Lafayette Whisky a Scarcity.

From a special to the New Orleans
papers we learn that on Monday La
fayette, for the first time in its his
tory was an eminently dry town that
day, not a saloon having opened ITS
doors. This unusual condition OF
affairs is due to the fact that the city
council at a recent meeting adopted
a thousand-dollar liquor license, and
the decision of the saloon keepers not
to paw that amount for the privilege
of selling liquor in the corporate
limits. The saloon keepers contend
that as the parish license is fixed at
5000 they can not pay . Thousand dol
lars and probably compete against
the LIQUOR dealers in the parish. After
the parish had put down its license to
500 a majority of the city council
voted to place the license at the same
figures. Mayor Caffery vetoed the
resolution, and the license now stands
at $1,000, hence the non-opening o.
the saloons to-day. Monday the
council was to have met in regular
session, and it was believed that the
5000 license ordinance would be pass.
ed wei the mayors veto, but there
was no quorum present, aid th'
meeting WAS postponed to meet Wed
nesday. The result is awaited witt
much interest by the people, q larg'
majority OF whom appear to be in ia
. vor of q reduction of the license.

For our sugar planters to oppose
expansion because it may affect the

through undiplomatic confession. In
that considerable remnant of the
United States which pays the sugar
duty, the suspicion may arise that
our sugar planters keep the jar OF
patriotism too close to the polariscope.

That men of small means who are

In sending the battleships Iowa
and Oregon to Manila, it is given out
that the Iowa is the pride of our navy.
Such is erroneous. The Indiana is
the most powerful warship aioat, de-
clares the Scientific American, an un-
questionable authority. The only
difference between the Iowa and the
Indiana that favors the former is her
sea-worthiness. OF all the ~battleships
already constructed, the Indiana is
the most heavily armored. She oan
stand more hammering and return
more terrific blows than any other
ship. Though her displacement is
only 10,288 tons, she is more than a
match for the Victorious, Renown,
Magnificent, and the remaining six
teen ~battleships Of the British navy
vessels of 16, 900 tons displacement.

Good Bye to the Gate System.

railroad has decided to discontinue
the use of gates on its trains. 1t was
a very unpopular arrangement and
one against which persons travelling
over that road have long complained.
It was attempted at n time to have
passed through the State Legislature
a law prohibiting the use OF gates by
the railroad companies. The measure
was aimed at the Southern Pacific
Company, but it vas never made q
law, due to the hard fight put up by
those opposing it. Representative Il.
P. Leblanc, of Vermilion, was the
father of the bill.
Now comes the announcement mat
the railroad company, of its own voll-
ton. has decided to do away with the
system. The news was embodied IN
the following order:
Houston, Tex, Dec. 80, 1898.
CIRCULAR.
The train gate system established
on these lines in May 1896, as a
measure of protection to life, limb
and property, has been successfully
operated since that time, and the re-
suits to the company in decreasing
accidents and increasing revenue,
have been very satisfactory.
The opposition of the public to the
system, however, instead OF deereas-
inc has steadily grown, and in defer
ence to its wishes and with the view
of trying to please u patrons, It has
been decided to discontinue the sys-
tenn on January l, 1899.
w. G. VAN Week, Manager.
The order gets its Importance by
reason of the fact that the fight to
have the gate system abolished was
lone of the hardest fought contests
which occurred during the last SEES
sion of the Legislature. Those who
favored it said that the action of the
railroad companies in placing gates on
the platforms of its cars was tyrannl-
cal and very great hardship on pas
t sengers, especially those who lived IL
r the country. They complained there
) was great delay in getting on boare
cars because the guards examined the
6 tickets of each person and If thu
E weather was inelenent the passenger
) ran great risk OF contracting illness
[ There were other reasons urged 3.
e them against the system.
On the other hand the railroad
company conteaaed that it was al
most absolutely necessary that the,
e should have gates attached to each 9
q their cars. One reason was that
i prevented the loss of life and limb
4 Another reason was that it preyente'
e dishonesty on the part of conductors
1t will be remembered that some tim
ago there occurred a great scands
dine to the arrest of several conduC
tors, who it was said had been rot
binp the road. 1t was claimed tbs
= instead Of certain passengers buyin
Il tickets to travel over local trains the
J" would pay the conductor an amour
less than that which they would hay
" to paw for a ticket for their destins
y ton and that both the conductor an
the passenger would profit by IL
. scheme, as the conductor would pl
the money in his pocket and the raj
:. road company would be none tt
!; wiser. Third reason advanced W;
IL
that by the gate system sneak thiev'
were prevented from getting on Il
trains and making away with yalu
bles.
The fight ended in the bill not b
ing adopted, but the travelling publ
Sc continued to kick and therefore Il
he system is discontinued.
