To Our Correspondents.

We wish those who act as correspond
ents for the REPUBLICAN would make it
a rule always to sign their names to their
communications. We do not want the
name of the correspondent for publica-
ton, indeed we will be sure it is not
published, but we do want it as a matter
of good faith between the correspondent
and the editor. A rule which should be
invariably followed in a newspaper Office
is to reject all manuscripts not accom-
panied by the authors name. We can
not publish communications from writer's
who hide their identity from our knowl-
edge. We can keep quiet as to who our
correspondents are, but we must know
them. We recently had to reject good
correspondent who, in writing, persisted
in never signing his name.

Nothing will ever completely relieve

SUICIDE.

The following special sent from
this place, dated May 10th appear
ed in the Times-Democrats: Mr..
Joseph Chereaux. an old citizen of
Loreauville, La, committed sui
eide last night by climbing into a
cistern and drowning. He first
tried to take his life by stabbing
himself, first with a dirk and after
ward with a sword cane, but his
arms and hands were so badly
paralyzed that he did not have
strength to plunge the weapons
deep enough to infict a death
wound. He then procured a lad
der and climbed to the top of a
large cistern filled with water; re-
moved the covering and jumped
in. He was missing this morning,
and upon searching the place he
was discovered floating on top of
the water in the cistern. He was
quite an old man, about seventy
five years, had been paralyzed in
both arms, and was almost help
less. This is suppose to have been
the cause of his taking his life.
He came to this country from
France in 1854, and was at one
time quite prominent merchant.
He owned fine property and
made his will about two weeks
ago, but to whom no one knows
but the notary who drew it up.
The coroner was notified.

Last Sunday morning a merry
crowd of lads and lassies with
sparkling eyes, light hearts and
heavy baskets left town for the
shores of Bayou Capucin. We
left the dear old town sleeping
among her oaks, and away we
went through cool, green, dew
laden lanes, fanked on either side
by lovely fields of waving corn,
and over westward a forest of
trees; how beautiful they were; I
can see them now as l saw them
then; the leaves glistening with a
silver sheen. We entered the love-
ly woods that line the banks of
Capucin and in a few minutes
reached the river, where we dis
embarked and spent day the me-

another such. We forgot formal

BRIEF MESSAGE.

The President sent the following
message to Congress Monday:
1.-The Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States:
"O&cial information from our
Consuls in Cuba establishes the
fact that a large number of Amer
lean citizens in the island are in a
state of restitution, suffering for
want of food and medicine. This
applies particularly to the rural
districts of the central and eastern
parts.
r"The agricultural classes have
been forced from their farms into
the nearest towns, where they are
without work or money.
"The local authorities of the So
veral towns, however kindly dis
posed, are unable to relieve the
needs of their own people and are
altogether powerless to help our
citizens.
The latest report of Consul Gen.
eral Lee estimates six to eight
hundred Americans are without
means of support / have assured
him that provision would be made
at once to relieve them. To that
end I recommend that Congress
make an appropriation of not less
than fifty thousand dollars, to be
Immediately available for use un-
der the direction of the Secretary
of the State.
1T is desirable that a part of
the sum which may be appropria-
ted by Congress should, in the
discretion of the Secretary of
State also be used for the tran
sportation of American citizens
who, desiring to return to the
United States, are without means
to do so. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

tearing that bill tc pieces as the
result, to some extent, at least, OF
personal pique, or jealousy of the
autocratic course of Speaker Reed
and a desire to humble him by
mutilating a measure he specially
favors. If, however, precedent
goes for anything the Senate will
be very apt to have its way in this
instance, especially as men will
be more pertinacious in pursuit of
an end where filthy lucre is await
ing them than when the only re-
ward in view is the accomplish
ment of the public good or the
quieting of a perturbed con-
science.
Whatever the surface indica-
tons now, no intelligent man
doubts but a sufficient number OF

arise, this company, SO potent fol
evil, will buy up the House, Gar

SOLID FACTS WHICH HAVE A WORLD

pie. The map, the machine. the medi.

