Jamaica and Coffee.

But after all, Judging from what
q planter and several others told me,
whatever crops are under discussion,
whether pimento, logwood or ba-
nanas and oranges, coffee remains the
finest present product of Jamaica,
for the Blue mountain and the pea
berry kinds-the latter beinG the
finer of the two-have no equals,
perhaps even in Mocha. They are
bought up year before grown for
the Liverpool market and are here
supposed to be all intended for
Russia.
The peaberry derives it's name
from an apparent freak OF nature,
one round pea instead of twin seeds
being found within the coffee berry
and containing double flavor.
These single berries or peas are hand
picked from out of the general mass.
Some of the best coffee plantations
are said to be quite small. but stu.
ated in favored gullies in the hills
where the soil is extremely rich, be-
ing an alluvial deposit brought down
by streams and winter torrents. As
with canes, SO with the coffee.
Many of the latter grounds need re-
planting after 16 years. But the
Blue mountain trees are famous for
being perhaps 90 years of age

PRONUNCIATION
OF THE
Proposed Amendments
OF THE
Constitution Of the State Of Louisiana,
ADOPTED BY THE
General Assembly Of 1894. ii
STATE OF LOUISIANA.


OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE. {
In pursuance of the provisions of the
Constitution, publication is hereby made
and given to the qualified electors of the
State of Louisiana of the proposed
amendments to the Constitution, which
have been concurred in by two-thrds of
all the members elected to each House of
the General Assembly of this State, at

and which are required to be published
for the information of the qualified cleo
tors Of this State for three months pre-
ceding the general election for Repre-
sentatives, and which proposed amend
ments more fully appear in Joint Resolu-
tons 1872 to POP inclusive of the Regular
Session Of 1894; which are hereinafter
officially published for the information OF
the qualified electors of this State, and
which will be submitted to them for
their approval or rejection at the next

Censure Of Mr.. Bayard.

The censure OF Mr.. Bayard BY the
House of Representatives was a
purely partisan performance, except
for the help which the Republicans
received from half q dozen Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Bayard's offense was that
in public speech in England he said
that the system of protection was
protection of corruption in American
politics. In saying this he stated an
automatic truth, as every national
election and every session of Con-
gress proves. But the Republican
party has adopted protection as its
foundation principle and is interest
ed in representing it as something
particularly sacred, peculiarly Amer
ican, which no man can attack with
out laying himself open to the suspi-
cion of being unpatriotic.
We shall be surprised if MIR. Bay
ard pays any attention whatever to
the action of the House. He ought
to understand that he is merely the
victim of the Republican desire TO
make campaign capital. His speech
would have passed unnoticed by
Congress had this not been the year
in which President is elected.

The Democrat Journal, published
at Mansfield by that big-hearted
gentleman and overture Democrat,
J. T. M'Clanahan, could say nothing
truer than what it says in the follow
ing paragraph:
"The Democratic party is the
party Of tho people, originated with
our Constitution, and is a part
thereof, under whose guidance and
supervision the entire world would
prosper and be happy. 1t is not
limited in it's sphere of action to one
idea or issue, nor is it an exponent
of Capitalization or class legislation,
nor of monopolies or protection and
upbuilding of the few to the impov-
erishment and downfall of the MANY.

Suffrage Reform Necessary.

Mansfield Democrat-Journal.l
Revolutions never go backwards.
The suffrage amendment may be de-
feated, owing to the cowardice and
treachery of Democratic politicians,
but the sentiment in favor of suffrage
reform is here to stay. The intelli-
gent masses, those who, when they
assert themselves, rule States, are
tired of having to endure every four
years such upheavals in politics as
Louisiana is subjected to. AS con-
temporary puts it, they do not wish
to pass "their lives in state of semi
warfare" But such is the case now,
has been for years, and will continue
to be until the ballot is confined to
those who appreciate it and know
how to use it.

At the First Methodist church in
Atlanta last Thursday the Rev.
George Stuart preached most elo-
quent and moving sermon, from
which we take the following para:
graph:
"Many think it a sin to be rich
and virtue to be poor. The moral
ity of prosperity lies in the fact as
to how you got it and what you do
with it. If you get your money by
honest toll and use it for good it will
be wings to lit you heavenward.-
If you get your poverty by indo-
lence and vagabondage it will be a
weight to drag you hellward."
Mr.. Stuart told of the wife that
would make bills that her husband
had to pay with his sweat ard blood
to keep her and her daughters in
society. He drew an opposite pic
ture of a good woman who said to
her husband when he was about to
make an assignment: "'You must
pay a hundred cents on the dollar.
[ will wash and cook and do the
housework and you must pay hun
dred cents on the dollard. I had
rather be ostracised socially than 60
down in character and honor That
same man told me that by the LIST of
January next he would not owe a
dollar in the world. So much for
good wife,
