An Italian laborer by the name of Salvador Aneelms was shot and kill ed by another Italian, named Seges- foo mond Mereda, in the public road go near the Energy plantatios on last sul Monday. The particulars as reported 0' to the Sentinel were as follows: On' Monday about noon, Anselma and so the sixteen year old sister of Mereds were in a cart returning to Maj. La- err garde's plantation, preparatory to p1 their marriage which was soon to ' follow, when they were met by Mere- Hi ds in the publc road, armed with a sho gun, who stopped them. Ansel- go me and the girl got oat of the cart and the parties began talking about ag the approsekhig marriage.

Very little is known about gi the causes leading up to the trswedy d but it is rumoret that Mereda chaeg- P ed Anselma with baving a wife in fr Italy and for that reason objected to the marriage.

I further showed how he hd tin given us free sugar from Hawaii, and witi how Mr. McKinley had saddled free the trade with that country forever by 1 annexing it. I further showed bow the Demo. nat - crate in congress had fought these tiot projects of annexation and free of l sugar, and bow President Cleveland mi had stood out firmly agytinst the ian Hawaiian scheme. wit I shall now proceed with the his. Carical sketch. nat In later years, when it became tro again necessary to reduce the reve was ones of the government, and to s.ek pin new markets for the manufactured anc t products of the North and Eust, the suq p famous reciprocity doctrine was ee a evolved by the Republican party and gt put in operation by it to the detri o, - the duty on sugar was redoced under h the reciprocity trenties. The doctrine of ,t of reciprocity is still adhered to by the e the Republican party, which in its ca platform of 1896 declared "protec gh y tion and reciprocity are twin mesa ins ores of the Republican policy, and the it go hand in hand." Reciprocity uno inc der the McKinley tariff of 1890 was ,s, practised with sugar producing coun tries, and their sugars were admitted free. ao In still later years, when it again ch ry became necessary to reduce the re of t venues, to stop the accumulation of i a vast surplus in the United States treasury, the Republican party in de e the passage of the famous McKinley tr il. bill of 1890, entitled "An neact to re. of dace the revenue and equalize duties to o' imports, etc.," placed sugar on in the free list, against the protest of isl a the sugar planters of Louisiana. th e. Thus was sugar put on the free of list for the first time in the history of , the country; and to justify their ,, a tction the Republican press and the oil It Republican leaders throughout the p, a ounion preached to the people the a, r beneft of a "free breakfast table," , that is, free sugar. They prenche di this doctrine in the campaigns of '1890 and 1892, with the view of 1 thoroughly indoctrinating the Ameri N can people with their theory of tree a sugar. It is time that in putting t sugar on the free list they allowed s the sougar producers the delusive P st bounty; but this was only a make a shift granted for only 14 years, and a ah' ich would have expired in 1905. d by eHad this arranagement of the Repub. b d lieaso party, regarding sugar, been ro earried out as intended, the inciden a ht, tal protection to segar would have 0 been doomed foreve*a . After fiftteen U years of tree engar, the American to people would have been loath to see ure a tariff again placed on 1it, and as for the bounty, it proved so unpopular Sthat no party would have dared to advocate its extension. c as In 1894 the Democrats repealed the the unpopular bounty and restored o-sengar to its former position on the to dutiable list. True, the duty was me. not as high as we could wish, but in ken the face of strong Republicanm op.I pte pnition a return to correct priuci. pies was effeted and the sugar - In. ie. dustry was saved trom the impending best doom wiuch was certain to overtake rs, I ,t t the expiration of the bounty, I t i*, had the precartoous condition in which wn, the Republicans had put it been al-. ori-. lowed to continue to exist ous It is tree that after the Democrats' ion had reblased the way by putting pro asugar back on the dutable list, a or. Republian congless raised the duty isals on saenr in the general tarnff law of 1897, but is it possible that our Re , O. publican sgar planmters have already forgottea the part which ,enator Mcoery and our three congressmen irom this section plnyed in securing anod that favor for sugar ? If they have, cres the people have not. in t Such is the brief hi tory of the pat, past treatment of our sugar industry We by the Republican party. He must are be an optimist of a most pronounced que type who ern see in it a "confident fact guarantee" of the continued protee- are tion to sugar by the Republican be party. mal Indeed, to deduce such a condclu-. ll sion from the past treatment of so ca gar by the Republican party, one exe must believe that It is with Republi- T. cas promises and Republican perfor. will maneas u it is said to bt the case Thi with dreams : 'they go by contra en riei" mil I notice that the Democratic con- sate rention which recently sat at Lfa. " ypette paid its compliments to the witl New Iberia pattform-makers, andt yo called pointed attention to some im- in I portant omnlassions in the Republi are can plank now under eonsideration. Wit This is what the Democratic con. Ua vention had to say about these oms sions: Stu ,,We call the attention of the Ipen feel pie of the Third congressional district pee to the *ignificant fact that the plat ble form adopted by the Republican par the ty at Iberia has no word of condem- cilt nation for the McKinley admiuistra- roo tion in anexing to the United States car the Hawaiian islands, thereby put- eitl ting on the markets of the United gre States in free and open competition lea with American sug ar producers twice mo the amount of sugar pioduced in ere Louisiana. ,,That there as no word of condem- for nati mn of the McKinley administra- ma tion for the annexation of the island sea of Porto Rico producing nearly as the much sugar as is produced in Louis- the isns in free and open competition We with the Louisiana producer. ter "That there is no word of condem- Ste nation for the McKinley administra- str tion, that an unjust and unwarranted Ye war is being conducted in the Phillip- cal pine islands to hold the archipelago Cu and place upon American market Tit sugar produced by Coolie labor, ex ceeding the production of the Unit, d I tates, as well as qu:antities of rice, to compete with American producers r "There is no word of condemuation no of the MlcKiuley administratin for da the failure of that administratmon to carry out the pledge of congress, to give the island of Cuba a free and ne independent government, but instead th the McKinley administration has pr indorsed, while it is attempting and as striving to hold the island of Cuba as 0 a part and parce. of this country, and place on the markets of this countr. al sugars produced on that island by cheap labor, amounting to one-half gi of the consumption of suagas in the , 'f United States. ",That there is no word of con- it a demnation of the .McKinley aulmimins- m S tration for violating the constitution in e of the United States by imposing a tariff on second-grade rice produced w a in this district ani exported to the I island of Porto Rico, and finally, that there is not a word of condemnation e of the McKinley administration for semiudtny Mr. John A. Kasson to L itr negotiate treaties with countries pro- - Sdlucing sugar and rice by which the l present tariff rate on those articles I are reduced to the detriment of the I lugar and rice producers of this b SNow, there; we wonder what the i New Ieria p!aifrm-wakera have to oe say to this.

