Against Southern Industry.

! Tuesday night. in Greenville. there
vas held meeting of mill men that
vas pregn.us with interest for south
ern industry. Il vas meeting at
which committees were appointed to
90 TO Washington and oppose the bill
that is nov being arged to bolster uo
.he cotton manufacturing io New
Eoeland. The bill alluded to is the
ou.growth of deliberations of the
Arkuright club, an organization Of
New Eogland manufacturers. aud it
seeks to regulate labor 10 the south
This proposed regulation is so ar
ranged that New Eogland can again
hope to compete with the south in the
man ufactare of cotton The Law is
not sought with any idea of helping
labor at all It is purely selfish move
aud Intended for no other purpose
than to cripple sousbero mills 10 the
interest Of these Of New Eoglaud.
Southern labor has asked no cooees-
sious or laws Il has been, and Is.
thoroughly satisfied with the conditions
,ha. surround it. There have been 10
strikes or mnrmaring OF strikes.
Everything is peaceable. the mills are
prosperous aud the operatives live in q
manner more inducive to health and
happiness than half the minor stock
holders in the New EogIand iostisu-
tions.
New Eogland has always been
favored section For long years its
industries have been fostered by a
pro.ee.ive tariff that amounted 30 rob

south, BY force of des.itution, caused
by 8 devastating var and lack of cap

declaration Of peace she strove vigor-
ously to ubthrottle herself but With

Poblem for the Twentieth
Century.

A Washington schoolgirl recent
II read an essay in the Gunston In-
st,tute, of this city, before her class,
which ranks as q gem of thought
We commend it to every reader of
the Intelligencer
Suppose that all men coveted air,
and that it were possible to possess
themselves oft and store it away in
huge receivers Suppose that this could
be done to such an extent that IN
time the strong were able to possess
themselves of all the air and dole it
ont to the weak only on their own
terms Suppose. finally that the
monoplists should make "corner"
in air and hold it on such terms that
the people were perishiDg by thou
sands for the want Of it What then
would be the remedy ? Should the
government step in and compel these
persons to supply the world with air
for the people to breathe I? Suppose
the same condition existed In the
case of water, wood, coal, land, food.
Suppose, in the case of money, a
small minority of the worlds peo-
Pile. by thrift. cunning, by fraud by
combines, lawful or unlawful should
control the money supply of the
world aud bring sta, vation to millions.
Should the government refrain from
measures OF relief for fear of depre-
ciating the monopolist's dollar In
any event be would have enough and
to spare. ls it a good thing for men
to hoard and continue to heap up
riches more than they need. while

TIE STREE rs TO BE
Worked,

Mayor Caffery has informed us
that arrangements have been made
to work the streets. No doubt
the people will be pleased to learn
that the present deplorable condi-
ton of the town is only temporary.
The Gazette has always felt conf
dent that the town administration
would do it's best to have the
streets worked before the winter
season and that the mud holes and
tall weeds would be attended to in
due time. Before any work is done
on the streets the Council should
see that the stock law is rigidly en-
forced. AS we said before the
stock on our streets are public
nuisance. They not only commit
all sorts of depredations on private
property but they ruin the streets
and sidewalks. Let the Council
start the good work by instructing
the police to enforce the stock or
dinance.

LAFAYETTE, La, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER

may be questioned, and while it is
perfectly natural for the officers to
try to hold on to their jobs, the ac-
ton of the officers in denying the
men an opportunity to make their
wishes known and of employing
autocratic methods to enforce their
orders, can not be too strongly con-
demned by all fair-minded people.
Petty officers, often appointed
solely for political reasons, should
be taught not to abuse a little
temporary authority with which
they might accidently be vested.
Congressman Broussard bas done
what no other Louisiana official has
deigned TO do. He has used his
influence at Washington in behalf
of the private soldier who wanted
to get out of the service to return
to his family and to his business.
He was not bluffed by the wrath of
the officers who have made such
desperate efforts to retain their very
soft snaps in Uucle Sans employ.
Mr.. Broussard deserves we'll for the
plucky stand that he has taken for
the men, though he might have in

The Yellow Fever.

