NEW MINISTER TO HONDURAS.

The Gazette is glad to note the
appointment of the Hon. John Ew-
ing, the exchange editor of the Dali
" States, as Minister TO Honduras.
The new Minister is brother to
the Hon. Robert Ewing, National
Committeeman from Louisiana, and
proprietor of the States. This APP
pointment is not only compliment
to the profession of journalism, but
is a fit recognition of the debt the
democracy of the State and Nation
owe to Col. Ewing and to the
stanch, clean and able Democratic
newspaper which he publishes. In
this day, when the other New Or
leans papers reek with party de-
nunciation and do not hesitate to
counsel party treason, the course OF
the States stands out in marked
contrast to its city contemporaries,
and that able journal is entitled to
the thanks of Democrats throughout
the State.

A Sharp Advance in Cotton.

Owing to the damage to the crop
in Texas and Oklahoma from the
great drought in those States, there
has been a sharp advance in the
price of cotton in the past ten days
amounting to about 14O points in
the future market. Middling cotton
on Friday was quoted at II and 5-16
cents in New Orleans. The quickness
which the market responded to ad
vices of the crop damage is evidence
of the harm that would be done to
cotton planters by the passage of the
Clarke amendment abolishing trad
ing in options.

A SOUTH LOUISIANA VIEW.

The Gazette has frequently had
occasion to define what it believes
to be the attitude of the people of
North Louisiana towards the Under
wood Bill in all its provisions and
particularly as to the schedule Of that
bill dealing with sugar. In that con-
nection we have expressed the view
that Senators Ransdell and Thornton
have the sincere and earnest sup
port of North Louisiana in any eff
fort they have made or may make
to preserve the sugar industry of
the State by opposing the sugar
schedule at every stage of the pas
sage of the bill, except as to the
vote on its final passage. When that
time arrives, we believe and we
have expressed the unalterable
opinion that it is the duty of the
senators TO vote for the bill.
We are glad that our views are
shared by our able contemporary,
the Lake Charles American Press,
which has always favored and stood
for protection for Louisiana indus
tries and which is published in a
section Of the State where not only
sugar is produced but where lumber
(which is placed on the free list by
the Underwood Bill is manufac-
tured in enormous quantities.
Says the American Press:
Senators Ransdell and Thornton have
done their full duty by the sugar planters
II they were fighting for a God-given
principle, affecting the welfare of nation,
it would be right for them to go down
with it to final and irrevocable defeat !;
but as they are fighting for what is essen
tally business advantage, it is not prop
er that they should be called upon to fore
go all hope Of other advantages to their
State"
They have contended for the interest
OF the sugar planters as long as there was
the faintest hope Of relief for them" says
our contemporary. "Now, we submit,
the sugar planters should thank the SEN
ators for their untiring work and leave
them free to align themselves with their
party on the final vote. Louisiana has
other interests, and its Senators have
other duties than the maintenance of a
tariff on sugar, and the Senators should
not be placed in an embarrassing position
with regard te such duties and interests,
as they undoubtedly will be if they COM
init the final act of defiance to their
party associates.
Senator Ransdell has, since he
went into public life, had the warm
and loyal support of this journal
and no parish in the State gave
him such majority as did Tensas
in his race for the Senate.
The Gazette has always been his
friend and we shall continue to hope,
until the final vote is taken, that be
will not commit the final act OF
defiance to his party associates
which it seems to US would be i'm
piled by recording his vote against
the BILL.

THE EXTRA SESSION

As has been for some time antic-
ipated, Governor Hall has convened
the Legislature in extraordinary
session for September s, for the
sole purpose Of convoking a Consti-
tutional Convention to consider the
question of refunding the State debt
which natures on January 1, 1913.
This action of the Governor is
made imperatiyely necessary by the
impossibility of selling, at this time,
new issue of State Bonds with
which to take up the present issue.
Under existing law the State Board
OF Liquidation was required to re-
fund the present debt by offering
for sale the bonds Of the State bear
ing 4 per cent, the same to be sold
at not less than par and owing to
the present stringency in the money
markets of the world, it has been
found impossible to float the bonds.
Only two courses remain open in
these circumstances to maintain the
credit of the State which would suf-
fer If the debt maturing next jan
uary is not met. Either bonds bear
ing higher rate than 4 per cent
and running for a longer period
must be issued, or short time obi
cations must be provided for to tide
over the interim between maturity
OF the present bonds and the time
when a new issue of four per cents
can be sold.
A Constitutional Convention is,
under the circumstances, the only
method by which these ends can be
reached and the Gazette believes
that the Convention should be linn
tied by the Legislature in its powers
solely to the one question of solving
this State debt problem. In other
words to finding ways and means of
meeting the outstanding bond issue
without going into the Baby bonds
question or any other. There is no
necessity at present for a revision
of our present Constitution as to its
general provisions, and an unlimited
Convention, with agitation of the
liquor question, woman's suffrage
and other issues, would in our 0pin-
ion be calamity at this time. With
tho holl waavil in North Oriaio no
and free sugar in South Louisiana,
the State has enough on its hands
now without any political agitation
of which we had surfeit last year. |
By all means let us have a limited
Convention which shall in a sensi-
bic, patriotic and business-like way
arrange this debt question, spend as
little time and money as possible in
doing so and then adjourn and go
home.

At a special election held on Tues

What might have proved very serious
accident took place last Sunday night on
the plank road opposite the residence Of
Mr.. II. L. Smitha, when an autol.obilt
belonging to the livery stable of II. l..
Smitha & Co., and driven by their chauf-
feur, Albert, ran into COW belonging t.
Mr.. Van Hoose with the result that one
of the front wheels of the car was broker
short off at the axle and the machine was
ditched on the south side of the street,
its further progress being stopped by the
brick curbing of the sidewalk. Mr.. Nor
ris McGraw was the only passenger in the
car and both he and the driver escaped
unhurt. The COW was so badly injured
that it had to be killed.
From Mr.. McGraw we learn that the
car was running at a moderate speed
when the COW suddenly ran right across
the street, in its path, making the acct
dent unavoidable. The incident, however,
calls attention to the danger always pres
ent where cows occupy the roads at night
as they do on almost all our streets and
to the necessity of drivers of cars exer-
cising great care where these conditions
exist.

The administration currency bill ,
the second of the great reform meas
ures to which the Democratic party
stands pledged, was approved by
the House Democratic caucus, on
Thursday, by a vote of 1853 to 8. 1t
is thought that the bill will pass
the house within ten days and that
many Republicans will vote for it.
Possibly, in these circumstances, it
may receive the support of Senators
Ransdell and Thornton when it
reaches the senate.