Stobbs, the director of the United States Agricultural REx led periment Station at Anudubon Park, he announced yesterday that he had de a veloped a sugar case which would in yield 30 per cent more sugar than the ap. product now grown in the State, and aci- would well-nigh revolutionise the *n- sugar jindustry in Louisiana. I '"Six 3ears ago," ~said Dr. Stubbs, ty, in speaking of the sulbject yesterday ich with a Times-Democrat reporter, "we -I receival a large number of various canes from Tiinidad. We promptly ang began to ewperimeent We tried to a asecertian which canse was best adapted Oty for this climate. We made a score r· o or more of experiments and carefully R compared the resa't'. We wanted to stir get a cae that would find ready and ien congenial growth here in LoutOana. and that wouldL 4t the same time in crease the sugar output for the acreage in this State. "I am delighted to say that our patience has at length been rewarded. We now have two kinds.of cane that are hiSh'y successful. They are un questionably a great deal more satis factory than the best cane known here for many years. In my opinion th,-y are the most valuable canes that can be grown in Louisiana soil. Th'.y make what our agricultural experts call an ideal specimen. We have classifed them as "T. 95' and 'T, 74.' "To the lay public there is nothing exceedingly significant In those words 'T. 74;' but to the sugar planter they will be nothing less than startling. This cane produces thirty eight tons to the acre. The juice yields 16 per cent of sugar. Under a nine-roller mill, 81 per cent is obtained without saturation. "If you will compare these figures with statistics of cane now grown, you will realize that this new cane will revolutionize the sugar industry in Louisiana. The old cane gives no acreage of thirty to thirty-five tonrs, with a 12 per cent yield in the juice. Under the roller it gives a percen tage of 61. "The new cane," continued Dr. Stnbbs, is long-.jointed, green, per fectly healthy and beautiftl in ap pearance. It has an excellent stub- er ble and remarkable vigor it withstood the terrific gale that swept over the Wi city on Sept. 9 and 10. It is deep rooted and strong and was the o.I cane in the field that was not blown sh1 either fiat or partly down to the! ground. It was not damaged the least by the storm. On Sunday morning it was standing perfectly erect. ,,We are ready and willing to furnish this cane to any planter who thl may apply for It. We expect to send out more than 500 bundles in the next few weeks. Requests for the cane are coming in on every mail. We shall begin to snip the cane in a few days. Planters throughout the an State show intense interest and have gt( strong faith in the new specimens. Next week we shall send some of the SI cane to the experiment stations oin Cubl and the Hawaiian Islands." Times Demotrat. Fregremive Lerage.
