WORK SUSPENDED.

On Wednesday the people of
this city were much disappointed
in their hopes when it was announ-
ced that an order had eliminated
from headquarters suspending all
construction work along the line
of the Central Railroad Co., of
Louisiana. It was also stated
that the reason for the order lies
in the fact that the company is
considering some material changes
in the route, effecting the crossing
of Grand Lake and that portion of
the line near Leesville.
We learn from citizen of St.
Mary that the work of grading
had been pushed with vigor in the
vicinity Of Charenton aud that
good progress was being made in
that locality. Only recently quite
an additional force of men was en-
gagged upon the work.
However disappointing the or
der may have been, the assurance
has been given out that work will
be resumed at an early date. as
soon as a determination can be
reached in the several sections in
question. When work will be re-
asonable TO expect that the COM
pany will make such progress as
to retrieve any loss III time that
may have resulted. I. IBERIAN.

New Earthquake Theory.

The relation OF the extent Of earthquake
disturbance TO the size OF the original break
which caused the trcmor has always been n
subject of interest to biologists. The original
idea that some point focus could be more
or less accurately located and circunscrlbed
where the prime explosion or rupture occurred
gave place several years ago 10 the theory
OF q regional focus which might extend over
several or many miles fault. for instance.

New York's Funeral Customs.

THE RUST SCARE.

The periodical rust scare which is
sweeping over this state emphasizes
the Importance of so diversifying the
agricultural industries that one calam-
ity could destroy the entire crop and
practically destroy the income of many
of the farmers. A few years ago the
country was suffering from the dan
gers Of flax wilt. and then came the
rust and soon something else will
follow. 1t is so in all agricultural
countries. and will be so until farming
becomes far greater science than it
is now even.
The cotton growers of the south
tremble at the very mention of the
boil wevil. while the Delaware peach
growers fear peach blight as north
erner fears the yellow fever. No plant
in fact which is highly developed is
immune from the attack of some dis
ease.
The trouble is that where there is
one crop method the development
of the disease particular to that crop,
and which is intensified if not en-
gendered by weather conditions, means
the loss of all revenue from agricul-
tural sources. and consequent ruin
to many of the farmers. That such has
not been the repeated results in the
northwest is because the country is so
fertile and so productive that what
would ruin any other section is merely
check on our prosperity here.
But as the country becames older
and the population more dense there
will be far greater need of conserv-
ing the fertility of the soil and making
larger profits out of smaller produc-
tions. This will call for the develop
ment of the smaller industries as they
are now termed. More attention will
have to be paid to garden products and
the grains will have to be so diversi-
fled that If one should fail because of
some disease the others would still
AFFORD a good remuneration.

wonder that the democrats are turn
ing to MIR. Bryan as to Moses and
imploring him to make an issue upon
which they can go before the country
with something at least for argument,
even though it is worthless as a nation
al issue. 1t is the same old story of
the democrats. They have not for
years had an issue which was made
by national conditions or nations de-
mands. Every one of them have been
artificial and foreign to the needs and
demands Of the country. 1t is just
as impossible to carry the people away
from matters of Importance in ma
tional campaign as it is to induce a
man to give consideration to pro-
position in which he is not interested.
And even If he should become carried
away for the moment in a political
whiri of enthusiasm the results are
never lasting and when the reaction
comes, as it certainly will, he is far
more strenuous as an opponent to his
late cause than he would have been
had he not at first enlisted in it's
support.
1t is indeed gloomy outlook for
the democracy of the country and It
is no wonder that the leaders are I'M

wANTED-AN ISSUE.

Some of the leading democrats of
the country who realize that the party
is without an issue in the present con-
gressional campaign, are urging Mr..
Bryan to hurry home and in speech
on something declare the issue of the
party in the fall campaign. The situa-
ton is SO desperate that John Sharp
Williams has urged the Nebraskan to
declare against government ownership
of the railroads, on the grounds that
the south regards public ownership as
a menace to the silent though none the
less firm belief in states rights.
The half hearted way the southern
ers are coming to look upon the rea-
sonable tariff rates is giving con-
siderable alarm to the followers of
that political faith in the section of
the country which has always been re-
garded as Its by right of birth. Dis
cussing this matter we'll informed
writer recently said:
AS a matter of fact the gradual
transformation of the south into COM
mercial and manufacturing centers is
fast teaching the people of that section
OF the country that a protective tariff
is the finest thing in the world for the
encouragement of trade and industry,
and as a consequence many of them
are changing from opponents to
staunch supporters of the republican
policy of protection. They are intelli-
gent enough to realize that anything
approaching free trade would result in
widespread disaster to the south, no
less than to the longer established
industrial centers of the north and
east, and they are commencing to ap-
preciate the fact that we'll regulated
tariffs are benefit instead of dis
advantage. The effort to arouse
tariff revision sentiment is, therefore,
falling on deaf ears as far as the south
Is concerned, and as the south is the
stronghold of democracy the leaders
of that party are at their wits end
to solve the problem which confronts
them.
Under such conditions it is little
