Tho Graf aud the Sea Anemone.

Some crustaceans hide their shells un-
der another seq creature. apparently to
protect themselves. a certain hermit
crab found in the Mediterranean see Ia
fond Of sea anemone, and 1t Is unusual
to find shell which q hermit has chosen
for his house unprotected by his anelnono
friend. A gentleman relates that he
captured and put In a large aquarium
one Of these sea anemones ON shell In
which was @ hermit crab who seemed al
ready to hayo outgrown his house.

"Thcn the hermit grow so largo that no

The Trial of Mackay,s AssaIlant.

In the trial of Wesley C. Rippey (who
is poor for shooting in the back John
Mackay (who is rich) the daily papers
are getting in some fine work. Pathetic
parallels are drawn of the "jaunty, well
dressed millionaire" and the "aged, in
firm and penniless defendant" From
the tone Of the press, the testimony and
the jurors it is quite evident how the
case is going. The attempt of MIR. Mac
kay to involve Mr.. Rippey in legal trou-
BILE has disguised every decent daily
newspaper. In fact, we would advise
Mr.. Mackay to leave town while charges
are still unpreferred against him, as in
our opinion there is great danger that
his attempt to shoot Mr.. Rippey and
then commit suicide will result in the
millionaire's CONVECTION -

To the Editor OF the Lafayette Gazette:
The undersigned has, some time since,
called the attention of both the Police Jury
and City Council to a certain volume of wa
ter coming from under the Louisiana West
ern Railroad tract that mandates the Scott
road from my place to the coulce on MIR. a.
Grcg's place, "A distance of about six arpents,
from 10 to IS inches deep. Said volume of
water, which runs at every big rain, comes
from the north side of the Louisiana West
ern Railroad, a radius of four miles through
the part of the public road known as the
Opciousas road, of which piece has been
lately worked, the bitches decpcned under
the tract to the level of said road, bringing
the water into the corporation limits, which
is high prairie land. then its course CONT
nues to the Scott road in the corporation
bitches. I have called several times the
attention of both City Council and Police in
vain to remedy the above since two years
and yet no step has ever been taken to
relieve the above mentioned annoying case
and if left much longer the writer at hand,
very soon it will be impossible to travel said
road (Scott road). I would suggest that a
committee of three be sent to- ascertain prop
means to convey said water through its
natural course and not artiiicial1y as is the
case since several years.

Il PROIECTCR1IE.


Now we are assured with some
ostentation of authority that the
long drawn out pother over Hawaii
is finally to be wound up by spe-
cial message from the president
the establishment of
an American protecterate. This
seems to be a rational conclusion
in view of the condition of Hawaii
and the practical importance Of the
dominance of American con-
troll. 1t may be the initial step to-
ward actual annexation, and to all
intents and purposes Hawaii will
hereafter be province of the United
States. This decision is a virtual
endorsement of the action of the
American minister in placing Ha-
waii under the protection of the
American flag, and the mission of
Minister Blount ends in the ratifi-
cation of the procedure of Minister
Stevens, which the administration
disclaimed at the outset.

VIVA T rs CLAIMED.

The New York World has been
publishing a poll of the South upon
the question of repeating the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law.
In louisiana, the report says,
sabout forty towns have been
reached, and very strong free sill
yer sentiment was disclosed, yet
only five towns are reported as be-
ing opposed to repeal. while twenty
one are for conditional repeal"
The Worlds report from New
Orleans is as follows: 'sThe senti-
mene in the State of louisiana as to
repeal of the Sherman act is divided.
The feeling was pretty accurately
demonstrated by the vote of the
Louisiana Congressional delegation
when the House took action on the
Wilson bill. Then the representa-
tives of the cotton and grain sections
of the State and that territory lying
north of Red river and including
the Florida parishes voted against
the unconditional repeal of the bill
and are in favor of free coinage.
The people of the city of New Or
leans, as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned, are equally divided"
We are inclined to think the re-
port sent out from New Orleans re-
presen ts about the true feeling in
regard to this question.

TAXA TON FOR SCHOOL
PURPOSES.

