a Success and Attended by More
Than 200 Enthusiasts-Work Of the
Team and the Veterans.

More than two hundred supporters Of the North
Side high school championship football team
were the guests of the North Side Commercial
club last night at an elaborate banquet at the
Third Ward Republican hall. One Of the features
of the celebration was the presence Of the ladies,
who were CALAMITY toasted by Arthur Jones, and
who showed themselves no less enthusiastic than
the more athletic sex. In fact, enthusiasm was
the keynote of the evening, enthusiasm for the
team and enthusiasm for the new Commercial
club.
After the banquet, which began at O'Clock,
several toasts were responded to, Dr. Hall being
the POSTMASTER, who introduced the speakers
with apt remarks. The first toast, "Signal for q

the North Side Commercial club, was an earnest

Three Thousand Dollars to pay teachers
salaries for the month of September
The committee appointed at previous
meeting to prepare budget, submitted
their report, and after some discussion it
was adopted.
NEW IBERIA, La, Sept. 9th, 1904.
We, the undersigned committee ap-
pointed to make budget for the school
term of l904-1905 would respectfully sub
NIT the following based upon an eight
months term as fixed by the Board
We deem it much more just and equ.t-
able to reduce the length OF the term than
to deduct from the salaries of he teachers
who have been employed 10y the previous
School Board for the present term.
The present Indebtedness Of the Public
Schools If lh'lia Parish Is 5 which
must he m,i altd l,at rs soon Il possible
in order Inst the schools NAV ba paced
upon solid fnaHciaI basis 50 That the
revenues iittrit.,r,. for lui,IIc ,,i.ration
will not he ed IN the pay neut If interest
which only benefits the mnnrv lender.
We trust thoi it may VET be possible to
extend the present school term from eight
to nine months through donations and sub
scrptions TO be raised from those inter
ested in the cause of public education. 1t
would work great injustice TO the child
rem attending the public schools to be de-
prlved OF this extra month and as it would
only require the sum of 81, $50 more to
keep all the public schools of Iberia Par
ish open for the entire term of nine
months, we hope and trust that the
parents and public spirited people of.this
Parish will come to the assistance of the
Bns,d anu not permit the schools to be
cl"a2i short of nine months term.

DEPEW REPLIES TO HERRIcK.
Explains How Import Duties Benefit
the Wage Workers.

A dispatch from Warsaw, N. " last
night says: Senator Chauncey M. Depew,
in a speech here today, replied to Judge
Herricks statement at Rochester last night.
when he gave this as the democratic posi-
ton:
"Our industries have ceased to be infant
industries that need protection; the increase
of wages is not due to the tariff or any
other law or party, but to the increasing
efforts of organized labor"
''It Is true" said Senator Depew. that
organization has accomplished great and
beneficent results for labor. but its -infiu-
ence is national. and not yet International.
American labor leaders cannot control con-
ditions in foreign countries. The congestion
Of employment abroad reduces the wages
of those who can find work to the lowest
rate Labor unions can bring about uni
form wages in different lines of industries
whenever located in our country, but with
the protective tariff taken Off, Great Brit
ain, Germany or Belgium could flood our
markets with goods produced by labor,
which, in wages, Is from one-quarter to
one-half less than prevail in the United
States

cellent, both literary and musical, the latter
under the direction of Miss Leila Lieber-
man, who was ably assisted by her pupils
Miss Daphne Thompson, Miss Louise Pat
tson, Miss Della Howard and Miss Flor
ence Bean. The story of the evening, en-
titled THE Introduction" was the clever
contribution of the author, Mrs. w. w.
Case.
Mr.. Thomas A. Broadus read a most
humorous original medley involving polit-
zeal, social vacation and club matters In
terspersed with puns jokes and witticisms
galore, and which was one OF the hits of
the evening.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Willis read original metric
lines touching the personnel of the club,
the peculiar characteristics of each mem
Der being cleverly emphasized. Miss Lieb-
erman gave bright and comprehensive
critique on the great pianist, Paderewski,
and Capt. w. w. Case read Mr.. Dooley
on the Bringing Up of Children" according
to new and improved twentieth century
methods.
Miss Bertha F. Wolfe gave a parody on
the Ride of Paul Revere based on a
recent international incident In which the
automobile supplanted the old-time equine.
The club opens the year under happy
auspices and has already received many
applications for membership The next
injecting will be on October %.

German Trade With South America

The State Department has just received a
report upon the trade of Germany with
South America. The report states that the
total foreign trade of Germany in 1903
reached a magnitude never before attained
In any single year, the value of the imports
being $1.504. 4S2f2o2, and of the exports,
s1,22l co.. G0, an increase In imports of
S122, ,564, and In exports of $75693, Oh
over those of 1902. The total increase in
the trade with America in 1903 was $41, 459,
600. of which So, 274,O00 was in the trade
with South America. The imports from
Argentina increased by $I6,3744OO, while
the imports from Chile decreased by So 1877
600. Another interesting and important
fact is that exactly one-haH of the increase
of expectations to South America were TAX
en- by Argentina. The report further shows
that the trade with Brazil last year has
never been surpassed except in the three
record years of 1890. 1891 and 1882. 1t was
S5,95O,OOO higher than the average of the
last ten years.

ALLISON TAKES THE STUMP.
Defends Government Expenditures to
an Indiana Audience.

an Indiana Audience.
A dispatch from South Bend, Ind, last
night says: Senator William B. Allison OF
Iowa spoke to large crowd here this
evening devoting most of his attention to
the criticisms of Judge Parker and Henry
G. Davis of the appropriations and expendi-
lures under the Mckinley and Roosevelt
administrations. He said, in part:
1.-The expenditures of our government
have been and are constantly being in
creased as conditions change. This Is not
only true as respects the general govern
ment, but is also true as respects all state
governments, and Indeed as respects all
municipalities If reforms are made In
expenditures / am sure that there is great
er need of reforms in all the leading cities
Of our country as the expenditures Of the
general government are more carefully and
scrupulously scrutinized by those having
the responsibility than are those OF state
or municipal governments.
TT is easy to criticise the appropriations
In the aggregate and say that they are
too great because they are greater than
they were in President Buchanan's time,
or because they are greater than during
the first or last administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland or the administration or
President Harrison, but it is quite an
other thing to take the trouble to analyze
the appropriations and show how the re-
duction can be consistently made.
us honesty in the public service party
issue? Has the democratic party shown
itself to be more honest than the republic
cans? Is there anything in its record to
justify such a statement? l do not believe
that at any period in our history there has
existed more integrity. more fidelity than
is found now in the administration Of Pres
ident Roosevelt. He has shown himself to
be the foe of dishonesty and peculation in
public places He has with unsparing hand
brought to disgrace and punishment every
violator of the law and every one who has
been unfaithful in the discharge Of a public
duty.
II do not believe that Judge Parker, II
elected, would be more faithful and watch
full in the great place to which he aspires;
yet in his letter of acceptance he implies
that President Roosevelt and his admirers
are violating the public trusts confided to
them as respects public expenditures.
TT is easy for the party not in power
to criticise in general terms. 1t is not so
easy for them to point out specific de-
fects 1t is easy also to make promises in
a political campaign when those promises
are absolutely impossible of fulfilment
when responsibility comes, If 1t ever comes
to Them
