An Italian laborer by the name of

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. Mereda e
told Asdems that be should not pr
marry has sister, and followed up fa
this declaration by dischargsing his ev
effect in the eight side sad perfora- tb
ting the liver. Not satidaed with th
inflicting a death wound Mereds best of
the dying man over the head with the th
gun barrels inlicting several ghstly tiy
wounds upon head and face of de
ceased. 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. The coroner's jury h

the above facts. Sheriff Beary eap- t

On the »epublean Congr estonal
Platform, Adapted at New Iber. ia
Nee
In my last paper, the space at my call
command did not permit me to con port
elude the brief historical review of can
the past treatment of sugar by the I
Republican party, in which the Re. ven
publican platform-amakers of this sior
congressional district profess to oind
a guarantee for the eontinued protec pie
tion that party will afford. tot
I therein showed how Presideut fort
Grant, aided by a large Republican t
following in congrees, had trieJ to tior
force the sanexation of San Domn
go which would have given us free th
sugar. 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

ee Will Uvolaoaise Tb.e sugar la
for ttr.
to Dr. William U. 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."
