THE CROPS.

The freeze Of Wednesday night, 18tl
Of November, has done considerable
damage, but it has been diminished
by the very favorable cool weather
since which has enabled our planters
to rush their cane to the factories,
nothing but sudden spell Of warm
weather with rains will cause any
loss, the crop being SO short that not
much more time is required to save
it. ALL the factories are in full blast
Linden, which had decided to re-
main idle owing to the shortness of
the crop, giving her cane to Adeline,
has raised steam and is taking cane of
its customers and Of the plantation.
This place suffered the loss of its fine
residence by fire last Sunday night
s.Bayside' factory sustained an acct
dent in which the shaft of one of the
mammoth rollers was twisted off, this
will cause delay of several days.
A new shaft is being put in by the
great hydraulic press of George Simon
of this city. Loizel factory is run
ming on short time owing to the slow
ness Of deliveries of cane. sMorbi-
han is troubled the same way, labor
being scarce is the reason of this
delay in getting cane to the mill. The
yield of sugar per ton OF cane is quite
satisfactory but the amount OF tons
cane per acre is very disappointing
ranging from 1 to Is tons, which at
present prices about 81. 90 is not very
profitable OF all the seasons within
the memory of our Oldest plant
ers the present takes the cake
as Improbable and disappointing,
many have declared their inten-
tion Of abandoning cane and diversity
ing their crops in the future. The
news from Washington seems to con-
firm these decisions as with Cuban
reciprocity flood rushing over US, the
culture of cane for profit will be i'm
possible. Rice and cotton will be the
staples and corn. peas, potatoes, veg
tables. poultry, hogs, will be the
home comforts.

THE JASTREMSKI MEETING.

Although the Committee, had but
three days notice, the meeting was one
of the finest ever held i'll this COM
munity. 1t was spontaneous out
pouring of the people to do honor to the
old veteran, General Jastremski. The
City Hall was unable to hold che
crowds that clamored for admittance
and many were obliged to go away
disappointed in not hearing the peo-
pies choice for Governor. AS soon
as the presence of the General in our
city was made known, he received a
regular ovation, people calling on
him to exchange greetings and get a
pleasant word. Jastremski is magne-
tic, man of the people and this fact
was fully evidenced by the hundreds
that called on him privately to extend
their good wishes The meeting was
presided over by Judge Felix Voor-
his who opened the flood gates of en-
thusiasm which never closed till the
last word of the last speaker was
spoken.
Dr. Fred Mayer, of Lafayette was
the first speaker, whose address was in
the interest of the General and in the
most eloquent and forceful language
presented the claims of the peoples
candidate for Governor. The General
himself followed in modest manly
thoughtful speech that left no doubt
in the minds of any one present as to
his fitness for the position of Governor.
he was wildly applauded by all present
both ladies and gentlemen. Hon. B.
F. Jonas was the next speaker, who
expounded the principles of democracy
in scholarly convincing manner and
at the same time presented his claims
as candidate for United States Sena-
tor. Judge Barksdale, kept the au-
dience III roar from the first sentence
to the last presenting himself a candi-
date for Lieutanent Governor, as
against Hon. j. Y Sanders, his witty
pungent, sentences carried conviction
to all bearers his pleasing personality
and long legal experience, eminently
fit him for the position he seeks. Mr..
Sullivan Of New Orleans closed the
speaking in most forcible appeal to
the audience to support General JAS
at the primaries. The JAS
tidal wave is carrying every
thing before it and this Parish will
give an overwhelming majority for
him.

DEATH OF CAPT. J. N. PHARR.

One of the largest funerals occurring
in New Iberia, for many years was

eran planter, statesman and church
man. The remains were brought

friends from all over the State and by

SCHOOL ROOM DECORATION.

