From ObcrOn.

To The Lafayette Gazette.
An interesting letter each week
from Totodem Verbs giving nice
description of the northwestern pOr-
ton Of our parish induces me to say
something about the northeastern
portion. Having many friends in
and about beautiful Carencro, l
know that Totidem Vervis does not
exagerate in the least. 1t is doubt
full which is the richest land, there
or here 1t is about alike all over
the parish, but the eastern portion
is higher and drains better than
this; it is more suitable to the cul
tivation of cotton and cane while
rice is our money crop. DusOn IS
our town, and though not as large
as New Orleans it is quite a little
village with live, enterpsising inhab-
itants. Three years since we
shipped $1,000 sacks of rice aad
expect to ship more than half that
much this year. There is a large
amount Of cotton raised here, but
for want of gin we will have to
haul it to Rayne and Scott. A gin
here this year would have passed
over 400 bales. This is a good
opportunity for an enterprising man
with a small capital.
LAS local news is always interest
ing, 1 will tell your many readers
how we live here: fine fat beef at
cents pound; pork at ] cents,
corn 50 cents per barrel, eggs IS
cents per dozen, large chickens 20
cents piece, rice potatoes, vege-
tables of all kinds we raise in album
dance.
Two of our young couples are
m atrimo niously inclined: Mr.: Jno.
Hofpauir will marry Miss Clara
Foreman next Thursday at Solo
mon Morgan's, and Thomas
Hoffpauir will we'd Miss Cora Nc
Coy at Silas Hoffpauir's Thursday
week. There are one or two more
couples who are acting suspiciously
and it is feared that they also con-
template matrimony.
think those sugar planters are
making a bad move to join the Re
publicans. They must have for
gotten what Louisiana was few
years ago under War,noth, Pinch
back & Co. No Republicanism
for me; Democracy forever. This
move will not amount to much as
the white people will in a majority
and they will never consent to re-
turn of negro r1le. With mary

an OBJECT LESSON.

An object lesson of the benef-
cent effects Of the Wilson tariff law
was brought under our observation
last week. In the settlement at
tending the sudden bolt of a large
number of sugar planters and the
decentralization occasioned by the
hard times pictured to the people
by designing men, whose sole object
IS to break up the solid party or
ganization In this State, many per-
sons completely lost sight of the
fact that there were many clauses
IN the tariff bill, besides that affect
ing sugar, in which the people were
interested. We thought so much
about sugar, that it was sugar first,
last and always. The sugar planters
forgotten that there was such a
thing in the country as rice
planter. But now that the second
sober thought has made itself felt,
we are beginning 10 take a more
sensible view of the situation. We
begin to see that sugar cane, if the
refneries do the right thing, will
bring a fair price, and with a little
reflection the thought strikes the
thinking man that much good must
inevitably result from the tariffreduc-
tions of the Wilson bill. In a con-
versation with an intelligent farmer
The Gazette obtained the informal
ton that in the way of farming
implements the prices were already
considerably reduced. Another
thrifty and intelligent tilIer of soil,
who owns a rice farm near Scott
showed US the difference in the
costs of baeging and ties used in
the shipping of his crop. Last year
for 1000 sacks with ties he paid S112
and this year, thanks to the Wilson
bill, he paid $50.
Here is saving to one farmer,
on two items, of 500, which under
the Mckinley bill, would have gone
into the Golfers of the manufac-
turers. Three years ago 5000
sacks of rice were shipped from
Duson station; taking the above
mentioned case as a basis and after
a rough estimate, we find that the
handsome sum of $500 would
have remained in the pockets Of the
farmers of that section had the
Wilson bill been in existence at
that time.

LET 1T LIE Il WHITE
MANS fFEAN.

We learn from the New Orleans
papers that a plan has been sug-
gested and is under consideration
by leaders OF both the Democratic
and national Republican parties in
this district by which it is proposed
to have a white primary to choose
a candidate for Congress. No
squestion as to party affiliations or
preferences are to be asked, but
white men of all parties are to be
allowed to vote, and the voter is
not expected to support the can
didate, but he simply binds himself
not to vote against him. This is
enainenAy fair and if the boast of
the bolters that they want to elm
mate the negro from politics is sin
cere, they will agree to this propo-
sition- With white primary the
negro-the turbulent, obnoxious
ard dangerous factor--is left out,
and the question IS to be decided
by the. white people. If a majority
desire that Republican represent
US in Congress, let their wish pre-
vail. But, if a majority of the
white voters favor the election of a
Democrat, the negro should not,
and unless we are very much mis-
taken, will not, hold the balance of
power. thereby defeating the will of
the intelligent and tax-paying part
of the population. If Judge Beattie,
the boilers choice, is as much OPP
posed to negro supremacy as his
aSiscrents would have us believe,
he will readily consent to submit
his clsims to, the white people.
