Mr.. Editor:

INDIGNATION MEETING.
Communicated

Quite a stir was created last week
among the professionals Of our parish,
caused by letter addressed to our
Sheriff d. Rees by MIR. Heard. State Au-
ditOr of Louisiana.
In that letter. the Auditor severely re-
primands our efficient sheriff and tax
collector for failing to enforce the col
lection Of Licenses'due the State by At
tOrneys at-law and by Phys icians, re-
marking that mot one single lawyer
and very few doctors in this parish seem
to have discharged that obligation to
the State, for the years 1893 and 1894.
Now is it not infamous on the part Of
mother state to demand, in these days of
misery, with the Bar, the payment of a
License? Is it not great injustice to
compel the Tax Collector to drag in
Court all the lawyers Of this Parish and
most of the physicians. by the means of
law, and force them either to pay up
or shut up" their shops. But still that
is what the auditor orders our Sheriff
to do.
We understand that an indignation
meeting will forthwith be called by the
Bar Of this parish. to consider this very
serious matter; and we anticipate and
that measures will be adopted by the
meeting which might necessitate the
importation Of new lawyers, il the
Sheriff intends to have one to assist him
in enforcing that odiOus law.

and the Democratic caucus followed his
advice, the action taken was distasteful
to a majority Of the House Democrats.
and will leave much bitterness behind.
It is to be feared that the present tariff
bill will not long remain unchanged.
The House, indeed. would like to begin
the work Of amending at once: and If
there is slight change In the constitu-
ton Of the Senate. with the Democrats
still in power, we may look for modi-
fication Of the bill In the direction Of
that proposed originally by Mir. Wilson;
whereas, il the Republicans are ever
able. they will try to return to the Me-
Kinlcy bill. Unless, therefore. Congress
remains very much as it is constituted
TO- day, we may expect serious amend
ments at an early day.
Louisiana has Jared badly. 1t is true
that it might have Jared worse had not
our Senators secured what they did for
ue, but the bill as passed is none the less
a blow. When the time that the raw
sugar dnty went into effect was changed
from next January to the date OF the
passage Of the bill. it left the present
crop practically unprotected and with
out bounty. An attempt was made to
set right this manifest injustice by pay
ing a portion at least Of this years
bounty. A pledge to that effect was gil
ven by the Democratic leaders, but bro
ken. There remained only the desper-
ate remedy of forcing the Senate to pro-
vide for the bounty by the Louisiana
Senators refusing to vote for the bill
unless this were done. The action Of
the House in accepting the Senate bill
without change renders this remedy i'm
possible. The only chance now is to
provide for the bounty in separate in
dependent measure. The necessary bill
has been introduced, but it would be
folly to entertain any hope of its pass
age through both houses.
It will, Of course. be great hardship
and injustice to our planters, and the
only consolation they will have is their
escape with anything. The Trust has
loaded up with raw sugar in anticipa-
ton of the passage Of the bill and the
placing OF duty on it. It Is said to
have imported 80 much sugar that the
Senate bill will give it profit Of $4O,-
100000. These large importatiOns, in
excess of the possible consumption OF
the country. threaten to depress prices
to the great injury Of the Louisiana
planters.
1t is. Of course. an outrage. and the
bounty is due In law and equity, hut We
know what claims against the govern
ment are worth when Congress refuses
to make appropriations for them. There
are some revolutionary claims. the jus
tice Of which are undisputed. but which
are unpaid yet. because no provision
has been made for them.
The action Of Congress in refusing Il
pay the bounty will be tempOrar!
shock to Louisiana, which comes at al
inopportune time. Our planters will b.
, prepared in future crops to meet tn,
new conditions, and the price Of suga
will not be deprecated, by large impor
tations Of free raw sugars. They viii
have to come down to greater economies
and the sugar industry can scarcely b,
expected to show the impetus of the las
: few years.

If the Democrats will have enough
left to hold reputable caucus after
the coming election they should get
together and adopt some sort of a
platform which will let the general
public know where they stand. In
New York they have denounced the
income tax, a Democratic measure,
and in Pennsylvania they are trying
to elect men who publicly acknowledge
themselves as protectionists. In
Ohio they want free silver, in Massa-
chusetts they demand a gold standard.
On scarcely a question of national i'm
pcrtance are two state conventions ,of
the same opinion. The party is
rapidly going to pieces and will con-
tinue so until it returns to the
Chicago platform end also rids itself
of the leeches who are on its back.

The Democratic congressional cam
paign committee, according to our
Washington correspondent, clsims
only six Democrats from P Pennsylvania,
instead of the present ten. Among
the four districts which are consider.
ed lost is the twelfth, remarkable
confession from the national party
managers. The estimates of the
chairman, Senator Faulkner, are very
conservative. but if the leaders consid-
cred it even doubtful they would not
concede the district SO willingly to
the Republicans. Coming, as this
does. so early in the campaign, goes
only to prove the claims made by the
Tribune for more than year past,
that Congressman Hines cannot be
reelected. Every effort of the party
workers should now be spent in try
Ing to save the county ticket from
going down to defeat with him.

