DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. For Congress: ROBT. F. BROUSSARD. For Member State Board of Equalization. A. M. MARTIN. A Northern Outrage. N. 0. States. The newspapers have recently been full of an outrage perpetrat ed against "the brother in black," but this time the diaboli cal deed was committed in the North, yea even in the sacred city of New York where almost daily mobs find exciting sport in chasing negroes through the streets without much being said about it. The particular out rage to which we have referred has to do with Ota Benga, the African pigmy, who for a num ber of weeks had been the most important exhibit at the New York Zoological gardens. It ap pears that Director Hornaday had given Ota Benga the freedom of the Primate House, commonly called the monkey cage. The monkeys received Ota on terms of perfect equality and the small savage enjoyed his quarters hugely, no doupt feeling that he had been thrown with some dis tant but kindly relatives. It happens that Ota is of a low 1 order of intellect, very much of a savage in fact, and sternly op posed to wearing cutaway coats, striped trousers and spats. The other day the keepers had much 1 difficulty in persuading him to keep his clothes on while they i soaked him with a garden hose, 4 and preventing him, after he had been persuaded by force, from I slashing one of them with a knife. This treatment a'f Ota when the negro preachers discovered that he was one of their own i people, resilted in a protest and a demand that he be taken out of the monkey cage and sent to a school for colored boys. This has been done and it is proposed to educate Ota and give him a job in Africa as a missionary which is good and proper. However, it is not difficult to imagine what a hullabaloo would have been rais ed had a benighted human being from "Africa's sunny fountains" been exhibited anywhere in the South in a cage of monkeys. We may be sure of it that President Roosevelt, whose heart is beating strongly for the colored man as the congressional elections ap proach, would have ordered the federal district attorney to pros ecute and imprison for violation of the laws against peonage every person implicated in the outrage. But for more than a month Ota Benga, late of Africa, was the star attraction in the monkey cage of the New York Zoo and there was no thundering from Oyster Bay against the outrage and no orders to prosecute any body. From all accounts the monkeys were pleasad, the people who visited the Zoo were pleased and so was Ota until they tried to make him wear clothes and get him in trim to be an en thusiastic Republican voter.

By reference to another column it will be found that it is possible to construct fine roads in this part of the country for the small sum of $1478.40 per mile. Under the direction of the United States governmnut the experiment was made with just such soil as prevails lore, and the results have been satisfac tory. Some tine ago it was pointed out that macadamized roads could be made for a minimum of $2uU0 per mile if the material was near :t hand. It is possible that in this country freight rates might increase the cost to a cer tain extent, but with the new plan the material is right on the ground and the actual cost is figured out to a nicety. It might perhaps be lowered by good management, but it need not be exceeded. The question is would it not pay the parish authorities to ex pend this amount of money in making good roads? According to the statistics there are about one hundred miles of main thoroughfares in this parish that are used daily when in condition by the thirty-odd thousand per sons in the territory. The total cost of making these perfect in all kinds of weather under the new plan would be $147.480. Under the present plan of keep ing up dirt roads that are unu sable in wet weather and useless for a large portion of the year the cost is about $15,000 per year. In ten years at this rate $150,000 is expended and the roads are in no better conition at the end of that time than at the beginning. In the last thirty years enough money has been thrown away on repairing bad roads to have constructed per haps as much as 250 miles of good roads. There is absolutely nothing to show for the money expended. This winter the roads will be as useless as if nothing had been done to them, and yet hundreds of thousands of hard-earned money has been poured into them. Does it not stand to reason that it would be better to expend $150.000 at once and provide good roads instead of continuing to throw good money after wasted funds? Cane Crop. Louisiana Planter.

Hi or Josh play with a farmer hand or a threshing machine, but is a distinct novelty and departure from the well worn } ath of the regulation farmer play. The kids are live lier than any ten of Uncle Josh's you have ever seen and they are too bright to be worked by a bunco man or a lightning rod agent: in fact, they are two up to-date rustlers for fun that will give you the bestevening's am use ment you have had in years. The kids will be assisted by a first class company of ladies and gen tlemen,who in addition to the play, will introduce ten musical num bers and specialties.
