SPL ENDD RECEPTION.

The reception rendered the Louis
lana Press Association by the peo-
pie Of Donaldsonville was marked
] throughout by such an open-handed
hospitality that the members of the
association were made to feel per-
fectly at home as long as they re-
manned in the beautiful little city.
1t is no exaggeration to say that no
town or city in Louisiana could
have given more fitting reception
to the newspaper men. The peo-
pie of the town, headed by the in
defatigable editor of the Chief, L.
E. Bentley, ably assisted by
Messrs. Kline, Vega, Simms and
others, had left nothing undone to
make the stay of their guests one of
pure pleasure, and how we'll they
succeeded need not be told. The
fair ones did their part SO well that
! we fear some of the bachelor men,
bers of the association will long
cherish some pleasant memories
of their visit to the historic town on
the Mississippi.
The Gazette will not give an &C
count of the meetings of the asso-
citation, the New Orleans papers
having already published the entire
proceedings. We will only express
our thanks to the people of the
town for the splendid way in which
they received and entertained the
association. The visits to the pa
latial plantation homes of Hons.
Henry Mccall and Jas. A. Ware
were a source of much pleasure to
all. The members of the associa-
ton from the different parts of the
State were enabled to see the sugar
fields of Ascension and 1berville
parishes, thereby obtaining much
valuable information concerning the
cultivation of cane and its manufac-
ture into sugar.
The reception at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Bentley was a most bril-
liant affair and will never he forgot
ten by the country editors, who,
for time at least, were oblivlous
of their troubles, and gallantly led
the fair daughters of Ascension,
keeping time to the music of the
dance with most exquisite grace.
The theatrical entertainment and
concert at the Opera House shows
that Donaldsonville possesses his
trionic and vocal talent of a high
order.
The editor Of this paper returns
sincere thanks to MIR. and Mrs.
Kline to whose home he lad the
good fortune to be assigned by the
committee.

THE END OE PRIZE FIGHT
y ING nv Louisiana.
Jew Orleans States,

Ne" orleans SlllGS
No decision in years has pleased the Peo'
OF this city and State more than that of the
Supreme Court yesterday which declared
that the glove contests given by the Olympic
and other alleged athletic clubs were in con-
travention of the law prohibiting prize fight
ing in louisiana. The decision, to the great
satisfaction of the community, will put an
end to the brutal pugilistc ''carnivals,' Us
they are called, which have done so much
to disgrace New Orleans and to bring down
upon people the sneers and the re-
proaches of the whole country.
For the past three or four years the press
has protested earnestly and cinphatca!ly
against these prize fights. because they were
degrading and demo-alizing the youth of
our city, and cultivating in them the spirit
of the hootlum and thug. Thanks, how
ever, to the Supreme Court New Orleans
will! never again be advertised abroad the
ssMecca' of puglists and the 'sParadlse' of
sports. and be overrun as it has been in the
past by the horde of nnurderers, thieves and
hoodluIns who were attracted from all sec
tons of the country by the Sullivan Corbett
brutal, bloody and disgusting exhibitions
of smuggling.

RECZPR Must BE
PR4 CZICED.

ST. Martfnville Messenger.
An animated discussion occurred
in our presence a few days since
over the question that one will in
ztz,IabLy buy in the cheapest mar
ket. every article Of househ old use
for the family. So far as it relates
to our home merchants, we say cor
rect. But when it is made a pre-
text to buy away from home, we
alphabetically say it is wrong, and
should not be done.
Why?
Because, primarily, it reduces
our money circulation, and, there
by, in it's many ramifica:ions, works
loss to and injuriously effects sew
eral lines of business.
Let us illustrate: Suppose a dry
goods merchant, to save few
cents, sends to Solari or some
other New Orleans merchant $50
bill of groceries for the family use,
at is just that much taken away
from our local grocery men; with
that money the grocery men could
buy dry goods for their families,
and would, perhaps, buy from this
same merchant. SO that in sending
that money away it goes out of home
hands, and is lost to local circula-
ton. Now the New Orleans mer-
chant, does not spend a cent here
he has no family, no clerk hire,
no rent, and benefits no one here.
On the other hand our local
grocerymen, buy their dry goods
and other necessities from their
home merchants and keep that
money going from merchant to
m merchant, and all get slice of it;
and, in consequence, business is
moving right along.
Now, suppose, for family use, the
dry goods man should buy his gro
ceries in the city; the hardware man
should buy his dry goods in the
city; the druggist should buy his
groceries, dry goods, hardware, and
furniture in the city; the grocery
man should buy, also, all these
things in the city; and the general
buyer would go to the hardware
man to order his groceries from the
city, or. the grocery man would be
requested to order some dry goods
from Holmes for his customers,
! will some one tell us where: the good

Great Britain has occupied the
port of Corinto for the purpose of
collecting the customs in order to
force Nicaragua to pay $4,000 in
demnity for expelling Consul Hatch

indignities to- other British subjects.
Nicaragua has protested against it,
and declared Corinto closed port,
at the same time cutting Corinto off
from all communications with the
interior. This move has compli-

The fact that the use of rice as
feed has passed the experimental or
probationary stage, as evidenced by
the Jennings farmers experience, it
ought surely to become the rule
with all Louisiana farmers, at any
rate those in the rice districts, to
give up the importation of the most
costly grain feed, and to confine
themselves to the home growth.
If this were done, the Westlake
News vouches for it that Southw west
Louisiana would save at home an
nually 500, 900 more or less for
feed stuffs. -Times-Democrat.

SUGAR.,

The outlook for considerable
Improvement in the price of sugar
is very bright. The present dis
turbances in Cuba will undoubtedly
interfere very materially with the
sugar crop and thus curtail the
amount that is usually imported
from that island Since Cuba is
one of the chief sugar producing
countries that furnishes sugar to the
United States, it can be readily seen
that failure or short crop there,
means a raise in price for the
Louisiana growers. Besides, the
tariff will necessarily add that
amount to the value Of the product
here. And since the large stock
bought by the Sugar Trust just
prior to the passage of the tariff, is
now all used up, the demand for
home sugar will therefore be
greater, and sugar must command a
better price than last year. Al
together the prospects a very en-

AS usual before an election
the question of representation has
been brought up. No matter how
thoroughly or how satisfactorily
that question may be and has been
settled, there are always some who
think that they can do it better, or
else work it to their advantage.
However, at present, the representa-
ton is fixed, and SO it will stay, at
least until the next election is over,
SO there is no use kicking.

While The Gazette do IS not wish

women who wear boomers, the fol-

simply for information:
''The women shall not that which

an abomination unto the Lord, thy God.''
A bright contemporary remarks
that this does not apply to boomers,
for no sane man has ever been
known to wear boomers. Some
time ago lady-writer in the Arena
claimed that breeches were original
ly worn by woman who have per-
feet right to wear them when they
see fit. Between the silver issue
and the bloomer question it is hard
