I familiar quotation of the "tide in ! the affairs of meu," that life has a supreme occasion which men must

As with men so with nations and I with municipalities—a crisis of existence comes which must be met

! with courage and resolution, or we (sink into a desuetude which can-j not even lie called innocuous.

New Iberia has now reached just such a crisis, aye the day of her supreme opportunity is fixed and August 31st will prove of what metal her manhood is made. She will decide on that eventful day whether she deserves to grow into a city of wealth and fame, or; whether she is contented with the stunted life of an insignificant vil­lage.

Suffragans, who fuel a patriotic' pride in the land of your birth or j adoption; who think that your skies are fairer and your waving prairies more beautiful than were ever given to man since the angel with flaming sword guarded the gate of Paradise ; who believe that your manhood is braver and your woman­hood is sweeter than ever graced the halcyon days of medi- ;

The meeting on Friday night in the interest of the Industrial School and Municipal Improvements wa-

; quite largely attended by an car-nest and intelligent audience of tax-payers. It was an ample proof to even the casual observer, that our good people are not to be swayed by the idle words of ignor­ance and her twin sister—preju­dice; but they mean to do their own thinking, and arc open to conviction when a cause is stronglv fortified by facts and reason

.Mr. I\. S. McMahon. acting pres­ident of the Joint Committee called the meeting to order and presented

C. Kramer as chair-Kramer, after aeknowl-honor conferred upon i brief resume of the

Industrial School movement. He showed conclusively that the joint committee was formed in the most democratic way, and that their plan of action was a resultant of numer­ous suggestions from individual members. The formulation of the' plan was given over to two of our ablest attorneys, Messrs. Walter J.

Burke and Kdward T. Weeks, were thoroughly competent t< tect it from all legal llaws am; barassmetits. We now liavi plan as it has issued from hands. It is designed to give us a maximum of improvements with a minimum of taxation. Mr. Kra­mer stated that this now was the only plan before us, and its rejec­tion would mean a backset to our town from which it would never recover.

The chairman then introduced Mr. E. T. Weeks, who addressed the audience on the Bond Issue. His happy points and clinching ar­guments met with frequent ap-

the engine front part the water si ty.

He then s;ti<l this explanation is made to show that there is no foun­dation for the statement that voting the school tax will prevent our get­ting the other improvements. That the two are entirely independent. That the school tax in no way affects the bond issue except favorably, by showing that we are alive to the advantages of manual training, and in inspiring investors with con tidence in the future of the town. That while some think we are paying a good deal for the school, yet the more we pay the more we get, and the better the school. That a cheap institution would not be worth having.

Miss Lizzie White was next in­troduced. She rendered with her sweet and cultured voice the beau­tiful song '"(irood-hye Sweet Day." S h e r e p l i e d o n c e t o a n e n c a r t , though the audience which caught the spell of her delightful music wanted still more. Miss Bessie Lourd accompanied the songs on the piano with her own delicate and inimitable touch.

Then came the great treat of the evening. When the chairman in­troduced Prof. B. C. Caldwell, president of the State Normal School, he was greeted with pro­longed applause. Prof. Caldwell lias devoted Iiis life to educational work, and has especially studied the practical side of education. In all things pertaining to industrial schools, he knows whereof he; speaks. Mr. Caldwell compared the two methods of education ; namely, the one that merely fills the j mind of the youth with the wisdom which is furnished by books, the I other that teaches him how to use his own thoughts and produce i something.

That this is to be suggested to the council as the method of liquidating the bonds. That examining into these funds, we find that the market is already producing over five thousand dollars of net revenue per annum. That Alexandria whose lights and water rates were fixed at an extremely low rate, merely to cover the oper­ating expenses, is deriving from this a net revenue of nearly two thousand dollars. That this is the smallest profit derived from the plants of any of the more consid­erable towns of the State and that we can safely estimate that our plant will produce two thousand dollars per annum.

