The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1896-02-08

The grand sacred concert which
is proposed to be given on the %,
inst, was organized Tuesday, and
the ladies and gentlemen who
gave their assistance are now pre-
pairing for this grand, and novel
attraction. This concert will be a
treat to our people, and will sur
pass anything ever heard in this
place. We will have more to say
regarding this matter in our next
issue.
Our Democrats of both fac
tons are now trying to explain to
the voters how they can be Demo
Gratis and oppose the Democratic
platform. Surely the Democratic
convention never thought of the
trouble in which they put the 10.
cal candidates when they adopted
that suffrage amendment plank.
The candidates are SO anxious to
explain this amendment, that they
forget to talk of themselves.
The St. Martinville Building
and Loan Association elected their
officers Tuesday, who are: L. G.
Duchamp, president, R. Martin,
vice-president and Carlos Greig,
secretary and treasurer. Saturday
last the association sold $500
which was bid in by Raphael Ker-
Logan, at a premium of 25 per
cent. Tuesday another sale OF
$500 was made and bid by MIR. L.
G. Gauthier at a premium Of 3G
per cent. These loans, and those
that will follow at short intervals
will have the effect Of booming
the association.
The ladies of this town have
organized grand sacred concert
at the Catholic church, for the
purpose of raising funds to pay
the great organ that has just been
placed in the church. The instru
ment is fine one, it has cost
large sum of money, and it is JUS
that our people help defray thu
cost of this needed instrument
The concert will take place on, o.
about Sunday February 23rd. w
hope that our people will give th'
ladies all the assistance they need
to make this concert a splendi'
success.

THE DEVASTATION OF TREES.
American Forests Being Rapidly Converted
Into Open Space.

The devastation of trees still goes on
in various parts of the country which,
unlike New York and few Of the east
ern states, do net appreciate the value
of trees. Unhappily this appreciation
in the east has come too late. A west
ern paper announces that large syndi-
cate has acquired possession of 10000
acres of wood land in north Idaho. 1t is
estimated that this area will yield more
than 100000, 900 feet of white and yell
low pine, red and white fir, cedar and
tamarack. The arid waste which it will
also yield is not taken into cousidera-
tion in this estimate. Americans have
too long looked upon trees as in their
way unless they could be used to build
fires or for commercial purposes. This
was true few hundred years ago in
Germany; but now man who cuts
down tree must plant one to take i is
place, or suffer penalty. Probably a
like provision will be enacted here some
time, but it should come before more
trees are felIed.

NOT WAITING AN ORDER.
The Irishman ExpectOrates Regardless of
Orders From the Health Board.

The Irish man EXpecGOraCes AOeSaruless VI
Orders From the Health Board.
From The New York Tribune.
An Irishman, who had liberal sprink-
ling of lime and mortar on his coat and
overalls, got into a Fourth avenue car
in Center street the other day, and as he
was paying his fare to the conductor he
sent from his mouth stream of tobacco
juice which made splash on the floor of
the car.
"Here," said the conductor, sharply,
you'll have to stop that! Look at Tat
sign"
He pointed to a notice which had been
pasted on the window of the car. The
Irshman looked long and hard at the no.
tice, which read: passengers must not
expectorate on the floor of this car. By
order of the Board of Health"
''An' phwat that means dunno" said
the Irish man, after pause.
cit means you mustn't spit on the floor
by order of the health board," said the
conductor.
"Begob, an I'm not waitin'i an order
to do that" said the IrishmaG, but he
took the tobacco quid out of his mouth
and threw it out of the car.

NOTHING SHORT OF IMMoLAr1oN.

DuBignOn and Bowers Do Up Walters at
MouItrie.
Hon. Fleming duBingnon, candidate for
the United States senate, and Judge B,
B. Bower and Hon. Jesse Walters, candi-
dates for congress, made speeches at
Moultre Thursday. A special to the
Savannah News says of the speakers
and speeches.;
"The crowd was not large one, but
it was representative. Judge Bower be-
gan the speaking. In a straightforward
and clear manner he expounded the
principles Of sound currency, giving
full history of this question in this cOun-
try, and coming out squarely for sound
money. His speech was instructive and
logical, free from personalities and the
arts of the demagogue.
"Mr. Walters followed Judge Bower
and began by ridiculing the judge and
declaring that he could get nobody to
meet him on the stump. He appealed
to the passions and prejudices of his au
dience. During his remarks he unfort.
unately for himself made certain per-
sOnal illusions to Mr.. dUBignon.
"Mr. du ignon closed the discussion
with a splendid forensic effort. He
showed himself master of his subject
and the situation from the very start.
He first paid his respects to Mr.. Walters,
and that gentleman soon realized that he
had gotten himself into hornets nest.
Mr.. Walters made frequent attempts to
interrupt the speaker, but in every in
stance he " as thoroughly worsted by the
ready wit ana biting rotorts of his mer-
CHESS adversary. 1t was nothing short
of immolation."

