Our manufacturers and merchants
are beginning to realize that they have
been neglecting the trade of Mexico
and of Central and South American
states too long. In our dispatches yes
terday the plans they are making for
capturing this trade were outlined.
They have known for a long time Just
what they must do in order to get it,
but for some reason or other they will
not do il. 1t has been stated time and
time again that they must pack their
goods just as the merchants of those
countries want them packed, and must
give the credits which the nanufac-
turers and merchants of Europe give.
1t is our understanding that up to this
time our manufacturers and merchants
will do neither of these things, pre-
ferring to follow their own ideas in
the matter. If they are in earnest now,
it is probable they viii go about cap
turing this trade to the south of us
in the right way. There is no good
reason why they should not have had
it half a century ago. Steamship lines
would not be OF much assistance to
them unless they comply with the re-
suirements TO which we call attention.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger (Rep.) finds
in the reports of the banquet of the
Democratic Club of New York "abun-
dant evidence that the Democrats in
the Empire State are burying their
differences, and it is undeniable that a
united Democracy in New York means
formidable opposition to the Repub-
lican organization"
The Richmond Dispatch COM
menting on Depew amendment
to the resolution providing for the
election of senators by popular vote,
says: 1T seemed to be generally con-
ceded that Senator Depew gave evil
dence of desire to arouse sectional
feeling again. and he Is being ridi-
culed on the one hand, and admonish-
ed on the other, that he would better
shut UP. Some of the papers that have
been counted among his warmest adj
mirers are not hesitating to tell him
frankly that in his remarks in support
of his proposition, and his useless and
thankless effort to stir up the Con-
federate brigadiers,' he made a most
dnenviable spectacle Of himself"
The Philadelphia Times Qnd.) speak
ing Of the action of the House in TAX
ing the differential off of sugar. says:
THE surprising action of the House
of Representatives upon the Cuban
tariff bill is of political rather than of
practical significance. 1t emphasizes
the widening differences among the
Republicans upon economic questions
and shows the Democrats capable Of
united and effective action. The re-
moval Of the differential duty upon
sugar though carried by the votes of
- - 81 ,.f
protectionists, is distinctly with the
advantage given to the refners by
the Dingley tariff and puts the sugar
duty on a purely revenue basis. IL Is
the first breach that has been made in
the tariff wall"

Senator Depew recently received
from a small town in Indiana a letter
requesting him to eoncoet fifty original
Jokes for an amateur minstrel show TO
be given by a church society. Mr.. De-
pew was advised that In payment for
his services the promoters Of the show
would print his name on the pro-
gramme as the author OF the jokes.

II is said that the President doesn't
like Gen. Chaffee's plan of sending an
army against the Moros in Mindanao.
The Moros are Moslems and a re-
ligious war would be both expensive
and troublesome. The Moros are bad
men to bother with. During the Span
ish regime they did about as they
pleased and they seem inclined to con-
tinue that programme.

II John w. Gates is vain man,
and likes to see himself in print he
ought TO be happy. Since his raid on
the shares of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railway he has occupied more
space in the newspapers than any
other man in the country. The space
writer's have hunted up about every
important event in his somewhat re-
markable career, and turned it into a
news item. If he needs inspiration for
another raid in Wall street the news
papers are doing their best to furnish
him with it.

The Philadelphia papers call atten-
ton to the fact that on Saturday, in
that city there was a decline in the
Wholesale prices of meats, that ranged
all the way from half cent to a cent
and half pound. If the high prices
are due to the high prices of cattle,
and not to an agreement between the
packers, 1t would seem as if the prices
of cattle would have to decline before
there was decline in the prices of
meats. We have not seen it stated,
that there has been a decline in the
prices of cattle. The packers put out
a statement a day of two ago showing
that the prices of cattle have advanced
very considerably within the last few
months. We have not seen a denial,
however, of the statement that the
trust sells meats at lower prices in
Europe than in this country.

COMMISSIONERS WARE.

