The course of Governor Foster,
as chief executive of the State, up
to date, is without a flaw. Should
he continue to administer the affairs
of the State in the way he has started,
he will continue to grow in public
esteem, although it would be diff
cult for him to gain more fully the
confidence of tn people--L<I ayef+e

The above compliment from the
Lafayette Gazette is we'll bestowed.
There has never been a governor IN

dence # the whole people in the

He has in every detail made most
excellent executive and the people
will appreciate it.-Rayne Ranger.

District of which the parish of Lafa-
yette forms part, has been recon-
mended by the Teche bar, to fill the
vacancy existing in the United States
District Court, occasioned by the
death of Judge Billings. Judge
Allen is eminently qualified for the
position, and no one could fill 1t
more satisfactorily, not only is he
we'll versed in the law, but he is a
sterling Democrat, prominent
Mason, and firm in his sense OF
duty and right. The position could
not be filled by more worthy man.

No one has noticed the dehcien-
cies that have existed in the colum S
of The Gazette for the past three
weeks than the management of the
paper. This has been caused by a
big rush of job printing that neces-
STATED the steady employment of the
entire force, and, in consequence
it has operated against the time de-
voted to the paper. But this will
soon be corrected.

The Gazette is informed that an
ordinance was adopted some months
since, forbidding the use of stove
6ipes, without brick protection, in
all buildings in the town. There
arc several people who are unaware
of this ordinance, for they have
pipes running through and extending
some feet over their buildings. The
authorities recognized the elements
of danger in unprotected pipes, and
passed this law as measure of safety
to the general public, and, we think
| it is wise law that should be en-
forced without ssfear or favor.

NEW YORK,
We beg to call attention to the
fact that we have; commenced mill
ing for the new season. Planters
who propose shipping rough rice
to be milled on toll-will do well to
write us as to the amount they are
likely to ship and the probable date
of shipment. This will enable us to
place same on our mill roster and
by the turn being thus engaged, inn
mediate attention secured as soon
as the rough is received.
Holdefs of old crop will Go well
to send it right along before the new
crop makes it t'take back seat.
Do not mix the old and new to-
gether as they mill differently and
they both suffer.
Care should be taken to pack in
good strong bags, also to mark
!. plainly that lots may not get mixed
with others coming to us by each
incoming steamer.

THE IRLEF and THE
COUNIRY

The New York Herald, in lead
ing editorial on the new tariff bill,
annroyes it on the ground that
while it will reduce the cost of the
necessaries of life to the consumers
IL is far from being the radical and
weeping measure the manufacturers
expected the committee to report.
when the bill was first given out to
the public the Republican press de-
clared that if it became law the
industries Of the country would be
ruined and the direst disaster imagl-
nable would fall upon the country
Gov. Mckinley lifted his hands in
horror when asked for his opinion
of the bill, and said that it would
mean the complete stagnation OF
business and manufacturing and the
organs of his party took up the cry,
and some of them intimated that 1t
would bring everything to stand
still; that free lumber would stop
the pine trees from growing, sheep
would seek some secluded spot and
drop dead because there was no
tax on their wool, and coal would
no longer burn Since then, how
ever, the various interests affected
have made a careful study of the
bill and are agreeablv surprised by
the discovery that the reductions OF
the duties are moderate, and SO
plain is this fact that number OF
Democratic papers, while approving
the bill as a party measure, are no.
fully satisfied with it because it does
not cut deep enough into the tarlff.
All of them agree, however, that II
must be passed by Congress with a.
little delay as possible, and on this
point the New York Herald says:
If for narrow local reasons Louisian:

1t says: 1t is not a prohiblton

but it is an effort to break down the

it. The people of South Carolina

they must drink it at home. They
cannot get it in places where men

Will OF Banker Drexel.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The will OF A.
j. Drexel was probated this morning.
1t was stated merely that the real and
personal estate each exceeded 81 100000.
One million dollars is given to the Ger
man hospital at Philadelphia and 81 ,OOO,-
900 as fund far the establishment of a
public art gallery in Philadelphia. He
creates six separate funds of 81 900, 900
each for the benefit of the six children
left by his deceased daughters, Mrs.
Biddle and Mrs. Paul. He provides for
the requirement by his estate of full
control of the Public Ledger after the
death of Geoage w. Childs, in accord
ance with the agreement now in exist
ence, and provides for continuance OF
the Drexel interests in the firms OF DreXel
& Co., Drexel, Morgan 4 Co. and Drexel
Barges & Co. He further wills $500, 900
to James William Paul, Jr., his son-in-
law, as a token of affection, and provides
in case of the death of George W. Childs
Drexel without issue there shall be given
$500, 600 to his widow. The estate is
generally believed to be worth about
$30,OO0,OOO.
The residury estate, after the creation
OF the funds referred to, is committed
to the executors, not one of whom shall
receive more than $50, 900 for his ser
vices. The income of the estate is to be
divided among the surviving children.
In remembrance OF the servants OF the
Drexel family and employee OF the DreXel
banking-houses, sums of money are left
to each, many OF the gifts reaching as
much as 81 900. No reference is made
to the Drexel institute beyond leaving it
his books, pictures and articles OF curl
osity. During his life he contributed
nearly 1000, 900 to the institute, and ii
is thought he contemplated further en-
dowment. 1t is understood the surviv-
ing children will carry out this idea and
subscribe among themselves 81 ,00O,O

The Weat Outlook.

ST. LOUIS, July l9.-The Journal OF
Agricultural OF this city, treating editor
tally on the condition OF the present
wheat crop and the probability OF an adj
vance in prices, says: "Phe best Amer
ican and European authorities agree
that the worlds deficiency will be at
least lO0,0O0,OO0 bushels. The mast
reliable figures now place the entire
American crop OF 1898 At about 3S3, ,OOO,-
600 bushels, which add to the surplus
carried over, will make less than $50 OO0,-
600 bushels. England will want prob
ably 250,OO0,0O0 bushels and the home
trade needs 370OOO,O00 bushels. The
journal thinks that, in view OF the fact
that the American crop is about l3O, ,OO0,-
900 bushels short, as compared with last
year, and as Europe, with Il short crop,
is now grabbing mp American wheat as
fast as she can without attracting too
much attention, the time has come when
American farmers should not sell a
bushel of wheat at the present price"
