A Proper Time.

"Are you from Georgia. asked the
summer maid, slyly, as she wandered
along the sand with the youth.

"Do you know that this is the Fourth
of July?" continued the maid.
YES" returned the youth, somewhat
puzzled.
Then why don't you celebr.te?' she
continued.
''Why = how in what way?" he
queried, wholly at "a loss.

On single ticket from Chicago to

IN accordance with precencerted
scheme to hay the foundation for q con
test. Professor S. A. Knapp and Professor
O. s. Dolby attempted to take charge Of
the polls at the Lake Charles box Tues
day morning. They demanded the right
to place a .spotter7 with the commits
sioners.
The object Of this demand meant either
one OF two things, namely; that the ne
publican Marty aonbted the integrity or
honesty OF the commissioners or, that
they wanted some one to check mp the
ballots when east IN order TO be certain
that the goods paid for were being
delivered. 1t is needless, however, to
say that this modest % demand was per
cuiptoriiy and emphatloally refused.
These two shining lights of honesty,
moaesty and probity shonld have known
that this demand was insulting
ing to the commissioners and insulting
to the voters of their own party. To
have allowed the placing ola ''Spotter'
at the polls would have been Violative
of every principle ofourfree institutions,
which guarantees TO every voter a free
and secret ballot without detective in
reference or intimidation.
The adoption of such methods would
tend to dismay the voter and prevent
ham from casting his vote according to
his inelinations and best Judgment.
Probably, though, Professors Knapp
and Dolby were actuated by the very
landable ambition, when making the de-
mand, to ascertain if the negroes who
had been employed by the 6. 0. 2, as
STRIKERS were worth their price.
But Professor Knapp was out of his
element when making that bargain with !
his STRIKERS, although he paid sufi-
GENTLY therefor. 1t is generally under
stood that he employed ten negroes at |
s. per day, each, to electioneer and or
ganize mother clubs 1t is difficult, |
however. to understand where Professor
Knapp coald have obtained so much |
money as he expended on the election!
His undertaking in st. Martin parish re-
Gently went into the hands of a [. S. re-
ceiver, the liabilities amounting to about
SS35, 900, and he owes many poor men in
that parish for sugar cane bought, which
was ground into sugar, sold, the bounty
thereon collected, and the proceeds APP
piled to the benefit of his company
When these unfortunate sugar growers
and lal,orers asked for what was due
them, Professor Knapp pleaded insol
yency. Today he blossoms out as a
moneyed republican leader Strange,
aye, more than passing strange.
Both. Professor Knapp and Professor
Dolby are political aPostates for, at the

VERY MUCH IN ERROR.

The handspring Of successful journal
ism is accuracy. Before statement is
made, which passes into many hands,
the author of such should know what he
is talking abont before an airing is made.
But the trouble is that great many
newspapers jump right in and make
harunl-ssarum assertions which, when
looked into closely, prove absolutely in
accurate, and not infreqnently, unjust,
Thus, libel suits and falling off in sub
scriptions are brought about.
The esteemed Patriot in its Issue of
last week, says:
Ont of the $4,000 planksd down by
Mr.. Price to defray the expenses of the
campaign, 5000 was handed over to Mr..
Reid for this district, bRt not a cent of
this was expended for the city. Why IS
this?
We do not know where the authOr of
the above got his information, but We do
know that he is away of, and knows
nothing of what he speaks about.
In the first place, the total amount of
money distributed by the campaign com
mittee to be expended in the third dis
trict was $780, out of which Calcasieu
received $1,000,
The Patriot must have seen through
glass darkly or, during the past two
weeks, film must have come over its
eyes, when it contends that mot one
cent of this was expended for the city"
What about the mass meeting and bar
becue held in this city on October
goth! Does the Patriot believe the labor
to erect stages, decorate same, cook the
meats, bake the bread, were imported
from Honolulu or the Fiji islands, Were
not hacks hired frem the city liveries TO
convey the speakers from and to the
depot upon their arrival and departarsi
Were not cOnYeyanees secured to take
voters TO the polls on Tuesday! Why,
the barbeeues here and at other points
in the parish, cost upward of $500, and
the hack bills viii foot up something
like $500. There are any amount of
lesser expenditures which have all been
recorded and tor winch vouchers have
been taken.
Had the Patriot desired 10 find out all
these things; had it asked the treasurer
of the fund, its curiosity would have
been gratifisd. But evidently, our con-
Temporary had more time 10 conjecture
than 10 ascertain.
Nevertheless, it was poor time to Gle
kick, inasmaeh as the newspapers
were not supposed to be interested in
the amounts expended, simply to pro-
mote aad further the cause Of democracy.
That alene was their contribution, and
they share today in the triumph Of
democracy, for it was greatly through
their efforts that the people were taught
how 10 east their vote On the fatefal day.
Had there been any ground for com
plant, later day should have been set
for the airing Of alleged grievances.
All the officers and members Of the
Price Democratic Club worked like
beavers, and meta few Of them spent
their own noney An fnFthering the cause
Of their STANDARD bearer.
However, victory is ours; let us all

LAKE CHARLES ASA RICE MARKET.

When the giant rice mill at Lake
Charles was first proposed, the adyana
tages that would accrue to the farmers
of Calcasieu were set forth by Mr.. Jahn,
the originator, and others. This was on
the eve of the harvesting Of the largest
rice crop ever produced in this country.
The Rice Milling Company immediately
erected enormous warehouses for storing
the crop and made advances upon all
deliveries. In the meantime, pending
the erection of the mill the price of rice
went down, until it scarcely paid freight
charges when shipped to New Orleans
and New York. Again, while the crop
was phenOmenally large, much Of it was
OF an inferior quality 1t thus came to
pass that many who had stored their
rice found that the first advance made
thereon equaled, and, in some cases, ex-
eeeded the value Of the finished product
when put upon the market. This was
very disappointing, AMI Mr.. jain and
the management Of the mill came in for
a large amount Of abuse, but when it
was found that those who sent their rice
TO New Orleans and New York Jared no
better, and in some eases worse. fair
minded men were willing to do Mr.. jain
Justice.
When this mill was GTst proposed the
Echo ventured the opinion that its
binding wOnld increase the value Of the
Caleasieu crop fifty cents per barrel, one
year with another. Not until this year
has this prophecy been verified. Bat not
only has the competition of the Lake
Charles mills increased values, but has
enabled the farmer to sell his product on
has own premises. The farmer does not
have to go 10 the buyer, but the buyer
comes to him, aud the rice is sold on the
premises where raised.
This is rs it shonld be, and fever a
return TO the old methods comes it win
be the fault of the farmer himself.
When the Lake Chasaes mill commenced
bayiBg, the New Orleans dealers were
forced TO send their buyers into the
country, and immediately the Lake
Charles mill followed suit, and now the
crop is weighed mp, paid for and deliv-
cred to the buyer on the premises, thus
saving those little charges Of commission,
weighing, inspection, etc, that were
won't to eat a hole into the gross pro-
eeeds
One day last week NE made it car
business TO visit this mill which was a
scene Of great activity, employing about
forty men and consuming from eight
hundred TO one Thousand barrels Of rough
rice daily This is bysfar The largest
and most approved mill on this eenti-
nent, and it uoald be hard TO overesti-
mate its importance to. the people Of
! Caleasieu.
During the meath Of October the aill
bought 2, 900 saeks Of rice, and paid for
the same nearly s75,o00. Previous to
October no rice was bought aud it Is
Probable that receipts will increase as
the season advances

Orleans aud The Nestlake mill has also
