not long since. The group of plantations
acquired by the KeniIworth Estate Co. Of
England, of which Mr.. Hogg iS the Chair
man, is in the parishes Of St. Bernard and Pla-
quemines. The factory is being buill ard good
progress is being made in the erection. The
Sugar Planters Journal says it is destined
to be tho largest of the kind in Louisi.
ana and, quoting from a correspondent
to the PicGg"ne, gives the following peril
culars =
The sugar mill of the Kenilworth sugar
estate, now under course of construction, will
be one of the mOSt modern and best
equipped structures of its kind in this State.
The material used is brick aud iron, and the
workmanship is of " high order. The com
pany, in mapping out the plans for the build.
ing, has been exceedingly painstaking md
careful to make heir house a perfection in
architecture and % include the latest designs
and processes for tie manufacture of sugar.

The National Assembly was inaugurated
at Malo!os yesterday morning amid intense
enthusiasm. Thousands of visitors we're pre-

was held.
The Assembly met in a portion Of an old
building, which was formerly a convent and

extremely. PLAIN, its only decorations being
a few religious pictures.
President AquinalIo, who entered at nine

vrning The Notwithstanding whom were
sevelal Spaniards-prOceeded to submit a
message eulog6sing the army and thanking
friendly nations, which Ind set all historical
example in the cause Of liberty and assisted
a down-trodden race. He.nrgently, and with
great elOquence, exIorted the Assembly to
follow tho noblest principles, and invoke1
the spirits of the martyred Filipinos who
had fallen in the fight for freedom.
The Assembly was then adjourned until
to-day.
A Spanish delegate suggested that the
sitting should be resumed in the afternoon,
but q Filipino objected, and accused tho
Spaniards of attempting to undermine the
Constitution.
The Sp"niard replied that he was q sincere
Republicar, and that his only desire was the
welfare of the country.
The Filipino tkereupon apolOgisedy and
the proceedings terminated.

The ladies Of Lincoln:hsve been doing
q great deal for society this week.
Parties both large and small have con-
sumed the afternoons and two large card
parties have been given in the evenings.
Two brilliant receptions, q number OF
pleasant Kensingtons and several card
parties. euchre being the favorite game
for the latter gathering, AMI two unique
guessing parties we're feature Of the
weeks festivities.
Sorosis banqueted for the ninth time
ut the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j..
Sawyer on last Friday night. These
once year banquets are feature Of
Sorosis which unlike'most limited clubs
does not eat between meals. One Of the
first celebrations, il not the first one.
was made very memorable by Mrs.
Bryan. The occasion was farewell to
Miss Sarah Wool Moore. one OF the
members Of the club. When Mrs.
BryaL's turn came after the cafe
noir she solemnly arose while
an accompanist sat down before q
doleful melodion and played few bars
Of our national hymn. Then Mre. Bryan
said she had written farewell ode to
Miss Moore and would read it two lines
at time and asked the company to join
in singing it. So far as laughter
allowed the company complied with her
request. All the speeches which sue
ceeded were affect,onately funny and
frothy and the impression that remains
after many years has never been dis
placed by another equally successful.
Yet the ninth annual banquet was
crowned With witty speeches and spon-
taneous laughter and good feeling. The
program COMMITTEES, Mrs. Summers and
Mrs. Tibbitts, had surreptitiously
collected the ancient photographs OF the
members OF Sorosis and encircled by
wreaths of amsranth they hung upon

There is about as much truth
in their promise of what they
will do If elected, as there was
in the statement of the soldier
telling why he should have a
furlough. He told his Colonel
he had just received a letter from
his wife, and she was very sick,
that the children were poorly,
and there was no one to help her
look after them, and unless he
could come home for a short
time they must suffer. The Col

from his wife in which she said
That she hoped he would never

when he was home, he was dis

INDEPENDENT PARTY PLATFORM.

We believe In the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of IL to l. We pledge ourselves to an
economical county government, and believe the
best men should be elected to fill county offices
regardless of politics, and the people should be
given the privilege of selecting those officers at
tho polls, and believe all parts OF the county
should be represented as nearly as possible.
We do not believe that one precinct should con-
troll the county; nor control the majority CT the
best and most responsible Offices but should be
distributed throughout the county. We do not
believe In fusion for office only. We denounce
the ring rule" of the old parties In Custer
county. We insist that the county officers, es-
pecially the County Commissioners, give their
special attention to the collection of all school
monies, and apply the same as the law directs,
and spare means to collect all money due
the county. We denounce the present hand
ling Of the road system in Custer county, and
believe the roads should be kept In better con-
dition than they have been in the past two
years. We call special attention of the new
Commissioners to the condition Of the county
roads, and ask that they carefully consider the
repair and construction of county roads
We pledge our candidates in county govern
ment to the strictest economy consistent witt
the competent administration of public
affairs in the county, but we insist that this
economy shall be secured by uniform and equit
able adjustment, and not as has been done
through the reduction OF the wages OF the daJ
laborer.

AS for the silver question. If
we have limited coinage the gov
eminent is pledged to maintain
the equality of gold and silver
coins. With free and unlimited
coinage there is nothing tc main

the metals.
