Grip Up North.

Reports from Washington are to
the effect that grip RACES at Wash
lngton. Physicians estimate that
fully ten per cent of the people in
the District of Columbia are suf-
fering from it. Many Senators,
members of the House and other
important persons are sick with it.
Grip is a contagious disease
which is ravaging all the principal
Northern cities and priyails in the
country districts; but that fact seems
to create no public alarm. 1t does
not stop business or travel and
transportation, and it is not used
as bugbear by competing CONNER
cial cities TO divert trade from a
rival community.
The people, when grip RACES,
simply go about their regular bust
ness and face the disease, as if it
were not a seriously fatal disorder.
An epidemic of grip among The
people of Northern cities and States
makes no difference in the conduct
of public or private affairs. 1t does
not stampede the officers of State
Governments any more that ii does
the people at large. altogether ex-
cept that it kills them off pretty
actively, it attracts no special at
tention.
The contrast with the behavior
of the Southern people when they
get real or supposed visitation of
yellow fever among them is re-
markable. The people themselves
fee from their homes; State of
ficials abandond their post of duty
and make their escape, often from
a mere imaginary foe. All the
towns, cities and country hamlets
in the several States array ed i'll the
bltterest hostility, one against the
other, and it Is more than life IS
worth to attempt communication
between two such hostile camps,
so that interstate and interstate
commerce are stopped, the mails
are held up and all sentiments of
humanity, pity and sympathy are
for the time suspended, while
charity seems to even seace or ex-
list.
An epidemic of grip, which is
a Northern disease has no such
influence on the people who are
exposed to it, although its ravages
are az fatal as has been any fever
know in the South for long
time. The contrast IN the be-
havolr of the people of the two
sections, under the influence of
their characteristic diseases, is
truly remarkable and is hard to
explain.-Plcayune.

The Women Of New Or
leans and the spec
ial Tax.

The Era Club of this city Will
hold meeting Jan. IS, at 8 P. M,
either in the banquet hall of the
st. Charles Hotel or in some other
available hall, to hear speeches
from prominent citizens Of New
Orleans on the subject of the pro-
posed paving and drainage tax.
The club is composed largely of
women taxpayers of this city, who
will vote at the coming special tax
election. They are generally we'll
disposed toward the tax, and want
to hear the argument IN support of
it.
The Constitution provides. Arti-
Gle 1919, as follows:
sUpon the question submitted
to the taxpayers, as such, of any
municipal or other political sub
division, of this State, the quallfi-
cations of such taxpayers as voters
shall be those Of age and residence,
prescribed by this article; and Wo-
men taxpayers shall have the right
te vote at all such elections with
out registration, in person or by
their agents, authorized in writing.
Under this article women will
vote for the first time in Louisiana
in any way. They need not 60 to
the poll, but can have their votes
cast for them by agents, the d!s-
agreeable features of an election
being thus dispensed with.-Times-
Democrat.
The Times Democrat is a little
off in saying this will be the first
time women have voted in Louisi-
ana. At the special election held
in Covington on Monday, Sept. 8,
1898, quite a number of lady prop
erty owners voted, Through their
authorized agents, on the question
Of levying a tax Of 5 mills for a
public school building.

For years past Louisiana has
been held up before the gaze of the
country as a warning to other States
against the crime of violating the
sacredness of the ballot box, and
yet never even in the days when
irregularities in elections
were absolutely necessary to pre-
vent the Attenuation of the State
were such scenes witnessed as are
related by the Atlanta Constitution
to have occurred in a recent election
in Augusta, Georgia. Negro voters
were bought up as openly as cab
bages in a huckster's stall, marched
in column to the polls and voted
by their white purchasers at SO
much per head. We are told that
in one of the wards the polls opened
with negro voters in line for Nc
Auliffe, who had been camped
around the polls all night, under
guard of white lieutenants. They
were quite jubllant until $3.50
o'clock, when the Clark lieutenants
marched 400 negro voters in line
to the polls from neighboring
wagon-yard, where they had been
penned up all night and kept under
guard. The buying of voters was
without concealment. The Nc
Auliffe men paid off in checks,
while the Clark men paid in cash
and pinned the purchase money,
IS bills, on the lapcls of the
coats Of the purchased voters, who
went among the crowd to show the
price their side way paying.
And this occurred in the good old
State of Georgia.

RAMIE.
Cleveland Man Invents q Def
brator.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. d.-W.
II. Pacher, of his city, has IN
vented q ,ramie defribrator which is
said to be success in every par
ticular, and will, it is believed,
revolutiOnlze the manufacture of
fabrics. Other inventors, it is
stated, have been at work on 4
machine of the same kind for the
past thirty years and although large
amounts of money have been ex-
pended and premiums have been
offered by governments, they have
not been successful. The machine
can be operated by boy and has a
apacity Of 400 pounds per day,
against two pounds per day, which
is the output of a man in China.
The capacity Of the machine can
be increased according to require
ments.
Ramie, which is grown very
largely in South America and the
southern states, is possible SUBJ
stitute for cotton, fax and silk.
'fhe fibFe predueel form it is the
strongest i'll the world.
Ramle grows TO perfection in St.
Tammany Parish and all that is
needed is q machine like the above
10 insIGe lls extensive cultivation.
We believe il would pay better
than cotton or cane.