He than said that Lake Charles and other towns have found that before capital would construct such I • ., , - , „ plants, the municipal authories I the value of our cast-off pro-were obliged to show their faith in the enterprise by contracting to take annually a certain number of lights and water hydrants paying therefor a specified annual sum. That we cannot expect to get some­thing for nothing, and to get lights and water, our town must expect to agree to take lights amounting annually to about two thousand dollars and water plugs in a like sum, and devote these amount the interest and sinking fund of the bonds each year. That this is as little as the town can hope to get lights and water for. That adding these different sums together, we would have annually two thousand

Answering for the Enterprise, we desire to say, that as a member of the City Council, its editor moved that the plan for a five mill special tax presented by Capt. E. T. King be given publication, though the Council was convinced of its impracticability because of its ille­gality. This document was 6pread upon the minutes and published in our columns. Later a communica­tion pretending to draw a compar­ison betweeu this plan, and the plan legally before the people, was presented us for publication. Be­lieving that we had wasted sufficient space on the ill-matured produc­tions of this gentleman, we refused this latter document. Hearing from the gentleman who handed us the communication that Dr. Alfred Du­perier had prepared an article against the proposed special tax and bond issue, which, by-the-way, did not seem to meet the approval of our caller, we signified a desire to pyblish the document. We are now free to say, however, that if the production was the same that is now being circulated in circular form, had it been handed us for publication, it also would have been refused admission to our col­umns,unless there had been expung­ed therefrom the vindictive per­sonalities which make up one-half of the document.

School would revolutionize not only the thought, but the action of the entire community. The professor gave a most beautiful pen picture of the resources of Southwest Louisiana. We have only com­menced their development. There is at our very doors UNTOLD WEALTH UNDEVELOPED. How can we reach it? By training our young people what this soil is, what it contains and of what it is capable.

Prof. Caldwell drew a very amusing comparison between the gentleman planter and the indus­trious farmer. There is uncom-puted wealth wasted on our planta­tions every year. First, there is waste from that carelessness of cultivation, which is the result of gentlemanly leisure ; seco n d 1 y, there is waste from our not know-

have increased to about three hundred in all departments, and from the beginning have manifested the greatest enthusiasm for the work. This intense interest in the work had at first to be so modified as not to interfere with the regular prosecution of the intellectul or class-room work pro­per. After some experimenting the two lines of work were harmoniously adjusted to each other. Roys and girls pass from their algebra and history to their drawing, wood-carving, or clay modeling, and from those again to geometry and English literature, with a hearty zest for all. The girls in the domestic economy department con their Virgils or don their cooking suits, and prepare with ease and grace such savory and palatable food as would mollify the most radical opponent of industrial training. In short, there is such a har­monious blending of the useful and the practical with the higher intellectual cul­ture, that the unprejudiced needs but to inspect the work to be convinced of the reasonableness and great utility of such training. The advantages of the manual department are open to none except pupils of the public schools. Those who take the manual-work do the same amount of men­tal work in the regular class-room studies as those who have no work in the industrial department

In the days when one or two in­dividuals had a monopoly of the few store buildings in which the business of the town was conduct­ed, it was possible to command sixty per cent more rent for this property than is charged to-day, when their grip has slipped and these same antiquated structures have been supplemented by numer­ous other more commodious business houses, in keeping with the needs aud tastes of the progressive mer­chants who occupy them, thus bringing down the cost of rents ; hence a more equitable division of profits between landlord and the man of activity who makes it pos­sible for the former to enjoy the fruits of unearned increment. By the way, who has ever heard of a landlord paying taxes? Does he not simply staud Jas intermediary between the State aud tenant, charging an enormous commission for his labor ; and as in the case of the Iberia and Vermillion R.

The liberal business men who rent from sordid land­lords have no objection to paying higher rents if they are given the opportunity of doing business jus­tifying such rents. It is to the crédit of New Iberia that but few of her landlords are so illiberal.

He men­tioned the possibilities of scieutific dairy productions. He computed the returns from this source alone as SURPASSING THE VALUE OF OUR ENTIRE SUGAR CROP. Some of the professor's figures were simply

That this plan will pay the whole debt withiu 20 years, aud is clearly feasible. That while some may doubt the ability of the town to pay four thousand
