The Crops.

The rainy weather during the
past days has been injurious to the
cotton crop. While being very much
of an impeachment to the work in the
cane fields it has not interfered
with the growth of the plant itself.
Cane growers we're about to do the
work preparatory to the laying by
of the cane and they have been con-
siderably hindered by the heavy
showers. From all reports the
cane crop will be pretty fair this
year. Should the rain continue to
fall as it has ecently cotton will
suffer very much particularly in the
lands which are not properly
drained. There seems to be a good
yield of corn. All in all the out
look is bright enough both as to
yield and prices.

Jerry Simpsons Economy.


kansas City Telegram to the New York
SUM-
Sockless Jerry Simpson has been
one of the most interested specta-
tors a this convention, but nobody
has been able to find him except
when the convention was in session.
'Sockless" came here with a load
Of cattle from his farm at Medicine
Lodge He started because he was
one of the National Committee
which was appointed to force the
Democratic Convention to Romi
nate Charles A. Towne. The rea-
son that the "Sockless" one could
not be found except at convention
time was because he tabooed the
hotels and put up in an out-of-th
way boarding house. The last ex-
with a hotel was in Sioux Falls.
He arrived there on the day before
the Populist convention met, and,
gong to the Cataract House, regis
tered. After he had registered he
said to the gentlemanlv clerk:
81 want t" get my dinner; what
will it cost?''
"Seventy-fve cents, Mr.. Simp-
son." replied the clerk.
"Holy Moses!" exclaimed SinIp-
son. s'What will it cost to take my
name off the register?"
FIFTY CENTS" said the clerk,
without ever cracking smile, and
the sSockless" one threw down a
half dollar and went out of the
hotel. He wanted to get a plank
in the Populist platform denoun-
cling hotels generally, but the Popu-
lists would not have it. The
''Sockless" one, however, has never
forgiven the hotels and never will

A Much Needed street.

a street through the properties OF
Mrs. VIM. Campbell, Mr.. Alex
Mouton and DR.. Tolson would no
doubt greatly facilitate traffic be-
tween the town and the industrial
College and it is to be regretted
that the committee appointed by
the Council to negotiate for the
right of way has not been able to
reach an agreement with Mr.. Mou-
ton. We understand shat the
Council committee offers to give
5000 for so feet while Mr.. Mou-
ton insists upon getting $500. Mr..
Mouton's property, through which
the right Of way is desired, runs
from Oak Avenue to the road front
ing the College grounds, a distance
of about five arpents.
The Gazette will not 60 INTO the
merits of the proposition but will
simply express the hope that mutual
concessions will be made in order
that this matter may be settled with
out the delay which would be caused
by a recourse to the courts. The
Gazette believes that the street
should be opened to afford shorter
route to the school. The proposed
street would no doubt add largely
to the value of the lots in the
neighborhood, fact which should
not be overlooked. Without the
opening of new street, in order to
reach the school one must go
around the jewish cemetery or
through Tincan Alley, either way
being entirely too long and would
entail an unnecessary hardship
upon pedestrians. The main rea-
son for the selection of the new
site was to place the school within
easy reach of children who would
live in town. AS it is now 1t would
be nearly impossible for children
to walk to the school. The COM
munity has made too great a sacri-
fee to secure the school to fail
now to provide the best, shortest
and most conve nient route to it.
The only thing that stands in the
way of an amicable settlement of
this matter is difference of $500,
very small sum when the great
need of the street is considered.

New Iberia Cotton Mill.

A special from New Iberia to
the Picayune of July 1o says: The
Board Of Directors of the New
Iberia Cotton Milling Company,
Limited, met yesterday evening at
8 O'Clock at the Town Hall for the
purpose OF examining the proposals
Offering sites for the new mill. All
of the fifteen members Of the board
were present, save three. President
Suberbielle was in the chair. Sec
rotary Leopold Levy was Instructed
to open and read all propositions
bearing upon the question of site.
There were six of these, but only
two of which engaged the debate of
the members of the board.
ga motion was made to accept
Mrs. VIM. Lourd's proposition to
donate ten acres along the Iberia
and Vermilion Railroad track within
the corporation limits, together with
the option of buying eleven acres
more at any time within two years
at 500 per acre, the price to be
paid in stock at par. The motion
promptly brought out a substitute:
That the board accept the joint
proposal of C. w. Sentell and Mrs.
E. l.. Grant to sell ten acres of land
along the main line OF the Southern
Pacific Railroad track at the ex-
IRENE lower limits of the town at
$Ioo per acre, stock to be issued to
the landowners at par in exchange.
An earnest and protracted debate
ensued, the several members taking
different sides, till possibly all the
points of advantage, as we'll as dis
advantage, of the two positions and
the sites we're fully out. A vote
was taken on the substitute, and it
was lost. A rising vote was then
called on the original motion. when
all the members of the board, in
Guiding the president, promptly rose
to their feet.
ga committee was then appointed
to receive the site; also to take such
steps as having titles examined and
acts prepared, after which the meet
ing adjourned"

He Was Il Lily White.

People living outside the boun-
diaries of the Pelican State are de-
luded into the belief that a Lily
White Republican is necessarily a
member of the Caucasian race, but
that impression is altogether err
roneous. The complexion of a
Lily White may not bear the re-
hottest resemblance to the color in
Dictated by his political appellation.
One of the Louisiana delegates to
the Philadelphia convention hap
pened to be coon of the deepest
dye. 1t is no discledit to this
worthy representative of Louisiana
Republicanism to say that the color
of his face is not unlike the fune-
real hue of coal-tar. For this, how
ever, we bear no malice toward this
exponent of the principles of the
grand old party, but we wish to tell
of strange but true incident which
happened in the City of Brotherly
Love.
Our Republican delegate was aP-
prOaChed by northern reporter
and asked to state to which wing OF
Louisiana Republicanism he claimed
allegiance. Rising to the full Dig
nifty Of his position, he replied
"Me, boss? O., I'se Lily White?

smiled and expressed desire moi
to see the darkest member of the
/ black and tan wing of the Louis
lana contingent.

THE INSANE.

Deputy Sheriff ThOs. MoutOn left
Wednesday morning for the Jackson
Asylum having in CUSTODY two in
taken to thai institution. These
women had been in the parish Jail
for some time as there was no va
cant place in the ASYLUM for them
AS is well known the State appro-
priatio for the care of the insane
permits the accommodation at the
Asylum of only limited number
Of inmates. The young man Mala-
part, who was incarce,ated in the
Jail at this place couple of weeks
ago, will have to remain there until
DR.. Havs finds it possible to &C
commndate him. AS it is now, the
ward for white men at the Asylum
is taxed to its full capacity.
We believe that the Legislative
appropriation toward the support OF
the Asylum has been increased this
year and provisions will be made to
care for larger number of insane
people than heretofore. The Louis
lana Asylum has, considering its
inadequate support by the State,
been a splendidly managed institu-
ton. Las, year the average mum
Der of inmates at the Asylum ex-
ceeded 100 and as large as that
proportion of insanity may appear.
it is fact that hundreds of unfor-
Inmates were confined in private in
situations aud in the parish jails.
1t is inexpressibly sad to be com
PEELED to incarcerate these people,
who are guilty of no crime but who
are merely the victims of cruel
fate, in the prisons and made to
languish there among criminals.
1t is to be hoped that the State
will be able to make adequate ap-
preparations at the next session OF
the Legislature and that in the fu-
ture it will not be necessary 10 keep
insane persons in the jails where i,
is impossible To- treat them properly.
