Battleships

Acting Secretary Of the Navy New
berry has completed arrangement for
the installation of submarine bell sig
nal apparatus upon several Of the

The Attack on Wilkinson's Rec
ord In Congress.

The Attack ON WiIkinsOn'S Rec.
ord In Congress-.
As drowning man clutches ut 6
straw, SO it il Mr.. Y. Sanders must
keenly feel the necessities OF his stu
alton in resorting to the most DIES
perate extremeties in his struggle fol
the g0vernorship OF the greatest SUI
gar and rice State in the Union, as
evinced when he descends to blindly
attacking ex-Congressman Wiikin-
sous record in representing the First
Congressional district of Louisiana
in our national Legislature.
To institute u homely yet striking
comparison, such action on the part
Of the st. Mary nspirant for guber-
material honors seems to show him
as filed with the bitterness of a fore.
seen defeat, for the taking of such n
course il about rs irrational as the
irate billy goat who was so foolish
AS to attempt to vent his anger by
butting against Il stone wall, and but
injuring himself in his savage assault
upon the object OF his attack.
Every planter and farmer in south
Louisiana dependent ON the sugar
industry for his support and subsist-
ence, and every man in any way con-
nected with our great rice industry,
who is familiar with the political his
tory OF these two leading industries
Of this section of the State. knows
full well that the repeated assaults
of Mr.. Sanders on Mr.. Wilkinson's
course in Congress-, and the implica-
ton that Mr.. Wilkinson did not most
faithfully and ably serve them, are
both foolish and without vestige
of foundation. All the people who
care do know that congressman
Wilkinson, Gay. Lagan and Robert
son, of South Louisiana, all made a
splendid and successful fight for the
retention Of a reasonable and profit
able tariff on sugar and rice during
the four years from 1886 to 1890,
when MIR. Wilkinson served in Con-
gress.
All of Mr.. Sanders own prolonged
service to this State, carried through
fifteen steady years, have
probably been worth less to the peo-
pie of Louisiana than one week of
Mr.. Wikinson's work in Congress, in
those perilous times when the life of
the States sugar and rice Industries
was threatened, and the support of
over q half million of our people men
aced with destruction, in the struggle
between the conflicting free trade,
low tariff wings, and the conserva-
tive Democrats in Congress. For
Mr.. Wilkinson's splendid service rem
dered to these two industries in WASH
ington, the Louisiana State Legisla-
ture put itself On record by a unani-
mons vote of thanks to him, and he
was offered the denomination for the
third time, unanimously, by the
First Congressional District Conven-
ton in 1890.
And, II We mistake not, the sugar
and rice people are going to give a
neutrality-suspicious. Of theirapprov-
al OF MIR. Wilkinson's past services to
their industries, and effectively, too,
at the polls OF the primary next win
ter, no mutter in what manner MIR.
Sanders may continue to overhead
himself by Illuminating ntternnces

old summertime. Sugar Planters

John c. Wickliffe's charge against
Mr.. Wilkinson that he kept negro

while he was inspector, is abortive in
its effect when one knows that not
merely was Holland protected by the
provision of the civil service, bnt Mr..
Wilkins0n's chief was President Gro

MIR. Wilkinson would not have been

Equalization.

Has the State Board of Equaliza-
ton equalized fairly? The board has
been guided by disinterested motives,
and in reaching conclusions, especial
ly as to livestock, is radical. A mule
is a mule. SO is q horse, and SO is a
COW, but there are mules and horses
and cows, and yet the valuation, il
equalized, is unjust and unfair for the
reason that thirty-dollar mule or
horse or COW should not be assessed
Mt the valuation of a hundred-dolIar
mule, horse or COW. The basis of the
equalization Of land is equally OBJ
jectionable. All lands, apparently of
the same kind, have not the same
value, which must depend on condi-
tions. The system Of equalization
is not responsive to the needs of the
day. The State Board OF Equaliza-
ton must in time revise their system
OF equalization on a broader and a
fairer basis OF equity, which shall not
require the owner of a thirty-dolIar
mule, horse or COW to pay taxes on
the basis of the valuation of fifty
dollar mule or horse or COW. There
is considerable difference in the actual
value of cattle and horses, so there
is in land and all values for taxation.
1t is not possible for one rule to gov
ern the valuations OF property
throughout the State. On the next
Legislature will devolve the duty of
providing amendments or another
law which shall meet intelligently the
requirements of the State. -Caucasinn
