parted on a long visit to her iance's

absence which made Kitty Dynevor re-
member the pretty girl at Mrs. Tan

her. She missed Helen very much.
There was cloud on the Uplands.
Kitty, who was still treated as '*the

anxiety must be kept as long as pos
slble, was not allowed to know that
Eustace Lindon now held the mort
gage on their home; but she could not

too well to ask questions, and, decid-
ing little company would be good
for them all, she strolled over to East
hlll-on-Sea about fortnight after the
fete, called at Woodlands, and asked
to see Mrs. Tanner.
Kitty was impulsive in all things.
She detested the Wilmots, but she was
ready to believe Beryl that Mrs. Tan

felt she could hardly hope to see much

Letth Building Great Docks.

Leith, Scotland, will become port
of some capacity and trade two years
hence. A suite of docks is in construc-
ton there, which is to cost between
100000 pounds and 100000 pounds
more than was estimated when the
Leith dock =, commissioners launched
their program. In 1896 seventy-five
acres of. the foreshore were reclaimed;
and the dock now near completion is
1900 feet long, with a width of $50
feet for 100. feet of it's length and
2So feet for the remainder. The dock
walls are forty-four feet high, and
there are to be two pairs of steel gates,
each weighing close, upon 300 tons. To
this 'equipmenteit has been resolved to
add a. craving dock 500 feet long. :

CANAL. PROJECT ASSURED.

We are pleased to announce to
our readers that the controversies
which have characterized the dis
cussious of the matter of drainage
has at last been happily settled by
the opposing factions uniting IN
plan acceptable to both, a plan that
all have agreed to support with
vigor and industry. This happy
solution of the question was
brought about by mutual conces-
sions of the parties headed by the
Hon. Walter ]. Burke and Con
gresham r. f. Broussard. who
will now work for the completion
of common object, "A canal which
shall be competent to drain the vast
number of acres through which 1t
passes as well rs to afford commu-
nication with the Gulf coast by
small vessels and craft of light bur
den of all kinds. Few people per
haps have thought of the great val
he of such a public work. 1t not
only gives drainage to thousands
of acres of land reclalmlng them to
agriculture, but it gives that condl-
ton to health that only we'll drained
communities possess.
1t will also build up a commerce
with this town that cannot be cal
culated, innumerable schooners,
luggers aud gasoline boats will run
to the coast and return laden with
oysters, fish, shrimp and game.
The route will Of itself develop bus
mess of a nature that we don't
think of now, but circumstances
will develop. Then the pleasure
parties, the excursions to the gulf
resorts will be no small business
aud will bring people here to spend
the winters to 60 fishing hunting
aud sailing. This canal will be the
means of developing many things.
One we think Of now is modern
hotel Of ample proportions, IN an
ideal location, such as this town af
fords in abundance, and which
could make New Iberia famous all
over the nation, as pleasure place
to come from the billiards. and bone
freezing winds of the north and
west. Let all our citizens throw
off all apathy and Indifference aud
work by voice aud vote for this
great public work which will one
day be a monument to the wisdom,
enterprise and sagacity Of lberians.

JOHNSON FOR PRESIDENT.

William Jennings Bryan has de-
clared for Tom l.. Johnson. of
Ohio, for presidential nominee of
the democracy next time.
The Commoner thus has made
the choice whom Harlequin selected
two years ago.
The democrats in the national
legislature, however, are growing
entirely too "chesty" over the har-
mony prevailing in their ranks and
the bad breaks of the Toothed
Wonder and his party, to think of
allowing choice out of that body
if they can help it.
Yet, Johnson is pre- eminently
the man to win. He has the con-
fidence of the capitalistic class and
his sympathies with the great pro-
ducing element-the poor-have
always been so pronounced, so gen.
uine, so manful aud so effective
that he would receive there the
stoutest support.
Whether or not the Toothed
Wonder can obtain the nomination
of his party in the next convention
is extremely uncertain. In his
spectacular and erratic scramble
for it, he has emasculated all that
was real in his character, and in.
stead Of a strenuous man who went
direct for such results as he consi-
dered good regardless of conse.
quences to himself, he appears to
the imagination now as a grinning
jumping-jack doing forever the
nonsensical thing at hand to keep
public opinion proddled and focus
sed upon him. He has degene-
rated into a sort of Boulauger idol
Of the clacqners. It is hardly pos
sible that he will be re-nominated
in spite Of his most strenuous eff
forts, but should he be, it would
be all the better for the democracy.
Before Tom l.. Johnson he would
go down like an autumn fig-leaf in
a gale. This massive American,
without ostentation or obtrusiveness
has singularly impressed himself
upon the nation. He has the
single mindedness Of Henry George
and all his marvellous keenness and
accuracy Of logic. His utter can
dor, which seems incapable of guile
or selfish motive, has often pro-
voked him to show the weak points
Of his own side aud SO he has come

peatedly taken sides against his

THE OLD JAIL BUILDING.

Mr.. Editor-There is a current
rumor that the Police Jury intends
to demolish the old jail Could
not the City Council make arrange
ments with the parish officials and
secure the building for the use of
the city, as it is very essential that
a town of this Importance (the
fourth in the State) should have a
decent place to contine violators of
city ordinancesa 1t is a well
known fact that the present dirty
howell is not fit place to confine
prisoners. No doubt in many in
stances in the past, persons who
deserved to go to jail for their
drunken and boisterous conduct on
the public streets were not sent
there, as the officials did not have
the heart to consign any one who
ever had decent raising in this
lousy chamber of filth now used by
the city. The consequence was that
the chronic violators who had the
misfortune of getting in there, ac
cused the officials of discrimination
aud Partially.
When the parish of Iberia was
created in 1868, the corporation
had small Jail, although, con
structed ont of wood, was very
secure in holding the prisoners in
carcerated therein. The new parish
being without Jail, the corpora
ton rendered the use of their Jail,
without cost, which, the parish
used for over ten years. Now, that
the parish is in healthy and pros
porous condition, they can afford to
be liberal and reciprocate.
We would advise the City Coun-
Gil to confer with the Police Jury
and secure the old Jail for the use
of the town. A lease (say of ten
years., might be obtained from
the Police Jury at a reasonable
annual rent, that the Jury would
see fit to fix. The Jail is in the
exact place to accommodate the town
in the impartial execution and en-
forcement of her municipal ordi-
nances. The unsightly plank
fence could be torn down, the Jail
kept in firstclass order, and made
a suitable place to consign with
impartialitv any violator of munich
pal laws, without the stigma of
humiliation attached to it now.
There is a human law, and a
just one, against cruelty to ami
mails. Men are more than animals.
We should be more human in our
dealings with our unfortunate
brothers, who through the frailties
and foibles of their weak natures,
fall from grace aud subject them
selves to the penalty of the law,
Let us at least provide for these
fallen brothers in their misfortune,
a place, (although in jaiD, where
they can, at least, draw their
breath outside of the contaminated
and foul atmosphere that is closet
ed up in the present chamber of
corruption.
