Favors a Stand Pipe.

We publish in this paper an ar
ticle taken from The New Iberia
Enterprise, commenting upon the
Water Works plant of that town,
that should be of some interest to
us, who are getting ready to erect
a plant of Water Work and Elec-
trio light. The New Iberia plant
has no stand pipe, and direct pres
sure from the pumps is necessary
all the time for the water works,
and this pressure during the day
is costing the town three hundred
dollars per month.
Now, the plant proposed for st.
Martinville will have no stand
pipe, but will have brick and &C.
ment reservoir in the ground ten
feet deep and thirty five feet in
diameter. The question arises
now if it would not be better, safer
and cheaper to have a stand pipe
instead of the reservoir, as we un-
derstand that a stand pipe for this
plant would only cost $500.
The operating expenses of the
New Iberia plant is SIC, 1883 per
year; the engineers figured that
the operating of the st. Martin
vile plant, one year will be $2,45C
the figures being taken from
plants the size of st. Martinville
but we are afraid that the expen.
ses will go higher than the esti-
mate. Of course our plant will
be much smaller than the New
Iberia plant, but we note that the
fuel bill alone of New Iberia was
81, 697 ,32 for one year.
The New Iberia plant, however
is self sustaining, as we note from
the report that the receipts during
the past year, were S10,2l5,51 ant
| the expenses of the plant for the
, same time, are S10,149,8S.

Decided Against Scalpers.

The Circuit Court of Missouri
recently decided that railroad tic
kets sold at reduced rates were not
transferable, and the st. Louis
Republic, in a strong leading edi-
torial, commended the decision,
among other things saying:
SIN the past numerous abuses
have arisen out of this vicious
practice. Thousands of persons
have been induced to break valid
contracts and sell to the innocent
travelling public a void and value
less railroad ticket. Thousands
also of purchasers of cheap tickets
have been deceived into the no.
ton that there was no wrong in
falsely impersonating the original
purchaser, and so the traffic has
been kept up, the brokers buying
cheap and selling high, the trave-
ling public being led into all sorts
of deception and subterfuge, and
many being abruptly elected from
trains when the deception was dis
covered.
at is the people in the country
who most suffer, unless the rapa-
city of the ticket broker be curbed
by wholesome legislation, such as
this bill offers. The railroads will
not make popular special rates un-
less they are protected as in other
States. Nobody can blame them.
The way to insure liberal rates is
to regulate the obligations of both
the railroads and the purchasers
of tickets.

According to an Alabama colo
mel, the reason the people want the
illiterate negroes DISTINGUISHED In
this state is because their votes
can be bought, and because they
become football between merce-
nary political factions. at is a
fact" said my informant, chat
every white man in the black belt
commands two negro votes, max
ing his voting strength equal to

A prominent man from Georgia
told me that in the 1,5OO negro
prisoners in the chain gang you
could scarcely find former slave.
They were colored people who had
been BON free and could read and
write.
/ talked with a former slave
near Booker Washington's insti-
tuition in Alabama. The old man
was a typical Uncle Tom. He
said that he had eight children,
but all had grown up and gone
away; and there was touch OF
pathos in his voice as he added:
"And me and the ole woman is all
that's left" He pointed with pride
to the village church. which he
said he had built. He was polite
and dignified, and far ahead, in
manners at least, of many North.
ern negroes l had met.
A leading business man of Geor.
gia told me this story: "My moth
er watched oyer our former negro
slave in his sickness for days and
nights, and could not have done
more for him if he had been hel
own son. The old negro once go
into a scrape, and after much hare
work and repeated calls l persua
ded the Governor to pardon him
This same old niger wants me tt
get him the pension Mark Hanna'l
bill referred to. l guess I'll have
to support the old slave the res
of his life."
The Southern people are bitter
toward the President. A mer
chant of Georgia observed to mt
that "no respectable white maj
will ever vote for Roosevelt"
l could write columns upon col
umns in regard to the race ques
ton. My own observation is thai
there is too much politics and no
enough common sense employed
in solving it.
The negro is inferior to tn,
white race, and will take a goot
many thousand years to educat
and elevate the former to max
them equal to the Caucasian.
Booker Washington's school i
only drop in the bucket, TO
where he educates one, a thousant
ignorant darkies are born in tn

The Southern people are mucl
kinder to the negroes than The
Northern people. This is the hon
est testimony of every Northern
man who comes South. But tn
Southerner will not admit that
race he knows to be inferior t
him in many ways is his equal i
