Right d hded people shroughou,
the stste. irrespeetive o. religion,
will sincerely depiore the estabiish-
ment, ii VIM and Grant parishes,
Of lodges of the infamous ofganiza-
ton known as the American Protec-
tive Association, which has caused,
bitter feeling and in some cases the
shedding of blood. 1t was source
of great pleasure to us to believe
that Louisiana was blessed with the
absence from her borders of people
mean and narrow-minded enough
to join such an organization as the
\. P. A, but it appears that the
parishes of Winn and Grant are
cursed with citizens, who, in their
blind fanaticism, would take pleasure
in starving out every person who
dares to diagree with them on the
question of religion. Let us hope
that the good people of these
l arishes will do all in their power
to crush out of existence this viru-
lent and dangerous Form of No
nothingism, which, if not nipped in
the bud, is calculated to cause any
amount of strife and turmoil between
the white people of this State.
Men who will engage in the nefa-
rious work of creating and cultiva-
ting spirit of religious intolerance
are enemies of society-as much so
as the highway robber and the mid
the State of Louisiana, if the fanat-
icaf order of the A. p. a. is per-
mitted to prosecute honest people
and drive them away from their
homes on account of their religious
belief, as has been the case in
North louisiana. The following,
taken from the Times of
July 80, gives one an idea. of the
unmitigated meanness of the A. P.
A. cranks of Grant and Winn
Parishes:
Alexandria, La, July zo.-There is being
organized in Grant and Winn parishes a
society called the t.Junior Oorganization.' -
1t is recruiting members from the Farmers
Alliance and Populist party. The main
features are nti-Democratic and an,i-Cath-
Ole. Senator Bryan and his son Represent
tative Hardy Bryan, seem to be the leading
spirits in it. They will not allow the numer-
Gus mills out there to hire Roman Catholics,
and make it so hot that those processing
that religion are leaving. The rimes-D
crat correspondent met to-day a gentleman
families in Louisiana, and who, has had a
good position at Pollock: lie passed through
en- route to Texas, saying that he had to
leave on account of his Catholicism.
Major w. P. Grimes, ex-Representative
from Grant parish, says they are fully Or
gained. He could not tell whether it was
a branch of the A. P. A. Society or not, as
he did not know thier secrets, having refused
to join it.

Citizens of New Iberia held a
meeting last week and denounced
the recent lynching there in unmea-
sured terms. Resolutions were
adopted denying that the lynching
was done by 'tcil;zens of Iberia" as
reported in city paper. In all
seriousness, who did it? Certainly,
nobody would accuse the people of
Iberia of lynching niger.

Oil of Lavender.

The production of lavender for dis
tiilation is an important branch of the
industry. In the County Of Surrey,
der distilleries. To these the growers
carry their harvestings, to be subjected
to the necessary process. The oil Is
contained in glands situated chiefly on
the calyx, ~corolla, and leaves, but also
to less extent on the branches and
flower stalks. In the process Of dis
tillatlon, two hours are allowed for the
first run" This run gives the clearest
and best oil, and when of a very high
quality 1t Is almost colorless. For the
second run four hours are allowed,
the oil produced being Of a pale amber
tint, and having a stronger, coarser
odor than that which results from the
first run.
When the highest quality Of oil is de-
sired. flowers only are used in the
process. The quality of the oil secured
depends also on the kind Of season in
which the flowers have been grown.
Sunless summers result in a much re-
duced quantity and inferior quality.
There are many acres Of land through
out the kingdom. producing at present
only a scanty crop of grass, which
might be used for the cultivation of the
lavender plant. The demand for 1t is
practically unlimited, and there is,
therefore, little danger OF its being pro-
duced In such quantities that the price
would fall below a remuneratiye level

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Sumatra Tobacco Case Remanded-
Banker AIIfs Ruled Against.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12--In the United
States Supreme Court to-day a decision
was rendered in the case OF Joel b. Ehr-
hardt, formerly collector OF the port of
New York, VS.. Schroeder & Son, of New
York. involving the Interpretation of the
tariff act of 1888 with regard to the duty
on imported leaf tobacco. Schroeder &
Son, as importers. of Sumatra tobacco, in
1889 paid duty of Is cents per pound un
der protest, claiming that they should be
required to pay only IS cents under the
law because of the quality of the tobacco,
less than IS per cent. of II being suitable for
wrappers. In the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern district of New
York this view sustained. The Su-
preme Court reverses the decision and or
ders a new trial before a jury for the
real determination of the character of the
tobacco on the ground that this point had

the opinion of the court, said: The "
dent requirement OF the statute is that s.

of a hundred were to be OF requisite size
and necessary fineness of texture wrap
half leaves out of a hundred ha.f leaves
must contain portion sufficiently fine in
texture, OF the requisite size to make 1T
least one wrapper. Eighty-five pei. cent OF
ed for in that view any single leaf large
enough for wrapper would be, in re-
spect to size. 100 per cent. or entirely of
the requisite size for wrapper purposes.
or If one wrapper could not be made from
1t the leaf would have as to size no per-
certage Of suitability. Hence no general
percentage test would be applicable"
