The Board of Aldermen of The City
Of Opelousas held two interesting
meetings last week, and transacted
some spicy business.
At the regular meeting a resolution
appropriating $1,000 for the con-
struction Of concrete cutters was
passed, and at a special meeting the
resolution was rescinded, Alderman
Loeb, of the Fourth, who was in
Baton Rouge at the time of the pass
age of the original resolution, having
returned, and voting with MI. st. Cyr
and Mr.. Larcade, who originally voted
against the resolution, gave a
majority Of one against the measure,
Mr.. Frank J. Dietlein, of the coun-
Gil, and M. H. Thompson, of the
Young Mems Alliance. composing a
committee to suggest a district for
abandoned women, recommended a
certain portion of the Lawler & Cald-
well Addition. Alderman st. Cyr
gave notice that he would at some
future time introduce an ordinance
relative to this matter.
Although the special meeting had
in view the taking up Of the
Mayors veto regarding the appoint
ment Of a stock impounder, the
matter did not come up, for the
reason that there were but three
members of the Board present, not
enough to override the Mayors veto.
The proceedings of the two meet
ings are as follows:

FREE WOOL A NECESSITY.

During the year ending December,
1909. the importation of wool greatly ex-
Ceeded that OF every former annual per-
lod in the history OF the country, says the
PhiIddelbkid RecOrd.
The imports outstrip in quantity those
of the brief period in Cleveland's Admin
istration when wool was on the free list
and when American manufacturers drew
upon the markets of Europe for the finest
fleeces of Australia and Argentia. In
1895 the total importation of free wool
amounted to FAC. S29, $50 pounds, of the
value of $40, S32,G39. Last year the inn
portations amounted ITO 3I2I3I17I
pounds, of the value of SIS, zoe, 72S.
OF last years importations of wool
1856, 22o, 5II pounds, or considerably more
than one-third, consisted Of third-class or
coarse carpet wool. One cause of this
large importation of wool is in the fact
that the domestic supply is almost sta
tionary, while the demand is constantly
increasing. Because of the advance in
the price of cotton a very considerable
quantity of the coarse and cheap CARPET
wool can be advantageously used in the
manufacture of clothing. As usual, the
Importation of second class or ''combing''
wool, needed by numerous factories in
Pennsylvania and other States, lags far
behind on account OF the high duty. In
vain the manufacturers of wooden pleaded
against the iniquitous discrimination in
the tariff in favor of the manufacture of
worsted goods. The only answer they
got from the Aldrich Committee of Fl
nance was that they should get into some
other business As for the $4,000. 900
American consumers, whose need of
more warm and comfortable wooden
clothing flannels and blankets is growing
apace, they were treated with as much
nonchalance by the Payne-Aldrich tariff
makers. President Taft has borne wit
ness that because of the powerful in
fluence of the sheep growers and wooden
manufacturers it was impossible to secure
in this best of tariffs any mitigation of
the barbarous duty of one hundred per
cent. on the wooden clothing of the Amer
lean people.
1t is evident that free trade in wool at
an early day is an inexorably necessity.
One OF the striking proofs of it is the
enormous importation of last year over
high tariff wall erected for its obstruction.
In spite of the cries of the sheep-growine
syndlCates of the Rocky Mountains. free

well-being and health of the millions of
American people. To the growing scar
city and DEAFNESS of pure and wholesome
wooden clothing may be attributed much
OF the pulmonary disease that afflicts the
poor and needy of the land Free wool,
with reduction of compensatory duties on
wooden fabrics, is demanded also for ar
resting a scandalous smuggling traffic
which deirauds the revenues and gives
the INSCRIPTIONS an advantage over hon
est people. Senator Delivers eloquent
and powerful indictment of the brutal
SC edule of wool and woolens in the ex-
ira session of Congaess gathers new force
with every days delay IN reforming it out

