Abadie, a committee on resolutions.
The committee reported The fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unau-
imously adopted:
30 it Resolved, By the Democrats
of the 3rd ward of Vermilion parish
in a mass meeting assembled: That
we hereby manifest our approval of
the Democratic administration State
and national. That we commend
President Cleveland for his manly
utteraoces upon the vital issues be-
fore congress. That we especially
endorse and approve the action of
our two Senators in the US Senate
and the able congressman from this
District, Hon. Andrew Price, in at
tempting to secure a fair duty on
sugar and rice, thus affordlng inc,-
dentaIly to u section that quantum
Of production which it is generally
conceded is necessary andiust. We
congratulate the Democratic House
and Senate upon having finally pas.
sed q tariff measure which while not
perfect, in all respects has removed
great burdens from the people, aud
made great strides toward securing
an equitable system of taxation
throughout all sections of cur com
mon country.
Be ii Resolved, That we hereby
reatfrm Cur Allegiance to the prin-
ciples of Democracy as e~Rnuciated
in the Chicago platform of 1892.
and avow our belief in the jostness
OF o tariff for revenue only, with in
crdental protection, and inasmuch
as sugar is the ideal object Of "a e
venue tariff, afording a maximum
of revenue at q miEimam cost, We
callupon the Democracy Of the pa
ton TO 20 shape Tariff legislation as
TO save onr great industry aud afford
it the incidental protection to which
it is Justly entitled.
Resolved, That We view, with re.
greet he Hnwlse move OF those dis
effected sugar planters who have
severed their connection with the
Democratic party, and are seeking
an UnhoIY alliance with the Repub-
lican party, in the vain hope OF Sc
curing protection for the sugar in
dnstrg, when that party, which has
always been the enemy Of the South
aud the curse of this State, has al
ready placed itself On record as in
favor Of free sugar, and its leaders
declare that the bounty will never
De restored.
Resolved, That we are oflhe opin-
ion that the bounty for this year is
justly due the sugar planters, ADD we
firmly believe that when the jnstuess
and equity Of the sugar planters
cause properly brought to The at
tentioG Of congress in December thai
the claim will be recognized as a
legitimate obligation of the govern
Uent and the bounty allowed.

are gloomy and overcast with
ominous, dark clouds. it is consoliug,
yes encouraging, to rote that despite
the wild stampede of angry sugar
planters, who in their blind rage
have flung themselves upon the
Republican party, there are a few
patriotic men, whose sole interest is
sugar, and yet they do not feel that
their salvation depends upon the
retention of the sugar bounty. Gen.
VIM Poreher Miles, one Of the lar.
gest sugar planters in the State in a
recent letter says
Sweet Springs, W. Va. Sept. H.,
1894. To the Editor of The Times
Democrat:
1t is sad to see so many true and
noble gentlemen deserving the Demo
crat party and afiiliating themselves
with party which has Inflicted such
woes on the South in the past, and
will in the future, if everit gets into
power again. And all for what?
Solely that the sugar industry of
Louisiana should again have the
bounty" There can be no mis-
take about that being the issue.
The Republican party is opposed to
any revenue duty" on sugar; is
unanimously 10 favor of free sugar."
the very thing for which SO many
sugar planters are bitterly depounc-
ing the Democratic party for 10.
dicating its desire to obtain. But
will the free sugar bill become a
law. Will the wives and children
of sugar planters be reduced to
want, il not starvation, as some fiery
speakers at the Hotel Roya! predict,
ed the other day? /, for one, do not
believe in all these lugubrious yatic-
nations. With a duty Of say one
cent and a quarter Tor very nearly
a pound, may we not be able to
hold our own? Many contend that
one and a half cent would be ample
protection" Why not try and see
whether, with greater economy, we
cannot make sugar for very nearly
half a cent less per pound. The
expenses Of sugar plantations are
admitted by all to be too great,
which means that they can he re-
duced. The wasteful extravaganza
OF very many of Cur large planta.
tons and sugar houses is proverbial.
Why should we pay higher wages
for labor and salaries of all employees
than are paid by our Deighbors in
Mississippi and Arkansas land North
louisiana Or any of our Southern
sister States? Why not try to re-
form in this particular and make
our sugar at less cost than we hava
been doing? Why insist that the
government ought to enable US to
pay higher wages than the cotton
planters pay? l. work in the cane
field harder than work in the cotton
field? When the days are shortest
and the weather coolest harvest
time on a suga: place. why should
wages jump up at a bound? In there
any reason or justice in ii? Let US
remember Aesop's fable of the
wagner and Hercules, and put our
own shoulders to the wheel before
we pule and cry and implore our
Hercules Uncle Sam) to pull US ont

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 9.-Forest fires
were renewed again today in this re-
gion by heavy southwest gale, which
steadily increased in force. The SIN
was shut out and the horizon again
took on the sickly yellow coat of the
fatal Saturday week ago. There was
great excitement here
The sensation was intensified by the
breaking out of forest fires in the civ
limits. Fire crept around in the under
growth at Oneata and caused some ap-
prehenslon. Then an alarm came in
from Duluth heights, a suburb. which
is surrounded by timber The fire de-
parLment sent up detachment which
little later sent for fire engine.
Ihen excitement was at fever heat, for
news had been coming of the side
tracking of st. Paul & Duluth pas
senger train because of fires on all
sides of it and Mora, on the eastern
Minnesota road, was reported on fire.
AT Kerrick, the inhabitants put in
the afternoon fighting the fire, but
thought in the evening the danger was
over.
Barnum had a narrow escape all
afternoon.
At Kimberly. on the Northern Pa
cific, a large gang of railway laborers
saved the town.
There was a state of terror among
the refugees at Pine City, for it was
feared another cyclone of fire was at
hand.
At o'clock the wind shifted from
southwest to northwest, thus driving
back the flames, and at IL o'clock they
had almost entirely died away. No
danger is now feared, unless the wind
springs up again.
