RHINE WINE CROP.
Only From One-Thi to One Half An Az
erage Output This Year.

Washington, December 1S.-The Ger
man Rhine wine crop for this year is
all in and will be only one-third to
one-half an average crop. The quality,
however, is better than was expected
in September, when it was feared that
the inclement weather had utterly
ruined the grapes. The State Depart
ment has received long report on the
subject from Consul Schumann, at
Mainz, in which he states the condi-
tions in each province and district On
the whole he says the vintage of 1897
promises to produce quite a palatable
and salable middle wine" Rational
treatment will not, however, be neces-
sary. Besides a moderate amount Of
sugar, fermenting of grape juice will
above all things be necessary on ac-
count of the quantity of half decayed
grapes among the crop.

Enforce the Law, Gentlemen +!

The disgraceful orgies last Satur-
day right at the Evangeline is a
public scandal. 1t is a reproach to
the officers of the law from the high.
est to the lowest, that such a state
of affairs should so long he suffered
to exist in a community, where NOR
atty has ever held a proud head and
evil slipped around by stealth and in
secrecy. Piety is . thing, decency
is another. 1t is not given to every
man to be truly pious, we never pre-
tended to be, but it is possible and
demanded for the most ordinary of
mankind to be decent.
Opelousas has long enjoyed the
reputation of being a small Gomor-
rah, but her city fathers have at last
awakened to a sense Of their duty
and responsibility, as the following
shows -
The movement inaugurated a
little over a week ago by our women
with the view Of purifying the moral
atmosphere of Opelousas has made
marvellous headway-in fact il
spread with the rapidity Of a prairie
fire, until to-day the membership
will reach close on to two hundred
determined women. Meetings are
held every few days, and the attend
ance is seldom below the hundred
mark. At a meeting at Mrs. Hayes
Tuesday a committee of twelve la
dies was appointed TO call upon The
city council, which was in session a
the time, and urge npon that boiy
the necessity of restricting brothels
and their inmates. The counci
needed the memorial and passed al
ordinance (l) prohibiting broihel'
within the corporation, (2) prohibit,
ing the inmates of brothels from fire
quenting saloons in the town, ant
prescribing a penalty for the saloor
keeper who admits them, 81 prohib
ting buses or other vehicles from
conveying passengers to and from
brothels or houses Of ~disrepute iol
immoral purposes, and prescribing {
penalty for the livery stable keeper
who is guilty of such an offeDse.-
