A BACKWARD GLANCE.

1t was fifty years ago on April
18th. that the gun booming over
Fort Sumter. firing upon the flag
of the United States. awakened the
patriotic citizens Of the Union, TO
the menace Of the threatened dis
rnption Of the American Republic
"a land fought for by the North
ern and the Southern soldier alike,
against common foe for free
dom, independence and right.
On both sides of the Mason and
Dixon line were loyal Union
hearts and it is interesting to note
that the bitterness of feeling fos-
tered by the tragedy Of the Civil
War came from the extreme North
and the extreme South. Expert
ence with. and knowledge of the
people both North and South by
themselves, had a modifying ef-
Ieet upon their mutual prejudicss.

PARC PERDUE NOTES.

The past week has been a fav
orable period for all agricultural
interests. Cotton is making
progress. The plant has already
reached a good size and is looking
promising. Many farmers have
already started in chopping out
their cotton to stand.
Reports about the corn crop are
very encouraging. The corn crop
is already well advanced and with
favorable summer weather there
is every promise of a big yield.
The late heavy rains have made
the crops grassy, but on the whole
the weather has been very favor
able. The cane crops are making
excellent progress and the indica-
tons are that with favorable
summer weather a fine crop will
result. There has been good in
crease in acreage devoted to cane
in this section.

THE PANAMA CANAL MUST
BE FORTIFIED.

tory of the Uniled States. and sur

whose perpetual ferment may
cause them to break into hostili-
ties at very short notice, inaccessi-
BILE except over lengthy routes by

cost OF nearly four hundred mil
lion dollars, a property. the Fan
anna Canal, whose completion, it is
hoped, will greatly stimulate the
oversee trade of this country and
the building of an adequate deep
sea merchant marine. and at the
same time greatly increase the
strategic value Of our navy.

Of this great enterprise that. IN

Common sense and far-sighted
prudence demand That, having

its owners should take measures
to ensure its permanence and pro-
tect it against destructive attack
and it is the unanimous opinion of |
both our Army and Navy Depart

to protect the canal would be to |
a powerful system of |
forts commanding the entrances

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

What the sickle removes, the
hour glass must supply. Life is a
never ending process of nature
and reflection Of the divinity and
wisdom Of the Creator. Death may
stop and arrest the pulse of one
heart and stifle the breath of one
soul, but the life Of the universe.
the soul of humanity, the heart of
mans race must continue. must
survive in the maelstrom Of etern-
ity and time. Death can have no
terrors, no stings, no punishments
and no revenges affecting the
stream and the ebb and tide Of the
human wave. The grave stands
merely for the end of the process
of one Of the stages of human en-
istence while the Cradle reflects
the fecundity and the victory of
man over the grave ashen harvest
The process is eternally rational
and orderly and not a combat Of
opposing spirits and destinies.
Our brother, A. s. Aud has
crossed the rubicon, but his sue
cessors remain to assume life's
responsibility and duties and full
fill the obligation assumed in our
worlds work. That he led an ex
amplary, industrious life is an in
dex of his thorough understanding
Of the duties he owed his God, his
and his family.
That with unflagging interest
md undimmed delight he cher
shed his alliance with Pythian-
SIN is a certificate Of a genuine
of man s span of ex-
stence TO the fraternal movement

md its relations. For nearly a
bird of century he was pillar

THE TROLLEY LINE.

