Mr.. Mason. Illinois at the conclu-
sion Of the morning business read
clipping of an interview with the Brit
ish consul at New Orleans, saying that
the British public was Disguised with
the position taken by the American
people and some o nthe senators in
congress on the subject OF the British
Transvaal war That position was as
sumed the consul was quoted as say
ing. simply because the Aemrican peo-
pie were mercenary. Today they were
favorable 10 the Beers. because they
had achieved a little success, tomor-
row they would be Just as favorable
to the British when they had achieved
victory. The consul also attacked

attacks upon me are concerned, I have
no concern, they do me honor, the at

those who think like me; the more are
made the Gubjects OF British stupidity
and assintty the sooner VIII the Ameri-
can people get on the right side OF the
controversy.
He declared that 80 per cent Of the
people OF America were In sympathy
with the Beers I'm their contest with
the British.

caused a levee to be built which

When I first saw her q few days
previous to her sad departure. l
little dreamt then; that she was 30
soon to be taken away from the

Who that ever knew her gentle

could not restrain from giving q
sigh of regret, also many tears.
Most of the time away from

she had gained by her winning

Of friends. Her death has surely
thrown among them q gloom OF

long remembered.

The FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Tuesday. as announced the Tar
mers Institute was held here by
Prof. Stubbs and other scientific
orators.
This institute, in point of at
tendance, was not as large as the
one held here last year, but this
was no lack of appreciation on the
part of the farmers thssp are
several good reasons why the
meeting was not as numerous. The
FIRST readbn il that q meeting was
to be held in Bresux Bridge. the
next day, consequently all the far
metkin proximity to that place
did not come here, but attended
the Breaux Bridge institute, the
second reason, is that after the
wet spell, the planters are hard at
work making their forage while
the weather is favorable. the Sea-
son being veil advanced for that
crop.
We are, however, pleased to say
that our planters are more than
ever, interested in agriculture, and
the most intelligent of our far
mers, those who read, and have
ambition. those who spe progress
sive and. want to make farming
successful, those who believe that
the present system Of farming is
not the best, where those who we're
present and took the. greatest in
terest in talking and discussing
farming with tine men Of science
who are employed by the State b
make experience for the benefit a
the farming interest, and We are
satisfied that every one present
has gained valuable informatior
concerning agriculture. &
To the energy and enterprise d
Mr.. "A. Morrow. the, able and
L -
efficient President of the Farmer
club, is due the success of theaI
institutes, and If we had q few
more planters of the intelligeut
energy and activity of Mr.. Nor
row, st. Martin parish would sooz
blossom into one of the riches
and most productive parishes i
the state, and our people woul(
then become more prosperous anG

HE DODGED.

Brother Greig of the Evange-I
line, is an artful dodger, he will
never come out to the point, but
will always take another subject
TO get out of his ENHANCEMENT:
Well, Brother. we are not dis
posed to blame you for your
course, because we believe in the
independence OF men as we'll as
newspapers, but be plncky enough
to admit your Independence. Do
not boast of your Democracy when
you are not of the pure article
Your action in the last State cam
paign proves that, and clearly too.
The Messenger is proud to be
classed an independent journal,
though sous say it is Republican;
but we can say that the Messen-
ger is entirely and absolutely in
dependent of all political combin-
alton, and not one single political
faction ever control or will ever
control this paper Or political
purpose.
We support the Democratic tic
ket when-we believe it is the best
and cleanest and will better re.
present the interest of the people,
and not of one political ring
We are an advocate of protec-
ton for our labor and industries
and We believe that we can only
prosper if our labor and industries
are protected, and particularly our
cane and our rice aud our salt and
lumber, aud how can You, Bsother
Greig, who is interested in rices
can preach free trade! Have you
forgotten the days when rice was
selling at four dollars sack, whom
cane was selling at four and five
dollars ton, under the Mckinley
tariff bill, and when Cleveland
and q Democratic congress came
in what was the RESULT Ruin and
bankruptcy everywhere. cane drop
ped down to One Dollars and q
half per ton and rice to One Dol

poor that property was without

ployed men marched upon WASH

which Bob B{busssrd and other

The revenues of the national

credit, who could not borrow

and fAtHy JG6red untold misery.
II you have forgotten all these
things Brother Greig. I'VE have

have the first consideration of

sticking to party principle, and
hugging ruin, starvation and de-
