The people of Donaldsonville are
being robbed by the insurance trust
and in order to combat it, thew are
considering the establishment of a
mutual insurance company, to be
composed of home people. The
Town Talk advocated something O.
the kind for Alexandria several
years ago.-Town Talk.
Rob is hard word; but it is a
fact painful ,indignatint fact, that
rigid legislation against the insur-
ance forces should be begun. Ut
terly heartless ;Iexacting to the very
greatest extent, they have powerful
lobbyists in every hall of lepisla-

We were informed by private
note on Saturday last from Mr.. p.
A. Zeagler, who resides near Enter

their appearance in his field. This
being the first crop of that destruc-

BILE to make any prediction as to
what may be in store in the future
from that source to cut short the

Help Them Escape.

THE PROGRESS notes in the
Times of this city an ADVERTISE
ment stating that two convicts one
a white man the other negro had
escaped from a camp presumably
near Benton, as the reward asks
for their delivery there.
This escape O: convicts from a
camp brings into humilia ing
notoriety two ugly, grotesque con-
ditions in the publicaffairs of TIE
State. First the degrading fact
that our State convicts arc leased
out at all. The sentence passed
by the trial judge is that they serve
50 many days, months or years at
hard labor in the penitentiary.
Second; each convict is senten-
ced for such time as in the
opinion of the judge the act and
circumstances connected with it
deserve. The Judge, if he be honest
and conscientious, takes all things
in favor Of the prisoner into con-
and he imposes the
lightest sentence that he can.
Now this considered, swhat
these escapes-many of whom are
never heard Of again, from these
long before their sentence
is completed?
Has our States law been vindi-
Gated by this manner OF proceed
ure? Has the convict paid the
penalty of the violated law thus
Iy? Certainly not, but the entire
has thus been made a
farce.
And as to these escapes, THE
thinks it the duty of
every good man, woman and child |
% refuse to disclose the where
abouts of such escapes. One who !
IAN break away from these camps,
n the majority o. whichever are
,old-the poor, unfortupat ate hu-
nan beings are treated worse than |
tnimals, is entitled to his freedom.
The law which allows this lease of |
,onvicts was conceived in iniqui-
y. 1t is the offspring of unholy

50 cents an ounce is the current
quotation. 1t is my honest opin-
| ion that within six months silver

There is no demand for it any
where; China is not buying any,
Japan is out Of the business. and.
there seems to be no demand for

Other men Of prominence who
have studied the silver question
long and earnestly decline to put
themselves on record as positively
as Mr.. Preston does, but nearly
every one questioned whose opin-
ion is entitled to weight expressed
grave doubts about the future of
silver.
The Interior Department is now

of them will be short lived, as his
resignation will be demanded as
soon as the official papers can
catch up with him. The story is |
not so complicated as might be
supposed. AS soon as the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which au-
thorized the appointment of addi-
tional U. S. Commissioners for
Alaska, become a law, Senator
Wilson of Washington, succeeded
in getting w. j. Jones, of his state,
for commissioner at st.
Michael, and his nomination was
promptly confirmed. Then Mr..
Jones wrote to Senator Wilson
saying that he didn't want the
place and would resign and the
Senator notified the Secretary of
the Interior. In order to save time
lIr. L. B. Shepherd was nominated
and confirmed, and started for St.
Michael, the Klondike gold excite
nent having added much impor-
5ance to the position. When the
Department heard from

WASHINGTON LETTER,
Special Correspondence.

Washington, August 9, 1897.
The return Of Secretary Sherman
to Washington and his resump-
ton of his duties as Secretary of
State, at this time, when almost
the entire administration is on
vacation, has started the rumor
mill to working over time, al
though Mr. Sherman declares that
his return has no signfiance what
ever; that he resumed work be-
cause he like it, and that he in
tends working right through the
rest Of the summer, unless a spell
of warm weather should drive him
away for another little rest. Most
of the rumors are connected in
some way with Japan and Hawaii.
but this may be because of the re-
ported intention OF Minister Sc
wall to declare a protec5ora.e over
Hawaii, which was brought on one
of last weeks steamers, or because
Of Secretary Sherms n having Of
ficially notified Japan that the
United States would not guaran-
tee the carrying out of the verdict
of the arbitration between Japan
and Hawaii.
Some Of the facts brought out in
the hearing now going on before
the Patent Office, in which John |
Wedderburon & Co., are being al
lowed an opportunity to show
cause why they should not be dis
barred from practice before that
Office for fraudulent practices,
should greatly interest the inven-
tors of the country. For instance,
Patent Office officials have testi-
fed that Of the more than 3, 100
applications for patents filed with
III two years in that Office by We'd
derburn 4 Co., more than 1900
have been absolutely unpatenta-
Die, for lack Of novelty, and the
patentable points in a large num-
OF the remainder have been of
such an insignificant nature as not
TO Justify the inventor in paving

That the firm has solicited and in

vices, as we'll as sought and OBJ
