Loss And Gains In Population
On. q. Daley States)


According to the census returns
the State Of Vermont has suffered
sush loss of population that it
will probably lose one congress-
man when the new reapportlon-
ment is made. While it appears
that few of The larger towns have
gained in population these gains
have been offset by losses in fact
all the great cities in the North are
showing gains in population, but
they are at the expense of the ru-
raj districts. as in the case in YER
mont
But SO far as the South is con-
csrned we think the census returns
will show that while the cities and
towns have grown at an eDcoura-
ging pace tho rural districts will
show the greatest increase in pO-
pulation aud it will be sufficient
to cause the South to make al APP
preclable gain ia the number OF
its representatives III Congress
should it receive anything like
fair treatment in the reapportion-
ment.
1t is true that the South has
gained little in population by
foreign immigration, but. as the
Charleston News and Courier says,
with the completion of tho immi-
grafton stations at that port and
New Orleans tho encouragement
of immigration of q high class
from the better parts of Europe,
seems almost certain and within
the next ten years the South will
make strides in population as sur
prising az those made in the last
half of tho last Gsptury by the
great Western Sta8."
1t is not size but the character
of the immigration that should
command the attention of the
South when tho immigration sta
tons are completed here and at
Charleston. We do not want to
be swsmped by such an Influx of
undesirable immigrants as have
been coming into the country in
recent years. We should strive to
get the pick of the best that comes
and especially those from the bet.
ter parts of Europe.

MOTOR SERVICE.

A movement was started IN La

should have the support of the en-
tire section, which is to have a
Motor Car service to leavs Port

VILE, Csde, Brouseard and Lafay-
cite, this morning car being to &C

the Industrial school at Lafay ette.
The car to make the same trip re-
turning in the evening.
1t is also suggested that the Car
make regular belt service from
Lafayette, Breaux Bulge, st.
Martinville, Cade, Broussard back
to Lafayette.
Such a service would certainly
be great convenience to the pub
llc and prove paying venture to
the Railroad Company.
We learn that the Baton Rouge
road will be put in operation on
the First day of October. if such
be the case, the people of this sec
ton have a right to demand con
nection with that train, and a mo-
tor car service to meet all trains
at Cade aud all trains at Breaux
Bridge would afford the necessary
accommodation.

railroad officials at Lafayette and
it was agreed that n motor line
would soon be operated on the iol-
lowing schedule The service will
