The Welch railroad is now be-
ing built near the woods where the
country is low nearly the entire
length of the road from Coteau
Home to Grand Pointe. The hope
of that road is to develop that Sec
ton of country. That entire coun-
try depend more on the drainage
canal aud the Levee Board for de-
velopment than the railroad. Un-
less the canal is built, the entire
Coteau Home section will remain
what it is today. overlooked every
year and worthless for crop pur-
pose. The balance of the route is
dependent on the Levee Board, if
a leEee is built they will be re-
claimed, if no levee is built Cd the
east side of the Atchafalaya and
Alabama bayou is damned as pro-
Jected, that entire section is DOOM
ed and the railroad will have to
run through water nearly half of
the year. Even the entire Gaia
houla section is believed, by those
who are supposed to know will go
under water after the damming of
the Alabama bayou. Those who
are fighting so hard against the
Canal might be sorely disappoin-
ted if our people were to throw up
the Canal project and abandon the
fight for levee protection. With
out the canal for drainage and for
the protection Of Coteau Home
aud levee protection for that Gu
tire section, we may see in less
than two years that entire section
overhowed and remain under wa
ter for nearly SIX months every
year. Will the railroad devel Cd
an overhowed section?

circus that was ever organized, and the

New iberia will be given exactly as they
we're presented in Manhattan. not the
slightest change having been made since
the season opened there.
There are no less than seven sensations
on the program, any one of which is
great enough TO give a circus distinc-
ton. There are the wonderful Schu-
mann horses waltz on their hind legs,
drink from glasses and roll each other
around in huge beer barrels; elephants
that use the telephone, cOnversing will,
each other over the wire from end of the
main tent to the other; The thrilling

America.

is almost beyond belief.

ed to ornate tableaux. The parade will
be three miles long. The menagerie,
too, is a wonderful affair, greatly enlar-

the animal world. At the head of the
melIageris is Darwin, the missing link,
which lives in a miniature house with
windows. electric light, hot water. heat

a knife and fork, drinks from bottle

point, seeing with what fine courage
and straightforwardnes the Danes have
atoned for their impulsive and over
generous fault
The point upon which we would IN
slst is this, that America has had no
monopoly of frauds and impostures.
The history Of delusions, active and pas
sive, is confined TO no land or age.
Thomas Browne remarked upon "how
much happiness is increased by the
general adoption of system of con-
"certed fraud and limited deceit while
Malebranche maintained that error IS
'the universal cause OF the misery OF
mankind" Between the two opinions
all nations, or rather conspicuous mem
bers of all, have wavered. From Dee to
Chatterton and PsalmanaZar and the
Mississippi Bubble and the South Sea
Bubble and what not else. not forgetting
the Crawford Humbert business and
Jabez Balfour and Captain Won koepe-
nick" other countries have had their i'm
posters and their dupes and their popular
crazes no less than our own. Precisely
what has happened in respect to America
in the Cook case might Just as easily
have happened in respect TO any other
land. In neither the deception nor the
acceptance Of 1t is the episode character
istic Of the United States, save In 80
far as 1t is characteristic of human
nature in general in all lands and times.

QUICK WORK.

Mayor Mcclellan Is justified In his
praise of Street Cleaning Commissioners
Edwards for the speed he has shown In
removing the recent snow from the
streets. When the depth of the snowfall II
is taken into consideration, the depart
ment has made a record as pleasing
and surprising to the public as was the
removal Of the snow by Colonel Waring
to public which had been accustomed
to see his predecessors wait till the sun
did the work. Mr.. Edwardss success is
all the more agreeable in that the storm
came at time when he was reported to
be "unprepared" for 1t, the contracts for
the removal Of snow dating from the be-
ginning of the coming year. He has had
an opportunity to set an example for his
snow removal contractors, and we hope
he will hold them rigldly up to his
standard
The Mayor alludes to the heavy cost
Of the work. Actual removal of the snow
Is always costly, and rapid removal of It
doubtless increases the cost. We do not
think, however, that there will be any
tendency to grumble at the expense in
case like this, when II is evident that the
work has really been done Moreover
though the cost is heavy, the saving TO
business In this city in minimizing de,
lays through the rapid cleaning up of
important thOroughfares Is enormously
greater.
