highly appreciated as eyinced by the APP

one. We were then treated to an original
essay on the Progress of Woman in the

After Miss Truman had concluded, music
closed the exercises, and the patriotism of

Every one left the courthouse feeling

Much credit is due Mrs. Laurent Dupre

aThe CLARION so-called newspaper
published here under the auspices of a
stock company, offered to do the town and
parish printing gratis and was awarded the
contracts. This action showed that the man
ayers of the concern Were not actuated by
any desire to make money for~ the stock
holders, but that determination to injure
us in our business was their controlling
motive. .h---St. Landry Democrat.
We.do not publish newspaper to please
the editor of the Democrat a newspaper
recently published under the auspices of
the Louisiana Lottery Company. He is
very much put out because we do printing
gratis, and yet in all his wailing he has no
fault to find with the then Washington
Advocate that offered $26 bonus to be the
Official journal, and retused to accept the
contract because the police jury declined
the bonus and elected it the official jour
nal with the CLARIoN-in other words, be-
cause it wanted the exclusive privilege. Is
1T possible the publishers of the Courier
and Democrat know nothing of this?
The reason that the Advocate was not at
tackled NAV be found in the fact that they
had an interest in the building up Of that
paper. Was it the desire of the managers
of The Advocate to make money, or to in
lure other newspapers? If unprofessional,
which action was the more so, the CLAg-
roN's, or the SandoZ brothers stalking
OK. the Advocates? And again, which is
the more professional, do the work
for nothing, or go in court with claim
for doing nothing? We leave these ques-
tions for the editor of the Democrat to-
4answer, and feel confident of the verdict
the public will render in the premises.

A careful perusal of the article in the
last issue Of the st. Landry Democrat,
entitled Somewhat Personal, will satisfy
almost any one that the bette aeir for the
editor of that paper is thai he thought he
and his brother had a patent right to the
newspaper business in this parish; they
lives and he finds that the CLARION, a
new champion for public favors, is max
ing great inroads" into the Democrat and
Gourier's business.
This is free country, and these papers
have no more right to complain than the
physicians, merchants or any other pro-
fession would have to complain of COM
petition in their respective line of business
Competition is the life of trade, and the

DIED IN AWFUL AGONY.
The Case of Man Whose Disease Wa
Inflammation of the Tongue.

The Case of a Man Whose Disease Was
Inflammation of the Tongue.
New YORK, Feb. 11.-William Han
ley, twenty-five years old, newsdealer,
died in the city hospital in Brooklyn of
glossitus, or inflammation of the tongue,
after an illness of four days. The dis
ease is an exceptionally rare one, and
has excited the attention of medical
men in Brooklyn. Hanley was attacked
with the grip on Friday morning, and
in the evening his tongue began to
swell and pain him greatly. By mid
night his tongue and surrounding glands
were swollen to such an extent as 20
force his jaws apart, and he was unable
to speak or swallow. He was removed
to the city hospital on Saturday morn
ing. The patient suffered the most ex-
cruciating pain, and the hospital doctors
were afraid that he would suffocate.
He was unable to articulate, and could
only make negative or affirmative
motions with his head. He was very
well on Sunday, and the inflammation
appeared to lessen. An abScess wa9
found on the right side of the tongue,
and the doctors had hopes that the TT
fortunate would recover. His puiSe
was 1856, and he seemed to be improving
until Sunday night, when the tongue
began to enlarge and protrude from the
mouth. At 4 o'clock Monday morni ),
Hanley died in awful agony. An au-
topsy on the body was made in the pres
ence of the entire medical staff at the in
stitution. The conclusion reached by
most of the doctors was that the disease
was formed through a diphtheritic in
flammation.

NEW PENSION BILL
Congressman w. c. Newberry's
Proposed Measure.
1t viii Bar Out Pensioners
Living Abroad.

If Uncle Sam is to Contribute to Their
mains and Be Active American Citi-
zens, and Not Make Foreigners of Their
Own Children-Thousands of Them.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE attention
of Congressman Newberry was called to
dispatch from Montreal stating that
there was much anxiety among persons
residing in Canada and drawing pensions
from the United States government over
his bill providing that no pensions shall
be paid to any person who is not resi-
dent of the United States.
Mr.. Newberry said his measure was a
good one, and its main object was to
bring the pensioners residing in other
countries back to the United States. In
Germany, Austria, Turkey, Egypt, and
IN fact, all over the world, he said, there
We're large Numbers of United States
pensioners residing who had no inten-
@ @tion Oh ever returning to the United
otates' They could live abroad cheaper,
ana they were raising families, the sons
becoming citizens of foreign countries;
and, in case of war with the Unite d
States, they would fight against their
mother country.
"When | was in Germany" continued
Mr.. Newberry, II talked with any num-
Der of United States pensioners who eT-
pressed the.t intention of remaining
away from home, and altogether about
10000 such people are scattered through
out the world"

HIGHEST IN YEARS.
The Quality of the Cotton Crop
of the Year Just Ended.
Half Million Bales Short of the
Crop of 800.

