Samuel Douglas McEnery, junior
United States Senator from
Louisiana, Is deserving of every
consideration by the citizens of his
State for the fidelity with which he
has guarded their interests during
the framing of the tariff bill, So
recently passed by the Senate. A
new and inexperienced man in the
matter of national legislation, Sen
ator McEnery has Immediately
come to the front and taken FORE
rank among his colleagues of the
South by reason of his strong pro-
tective views and the patriotic
manner in which he has sacrificed
part,sanshiP for the good OF his
States and the people of the whole
country.-New Orleans Republican,

some days ago, the Baptist and
Methodist churches of the city
offered the homeless congregation
the free use of their chapels until it
could provide itself with another

one Episcopal clergyman called
personally on the priest to express
their sympathy with him and his

that ought to dominate in all chris

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected in the Papers of this
Great State.

The friends of the waterworks
movement can rest assured that the
intention of putting in system in
New Iberia is not dead, nor is it
very sound asleep. 1t will be taken
mp in it's proper time. This is one
of the benefits the people of Alex
andrla get from their waterworks:
The free water hydrant, estab-
1ished by the city authorities On De
Soto street, near Second, is being
well patronized. People come
from all directions outside of Alex
andria and haul the water home in
barrels. Surely the Alexandria
,artesian wells are of as much bene
fit to the people residing in the
country as those living in. town.
Town Talk.
We would almost wager, and let
the stakes be 'ssizeable," that there
cannot be found ten taxpayers in
in Alexandria who would be without
their waterworks and electric light
plants. New Iberia will have them
in the near future, but this is an
instance when it is economy not to
hasten too quickly.-1berian, Dem.
Within the next two weeks a tar
if law for the protection of every
thing American, will display the
Wilson-Gorman measure which
failed to do everything except to
pauperize the country. The Ding
ley bill passed the Senate Thursday
by a majority Of ten after some
considerable amendments, but the
changes made were not in the di
rection of altering either its revenue
producing or protection features.
1t now goes to a conference COM
mittee and while there may be some
minor differences to adjust between
the House and Senate, no trouble
is anticipated in both branches
reaching an agreement at a very
early date. Perhaps no State in
the Union has Jared so we'll as
Louisiana in the new bill-sugar,
rice and lumber, the three principal
industries of the State are amply
protected, and since the full
force of the law is felt we may
look for a healthy business con-
dition. Louisiana rejoices in
common, with all other States
in the complete redemption of
the pledges made by the Repub-
lican party. We have received
even more than we dared hope for
Everybody is satisfied except the
false prophets and little politicians
who paraded the State last fall and
assured the people that they had
nothing to expect from the RePub-
lican party.-Sugar Belt Vindicator,
Rep.
Paternal legisla ton for trusts,
corporations and millionaires has
always been characteristic of the
Republican party, and when the
party of the plutocrats suggests
antitrust legislation, for the pur-
pose of humbugging the people,
they make pitiable spectacles of
themselves. The trusts of America
own the Republican senators, ana
their side plays to make the people
believe otherwise are ridiculous.-
Iberville South, Dem.
Trusts and combines suppress all
legitimate competition in trade, and
by monopolizing the markets them
selves fix the prices of everything
under their control. They control
now almost every known industry
and product Of the country and are
particularly destroying the legiti-
mate commerce of the world. If
there is not some legislation by
Congress to- break their greed and
power the people will not submit to
their domination and robbery much

HAWAIIAN ANNEX
Discussed in the Republican Senatorial
Caucus as a Probability of the Near
Frrtu