Times-Dcmocrat.
The Lake Charles Echo joins the
other papers that have spoken out
for an amendment to the COnstitu-
ton which will allow a ward or dis
trict of a parish to levy taxes for
school purposes? 1t says on this
point:
The committee on revision of the
Constitution has duty to perform,
and it is in order for everyone in
terested in the States welfare to
offer suggestions, and ours is to
allow the Taxpayers of the several
wards or school districts throughout
the parishes to vote upon them
selves a school tax in proportion to
their needs the money to be ex-
pended in the wards where it is
raised. This is fair and works no
hardship ON anyone. If ward one
cares nothing for the education of
its children it refuses the tax; and
ward two, more alive to the duties
imposed upon it, can have the pri-
vilcge of exercising its right to assist
the meagre sum wrung from the
State treasury by another coutribu-
ton from its own pockets. Limit
this right to vote on the question to
the property holders of the ward; as
the man who owns nothing should
not have the right to levy upon his
neighbors' means. This or some
similar plan sh ould be pro1nulgate ted,
that our public school system may
attain something of tangibility and
be no longer a farce.
The proposition ought to be
M v>@cc;h1o 1h;a~t;<>o
can be urged to it. We allow the
levy of taxes for levecs, the cons
truction of public buildings, roads
should undoubtedly be granted
privilege, as a matter of fact, is
granted to the parishes, and the
proposition is simply to extend it to
the wards, SO that the latter can
raise money in addition to that given
by the State should they desire to
do SO. If the people of a portion
of 4 parish want good schools the
fact that those of other portions do
not should not stand in their way.
The taxpayers will be sufficiently
protected by the amendment, and
can and will raise no objection to it,
as it is one wholly in the interest of
education. The mes-Democrat
has already approved the PROPOSE
ton, which is one demanded by the
more progressive parishes of the
State, and it should be adopted.
1t may appear small affair, but
anything that will help the cause of
education in Louisiana and stir up
an interest in it is matter of the
greatest importance to the whole
State

LOU/.SI4N4 PLANTERS.

~ ~ Il ~ L LII ~.
The New York Times, in a re.
cent article on Louisiana sugar
planting, has the following to say:
There is big colony of Chicago million
aires who always spend part of the winter
over on the Teche.
These Chicagoans, to amusc themselves,
thought they would try little sugar plant
ing. That they have succeeded goes with
out saying. McLaury, one of them, who
owns the Belleview plantation of 1900 acres,
has made in two years 100000 pounds of
white sugar. He received from the govern
ment in bounty, for two years alone, 100000,
or more than he paid originally for the
property. Daniel Thompson, another Chi
cago man, who owns plantation he has
christened Calumet, made last year 4,zS7,-
900 pounds of sugar. His crop and bounty
yielded him = little over 100000. So his
amusement has paid.
About fifteen years ago, may be \
little longer two young men from Ohio
came down to Louisiana to look At the
country. They were farmers 1t home, but
farming in Ohio was not paying business
then. and il did not promise any better.

The Importance to public order and the:
welfare of the whole country of jury service
by the best classes of citizens cannot be ex-
aggcrated. 1t is the jury at last that is the
conservator of the public peace and the ex-
ecutor of the laws. Whom the jury acquits
of criminal charge is absolutely released
from all responsibility in the case, whether
he he innocent or guilty, and if the juries,
disregarding the facts and the law. shall
persist in setting criminals free, then the
country is in bad way.
Thus it will be seen that there is scarcely
any public duty 50 vitality important as that
of the jury service, and it is good sign
when the people everywhere are waking up
to the fact. The Grand Jury of Baltimore
has just made deliverance on the subject,
which is worthy of attention. 1t is here given:
''1t should not be regarded as a burden,
but pleasure to all citizens, to be called
upon to assume their portion of the respon-
sibilities and to perform the duties incident
to their citizenship. None of these duties
is more important than the duty of jurors
necessary in the various courts of our city.
To those tribunals come all questions aris-
ing from the conflicts of interests and the
violators of all laws made for the protection
of our health, life and property and the pro-
gress and prosperity of our city. If it is in
the interest of our citizens (and no one will
deny iu that the equity in all questions
arising from the conflicts of interests should

rienced class of our citizens as possible,
