RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
To the Pastor of the Trinity M. E.
Church.

Church.
The official board of Trinity
church, at its last meeting, adopt
ed the following:
l. Our church has prOSpered I'M
der Brother McLean'S ministry as
never before in its history, in the
great increase of its congregations
and membership, resulting in an
ever growing spirituality, better
attendance on all means of grace,
a lively interest in the prayer and
class meetings Cthe life and body
of our church, grandly augmented
by the energy and enthusiasm of
youth in the EpwOrth league work
organized by him.
,. Our pastor has not only proved
himself master of the direction
and organization of religious forces,
but he has demonstrated an apti-
tude for the conduct of temporal
affairs equally meritOrious, bring
ing order out Of chaos, especially
relative to our finances.
;. We recognize in Brother Nc
Lean a man of eminent piety and
purity of life. We know he is a
model pastor and compels the love
and admiration of our people. He,
as a preacher, is a man of intellec-
tual and magnetic power, and uses
all his splendid gifts to the up
building of the kingdom of our
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
4. In addition to the enumerated
graces that adOrn the sacred office
of the ministry, Brother Mclean is
increasingly mindful of the wants
of the poor. To our certain know
ledge he has impoverished him
self by too lavish generosity to
the demands of the distressed, so
much so in fact that we could CEN
sure him for this excess of beneVO-
lence, but he and his have endured
the penalty without our censure,
and we are reminded that the min
istry of our beloved church are
prone to err in this particular.
.. We believe that the coming
year, after our National disasters
and distress have passed away,
will witness yet greater achieve
ment in Trinity church under the
guidance of our present leader, if
we are true to him as he is true to
us. By the favor and mercy OF
God our brethren are learning
more and more the sweet blessed
ness of peace and concord in our
councils, the sure harbinger. of a
brighter day.
6. We cannot refrain in the
summing up Of our commentator
to mention Brother McLean's ac.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

" nav GLO OOp1o are say
The people have made note of
Col. Breckenridge's 'last word to
the LIGHT,"" 81 only ask fair play,
and that all the facts be known"
AS Colonel b is in possession of all
the facts he should make them
known, otherwise the people must
depend upon the next best evil
dence at hand.
To begin at the beginning, that
Col. B and his associates were not
the original builders and owners
of the waterwOrks is a fact that
seems to be suppressed or not
recOllected, and in the discussions
it is assumed that they originally
invested their capital in the haZar-
dOus venture of furnishing our
city with a system of waterworks.
w. r. Freeman was the original
promoter, but j. b. LacOste, an old
and influential citizen, was en-
listed to head the enterprise. The
original contract was between the
city and j. B. Lacoste and assOci-
ates, and dated Oct. Bird, 1S77,-to
run for % years from date of COM
pletion of works, April Bird, 1879.
The works were completed and the
city received them under the con-
tract.
Another fact seems to be forgot
ten, the cost of the original plant
was all betrayed by u. King q Co.,
an Ohio bridge company, who took
100000 in Water company bonds.
1t was after the Waterworks was
an accomplished fact, that Col b
appeared on the scene Of action.

So much of the future, to say
nothing of the present prosperity
of our community, depends upon
this question, that no petty per-
sonalities, no epithctic denuncia-
tions should be allowed to blind
the vision of a single good citizen.
Facts and fair play should be the
motto guiding every phase Of the
discussion.

Perhaps this is enough fair play
for today; and enough facts to-
wit, that Col. B. and associates
were not the original Water COM

lance at low cost; that a shrewd

wrecking was not only very lu-
crative business, but a legitimate
one. True, it is told that many a
noble ship was decoyed upon the
dangerous reefs by false lights in
order that the wreckers could get
i'm their work. To this day the
hulks of great ships stand out
above the wharves, monuments of
past disaster, storm and wreck.
But in the calmest day good ships,
with experienced captains, have
sailed upon sunken reefs.

THE idea of small area well cultivat-

the south, not only on cotton planta-
tions, but on sugar plantations as we'll.
Time was when the planter sought for
quantity on a wide expanse; now he
seeks it more in a small area thoroughly
cultivated. Under the new plan the
yield of sugar alone in Louisiana is 159
per cent. more than it was fifteen years
ago. In the last few years the increase
in the cotton yield has been 100 per
cent more than has been the increase
