The Louisiana planters and pro-!"1 or representati vh in the an , , , . , I nual conference, which is to be held unrei n oi oiiiir in tr iii.ikiii ii ut-i ri - mined stand against the proposed j reduction of the tariff on sugar, con-! tending that any considerable re- j duction iu the duties would ruin the I domestic production of cane sugar ; and that free sugar would annihilate ; the cane and beet sugar industries j of the country. They declare that! it would kill the Louisiana industry I - i upon which two million American! citizens depend for a livelihood. It is therefore not surprising that at ' least a few Southern members of Congress occasionally break away i from the Democratic platform and ' votefor a protective tariff on certain articles of Southern commerce when there is such a loud clamor at home ! for such a course. These members! are not ignorant of the fact that to ' vote otherwise than their constitu- encies dictate would mean their po litical death and oblivion.

The "brethren" of the Ruin Creek colored church (a rather significant name) near Dabney are having no end of trouble just at this time, and the spirit of harmony and brotherly love seems to have entirely departed s from among them for the time being.