Col. Bryan on Expansion.

Last Saturday night Col W. J.
Bryan was entertained by the
Travelling Mems Club in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Being the guest of the
Club it was of course in order for
him to make the principal speech,
and he did so. His subject was on
territorial expansion and among
other things he said:
sit has been the boast Of our
nation that every right makes
might. Shall we abandon this
motto of the republic and go back
a century to the monarch al motto,
which asserts that might makes
right?
BE not carried away by the ex-
citement incident to war; it will
soon subside. Our people will
turn again to the paths of peace;
Justice will resume her reign.
ssBe steadfast IN the faith of the
fathers; your fight is for yourselves
as we'll as your country. In the
words of the distinguished Geor-
gian, Hill, swho saves his country
saves himself and all things saved
do bless him. Who lets his coun-
try .die lets all things die, dies
himself ignobly-and all things
dying curse him.
"Imperialism finds the lnspira-
ton in dollars, not in duty. 1t is
not our duty to burden our people
with increased taxes In order to give
few spectators All opportunity
for EXPLOITATION; it Is not our duty
to sacrifice the best blood of our
nation in topical jungles IN an at
tempt to stifle the very sentiments
which have given vitality to Ameri-
can institutions. 1t is not our duty
to deny the people of the Philip
pines that for which our fore
fathers fought from Bunker Hill
to Yorktown.
sour nation has a mission, but
it is to iberate those who are in
bondage, not TO place shackles
upon those who are strugglingto be
free.
.We rejoice in the marvellous
victory won by Dewey in Manila
bay. We would give to him a sa-
cred place in history and crown his
memory with blessings. To us he
is hero, to the Philippines he can
be . SAVIOR. Let him be known to
posterity not az . subjugator Of an
alien race, but as the reemer Of an
oppressed people-noted as q Lord
Give, but as a Lafayette. The
gratitude of people is better than
q jeweled sword.
Col. Bryan took occasion before
he went into the army to express
his opposition to the foolish policy
which is McKinley's chief stock in
rade-expansion. Bryan is right.
He takes the true American view
Of the matter, and his words are
words of wisdom-the words of a.
statesman.-Louiaiana Appeal.

Important Ruling Of nli-
nOis' High Court.

Springfield Ills, Dec. 22.-The
Supreme Court of the State of Illi-
nois has handed down a decision
declaring that Riparian owners
along the shore of Lake Michigan
have no right to build wharves,
docks or piers out INTO the sub
merged shadows without license
from the State authorities: and that
the State holding the submerged
lands in trust for the people, would
be false to trust should it per-
NIT shore owners to encroach on the
public domain.
The decision was rendered on an
appeal from the circuit court by
Alexander III. Revell of Chicago,
who had built two piers out from
his shore property and who was
proceeded against By the State for
unlawfully retaining lands made
by accretion.
The decision is a sweeping VIC
tory for the people and 1t takes
precedence over the United
Statets Supreme Court decision
anent the Illinois Central Railroad
Company's case and leaves the way
clear for the State to proceed at
once against that company to
reclaim for the State all the docks
and wharves that the company has
built out into the lake according to
the opinion of the national tribu-
nal.

A COTTON CONGRESS.

says: Mayor Flower has joined
the New Orleans Press Club in cali
ing . cotton congress TO meet 10
this city, Feb. l6. The call is
based on letters from q number OF
men deeply interested in cotton,
who expressed the belief that a con-
oress Of this kind will result in
good. There have been several
meetings already held. at Shreve-
port, Vlcksburg and other points to
consider the cotton situation, but
these were merely STATE affairs /;
and what is desired is congress
representing all parts OF the South
and which can speak authoritattvely
for the cotton growers.
Several suggestions have been
made as TO 3 convention, and Mem
ph,s, Dallas, New Orleans and other
points have been suggested as tue
proper place at which to hold it.
The sentiment Ut q majority Of the
cotton growers who have been APP
preached On this subject is that New
Orleans is the best location for q
convention. It must be held at an
early day il 1t is desired to accom-.
plish anything IN the way Of . re-
ductlon IN acreage for it must meet
before the farmers begin planting.
Some little time will be necessary
under ordinary circumstances to
arrange the details. to secure such
o reduction Of rates from the rail-
road as will assure q good atten-
dance. These details will be I'M
necessary il the convention is
held at New Orleans, as the rail-
roads will allow reduced rates here
during February on account OF the
Carnival. The convention rates
can therefore be secured without
asking for them. Moreover, New
Orleans lies in the very center OF
the cotton country, and . larger and
more representative convention can
be assured here than any city OF
the South.
That the cotton situation needs
attention; that the Southern cotton
growers must have relief, are mat
tiers about which there is no differ
ence of opinion. Whether q oon.
vention can suggest remedy is the
only question about which there can
be any element OF doubt.
Mavor Flower believes that good
will result from the interchange Of
views and experiences on the part
Of the cotton growers, and for that
reason joins III the call for the con-
vention. II it is held now, while
tie cotton question is fresh before
the farmers, when they realize that
the present price of cotton means
their rum. they are far more likely
to come to the conclusion, and TO
adopt some plans of relief, however
radical. than they will be some
months hence, when they have for
gotten their present troubles.