Eugene r. ware OF Kansas, the new
Commissioner of Pensions, is under
keen scrutiny. Gen. Evans of Tennes-
see, his predecessor in the office made
such an excellent record that the
country wants to know something of
the man who comes after him. and
measuring up to Evans size. So far
there has been very little developed
upon which to hang a prediction,
though there is an opinion abroad that
Commissioner Ware will not be re-
versed by the Interior Department and
Congress as often as Commissioner
Evans was; in other words, that Conn
missioner Ware will not be such
strict cOnstructionist as Commissioner
Evans was.
1t has been brought out, however,
that Mr.. Ware is lone of them lit'ry
felIers," poet of the breezy sort that
might be expected to flourish on the
prairies of Kansas. For number of
years he has been contributing poems
to the newspapers and magazines, un-
der the pen-name of "Ironquill," and it
is alleged of him that he was the first
person to perpetrate a pun on the
name of Dewey after the battle of Ma
Mia Bay. The poem with the pun was
recited by Nebraska school boy. 1t
came very near getting him thrash
| ing, because the teacher said it was
undignified. Here it is:
oh, Dewey was the morning
That Dewey first of May
And Dewey was the Admiral
Down in Manila Bay.
And Dewey are the Regents orbs,
Those eyes of heavenly blue,
And Dewey fell discouraged?
We Dew not think we Dew.
The poem that made "Ironquill'' ia
NOUS. however, was based upon an in
cident Of the Russo Turkish war. and
| it's publication placed his name at
once upon every Kansas tongue. I'm
der the title. THE Siege of Djlkprw-
bez," the bard sang thus:
Before Turkish town
The Russians came,
| And with huge cannon
Did lombard the same.
They got up close
/
| And blew out every
! Vowel in the town.
And then the Turks.
Becoming somewhat sad,
Surrendered every
Consonant they had.
So far as the information goes. Mr.
Wares poems have never gotten him
into serious trouble, but one of them
once kept him out of Congress. He
was candidate before the convention
in opposition of Funston, the father of
Fred. Ware had practically votes
enough to nominate, and was feeling
good. Then there fell a bombshell into
his camp, and when the smoke had
cleared away "the subsequent proceed
ings interested him no more" A dea-
con with long whiskers and long hair,
who controlled his delegation, an
nounced in the convention that IT had
been brought to his attention that
Ware was a free-thinker. a scoffer in
fact an infdel Asked to prove his as
sertion. the whiskered gentleman read
aloud the following stanza in one of
Wares poems:
For / don't believe a thing
OF the stories that are told
OF the miracles of old.
That settled it. The stampede of the
Ware forces was instantaneous. and
Funston won in easy time The Kan
sans wouldn't stand for such sacrilege

Philadelphia is crying out against
the reckless increase in her debt. 1t
is stated in one of her newspapers that
the increase. since the present mayor
came into office. is over $50, 900. 600. At
that rate before many years before
the city would be a bankrupt cor
poration. In almost every city the main
idea of those who get into power seems
to be to find ways to spend money.
That is a wise provision in the consti-
buttons of many states which limits
the amount of bonds which cities, with
in their limits, may issue. If ii were
not for it there would be more bank
rupt cities than there are.

the Counts idea to punish the United
States for putting high duties on ar
ticles which Germany has to sell and
does sell to the United States. What
the Count wants evidently is a, tariff

bable that the United States could hold
their own, They produce enough to
feed their people and Germany doesn't.

MORE OIL NEWS.

The oil prospects of this parish
are so vast, extensive and promis-
sing that our people are deeply
and very seriously concerned in
the progress that is being made in
the different sections that are now
being explored.
Three wells are being drilled in
the swamp regions. and all three
struck some oil, but there some of
them struck rock of such thick
ness and hardness that the drillers
we're compelled to change places,
and the last reports were that the
three companies were hard at
work, and all were very confident
of success.
The derrick is erected on the
Stailey -Satterfield place, mile
west of st. Martinville, and the
machinery is expected to arrive
every day and as soon as possible,
drilling will commence.
From the Anse-la-Butte field,
we take the following from the
Times-Democrat:
