THE CANAL.

There seems to be considerable
mystery connected with the work OF
the New Iberia Drainage Canal. work
has stopped and nothing is being done
by the contractor, s. +. Hoyt, who
is absent from the city. The tax
PAYERS have generously voted sub
stantial tax for the constructing of
this work and they are anxious to see
the work proceeded with. The bonds
men of the contractor should be called
upon to resume work or forfeit his
bond. Considerable of the tax has al
ready been collected and used, with
out any tangible results, but swim
ming hole for the boys. The board
should get busy and either go on with
the work or collect the bond and re-
turn to the taxpayers. that which
they have paid i'll without any re-
sultant benefit. We understand Hon.
r. F. Broussard and Attorney Haase
have gone to the City in the interests
Of this canal and it is hoped that they
will be enabled to straighten out the
seeming mystery and get the work
again underway and brought to a
finality as contemplated by those who
furnish the means thereto tax
payers.
Since writing the above, Hon. Il.
f.. Broussard came in Thursday night
from New Orleans, whittier he had
gone in the interests of the New
Iberia Southern Drainage Canal. He
has letter from Mr.. Thomas, the
surety Of Mr.. Hoyt, contractor, who
states that unless Mr.. Hoyt resumes
work by the 25th, he will himself
take charge OF the contract and push
the work. The bond will be forfeit
ed on the 25th, unless work is COM
menced. therefore Mr.. Thomas has a
most pressing reason for resumption
Of the work.

a MAP OF THE PARISH NEEDED.

Almost every day accentuates the
need of Parish map for the location
Of properties, especially for the use OF
the Assessors Office. Under the Wig
orus regime inaugurated by Mr.. John
Broussard, Assessor, much property
that has heretofore escaped taxation
has been found. Many tracts have
not been ASSESSED at all, owing
to ignorance Of its existence by the
Assessor. With complete map of
the Parish. this would be avoided the
cost Of the map would soon be reim-
bursed BY the amount Of property found
for assessment. This is matter the
Police Jury should take up ut Its next
n,eeting Calcasieu Parish has fine
map, blue print Of it's entire proper
", also Of Lake Charles, where each
piece can be readily found and &c
counted for. The original cost may
b considerable. but the blue prints
Uan be sold BY the Clerk of Court and
the amount soon returned to the treas
ury, nearly every business man would
buy one of these maps. We trust the
matter will be agitated until the map
il finally ordered.
Mr.. Broussard and his assistants,
Mr. W. L. Burke and Hon. Leon Lee
marie, are doing all in their power
TO equalize the assessments and in
time to lower them, SO many inequali-
ties exist and so much property entire
~ escaping that when all is adjusted
: material reduction OF assessment
and rate can be assured.

The CUBAN MARKET FOR
LOUISIANA RICE.

According to recent advices from
Havana, the bill which has been
pending for some time in the Gu
ban Congress increasing the duties
sufficiently on importatious of rice
so as to give additional protection
to Cuban rice, and at the same time
afford American rice larger pre-
ferential than it now enjoys, stands
an excellent chance of finally pass
ing.
The passage of this law will
greatly increase the consumption
Of Louisiana rice in the Island of
Cuba, as it will give our product a
sufficiently preferential over for
eign rices to enable it to compete
with success. At the same time
the extra protection will undonbt-
eddy help the rice industry in
Cuba, although it is not likely that
the Cuban production will increase
sufficiently to provide more than a
moderate proportion of the needs
Of the people Of the island
While Louisiana has always been
opposed to the sacrifice Of the sugar
industry to benitit rice or any other
product, there is nothing but strict
justice in the Cuban Congress ac-
cording a better differential to
Louisiana rice, since our sugar in
dustry is made to bear so large a
proportion of the burden resulting
from the law giving Cuban sugar
reduction OF 20 per cent in our tar
i'll 90 imported sugars.
Should the proposed law pass
New Orleans will promptly need
more extensive shipping facilities
to Cuba than are now available, as
the Cuban demand for L0nisiana
rice is certain to greatly augment.

GIVES PRAISE TO ROOSEVELT.

