A nnmhnr nt Rennhlican

A number OF Republican newspapers
now admit that the Dingley tariff will
be inadequate as a revenue producer,
aud 1T is impossible TO escape this
conclusion in view of the fact that
each week shows a greater decrease
I'D customs receipts than the preceding
one. To stop the deficiency these
newspapers propose that the Dingley
bill be taken up at the regular session
OF Congress and amended in many Of
its features. If this il done the whole
tariff question will be opened again
to the detriment OF the business inte-
rests OF the country, and again, it 10
not by any means improbable that if
the bill were to be taken no for
amendment that the duties which are
now shutting N imports would be
increased instead of lowered. To
amend the tariff bill however, and
reduce the rates would be tantamouut
to a confession on the part of the
republicans chat it is an utter failure
and rather than make such an ac-
acknowledgement to the country they
Will allow it to stand and force the
administration to issue bonds to cover
the deficiency in the treasury.-States.

SHOULD H4 TE KNOWN BET
TER.

Last Wednesday morning Caut. J..
L. Aucoin. President of the board Of
health of this parish, received a letter
from Coroner Ago informing him that
Mr.. Jules Godchaux had violated the
quarantine regulations and had sur
reptitiousiy entered the parish at
Raceland. without the knowledge OF
the guards, and was at that time at
his home on Raceland plantation. DR..
Ago further requested that the he alth
authorities from this place should take
the matter ID hand and deal with Mr..
Godchaux. The news created much
suppressed excitement and great
Indignation at the fact that one of the
police Jurors, who are supposed to be
the guardians Of the public health IN
this trying junctIre. should set the
bad example Of violating one of the
ordinances adopted by the jury to
safeguard the parish. To make the
matter worse, 1t seems that Mr.. God
chaux had te.~ egraphed son ETH ne before
to inquire if he could enter the parish,
and had received answer by telegram
that he could not, unless he sojourned
ten days in some northern or western
non-infeeted place anu came directly
from such place with proper health
certificates. This shows AN utter con
tempt on tue part of Mr.. Godcnaux,
not only for law itself, but for the
members OF his own body who censti-
tute the board of health, and demon
strates his unworthiuess to be on the
police jury of an enlightened parish.
DR.. Ago should not have lost time
to correspond with the authorities
here, but should have at once used all
the power of the law in enforcing the
quarantine regulations against Mr..
Godehaux, wlrhout fear or favor.
At it is, the authorities here COM
maDdeu the coroner TO at once have
Mr.. Godchanx arrested and isolated
until further orders, and later in The
day the whole board in session gave
peremptory orders that he be arrested
and sen back on the first train going
to New Orleans, which, we are inform
ed, was done.
So far, so good, but as soon as may
be, the delinquent member If the
police jurs should be prosecuted and
made t, feel the penalty of the law,
it he will na: respect its majesty.

REPORTOF THE GRAND JURY,

To the Hon.. P. Caillouet. Judge OF
the Eighteenth Judicial Dist. Court

and this u final report, We have
found "a prisoners in Jail, and have
indicted u for murder, the others
the District Attorney informed us lie
has filed informations.
From our Investigation and inquiry
We recommend to the Police Jury
the necessity Of placing strong wire
screens before the jail windows for
the purpose of keeping dangerous
weapons and other matter that can
be easily reached to the prisoners
from the outside. We have also ex-
amined the sheriff's and clerks ofic o
and find in SO far as the records are
concerned kept in perfect order buu
do advise that the necessary furniture
to equip their offices should be fur
nished, aud that also the Sheriff's
house is hardly habitable for the rea-
son that it leaks very much which is
causing rot and the paper TO fall, aud
consider il wise that the proper au
thorities should give it their imme-
diate attention as it is public property
aud is going to ruin, and later on
repairs will be of no avail whatever
We have been informed that these
suggestions have been repeatedly
made and no action taken IN the mat
ter. and trust that the Police Jury
will heed these timely suggestions.
We find the Jail in good condition,
and the prisoners are we'll taken care
of. We have examined into the par
ish treasurer's report and find bis re-
port to be correct, to wit:

in Vogue This Season.
Applique vines of lace are used for
trimming the front skirt seams and
corsage of evening gowns of white,
yellow, turquoise, pink, lavender or
Nile green silk.
Becoming neck arrangements show a
high Medici collar effect at the back
and in front a large bow Of tulle or a
lace cravat. Dotted gauze or tulle is
more becoming than the plain.
The willow plumes or "plumes de
soule," which were accorded high favor
last fall, viii appear again this season
ON high grade millinery. They are par
ticularly graceful on velvet hats.
Among new fall models there are very
lovely empire jackets of green. brown.
gray and blue velveteen, some left plain,
others embellished with edgings of
black or gray astrakhan.
Several of the very latest hats show
thick Turkish twists of pelsse or silk
muslin encircling the crowns or resting
well out on the brims. At the front
or left side these twists are knotted
and finished with bird with
outstretched wings.
Materials for tailor costumes and all
OF similar make are to be comparative
ly quiet in tone, with touches only Of
bright color, and vigorous twills, whip
cords, covert cloth, serge and Bedford
cords in n number of varieties can be
relied upon as correct.
Rows Of black satin ribbon in gradu-
ated widths, laid in bayadere effect
from hem to waist line. are an ultra
fashionable trimming for black skirts
in the newer weaves. 1t is. however
hardly necessary to say that such =
skirt is becoming only TO very tall, slim
figures.-Philadelphia Times.

