gold standard advocate, wires his paper
as follows:
President Cleveland prefers that the
Sherman law stand instead of any sort of
compromise, leaving the whole silver
question to the country and the next
congress. This idea will probably pre-
vail.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Senators German, Voorhees, and Sher-
man had conference with Secretary
Carlisle at the treasury department and
an effort WAS made to agree upon some
form of compromise which will satisfy
the repealers and which might be passed
tion obtainable it is understood that they
failed to reach IN agreement and will
meet again to consider the matter.
The opinion is gaining ground that the
administration will soon throw up the
sponge and force the whole matter over
to the next session. The situation is de-
cidedly mixed, and an adjournment until
the regular session in December is about
the only step left for the repealers to
take.
This of course means that the ailver
forces in the senate have been so skillfully
handled that, without a vote, the repealers
have been routed and admit their over
whelming defeat by parliamentary strate-
gy alone. AS matter of course the pres
ent law will stand and silver purchases
will continue limited only by the peculiar
"job lot" style of Mr.. Preston in forcing
the price below that of the world 5
markets.
GROWING BITTER.
Mr.. Cleveland announced to- day that he
will not 60 to Trenton tomorrow nor
leave Washington until congress settles
the important public questions now
pending. The senate meet at 10 o'clock
this morning and the acrimonious debate
of yesterday was continued. Senator
Morgan, Democrat, of Alabama, referred
to Senator Hill, Democrat, of Now York,
as ian astute politician with conscience
SO easy that he could change his opinion
as his political necessities might require y
The feeling in the senate between the
silver and anti-silver senators is growing
bitter.
THE MINERS BILL.
The western senators say the billto re-
lieve miners will undoubtedly pass the
senate. As it passed the house the bill
amends the act, requiring that no less
than 800 worth of work shoulian'r ro done
on every mining claim under Dse5lty of
forfeiture, so as to suspend all sach work
for three years providing that the person
desiring the benefit of this act shall file
notice of his intention to hold and work
said claim.
CARLISLE EvADEs THE LAW.
Sec. Carlisle is endeavoring to settle
the silver question himself. The silver
purchases this month are the smallest
since the suspension of free coinage in
India. The total purchase to date is less
than 100000 ounces. The charge is
strong to-day that the secretary is vio-
lating the constitution.

Sufficient money was raised to start the
first free kindergarten, and Miss Mary
Katharine Young was chosen it's principal.
1t was located in one of the worst parts OF
First avenue, and for a few days its gentle
teacher and her assistants had the toughest
time ever experienced by educators in II
well organized city.
With no powerful school board back oil
them and no city ordinances to protect
them as to the attendance of their pupils,
these courageous young women continued
bravely at work, and before two months
had passed were instructing daily from SC
to 100 poor children all under five years old.
The children are taught to play quietly,
to sew, to cook and to keep house. a
piano is in every school, and the teachers
are always supplied with food for the LITTLE
tots who may come TO lessons hungry.
Every Christmas Mrs. Cleveland sends
Christmas tree to Miss Young's kinder
garten and literally supplies it with dolls
and toys for the girls and fahncls shoes,
etc, for the parents of the children. On
Christmas day she visits the school and
takes part in the exercises.
Last summer Miss Young was chosen
10y Mr.. Glider to be his representative at
the meeting Of kindergarten associations
held in Denver. She was one Of the prin
cip9l ossayists on that occasion.
IN the December Century Miss Young
writes about kindergarten work. She is
dgvOting all her time, her energies and
her thoughts TO the task of educating the
children of the poor.
Miss Young is n very charming woman.
Although yet in her early twenties, she is
thoughtful and accomplished She has
sweet voice, cultured manners and is al
ways gentle and diSnifed. She is gener-
ously inclined and 50 fortunately situated
in regard TO the goods of this world that

The South will join in universa
lamentation over tue death of Justice
l.. Q. G. Lamar, which occurred at
Macon. Ga, on the 23d inst. His de
mise was rot unexpected, as 1t was
known that he was afflicted by an in
durable disease, but the country
hoped that the eminent jurist would
be spared TO it for little while longer
at any rate.
Justice Lamar was a statesman
whose moral courage was strong and
bold While in the Senate, in the
troublous times when the bloody
shirt was waived with much success
by the Northern partisane, the MIS-
sissippi Senator, while striving to Jet

vice he performed as a representative
of a great Nation, both in the cabinet

OUR CLOTHING HOUSE.

