RURAL ELECTRIC LINES.

The correspondent of the Daily
States at Baton Rouge writes the
following to his paper:
Congressman Broussard, at
the request of the parochial affairs
committee, has drawn a substitute
for the Marrero bill looking to the
granting of authority to police
jurles to give street railways the
privilege of running over the pub
lie roads. 1t will be remembered
that General f. f. Myles and
friends, having projected an elec-
tric road in the Teche section and
having secured grants over the
public roads of the parishes. they
desire to operate IN, were preparing
to carry their enterprise into effect
when the Supreme Court intervened
and declared that police jures were
incompetent to grant such fran
chises.
"Mr. BtOussard has taken those
sections of the city charter of New
Orleans which refer to the sale of
franchises for street railroads as
the basis of his substitute. If it is
passed it will not only clear the
way for the building of the Monte
gut electric line and the New Iberia
Morgan City line, but it will pro-
vide means for the disposal OF
similar franchises such as will
enable the various parishes to
share in the prosperity of electric
railway enterprises. The bill
gives the right to the police juries
to dispose of the franchises at
public auction for percentage of
the gross receipts of the lines
which acquire them. When an
enterprise is projected the abutting
property-holders will address a
petition to the police jury setting
forth their desire for the sale of
the franchise, the length of time it
shall run, the advertising, the
point of sale, etc. Provision is
made for the sale at one time OF
the roads that are to be run through
several parishes. All the expenses
of getting up petitions, the cost of
advertising, ETC., are, as IN the
city, to be borne by the parties to
whom the franchise may be dedi-
Gated. Provision is also made for
the inspection of the books of COM
panies or corporations which Sc
cure franchises.
"While the legislation is espec-
tally desired at this session to
facilitate the carrying out Of two
large enterprises projected for
southwestern Louisiana, the act
has an interest for the whole
State, since with the present de-
mand for the development OF
transportation lines into rural
communities there will doubtless
be many similar projects launched
in different parts of Louisiana in
the next ten or fifteen years.
"The bill will be submitted to
the parochial affairs committee at
its next meeting. 1t will probably
be introduced in both houses early
this week.

BATSON WILL GET A NEW TRIAL.

Batson, the man accused Of mur-
dering the Earl family, near Welch
in Calcasieu parish has got new
lease of life by the Supreme Court
of Louisiana granting him q new
trial. He was tried at Lake Charles
and found guilty of murder and
sentenced to be hung. The prin-
cipal bill Of exceptions taken by
his attorneys at the trial before the
lower Court was that the indict-
ment charged Batson with murder
ing all the family at specified
time and place, whereas it was
brought out in the evidence that
the Earls were murdered at differ
ent times and places. The Supreme
Court ruled that the indictments
should have been separated.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL'S APPEAL

President Mitchell, the head OF
the striking miners, is following
the coal operators doggedly, and
issuing appeals to the American
people based on the facts Of the
situation.
He declares that the anthracite
miners, numbering 147, 500 men,
are employed not over 200 days in
any ono year and receive an aver.
age of $l.42 day for ten hours
service.
No man will say that this is toe
much for the decent support OF
family, especially at this time wher
the cost of living has been advanced
over 32 percent.
The operators say that they can
not afford to advance wages with
ont taxing the public In the price
of coal. Yet these men who are
so anxious for the public veal have
already raised the price Of coal 81
a ton since the strike began with
out giving any part of this increase
to the mine workers.
In thus making his appeal to the
public President Michell knows
where the winning is ultimately J
located. Should universal strike
of coal miners be the last resort OF
July II, the people will not be un
informed as to the points at Issue

CANALS.

The following list Of canals draw
ing water from Bayou Teche will
be a revelation to most of our cltl-
zens, the list and acreage has been
compiled by Mr.. l.. Waggoner,
who is identified with the rice IN
dustry of the parish and is one OF
the efficient assistants OF the New
Iberia Milling & Development Co.
Of this city. The list of course
does not include the acreage by
wells which will swell the aggre-
gate considerably, the condition of
this crop is very hattering showing
that our supply of water is sweet,
fresh. and reliable, and notwith-
standing the long spell Of dry
weather which is destroying the
crop in other sections, the per cent
of depreciation is very small:

PALMA AND THE NEGRO

President Palma of Cuba has
come out very plainly in dealing
with the Grace question: which
seems to be in Cuba as well as with
ourselves. Colored men must not
look for political preferment at his
hands until they demonstrate Their
capabilities. Under Spanish rule
the education of the blacks was
wholly neglected and the race in
the islands today is overwhelmed
in dense ignorance. President
Palma is wise enough to see that
no matter how altruistic or sentl,
mental he may be that his duty as
president of the island compels
him to adopt such measures as will
rebound to the best interests of the
people.
In this President Palma will
arouse the anger of the long range
philanthropists of the East. who
are strong on theory and short on
political knowledge. They will
quote the Declaration of lndepend.
ence and remind him that all men
are created free and equal. All tc
no purpose. President Palma
knows what is best and wisest.
That distinguished soldier OF
fortune, Gen. Gomez, will not OBJ
ject, in spite of the fact that the
negroes are his chief supporters
and followers. He is comfortably
provided for and he cares little
what becomes of the rest.
When we reflect that the negroes
of the island have been nominally
free for many years and that they
are not so very far below th'
whites in intelligence, President
Palma's course will appear th'
more strange; but it will be en-
dorsed by all who have the knowl
edge of conditions which will Ell
able them to see things in thei
true light. And in this light tn
monstrous folly the stnpendou
crime committed by the Republican
party in enfranchising slaves wh'
knew nothing of freedom, and il
DISTINGUISHING their former mas
ters, will appear in all the create
hideOusness.
Time is a great teacher as wei
as great healer, and those VIII
sought to submerge a superior race
under an inferior race will discove
their error whether they will b.
honest enough to admit it or not

LAST SNUFF -TAkER.

On either side of the United
States senate chamber is an ancient
snuff box-one for republicans and
one for democrats. The boxes are
Il survival Of the old-t habit of
snuff taking, which was almost
universal in the Eighteenth cen
tury among persons of fashion and
public men. The habit persisted
well through the first half of the
Nineteenth century, but during the
past fifty years snuff has gone out
of style. The senate boxes, how
ever, remain, and it appears that
they are kept filled. Are they
used by any of the senatorsf A
Washington paper recently noted
that Senator Vest of Missouri and
Senator Harris of Kansas, who
formerly used the boxes occasion
ally, have broken off the habit, and
that the venerable Senator Pettus
of Alabama is now their solitary
patron. He is the last of the
snuff takers in that historic body.
every now and then he goes to
Que of the black ebony boxes
and, taking a pinch, snuffs it.
Then an expansive smile spreads
over his face, and with a look of
thorough enjoyment, he sneezes.
Senator Pettus, being well over 80
years of age, came honestly by the
snuff habit, since he was taught
the grand manners of the old
school of the Southern statesmen
in vogue sixty yeas ago. Doubtless
he and the antique snuff boxes 60
we'll together, for they make the
past live again. The rise and fall
of the snuff habit would make in
teresting material for study in
social manners the past 300 or 400
years. In Queen Anne's time
every gentleman had his snuff box,
which was often beautiful piece
of workmanship. Among the
high-born ladies, too, snuff was
much in use. In the older diplO-
macy the stuff played great role,
Talleyrand finding it quite indis-
pensable, since he could always
make pause in a conversation and
gain time for thought by Offering
his snuff box to his caller or his
antagonist. In our own time the
snuff habit has been largely left to
old men or women in humble
walks Of life, and its gradual dis
use seems accomplished.
