There's a good time coming, boys, There's a good time coming, There's a good time coming, boys, And'it won't be long coming. . : Yes, that refinery is coming, and S t's coming as soon as the dense financial clouds roll by, which surely ought to happen at an early day, : and the people should then get to gether and make an united and strong pull, and the refinery will be a reality. We have sailed one course and i then another, and nothing has been I accomplished. The reason would seem to be because our efforts were directed against insurmountable ob stacles. Consequently, it seems to us, it would redound to our ad vantage to concentrate our ener gies and direct them in a channel that promises suceess. . The Gazette has demonstrated in preceeding issues that there is no i, better investment than in a sugar a refinery, and it is particularly so in - Lafayette, when the possibility of t cane acreage is considered. It is no stretch of imagination to assert that within a radius of six miles at least 5o,ooo tons of cane could be raised. This would mean $200oo,-ti ooo to our farmers, and the town would receive the biggest share of it. i m .In our estimation it is the only industry that would enhance, im- w mediately, the prosperity of our ti city. It would not only enrich the lit town people, but the farmer's would th be much, a great deal, better off. cc And the most encuraging feature uI of it is that with a little effort and cl contributions sufficient to form a sa reasonable bonus, it would be a th reality inside of twelve months. pl Other communities appreciate the in; value of refineries, and are making wl strenuous efforts to get them, as can be seen by reading the follow- chI ing taken from the Times-Democrat: the The people of Iberia parish recognize the importance of central sugar factories, and the have set about securing them in the right way by offering liberal inducements for their Qt construction. Iberia will raise a splendid crop of cane this year-the largest it has ever grown- the and the outlook is so good that there is talk scI of increasing the acreage in cane next year 25 per cent. The increase will be even tirT more, if the construction of central factories do, assures the grinding of all produced. A committee has been at work in Iberia but seeing what inducements can be offered his capitalists to construct the desired factories there. The handsome returns secured by car those factories already in operation would, one might imagine, be snfficient inducement to capital to embark in this enterprise, but flo the Iberians offer a great deal more. They bre are perfectly willing to give all the necessary ground for the factories and but to build eight miles of railway by which the ir cane can be conveyed to them front the plantations, and the Police Jury has agreed nan to exempt any factory from parish taxation do! for the period of ten years. These are certainly liberal terms, and we pen have no doubt will be accepted. They are the said to be under consideration in New Or leans to-day. In the present financial strin- like gency there will naturally be some let up bloc in the matter, but as soon as the clouds clear away, which we may look fir any day, b-l the negotiations will be reopened, and we dos have little doubt that they will meet with success. There is no better investment for A capital than a central sugar factory, as the experience of those already in operation za, shows. nmo PREMA TURE STA 'E MAK- P. ING. leave Bills are pendingin n the Senate 1i providing for the admission of New mili Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Okla- sout homa as States, but if the Senate gus will heed the lessons taught by the who past it will make haste slowly in re- tion casting into States our present terri- ish. torial raw material. Some of the ise new Rocky Mountain States might ishe well have waited awhile, both for peoy their own good and the good of the whic nation at large. As for Oklahoma, turn she is far from being fit as yet for the Statehood. The Mormon question incre is not fully settled, and its final sat- tion isfactory settlement will be easier forts with Utah still remaining a territory. Post Ner Mexico and Arizona united might, perhaps, assert some claim sale to admission as a single State, but is as the combination is undesirable and Ite character of the population fors does not qualify it for statehood. prict There need be no hurry in promo- price tpon of any one of these applicants. lot There has been altogether too much who atef premature state-making. field, T" A TE GA UiVNT KNIG/T. term The editor of the Advertiser un- cott -icessarily allowed his temper to TI get the best of his judgment, and in- decic S dlgad in hlgage of extermination, upon e last edition of his paper, be- provi The Gazette saw fit to make the a remarks on an article of his the e _ i, ed in a preceding issue of and t - a h ulc .h . h shall zetti was within the lines of legiti - e urnalism, ie shall quote A'' from the record. In its issue of the 12th ult., the Advertiser said: The Clerk of the Police Jury, Mr. R. C. TON Greig, in utter disregard of his duty delays giving us the Police Jury proceedings Why did it not stop there? The econd sentence would have been complete, and the whole matter, as a result, )3" would have been one between it and Mr. Greig, and had The Ga zette taken exceptions thereto, it could, with some reason, be called a "gratuitous intermeddler." Then and why did the editor add, and wnse we call especial attention to the words we have italicized: --owing to the fant that his personal frisnds ay, is the office of 77Te Gazette have to be t to- served first. and This last clause we considered an I be unnecessary interpolation, and we did not so characterize it and at the time simply because the intel xeen ligent readers could see it for them uld selves ; and upon this uncalled for rere sentence The Gazette felt it its ob- right to comment, and in doing so, let us repeat, we were within the us, bounds of legitimate journalism. ad- - We beg the reader to notice well ter these words of the Advertiser: el * * * owing to the fact that his personal friends in the office of The Gazette have to be served tirst. I in In our rejoinder, Aug. 19, we said no in substance that the writer got gar mad in -because the Secretary gave The Gazette of the proceedings of the Police Juryfirst. Any discrepancy between the two statements ? Is not the meaning, and the wording nearly,-the same. Yet the editor of the Adver tiser has the brazen assurance to ' say in its issue of the 26th: The statement that there is any other it. motive for our complaint is untrue. sly Who said there was ? It is true m- we added near the end of our ar- t >ur ticle the words "and lead us to be- I :he lieve that every one not biased saw e ild through the pretext," which was a corollary to the article commented t ire upon, and in nowise contained a ) ad charge, therefore when the editor ii a said that ' the statement that P a there is another motive for our com- I is. plaint is untrue," he was only "talk he ing in his hat and interviewing his b ng whiskers." L as The editor then solemnly pro- G v- claims war. We presume, war to Lt: the knife, and the knife to the hilt. T, ze Now, in reviving and assuming id the role of .the gaunt khight Don hl ir Quixotte de la Mancha-a charac- Ia ter evidently not ill-suited to him- cc the editor of the Advertiser has gc 1k scored a decided hit. The next nr n time that -he feels the "heat running es down his collar band,' and nothing ar ia but red, yea, red gore will appease in d his fiery and sanguinary ardor, he th y can don his armor and sally forth, be 1, cap-a-pie, and make a dash on the al. it in t flock of sheep that occasionally ha y browse on the court house green, th. i but if the game is too tame, he can nia e rein about his old war steed, Rosi- ro d nante, and charge the wind mill de close by, dismount, ascend, dam- a * pen the forefinger, rub it against it the red paint, glare around, and an like Fattaer Boniface, imagine it is sit blood, then shriek out : "'b-l-u-d, be b-l-u-d." He will surely bring ab down the house. of And by all means let Sancho Pan- for za, at the same time, make a flank an, movement on the depot windmill. pa P.

