St. Louis, Aug. 10.-No man

of pretty girl to kiss him. Ac-
cording to a decision just rendered
by Judge Geo. B. Sidener of this

Harry Alberts, who belongs to

neighborhood of his home con-
spired to bring about a change.
Miss Mamie Mitchell, was detailed
to wait near a corner where Albert
would pass on his way home. AS
he lifted his hat she threw her
arms around his neck and planted
a kiss on his cheek. Albert replied
with blow from his fist which
discolored Miss MitchelPs pretty
face. He was arrested and in i'm

DR.. HQrfer''S
Iron Tonic

Gaussiran's cane cutting ma
chine has been so considerably i'm
proved and made so perfect that
their use has become universal
with the planters not only of st.
Mary, but other parishes as we'll
throughout the sugar district. Mr..
August Lesseps, who was manager
at Adeline for a number of years,
being now in charge Of the Poplar
Grove plantation, in West Baton
Rouge parish, has sent orders here
for these machines to be shipped to
that place. AS Mr.. Lesseps is a
practical planter. of wide expe-
rience and much success, his ap-
proval, by purchase, is worth much
by way of recommendation.
As labor has gotten to be such
scarce article, the planters are
forced to adopt the higher grade
of labor saving machines, in order
to save their crops, and as this is
one among the best, no doubt, that
the maker will be deluged with Or
ders before the season grows much
Older.-V dtchman.

POLITICS AND THE COAL STRIKE.

The carefully devised plan of
Senators Quay and Penrose to
make political capital ont of the
strike 0f the coal miners has come
to grief, President Baer Of the
Reading Railroad says the alleged
appointment of ttuuy and PtnroSe
to confer with him and John Nit
chell, president Of the United Mine
Workers, us politics and simply
political talk, and he intends to see
that politics and coal shall be kept
separate and distinct y Quay had
set up the pins to make political
capital because Governor Pattison
had called out the State troops on
the requisition of the sheriff Of AL
legheny county in 1892, but the
scheme did not pan out we'll, for
the reason that his State admins
tration has done precisely the same
thing within the last three weeks
in the anthracite region, and was
justified in 50 doing.
The governors in both cases dis
charged the duty imposed upon
them by the constitution and the
laws, and if they had failed in this
duty they would have been justly
amenable to censure. Politics has
no place when it comes to the ques-
ton of maintaining the public
peace and protecting life aud prop
erty. That is the highest duty i'm
posed on the governor of State,
and he must discharge it without
fear or favor. Therefore, politics
and political considerations should
be ignored entirely when the ques-
ton at issue relates to law and
order and the maintenance Of the
public peace.
Senator Quay is reported as
much aggrieved at President Baer's
definition of the strike play as
politics and nothing else, but,
nevertheless, it was a fact, as the
whole country understands. Quay
and Penrose find themselves badly
in need of votes, the former for his
candidate for governor and the lat
ter in the legislature, which he
hopes will re- elect him to the
United States Senate. These two
worthless have no scruples as to the
means of getting votes, and they
will not hesitate to delude the Goa
miners or resort to false registra
ton in Philadelphia.-States.

We quote from the Sugar
Planter:
"Many insane people are con-
fined in the parish jails throughout
Louisiana because the asylum at
jackson is over-crowded. This
ugly condition will be relieved
when the asylum for colored peo-
pie is constructed, as projected by
the last Legislature. Calling at
tention to the subject, the Alex
andria Town Talk utters this note
worthy truth: "The great in
crease of insanity in this State,
both white and colored, proves that
there is something radically wrong
in the present mode of living. Toe
much liquor, or liquors Of bad
quality; cocaine and morphine
aud the nervous excitement Of the
twentieth century, are the cause.
of the great increase of insanity

IMPORTING STRUCTURAL. STEEL.

1t Is given out that for Il long
time the American manufacturers
have been unable to supply the de
maud for structural steel, and that
it is being imported from Europe
tor numerous large buildings that
are III course Of being erected.
According to reports, officials of
the Steel Trust account for the
situation by saying that the short
age is due to Il lack of coal and
scarcity Of coke caused by the con
gestion in the freight traffic and
the fact that coal used in making
coke is being sold IN the open mar
ket to consumers. When, how
ever, the independent manufactu-
rers are questioned, they say that
the Steel Trust is only keeping up
the prices Of steel billetS, so that
the outsiders who manufacture the
structural beams and posts, but do
not make steel and have to buy the
bilIets, cannot do the work at pres
ent prices Of billets.
If this be true, it is a dogin-the-
manger policy which allows for
eiguers to come into our market
and undersell our manufacturers
But then everything is for the
benefit Of the trusts, nor even eX-
cepting the Government itself,

DEBT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

"There is no question but that "a
very large majority of the people
favor Cuban reciprocity as pro-
posed by the majority of the ways
and means committee, ard errone-
ously termed 'the presidents pol
icy,'' said Representative Eddy of
Minnesota to-day: "Although l
do not agree with the public in this
matter, any other statement would
be a perversion of facts. The
public is of the opinion that we
'owe something to Cuba that this
proposition would benefit the Gu
ban planter, that it is inimical to
the interests of the sugar trust and
that it originated with the pres
ident. Holding these opinions,
the people, following the lead of
certain papers, have dubbed those
who opposed the scheme 'insur-
gents and think their opposition
is based either upon corrupt mo-
tives or through ignorance. Pub
lie opinion is generally right and,
as rule, it is safer for a legislator
to follow the we'll considered Opin-
ion of majority of his fellow
citizens than that of the wisest
statesman. Sometimes, however,
such opinion is based on passion,
mistake or sentiment, and when
such is the case it goes wrong and
awfully wrong, and when legis-
lator believes this to be true and
bows to the blast instead of resO-
lutely performing what he believes
to be his duty and earnestly en-
deavoring to correctly point out
the errors on which such opinion is
formed and patiently waiting for
time to vindicate him, he is un-
worthy to represent any constitu.
ency.
II am one of those who do moi
think we owe Cuba anything, NOR
ally, politically or financially. W.
spent hundreds of millions Of dol
lars and drenched her soil with ou1
best and bravest blood to give bel
independence, and she is now inde
pendent. Her people possess th'
most favorable natural resources
in the world. Why should w
now contribute to her finances
Cuba owes US moral and financia
debt she can never pay and we ar
generous enough to never ask O
expect such payment, but the ide
that we are Cuba's debtor is alb
= surd. No advocate of this PROPOSE
ton has been able to show how tn
people of Cuba, or of the Unite
States, outside of few intereste
parties, would ever receive do
lars benefit. The sugar trus
would be relieved Of Sc, 200, 90
duty on their imports of raw sugar
but that they would donate this
the Cuban planter or America
consumer unless compelled to, is
/. palpable absurdity, and that sue
compulsion is impossible is sci
!, evident.
