Electric Railroad from, Morgan
CITY to New Iberia.

Franklin, March Ie.-Gen. F. +. Myles
is in town in connection with the electric
railway that he proposes to run through
this town from Morgan City to- New Iberia.
All the parishes have given the right OF way
for this improvement, St. Mary being the
last to act, but about month ago the police
Jury met and gave it on several con iitions.
some of which are that the corporation that
builds this read cannot sell it within 4 re-
Rod of twenty years; another thar the rail
road must be started within twelve months
from the granting Of the right of-way and
the cart, must be in operation in forty-two
months after the starting of the work.
Your correspondent interviewed Gen.
Myles, and he said that he up here now
to locate the tracks, and that soon as he
got them located he would buy property to
put his power houses and contract for all
work to be done. He says that this expert
men, has been tried up North and has
proved decided success. nut has never
been tried South, and he thinks that it will
prove decided success through here, as
this is the richest sugar belt in the United
States, and that the facilities for shipping
the produce will be much greater that il
will be bound prove success in ever,
way.
When this work is completed, Gen. Myle
says that property in the country around
the towns th@t it will through will in
crease in value 50 per cent, as then a per
son can take a and be in town as quckl,
as some people that live in the towns wall
to their places of bushes, an that then St
Mary and Iberia parishes will come ,ogethe
and form a continuous village.
Gen. Myles will be here a few days onl,
but intends to go throughout the parish an'
into Iberia parish: that is, from one end {
the line to the other, and locate tracks. an
he is doing this here now.

The prospects of applying tie

House are not encouraging The
resolution of Senator PlAtt. of Con

merely a copy of resolutions hereto

since 1850 there have been ninety
seven resolutions introduced to ap-
ply cloture in some way or other to

every one has been discussed anC

Robert En- met.

The Commoner.
The 4,h Of this month was ths
one hundred and twenty third an
niversary of the birth of Rober
Emmett. Compare the worlds at
titude towards Emmett today with
the sentiment which existed when
he paid the penalty Of his dcvot'"n
to Ireland. The change which has
taken place proves that the patriot
may trust his motives to the verd Ct
of history. 1t is true Mat whe''
Robert Emmett went t. the block he
was not without friends, but their
views are better understood and
more respected now. The judge
before whom Emmett was tried in
terrupted him on several occasions
to express regret that Emmett was a
disgrace to decent relatives, but the
victim was devoted to his cause and
the speech which he delivered on
that occasion will live in history
with the best specimens of elo
quence.
Emmet's epitaph has not yet been
written, because his country has
not yet assumed its rightful position
among the nations. But the spiri,
which prompted the sacrifices made
by Emmett, the sentiment and prin-
ciple to which Emmet's life was de.
voted, yet live, and these sentiments,
these principles and this spirit have
been an Inspiration to men who were
struggling in defense Of p"pnla
government.
BY cruel fate Ireland, ALTHOUGH
she has given to the world some .
the truest patriots and some of tn.
strongest pleas in behalf CT -popnea

\ Statesman Passes Away.
New Orleans States.
In t. e death of ex-President Ben
iamin Harrison, which occurred at
his home in indianapolis yesterday, |
the country sustains the loss Of d
statesman and patriot. The l. SIS is
all the more unfortunate when we
consider the dearth of con>erva-
tive statesma n ship and disihtetested
patroitism in the Republican p rrty
today. Ne believe We do not
transsress the bonnds of conserva
tive truth in expressing the opinion
that the three wisest and s"unde>t
statesmen that the republican party
| has produced IN the last few years
have been Harrison, Edmunds and
Reed; and it has been unfortunate
for the country that these three
have been considered out of-date
by the modern leaders who have
pushed themselves to the front dur
ing the past five or six years. AS
| president, Mr.. Harrison gave t"
the country one of the cleanest and
most credi,able administrations in
its history, and retired at the end
of his term carrying with him the
respect and good will OF all true
Americans. In the selection of his
constitutional advisers he demon
straten his conception Of publi'
duty, and surrounded himself with
, cabinet, which in point of fitness

Prudentiars Annual Statement

The annual statement of our great
life insurance companies gives the
real measures Of the strength and pros
pnrity which these institutions have
attained. The twenty-fifth annual
statement of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America shows how mar
velous has been the success of this
comparatively young company. The
statement reflects great credit not only
on the company's management, but
serves in addition as to indication OF
its present popularity with the public
The Prudential has to-day over 4,000,-
600 policies in force, representing a TO-
tai amount OF insurance in force of
over $604 900 900. OF the latter amount
over S249, 900, 600 was written and
placed during the year 1900.
The Prudential paid to its policy
holders during the same ysar over ST.
600 900, which makes a grand total of
almost $4,000 900 paid to beneficiaries
during the last twenty-five years. The
company's assets are over sac, 900, 900,
its surplus over $4,000 000 while its in-
come for 1900 amounted to over $24-
100000. Those who are interested in