The Coast Herald Of Jeanerette
n its last issue speaks thusly about
the proposed trolley line;
"Mr. +. w Crosby. president of
the Southwestern Traction and
| Power Company, with his attor
news, Messrs. Cammack Il Brous.
sard, appeared before the City
Council Wednesday and applied
for "A franchise and right OF way
: TO operate an electric railway
through the town Of Jeanerettc.
| Mr.. Crosby by his carnestnesS and
the data which he submitted OF
his plans succeeded IN convincing
| The Mayor and members present
that he means business and has
made arrangements whereby he
can carry his project to Il success
fuI conclusion. and his petition
for franchise was ordered pub
lishcd as required by law.
Mr.. Crosby S project is to build
and operate a trolley line between
the towns of .jcanercttc and New
iherin. which will be the first di-
vision. the system TO be extended
both east and west. He says he
has spent much time and money
and has made every arrangement
tor financing the road before he
submitted the project to the PEG
pie. He will ask the people Of
Jcanerettc ana New iberia to vote
"A small tax IN aid of the road, and
proposes to begin construction
work Immediately after these
bonuses are voted. Mr.. Crosby |
saws he has SO perfected his plans
that if the towns of Jeancrcttc and
New Iberia show that they want
the road he can begin work with
in thirty days after the bonus is
voted That he has contracted for
so pound steel rails and the finest
ears built for street railway serv-
lee. which all awaits his order by
telegraph.
The people of our town have
been disappointed so often IN troll
ley and railroad projects that they
have become skeptical. From the
evidence submitted. the Herald be
Iieves confidently that Mr.. Cros-
by is in position to carry out all
his promises. His father is pres
dent of large traction system in
The East and it is through his bus
mess connections and Influence
hat Mr.. Crosby has been success
'ul in interesting capital to finance
he Southwestern Traction and
Power Company. 1t should be
borne in mind that the bonus ,
which will be asked for and vot- {
n on will not be paid until the I
Dad is in full operation; so if the
Dad does not materialize the tax I
viii not be collected. We under
tand that the bonus Mr.. Crosby S
will ask for will be $4,000. which I
viii require tax of about = - q
Mills for ten years. II
The Herald believes that every |
Encouragement should be shown 7
his new railroad project. Our |
own has been afflicted for sew I
raj years with business stagna- I
ion. We cannot afford by indif,1 S
erence or false economy to miss t
NY chance Of improving business c
onditions and keeping abreast in
ldustrial progress. If we still 5

that the policy Of tying certain
number of our ships to some par-
tjcuIar point. and keeping them
permanently stationed there. Is to
rob them of the greater part of
| their value It was recently
pointed ont by Admiral Dewey
that guns mounted on board ship
are ON a sinkablc. unsteady plat
form; that their protection is Inn
tied; and that the range-iludIng
devices on beard ship have a
very limited range Of accuracy.
Gums mounted on shore, on the
other hand are placed on an uu-
sjnkabIc and steady platform; and
being provided with widely sep
aratrd rangc-Ginding apparatus ct
extraordinary accuracy, they are,
Gun for GUN. of very much greater
value than those mounted on
board ship. If our fleet were be-
ing transferred, say from the Pa
cfic to the Atlantic. on emerging
from the Atlantic entrance, IT
would be at a very serious diSad-
vantage were that entrance com
handed by hostile fleet. so drawn
up that ii could concentrate its
fire upon each ship rs it passed
into the open Conditions at the
Atlantic terminus are such that,
ON both sides Of Limon Bay. there
are excellent sites for forts well
advanced on outlying points. The
line joining these sites is 5000
yards in front of the point where
the canal prism reaches a low-Wa-
ter depth sufficient for battleships.
Powerful forts at these two points
would suffice to keep hostile feet
ten or twelve thousand yards dis
tant from the canal entrance; and,
under their protection, our ships
could emerge and form in line of
battle. before moving out to en-
gage the enemy. Similar points
,f vantage are presented at the
Pacific terminus Of the canal by
certain outlying islands that
would admirably command the APP
,roaches.
"The general board says Adj
niral Dewey. considers the prime
biect of Notifications at the
ANAL Zone is to prevent its occu-
'ation by an enemy. and by their
xistence to enable the fleet, free
rom solicitude for the safety of
he canal, to pursue Its legitimate
unctions. whenever hte interests

This week has been one OF low

ieh has been well drenched by :

tatlon was not needed, it has done
no natm. further than TO deln,

advanced and of good size, espec
tally the corn, which has beer

plant cane and stubble continue to
improve and will soon be as thick
as desired. The outlook for a crop
is good AS the season has been very
favorable to this date and the
crops head of any previous April,
planters and farmers are much
encouraged. There seems to be u
very small cloud in their horizon,
however, the prospect OF tariff re
ductlon on sugar and rec has n
tendency to make factory owners
very conservative, and until the
matter is settled definitely no such
prices as heretofore given can be
offered. in fact the buyers are
very quiet and not hustling as
usual. The menace Of free sugar
and rice az foreshadowed from
Washington is very dlsquieting.
Some work is being done in the
sugar houses. Orange Grove will
make a change in its defeating
system, after the experience of last
year. A more reliable system is
being put in. Mr.. Frank Smith,
the able engineer and mechanical
expert has had charge of this
house for some years, giving val
ued service and intelligent man

being overhauled and machinery
given critical examination and