Bernard Foster visited Ver- a, fer milion and Lafayette parishes in ma southwestern Louisiana, and was the tak guest of Sheriff B3roussard from dit whom he received many kind atten- wh tions during a trip through his par- whi ish.

The Septaenber Arena. be Among the contributors to the September Arena are George C. Douglas who has a San most thoughtful paper on "A Money Famine and in a Nation Rich in Money's Worth"; Hon. it V. H. Standish writes about "'Seven Facts About Silver"; among the other subjects presented are "'An Inquiry Into the Law of em- Cure," "Moral and Immoral Liitcrature," for "Japan and iHer Relation to Foreign Pow its ers," "The Currency Problem Through a so, Vista of Fifty Years," "Spiritual Phenome the na from a Theosophic View," and a Study of Benjamin Franklin." The Bacon-Shaks peare Controversy by eminent critics of Eu well rope and America is continued. The Book Reviews are also able and interesting.

To the Editor L.afayctte G c;atte: ig The old adage ''time w.ill teil" )n has been verified in t!e late road contract of fifty miles, granted since I last year to one individual for the consideration of S<ooo a ;ear, Las as gone to the bottom as prediicted !by ' xt nany. at g Now, if my metnorv i.; right, an article was presented by :.Ir. J. C. 1g Couvillon to the Police Jury, "i-- rt e ing his mode of operation, dividing c" te the fifty miles into five ten mile Rla beats, to contractor:: granting th;em a, about the same privilege :.tiliated in in said contract, thiclh woutL reat ity1 g'i' i have found contractors to take upll) , the work at once and il less titan n ninety days every inch of said . road would have been put in or- an 11 der, in accordancr e with the con- i rd tract; besides thle advantage of t- having good roads the first year, In: t it would cost less the second year, A. d and still less the tiird year. Con s sidering the whole the parish would I be better off one hundred per cent cou than it is now. with half-worked and i Jos g abandoned roads left to the mercy bpef of roads hands, which will, as hereto- the fore,cause agood deal of hard scuffle of I k and discontentment throughout the temn parish, as the season for moving for fair the crops and the winter wood is at a hand, and the roads in a deplora- hers ble condition. Judging from the dite past it woult be much better to of- met fer the fifty miles of roadts to as 24 Smany contractors who will under e take the work under the same con a dition granted to Mr. Saterfield who could not fulfill his contract. T By all means, we needtl goo roadtls, by why not try the abovet.plan; no a doubt, it will find ready hands toa - put them in good traveling condi Stion, if not in proper condition as per contract, the season being so Ag far advanced, but better late than -never.
