It is not often that a town is so hard hit by death, as was the case in the neighboring town of Roxbury, last week. There passed away in one weeks time Mrs A. L.

Mrs Hodge was the wife of Col A. l.. Hodge, perhaps the best known citizen in that town.

canal will be for the present. We
dug a hole in the ground and then
started to construct the boat. As soon
as the vessel is completed which will
not be long, we will put it in opera
tion and begin to dredge the canal.
1.-The dredge boat is being built
three miles southeast of Gueydan
right by the Southern Pacific tracks
and it has been seen a great many
times by the passengers on the train
and wondered at continually. 1t is
not strange that it has become mat

"Well, of all the enterprising towns
I ever heard of, Gueydan out in Yer
million parish takes the cake. The
hustling citizens there are doing some
thing that was never done by those
of any other town in the world, no
matter how wide-awake they may
have been or might be. Those pecu-
liarly enterprising people have taken
a notion to have deep water and
port and all that sort Of things and
how do you suppose they have gone
to work to achieve that end? Why,
they are now busily engaged in build
ing big ship right ON the prairie.
They expect to entirely complete the
sea-going montser and then construct
the great canal they have in mind
from the gulf up to the ship and start
her off. The vessel is in plain
sight of the depot where hole has
been dug in the ground. The vessel
will be at least as big as the Great
Eastern and already it is so far COM
pleted that the smokestack may be
seen sticking out of the top. Wonder
full, wonderful, is the way those Guey
dan people set about doing things. "

"Ereeu Coal a DeIusion.

The action of Congress in putting
coal upon the free list for one year Is
not likely to afford the relief to con-
sumers in Eastern cities that was an
ticipated from the passage OF that
bill. It is now said that the supply
of foreign coal that will be attracted
to the American market by the remis-
sion of the duty will be infinitesimal,
compared with the demand, and when
the cost of transportation is added to
the foreign price, it will be impos-
sible to sell this coal in New York or
Boston for much less than nine or ten
dollars a ton.
The Leader has not thought at any
time that the removal Of the duty
from coal would be Of any marked
benefit to the people in this country.
The fact of the matter is that, while
there was a nominal duty on anthra-
cite coal, it was not a protective duty
in any sense, for the reason that, duty
or no duty, there could be no serious
competitions between Welsh coal and
that mined in Pennsylvania in any OF
the markets of this country. That
was proved last fall, when prices run
ming as high as twenty-five dollars
n ton failed to attract any consider
able shipments of Welsh coal to this
market.
The coal trust has not been foster
ed by protection. 1t has grown up as
the result of monopoly OF the pro-
duction and transportation OF coal,
and no possible foreign competition
could have prevented it. But the
people thought the Pennsylvania
operators were given an advantage In
the tariff to which they were not en-
titled. and Congress satisfied the
popular demand by repeating the tar
iff for one year. 1t will have little or
no effect.-Cleveland Leader.

consequences might not prove to be
Just what free traders covet, were the
duty permanently eliminated from
bituminous Goals. Certainly the re-
tention of the duty will probably
hasten that reciprocity treaty with
Canada which the free traders want
to see, but which they would indefl-
nitely postpone by putting on the free
list those American products which
cannot be made the basis of reciproc-
ity unless dutiable. In other words,
the free traders would give away
the American market even though
Canada yet hold fast to her Chinese
wall"
The glee with which the free trad
ers welcome the coal crisis as a
means Of upsetting the tariff, which
has contributed so highly to our pros
perity, shows how far political parti-
sanship runs ahead Of business inter-
ests. To hold Baerism and Debsism
to their responsibility, is now Roose-
velt's and the Republican program.
The Democratic program is to divert
attention from Debsism and Baerism
and accuse the tariff laws under
which we have harvested unexampled
prosperity. This might work well If
