There is a subject in relation to the dead
very vital to as all-that of burying their
memories away in unbroken silence. We
all know those whodo this, who hem them
selves so closely in with their grief that no
one dares speak Of the dead in their pres
ence, who rob themselves and think it is
the grave that defrauds them. For the
dead are indeed twice dead to us when
their names are never on our lips, when
nothing that was best about them is re-
called, not with sentimental and false eu-
logy, but naturally, as we would speak
mad they bnt just gone somewhere for a
little while For we make the dead live
again when speech Of them and thought Of
Them become part Of our daily life.
The caress and all the human touch may
be no longer ours, and the voice may be
still, but the abiding part remains. There
is the love that we knew; the gentleness
or grandeur Of nature; the nobility the
beauty, the strength, the tenderness Of the
sisters smile; the generous great hearted
action Of the friend; the undaunted candor
of che child The spirit Of none Of these
can die. If we Danish them, it is we who
bereave ourselves, burying the immortal
with the mortal remains Of those whose
glacdened and enriched our days.

upon the death of King Lunalilo
without an appointed successor, it
became necessary to call the legisla-

the old representatives who were to

There was no law fixing their term

fed by taking the oath of office, or
from the date of their election. The
only foreign precedent appeared to he
that of the members of the first

fully alive to the advantage of calling
the old legislature.
The representatives. were sum-
mOned, and chose Kalakaua. A sta
tute was passed in the first year of his
reign fixing the tenure of representa-
tives from date of election.
If the validity of the election had
been contested before Kalakaua was
installed, by taking the oath of Office
and receiving official recognition of
treaty powers, the result would have
been uncertain.
On July 6, 1887, King Kalakaua
signed the present, or fourth, consti-
tuition, which was promulgated July,

from the earlier constitutions, are

ceiving their appointment from the

ton was formally taken by Her Ma
jesty, Queen Liliuokalani, and it is
now the law of the land.

The Pension List.

Washington, June 30.-The New
York World presents 10 paragraph a
vivid idea of the vast growth of pen
sions, which it terms the national debt.
1t says: s,
The pension list of the United States
on the 3lst of May contained Csc, ,3s4
names. This exceeds by $4,000 the
peace establishment of the German
army, The cost of the pension list for
this year will be $l30, ,000, 900. This
exceeds by $50,0O0,0OO the cost of the
greatestanding army Of Germany The
pension disbursements on this basis
represent public debt of over So, 900,
100000 at 8 per cent. The highest
point reached By the bonded war debt
was only So, 700, ,000, 900. After TWEEN
ty.five years of debt-paying unexam-
pied in the history of nations. the
United States are now burdened with
ST. ,000, 900 more annually for interest
on the war debt and for pensions than
they were III 1866.

Editor COURIER:
The days are long, hot and showery.
The cotton crops throughout this sec
tion of the country are beautiful, sell
dom before was there much, if any,
better prospect for heavy yield OF the
staple than the crop in sight to-day.
Corn crops look promising. A few
more rains will make a heavy yield of
the grain.
Cane on most places in Avoyelles is
excellent AS rule the stand is good.
The young cane is growing and doing
finely.
The Irish potato crop, owing to the
early dry season, was cut little
short, but all that have been brought 10
our notice, were of large size and good
quality.
Tomatoes have acted nicely; those
now maturing are perfect beauties.
It has been, until lately, rather too
dry for growing spring and summer
cabbage, but our gardeners have man
aged in some way to grow many very
nice white, plump cabbage.
The Masonic Order of Evergreen are
making arrangements to build nice
hall for the use of the order at that
place.
The crops on Elm Bayou, st. Land
ry, are said to be the best for some
years.
Considerable business is done at
Haas station in shipping slaves and
lumber.
DI. w. D. Haas has had a telephone
line put up from his store to his resi-
dence-a distance of one-fourth mile.
Messrs. Lyle and Knoll have on
their place, near Haas station, very
large, and probably the best all round
crop of corn and cotton In the country
The pastures and grass plats have
improved wonderfully since the late
rains. Stock looks to be in good con
dition.
The health of the country is Of the

Ia the form in which the lottery
question presents itself, the voter is
entirely free to vote on it as lie may
see fit to do. It is to be finally decid-
ed by tile direct action Of the voter at
the polls aud no official to be elected
at the same time will have any luris-
diction or influence whatsoever upon
the question. Consequently, Demo

we would much prefer to gamble that
way than to sit down at cards to win
