THE COMPRESS.

Messrs. Lehman, Stern & Co., OF
New Orleans, a firm we'll and favor
ably known in this community for
years, propose to build f,st-class
compress and warehouse in Lata-
yette, the cost Of which is estimated
at $4,000. They have practically
secured very desirable site, and
after obtaining the support of the
community, of which there appears
to be no doubt, they will proceed
at once to begin building, thus put
ting into circulation about $4,000
during the dull summer months.
This plant will give employment
to at least fifty men, not to mem.
ton the necessary buying force, all
of whom are men Of families and
are class who earn large sal
aries. In addition to this it must
not be overlooked that the erection
of compress in Lafayette means
the creation of an all year-round
The Lafayette gazette., 1898-04-02

market, where planters can at any
and all times dispose of their cot
ton for cash, thus saving to them
selves the commission and freight
charges which they would other
wise have to pay.
The erection of COMPRESS
means great deal to this town.
1t means the expenditure of $780,
900 in construction; a better price
for cotton; 10000 bales of cotton
brought here yearly; an increase
in the towns revenues as it will
Patronize the waterworks and elec-
trio light plant; the building of
several residences; trade tor our
merchants; in short, it means a vast
amount of good to the whole COM
We hope our people will not let
this splendid opportunity slip away
from them, but that they will extend
to Messrs. Lehman, Stern & Co.
all the aid which it is in their power
to give.
The Lafayette gazette., 1898-04-02

"aterWOrkS And Electric Lights.
Yesterday was the last of the
thirty days specified by the con-
tract for a thorough test of the
waterworks and electric light plant.
The Council will NEE. this morn
ing for the purpose of deciding
whether or not the work has been
done according TO contract and
whether or not the plant is com
pleted. Engineer Zell and Mr..
Pasquier will be at the meeting of
the Council.
The Gazette is informed that
several minor defects in the work
need to be recti6ed before the
Council will close with the con-
tractors. The boilers, it appears,
are not giving satisfaction. The
complaint is that they require the
burning of too much coal.
The expense for the coal alone
amounts to something like S25o. 90
a month, and the Council will try
to curtail this item as much as pos
sible. In Alexandria and Lake
Charles fuel is bought from the
saw-mills for little or nothing, but
here coal must be used exclusively.
Wood would be still more expen-
sive.
1t will require the best kind of
management to make the plant
Even with al
very economical administration 1t is !
doubtful if it's revenues for some
time at least will be sufficiently large
to pay running expenses. The
sort of economy will have |
to be practised by the Council.
Much OF the success of the plant
will depend upon the number of
patrons the waterworks will have.
AS the quality of the water is ex-
cellent it is believed that many of
our citizens will subscribe for hy-
irants.
The Lafayette gazette., 1898-04-02
THE SUNDAY LAM.

1t Is to be hoped that the effort
to have the constitutional conven-
ton prohibit the Legislature from
passing a general Sunday law will
be successful. AS in the matter of
prohibition the Sunday law ought
to be left to the people of each
parish. 1t is undeniable that in
this section Of Louisiana the law is
very unpopular and its enforce
ment has been a failure. We do
not think that it is possible to en-
force it. Whether violations of
the law can or cannot be punished
the fact remains that all efforts in
that direction have signally failed
Its open violation in this and other
parishes has, we believe, been in
furious to the enforcement of other
laws. The same condition that
Mr.. Farrar says exists in New Or
leans prevails in many country par
ishes, where large majority of the
people are opposed to it, and where
jurles have Repeatedly refused to
offenders of the law.
To those communities where the
people are in favor of the Sunday
law local option should be accept
able. Local option, it appears to
Us, should prove satisfactory to
both the advocates and the op-
oonents Of the Sunday law. 1t will
cave the question to the people of
Zach parish.

