TOWN POLITICS.
The Cry Against Rings and Bosses
Will Deceive no One.


brothers let us talk politics. The
public mind has been SO occupied
: with the hanging of the young
murderers that for the past two
weeks the question of municipal
government has been in what the
president would designate elm
nocuous desuetude." But since the
unfortunate young foreigners have
been swung into the undiscovered
country, and the interest in the
case has died out. the folk of the
town are once more discussing the
municipal situation, but if the di-
rection of a few straws recently
caught floating in the political air is
to be taken into account, there is
no s'situation" at all. It's a cock
sure thing for the Democrats.
When the intelligent people put
their thinking caps on 1t is safe to
say that they will not act unwisely.
And in this case they had just to
think little bit, look back a short
while and only one conclusion
could be reached. 1t is not neces-
sary to go into details to show the
incompetency of certain gentlemen
to govern the town. They were
tried before and found wanting and
as the proof of the pudding is in the
tasting of it, the people of Lafayette
are not likely to order the same
dish to be prepared by the same
cooks and served by the same
walters. A change of diet was a
necessity two years ago and the
health of the municipal body poll
tic demands continuance of good,
wholesome treatment.
The cry against ring rule, coming,
as it did, from the very fountain of
ringism and bossism deceived no
one. 1t was one of those thinly
disguished bluffs generally at
tempted by defeated politicians who
would welcome return to power.
Those esteemed gentlemen talking
against cliques was like Bob Inger-
soil eulogizing the Pope, Charles
A. Dana praising Cleveland or the
St. Martin Messenger compliment
ing Gov. Foster. For years those
gentlemen were engaged chiefly in
the manufacture of cliques and
bosses and at this late day their ter
rible enm;ty to ringisn, and bossism
lis suspiciously sudden and clearly
insincere.
The town election has resolved
itself into one thing. 1t is: ssWill
we have good, strong intelligent
Council? or will we not Z"
On the sd of May the voters of
the town will answer this question
and judging from appearance they
will answer it in no unmistakable
terms.

A GREAT
TRAVELLER.
Charles Everetts, II Years
of Age and a Native of
Tampa, Fla,
Has Visited Every State
and Territory Without
Paying a Cent to
Railroads.

NndIl1e EVclCttS Is a OIISulS OluC-
eyed boy. He speaks English we'll,
and having travelled extensively, Is
quite an entertaining little fellow.
He is native of Tampa, Fla, but
has not visited that place since the
day he boarded a freight train with
the determination to see as much of
the world as he could. Charlie is
only "a years of age and has been
travelling four years. During that
time he has visited every State and
Territory in the Union, with the
exception of Washington. And
strange to say he never found it
Necessary to buy railroad ticket.
Being asked Low much money he
had contributed to the wealth of
railroad corporations, he replied
with a smile: s'Not a cent. They
have enough glue without getting
mine."
Charley Everetts is by choice a
jockey and when in luck he makes
lots of money, but he is inclined to
be sport and spends his earnings
with unstinted liberality. He rode
horses in Portland, Brooklyn, Phil
adelphia, Boston, Des Moines, New
Orleans, and in all the large cities
in the United States. When he gets
tied of riding horses he rides freight
trains.
About a year ago he secured a
mental position on steamship and
visited England, returning to
Boston, and then went around
to Galveston and finally landed in
Vera Cruz.
About six months ago Everetts
was in Lafayette where he enjoyed
the hospitality Of his friend, Mr..
Paul Demanade, of whom he thinks
a greet deal. After leaving here he
went West visiting a number of
States and spending a couple of
months in California. The famous
prize fight was a great attraction to
him and nothing could have kept him
away from Carson City. He was
a Corbett man and the defeat of the
Californian was sorely disappoint-
ing to him. While out West he had
occasion to see Bryan aud heard
him speak. He has never lost an
opportunity to see celebrated
character, having seen three presi-
dents-Harrison, Cleveland and
Mckinley.
Being questioned about his rela-
tives, he said that his father and
mother were both dead, but he had
some relatives living in Florida,
but he did not know when he would
| ever see them again.
He is an inveterate cigarette
smoker; but expressed his intention
of quitting the use of tobacco as it
was proving injurious to his system.
1t is doubtful if there is to be
found anywhere in the country a
boy of IA years with such record
Although having never attended
school, he reads English and is we'll
informed on general topics.

The strange royal pair, Ferdinand and
isabella, combined in themselves an in.
tense greed for gold and fierce religious
intolerance. When their country could
produce such devoted servants of God as
Loyola and Saint Theresa, we must in.
deed believe their was depth to the relig-
ious feeling. Bgt also when we consider
the servant OF Ferdinand and Isabella,
the fierce Torequemada, we arecompeled
to realize that with religion was ire
mendous admiXture of greed. After the
lnquisition became thoroughly estab-
llshed, it was found so easy TO secretly
dispose OF men aud women of wealth
that to Ferdinand, eager for money. the
temp alton was two overpowering. So
while lsabella's fanatical soul was satis-
fled with the works of the Holy Office.
Ferdinand found solace 10 himself in re
plenishing his treasury. The work of the
lnquisition became, in short little else
but robbery aud murder in the name OF
God. Ii the walls OF the EscurIal could
speak, cry for vengeance, long inauii-
BILE TO human ears, would stir the human
heart. With the same spirit of lust for
wealth, the colonies were always regarded
as fair nrey to be merciIessly stripped OF
everything valuable that was compact
aud transportable. Precious metals be-
came common in Spain, wealth was on
every side, luxury was all peryerse. Yet
in the midst of it's greatest material pros
perity, the demon OF sell-destruction was
unobtrusiyeIy at work, for any nation
that puts it's trust in material wealth for
Dermanency also builds it's structure
upon the sands.

Altogether SPAN seems TO have been
possessed OF demon of sel'-destruction,
demon that has taken varied forms in
four centuries, but which, through them
all, has been forcing Spain steadily on
ward toward humiliation. It's wars with
the Moors fostered a strong national
spirit, and because the wars were relgl-
GUS in character, they tended also 10
make Spain the stronghold of Catholic
ism. So long as there was fair fighting
Spain was strengthened by the conflict;
for in certain stages of human progress
war, with it's attendant horrors, seems
to have been. il not necessary feature,
at any rate, an aid to civilization. But
Spain, when the conquest was practically
complete. and the remaining Moors had
settled down Co agriculture and TO trade,
burning with zeal for the God of their
bloody imaginings, called in TO aid in tie
complete determination of every heresy,
that fiendish device for populating Heav-
en and saying souls, "The lnqustion."
Their conquests in the New World also
were in the beginning religious conquests.
Their adventures were to win vast glo
for the church, and so in the name OF Al.
mighty God, most joyously did they slay
without conjunction.