which Mtssrs. Jordan & Booth con

etc, that they have become to de-

This is an appellation which has
worthy bestowed. Messrs. Jordan

business principles. They keep a
line of good: which is always IN
season and style, n class which they
can recommend and they ask for
them legitimate price. They make
no alluring promises of great bar
gains offered whereby goods are
sold for prices less than cost, but do

To set up stack that will stand and
turn water is an art which every one
has not learned, and yet it is easy
enough when once the lesson is learned.
Wa do F. Browns plan, as tried by him
self, is to set the bundles squarely
against each other and only slightly
leaned from the perpendicular. He puts
eleven bundles in a shOck-four for the
foundation, one at each end and two at
each side, and single cap sheaf. He
says that one cap will turn the water as
well as two if properly broken and put
on, is much less likely TO be blown OF,
and in long continued wet weather two
sheaves will become so saturated as to
twist the shock by their weight.

1t needs 10 argument to prove that
the easiest way to feed stock is to let
them gather their food themselves.
Cows may be proftably kept for milk.
in many instances, chiefly on ensilage
and folders, green and dry, but it II
only where good pasturage is available
that general stock raising can be profit
able. Notwithstanding what seems sc
self evident, the Importance of making
the most possible out Of the pasture
does not appear to have taken very
strong hold on the minds of farmers in
general, according TO a correspondent
Of the New York World, who says:
Many of the farmers in the eastern
and middle states who are the owners Of
acres OF woodland, either large or small,
by little clearing out Of underbrush to
let in the sun and the scattering of grass
seed adapted to shaded lands, might
easily so increase their pasturage that
most of the land now devoted to it
could be reserved for meadow or culti-
waited crops. In other words, many
farmers have pieces of woodland the
value Of which might be greatly in
creased by semicultivation of the kind
described.
In the south, where grass has a much
longer period of growth, the subject Of
pasturage deserves especial considera-
ton. No more profitable use can be
made of large portion of the land
annually devoted to cotton than to seed
it down for permanent pasture and
meadow. There is no good reason why
the south should not raise and feed its
own stock, and thus stop large drain
on the resources of southern planters.
With more land given up to grass and
stock there would gradually come better
farming. This means increased fertility
for the other lands and more corn and
cotton to the acre cultivated.

RUSH POINTS OIL MILL
A Caddo Parish Industry

n Caddo Parish Industry
1t is not generally known4hat Cad.
do parish has two oil mills now n
operation but such is the fact. Las
fall few men of energy and push
for there are some such in the conn
try, concluded that an oil mill q,
Rush Point would be beneficial ~
their plantations, and as they were
not satisfied with simply saying that
it would be ''good thing" they went
to work to get it, and as a result
they have mill of thirty tons daiIv
capacity, built in a good substantial
manner and fully equipped with the
latest improved machinery, and bet
ter still, all paid for. Now, how does
it happen that Rush Point has built
a manufacturing plant costing over
$4,000 and has it in operation ship
ping products to Shreveport even be-
fore our people have heard that il
WAS contemplated. 1t simply means
that those who were interested work
ed as we'll as talked, and with few ex-
ceptions, every person did something
to help the enterprise, and if they
could not take $1,000 of the stock
they took S100 Did they raise all
this money around Rush Point
Certainly not; but they did raise the
first $4,000 before they asked stran-
gers to put III any money, and when
they did ask it they We're not refused.
There is plenty capital waiting to
find Investment in the South, but
strangers are afraid to put money
into enterprises where those chiefly
interested want to pay up their part
of the capital stOck-''talk" good
will' and influence.
Doubtless the real cause of success
is the men who are at the head of the
concern, for when such men and firms
as DIR. w. l.. Dickson, Dixon & Dix
on, MIR. j. A. Martin, Col }. S. Swami,
N. w. Sentell IL Bro, and others
equally as energetic, determine on an
object it takes more than an overflow
and crop failure to discourage them.
Then the company have shown their
judgment by putting their plant in
charge of man who is competent TO
handle it even if it costs more at the
start.
Mir. j. G. Burruss, the superintend-
ent, who has been identified with the
enterprise from its first conception,
and who brought it before the north
ern capitalists was for two years a
citizen of Shreveport, and during the
time was III charge af some of our
best concerns and never failed to
do all in his power to build up and
interest Others in all local establish
lishments and he will be an acquisi-
tion to Rush Point as citizen and
mechanic
The moral Of this is that Shreve-
port loses a most needed industry by
inaction and lets a far less favored
location secure the plant and the out
side capital. Don't do it again but
make determined effort to secure
all legitimate establishments and 1t
can be done.
