30 formulate q declaration Of principles,
which, II enacted into law, shall restore
quletudS and prosperity to the country
and secure to every citizen and every in
tereSt, equal justice before the law. That
declaration should be bold, clear cut and
unmlstak0ble in lts terms. The prin-
ciples enunciated should be sound, so
just so broad and 90 patriotic as to COM
mend them to all good citizens. The
people, through their conference, should
declare that they will support no man,
nor men, nor party who oppose these
principles. The people should declare
through their conference that il no exist
ing political party will espouse our prin-
clples, earnestly, honestly and In good
faith, that they will make party that
will do it. To that end, the conference
should provide for the widest discussion
and dissemination Of our principles; also
for future convention Of the people. In
whatever the conference agrees should
be done there should be no quibbling,
no eQuivocation and no division. Unity
Of purpose, harmony Of action and a
steadfast and determined adherence to
the great principles Of justice and truth
will surely and gloriOusly triumph.
Third-'The result that should follow
the meeting and its effect upon our order"
If the principles hitherto enunclsted
by our order shall be endorsed substan-
TALLY by that conference, which will rep
resent not less, perhaps, than 5000, 900 Of
the voters OF the country, such action
must inspire every true Alliance breast
with renewed hope and courage. It would
demonstrate to our order and TO the world
the splendid and almost marvellous work
that has been accomplished during the
brief period Of our existence In the I'm
portant matter Of education. It would
force upon the public mind the fact that
the complaints Of the people and their
just demands can no longer be ignored
and spurned, but they would become
subjects for discussion and earnest
thought at the flreside, In the factory,
the Workshop, the counting room, the
railway coach, the professional Office and
the editorial room. The general interest
thus aroused and quickened would be
In the weekly and bi-weekly
rallies held in "the little red school house
On the hill" all over the land. It would |
be to our brotherhood a striking and |
most encouraging illustration Of the
power Of combined effort and organizs-
lion.
Iregret that q pressure Of official work |
has compelled me to write thus hurriedly |
On matters Of such vast importance; but
The Views herein given, though imper
lectly expressed, are my own, and I alone
am responsible for them.
Frsternally yours, L. L. Polk.

RuAry 22--EOTToR.l
Your esteemed favor Of the S0th ult.
Just received, in which you ask my views
a. to the great industrial conference TO
be held In the city Of st. Louis on the
22d prox. The expression desired you
indicate by certain suggestions, which l
answer In, the order in which you put
them.
First-"The importance OF the Febru-
&ry conference"
It is important as declaration that the
great industrial elements of the Ameri-
can people are dissatisfied with existing
conditions. That unnatural and Tulnous
inequalities exist, which have produced
q deadly depression and paralysis in the
wealth producing energies of the people,
and which should not, and can not, with
safety, be longer quietly endured. 1t is
an orderly and peaceful appeal for such
re-adiuStment of conditions as will secure
20 honest labor, In all departments Of in
dustry, an open feld and an equal chance
with all other classes and interests. II
forecasts an era Of evolution In economic
investigation and research and In govern.
mental politics for fostering just and
equitable development In our political
and material progress. In short, the
convening Of the great industrial Organi-
cations on the 22d Of February Is 8 calm
and deliberate expression on the part Of
the conservative lsborers and taxpayers
Of the United States, that "equlty Of
rights before the law" must be respected
and maintained.
Second-"The obligations and respon-
Slbillties Of those people sending dele
gates to that meeting"
This great reform movement is en-
phstlcslly "of the people, by the people,
and for the people," and in the selection
Of delegates by whomSoever made, scru-
pulous care should be taken that only
those should be chosen tVbO tOjN pGtri-
OticGlly and faithfully represent the
Viet0s and sentiments of their constitnt-
eRtS.
Third-"The responsibilities Of the
delegates to their constituency"
The true relation between q representa-
tive and his people who have delegated
TO him certain prerogativeS and powers,
ls q compact Of the most solemn and re-
sponslble character. To be invested with
the execution Of the expressed will Of
his constituents and with discretionary
power TO serve their best interests, he
who shall so perform these duties as to
meet their appreciation Is deserving Of
all honor. But IL he should disregard or
violate that compact, evade its duties, or
betrsy the high trust repoSed In him, he
would merit the condemnation Of all hon
orsble men. Voluntarily accepting the |
position, he voluntarily assumes all the |
responsibilities attaching thereto and
should meet them In the most conscl- |
entious manner.
Fourth-"The work to be done by the |
conference, embracing its object and pur-
poses"
If, after free, full and frank inter
change Of views Of the various organlza-
lions and interests there represented, it
Is found that we have grievances in COM
mon, we should boldly make common
cause and pledge our earnest and united

