THE WALLACE SHOWS.

The celebrated Wallace circus
reached here last Wednesday on
scheduled time and gave performances
IN the afternoon and at night. Not
outstanding the muddy condition Of
our streets due to the heavy rainfall OF
Monday, the street parade which took
place before the AFTERNOON perfor M
ance was cieditable and much appre-
ciated.
Mr. Wallace has a big stock Of fine
horses, and the cavalcade of actors
y actresses, in bright new costumes,
riding these noble animals, gaily ca
parisOned, was not the least attraction
OF the street parade and presented a
grand sight in the general marches
which ushered in each performance.
The acting was good and there was
plenty Of il, in fact, too much to at
tempt any description. There were
some new feats exhibited, which receiv-
"a well merited applause.

"If you have some thing nice to sell
cover it up and don't advertise it. In
this way you will always have it On

Why, this is worse than .~ssweetness

some merchants are concerned. They
don't need to be told to do this thing :

Our esteemed contemporary, the
lberville South remarks anent IN edi-
torial Of the Donaldsonville times on
what is becoming q vexatious Ques-
ton.
"The Donaldsonville Times com
plains that the heavy importation Of
Italian and Sicilian laborers to the
plantations is an evil that requires at
tention. The Times very correctly
says that when q cnlOred man gets
bold of II dollar the coin Immediately
%circniates, bnt when mi Italian gets
mold Of one off to Italy it goes. The
negro IL a far better citizen than the
Italian and TIL employment ct the
latter by the planters in preference 10
the former has never been Intelligent
ly explained"
We have discussed this matter with
ON employers 81 tins class Of labor
ers and invariably they claimed that
the Italian is preferable to the negro
because more reliable. He is apt and
readily learns to work and can be de-
pended on to work when needed,
while the negro is given to 'lay off,
when he is most in demand.
While this quality Of steadiness is
desirable, it is nevertheless true that
the Italian laborers are Of very little
good to the community at large. They
live segregated lives. dealing almost
exclusively among themselves, seldom
spend a nickel with our merchants,
and send their earnings abroad. No
community car prosper with such a
class OF laborers, and wherever u
native white and colored labnrers will
do as well,-and they can do much
better, whenever they are SO minded
they should be gwen the preference
over the Italians.

In speaking Of the revival of bust
ness since the election a correspon-
dent of the New York World invites
attention to tue significant fact that
this Improvement ia manufactures and
in general prosperity has taken place
under existing tariff conditions-in
other words, that we do not need n
additional tariff duties-and adds
Tbs truth will become more plainly
manifested during the next fpnr
mouths"
The manufacturers are committing
a serious mistake in thus heralding 4
revival of business under the present
tariff, for when they seek under the
new administration to have the tariff
rates raised they will fird the present
revival a stumbling block in their
way. Perhaps, the manufacturers
have come to the conclusion that a
tariff schedule averaging over 40 per
cent. is high enough for practical pur-
poses.

HE TOOK IT

Dom Platt in q very entertaining
article on the Newspaper Hnmor III

The late Charles Reade, author Of

g'lsh language, first called my atten-
ton to the peculiar character Of our
press. "The enterprise" he said. "is
amazing. An American newspaper il

such is like putting ones head out II

also. But" he continued, "such pub
locations are not possible in England.
The lack Of reverence would shock orr
people. Why, listen to th1s.n and he
read: ".Jacob Thompson, an estima-

fortune in dealing in picked pigs

The managers Of the Sugar Trust
are so we'll pleased with the result Of
the election that they have frozen the
Baltimore members Of the organiza-
tion Out. However there will be
precious little sympathy expressed for
the Baltimore crowd, as they should
have understood that there is no honor
among thieves
The only pity is, that in their inor
dinate greed they do Dt all freeze
themselves out Tor all time. The
Sugar trust, and all other trusts for
that matter, ought to be %strangled out
of existence witiolt much ado.