VERY SERIOUS
Is the Situation, Though War Nav
Yet be Avoided.
President Explains His Position
And Hopes to Preserve Peace,

| lhe war situation is approaching
a crisis. If there will be peace we
will soon know it, and if we are
going to have war it will be known
before many hours.
The following statement made bv
President Mckinley to members of
Congress shows what the admins
tration is doing SO effect a settle
ment.
"The administration is simply
awaiting definite response f1om
Madrid. Negotiations are in pro-
gress and all will depend on the
effect of these. The administration
desires TO avoid anything tending
to Precipitancy and undue haste in
acting in a matter so fraught with
the gravest consequences. 1t is
struggling for peace so far as na-
tional honor and dignity will per-
NIT. 1t is hoped that the issue will
come to definite and early adjust
ment. If it can be settled peace
ably it will be gratifying and if a
conclusion cannot be
reached within a day the admins
tration will still hope for it to be
before the week closes.
Meanwhile he advised them that in
his opinion there should be no rabid
and excited talk; cool Judgment
should dictate action in a matter
which involves national honor and
which will either bring The country
out Of the crisis peaceably with
credit or plunge it into war. The
President further expressed gratifi-
cation that the sentiment of Con-
'ress favored giving little longer
ime for the administration 20 act
md he cited the necessity for await
ng the final effect of the dispatches

ween the two governments"

UNJUST CRITICISM.

! UN/UST CR/ZIC/SM.
There is not a member of tn.
State press of whom we entertain {
higher opinion than Mr.. w. G.
Chevis, the brilliant editor of the
Baton Rouge Advocate. No one
has ever impressed us more; with
the sincerity of his views on men
and measures. He is outspoken
and clear in his utterances and al
ways calls thing by its right name.
Being broadminded he is rarely
unfair in his criticisms, but in his
perpetual opposition to Mr.. Bryan,
we fear that our esteemed friend is
disposed to be unjustly severe. Be-
cause Mr.. Bryan has seen fit to do
nate $3.50 to the Louisiana State
University the Advocate says that
this ''limited generosity smacks
strongly of the methods of the
petty politician" and adds that it
'can not regard the benefaction of
Mr.. BRYAN as being in any essential
different" from the proffered contri-
button of S25oo to the University
made by the Louisiana lottery in
1890.
10 us there is vast difference.
The Louisiana lottery was engaged
in the nefarious business of robbine
the people and by the most corrupt
means Imaginable it endeavored to
indefinitely perpetuate it's gigantic
scheme of robbery. Its offer of
$4,000 to the University was in
tended as bribe pure and simple,
and tie directors of the University
so considered it. They spurned
the offer as they-should have done.
Mr.. Bryan is poor man and
when he made the modest donation
Of S25o to the University, we be-
ieve it is doing him an Injustice
% say that he was impelled by any
1lterior motive. The Louisiana
ottery possessed untold millions and
vas willing to spend them 70 buy
enough votes to get another charter.
II any American has ever stood
or the purity of the ballot and
gainst the darnning influence of the
'riber, that American is w. +.
5ryan. He has missed no oppor-
unity to arraign III his own for
ible language that most dangerous
oe TO our liberties. The greatest
ght that was ever made against
he money power since the days Of
Andrew Jackson was made last year
y the matchless Nebraskan. He
as done more to lift our politics ,
rom the slough of corruption than
ny other man in our history t
nce Old Hickory taught the sup t
orters ofthe United States Bank v
lat the dollar was not almighty. 7
In view of the splendid fight that i
lr. Bryan has waged and is now v
aging upon the combined forces q
the money power we utterly fell v
} see how even his most bitter 2
aemy can construe his small con- T
ibution to the State University as t
4 effort to t'the systematic sub
dizing" of that school, much less S
) an offer to be compared to the n
roffered bribe made by an organi- {
ltion whose purpose was known to II
: bribery in its most hideous a
rm. c

There isn't any sort of doubt
that the war-we mean the civil
war-is over. The Toledo Blade,
the paper made famous by "Petro-
leum Nasby," has this to say:
If it be true that the President entertains
the idea OF making Fitzhugh Lee a brixa-
saier general in case of war, it will meet W ith
approval all over the country.

In the last Republican conven-

hereafter"

Houston is az miles from this
place and the distance to New Or
leans is only IA miles. Papers
from the Texas city reach here two
hours and half before those of
New Orleans. This accounts for
the large number of Houston papers
sold here every day, particularly at
this time when people are eager to
get the news as carly as possible.
An earlier train from New Orleans
would certainly increase the sale of
the morning papers of that city.
