CARING FOR DESTITUTE NEG ROES.

The colored members of the Ex-
Slave Association are undertaking
the laudable work of caring for the
destitute of their race. Among
other projects it is the purpose of
these people to establish an Old
Folks and Orphan Home. Mrs.
May Williams, a moving spirit in
the work, quite recently took
charge of man sick with pneumo-
MIA who had been left to die in an
empty house. She secured bedding
and money with which to care for
the sick man. DR.. McVea is the
physician selected by the society.
Two active members are Mrs. Mary
Moore and Della Brazelle.
This is a capitol idea and one
which the colored people Of this
community ought to adopt for the
caring of their own race.

THE SUGAR FIGHT

The New York Chamber of Com
merce, body of considerable re-
nown, because of it's advocacy of
many aud divers measures Of pub
lie policy, few of which are enacted
into law, has interested itself in
the sugar fight openly, out Of sym
pathy for Cuba, but covertly in the
interest of the Sugar Trust. In a
resolution recently adopted, the
New York Chamber of Commerce,
which contains probably more
monopolists and trust managers
and directors than any similar in
stitution in the country, calls upon
Congress to grant a more liberal
reduction of the tariff to Cuba
than the 20 per cent, called for by
the bill Of the Ways and Means
Committee. The argument used
is that the reduction contemplated
is inadequate to meet the needs Of
the Cubans.--N. o. Picayune.

There are at least quarter doz-
en- people in Louisiana who are
pleased with the railroad commits
sion and they are the commission
ers themselves. They draw good
fat salaries, while the people foot
the bills. The only material good
the public gets out Of it is the privi-
lege Of seeing a few men live east
ly from the public crib; and this
would be all right if the taxpayers
were not forced to pay the Fiddler"

the dancing" But then we sup
pose the people Of Louisiana are

per Of officials from the public Grip;

Az might have been expected,

AS might have been expected,
President Roosevelt is not one Of
the too numerous Americans who
are ever ready to extol the public
schools as the foundations and
guardians Of our institutions and
our liberties, but who, when it
comes to the educating of their own
children, contradict their preaching
by their practice and send their off
spring to private schools. At Oys-
ter Bay the Roosevelt children
gained such knowledge of books
aud life Ms their father thought
they needed by going to the school
attended by the neighboring chill
dren, rich and poor. When their
fathers ce-Presidentiai term be-
gan two of the Roosevelt boys en-
tered the Force Public School in
Massachusetts avenue, in Washing
ton, and now the President has en-
rolled his third son, Kermit, among
the pupils Of the same broodly hos
pitable institution. This is exactly
as it ought to bs-not particularly
creditable, except by contrast with
the course of those who by implica-
tion assert that the public schools
are DULY for the children of the
poor aud of those in lowly station,
but plain, straightforward, thor
oughgoing Americanism, and an
example which cannot fail to dis
turb the SNUG self-satisfactiOn of
parents whose course draws a line
of cruelty invidious distinction
among the children of the land.
Presumably the Washington school
is n good one; most American pub
lie schools are good; but if it is
bad in any respect President Roose-
welt will have a personal interest
in remedying the evil which he GER
tainly would not have if the effects
of the evil did not fall upon one of
his own children. Faults in the
public schools will never be rene
died by sending children to private
schools. President Roosevelt is
giving practical demonstration Of
his belief in that great truth.

New Orleans Capital Makes q Pro.
position 10 Rice Growers.

Gueydan, La, March 3O.-Civll
Engineer G. d. Rabbit, of New
Orleans, representing capital from
the Crescent city, is on the spot
with novel proposition for fur
nishing water to to the farmers OF
this community for the irrigation
of their rice crops. He proposes
to put down deep wells for the rice
planters, with pump attachment
and engine. In other words, a
complete pumping plant, for the
consideration Of two sacks Of rice
per year to the acre irrigated for
the term of five years, after which
the pumping plant would be the
absolute property of the farmer.
Heretofore the farmer has paid the
same two sacks per year per irrlga-
ted without the benfit Of a pumping
plant at the end OF five years. The
proposition is being well received
by the majority of our farmers,
who will now be able to own water
privileges for the irrigation of their
crop without taking a cent from
their pockets.
BY actual count, there are sixty
eight deed wells for irrigation
purposes in this neighborhood, aud
several more to 60 down before the
pumping season begins. These
sixty eight wells will irrigate some
thirteen thousand five hundred
acres. The Lichtenstein & Hech-
niger canal will irrigate twenty
five thousand acres more,