Staple Medium or Somewhat Short, Color
Planters Disappointed at the Low
Price-Large Seed Sales at Reduced
Prices-Insect Losses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE February
cotton report of the statistician of the
department of agriculture relates to the
proportion marketed, quality, yield Of
lint, close of pickings, losses by insects,
and price of seed.
The Crop.
The proportion sent from plantations,
as estimated by reporters and accurately
consolidated, is as follows: Virginia,
80; North Carolina, 80; South Carolina,
90: Georgia, 92; Florida, 90; Alabama,
81; Mississippi, SO; Louisiana, 81: Texas,
So; Arkansas, S8; Tennessee, SO; Mis-
souri,, SO. General average 1873 per
cent.
Returns of comparisons with the crop
of last year are: Virginia, rs; North
Carolina, 70; South Carolina, 50;
Georgia, S5; Florida, 94; Alabama, 81;
Mississippi, SO; Louisiana, so; Teyas,
107; Arkansas, 96; Tennessee, 81; Mis-
souri, 80. General average 94.3 per
cent.
The returns are consistent as theii in
dicated results vary by less than l per
cent, indicating crop about 10000
bales short of that of 1890.
The October reports of the two years
make an almost identical difference.
These results are submitted without
comment.
Close of Picking.
The estimated average time of close of
picking is by states: Virginia, Dec. III;
North Carolina, Dec. 10; South Carolina,
Dec. 8; Georgia, Dec. A; Florida. Nov
20; Alabama, Dec. 2; Mississippi, Dec,
10: Louisiana, Dec. 12; Texas, Dec. a;
Arkansas, Dec. 12; Tennessee, Dec. IL,
Missouri, Dec. 13.
Highest Quality for Years.
The quality is the highest for many
years. Staple medium or somewhat
short, color excellent, and usually free
from trash.
Seed Sales.
The low price of cotton and disap-
pointment il money returns have led
to large sale of seed to oil mills t
prices somewhat reduced as follows:
Virginia, IA cents per bushel; North
Carolina, IA; South Carolina, 14.5; Geor-
gia, 14.5: Florida, ID; Alabama, ~;
Mississippi, 10; Louisiana, II; Texas, IL;
Arkansas, II; Tennessee. 13; Missouri,
ETC., IL.
On the Atlantic coast the larger use of
seed for fertilization makes relatively
high price.
Losses from Insects.
Losses from insects were not very Sc
rious and were mainly confined to tho
gulf states. The boil worm was nearly
as destructive as the caterpillar.

DEATHBED CONFESSION.
"Rioter' Burke Exonerates Richard
Croker of Murder.

"RfOter' Burke ExOnerates Richard
Croker of Murder.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Morning
Advertiser publishes an article in which
1t says that a confession was made sew
eral days ago by a man known as
"Rioter" Burke. who is now in the last
stages of consumption, which exonerates
Richard Croker, well known Tammany
chieftain, from the charge of killing
man named McKenna on election day,
1874. Croker at the time was publicly
accused of the murder by Sheriff Jimmy
O'Brien, his most bitter political rival,
of the crime. He was tried twice fer
the offence, but the jury in both cases
disagreed and the indictment was finally
quashed.
Burke, it now appears. called on
Croker the other day and made a state
ment to the effect that he was a witness
of the murder of McKenna. He alleges
that O'Brien and his crew paid him not
to testify in Croker's behalf. He now
says if he had testified at the time Of
the trial he could have cleared Mr..
Croker.
The name of the murderer does not
appear in the article, and it is therefore
impossible to say whether or not Burke
told Richard Croker who the man was.

RELIEF FOR THE STARVING.
Philadelphia WIN DO Something for the
Enmine-Stricken Russians.

Famine-Stricken Russians.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.-An interest
ing and largely attended meeting of
business men was held here Tuesday
afternoon in furtherance of the move
ment to provide relief for the famine
stricken people of Russia. Committees
were selected, representing almost every
known trade and profession, to solicit
donations of money and supplies with
the object of loading the steamship In
diana and start that vessel from here
with her cargo for Libau Russia, on
Feb. 90. A meeting of the Grocers' and
Importers exchange was also held, and
measures were adopted for the relief of
Russias starving peasantry.
The Pennsylvania railroad commit
tee rendered to the use of the citizens
committee the company's freight depot
at Broad ard Prime streets for the stor-
age of supplies prior to the loading of
the steamship and also announced that
the company would forward free of
charge to this city all contributions
from points along its line. Efforts will
be made to have diverted to this city
the supplies of -four, etc, sent from
western cities to New York.