Street Paving.

In yesterdays Leader an article ap-
peared, signed Citizen" criticizing
the general policy of the City in regard
to street paving, and virtually accus-
ing the Councilmen of fraud and steal
ing away to the Legislature to secure
laws to issue bonds. On behalf of the
City Council l want to deny the base
insinuations contained in that article.
We have been laying street pavement
now since 1892 and it would seem that
the policy and method of procedure
ought to be well understood by this
time, but it seems that there are some
who are still laboring under false i'm
pressions which a little Investigation
at the Clerks office would have dis
PEELED. The people last winter voted
to issue s15, 900 paying bonds. The Su-
preme Court has never decided against
that method of authorizing the issue of
bonds. The Statute especially provides
for submitting such questions to vote.
Marietta has had such bond issues au-
thorized by the Legislature, but that
was several years ago. The money
was faithfully expended in paying for
street intersections and one half where
the street fronted on public grounds,
and for 1-50 of total expense. No city
in the State of Ohio pays moro than
1-50 of total expense of street paving;
if there is such a city we have never
heard of it. This City is by no means
in advance of other Ohio cities of the
same size in the matter of sewerage
and street paving. If anything, we
are behind. The expense of paving
and sewerage, while it seems some
what burdensome, is one of the things
every citizen and lot owner may ex-
pect. 1t is one of the incidents to own
ing city property, and these improve
ments add more than their cost to the
value of the lots.
1t is better if lot owner has a griey-
ance to come before Council and pre-
sent it, and not dodge behind an as
sumed name in the public press
ACIc 10 III OhC III vi ScG VI lucu
pushing street paving or sewerage.
The Council, composed of twelve men,
the peoples chosen representatives,
move as a unit in these matters. If
they are wrong the people say so,
but from the majority for paving bonds
voted early in the season, the Council
believe they have the people at their
backs and they propose to proceed,
carefully, equitably and with due con-
sideration for the poor man as we'll as
the rich and well-to-do. One poor man
cannot stop an improvement, nor can
one rich or well-to-do man order an
improvement, but the people must
move forward as whole in these mat
ters. s. ]. HATHAWAY.

(Written during the war by Mrs E S. Bailey
Merry. smiling. beauteous May,
Glad we welcome thee today, s'>
With thy bright and blooming train
Strewing blossoms DER the plain.
Yet thou comest in an hour
Fraught with sad and fearful power,
When life's brightest hopes we see
Wrapped in dark obscurity.
Many a woman's heart, sweet May,
Greets thee with a tear today,
For the blessed flow RS ye bring,
Der her lov'd ones grave shall spring.
Many heart that throbbed last May,
-- On thy Joyous festal day,
Lies in sluwber cold and deep,
Where the dead in battle sleep.
We are teaching to the race,
Words which freemen's blood shall trace,
Writing now on history's page,
Lessons for coming age.
Offspring OF noble stock,
Planted on an ice bound rock,
Claiming land from shore to shore,
Strewed with happy millions DER;
Freedoms Empire, broad and grand,
Where the oppressed of every land
Till their ground and smoke their pipes,
sheltered by the stars and stripes.
Freemen, shall land like this
Yield in utter helplessness:
Must IL bear in future fame
Slavery's blot upon its name:
Europes millions watch the strife,
This foul thrust at Freedoms life;
Should her sun go down in gloom,
Coming millions hear their doom.
God OF justice, God of power,
Help us in this trying hour,
Thy right hand must strike the blow
That shall lay the oppressor low.
Ger that beauteous Southern land,
Ruled by proud expressions hand,
Watered still thro all these years
By the bondsmans blood and tears.
Richer now with patriot blood
Poured out like crimson flood,
Who shall tell what doom yet lowers
Ger that land OF orange bowers:
Draw the curtain DER the scene;
Years OF gloom must intervene
Ere the fields of sugar cane
Teen with happy homes again,
But when this dark day is past,
When the fearful die is cast,
May Columbia stand at length,
Purified in all her strength.
And in justice as in might
Mayst thou stand a beacon light;
Nations then shall join with thee
One glad shout OF Jubilee.

The mischief to be remedied being
the violation Of decency and good NOR
ais by the use of profane and obscene
language in an open place where the
same can be heard by the public or peo-
pie who may be passing on public
street, the intent of the Legislature was
not to restrict the words "or other pub
lie place" in their meaning to the par
ticular words street, highway, store or
shop" and similar words, but to give
them a general meaning and a place
becomes public according to circum-
stances, it's accessibility to the public
and its location in regard to public
streets, and the mischief to be pre-
vented, and in this case we hold that
the place where the language was used