The report that there were cases
of yellow fever in New Orleans was
unfouuced. After investigation ex-
perts declared that there was no
yellow fever in the city. Some
places are still maintaining sense
less quarantine, not only against
New Orleans, but against the earth.
The fever at Franklin continues
to spread, but SO far it has been
kept within the limits Of the town.
The people of this State have no,
yet betrayed any symptoms Of the
scare which prevailed last year and
even should the fever spread to
other towns it is not believed that
the quarantine methods of last year
will be resorted to again.

For \ Wagon Market.

The question of making Lafa-
yette wagon market for cotton is
being agitated by many of our
business men. The other day
gentleman largely identified with
the business of this town, gave OK
preston to the following views
which struck us as being particu-
larly forcible. He said:
"Every citizen Of Lafayette, re-
gardless of what his business or
profession may be, is directly in
terested in ASST sting to build up this
town as wagon cotton market.
''Almost without solitary ex-
ception, in every town along the
line of the Southern Pacific Rail
road between New Iberia AMI
Alexandria, farmers haul and Sell
their cotton directly to buyers.
"There can be no augment that
our merchants will sell no wagons,
no drugs, no groceries. no dry
goods, no anything, to the farmer
who finds his market at Scott,
Broussardviile, Breaux Bridge, Car
encro, or any other town than La
fayette, and it is duty which
every citizen Of Lafayette owes to
himself to strive to put this town on
the same footing as, for instance,
Opelousas, which handles from
$1,000 to 1900 bales of wagon
cotton annually. Although as
much cotton is raised within 30
miles of US as within the same area
of Opelousas, yet Lafayette has
never had a bale Of cotton sold on
her streets, up to this season, sim
ply because we were not awake to
our opportunities.
"Competition makes trade and as
soon as it is known that Lafayette is
a wagon cotton market buyers will
compete so keenly for the staple
that prices obtained will attract
farmers here for miles and miles
around"

Death of Il Good Man

A special from st. Martinville to
the Times Democrat of Sept. g.,
says: *.Mr. E. A. Duchamp, presi-
dent of the Police Jury and a mem
Der of that body for thirty-two
years, died yesterday and was bur-
led this morning. Mr.. Duchamp
was mayor of the town of St. Mar
tinville for five years. His loss will
be felt by the parish of St. Martin.
He occupied political positions for
nearly forty years, and yet never
went into active politics. He was
never known to take part IN any
canvass or political combination.
There have been no public improve
ments in the town of St. Martinville
or the parish of St. Martin in which
he was not one of the promoters.
*He was a trustee of the Cath O.
lie church for thirty years. He was
born in New Jersey in 1896"

nv Behalf or THE PRZ
III TEC

Congressman Broussard took up
the cudgel for the privates and
succeeded in obtaining an order
from the war department to mus
ter out the First Louisiana Regi-
ment now at Jacksonville. Owing
to the tyrannical action of Col.
Stevens the privates we're denied
an opportunity to even express a
desire to be mustered out This
officer claimed that it was contrary
to discipline and unsoldier-like for
the men to petition the department
to be allowed to return home, but
he subsequently declared that 60
per cent of the regiment we're anx-
ious to do garrison duty in cuba.
The City Item very pertinently asks
how the esteemed colonel obtained
this Information if he did not can
vass the regiment to ascertain what
was the sentiment among the men.
In the opinion of this military au-
thority what was so unsoldierlike
in the privates was eminently prop
er for the officers to do.

ment in consulting the regiments

DO YOUR DUTY GENZZZ
MEN,

Last Monday was the regular
meeting day of the City Council,
but before quorum could be got
ten together it was SO late in the
day that very little business could
be transacted. The meeting con-
tinued until Wednesday,, but on
that day it was impossible to get a
quorum, and no meeting was held.
1t strikes us that those members
Of the Council who can not, or do
not want, to attend to their duties
should resign. When they &C
cepted the office, which they now
hold, they assumed certain obliga-
tons which they have taken an oath
to fill to the best Of their ability.
If their personal affairs are such
that they can not give any of their
time to the public business they
should resign and let those who are
willing to serve be appointed.
The affairs of the town need the
attention of a wide-awake and
business like Council. Without
this we are bound to retrograde.
Do your duty gentlemen, or quit.
