The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1895-01-19

The Gazette would like to know
why some newspapers are always
ready to give advice to the farmers,
who, it seems to us are getting
along as we'll as the rest of the folks.
Why not tell the carpenters, the
blacksmiths, the painters, the doc
tors and the lawyers how to work?
Why should the same things be
drummed into the ears of the horny
handed tillers of the soil every time
an editor is short of news to fill his
paper7 No, gentlemen, our farmers
know how to run their farms, anC
if many of them have been unsuce ss
full in late years the causes are the
same that have crippled nearly every
industry in the country.

The Louisiana delegation ap-
peared before the committee on ap
p1opriations yesterday and made an
earnest appeal for the payment of
the bounty on last years crop as a
matter Of simple justice to the sugar
planters of this State. The argu
,nents of Senators Caffery and Blan-
chard, and Messrs. Boatner and
Price were forcible and received a
respectable hearing, but the char
acter of the questions put from
time to time by the members Of the
committee showed that there is very
little disposition on their part to
grant the bounty. This is dis
couraging, as few weeks ago,
there was some reason to hope that
the Justice of the claims Of the
planters would be recognized and
the committee make a favorable re
port.-States.

The supervising Architect, at
Washington, has sent to Mr.. Grant
Wilkins, Chief of Construction for
the Cotton States and International
Exposition at Atlanta, two plans.
for tie enlargement Of the Govern
ment Building. The edifCe as
originally planned was to be 1oox2oo
feet. The amount allowed for its
construction was $50, 900. AS the
bid was only se7,44o, the surplus
will be used to enlarge the building.
One plan proposes the addition OF
eighty feet to the length The
other proposes forty feet addition
to the length, and a seventy foo
annex. Mr.. Wilkins has sugges-
ton for widening the building to
make it approximately square. 1t
will be remembered scveret weeks
ago an arrangement was effected
whereby the Exposition Company
turns over to the Government Com
mission the Mineral and Forestry
Building, 1oox5oo feet, making that
a government building and placing
minerals and forestry under con
troll of the Government Commits
.,on. With this building and the
proposed enlargement the U. S
win have about the same space il
had at Chicago, with or cate
variety of exhibits.
