RICE VS. SUGAR.

A special from New Orleans last
week to the Houston Post, gives.
the following piece of news which
will be of interest to the rice and
sugar planters:
"The sugar and rice interests of
Louisisns and Texas have clashed
over the question of reciprocity
with Cuba. The sugar producers
are bitterly opposed to any treaty
with the new Cuban republic which
will admit sugar imported into the
United States from the island at q
lower duty than now paid, while
the rice planters, rice mill. brok-
ers and exporters demand a reci-
procity agreement that will ena-
BILE them to supply the Cubans
with all the rice they import. The
two principal products of Cuba are
sugar and tobacco, and recipro-
city treaty between the United
States and the new government
would necessarily mean a reduc-
tion of the tariff on those articles.
The sugar growers assert that this
spells ruin for their industry, and
they are preparing to fight it to
the last ditch. The rice men claim
that q reciprocity agreement would
enable the American rice produl
GERS to absolutely control the Gu
ban rice trade, that the rice indus
try is as much entitled to govern
ment favors as the sugar planters
that the Cubans are now impor-
ting about 100000 bags Of rice
annually from osher countries and
that if the proposed treaty is ne.
|gotiated it would practically dou'
bic the rios crop of Louisiana and
Texas.

"We are glad to note, that The
Evangeline, was listed as being
the best newspaper published in
the Parish of st. Martin, by the
United States Press Clipping Bu-
reau, of Chicago" "-Evangeline.
1t will be some consolation to
the readers of the Evangeline to
know, now, that they are getting
the best paper of the parish, even
if they were in the doubt of that
fact before. But, its seems to Us.
that the Evangeline should have
informed its readers that cit" was
the only paper in that contest. as
the other papers had refused to
furnish to the Clipping Bureau
free copies to clip from.
The Evangeline is the only pa
per..who furnished the Clipping
Bureau, free, is it wonder that
it is put down as the 'best''?

Edison and Platinum.

A story will serve to throw light up-
on Edison's character. At one time
there was a great fear in the scientific
world that the deposits Of platinum
were about to become extinct. Edison
thereupon organized a correspondence
bureau and sent letters to every Amer
lean consul upon the globe. to British
consuls in ports where the United
States had no representative and to
scientific men in every land, The let
ter gave IL clear statement respecting
the metal, how and where it was found
and might he found. how it could be
identified and treated and much other
Information.
In each letter We're Enclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be n
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membcrcd that the letters were sent
off by the thousands, that the postage
was 10 cents to each letter and that
the pieces of platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold. the
cost of the achievement is readily seen.
While he did not succeed in greatly in
crcasing the output of platinum, he set
at rest all fear of it's extinction and
thus earned the gratitude of every
scientific Observation-Disclosures Leslie's

THEN N NOW.

.tEive full years of experience" said
Mr.. Cummins i'll II of his speeches,
shave approved every statement. veri-
fed every argument and vindicated
every painciple asserted by the repub-
licans." Mr.. Bryan has taken occasion
to point out i'll print that this involves
an error on the part of MIR. Cummins.
1t is to be admitted the statement is
broad 1t would be remarkable if SO
ingenious Il twister as MIR. Bryan could
not frame an answer that would at
least raise IL question of doubt as to
the literal truth of Mr.. Cummins'
statement. A period of five years in
volying two presidential elections and
much of extraordinary happening i'll
the country, is "a long time.
MIR. Bryan goes at once to detail. He
says: Let us take Il glance at the
statements, arguments and principles
asserted by the republican party in
1896" His first assertion is this: "That
leaders of that party asserted that we
did not need more money, and yet to-
day, after five full years of experience
they boast that their party has made
wonderful increase in the volume of
money"
MI. Bryan has. had sufficient prac-
tice in debate to use language with
discrimination and as a medium to
convey thought, but language appears
to be less and less available to him in
these important particulars.
Leaders of the republican party did
not assert in 1886 that the country did
not need more money in the exchanges
p trade and commerce. They did as
eFt that the country was not suffer-
Ring for more money such as Mr..
tfyan proposed.

during our stay a glass Of milk was
brought to me at precisely the same
hour without Instructions, and al.

not appear to understand and contin-
ued to bring it just the same.
"In the hotel were electric bells. The
first day l rang for something, and a
certain boy answered the summons.
The next morning l rang again and
again, and no n responded. Finally
I went into the dining room and found
there half q dozen servants.
"'Didn't you hear my bell ring?' I
asked.
".Si. senor' (ycs, sir), was the reply.
""Then why didn't you answer itY

NEGROES IN WASHINGTON.
Comm en- dnbIC Progress In n business
Way Has Been Made by the
CoIorcd Citizens.

