II the white counties pay more

black counties pay vastly more

and the school money above the
poll tax is taken from the State

Sugar Planters.

There is a constant fear on the
part of the people of Louisiana
that the sugar inter SITS of that
state will be ruined by the annex
alton of Cuba. and the territories
of Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines, all of which are
large sugar prod ucing countries,
and boing part of the United
States. their sugar would be adj
mitted free of duty Hence. the
sugar planters have turned Re-
publican, thinking that party
would impose a protective tariff
for them on foreign sugar. But
the government can not do that
any more than it could impose a
tax on all products shipped from
this State into Louisiana. These
countries. except Cuba, are as
much a part of onr nation as any
other state or territory. At one
time the government gave the
Louisiana sugar planters a boun-
ty of &c per pound, we believe,
on all their sugar, to compensate
them for sugar being on the free
list, but this law has been abro
gated. The cotton planter has
to raise cotton and compete with
all foreign countries that raise
cotton-Africa, South America
India, Russia, China, and the
isle of the sea. Not only this,
but the price Of his cotton is

GOVERNMENT BONDS CALLED IN.
Over S25,OOO,O 1000 of the 1901 Funded
 Loan to be Ltqutdated.

Washington, May 1S.-Secretary Gage after the cabinet meeting to-day an- nounced that he would at once issue call for the redemption of the S25,364- 800 of outstanding per cent. bonds of the funded loan of 1891, interest to cease on September 1 next. Under the acts of July IA, 1870 and January 20, lS'l' the government issued $250000,000 or bonds bearing 4 12 per cent. per an GOO, 900 were extended at ? per cent. ln- terest redeeemable at the option of the United States. For some weeks past Secretary Gage has had under eonsld- eration the question of calling in these bonds for the purpose of reducing the surplus funds now in the treasury. Dur ing the last two and half months or the present fiscal year the receipts have exceeded the expenditures by over $5S, 100000. In taking this action the secretary had no choice as to what par ticular loan he would call, as the per cent of 1891 were the only class Of bonds that fall due before 1904.
 The secretary of the treasury this ar ternoon issued public circular, ill which, after quoting section 3 of the act of July II, 1870, he says:
 "The secretary of the treasury hereby gives public notice that the bonds of the funded loan of 1891, amounting to $25,- 364, 800 will be redeemed at the treasury department on and after the 18th day ot August, 1900, and that interest on said bonds will cease on said August IS. Holders of such bonds, desiring their redemption prior to the date of their maturity under this call may present them for that purpose at any time be- fore said August IS, and receive pay ment with accrued interest to the date of presentation. All of the bonds above designated are registered bonds, and they should be assigned in due form to the Secretary of the Treasury for re- demption.'
 National banks owning bonds of the above loan lodged with the treasurer of the United States to secure circulation of public deposits may obtain their re- demption by substituting like amounts of other United States bonds.

Butte, Mont, May Ex-Governor Smith to-day sent dispatches from here to Senator w. A. Clark, Senator Chand- Ter chairman of the committee on priv ileges and elections, and Senator Frye, president of the senate, saying that ne had disregarded and revoked the acton of Lieutenant-Governor Spriggs In naming MT Clark to succeed to the va cancy caused by his own resignation, and saying that he had named Martin Maginns, of Helena, to fill the vacancy. The governor gives his opinion that the appointment of MT. Clark by the lieu tenant governor was tainted by collu- sion and fraud.
 The governor sent a formal protest to MT. Chandler, detailing his reasons. He has also issued an open letter to the people of the state denying that he had any knowledge of the contemplated step when he left the state, He says he went to California, at the request or Thomas R. Hinds, to look up the title of some mining property. He owed Flnlen two thousand dollars, and that by going
 he could clear the indebtedness. Miles Finen is one of the democrats in the legislature who voted against Clark. Martin Maginnis was delegate In con gross for the territory when Montana became a state.
