AGE OF ELECTRICITY.
How the Fluid Will Generate Power
for Various Purposes on a Rice
Plantation.

New Orleans Picayune.
Among the guests at the st. Charles
Hotel there is a gentleman from Texas
who has come here ito finance a plan to
from one central power plant. This gen.
tleman Is undertaking now what the
Rushmere Planting and Milling Company
of this city has been figuring on for
several months. The local plan is more
elaborate. however. and the one central
power plant will be made to do great
deal more work than the plan which the
Texas. gentleman has in view.
Mr.. Robert Guerard, Manager OF the
RI shmere Company. a yoar ago, went to
Coleman, Malochee G. Where, the en-
gineers and laid out his plan: The COM
pany has some $500 acres of rice land
and Gueydan, and tbs year was cult
waiting about 2,00e acres most success
fully They have in their tract about
1900 acres of marsh land, and the plan
is to cut a drainage canal across this
property and down to the southern limits
Of the rather unusually formed tract.
This drainage system will be operated
by system of pumps and the lands Will
he irrigated by a system of canals cut
in a scientific manner and supplied by
a system of deep wells
The machinery for operating both the
drainage and irrigation plant will be
operated from electric power generated
in the central power plant. This power
plant will also operate the new rice mill
and the eectric tramway which is to he
built through the plantation to haul the
rice from I Q far limits of the fields to
the mill ard storchouses.
For the first time in the history of rice
planting in Iouisi, ma all the machinery
on the plantation will receive its power
from one central depot, and for the first
time electricity will be used in all
branches of the big estate.
The drainage system will he established
to reclaim several thousand acres of land
which is now looked upon as marsh and
useless. These improvements are expect
ed TO make the RIshmere Plantation the
most complete in the rice section and one
of the largest.

Leader thinks 1t is up to the other pa

other arnusements did they indulge in?
Managing a country weekly and atten1-

IT Is COMING.
Remarks The Charleston Post:

Can II be that the way is clearing for
d return to power in the Democracy and
In the nation of the old Cleveland guard
Is that miracle to proceed from the tariff
situation? 1t is not utterly beyond posi-
bility.
ut is a long lane that has no turning"
we are assured, and We feel confide ut
that the Democracy Of the Union has fol-
lowed the broad road that leads to po-
litical destruction as long as any party
could be expected to follow 1t.
1t Is very true that some of the States
in their recent platforms have endorsed
the Kansas City and Chicago platforms
after fashion, and some have endorsed
them in toto, but the enthusiastic en-
bracing of Bryan of six years ago, or
even of two years ago, is now conspicuous
by its absence. Going Wild over free
coinage and other ,fallacies Is no longer
the fad, and even Democrats are not dis
posed to follow an out-of-date fashion.
especially If 1t is both questionable and
improbable to follow it.
Just what will be the leading issue for
the Democrats two years hence may not
be predicted with certainty. but nothing
in the future OF politics is more appar-
ent to our mind than that the paramount
issue will not be free silver or anything
approaching it, Nothing that smells of
it can unite the Democracy in 1904. AS
we'll try to elect President or Con-
gress on the Ocala platform.
What The Post calls 'the old Cleve-
land guard Is composed of those Demo-
Gratis who have never departed from the
true Democratic faith in their hearts.
however much they may have been forced
to bow to the inevitable for the time
being. They are the men who must Sc
cure the reincarnation or rehabilitation
of Democracy. They must set it back
on its old foundation and guard it against
its enemies, as the only hope Of the peo-
ple against the ruinous rae of Repub-
lican politics. The old Democracy and
the old guard can save the party and In
no other way can it be saved.

publicans are basing all their hopes OF
success upon men who supported Bryan
in 1896, but who while accepting the plat
form that year did not give up their ale

they will meet with grievous disappoint-

The truth is that the Newport set is
made up of silly, jaded people with no
resources in themselves. who are eager
in their quest for new sensation. They
mean no wrong because they do not mean
anything. The trouble with them is not
that they live Vicious Ives. but that they
do not know what morality means. We
have no doubt that a sensational press
exaggerates their misdoings, but it is i'm
possible to eXaggerate their lack of
stability or their failure to appreciate the
responsibility that rests on them.

THE FIRST ICE CREAM.

Experiences of Early Experiments
With Delcacy Now Common.
New York Sun: Mrs. Alexander Hamil-
ton had the first ice cream in the city of
Washington. She used to tell with amuse-
ment of the delight with which President
Andrew Jackson first tasted it.
Guests at the next White House recep-
ton were treated to the frozen mystery,
and great was the fun of the initiated
when they saw the reluctance OF others
to taste the cold stuff.
Those from the rural districts especially
first eyed it suspicously, then melted each
spoonful with the breath before swallow
ing it. The next time they had chance
they ate it with delight.
The LAY Senator John NJ. Palmer used
to tell alb I the first time ice cream was
served inN ringtield, the capital OF Hi
nois. AT az evening party it was passed
around in small saucers.
had got little salt in the cream, and as
no one had tasted it before, it was thought
to be the proper flavor. An old states
man, when asked how he liked the new
dish, said:
I'D like it better if it were either sweet
or salty, but l don't think the mixture
is very appetizing."
Imagine the feelings of the poor hostess
when she discovered that her much
vaunted new dessert had been fun of salt
and no one knew enough to tell her of the
accident.