The Union league Of Washington has
Just made an exhaustive inquiry into
the status OF the colortd population
there. II finds that commendahle
progress has been made i'm business,
I'm spite Of good many drawbacks
there being over SO varieties Of bust
ness in which coIored people are en-
gagged. SAYS the Star. There are more
Than 1900 colorrd proprietors. one
fourth of whom have been in business
more than ten years. They give EN-.
ploymput to over 2S.0SO persons. Tn =
have S65i.76t invested in business.
aud they do an aggregate of business
yearly of $1,7iO.O0O. Barber shops.
restaurants, cobbIer shops, express
delivery and similar callings consti-
tutc the larger portion, but there are
II contractors, rs fish dealers, 1870
uruccrs and 40 market stand pro-
priotors. and in all this lot only II
pootroom keepers and nine saloon
keepers. There are 50 physicians, II
trained nurses, ten dentists and 33
lawyers. Among other conclusions
reached by the investigation is that
colored people are not disposed to
patrunize one another in these classes
Of business in which the whites Sc
riously compete for trade. This Is
ascribed partly to lack of confidence,
but partly to envy and jealousy.

SAMOA WITHOUT MINERALS.
wild stories of G0td-Bearing sands
Denied by ConsuI-GcnernI
Osborn.

Consul General Osborne at Samoa
writes to the state department, says a
Washington report:
There have been so many letters Of
inquiry sent to this office concerning
the discovery of gold and other pre-
ciOus metals in these islands that | feel
il my duty 10 report upon the subject.
United states papers have published
statements in regard to The gold-bear-
ing sands Of Samoa, and it appears that
many people have paid for expenses OF
development, etc. have from time to
time made Investigations, and if there
are minerals-either gold. silver. mica.
nickel, zinc. tin, or any other--in these
islands, | have been unable TO find'them
or to find any person who has any
knowledge of the fact. If there is any
gold mining company Of Apia' (as re-
ported in United States papersJ, the
records do not disclose the fact. ana
the officials have no information upon
the subject. No steamers. schooners
or other vessels are engaged in trans
porting sands or ores to Sydney, or to
San Francisco, or elsewhere: no such
persons as those named as Constitut-
ing the 'gold-mining company are
known here, and, in my judgment, ire
mendous swindle is being perpetrated
and the public ought to know the
facts"

ELOOUENCE OF TIE NEGRO.
Notable Example Was That present
ed in the Preaching of Rev.
John Jasper.

Rev. John Jasper represented the
highest type of ignorant eloquence.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly CON
tains an interesting account of the IA
nous old preacher.
There were many other discourses,
says the author, just as good as the
"Sun-do-move" sermon, though not so
well known. In every one he wrought
himself up into pitch that was aston
D>hiug. In preaching one Sunday on
the final triumph of Christ's kingdom
he scared aloft in his imagery. The au-
dience, white and black, were wrought
up to the highest pitch.
AN Death" he said, "whar will
Death be den? Chained-tico fas' to
de golden chariot o de Lawd. He will
be groanin' an stumblin' an fallin'!'
And taking up one foot i'm his hand
with the suppIencss and the activity
of trapeZe dancer he hoped and
hobbled and SPRAYED and fell around
the pulpit until the congregation, run
wild with the perfection of the acting,
almost thought they were in the very
presence Of the chained Death, and the
women shrieked and shouted and the
men rose in their seats and shouted like
wild.
In his speech John Jasper was de-
mandatory and as sarcastic as a man
could be. He roasted his enemies alive.
His strong point was his ability to ridi-
cule his opponents. He could say more
in a cynical grunt or laugh or wave
of his long arm than most men can say
in paragraph.
Jasper could argue all day, if neces-
sary, and none could beat him. He
knew nohine of syllogisms, Of their
premises and their conclusions, but he
proved what he said by stalking upon it
his own character.
"Ef tain so, frien's, go into de high
ways an de byways an de streets an
de hedges an tell ev'ybody you meet
dat John Jasper is a liar!"