B. & o. Equipment.

Included in the orders for new motive
power and equipment recently placed by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were *
high-power passenger locomotives of the
Atlantic type, which are now being deliv-
cred and placed in immediate service
These locomotives are designed to meet
the present day demands for speed, COM
fort and safety and in them is represented
the most advanced art in the construction
OF high speed locomotives. The Atlantic
type engine is a modification of the old
American type, the modification consist
ing in the addition of 'trailor" truck
for carving the larger frebox found nee
essary for hauling the heavy express
trains. The tireboxes of those locomo-
tives are six feet wide by nine feet long.
or about the size of single bedchamber
III one of our seaside hotels, and therefore
need special means for CARRYING, hence
the 'trailor" truck. The height of the
fireboX is seventy inches, or high enough
for man OF ordinary height to stand
erect when inside.
With the cabs constructed of steel. a
new departure in locomotive building.
the engines have two pairs of driving
wheels So inches in diameter, three revo-
lutlons OF which would carry locomotive
across a 5o-foot street. The total length
of the engine and tender is 6S feet TX
inches, or longer than necessary to reach
from house to house across a 6o-toot
street
The weight of the locomotive, includ-
ing the tender, is about $50, 900 pounds,
or us tons; in other words bringing it
down to ordinary measure, it would repre-
sent weight equivalent to IFS carloads
of dirt, which if strung out close together
in line. would make train of carts
1850 feet long, or over half mile in
length. The capacity of the tender for
coal and water for the locomotive is 900
gallons of water, or 222 barrels, and Is
tons of coal or IS carloads.
The Atlantic type locomotive will haul
on straight, level track a passenger
train of rs passenger coaches, 10 baggage
7 Pullman and postal cars a total of so
cars in train, at speed of DO miles per
hour and is capable of hauling a passen-
ger train of ordinary size at speed of So
miles an hour.
As means of safety the engines are
equipped with the latest type of automatic
driving and truck brakes to
all wheels of the locomotive The high
speed brake permits the locomotive to be
run for maximum proportion of the
time at the highest speed, with as little
loss of time as possible 10 bring it to a
full stop.
The boiler is IS inches in diameter and
contains 247 tubes for the radiation Of
heat through the boiler, each being "a
inches IN diameter and IS feet 1 inch long.
These tubes if i'm one COntinuouS nine
would have length of 1926 feet, or
nearly three-quarters Of mile
To further prevent loss of time the loco
motives are provided with a water scoop
for filling the tank with water while the
train is in motion. These scoops are con
trolled by cylinders operated by COM
pressed air. The locomotive bells are
operated by pneumatic bell ringers to en-
able the fireman TO give more attention to
the firing of the locomotive.

RECKLESS EXTRAVAG ENCE
OF CONGRESS.

Congress is appropriating public money
at the rate of more than a billion dollars
a year. We have the most expensive
government on earth, although we MAIN
tain one of the smallest standing armies
and have no enemy that threatens us.
For several years the Government has
spent from $50, 600, 900 to SIS. ooo. 900
more than it has received. The tariff on
some articles has been increased, the
corporation tax and other levies adopted
to increase the revenues. Senator AL
drich states that the Government could
be run Just as efficiently for 5000, 900 600
less than its present cost. President Taft
has been urging economy in every depart
ment Yet the appropriations made by
the House are still mounting, the Senate
adds few millions more in each bill,
and the riot Of spending continues. Such
projects as to pay 1000, 600 to the ne
groes who lost money in the 'Freedman's
Bank" are still cropping up. Though we
are now spending about SI6o, 1000, 900 a
year for pensions, it is urged that PEN
slons be increased TO 81 a day, which
would add an enormous sum to the
present burden.
The cost of living is very high; taxes
are increasing, times are not SO pros
porous as they were five years ago; our
exports TO Europe are decreasing, the
balance of trade" is no longer greatly in
our favor. Is it any wonder there is a
general protest against the policy of reck-
less extravaganza and demand for
new deal in Washington? Such men
as James r. Garfield and Ex-Governor
Herrick, of Ohio are merely voicing a
demand that is made by the great mass of
voters of all parties the country over.
