REPUBLICAN, POLITICAL
MORALITY

l)a1Iy ficayune.
The platform of resolutions
adopted at the recent Republican
convention at Alexandria is made
up chiefly of a violent TRADE on the
alleged political corruption and
election frauds charged upon the
Democrats of Louisiana.
If ever there was a notorious and
most conspicuous example of the
authors, practicers and promoters
of the most unparalleled and out
rageous political corruption and
criminality the world has ever
known setting themselves up as
guardians and censors of public
morals, it is seen in the action Of
that convention. 1t is such a spec
tacle as would be realized If Satan
himself should undertake to reprove
men for the commission of sins of
which he was the chief exemplar,
and to the commission of which he
had driven them by every means of
force and temptation.
ne perlOQ OF feCOnStruCtlOn In
Louisiana, when the whole military
power of the United States was used
to crush the white people of the
State into submission and subjec-
ton to the radical Republican and
negro politicians whose object was
to plunder the State and to oppress
its people and outrage all decency
and morality, was perhaps the most
infamous ever recorded in the whole
history of politics.
Some Of the very men who were
prominent actors in the outrages of
| at infamous period were members
of the Alexandria Convention, and
many of the other participants in
the acts of the convention had ac-
tual knowledge of the events of the
reconstruction infamy, which they
| virtually indorse, if their political
acts and environments are to be
| considered. Censure and condem
nation from such source are
really praise, and honor and justice
are only found in being uncompro-
misingly opposed to whatever prop.
ositions that may emanate from
such convention.

COTTON MILLS nv THE
.SOUTH

The cotton mill industry in the
At the present time in the State of
North Carolina there are twenty
five mills in course of construction,
with capital stocks ranging from
S4s, 900 to 100000. Last year
there were $50 mills IN that State.
This year the number will be greatly
increased. In Georgia also this in:
dustry has passed from the expert
mental stage and now offers a safe
and very remunerative field Of in
vestment. While but few mills are
heing operated in Louisiana there
is strong sentiment among all
classes that this State should follow
the example of Moth Carolina
from whose borders very little raw
cotton is shipped. North Carolina
manufactures a large portion of the
cotton that it produces, thereby
keeping At home millions of dollars
which would otherwise 60 to build
the prosperity of other States.
There is no better point than La
fayette in the whole South for the
successful! operation of cotton
mill. Realizing this fact our peo-
pie should make known the advan-
tages of this place and hasten the
arrival of the day when capital will
be inclined to recognize Lafayette
as site most suitable to build a
cotton mill.
A Times-Democratc corresPon dent
from Charlotte, N. c., writes as
follows:
The most remarkable month of the cotton
mill industry for this State that has ever
been known has just passed. Six mills in
corporated, seven more organized and at
least six more that will soon be organized,
besides number that are being talked of is
| the unsurpassed record in milling circles for
the month of January, the most remarkable
stride ever known in the milling industry in
the South.
At the present time there are twenty-five
| mills in course of construction in North
| Carolina. The total capital of the mills
incorporated during January is about half a
| mills organized during the month but moi
yet incorporated will reach nearly a million
| and half dollars. These figures do moi
| include the half dozen mills which will soon
be organized in the State.
| Taking the mills incorporated and those
organized or soon to be organized, the
| figures will reach the enormous sum of
nearly two and half million dollars in
vested in the milling business during the las
few weeks or since the middle of December

The ssaddress to the voters of tn e
parish of Lafayette" published over
the signatures of the defeated can
didates of the anti administration
ticket has not caused the milde st
ripple in our local politics. The
Democrats of this parish partici-
pated in the primaries in good faith
and it is an insult to their intelli-
Rence and honesty to even suspect
that they will not abide by the re-
suits of those primaries. OF course
there are some people who never
intended to vote for the Demo
cratic ticket, but the consciences of
these do not crave for the soothing
balm of absolution SO freely given by
the signers of this somewhat re-
markable address. They esteem
the violation of a pledge Of this
kind an extremely trivial matter
and it is a reckless squandering Of
the holy ointment if they are the
ones who are SO generously cab
solved from any pledge or promise
to abide by the result of the pri-
mary election" The Democratic
voters of this parish know that there
was a free, full and fair vote cast at
the primaries and the defeated can =
didstes had every opportunity to,
and did, poll their whole strength,
including large number of voters
who had no business to vote in a
Democratic primary as is clearly
shown by their support of the Re
publican ticket to-day. We be-
lleve that the fair minded voters OF
this parish will agree with US that
the primaries held last December
were cminently fair and that there
is absolutely no cause for the ILL
advised protest published last
Saturday.