Colonel Singerly Indignantly denies
that he has given up hopes of being
elected governor. He read the riot
act week Or two ago to the Democrats
in the third congressional district,
and some Republicans Immediately
shouted that he had thrown up the
sponge. Such conclusion was made
only by those who did not know
Singerly. He is not tainted with
cowardice. He is a fighter and be-
longs to the class that don't run away.
The colonel is in the field until the
polls close on election day, and every
citizen who wishes to register himself
against class legislation Ind unwhole-
some laws in Pennsylvania must not
forget to give his vote to the editor of
the Philadelphia Record.

About a year or so ago Congress-
men McAleer aud Mutchler headed
the combine that was going to smash
every one of Cleveland's plans unless
the president agreed to turn over
to them the full control of official
patronage in their districts. Both
men thought they were so secure of
continued power in their own districts
that nothing would interrupt their
political careers, yet how easily each
was disposed of by the Democratic
conventions? Pulled up with conceit
they considered themselves bigger
than the party, but now they realize
that they are very little potatoes in
the political world. Some of the
small-fry kickers, such as Billy Hines,
were SO unfortunate as to receive re-
nominations, but they will be sent to
keep company with their anti-adminis-
stration leaders.

about three weeks and tested it quite
thoroughly. For roasting, baking and
boiling, in fact any kind of cooking, it
cannot be excelled. We therefore cheer

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, September 2S, 1894.
Chairman Faulkner, of the Demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee,
consented this week for the first time to
give out his estimate of the result of the
congressional elections. He figures,
after making most liberal allowance
for doubtful districts, too liberal many
Democrats think, that there will be in
the next house 100 Democrats, 1856 Re-
publicans and 10 Populists. AS instances
of his liberality in making allowance for
doubtful districts it may be mentioned
that he only claims the election of 8
Democratic representatives in Illinois,
while the estimate of the Republican
campaign committee comedies the cleo
ton of II Democrats in that state; he
only claims in Louisiana, while the
Republicans concede g. in South Carolina
he claims 4 and the Republicans concede
5. In Pennsylvania each side estimates
on "a Republicans and 6 Democrats.
The defeat of the Democratic candidate
in your district is conceded by Senator
Faulkner. The present congress has 90
Republicans and 10 Democrats from
Pennsylvania. The chairman counts on
again electing the candidates in the
third, eighth, ninth, seventeenth, twenty
sixth and twenty eighth districts. This
means Republicans as successors of
Messrs. Hines, Reilly, Beltzhoover and
Sipe. The Republican committee S
estimate on the country for the next
congress is 200 Republicans, 147 Demo-
Gratis and Populists.

Senator Hill is just the sort of man
who makes strong friends and bitter
enemies in his own party, but the bitter
est of his enemies will concede that he
has wonderful hold on the Democratic
voters of New York, which he has
demonstrated time and time again. Cir
cumstances having made it necessary
that the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor of New York should be a man who
could bring out the full Democratic vote
of the state, which is always majority,
it logically followed that Senator Hill
was that man. For that reason Demo-
Gratis in Washington, whether they be
his friends or his enemies, were pleased
with Senator Hills nomination and are
confident that he will be elected, A
member of the cabinet was asked by a
personal friend how he supposed Presi-
dent Cleveland would regard the nomi-
nation, and he quickly replied: "Why,
just as all other good Democrats do; as
the best that could possibly have been
made under existing circumstances
The president wishes New York to be
carried by the Democrats, and l know
he believes that with Senator Hill at the
head of the ticket it will be-" "But

tive friend "Let us win the campaign
of '94," replied the member of the cabi-
net; "then we can begin to discuss the
probabilities and possibilities of &c.,"

The new tariff abrogated all the
reciprocity treaties made under the Nc
Kinley law, and the formal notice
served upon the state department by
Brazil of its intention to abrogate the
reciprocity treaty between that govern
ment and the United States on January
l, 1893, was merely compliance with
the expressed terms of the treaty, which
were that either country should give the
other three months notice. So far as
this country was concerned, the treaty
was abrogated the day the new tariff
became a law. Mr.. Mendonca, the
Brazilian minister, when asked what
effect he thought it would have upon
the trade relations of the two countries,
said: "The rates will not be materially
raised by Brazil, and / am expecting
this country to make large increase in
sending manufactured woolens to Brazil
as result of the new wooden manu-
featuring induced by free raw wool in
the new tariff law. Outside of these
items few changes will occur by the ter
mination of the reciprocity" S.

mans pay dependent more upon luck in

$500 REWARD
FOR ORE THIEVESl

The common experience of this
camp shows that much is lost by
the mine operators by the stealing
of gold in specimens, if not in
amalgam and bullion. Therefore
the "Ohi Abe" Co. offers a stand
ing reward of Three Hundred Dol
lars for the arrest and conviction,
or for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of any person
guilty Of stealing any of the prop
erty of the Old Abe Co., even the
smallest specimen of ore. The rule
of this company is to mill all spe-
cimens. Therefore none of the ore
from this mine can be honestly
held as specimens. And as the re-
ceiver, with guilty knowledge, is as
guilty in law as the thief, this Of
fer applies to the holders of Old Abe
specimens.
