THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

A telegram was sen to Senator CAT
terry yesterday, (Monday last) by a
number of leading gentlemen of this
city urging him to try and get the sn-
gar planters more than a cen OF boun-
ty on the crop of 1894. This PROPOSE
ton was based on the fact that a cent
a pound bounty will not compensate
the planter for the injury inflicted on
sugar by the Wilson tariff bill.
To this Senator Gallery replied last
night:
"Would gladly get more than one
cent if it were possible. The question
of how much will repair losses by the
tariff must yield to the question ofhow
much we can get. 1t is impossible to
get more than one cent, and nine
tenths of a cent. and it is difficult to
get that much. D.. CAFFERY."
The matter is one that must be left
to Senator Caffery's judgment. Here,
at a distance, where every n is OF
opinion that the bounty is due on the
crop of 1894, it may seem easy enough
to get more than one cent but it il
quite different at Washington. All the
dispatches from there assure us that il
will he a very difficult matter to get
any bounty whatever: indeed, the first
news from the capital was that there
was little hope of it, as Congress did
not seem particularly interested and
was devoting itself 10 other matters,
Since then, the missionary work of the
Louisiana members has improved the
situation somewhat, but our Congress
men have still hard work ahead of them

HOW TO SECURE ATTENTION.
Edited by
J.. O. BRUMFIELD.


In the Popular Educator for Decem-
l,er. Sarah L. Arnold has this to say
in answer to a subscribers question.
'How can l ecu attention in my
school :"
"Your difficulty is n often met
with by young teachers. They as often
attempt to remedy it by demanding
attention of the pupils or by reasoning
with them. Neither method will sue
coed. The child attends to his lesson
because he is interested in 1t if some
thing else proves more interesting, he
will attend to that unless he has grown
strong in seif-control, and gives at
tertion from principle rather than
from feeling. With young children.
attention is almost entirely a matter
Of interest. Work. then. to interest
your children-study them to see what
| pleases them most, and vary your
questions in order to reach them.
Distribute questions and work so that
the inattentive pupils are frequently
called upon to recite. Be quick ;! ami
mated and ready in your work.
Do not make the mistake of waiting
too long for the inattententive pupils,
| have seen a teacher lose command OF
her class because all the children be
came tired and inattentive while she
vas waiting for a few obdurate cases.
Provide work for those who are ready
to give attention, and make it 20 in.
teresting that the others will fall into
line and take part in the exercises.
Do not call the attention of the
! school to every misdemeanor or failure
on the part of the children. If you
see that IA boy is Indifferent, ask hin
a question, or speak quietly to him
individually without attracting the
attention of the entire school to lis
indifference. In this way you will
help to overcome the fault without
magnifying it beyond its natural pro
portion.
One last word. Do not be anxious
nor afraid !; that in itself is an element
of weakness. If the children discover
it, a few mischievous spirits will take
advantage of it. Be bright, serene,
and happy in your work. Study the
children and fit your lessons to Their
capacity. and then the inattentiol
will disappear"

THE FIGHT FOR THE SUGAR
BOUNTY.

News from Washington came IN TINS
week to the effect that the fight for the
sugar bounty will not be precipitated
on the urgency deficiency a%pproprla-
ton bill as was first intended. rms
decision, after being carefully exam
ined into, and after a talk had by Mr..
Blanchard with the chairman OF tie
appropriations committee II other
Senators If the committee, was made
by the Louisiana Senators. 1t Is be-
lievtd the fight will be made stronger
and with better prospects of success
on the sundry civil appropriation bill,
or on the general deficiency bill.
Mr.. Cockrell, chairman OF the APP
preparations committee, urged that
the proposed appropriation 10 pay the
bounty was not in any sense an urgent
deficiency, that it was no necessary to
carry on the government, aud that its
incorporation in the bill would be OPP
posed 10y him. He stated further that
while lie was personally opposed to
the payment Of the bounty, he thought
it was much better to make the fight
for it on the general deficiency or on
the sundry civil bill ; that the pros
pects of success there would be better.
Other leading members of the com
mittee concurred with Mr.. Cockrel
that the amendment was hardly per-
missable on the urgency deficiency
bill. and advised that it be held for
the present, and brought up again
when one or the other appropriation
bill is up.
Besides this, the Louisiana Senators
preferred to await the arrival of Messrs.
j. C. Morris, Pearl Wight and Henry
Martin who wired from New Orleans
that they would arrive on Wednesday.
What will be the outcome of the
fight on the bounty, it is now difficult
to foretell. We can Say this for Ger.
tain, however, that the entire dele ga
ton of Senators and Representatives
from Louisiana from here OF, will
work like beavers to obtain the boun-
ry which in justice and equity the Uni.
ted States government owes for the
crop of 1894. We have had sll along
good hopes for the ultimate result and
still feel confident that Congress vii,
make the necessary appropriation tt
pay this years bounty, fairly won. We
cannot believe that this great nation
which commands the respect and ad.
mlration of every other nation of thu
world, will repudlate its just an(
equitable indebtedness. QW urft
