Inc sugar planters OF LOulsl ana

of their representative in the United

Gently elected to congress with spe-
cific instructions to care for the best
interests of the state which they rep
resent. Neither Senator Blanchard
nor Senator Caffery has done SO.
Louisiana can and will only be thor.
oughly protected by the republican
party which represents protection.
The two southern senators thought
otherwise. They made a trade; they
bartered away the certain prosperity
of their state for vague and and in
definite nothingness. They have as
the matter stands now, deliberately
voted to rob every sugar planter in
the state of Louisiana of exactly one
half of the amount of protection
which was given to them under the
Mckinley tariff.
But cane sugar is not the only sugar,
and on the broad lines of national
progress and prosperity something
further must be said regarding protec'
tion to the American sugar producing
industry. Those gentlemen of Louis
lana, who have their every interest
invested in the sugar business, if not
content with the action of Senator
Blanchard and of Senator Caffery,
should by this time have decided that
the voice OF the Louisiana sugar
planter be heard in plain and vigor.

Economy Has Begun.

When people were prospering under
protection they had money to spend.
In 1867 every person in the country
consumed "a. pounds of sugar and in
1891 each person used sc. pounds, an
increase Of forty-two pounds for
every one OF us But that free trade
threat brought it down to 6s.4 pounds
in 1898, or nearly three pounds less
per person. The people had to be
economical last year because they
were not earning SO much money.

Mixing the Fees.

An amusing incident has just come to
light anent the recent marriage of a
prominent young railroad man to an
up town belle. AS is usual on such oc-
casions, the arrangements, including
the financial end of the transaction in
hearts, were left to the best man, him
self a we'll known club man and a
cricketer of local repute. The story
that Is now going the rounds, and which
is creating considerable merriment,
deals wholly with the part played by
the latter young man. By some unac-
countable contretemps the youth in
question delivered to the organist the
magnificent sum of $50, while the shock
headed youngster who supplied the
wind for the instrument was gladdened
by the gift of $40.
When it came to the clergyman, how
ever, the lavish expenditure previously
made had so depleted the nuptial funds
that only So remained. With unblush-
ing effrontery and perfect sang froid
the best man rendered the two plunks
to the dominic, whose feelings can bet
ter be imagined than described.
The organist says the wedding was
the most brilliant of the season, while
the shock headed boy who supplied the
wind characterizes it as "hot stuff" It
would be interesting to know what the
clergyman who tied the knot thinks
about it.-Philadelphia Record.

to listen to the American ridicule Of

you will find, as rule, that people
pronounce Massachusetts 'Ma-satch-
azettes.' Absurd? Of course it is, but
how are you going to tell? The rule by
which it is pronounced Massachusetts,
is purely arbitrary. The most curious
of all your mispronounciations are per-
haps the adopted French names. How
in the name of the eternal fitness of
things do you get 500 Saint Mary out
of Sault Ste. Marie? Terry Hut for
Terre Haute is just little worse. It is
unaccountable, too, how you came to
call Prairie du Chen Prairie doc
Sheen Of course you have right to
arrange your own pronunciation, but
give us the same liberty. We at least
have the excuse that our names are 10
or Is centuries old and have had oppor-
tunity to grow naturally corrupted in
the lapse of time. Chicago Standard.

TUBERCULOSIS.
Calculated to Cause One-seventh of the
Total Human MortaIitv.


DR.. Anderson, the medical officer of
health of Dundee, delivered an inter-
esting actress recently, with view OF
quickening public interest on the i'm
portant topic of tuberculosis. After re-
ferring to the history of our knowledge
of the specific germ and of the manner
of its propagation, he mentioned the
fact that tuberculosis had been calcu-
lated to cause one-seventh Of the total
mortality of the human race. It was
remarkable that, Notwithstanding this
important fact, little practical interest
had been taken in the matter by the
state, local authorities or individuals.
An assumed theory of its unavoidable
nature seemed to lie at the root of this
baneful fatalism. Dr.. Anderson main
tanned that all tubercle bacilli were
derived from predecessors of the, same
character, and pointed out the facility
with which this bacillus adhered to
moist surfaces and propagated itself I'M
der insanitary conditions such as pre-
vailed in the overcrowded houses Of the
poor.
He also mentioned the opinion, held
by psychologists, that the expired
breath of those suffering from the dis
ease was comparatively innocuous, while
their sputum swarmed with bacilli and
on evaporation and desiccation was apt
to becoms fruitful source of infection.
Hence the paramount necessity for a
systematic destruction of the sputum,
disinfection Of apartments occupied by
those suffering from tuberculosis, and
disinfection or destruction of articles Of
clothing likely to retain the germ.
Referring to the large mortality from
tuberculose disease, DIR. Anderson men
toned, as an instance of public apathy
in the matter of its prevention, the fact
that very few people applied for disin-
lection of material after death from this
cause in comparison with the number
of those who took such precautions in
the case of the various fevers. Passing
to the subject of the disease in cattle,
he pointed out the large mortality
among these animals from this cause,
and also the relation of milk supply to
infant mortality from tuberculosis.
The proportion of deaths from this
cause in children under years of age
in Dundee was found to be 1 in
II. All these facts pointed to the ne
cessity for the householder to safe
guard his own interests. DR.. Anderson
concluded his instructive address by
mentioning in detail the preventive and
disinfectant measures necessary to Sc
cure the highest possible immunity from
the urge.-Lancet.
