The resolution was as follows:

The resolution was as follows:
"That the United States of
America extend its sympathy to
the people Of the South African
republics in their heroic struggle
for liberty and popular govern
ment, and believe it to be the du-
ty of the United States of Ameri-
ca to offer mediation to the end
that further bloodshed may be
averted and an honorable peace
may be concluded between the
belligerent governments"
Senator Frye realized the seri-
GUS character of the resolution and
although he had no authority to
order it rescinded he requested
Mr.. Allen to permit the vote to be
reconsidered and let the matter
lie over. To this the Nebraskan,
with characteristic affabality, con-
sented. The resolution lies over
and when it is again presented in
the Senate, (if that body does not
again permit itself to be caught
napping,) it will be incontinently
crushed.
No matter how strong the pro-
Boer sentiment is in Congress, it
would be a breach of international
courtesy to adopt resolutions SYM
pathizing with the Afrikanders and
offering mediation as solution of
the Transvasl problem. Nor
would it be proper to officially ap-
prove the course of England in
South Africa. The Boer war is a
matter that may concern our hearts
but not our official tongues, and a
majority of Senators thoroughly
realize that fact.
There need be no fear that the
Allen resolution will again reach
the stage it Inadvertently attained
yesterday. 1t will be ground to
powder by the United States Sc
nate when it is next presented for
consideration.

The Allen Resolution.
Item.

Item.
An event without a PARALLEL oc-
Cured yesterday in the United
States Senate. The ever watchful
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska whose pro-
Boer sympathies have brought
him frequently before the bar Of
public opinion of late, observing
that the attendance was small and
those few senators who were pre-
sent we're in a somnolent state IAN
opportunity for an opening" as
the prizering artists say, and took
advantage of it. During the idle
morning hours when the cloak
rooms are crowded and the Senate
chamber almost deserted, Mr.. AL
len has frequently been observed
to take the iniative in matters in
which he has deep interest. But
since these affairs usually affected
only the interests of Mr.. Allen or
his section, little attention was
paid to them.
The Nebraskan took advanta ge
of this license yesterday to sud-
denly spring a Pro-Boer resolu-
ton in the Senate, and greatly to
the surprise of President Frye the
measure went through with a
rush. When the few half-sleepy
senators present were thoroughly
awakened they found that they
had committed the United States
to policy of antagonism to Great
Britain in her war with the Dutch
settlers In South Africa.

on Rice.
Gueydan News.
st. r1artinvilIe, La.

In an interview with a reporter
of the Times-Demourat, while i'll
New Orleans last week, Mr.. Il. j.
Lauders, who is we'll known in this
section said:
II have here the statement OF
the returns we have received from
the sale of rice raised on some
thing less than fourteen acres OF
land, and the figures are interest
ing. The rice taken from this plot
of ground was 271 sacks, and the
gross returns were 81, 287.09. Out
of that milling charges of $780, so
were deducted, giving US net re-
turn of 81, 066,50. The cost of cul-
tivation the land and gathering
the crop was SO per acre, or a to-
tai cost of $40. This leaves US q
net profit S926,50. Our total crop
was 5000 sacks and the returns
we're practically the same on the
entire lot. When it is considered
that the price of rice lands in the
Crowley district is only about $50
per acre II 10 readily seen there is
money in Louisiana rice. Brought
down to the profit per acre, we re-
ceived, over and above all cost,
about $66. Last year our crop
was almost as good as that of this
year, but the unpreveDtedly severe
storm entailed loss of about so
per cent, consequently our profit
was about half what it was this
season."

publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help

offer the four in connection with our

thing, and no farmer in this county
