws aud eonsti-
tuition are what made Us al union
men, and when they are trampled
lnder foot we have lost all. Fra
ernally, r. v. NcNICaEAL.

A Wage worker Has Something to Say
for the Cause.
The advocates of the early closing
movement have not in the least relaxed
in their exertions to accomplish the end
they aim for, and the ultimate success is
now thought to be an assured fact.
The following communication received
yesterday at this Office gives evidence as
TO how the wage-workers feel in the mat
ter:
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Your editorial in this
mornings paper gives much satisfaction to
the wage-workers of this city, and especially
those interested in the early-closing move
ment, and, Mr.. Editor, we feel proud to
have the cooperation of such q paper as the
RECoRD-UNIoN, which has no superior on this
broad western empire and with the press, the
don't win this fight for justice and right it
will be because we are not workers. Now, Mr.
REcoRD-UNIoN, we have done wonders in the
past few days, and may say that we have
met with hardly any opposition; in fact we
have most OF the merchants of this city on our
roll, excepting, i may say, two firms, and can
they afford to stand out in the face of public
opinion? No, sir, give them credit for better
judgment, and hope that ere Saturday even
ing next arrives to be able to say that the roll
is complete-that all our merchants have

this State has made another step forward to-
ward placing her at the head OF the pro-
