Oh. cago Furniture House Has Fur

To be the largest furniture house in the
world is distinction which the John NJ.
Smyth Company, $50 to 166 West Madi-
son street, Chicago, enjoys. An idea of
the magnitude of the establishment may
be gained from the fact that the building
contains seven and one-half acres of floor
space and that during its third of CEN
fury of business it has furnished nearly
three-quarters of million homes, or more
than the entire population of some States.

IN EWDEWCE or PROG
RE.SS.

The Iberian has RECALLED us with
several editorials dwelling exhaust
ingly and exhaustively upon the un-
paralleled advantages OF New Ibe-
ria, endeavoring to show that that
progressive town was by reason Of
its undisputed superiority the proper
place to locate the Indus
trial School. The Gazette takes a
pardonable pride in the growth of
this section of Louisiana and the
rapid strides made by New Iberia
toward attaining metropolitan pro-
portions afforded US no little graft
fcation. But in it's zeal to lay be-
fore the world the great advantages
that New Iberia possess the Ibe-
rian has failed to note one thing
which was entitled to at least a few
words of praise. We will not men
ton it ourselt, but will quote what
John Watts of the Jeanerette Her
aid says:
The associate editor of the Herald
has followed with charmed inter
est the reminiscent letters of Col
Burke in the Enterprise. But in
his delightful review of the old as
sociaiions and historic landmarks
of New Iberia, Col. Burke omits
the mention of prominent land
mark that was most forcibly i'm
pressed on our youthful mind We
refer To the old time water works
OF New Iberia. How distinctly
and vividly does the minds eye con-
jure up this. ancient and primitive
water tower. 1t was built by our
grandfather and stood near the
little shop he kept, by the old
ferry crossing. Tne tower was
built from large, hollow cypress
log. about 90 feet high, sawed off
square and bottom nailed on, and
mounted on platform. Long
years have elapsed since we wan
dered from the beloved city of our
nativity and sought fields more green
and pastures new, and we would
like to know if the old water tower
is still standing. However, cypress
is lasting wood, and it may poss-
IDLY be that the reason the historian
Of New Iberia makes no mention OF
this ancient water works system, is
because it is sllt used by the citv
and Col. Burke regards it as being
too modern for place in his
charming "reminiscences of the his
toric city.

One of the last utterances Of
Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll was on
the question of expansion or rather
Of conquest. A few days before
his death he wrote to VIM. Mattack,
editor of the Chester Oils. Clarion,
in which he expressed an opinion
on the imperialistic policy of the
administration. The great agnostic
was a man who abhored oppression
Of all kinds and he would have been
untrue to the principles which he
bad always advocated if had failed
to condemn the unamerican and
oppressive measures adopted by the

and conquer the Philippines. Col
Ingersoll wrote as follows:

A GROWING YIL.


A gentleman engaged in farming
. short distance from this town has
informed us that the greatest diff
Guilty with which he has to contend
10 the scarcity and unreliability OF
the labor that he must employ to
work in his field. In view of the
fact that this town 10 filed with idle
negroes this condition of affairs is,
to say the least. deplorable. While
farmers are unable to find laborers
for farm work, the town is tolerat-
ing gangs of lazy and worthless ne
groes who no doubt live upon the
earnings or booty of their women.
Those who have no female provid-
ers must get q living by hook or
crook. Anyone may see at all
times of the day we'll dressed and
sleek-looking bucks cougregated
about their favorite haunts, discuss
ing the probable effect Of McKinley's
last anti-civil service proclamation
or the price of Southern delegations
at the next Republican nominating
convention.
For the havdworking, honest ne
gro The Gazette bears no ill will
He should be given a chance to
make q living ano afforded every
protection, but it thinks that the
thriftless negroes who move into
town because they will not work,
ought to be made to get
away. The. other day one of our
farmers had some work which had
to be done at once. He sent one
of his hands to town to see about
getting some laborers. The mes
senger returned to his employer with
an answer which illustrates the sit
uation better than anything else we
he, ''is full Of darkies, boss, but
dey all says it's too hot to work in
de field" And the work was not
done and the farmer was compelled
to stand the loss, which a failure to
secure labor entailed.
What is true in this case we know
is true in many other cases of like
nature.
1t is notorious fact that a vast
number of negro men are satisfied
to depend upon the "basket" for
their daily ratlons. 1t is one of
the timehonored customs which
have aourished since abolition.
The negro woman who cooks for a
white family carries home a we'll
filed basket out of which she feeds
those upon whom she bestows her
affections. And to this basket
more than any other cause can be
attributed the unwillingness of the
negro to work.
The Gazette believes that the
farmers who are made to suffer for
want of hands to work their fields
have the right to complain. The
authorities should give
this matter their earnest attention.
The farmer, particularly the one
who raises cane, can not have his
WORK done without laborers and SO
long as the town permits this abuse
to continue unchecked he will
be confronted with the same
difficulty. This is an abuse
which has already been suf-
Fered to take deep root IN our COM
nunity and unless attended to by |
he proper authorities is calculated |

own and country
