The City Liquor License
Lake Charles Commercial.

The city solons met in regular
session last Tuesday night. Among
other business before the board
was an ordinance offered by AL
derman Chavanne fixing the liquor
license in this city at $1,000 for
wholesale and $4,000 for retail
dealers-being same amounts as
levied by the police jury on pa
rish dealers. The ordinance was
referred to the finance committee,
which means a postponement of
two weeks. If this ordinance is
adopted it simply means the clos
ing of all the saloons in town. The
parish license will shut up the
saloons outside Of Incorporated
towns to a certainty. Thus plac-
ing Calcasieu on the dry list at
the pleasure of a few men, who
have the law in their hands and
administer it as they see fit; whe-
ther in accordance with the views
of majority of their constituents
or not.
The COMMERCIAL favors q high
er license than is required to-day
to retail liquors, and are centainly
opposed to prohibition on general
principals. Go to so-called pro-
hibition town or State and you
can get all the liquor you can af.
ford to pay for, and it is in these
places that drug stores restaurants
and hotels takes the place Of sa'
looms. Is it not in prohibition

OSIER WILLOWS.
Southerp Farmer.

In another column Will Oe IOunu
a letter from our valued correspon-
dent, Mr.. j. Cabot, in which he
refers to a recently published arti-
Gle in the Telegraph of Philadel-
phia, concerning the efforts of the
Department of Agriculture to pro-
mote the growing of osier willows,
stating his conviction that such
culture could be made successful
and profitable in southern Louisi-
ana.
During generation past many
efforts have been made to intro
duce osier willow culture in this
state. There seems to be no res-
son why such culture should not
be made profitable and it certain
" can be made successful as has
been proven in many cases. The
chief difficulty is to introduce any
new culture into any country that
is we'll settled in other cultures.
All agricultural communities are
naturally very conservative and
10th to take up new ideas until
they find their old business unpro-
fitable. Cotton, cane and rice
have been the favored crops along
the Gulf coast, and We presume
that these other crops will come
| in time. Even now, fruit raising,
stock raising, grass culture and
corn culture are all having far
greater attention paid to them
than in the past and we think that
the osier willow culture, or the
production of osier willows for the
manufacture of baskets, ETC.. which
can unquestionably be done in this
territory, will in time become q
permanent industry. The article
quoted from the Philadelphia Tel.
egraph is as follows:
Osier or willow culture on 9
large scale is subject of which
comparatively little is known In
this country, yet it would seem te
be as profitable as many othel
lines of agriculture which are ex
tensiveiy carried on. The willow
ware industry has been slowly in
creasing in our Eastern States ol
late years, but is yet in its infan
lev. Much of the immense unuti
lized areas of land along our many
rivers. portions of the sea-coast
and of some uplands and prairie'
not suitable for other agriculture
pursuits, it is stated by those WHIT
have Investigated the subject, in
vite capital and energy to inves
in osier growing for the manufac'
ture of basket ware. With tht
idea of directing attention to thi
subject and of helping those wh'
may be interested in this industry
, the Division of Forestry is prepar
; ing a pamphlet on osier culture
treating fully of this crop.
According to the census of 1881
; the animal production of manu-
factured willow-wsre amounted t.
S3,633, 800, and the increase of th
; material consumed was over sixt'
per cent as compared with 1886
The question as to the kind of will
low to plant, says Mr.. Simpson
the writer of the pamphlet, is q,
extremely weighty one, as an oslo
plantation set with all unsuitable
kind of willow is q failure fron
beginning to end. Out of 20
pieces of willows and their hume
rous varieties and hybrids, only
small number have been found o
value, especially for basket max

HELP FOR DEWEY.
Coast Defender Monterey and Big
Military Force Going.

The monitor Monterey. which, il Il
said, is the most powerful fighting ship
In the world, has been ordered to sail
from the Pacific coast to the Philip
pines. IL will be added to Rear Admi-
raj Dewey's squadron and will be a
tower of strength in bombardment, at
tacking hostile fleet or repelling an
attack by Spain ships.
The Monterey is coast defense ves-
sci, mounting number of very heavy
guns. She is not intended for ocean
travel and win require two months to
make the voyage to Manila. Her coal
capacity is small She will recoal at
Hawaii and will be accompanied from
there by Golfers from which she will
coal at sea. Her despatch is thought
to mean that we will hold the Philip
pines until ready to dispose of them to
advantage. The Pacific coast is left
defenceless, but no fear is expressed,
since Spain's fleet is destroyed.
Dewey still lies in Manila harbor
holding the city under close blockade.
The cruiser Charleston is on her way
to carry him ammunition and stores.
The military expedition is being made
ready as fast as possible and part of
il will leave this week. Gen. Merritt
is on his way to San Francisco to take
command. He win have $4,000 or
5000 troops as soon as they can be
fitted out.

furnish more than her share.

| The past week has been exasperat
ingly uneventful. The Spanish Cap,
Verde squadron, which was left last
week somewhere in the Caribbean sea
got into the harbor OF Santiago de Cubs
Friday. Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, which
suddenly abandoned the bombardmeni
of San Juan de Porto Rico and started
after the Spanish squadron, failed to
round il up. Likewise the flying squad.
ron under Commodore Schley failed to
get around to the southern coast OF
Cuba in season to intercept it. The
first definite knowledge of the Span
iards' whereabouts came from Madrid.
Both of our fleets which were in the
vicinity of Key West started at once.
Schley's squadron, including the Brook
lyn, Columbia, Minneapolis, Massa-
chusetts and the Texas, reached Santi-
ago Tuesday and found Admiral Ger
vera inside. A blockade was begun at
once. The situation is peculiar.
The harbor of Santiago is probably
one of the best protected in the world.
The entrance is between two high
bluffs, so close that they are within a
stones throw OF each other. with the
eastern hill crowned by an antiquated
stone structure known as MORO castle.
For nearly mile the channel is very
narrow, and from Moro castle to Fort
Catilina, a distance Of about one quar-
ter of a mile, it is hardly more than 300
feet wide.
At one point, where shoal makes
ont. the incoming and outgoing steam-
ers, are compelled to hug a buoy very
closely, so that only one ship can pass
at atime. - - eva ~
The channel then swings for a mile
to the northwest around Gorda point,
after which it turns again at short
angle, so that vessels are compelled to
travel through another long aud mar
row channel before reaching the large
basin of water which forms the harbor
proper, and ut the end of which the
city of Santiago is situated.
il is nearly five miles from the ocean
these tortuous and narrow
TO the city.
These channels are probably mined.
1t would be reckless to run the risk of
trying to force a passage into the har-
Dor to fight the Spanish fleet. IL may
be attempted, but the more natural
plan is to wait on the outside for the
Spaniards to come out. As long as
they stay inside the efficacy of their
fleet is destroyed The movement of
our troops to Cuba can begin at once.
Schley's fleet can handle the Spaniards
if they come out. The only danger is
that a reinforcement may come unex-
pectedly from Spain, but this is not
deemed probable.
Schley will first destroy the forts at
the entrance of the harbor, which will
not be difficult. He may then proceed
inside. He will be on the outlook TO
the approach of Spanish torpc-
10 boats from inside. He may even
send his own within. Things are like |
Iy to be interesting around Santiago |
for awhile.
Meanwhile the blockade of other
ports is being conducted by sampson
and the conditions in Cuba are said to
be terrible. Coal is especially scarce.
Transports for the advance to Cuba
are ready and it will be made just as
soon as possible.
