II IL we're not that your correspondent
had used Mr.. Leverts pet word, "anar-
chist." I would not have attempted TO
answer his criticism. as he has signaily
failed to attack either my figures or ar
puments He struts out few jokes,
which would not be out of place In,
Hostetter's or some other of the old time
almsnacs. He must have had some OF
the last campaign material in stock
when he wabbled out his pyrotechnlcs
on anarchy. The history of the world
at all times shows US that there has al
ways been q struggle between the weak
and the strong. between the poor and
the rich, and in fact, II we accept that
great law. which Darwin and Spencer
have set down, the struggle between the
inferior and superior, is a divine and
immutable law, which govern the low
eat as we'll ss the highest OF natures
creation.
That law, like all Of natures great
truths, helps progress and civilization.
As man advances in the scale OF mental
development, he creates changes In his
surroundings, and the struggle which
before took place between the stronger
and the weaker, In physical strength,
now takes place between intelligence
and ignorance.
Yet. by wise provision Of nature, the
struggle is tempered by an equal distri-
button Of the intelligent and the igno-
rant, In relation to strength, and both
In the struggle for bread, must adapt
themselves to each other. They live in
harmony until one Expresses the other.Le!
the laborer impose its lawless and un'
Just demands upon capital, and capital
will seek other fidlds. and thereby pun
ish labor. Let capital cypress labor
and by that great law which works boil
ways. capital must suffer. This strug
gle is between Mr.. Levert and the peO
pie Of St. Martin. who have realize'
that the town is losing money by tn
discouragingly low price paid for can
which is menace to the cane industry o.
the parish.
Xdidnot suggest the assumption Of arbi
trary or coercivs means to bring Mr.. LIE
vert's prices up, but urged the necessit
of legitimate use Of 'our OWL brain
and our own money" to bring about tn
needed competition, aud that was hi
only Ansrchistic sin, except that he ha'
in addition, availed himself Of tina

THE POLLUTED TECHE.
Efforts Being Made to Prevent Dunn.
ping Of Refuse In That Stream.


ping Of Refuse In That Stream.
The old complaint against sugar
along the Teche
dumping the refuse from their
factories into that stream has
been revived this season with
more persistence than usual, and
steps are being taken in some To-
to put a stop to the nui-
sance. Before the improved ST.
gar houses superseded the old
open kettle methods of manufac-
turing sugar there was no trouble
of this nature along the Teche.
The nuisance and menace to
health are the result of modern
methods of manufacturing, the
chemical refuse from the centri-
fugals being conducted by pipes
from the sugar factories along the
banks of the sluggish stream to
the waters edge.
This refuse Goes not impede ma
vigation, but it pollutes the water
and kills the fish, and as there is
usually not much current in the
Teche, which is shallow stream,
dead fish and decaying matter are
stirred up by passing boats, and
at times the odor becomes very
unpleasant. It is contended also
that the health of the section
where this nuisance prevails is af-
fected by the decaying substances.
When Senator Caffery was in
the city on his way to Washing
ton he called on District Attorney
Gurley and entered complaint
about the condition of affairs in
st. Mary parish, With a view to
compelling the owners of sugar
factories to comply with the Uni.
ted States statutes covering the
case. The Senator was told thai
if the proper afidavits were made
prosecutions would follow.
An agitation is also going on in
Iberia parish to compel the sugar
manufacturers there to dispose OF
their refuse in some other manner
than by dumping it in the Teche
Some of them were first notified
! that they were violating the Law
by those who were injuriously at
fected by the practice. Then thu
police jury warned them to desist
, then the parish attorney was in
structed to take action, but all te
, no purpose. Finally some of thos'
interested in having the practice
: stopped resolved to ask for tn
enforcement of the United State'
. laws covering the case, and Mr.. A
III. Suberbielle came to the city TO
. that purpose. Mr.. Suberbiell
J, called on United States Distric
Attorney Gurley in reference t
o the matter and that official infol
: med him that if sfidavits wer
made in accordance with the la
prosecutions would follow. As tn
people along the Teche are YER
. much worked up over the unples
? SAINT condition of the stream, it
probable that number of afidt
, Wits will shortly be made, and til

charge the cultivation of vacant lots by
the poor have made report speaking
favorably of the result of the plan, not
only for it's productiveness, but for it's
beneficial effects generally on those who
work the land. The Boston committee
did not use scattered lots, but secured
in the suburbs one tract of sixty acres
and divided it into plots of a third of
IN acre each. Fifty-two of the lots were
cultivated, a few of them by women
assisted by children. Most of the
patches we're well cared for, and the

The Proper Way.

DR.. Albert Shaw, a specials. in and
lecturer on municipal government, was
before legislative committee in New
York City last week, and said he be-
1ieved, as a general proposition, that
limited franchises for the use of streets
should be put up at public auction and
sold to the highest bidder. He stated
that New Orleans had recently sold a
franchise for the extension of an cleo
trio street car line for 500, 900, and he
did not consider the sum too large.
Every large city in Europe, he said, is
looking for a tremendous suburbs de-
ve1opment, and complex system of
transit will be necessary in every popu-
Ious center for the convenient inflow
and outflow of passengers.

ALL WORKING FOR pEDloRgEs.
People of Every Class Want to Know
About Their Family Trees.

People of Every Glass Want to Know
About Their Family Trees.
A young New Yorker undertook.
about four years ago, as a matter OF
business, the research of pedigrees and
coat armor both in English and conti-
mental surnames, with view to estab-
fishing the right of families to bear
coat armor by inheritance. He styles
himself a "pursuivant of arms" and
undertakes to search the genealogical
trees of families in this country whose
ancestors came from England, France
or other parts of Europe in early days.
He told me yesterday that the number
of families in this country who are en-
titled to coats of arms, but who are 1g>
norant of their rights, is very large,
the number being particularly great in
the south and west. where the success
sors of ancient families emigrate
many years ago, and have lost sight OF
their family rights in heraldry. His
method is to commence by searching
genealogical works in New York, first
going through those which are accessi-
Bile at the Astor and other libraries.
I'm the United States most family
lines do not go back earlier than 1900
he said. These are comprised in two
divisions, those families who sprung
from peasants and those of other lines.
Of course. the former have no claim to
coats of arms
Having extended his research in this
country as far as possible, he extends
his investigations to Europe. In France
the law compels the mayors in towns
and cities to supply persons who may
apply with free lists of the archives
on file in their respective cities con-
corning coats of arms and on all sub
jects of pedigree. In England such re-
search must be paid for. In New York,
Boston and Philadelphia requests for
a search for coats of arms and family
pedigrees are naturally not as great as
in the west. Families in the east have
given more attention to the establish
ment of their family lines. Yet, not
withstar ling this fact, he says that the
interest in the heraldry and the estab-
ishment of family rights to coat OF
armor is constantly increasing, as is
shown by the growing demand and use
of stamped stationery, and also in
other forms. This demand is also grow.
ing in the west, proving the increased
interest in the establishment of pedi-
grees throughout the country.
