No better evidence of the decided sentf-
ment that permeates this state in favor
of education can be furnished than the in
cident which occurred at Natchitoches a
few days since. Some years ago the state
established a normal school in that town
for the purpose OF. educating teachers to
take charge of the public schools of the
state. New buildings have been erected
by the state from time to time as the needs
of the institution required them. but the
rapid growth of the school has gone beyond
the capacity of the appropriations made by
the state. At the last session of the legiS-
lature an increased appropriation was given
this important school. and such as 1t was
thought would be sufficient to meet the de-
mands until the legislature should again
assemble. But when the Normal School
opened it's present session a few weeks
since it was found that the applcati tions
were so numerous that it was impossible
to accommodate all those who desired to
halls and reception rooms, but still the stu
dents continued to come and overtaxed
every provision that could be made for
their accommodation. In this dilemma
President Caldwell, the able head of the
institution, called a meeting of the citizens
of Natchitoches and laid the matter before
them, with a statement that with $4,000
he would be able to erect a building ade-
quate to the needs of the institution. Be-
fore the meeting adjourned more than
$4,000 was subscribed and arrangements
We're made to begin the new dormitory

CITY OWNERSHIP.
Municipal Control of Public Utilities
i'm Edinburgh.

From the Chicago Record Herald
Mr.. Adolph Nathan went to Edinburgh TO
study the experiments in municipal owner
ship there, and was not captivated by what
he learned. He says that If gas is sold at
20 cents a thousand wages are correspond
irgly low, and so are the prices of other
commodities. The intimation is that 81 a
thousand in American cities is no greater
burden, and Mr.. Nathan shows besides
that the municipality gets a very small in
terest on its investment. With regard to
the street cars, he found that 2-cent. fare
cents TO ride six miles. There are lines in
Chicago upon which passengers can ride
eight or nine miles for ) cents, though
generally the fare is doubled before that
distance is reached. However a graded
fare is not seriously proposed here, and,
owing to the rapid growth of the outlying
districts, 1T is not likely to be.
Besides the street railway and gas sys-
TENS Edinburgh owns its electric lighting
and water systems, and has erected public
be tbs, wash houses and artisans DWELL
ings. Its activities are much like those of
Glasgow, though not so extensive and in
both cities the question of profits is COM
plicated by interest charges and annuities.
Thus we find in the case of the Edinburgh
gas system the following statement
"1iotai capital expenditure up to May,
1900 fS47, ,061: receipts for the year from
10th May, 1899, TO 18th May, 1900 f291 225

taxes, rates, pensions. etc, f16.3Gs. The
gross profit was f69. 45S. out of which there
was paid in annuities and interest f4s4I3"
At the present stage the municipal cor
porations are paying heavy sums for bor-
rowed capital and to meet sinking fund
requirements. They are not getting large
returns for their investments, and the more
they expand the more capital they must
borrow. Much of the venture is so clearly
In the experimental stage, and IL has al
ready developed so many doubtful points,
that cities which have not made the plunge
car well afford to wait until the demon-
stratfon is more complete.

is almost impossible to go. The cane is full
of juice and contains large percentage of
sugar. For time great part of the pro-
duct was raised on the government planta-
tions, but about ten years ago such culti-
walton was stopped. Now all sugar is
raised on lands leased from the govern
ment and on private estates. The govern
ment estates have steadily decreased, and
in 1898 there were less than 200 of them.
Many of the large sugar factories were
developed through the culture system. The
government advanced money to coIonists to
buld sugar mills, agreeing that the natives
of the districts where the mills were built
should be forced to grow enough sugar
cane to keep the mills going. One-ffth of
the land was planted in sugar cane and
every native had to give one days labor
week to tend the crop. The mill owner
agreed to sell one-third of his product to
the government at a low fixed rate, thus
paying back the money advanced to him.
Holland made an enormous profit out of
this business, receiving for years a revenue
of more than $5.oo0.00 annually from its
sugar sales. 1t insisted that all plans for
factories should be submitted to the gov
ernment engineers for approval, and The re-
suit is that sugar making is carried on as
scientifically here as at any place in the
world. The low wages and the machinery
reduce the cost of the product to mini
mum. AS it is now they make refined su-
gar for about s160 gold a picul, or for a
little more than cent per pound.
Our sugar lands in the Philippines are

Nevertheless the planters make money. If
the Agricultural Department can establish
experimental stations and factories it
can probably show the sugar men how to
increase their profits tenfold
Indigo for the Philippines.
I should think that indigo could be grown
at profit on almost every one of the