In 1912 Tnibodanx was II town much
smaller than it is at this day, but it
was a lively and progressive place.
1t was date when sugar planting
had taken a firm hold OF every
one who could obtain piece of land.
This land had to be cleared of its tim
Der and distractions, to be ditched 10
furnish proper drainage, ard sugar
houses aud machinery to be built to
crush the canes and evaporate the juice,
all of which demanded labor. The
clearing of the soil and the cultivation
were done by slaves, the ditching was
principally made by Irishmen, the
mechanical and carpenter work was
done by persons from other States who
were here by the high wages obtained

power, and were still slight and grace
full when Solomon filled the east with
the fame of his glory; they stood in all
the pride of maturity when Hannibal
crossed the Alps. and Rome entered on
her victorious career They have seen
the splendid dawn of all the great en-
pires of the world, and seen them set in
gloom, when the canker Of decay had
sapped their very foundations.
But the kauri has now fallen upon
evil days; its closing years are full Of
danger. It has survived to see the forms
of life, long dead in the great masses of
land, fade away before the vigorous
fauna and flora of another order of things.
At no distant date it also, like the ma
tives, the birds, the grasses, will have
passed into the measvreless oblivion
from whence it came. In the presence
of this venerable giant pine of Maori
land, the grandest representative of a
primitive age, the colonial, creature of
yesterday, feels like a pigmy as he gazes
on the solemn files ON every side. AS
though ashamed of his own ittleness
and painful newness, he is possessed
only with the passion of destruction.
The weirdness inseparable from the
very nature of a kauri forest is intensi-
fed by the total absence Of animal life.
The contented droning Of insects, the
hum of the bee, the glad singing of
birds so distinctive of the mixed bush,
are never heard beneath the outrageous
canopy which excludes the radiant south
ern sun. The kauri reigns supreme in
its own domain. Nor is there the en-
chanting diversity of ordinary bush
the palms and the tree ferns, the shrubs
and the prodigal wealth of beautiful
parasites whose bewildering variety is
unrivaled even ii the torrid zone
With the exception Of a living carpet
OF delicate nlaidenhair, which attains
height of from five to six feet, and of
ropes of creeper ferns which swing from
tree TO tree Ike fairies il the castle of
giant, the forest is altogether bare of
undergrowth. In the woods of recent
growth, however, vegetation is more
iu2uriant. The long tendrils of the
clematis and rata connect trunk with
trunk IN gafIandS OF white and scarlet
bloom. and at their base fourishes an
infinite variety of ferns. while here and
there a graceful tree fern rears its silvery
lined crown.
It is Il curious sight 70 English eyes to
see a group Of young kauris standing
dark, tall and erect against the pale
blue and gold Of the sky and the lighter
greens If tie background of the forest.
Like all tie species, the dome is out OF
all proportion to the height. But their
doom has been spoken. The ak Of the
lumberinaa and the whirr of the saw
mill resound III the land and the earth

Mrs. Seymour-Howells tells a story OF
a woman who had husband in deadly
fear of her. He was a member of the
legislature, and his wife had insisted
upon his voting for woman suffrage

better half was AFRAID 10 trust him, and
SO on the day the bill was to come up
she hied herself to the gallery in the leg
islative hall. The rollwas being called.
and when the husbands name was
reached he got up and said:

against this bill, but
At this instant u tall woman, with

Bay rum is manufactured in Dominica
from the dried leaves OF Pimenta acris.
Bay rum is procured by dis5illation, and
this in i very simple manner The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are placed
in the retort, which is then filled with
water, and the process of distillation is
carried on. The vapor is then con-
densed in the usual way and forms what
is known as .'bay OIL very small
quantity Of which is required for each
pulcheon of rum. The manufacture of
hay rum is carried on at the northern
end Of Dominica and proves very lu-
crative business to those engaged i'll it,

da~, which was quieted only by seek
ing homes and employment, in other
sections of the country than those in
which their parents reared them to
manhood.
These facts tended to collect here a
multitude of all classes of people.
French being the language principally
81 oxen, French emigrants flocked to
this section of Louisiana as well as
wanderers from every State of the
Union. AS a matter of course these
men when they met together far from
all restraints of home, and religious
influences of their childhood were a
wild reckless body of men, and made
things lively when they gathered
together for holiday in Thibodaux.
Thibodaux, In that day, had levees
quite different from those that are now
vainly striving to-day to restrain the
waters within proper limits. The on
ly banquetts were made of fiat boat
gunwales which pedestrians were glad
Go use when the streets were muddy,
at the risk of sliding from them into
the mud. The people OF Thibodaux,
however We're proud of their village in
that day. They could point to only
one church, but instead they had four
or five saloons and billiard tables,
although they had no religious revi-
walls lor their Sunday, horseraces and
cocktghts supplied their place.
But Of nothin. were the inhabitants
SO proud as they We're of their bank.
1t was u Branch of tile Citizens
Bank of New Orleans, one of the grand
institutions of Louisiana at that date
1t loaned money mortgages of land
and negroes ON fifty years time, all the
interest and one fitch of tie princi-
pal being paid annually.
But these notes fell due as within
the last % years many a man has
discovered to his sorrow.
This Bark was located on jackson
street, between st. Bridget and Thibo-
daux streets, in the building now own
ed and occupied by Mrs. E. A. Thomp-
as residence, and which was erected
for the Branch Bank. The directors
were proud of the Bank as they all
enjoyed. at its expense annually OF
oftener, fine dinner, and the citizens
were proud of the Bank because it
was convenient hall to hold recep-
items, and soirees, and The T. eopie of
the surrounding country were prond of
it, because in it they met for the pur-
pose Of enjoying themselves in the
maZes of the danse, in which the
beauty and manhood of Lafourch, AS
sumption and Terrebonne We'd with
each other in displaying their charms
and gallantry.
In one OF those grand Receptions.
Henry Clay the great Wing leader and
Governor White of Louisiana partici-
rated. Some other persons took an
interest in the Bank which will be told
in No. 10.