Not many teachers and but few
parents understand the immense
influence that proper school room
decoration has upon the health and
happiness of children. Proper
tinting of the school walls, color
treatment of the shades, chalk
boards, and woodwork makes a
room quieting to the nerves, pleas
ant enough to produce contentment,
aud to prompt alertness. A care
full choice of pictures should be
tastefulIy arranged on the walls,
so related to the age and interests
and capacity Of the child that any
given room may be logical in the
message Of its walls.
Let history, nature study, litera-
ture, and science here find delight
full illustration. Refinement in
environment has been proved to
rank very high in disciplinary
value, and shows sharply the
reaction of what is lovely upon
the conduct. Regarding the child.
Alice Freeman Palmer bore this
testimony, "Last Christmas vaca.
ton, a crowded schoolroon in a
tenement house section was taken
by a little company of women,
disinfected, and thoroughly cleaned.
The room was painted soft red
and, on the walls, in front of the
children's desk, two good pictures
were hung, large enough for all to
see, and, over the teachers desk,
between the pictures, was placed a
cast of the marvellous Greek horse
man from the Parthenon frieze.
The little children, eight to ten
years Of age, came wonderlngly
back to their new room They
could not work the first day for the
surprise and joy Of it; so their
teacher told them to write her
letter telling her how they liked it.
Dear teacher wrote the first, Il
promise you never to stick pins in
to jenny any more;' and another
boy wrote, 4 won't play hooky
again, never all the year. A little
Girl wrote, 'rlI ask my mother to
let me wear my good dress to-
morrow.
If the. reader is in the habit of
acting upon suggestions, please
remember that the teacher would
heartily welcome any assistance in
this matter of school room decora-

THE PHILIPPINES NEXT.

| commenting upon the passage OF
bill to effect the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, the New York Tri bune suggests
that as soon as the Cuban matter is
entirely settled by the passage of the
bill through the Senate, Congress
should promptly take up the question
| of granting to the Philippines SINH
liar privileges, or even of wholly re-
moving duties upon Philippines pro-
ducts.
According to the Tribune, we era
bound in honor to provide markets for
the Philippines, even at some sacri-
flee of our own merchants and farm
ers, just as we were in honor bound
to sacrifice our own people for the
benefit of our Cuban friends, who ut
terly detest us. Sugar, says the Tri
bune, is about the only article pro-
duced by the Philippines that would
be affected by a remission of duties
in whole or in part, and according to
our contemporary, the necessity of
aiding the Filipinos and making them
contented is of much more importance
than any small loss that may accrue
to American interests.
The reciprocity treaty with Cuba
will probably cause loss of several
million dollars year to the Louisi-
ana sugar industry, and the admission
of Philippines sugar would only add
to the loss As the Louisiana sugar
industry is entirely Southern inter
est, it matters little to the Tribune
and its Republican friends how much
it is hurt, hence we may expect to see
Congress hectored into passing Phil
ppines reciprocity bill as soon as the
Cuban bill is out of the way.
Of course, the Tribune does not
hint that the Sugar Trust will be the
only beneficiary of the admission of
Philippines sugar at lower duties, as
none Of this sugar enters direct into
consumption. The Philippines will
not benefit from remission of duties
on sugar any more than the Cuban
will benefit. The Republicans and
the Administration, however, realize
the necessity of big campaign fund,
and by helping the Sugar Trust they
undoubtedly count on the trust to
open its purse strings when the cam
paign opens
The Tribune appears to have for
gotten, however, that the Cuban meas
ure contains a clause which practic-
ally prohibits any change in the SUI
gar schedule for five years to come
that is, during the life of the treaty.
That arrangement would stand in the
way of measure to benefit the Phil
pines.
1t does not appear to have occurred
to the Tribune that a much better
way to settle matters in the Philip
pines and relieve ourselves of all
other responsibility for the islands
would be to grant the Filipinos in
dependence and permit them to shift |
for themselves. They are not en-
amored with our rule, and would
gladly shake it off if they dared.
They would undoubtedly infinitely |
prefer independence to reciprocity |
treaty with us, or to complete re-
of duties. They have con-
sented willingly to our rule, and by
granting them independence we
would rid ourselves of many vexatious
problems. -Picayune