THE ON WORLDS WHEAT.

The monthly review Of the foreign
crop situation has been issued by the
Department of Agriculture. 1t shows
that the early reports regarding the de-
ficiency in the Russian wheat crop were
well-founded and that after November
Russia can be relied upon for only a
very moderate shipment. The large
stocks of wheat left over and the good
prices prevailing in the outside mar
kets probably induced the Russians to
export more wheat than they could af-
ford to let go out of the country.
The preliminary official figures for
France show a reduction of 26 per cent.
below 1896 and II per cent below the
average for ten years AS for five years
France and Russia produced 26 per
cent. of the worlds crop, the review
says a heavy shortage in both coun-
tries would, therefore, be sufficient in
itself to produce very sensible effect
on the worlds supply, independent OF
the short crops in Austria-Hungary, the
Danubian and Balkan countries and
elsewhere, and the shortness of the last
crop in India, Australasia and Argen-
tina.
In Germany rye, which is the princi-
pal bread grain of that country, has
been officially estimated at per cent.
less than last years crop. The vari-
Gus estimates for Austria-Hungary are
more or less conflicting, but there is no
doubt as to there being a heavy deficit
in the wheat crop. The wheat crop OF
the United Kingdom is estimated at
fifty and two-thirds million bushels.
The preliminary estimate of the Italian
wheat crop makes it 5,131 900 bushels
against 144, ,722, 200 last year. The Rou-
mania wheat crop is estimated at 81
134,72O bushels. The Bulgarian wheat
crop is estimated at 40 per cent, rye at
35 to 40 per cent, and barley at % per
cent. less than last year. The wheat
crop Of Turkey has been estimated at
SO, 800, 900 imperial bushels. AS regards
crops now growing in the Southern
Hemisphere, the news continues to be
favorable on the whole. In Argentina
drought, which for time in some
provinces threatened serious injury,
seems to have been generally broken,
and danger of any serious loss from
such a source seems now, in the ad-
vanced state OF the crop, to have passed.
The Indian wheat crop has been sown
under favorable conditions, and the
same is in general true of the Winter
grain crops of Europe, and both in In
dia and Europe the weather seems in the
main to have been very favorable to the
growth of the seed.
These deficiencies in the crops of the
old world mean that American wheat
will benefit, and when American wheat
and other cereals are up in price the
whole country shares the benefit.

Good OF the onion.

Onions are really sweeteners Of the

passed away, says one learned doctor.
They correct stomach disorders and
carry of the accumulated poisous Of
the system. They provide a blood puri-
Ger that all may freely use. Asa vermi-
fuge the onion cannot be surpassed, and
eaten raw will often check violent
cold In the head. One small onion

Scranton is scandalized because some
young women connected with the Chris
tian Endeavorers raised money for the
society's Golfers by acting as trolley-car
conductors for a few hours. The
preachers are up in arms, and the en-
thusiastic and enterprising girls have
been terribly shocked by the current OF
public opinion which has been aroused
against them among the strait-laced
scrantonites, who feel that the partici-
pants in the scheme unsexed themselves
when they entered upon the project. We
do not imagine that their souls will be
irretrievably lost because they adopted
this novel method to procure money for
a good purpose. 1t is certainly no more
degrading than for a preacher to send
the young women Of his congregation
out on a house-to-house begging tour;
and, think of the fun and excitement
attached to this trolley-car schemei

olic and Catholic friends of Miss Mary
A. Liney, when she was married to
James r. Curran, director of the Ca
thedral choir. Vicar-General Lyons

The bride was attired in white fayette
silk and wore a veil of tulle. She car
ried white chrysanthemums. The
bridesmaid was Miss Anna Kilroy. She
was dressed in white oTgandie and car
ried pink chrysanthemums. Miss Helen
N. Stidham was a beautiful little flower
girl. She was dressed in white organ
die with white ribbons. John Keenan,
was best man. The ushers were Mark
Roach, Frank Kelley, Oscar Draper and
Joseph Rebman.
The Cathedral choir presented to Mr..
and Mrs. Curran handsome mahogany
cabinet. st. Patrick's choir, of which the
bride is a member, sent a couch. The
Shields Library Association sent a buff
fet. Mr.. and Mrs. Curran will reside at
No. 2OS West Twenty-third street.