Washington, June l2-The republican
senate We're in caucus for two hours
today and devoted the entire time to
effort to agree upon a course of action
to be pursued with regard to the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty in connection
with the sugar schedule of the tariff bill.
The meeting of the senate at u o'clock
forced an adjournment before there was
time to reach a conclusion. and the caucus
dispersed to meet again at 4:30 o'clock in
the afternoon.
Senator Nelson. of Minnesota. led the
fight in favor of the abrOgat tiOn of the Ha>
waiian treaty. He said that the United
States had paid $4,000. 600 only for the
Louisiana purchase, yet in tariff remis-
SiOnS on sugar alone there had been paid
$31 900 900 for Pearl harbor.
Senator Frye made a vigorous defense
of the treaty, and Of the policy Of main
Hawaii which had been settled and civil
lied by Americans.
Senator Davis also spoke in defense Of
the treaty. going into detailed argument
to show that the relations between this
country and the Hawaiian islands should
be maintained upon the present recipro>
cial basis
prOba bility of a new treaty for the an
neXatiOn of Hawaii. and it seemed to be
quite generally understood that such
treaty was included among the pOsSibii-
ties for the near future. There appeared.
however. to be no definite information
to the details and the references We're
very general IN character NO one as
Sumed to speak for the president on this
point, but SO far anything was said,
it was apparently based upon the suppo-
sition that the president was prepared to
enter into negotiations looking to placing
the islands under the protection of the
stars and stripes as part Of the United
States.
Senator Frye referred once twice to
the possibility of annexation and Senators
Thurston and Nelson, who strenuously
opposed the continuance OF the present
treaty, in effect announced themselves as
prepared to consider favorably the ques-
tion of annexation, on the theory that an
arrangement for consolidation on that
basis would be reciprocal; whereas, they
contend that the present treaty was en-
tirely one sided in its advantages. Sena-
tor Thurston contended that the best way
to insure annexation would be through
abrogation Of the existing. treaty.
At the afternoon caucus, after consider
ing the Hawaiian reciprocity provision IL
was decided to refer the matter, together
with various propositions which had been
submitted, to the republican members of
the committee on finance to formulate a
proposition which shall be submitted to a
future caucus, if not satisfactory to all.

A CARD OF THANKS
From Superintendent Mebane to the State
Press AssOciatiOn-TO Appoint Delegates
to the Farmers National Congress.

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., June 12.-The gov
ernor has been requested by the farm
ers' national congress, through it's Sec
retary, John NJ. Stohl, of Chicago and
it's Vice president, Hon. J. S. Cunning
ham, of North Carolina, to appoint
delegates from the state at large and
one from each congressional district to
represent this state for the next two
years at the annual meetings. The
next convention will be held at ST.
Paul, August 31st to September 9th in
elusive. Each delegate will be expect
ed to pay his own expenses, as there
is no state fund available for such pur-
poses.
The state superintendent of public
instruction issues the following card
of thanks:
ITO Members of the State Press AS
SOciatiOn:
"On behalf of SO per cent. of the
children who do not enter private
schools, ] wish to thank you for the
resolution passed by you in regard to
public schools. L is very gratifying to
know we have reached a period in our
history when the secular press, repre-
senting all political parties, and the re-
ligious press representing various de-
nominations, can unite in one grand ef-
fort to better the condition Of our pub
lie schools. This uniting of forces must
be felt and will be Of untold value to
the masses of our people. I trust the
day is not far distant when q man, no
matter whether he be politician, minis
ter, or business man, will be ashamed
to say he is opposed to public educa-
tion Such a day will not be far off if
the press, both secular and religious,
will join heartily to put into effect the
resolution of the Press Association at
MOrehead City"

A RECEIPT on to Mr.. Rayard.

