Our earnest advice to every far.
mer in this parish is to plant q little
cane this year, no matter iii II is ouly
a few rows. Cane will come out
all right in the end. 1t has been
demonstrated that an acre in sugar
cane, gives a clear profit Of from $50
to $50. More than three times the
profit in corn per acre in the north
and west. Northern corn land costs
all way from $40 to 800 an acre.
Southwest Louisiana land costs from
ST to $40 an acre. These are con
ditions that can not long exist.

take the little bow that fastens the

some subtle Influence the supersti-

have an offer of marriage from the
young man in question within the

Campaign at San Jose.
Over Two thousand People Assem-

Hear Him.

SAN JOSE. Sept. 1.-The Republican
campaign opened in San Jose in earnest,
and bon. Morris NJ. Estee, the candidate
for Governor, was given a rousing recep-
ton.
About 1000 people were present at the
Auditorium to hear his speech and keen
enthusiasm was manifest. He spoke for
an hour and half. touching all the prin-
cpal issues and paying considerable atten-
ton to the Populist party. whose platform
he dealt with quite severely. He answered
the criticism of j. V. Webster, the Popu-
list candidate for Governor, who had made
the special poinl against Estee that in
campaigning he did not deal with local
issues. by showing that all he had dealt
with was local issues and of the greatest
Importance.
As TO the Democratic State platform,
Mr.. Estee pronounced it screeching anti
monopoly move, almost Identical with that
of twelve years ago. and he appealed to
any honest Democrat that more monopoly
officers then served than at other time.

Nathaniel PrentIss Banks was born in
Waltham. January 13, 1916; was the son
Of poor parents and enjoyed few advan-
tages of education; learned the trade of
machinist, cultivated his mind at home
lectured before lyceums and studied law;
was elected TO the State Legislature in
1S49 as Democrat, and Speaker in 1851;
in 1852 was sent to Congress, where ne
voted against the Kansas-Nebraska bill
and separated from his party on the ques-
ton of slavery; was returned to Congress
in 1854 by Republicans and KDownothings.
Ia February. 1856. he was elected Speaker
of the House on the one hundred and
thirty-third ballot, after a struggle for over
two months, and won a high reputation as
presiding officer. In November. 1857. he
was elected Governor of Massachusetts,
and reelected in 1859 and 1860; in 1861 was
appointed maior-geDeral of Volunteers,
and served in the war until May, 1864;
November, 1864, 1866. 1868 and 1870 was
elected to Congress, and again in 1876. the
last time by disaffected Republicans and
Democrats.
Although General Banks gave many
years to the service of his country, he
never became pecuniarily enriched there
by. He avoided the speculations and bust
ness enterprises which made mllionaires
Of some Congressman. and his honesty and
Integrity have never Deen questioned.
After leaving the Governors chair he
accepted the vice presidency of the Michi-
gan Central Railroad, but this, with its
emolument, was sacri feed to enter the
civil war. He was not the less, but rather
the more honored in his native place for
this fact. 1t is also said of him that he
ever avoided speaking i'll of his competitors
or political opponents, being noted for his
courteous ways and geniality of soul. He
was best regarded where he was best
known. h aving proved the fallacy of the
adage that prophet is without honor 10
his own country. One of his maxims al
ways was Success is duty"
