A MENANCE TO SUGAR.

Washington, Dec. g. The mem
bers of Louisiana delegation in
both Houses of Congress unite in
declaring the Presidents message a
strong and carefully prepared state
paper. Senator Foster thought
that it was PATRIOTS in tone, that it
showed painstaking care in prepar-
alton. Several of its recommends
lions appealed to members from
Louisiana, notably the clause devot-
ed to the construction of an 18TH
milan canal, III which are pointed
out the probably beneficial effects
upon the Gulf and South Atlantic
States.
The hearty support given by the
Chief Executlveto the report Of the
Secretary OF the Navy, in his call
for more ships, and more officers
and men, pleased Gen. Meyer, who,
as member of the committee on
naval affairs, is anxious to see the
work of the navy fastened forward.
The members of the Louisiana
delegation do not pretend, however,
to disguise the fact that there Is an
element of danger in the Presi-
dents message with respect to en-
tering into reciprocal trade relations
with Cuba. The islands only In
dustry being agriculture, and It's
chief products being sugar and to.
bacco, the Recommendations tor re-
duced import duties cannot, they
say, prove other than a menance to
the American tobacco and sugar
growers.

much argument in the senate
A motion was made to postpon,
the bill indefinitely which motor
was lost and the bill referred tt
the proper committee. Speaking
of the bill Senator McNemer saiC
in part:
When the reform school bill
was up asked him what twoulc
cost him to live per month" " said
Senator McNemer, land his re-
ply was that he had lived on S.
per month. He said that paid his
grocery bills and all, | thought
then that he must have subsisUed
on the mast in winter and grass
in the spring (laughter) and now
I am inclined to believe it. Of
all the ridiculous 'hubbub' I have
ever heard, he has presented itin
trying to maintain this measure.
The officers affected by this bill
are not appointiye, They are
elected by the people, and with
the new church carpets to buy
and the widows and orphans to
care for, the candidates have all
they can stand up under to get
elected, and it is right that they
should have fair compensation
when they get in, All this talk
about competent clerks and sher-
ifs being so abundant is all bum
combe. am sure there is not q
citizen in all my district who can
fill my seat in the senate like I
can laughter), and God AL
mighty didn't intend to stretch a
common hide, or that brother
would have been as big as I am,
Increased laughter all over the
house, We must have com.
petent men to fill the Offices.
They are important, and their
Importance demands it, And,
sir, if we secure the services of
competent men we must pay a
reasonable compensation. My
people stand as a unit against
this measure. They do not want
it, and hope the motion will
prevail"
Senator Wood said; II en-
dorse in every particular the
sentiment expressed by the SEN
ator from Pulaski, who has just
preceded me, And I must say
that while ! have been a member
of the lower house Of this body
two terms, attended many politi-
cal rallies and heard many dem
agogie appeals to the masses, yet
for buncombe, pure and simple,
the harangue from the senator
from Sharp, the introducer Of
this bill, heads the list. He tells
US. Mr.. President, that he filled
the position Of clerk as deputy
and incumbent for five or six
years, and admitted that in such
capacity he was guilty Of COL
iec,Lu~ and pocketing all the ex-
1rb- u. fees which he seeks now
to abolish and yet, didn't grow
rich. While such official, sir, he
admitted that he frequently
pocketed as much as S35 per day
while he only paid his deputy the
muhificent salary of 70 cents per
day. Truly a magnanimous
creature! He has said, sir, that
in the state that he could find
thousands of competent men and
boys that would be glad to fill
these offices at 9 salary Of six
hundred dollars per year, wish
to say as far as my section is
concerned that he is mistaken,
Competent men do not go around
there in droyes for hire at such
figures. Of course he will find
many that propose to do it but
they will be found upon trial tC