New York, June 1.-THE National
Civic Club, of Brooklyn, composed of
members of the gold standard democ-
racy, rendered a reception to former
Ambassador Bayard, at their club
house tonight. EXPresident Cleveland
in his letter of regret said:
Il should be delighted if it were pos
slble 10 be with you and thus add one
more to those who will demonstrate to
Mr.. Bayard how fully his broad patri-
otlSm and high civic virtures are ap-
preciated by his fellow countrvmen.
Such examples he as furnished Of true
love OF our country cannot, in these
days of their scarcity, be too fully
recognized"
After the reading of this letter Mr..
Bayard VS. introduced and said in
part:
The ID words Of welcome fill me
with S:Autude and are an ample ne
ward for all 1 have done as the repre-
sentative or our country in Great Bri-
tain, in what 1 think must be conceded
to be a fair and honest effort to de-
serve them.
Il nave the right to congratulate all
or my countrymen and equally to con-
graduate all the people of Great Brf-
tain, her colonies and dependencies,
that not a question remains unsettled
today between the two nations for
which amicable solution is not rea-
Sonably attainable, and that our az
fairs are today in an atmosphere OF
friendly good will and unclouded un-
derstanding. / am glad to state my
belief that, although it has Zen un-
wisely and outwardly delayed and OBJ
Structed. yet the spirit of Christian
civilization, which inspired the treaty
or general arbitration between the two
great Englishspeaking nations which
stand in the vanguard Of the world's
progressive civilization, has proclaim
ed its existence and will soon find ex-
preston in the determined and united
advocacy Of the true friends of human
ity everywhere"
Mr.. Bayard concluded his address by
a reference to the political conditions
existing in the United States, pleading
for the gold standard and for the adop-
ton of a tariff for revenue only

terests OF other localities. He spoke
for nearly TWO hours
The vote upon senator Jones amend
ment was then taken and il was reject
ed-yeas, %: nays. 80.
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, then
took the floor in support of his amend
ment to strike out the differential on
refined sugar and place all sugars on
an equality. While he realized that IL
was hopeless TO try TO reduce the duty
on sugar, he said he was not without
hope that the senate would withdraw
this proposed protection TO the trust
which dominated the market and at
tempted TO control the politics of the
country. The trust did not need and
should not have assistance. This
schedule would, he said. tax the people
so 900, 900.
Senator Lindsay argued that the
trust had concealed advantages in ev-
cry schedule which its opponents could
not point out. Every doubt. he de-
clared, should be resolved against the
trust He read the testimony of Pres
ident Havemeyer, in which he stated
that tine trust controlled the price of
sugar. That is the kind of candor,"
said he when he concluded the reading
which commands a certain kind of
admiration, outrageous as may be the
If wem can business" interposed
Senator Allison, of Nebraska, "and we
desire to destroy this sugar trust, why
don't we go into court and by quo war
ranto, or other corporation process dis
solve the trust2''
Il hope" replied Senator Lindsay,
before this bill is passed to see an
amendment engrafted upon it which
will enable the courts to protect the
people from the advice of this c0rpor-
alton. But because the courts have
failed TO do their duty, it is not for the
legislative department to give an ad-
ditionai subsidy to the trust
Senator Morgan gave notice of an
amendment he should offer designe
to prevent future sales of stocks and
bonds.
At 4:30 o'clock p. m. without voting
on the Lindsay amendment, the senate
adjourned.

Another Filibuster Expedition.

Washington, June R.-The treasury de-
partment has received by reference from
the secretary Of state, a communication
from the Spanish minister to the effect
that he has information that an important
filibustering expedition is being organized
on the coast of Florida, and asks that
steps be taken by the government to
Illustrate it. The department communi-
Gated this information to all collectors
and masters of the patrol fleet on the
Florida cast with instructions to be on
the alert . prevent the departure of any
suspecteU cxpedition. This was done to-
day by graph.
1t devC.cped later that the department
has speci @ information of the shipment
of arms I'D munitions for what promises
to be one of the most important hlibus-
tering expeditions for several months. A
carload of arms left Jacksonville yester-
day morning by the Florida East Coast
railroad, and passed near Smyrna last
evening southbound. A second carload of
rifles and dynamite left Jacksonville yes
terday morning on the regular freight
train for the probable purpose of being
transferred to some vessel on the east
coast, probably the yacht Nalusia, which
has been engaged to transfer these muni-
tions from the railways to the vessel des-
tined for Cuba 1t is probable that vessel
which will receive these arms Will not
come close to shore.

Francis Janssens died on the steamer
Creole on Thursday. The archbishop
sailed hence on Wednesday for New
York. From the latter port he was to
take a ship for Europe, and was on his
way to visit his family in Holland.
For some time it has been apparent
that he was breaking down and that
the germs Of an insidious disease were
in his system.
Monsignor Janssens was one Of the
dignitaries of the Catholic church in

became bishop in Minnesota and on
