LET US HI HE HARMONY
At this time when we ar.

LET US HI IE Hi RM0NY
At this time when we are
threatened with dreadful pesti-
lence. it is the duty of every citizen
to preach harmony and exert all his
energies toward the creation of a
healthy public sentiment. It is not
the time for elimination and re-
elimination. 1t is not the time for
criticism and censure. 1t is not the
time to find fault with the action of
men who are unQuestionably doing
their best. 1t is not the time to go
about the streets and breed dis
union by impugning the motives of
honest gentlemen.
1t is time to put our heads to-
gether. TO think together. To
work together and to pull together.
The Gazette is panied to see that
ut this critical period when perfect
harmony is necessary, disunion
seems to be complete. The present
state Of the public mind is perhaps
worse than the plague itself.
The Board Of Health, in whose
keeping have been intrusted the
lives of this community, is COM
posed Of good citizens who have
everything to lose should yellow
fever visit this town. They too
have homes to protect. They have
wives and children and it is not
reasonable to suppose that they
would do aught which might place
their lives in jeopardy.
Let there be a cessation of acri-
monious talk. Let men stop vent
ing their personal grievances, their
likes and dislikes.
Let US all trust those who have
been placed at the helm. They
have at heart the welfare Of this
community and they no doubt ap-
preciate the gravity of the condi-
ton which comforts us, and we
feel they will act for the best.
The people of New Orleans to-
day may have reason to doubt the
efficiency of their Board of Health.
But they are not saying so just
now. They are assisting the board
and doing all in their power to
strengthen it. Let us do likewise.

1t would seem from these figures
that there had been . great increase
in the number Of strikes since 1879.
but this increase is only apparent,
like the crimes reported in the
newspapers, due to better facilities
for getting the news. The Bureau
of Labor was not we'll organized in
1879, and was not able to Thoroughly
investigate all strikes that occurred.
In 1894, however, it was under full
swing, aud the reports since then
are accurate and can be relied on.
There were more strikes then than
in 1895. 1t will be seen At once
that good times encourage strikes,
while with bad times they grow
fewer and fewer persons are in
volved. Thus it will be seen that
there was a large number of strikes
in the three years just preceding
the financial crisis, whereas since
the panic they have been few in
number. The reason is obvious.
The men stand little success in win
ming their point if business is in =
bad condition, and wait for better
times before making their demands.
At the same time, the strikes are
becoming each year more success
full, which would indicate that the
working men are more prudent and
seldom venture into strike unless
they have a reasonable show of sue
cess. In the early eighties a large
m aiority of the strikes failed. Be-
tween 1879 and 1891 only IS per
cent succeeded, 43 per cent were
partially successful and AZ per cent
were complete failures. Since then
the record has been:

This il An improvement on Lafayette
which kept eight drummers locked up in .
coach for twelve hours without . single
mouthful Of food.
If our readers knew the kicking
propensities of the st. Martinville
Messenger, it would be unnecessary
to inform them that the above has
been clipped from that journal.
In its eagerness TO criticise our
quarantine regulations, the Mes
senger forgets the old adage which
warns those who live in glass houses
not to throw stones.
Instead of trying to cast discredit
upon our quarantine, the Messenger
should endeavor to modify its
own and make it less inhu-
man and render it more in accord
with the laws of civilized society.
When the fever had first made its
appearance in New Orleans, two
nuns of the order of Mercy left that
city with tickets for St. Martinville.
When the train reached Cade station
the good sisters attempted to get off
the New Orleans train to board the
St. .Martinville train. They were in
formed by the guards that they
could not enter St. M artinville and
that they would have to go on and
seek refuge somewhere else where
the people had not yet 50 com
pletely lost their senses as not to
know that members Of that noble
band of sisters do not, as q rule,
carry the germs of infectious di-
seases, but are held in all civilized
communities as sweet messengers of
love, whose mission is not to bring
the deadly pestilence into happy
homes, but rather to cheer the un-
happy, succor the needy, admins
ter to the sick and extend to the
dying the comforts of religion.
yette the sisters of Mercy were al
lowed to disembark and to 60 their
way unhindered by the interference
Of the quarantine guards. Unlike
the people Of st. Martinville, those
of Lafayette welcomed the good
nuns who would have been COM
PEELED to continue their journey ad
infinitum, had our citizens closed
their doors as had been done At
St. Martinville.
The st. Martinville Messenger
had not a word to say in con-
demnation of this outrage, but be-
cause a half-dozen sleek and we'll
fed drummers were made to remain

THE SOLE REASON,
MIR. Hannis Taylor Prevented by Cold
From Delivering Lecture.

Mr.. Hannis Taylor Prevented by Cold
From Delivering Lecture.
1t was stated at the Catholic University
this morning that the sole reason why Mr.
Hannis Taylor, ex-minister to Madrid, did
not lecture at the university yesterday
was that he was suffering from a severe
attack of bronchitis. The idea that the
Spanish minister had anything to do with
the postponement of the lecture was ridi-
culed.
1t was given out in morning paper that
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish min
ister as the representative of Catholic
nation, had made verbal suggestion to
the officials of the university that the lee
ture Mr.. TAYLOR intended to deliver would
be inadvisable.
The attention of Mr.. Taylor was called to
the matter. He stated that the real reason
was an attack of bronchitis, as had been
said by those at the university He said
further that the rector of the university
had urged him to appear and deliver the
lecture II possible.
Mr.. Taylor concluded by saying that the
idea to him was incredible that the Spanish
minister should be guilty of the presump-
trous impertinence of attempting to sup
press free speech in the national capital.

STORY by SIR WALTER BESANT.

't mOrrovS's Si.- Star.
The big Saturday Star this week will
contain great number Of special features
SO diverse ir character as to insure good
reading suited to the most catholic of
tastes. Well-known writers both in this
country and abroad have contributed some
of their best work, and in the matter of
fiction tomorrow's paper will be particular
ly strong. In addition to the regular in
stallment of Anthony Hopes serial, Simon
Dale there will be a short story by Sir
Walter Besant, who is deservedly one OF
the most popular of modern English auth
ors. In 1.-The Skyrocket," his latest story,
he writes in his happiest vein, and his de-
lineations of character, though done in
few broad strokes, are unusually clever.
The story tells of a young girl in the
humber walks of life who had "aspira-
TONS and who, by chance flight into
literature, made hit and became promi-
nent figure in London. She went up like a
skyrocket and came down like -, but
that's the story, and it must be left for
Sir Walter to tell it. That he does it well
goes without saying. Other articles deal
with fashion, sport, travel and adventure,
different in style and matter, but all read
able Among them may be mentioned the
following:
