An Object Lesson.
Last Saturday evening a colored
man was seen trading in town, pay.
ing for has purchases with Acadia
labor tickets. He was asked how
grinding was getting on on the pi.-..
tation, and whether there was enough t
help to save the crop. His reply
was that every thing was going nice
ly and that the plantation had all
the hands neetted, and added that
laborers liked to work there because
they got their pay every night on I
tickets and were free to trade wher
ever and with whomsoever they
wanted. The tickets are taken as t
cash every where, sal a laborer with t
them is hi. peakets tesk jest lhke a
man with so many silver- dollars, as
free and tndellswlent It was not i
like working moii'b in and mouuthl
out, without ever seeiz.g a dime. Th.'
picture of the situation ti'awn by this
sImple colored laborer is as object,

A Heavy Loss.
A very heavy loss was sustained I
by Mrs. C. C. Williams on her plan
tation situated near Lafourebui Cross I
ing, a few miles from Thibodaux by
fre last Tuesday morning. Her large c
plantation stable containing about I
three thousand barrels of corn, several
wagons and carts, goodl many tons of
buy, most of the ageiitatural i:nimle.
mentis and two 6o sea and eigts tin
mules were entirely consumed by lire. I
The Thibodaux lire engine with I
men hurried to the sene to assist to
checking the conflagration, but it was
found to b.' impossible iac account, of
the searcity of water. The lo'ss is !
said to be between $7,000 and $8.0011,
and as is generally the case there
was no insurance. Diflerent theories
are of course afloat as to the or~gin
of the fire but nothing definite is
known.

The Passenger Train Wrecked
News reached town last Saturday I
night of a wreck which happened on I
the Texas and Pacific branch road,
between Donaldsonville and Thibo. I
daux, on the Bell Alliance plantation. I
It seems that the switch on this side I
of Bell Alliance station was partly t
open and when the passenger train
came bounding by, it of course ran I
into the open switch throwing the I
engine into a ditch on one side, and
the baggage car on the other side, the c
coaches not being derailed nor dam
aged. The fireman, Mr. Clint E. El.
kins was inetantly killed and the Mn I
gineer, Mr. Tom Bryan very badly I
bruised, but not seriously injured. I
Mr. Elkins remains were sent to his c
home in Illinois. He leaves a devot. I

death. While we had not formed the I
acquaintance of Mr. Mikins, still we t
have been told that he was an ener- t

railroad officials. We regret very
much this sad occurrence.

Let Us Offer Our Thanks.
The President has named Thursday,
November 28th as a day of Thanks
giving and prayer. This is a custom
I which has been faithfully observed
since the days of Washington and the
day so set apart has been made a
legal holiday. We have a good deal
to be thankful for. Though, as the
President says, we mourn the death
at the hands of the assassin of our
beloyed President, Mr. McKinley, and
the sorrow is still felt and seen, still
we have so enase tA complain as a
nation. Prosperity has blessed our
jple everywbhee, and no period in
the history of any country has seen a
people make such rapid staides in all
that go to make them great and
prosperous. In commercial, agricul
tural, industrial and manufacturing
enterprises we lead the world. It i.
no longer the infant nation futlowrng
in the footsteps of and trying to keep
L.p with an older one, but a giant
itself leading the van.
We have, however, difficult prob.
lems to solve. The war with Spain
has furnished us serious and perplex.
lug ones. The Phillipines Islands,
though our own require an army of
over 50,000 men to keep them under
subjection, and the raids now and
then made on the bare footed half clad
poorly fed Filipinos, are gradually
but surely thinning our ranks neces.
sitating constant re enforcement
Must we exterminate them all to
establish a peaceable stable govern
ment ? Something must be done.
It costs money and lives to carry on
business in our far off possessions.
and whal, we may be willing to spend
the money with a view of getting it
back we cannot consent to let our
sons go to the slaughter. Till now
we have received ro beneft from that
quarter. Porto Rico is quiet and
everything seems to go on harmon.
iousiy there, but we have seen no
good yet from our "occupr.ney ant
ownership" of that island. Now
comes the koverty problem : What
are we going to do with Cuba-the
Pearl of the Antilles? Shall we also
annex her, or give her people free
government under an American pro
tectorate, just to keep our promise to
the world, and then add her also to
our newly acquired poseesuions ? In
the meantime will we cose our ports
to her goods, or let her sugar come
in, free of duty, and thus cripple our
Louisiana industry? These are
serious queltuoss and we hope Mr.
Roosevelt will show more ability in
grappling with them than he did with
the negro question. President Me
Kinley was a wise far seeing man
and could be safely trusted when
these grave matters arose May our
young President be equal to the
emergency.
Meanwhile let us in obedience to
the proclamation of the President
and in accordence with a tlme'honor.
ed custom assemble in our houses of
worship on the 28th inst. and offer
thanks to God for the many blessings
we as a people have recelte4 from
him.
The Thanksgiving number of The
Lasdies Home .lonroal is replete with
good fiction and interesting and novel
features. It opens alppropriately with
an article which tells "Where the
President's Turkey Comes Froma."
Then tisere are delightful sturles by
Hezelkiah butterworth and Laura
Spencer Porter, and a new love story
called "'.Jhristinc," by Frederick M.
Smith. Cleveland Mofiett has an
interesting story about Ira ID. S~ankey,
the great evang.'hiat, and &dith King
Swain recounos the famous accents
she has made 'u various parti of thej
world. Will Bradley's original de-.
cigna for a house begin with the
breakfast room, and Wilson Kvre, Jr.,
presents plans fo~r a country house
and a garden. M1r. Bok gives much
good advice to young married couples
in hia editorial. Another most time-!
ly feature is **Why Should a Yonng~
Man Support the Church ?" by the
Rev. Francis ii. Clark. Many home
made Christmas gifts are shown. and
the first of "The Journal's Amusing
Puzzles" appear. The regular dte
pertments are excsptaonally good and
the illuetratlons superb. By The
