Deep Water.

With the Plaquemine locks fin
ished, there IS no better por, in the
country than Morgan City for the
many barges that come south from
the north and west loaded with
various cargoes. There is plenty
water and good wharfage, with ex-
client sites tor the largest elevators,
and wharf charges would be insig-
nlfcant.
But what IL needed TO get
this product by vessels to any
part of the world is deeper water
from the Atchafalaya river to the
gulf. The Morgan Line dredgdcd
q channel eleven feet deep with
little difficulty, through which Its
daily line of steamships passed for
Galveston, Corpus Christi, In
dianola, Texas, and Tampico and
Vera Cruz, Mexico. For num- er
Of yesrs the channel has been aban-
doned by the Morgan vessels, aud
we are informed that it has filled
up but very little notwithstanding
t has not been used.
The U. $. Geodetlc Survey has
surveyed and made maps and re.
ports OF the feasibility of the deep
err channel. The last engineers
report was not unfavorable on the
matter Of securing deeper water,
but stated that the pr, sent com
merce would not IN his opinion Jus.
tify the expenditure; which certain.
ly was correct.
Now the people of all this sec
ton and the Teche country IN
particular are greatly Interested IN
this deeper water movement, and
should make every effort TO secure
1t, which We believe they will do.

The new Board Of Trustees. at their
meeting Yesterday afternoon, by a vote
of four to two in favor OF the Weekly
lberian, selected that paper as its Off
cial organ. and accepted it's bid tor the
official printing and city job work
during their present term of Office,
consequently all that body's official
the Iberian. The Leader has no de-
sire to pose as a critic nor take issue
with that body over its official actions,
and is not doing SO now. But as it is
understood that the present mayor
and board of trustees owe their cleo
ton to the errors in business Judgment
charged to their predecessors. it can
not refrain from expressing a mild
amount of surprise over the action of
me nem board Of trustees in accepting
WitiOm comment such an anonymously
porded bid as that eft Weekly Iberion.
And it thinks their action in bind
ing the city of New iberia to pay
such pagueiy expressed obligation
established bad precedent 1t is un-
questionably the part of wisdom for
public servants to exercise all possible
care when creating liability to be
met by those they serve, and they
ought under no circumstances TO
create az obligation Me amount Of which
is not clearly scuorth. We also think
that the apparently careless manner
in which this bid for the official print
ing was accepted will give very effect
i've future campaign thunder to their
political opponents. However, The
Leader is not criticising but calling
attention in friendly way to an act
which, if oft repeated. will prove the
undoing of this honorable body. The
Leader wishes it understood that 1t is
satisfied with all the council did, be-
liev!ng it an honorable, upright body,
and that ineaprience only caused this ap
parent disreqard Of the cuy's petare.

The Daily Leader. July 3
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Weekly Iberian, accuses the Daily
Leader of making erroneous state
ments in referring to its bid for the
city printing. The idea Is absurd The
Leader has never had occasion to make
erroneous statements during its exist
ence. much less so in reference to our
esteemed Brother Millard's bid, nor
does it intend to do so at any time in
the future. Evidently Brother Willard
made mistake and serious one Mt
that in charging us with making err
roneous statements. as there is certain
ly no cause for such an intelligent per-
son as he to make such an accusation
when there is absolutely no foundation
whatsoever on his part for doing so.
We do not desire to enter into con-
troversy relative to the city printing.
at S12. 50 per a,snum the Iberidn is ,cel-
come to possess Il. But we trust our
esteemed Brother Willard will be
more careful in making accusations
in the future. Erroneous statements
are not a part or policy of the Daily
Leader, and we would respectfully ask
the editor of the Iberlan to make the
necessary correction in his next issue.

BERRY ISSUES ADDRESS.
Does Not Propose to Go From Place to Place Abusing and Insulting
 Opponent.

Little Rock. Sept. 2. Senator J. H. Berry has issued four column address to the people of Arkansas in which he never mentions the name of Jeff Davis.
 He announced that he will not engage in a joint canvass for the office.
 He says he has mo ambition to go from place to place in a personal canvass, indulging in abusive and insulting language towards an opponent
 He says he has never sought office on the demerits of another and never will. His record is open to discussion, but no man has a right to falsify, misstate and misconstrue 1t.
 He says he is in favor of tariff reform, freight rate control by interstate commerce, and a law making it a crime to deal in fut- ures. He says he has always fought for the farmer and looked after the interests of the state, and that he has never accepted a railroad pass, never hired a man to work for him at the polls, and never traficked in politics.
 Joint personal debates," he added between Democrats seeking nominations for the past five years in Arkansas have been of such a nature as greatly to injure the good name of the state both at home and abroad, and have done infinite harm to the party

LOOKED LIKE SOL ACORN.
Arrest Made in St. Louis Turns Out That it Was a Case of Mistaken
 Identity and Released.

St. Louis, Sept. 1. 1.-Robt. Ad- ans, who was arrested yesterday at 35O1 Morgan street on a tele- gram from Constable Carouthers of Newport, Ark, stating that a man named Sol Alcorn, alias Ad- ans, wanted on a charge of en- bezzlement, was stopping at this address, was released, cleared of all suspicion.
 The arrest of Adams was due, the police say, to a letter written by Mrs. Etta. Merrill, stopping at the same place, but formerly of Newport, who wrote to friends there, it is said, that Sol Alcorn was stopping at the Morgan street house under the name of Adams. Mrs. Merrill was brought face to face with Adams at the Four Courts and then said that she must have been mistaken. Adams had already convinced the police that a mistake had been made.
 AIcorn was treasurer of the Newport lodge of Eagles and skipped several hundred dollars short. Efforts to locate and bring him to trial have thus far failed.
