THE COTTON FRAUD.

THE COTTON FRAUD.
Daily States.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Vest
compared the Democrats in that
disgraced body to convention of
monkeys whose deliberations were
scamble when a few nuts were
thrown into the cage. The Senate
today is, indeed, a sad spectacle
for Democrats to witness. The Re-
publicans stand solidly like a band
of welltrained highwaymen, while
the Democrats resemble lot of sneak
thieves, each hunting alone in the
by-ways and slums to pick up some
swag. About the biggest fraud
that has been or can be Perpetrated
IN tariff legislation was the duty
yesterday levied upon imported
cotton. That amendment was Of
fered by Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
and instantly snapped up by the
Republicans, who wanted to put
the Democrats in a hole, and by
Southern Democratic protectionists
God save the mark!) who wanted
to propitiate the cotton planters,
whom they have outraged and be-
trayed by voting with the Republi-
cans. Millions of pounds of our
cotton are exported and the price
fixed necessarily in the market of
import. The contention that Egyp-
tan cotton is a rival in our ports of
American cotton is nonsense of the
baldest kind, and was only intended
to bamboozle the cotton planters
and make care of their interests,
and no doubt there are some of
them silly enough to be captured
by the fraud. AS a matter of fact,
the only effect of a duty on cotton
is to give the manufacturers an ex-
cuse, a fraudulent excuse it is true,
but still an excuse, to raise the
price of cotton goods on the Ameri-
can consumers. Thus, the scheme
is double villainy-a villainy in
deluding the American producers
" ~OSeOAA oAA a AOOONAy "a IhS
American consumers of cotton
goods.
The cotton planters are body
of intelligent American citizens.
They do not want government aid;
they are willing to rely upon their
own intelligence, energy and enter
prise. But they do not desire to
be robbed of their earnings to fat
ten dealers in hides and sugar and
wool and coal and iron. Give
them freedom of trade, untaxed
commodities and banking facilities
that will enable them to operate on
six or eight per cent, and they will
be content and keep out of the ring
of tariff robbers.
A Eire-bug Caught.
| Over year ago a negro named
E]oi Daniels was charged with the
crime of arson, but he succeeded to
escape from the parish before he
could be arrested by the officer in
whose hands the warrant had been
placed. Daniels managed to keep
out of the laws way up to a few
days ago, when Sheriff Broussard
discovered his Whereabouts and ar
rested him. The sheriff believes
that it can be shown that Daniels is
the fellow who burned a house for
Mr.. B. p. Landry near Royville
and barn belonging to Mr.. P. B.
Roy. Daniels is said to be a dam
gerous character and his capture
will be learned with satisfaction by
the people Of that section where be
pursued his nefs rious occupation.

Misses Estell and Agnes Gull
beau are attending the Summer
Normal at Lafayette.
The Grand Coteau band was in
town during the week serenading
Carencro friends. The courtesy
and the good music were much ap-
preciated.
Miss Pellerin, of Breaux Bridge,
is visiting Miss Rita Jeanmard.
Aristide Francez, Zackery Fran

pupils of the State Normal School,
have returned for their vacation.
An enjoyable surprise party was
given on Saturday night, at the
residence of Mrs. Galbert Guilbeau
by the young people of the town,
who were so pleased by their success
that there is talk of a speedy repe-
tition of the same pleasure.
Dr.. E. J. Perrault is visiting in
New Orleans.
Miss Mercedes Broussard, of La
fayette, passed the day with Miss
Sarah Brown on Monday.
A number of Carencro people
took advantage of the convenient
schedule on the branch to visit La
fayette on Sunday to meet the ex-

The weather was beautiful, Lafa-

full for guests, and most pleasur-
able day was spent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aristide Dugal, of
Balwin, were visitors to Mrs. Dimi-

Improvements are going on stead

his residence entirely renovated, and
the front completely changed. Mr..
Edmond Villere is experimenting
the work in the carpenter line,

Mr.. L. A. Veazey has started on
the new store of Sibille Brothers.
This will be building measuring

front will be taken up with large
show windows, and receding glass
entrance; the building will be sub
stantial and erected on strictly
modern lines. The front of the
second story will be of ornamental
iron. This floor will be properly
equipped for theatricals and public
amusement. The rear portion will
be divided into two rooms-one will
be used as an ante-room, while the
other will be occupied by the Alta

MICROBES IN BOOKS.
Sanitary Measures Adopted in Europei
Libraries

Sanitary M Measures Adopted in European
Libraries.
1t is fact that has been well demon
strated that contagious diseases may be
spread by means of books which may have
been in the hands of the sick or conva-
lescing. All the eruptive maladies, scar
ietina and varioloid among others, as well
as diphtheria, may be transmitted in this
manner.
Throughout Europe, and especially in
England, strenuous efforts are being made
to stop this source of contagion. At Edin-
burgh already regular service has been
organized by which the directors of libra
ries are notified each day of the names and
addresses of all those in the city who are
III of contagious diseases. The librarians
thereupon make careful search to find if
any OF their books have been lent in any
OF the houses specified. When such is
found to be the case the health depart
ment seizes the books, which are then
either dlsinfected or destroyed according
to the nature of the illness. When book,
Tor example, has been in the hands of one
i'll OF varioloid it is imm ediately destroyed.
At Bradford, England, similar measures
are also in vogue ana an effort is now be-
ing made to put them into effect in Lon
don. This, however, owing to the vast
and dense population OF that city, will be
difficult of mplishment.
In Paris this plan will also be followed
in the near future. At present the au-
thorities OF that city are endeavoring to
find satisfactory disinfectant Expert
ments are being made with the vapor of
formic aldehyde, which is produced by the
incomplete combustion of methylic alco-
hol in contact with the air and incandes-
cent pl platinum. This vapor, in addition
to its antiseptic properties, is easily en-
ployed and is absolutely harmless to cloth
and paper, and it's discovery will doubt
less hasten the adoption o: similar hygi-
enic measures in the public libraries of
