The Cuban Message.

President Mckinley sent a mes
sage to Congress last Monday, re-
commencing that an appropriation
Of not less than $4,000 be made
to relieve the destitution Of from
800 to 800 American citizens who
have been driven to the country
towns by the Butcher" Wyler.
Every true American heartily
endorses any step toward relieving
suffering humanity, and more es-
pecially American citizens who are
so unfortunate, and through no
fault Of their own, are placed in
such distressing circumstances,
hut no one should entertain the
idea for a moment that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has any more concern about
the Cuban cause than had Mr..
Cleveland. He has not shown him
self disposed to tread upon the
toes of Spain.

In little squib last week we
mentioned that railroads compe.
ting with Cane river had raised
freight rates as soon as navigation
ceased in that river. We based
ths assertion on the fact that rates
had been raised on cotton seed and
cotton seed meal, but Capt. Cas-
pari desires US to say that rates
have not been raised on any other
class Of freights on his road, and
that the rates on cotton seed pro-
ducts have been arranged by mu-
tual agreement between his road
and the managers Of the Oil mill
here. We take the liberty Of fur
ther informing the public that the
passenger rates on said road still
remain at the nominal figure Of
8 cents per mile.

Locks Everywhere Not
Here.

The following appeared in the
Times Democrats correspondence
on the 18th, and shows what we
could do if we got a hustle on our
selves
There are about seven or eight
miles Of the Teche from St. Mar
tinsville to Port Barre, embracing
one of the most beautiful and pro-
ductive portions Of our State, in
habited by an Industrious and en-
terprising population, containing
several towns and many villages,
that bt for years been deprived
OF the u a5a5'its Of navigation, with
the Bayou Teche at their doors,
which can be made navigable at q
very small expense, considering the
amount of commerce already ex.
listing, and what it would be If the
people had the advantage of navi-
cation. These people have been
compelled to haul all their produce
long distances, either to St. Mar
tinsville or Port Barre, to ship by
water, or to the nearest depots on
the Morgan Railroad.
Seeing the condition of affairs,
the Hon. r. F. Broussard, our
member OF Congress, succeeded in
getting Major j. B. Quinn, the
United States engineer in charge,
to have a survey made and an esti-
mate Of tho cost, with the view Of
ascertaining If it could be made
navigable. Major Quinn did SO,
and, after q personal Inspection,
pronounced It perfectly practical
BILE, and that the expense was tri-
fling in comparison to the immense
benefit II would confer, not only to
the people residing on the banks Of
the Teche, but also the whole ad-

in the Courtableau, caused by the

which he believed it would be very
difficult to remove and almost i'm

cause that caused that raft to form

For these reasons he recommended
the placing of the lock in the Bay

mouth of the Teehe, so as to raise
its waters sufficiently to divert

and then locking tho Teche so as to
make it hold enough water to make

Majority Must Rule.


The American Nonconformist,
one of the oldest aud most inhu-
ential papers in the Peoples party,
edited by Prof. c. Vincent, that
veteran of reform, has the follow
ing to say on the proposed confer
ence at Nashville for July 4th:
The callers of the conference
themselves polled the National
Central Committee Of 145 mem
bers. SO answers were received,
90 of which (one-ffth Of the Com
mittee) voted for q conference.
Chairman Butler polled the Com
mittee Of 145 members receiving
1O2 replies, of which 50 IA clear
majority Of all the members) were
opposed and some Of the remain
ing % were undecided, but if
every member had responded and
all but the so had been for a con-
ference, there would have been
mustered but 65 votes in its favor
to 80 against it. Has it come to
this, that less than one-ffth OF a
body shall be allowed to control

Since a large majority of the
party's Central Committee has de-
cided not to call a conference for
that time and place, those of the
party who believe IN compact and
solid party organization will not
60, neither will they take part in
an ''after-thought" and mock
Referendum. That the result of
the so-callpd Referendum now be-
ing taken by few newspapers, is
not intended to affect anything,
and is only q "blind," is shown by
the fact that q call has been issued
by the President Of the Press AS
sociation for special meeting of
that Association in Nashville, July
2d-just prior to the called confer
ence-thus it is assumed" in ad-
vance of the possibility Of any re-
liable returns from a Referendum.
that the ''people' will sneeze when
these wouh-be bosses Ike snuff.
Some of these enthusiastic friends
are just as honest in their inten-
tions as it is possible for a man to
be in any movement, but the Non
conformlst is not a ''rebel'' against
the expressed wish of a large ma
jority of the representatives Of the
party on question of minor i'm
portance- whether we shall confer
together just now or wait until the
enemy has a little more clearly
shown its hand. Ii the question
were one of principle, and if the
men who compose the committee
should endeavor to commit the
party to principle foreign to its
declaration of principles-if an
act of revolution were attempted
by the Committee, the Noncon-
forlmist would be in the forefront
OF . fight for those principles we
hold dear, but no such question is
presented at this time and in this
matter. 1t is simply, shall a small
faction be allowed to dictate and
control the action of the party.

United Kingdom Aroused Over the
Deaths of Children Unattended

(By Anglo-American Press)

by Anglo-American Press)
LONDON, Oct. 14.-TOwn and county
authorities all over the United King
dom are exercised over the doings Of
the Peculiar People," a sect of faith
curists. Many scandals have arisen re-
Gently over the deaths of children
whose parents, being members OF this
denomination. dispensed with medical
attendance. Physicians in several in
stances have sworn that the lives of
the children could have been saved by
proper treatment, WhereupOn the par
ents Of the little ones have invariably
been arrested for manslauGhter.
At recent coroner's inquest at West
Ham the mother admitted that a doctor
had not been summoned to attend the
child but said the elders of the church
were appealed to and that they sought
to cure the suffering infant by laying
on of hands. This same woman con-
fessed that she had lost five other chill
dren, none of whom had been attended
by a physician.
Public feeling is growing against
these practices and a general demand
has been made for the discipline Of the
sect by the medical authorities. The
general sentiment is that the faith cur
lists may try mind healing on them
selves, If they choose, but that they
must not be allowed to sacrifice the
lives Of their innocent children.

be easy to establish reindeer mail

animals could easily cross the divide

and these could be made very useful as
bases of supplies for the arSonauts. In

a leading trading and transportation

proposal is now under consideration by