Jackson, Miss, June 14.-Cou-
gresham John Sharp Williams,
the Democratic minority leader,
gives a generous measure of praise
to President Roosevelt for his eff
forts TO bring about peace between
Russia aud Japan.
Mr.. Williams was at the capital
this morning, leaving here on the
special train of Jackson Lodge No.
416 to attend the state convention
of the Benevolent and Protective
Order Of Elks. He is booked to
deliver an address at the session
tonight.
In discussing the preliminaries
to the actual peace negotiations be-
tween the two warning nations,
Mr.. Williams stated that President
Roosevelt has handled the matter
in a very intelligent and states
manlike manner. He expressed
qualification that the presidents
attitude has been that of a friendly
mediator instead of an arbitrator
of their difficulties, but believes
that the good Offices of the presi-
dent should cease when the minis
ters OF peace for the two nations
are named. as the United States
cannot afford to mix up in the dis
cnssion of terms.
..As citizen OF the United
States, said Mr.. Williams, II
would have been glad to see the
Car OF Russia forced to sue for
peace, instead of friendly media
ton being the channel through
which cessation of hostilities is Sc
cured. The Russian Emperor
should be taught that. despite bis
autocracy, he. is not all-powerful,
and the lesson would have been
wholesome for the Russian people.
/ believe it has been made quite
plain to the public mind, however,
that it was Russia who was anx-
ions to quit fighting and that.

and diplomatic phrases, the Gear

THE WATER WORKS AND ELEC-
TRIO PLANT.

The new Superintendent of the
Electric Lights and Water Works. as
made his report for the month of May,
1905, making most creditable show
ing and gain over operating expenses
Of $347.0S. Under his management
the revenues of the City's plant has
increased. Our people should encour-
age him by giving hearty support and
cooperation.
New Iberia does not use the cleo
tric lights to the extent it should. In
a recent issue of the Iberian, it was
shown that the people of. Opelousas,
support their plant to much larger
extent than the people of our city.
Should the owners of residences
patronize the plant, the increased
revenue will soon enable the manage
ment to reduce the rate and thus
cheaper the use Of lights.

ligntened American community ought
to have, there is still a great oppur.
tunity for improvement. The secret
of the shortcomings is found in mis-.
management, the apathy of many citi.
zens and the selfish interests of some
connected with private institutions.
What is needed is a generally arous-
cd interest in the public schools,-not
that the private institutions shall suf.
fer. but rather that the public schools
may keep pace with progressive
standard
The pubic.school situation in Homo.
lulu today is fairly good. The teach.
ers are underpaid and many of the
sChUoihouscs are not large enough to
properly accommodate the children
who would attend. But outside a g, n.
eral atmosphere of poverty, entirely
out of keeping with the business pros.
perity the Territory of Hawaii enjoys,

It would be fortunate indeed II the
same condition prevailed throughout
the Territory, in the country districts

the exceptions are sufficiently numer.
Gus to prove the rule. More than one

one teacher, though paid only s25. a
month, is expensive at half the price.
This is largely the result of the in.
difference of men able to maintain
their children at private schools. The

class leveler, becomes class promo.

realize that 1t Is one of their very Sc
rious duties to provide flrstclass
teachers and school houses through.

Governor Carter has at least shown
THAT he is willing to risk the jewels of
his home in the hands of the public

tiers. when he saw the excuses coming
thick and fast, took occasion to state
that the work of the Grand Jury fol
the co ming term would be very light
There would probably be only ono ar
possibly two sessions a week.
When the Grand Jurors were sworn.
them had ever been convicted of fell
ony or misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude. None had. He then asked
ii they were American citizens. The,
all were.
At this point Peters enquired into
the manner in which those of the
Grand Jurors who had been natural,
lied, became citizens. In Honokaa tho
question of the legality of naturaliza.
ton by Circuit Court Judges was
brought up recently and brought the
court proceedings to a standstill. Pc.
tiers eidently did not want to have tina
legality of his Grand Jury quashed.
so he asked which Jurors had been nat.
uralized. Richard Weldon, VIM. j..
White and Louis Madeiros had all
been naturalized, but all by United

the Court proceeded to read the
charge.