Geological Survey of Louisiana.
Prof. C. d. Harris, State geolo-
gist, has been in Lafayette since
last Saturday. 1t was stated in last
Saturdays Gazette that the purpose
establishment of meridian line for
the guidance of surveyors. Prof
Harris work, however does not
stop with the establishment of a
line, but embraces the various func-
tions of a geological survey, which
will be of great scientific and prac
tical utility. This survey originated
in the desire of Prof. Stubbs, direc-
tor of the State Experiment Stations,
to have the soils of this State
studied in the most comprehensive
manner possible. To do this work
the services of Prof. Harris, of
Cornell University, were secured.
1t is obvious to all that the different
soils may be studied from chemi
cal and physical standpoint, and in
their relations to the geological
formations which underlie them and
from which they are mainly derived;
but, as we understand it, a geologi-
cal survey has other functions than
tracing soils back to the formations
from which they were derived. One
of its first objec is is to ascertain
what formations are represented in
the State and how they lie with res
pee; to one another, both geograph-
ically and stratigraphically. Inn
portant beds that occur in any form
alton can be traced by the geologist
for long distance with great facility
when once the general lay of the
different formations is understood.
In this particular vicinity great
interest is felt in obtaining a def
mite knowledge of the waterbea ring
strata that underlie us, that is, how
many are there, at what depths we
may expect to strike them, what is
the source and quantity of supply?
These questions can be answered by
geological reseach. There is need
here of intelligent advice regarding
road materials and road-making,
and of good maps for our own en-
ligtenment and for the information
of prospective visitors and settlers.
Surveyors all agree that more
accurate record of the variation OF
~ oaol1o &c raa1a6 This
is an easy task when once a meri-
dian line is established and perma
nently marked.
There is great need in this par
of the State of better understand
ing Of what deposits may be foune
some distance under the surface o
the soil. Indications of valuable
minerals are found in wellLb0rlng
and in the Five Islands, which geo
r Rg1caf Investigations show to have
been pushed up by subterranear
forces. All these subjects are be-
ing taken up and looked after as
fast as means and time will permit.
The First Annual Report of the
Geological Survey, treating to a
considerable extent of Northern
Louisiana, though the Five Islands
are we'll figured, mapped and dis
cussed, will be ready for distribu-
ton about the 1st of next April.
1t will contain over 400 pages and
fifty plates, maps and figures in
the text. This valuable work will
be sent free to any farmer who will
write to the State Experiment Sta
ton for a copy.
Prof. Harris will leave to-day 70,
Opelousas, but he will return tC

Disappointino Returns.

Poultry commission merchants say
that one reason why a great many
shippers are disappointed in the prices
they receive on good poultry is that
they persist in shipping stock Of sizes
which are not in demand. Thus enor-
nous quantities of chicks Weighing
three to four pounds are sent to all
the large cities, and as they are Meth
er broilers nor roasters, are sold on
the open market at the lowest prices
going. OF course the shippers who
know that the quality of the stock
was good is dissatisfied with the re-
turns. For the city market there is
nothing between the broiler and the
rooster. Cockrels not marketed at
broiler size should be held for roasters.
and If possible should be caponized.
If this is done they can be held for a
favorable market. Cockrels which
have not been caponized must be mar
keted while soft, no matter how poor
the prices are, for after they become
hard and STACEY" they bring no more
than old cocks.-Farm Poultry. -,- rs

w. o. Stoddard, Jr., representing
the Pure Food Company of Newark,
N. j., called on me the other day to
make some inquiries as to egg produc-
ton and the location of the most i'm
portant primary egg market. Mr..
Stoddard is interested in a new ma
chlne for desiccating eggs, which is
said to be an improvement upon the
methods formely in vogue, both as to
the quality of the product and the
economy of desiccating. Mr.. Stoddard
gave me sample of the product,
which, he said, had been made about
SIX weeks before; it is of unusually
hne- grain. dry, of bright attractive
color and smells fresh and sweet. An
omelet made from this sample had no
peculiarities whatever as compared
with one made from fresh eggs: the
consistency is the same and the flavor
all right. Mr.. Stoddard claims that
the product can be kept Indefinitely
under proper conditions, and he ex-
poets 1t to find general use in com
petition with refrigerator eggs. The
desiccated article can be used for
every purpose for which eggs are used
except, OF course, where the whole
egg Is necessary or where whites and
Jokes must be separated.-Cor. Pro-

member when 1,400 to 1900 pound
horse was a heavy draft horse, or a
three-minute trotter a speedy roadster.
Times have changed, however, and the
heavy draft horse must weigh 300 to
500 pounds more and the roadster go
a good many seconds faster to be
clasSed as good ones of their kind. Is
takes better horse to be good one
nowadays than 1t did ten or twenty
or Iairty years ago. The ideals of
those days will not serve. The breed

high to-day, and this is the only kind
that is going to pay for his oats here
