The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1900-09-15
The Reason Why.

In the dispatches of the early
portion of last week we read of
the renewal of the racial disburb.
ances in the city Of New York.
In one section Of the city the
trouble was brought on by throw
ing of an apple core by negro
boys; in another by an attempt
made by a negro woman to stab a
man with 4 hat pin and slash him
with a razor.
While the metropolis is thus
continually agitated, the city of
New Orleans has almost forgotten
the terrible episode Of few
months since.
Why is this!
II is because the people in the
South are sincere in their dealings
with the negro, while in the North
this is not the case. Here the
negro is let alone, is respected i'm
his walks in life just 50 long as he
do not make the error of attempt.
ing to be the ruling power. here
his position is fixed: there it is
not so.
In the north they are told they
are in every repect the peer Of the
calcassians; he is told that in
South he Is not given justice; he
or she acquires the ordinary daily
titles, yet in time Of disagreement
like the past few weeks in New
York, the north is more severe
and less just to them than is the
South. Hence, the negro north of
MasOn's and DixOn's line expect
ing more consideration, and re-
celving less than in the South be-
comes revengefnl, nurses evil
thoughts and seeks opportunities
to avenge his greater wrongs, and
the question in New York, has as
sulned tho status Of a race war.
In New Orleans q wrong was
avenged and the matter was over.

lealing with the regro.i w.

Thus it will be seen that almost
one half of this area rests in the
state of Louisiana. and just the
same ratio of square acres is in
our own state. Hence it should

The idea of this work is to prove
that the national government
should control the nations river
for the nations good.n That the
national government should look
after, buuld protect, and add to the
great levee system necessary to
prevent frequent overilows. 1t is
claimed that 100000. 900 will be
a sufficient sum to complete the
work, already in great state of
efficiency, SO that the 13,OO0,00
of the 10 1865. 600 acres not in cul-
tivation. can be made to produce
various and valuable crops annually
I'm support of the national phase
Of the river some of the arguments
used are:
The people of this valley are the
largest buyers in the world in pro-
portion to their means, even purchas-
ing most of their meat and meal, while
they do not produce, it is estimated.
over one-half of the provender for
their mules and other stock.
The great manufactures OF shoes.
cotton and wooden goods, farm ma
chinery. furniture, drugs, liquors, and
hundreds of other articles. find in this
valley their best customers, while the
raisers of wheat, corn, hay, mules,
hogSand cattle, always find here b
steady and growing market
But aside from the business and
financial aspect question, there is in
voived in it an element of justice to
the people of the valley: for it must be
remembered that the rainfall from the
Apalachees to the Rockies, flowing
down through nearly 10000 miles OF
navigable, utilized waterways, is a
constant menace to those who dwell
behind the Mississippi River levees.
We judge the book has great
merits and await its publication
with feeling bordering on i'm
patience w.

dowager Queen Margaret, former
Queen Maria Pia of Portugal. as well
as some of the royal princes, reached
the Pantheon In carriages.
The new king and the Italian princes,
ON their arrival, book up positions on
the right side OF the church, the
queens and princesses stationing them
selves on the left.
During the ceremony all business
was suspended. The cortege was an
imposing sight. 1t was six kilometres
long and as the procession solemnly
moved along the avenues that were
hung with deepest mourning between
the station and the Pantheon, the spec
tacle was one never TO be forgotten.
During the afternoon the Pantheon
was opened to the public but the crowd
was so great that the gates had to be
closed in order TO prevent accidents.
The royalties ana their suites, the
foreign missions, the cabinet ministers,
the members OF Parliament. the OH
GERS of state, the diplomatic corps, the
army and navy officials, and few in
vited guests were the only persons al
lowed inside the edifice.
There was the usual funeral liturgy
which was chanted. and then absolu-
ton was again bestowed. AS the arch
bishop, assisted by all the clergy,
blessed the corpse. he bowed and in
clined as he passed before the king and
queen.

ton of mass, during which the large
Roman orchestra. assisted by choir
of $50 voices. under Mascagni, rendered
a selection from the old italian mas
tiers. The effect was beautiful and the
execution was perfect.
On the whole, the ceremony at the
Pantheon was of majestic character.

The following address was issued To-
night:
To the Democrats of the United
States:
The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption
and intimidation in politics this year
by thorough organization. A Demo-
cratic club or society should be or
ganized in every city, town, village
and precinct in the United States.
Democrats and all who are in sympa-
thy with the principles set forth in
the Kansas City platform are ear
nestly requested to join Democratic
clubs. or, when none exists, to as
sist in organizing them. This work of
uniting the forces of law and liberty
into one great systematized civic ar
my should be carried on simultaneous
ly in every part of the country with
out delay. The friends of govern
ment, according to the hitherto UNI
challenged American theory of polit-
ical equality everywhere under our
flag, cannot afford to be less jealous
or less active than the advocates of an
American colonial empire supported by
rifles. No patriotic citizen can ignore
the attacks which are being made upon
the very foundations of our present
irreproaohable form of government.
This year every citizen should be a
politician Clubs and societies should
at once communicate with the Sec
rotary of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs, 1877 Broadway, New
York City" so that the united men,

defense of the republic as the fathers
made it. All Democratic committees,

is clubs in this work

WI WORKED HARD.

Minister WI worked assiduously
on the message during to-day,
translating it first from English to
Chinese, and then from Chinese
into the cipher code of China. Ow-
ing to the gravity OF the document,
this work required scrupulous ex-
actness and time, but it is probable
that it Is by this time on its way
to the Chinese government. The
various foreign representatives in
the city showed keen interest in
this latest move by the United
States, and called at the State
Department to inquire concerning
it. They were furnished copies of
the demand and in an informal
manner expressed their approval
of what had been done. This
action by the United States was
taken solely on its own response

powers as to the advisability of the
