terday morning at five o'clock.
The fire was in the small resi-

the railroad track. When the fire
was discovered it had made consi-
derable headwsy. and the fire de-
pertinent, due to the early hour,
was slow getting to the fire. and

CUTTING US DOWN.
Daily tom.

The question of cutting down
Southern representation in proper
ton to reduced suffrage, appears
to be favored generally by the
northern Democracy and is receiv-
ing more consideration from that
party than from, the Republicans.
The reason for this is not far to
lind. The southern Democracy
have heretofore, by their unan-
unity and concert Of action, con-
trolfed the party convention and
dictated the party policy. They
managed by their numbers to Or
ganize the two last national con-
ventions and to force the adoption
of doctrines which did not meet
the approval of the northern wing
Of the party. They deliberately
'shuhted OF the old stalwsrt Demo-
cratic States of New York, New
Jersey Connecticut and 1diana,
and attached themselves to the
wild and woolly trans Mississippi.
The result Of this course has been
as fatal to party success IS was
the result of the secession Of the
Southern States from the Charles:
ton Convention in 1860. Common
ting on the tendency Of northern
Democrats to bring about . feduc-
ton Of Southern representation
in Congress and in national con.
ventions, the Washington Posi-
says:
IA search of the files Of the
New York World would show 9
sympsthetic leaning toward it moi
livery long ago, and the Chicago
Chronicle presumably speaking
for the Democracy Of the Middle
West, the battle-ground Of pre-
sidsntal campaigns, has stood b,
and for it, and is still "whoopine
il up with an ardor un-sarpasset
by any organ Of the Republican
party. -
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1902-01-04

"Indeed, the Republican press,
with very few exceptions, has tres-
ted the subject with a calmnoss
bordering on indifference. There
has been an almost total absence
of the old brand of sectionalism,
and the general tenor Of Republic
can press comment has not been
bitter, or even unkind, toward the
South.
"But the Chronicle has mani
tested q decidedly acrimonious
spirit towards Democratic breth-
rem in the only soIidly and relia-
bly, Democratic section. It has
laid the blame of the long series
of Democratic disasters at their
door. It has demanded reduc-
ton of representation as the impe.
rative duty of Congress, and has
argued that such a course was the
only way by which the overwhelm.
ing majority of the Democratic
party-the Democrats of the East
the Middle States, the Middle
West. and the far West-codld
have their proper share of inhda
ence in Democratic councils, IA

lection of candidates, and manage.

The Weather And The Crops
Daily Picayune.

OPCiA "a q WON ~ w. l0Sye Do~t
much interest has been felt 10 the
extent of the damage done to the
sugar crop. The cold lasted for a
full week, during all of which time
the temperature was constantly
below the freezing point. As q re-
suit, the cane still standing was
frozen hard, and the cane in wind
rows was more or less frozen, al
though naturally suffering less
than the standing cane.
Fortunately for the planters, the
amount of cane still standing was
comparatively small as even IN
the case Of those plantations where
considerable grinding was yet toI
be done the great bulk OF the
standing cane had been placed in
wiudrows during the slight cold
spell Of November. Since that
time ell energies have been bent
towards grinding the standing
cane, so that the heavy December
freeze found onlya email portion
still uncut
One of the worst results of the
long cold sdell was the almost,
complete stoppage while the freeze
lasted of the mills. This delayed
the closing up of the campaign.
and increased the EXPENSE With
the advent of milder weather,
grinding operations were again sc-
lively resumed, and all time de-
voted to grinding up the frozen
cane before the juice had time to
deteriorate through warmer wealth
err. The decidedly warm weather
of the past week undoubtedly did
much damage TO the cane still re-
naming, but tits not apprehend-
ed that the damage will prove
very important. The experience
to date with the windrowed cane
has led to the belief that that por-
ton of the crop has not suffered
seriously, and while the tonnage
may be somewhat reduced by the
necessity of cutting of more OF
the tops, the saccharine strength
will not be materially reduced.
Despite the many drawbacks
the present grinding season has
developed. the sugar crop prom