pularity. A thing which proves over
and over again its power to do that
which it promises to do is sure of the
abiding confidence of mankind. An ar
ticle which stands out 10 the full light
Of great success, unapprOached by all
competition. is permanently fixed in the
minds of men as honest and reliable.
Look at the magnificent success Of
that sterling preparation. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. To what is this great success
due?
Think Of the facts. First, there IL the
great Laboratory of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t is building which contains over
three acres of floor space. and it is the
largest structure in the world devoted
exclusively to the business OF proprie-
tary medicine. What does this fact
mean2 1t means that the business of
making and selling Hoods Sarsaparilla
is of immense proportions.
Next, there are the cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. These cures have been
spread before the world, year after year
they are known to bs true. genuine, un-
improbable facts. They are numbered
by thousands. Every mail brings. in
these wonderful reports Of cures by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Letters are also
being received. from time to time. from
people who were cured many years ago
and now write to say the cures are per-
maDent--that when once the offending
impurities which caused their suffering,
have been driven from the blood by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, there is no return
of the disease. No other has such a re-
cord of cures as Hoods Sarsaparilla,
Third, look at the advertising of Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t does not deceive the
people. 1t tell what Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done and what it will do. We do
not claim for Hoods Sarsaparilla any
instantaneous, miraculous effect. It ia
a scientific preparation, compounded by
experienced pharmacists, for exactly the
purpose for which 1t is advertised, and
for which 1t has proved wonderfully sue
cessful, namely, to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood.
This. in short, is the true reason for
the great cures by Hoods Sarsaparills.
The blood Is the life. Therefore, life.
health, and happiness depend upon the
condition Of the blood.

This week was one of sensation
and talk in this town, all caused
by the coming of some lewd wo-
men who have opened shop at the
south end Of the town. This ad-
vent in our town has had the eff
feet of bringing to the surface mo-
ralists who were hidden in their
mcdesty and unknown to the
world; others who were supposed
to be hardened sinners turned up
to be moralists of the purest kind,
and the reformers are almost fren-
zied in their indignation of the
infamy. Some of the christians
whose morality has been so awful
ly shocked may turn to be regula-
tors, as some threats have been
made to burn the house occupied
by these women, and the colored
man who rented the house was at
the point of being driven away
from our town limits. Other COM
munities are similarly afflicted,
and Baton Rouge is now trying to
solve the problem, as will be seen
by the following:
Every now and then a moral
breeze strikes this community, and
then all the good men and reform
ed reprobates get together and
commence to discuss the advisabi-
lily of removing the fallen women
from town or from the section OF
town which is in such close proxi-
nifty to the University. The city
men want them removed to the
country and the country men want
them to remain in the city, but
neither want them too far away!
Verify, verify, brothers, this is a
hard subject to tackle-it is like
monkeying with stick with tar
at both ends, and the Dingley bill
simply amt in it. Some very ex-
cellent men who spring from the
"best families in the CITY," who
love to pirate about personal liber-
ty, tell US that any attempt of the
city council to remove these un-
fortunate women is a gross as
sumption of authority and altoge-
Their Unconstitutional" and that
fallen women are necessary evils,
yet they want some other fellow
to furnish the necessary evil"
Yes, as we remarked before, it is
an exceedingly hard question to
handle, and can only be satisfac-
torily solved by specialists, and
for this reason we retire from the
field.-Baton Rouge Bulletin.

A story to the effect that the
new 81, 81 and S. silver certifi-
Gates were to be retired found its
way into print the other day. The
facts in the case are these: Bank
ers have complained that these
certificates are not distinctive
enough; that they are too dark
(notably the 81 certificates), and
that the numbers in the corners
of all three do not stand out suffi-
GENTLY to reduce the making of
mistakes in counting to a mini
mum. The Treasury Department
is trying to meet this criticism by
general clearing up of the de-
signs, that is, removing certain
shadows and intensifying others,
without, however, changing the
general appearance of the notes.
In fact, the public, except when
seeing the new notes side by side
with the old ones, will have diff
Guilty in discovering the change.

treasury, will of course. be destroy

places. -Times-DemOcrat.

Home Rule for Cube.

The President and Secretary OF.
ney are considering proposals for
restoring peace in Cuba. There is
ssid to be a decided change of sent
iment in Madrid caused by the
sympathy expressed for the Cuhans
In the United States.
The plan proposed by the Span.
ish authorities some months ago
provided for q Cuban Congress OF
thirty members, of whom the Queen
Regent, was to name fifteen, and the
people Of Cuba to elect fifteen. Il Is
now proposed to modify this plan
and permit the people of Cuba to
elect all the members. The entire
control of tariff legislation 10 also
10 be given the Cubans.
The United States government will
probably endeavor to bring about a
settlement of the Cuban question on
the proposed basis, thus averting
4 sanguinary conflict With Spain.

Certainty Of Death.

For years the French Academic
des Sciences kept up the standing
offer of a large reward for the dis.
covery of an infallible sign Of death
which could be applied by the most
ignorant. That reward was given to
Frenchman some IS years ago.
A correspondent Of the Electrical
Review describes the test as follows
when in a darkened room YOU
hold your open hand with a finger
touching finger in front of candle
light, you will see the bright red
color of the circulating blood shin.
ing through the skin where finger
touches finger. The Frenchman re-
ferred to discovered that this sign
ceases the moment death occurs,
and most thorough investigation
showed that neither in catalepsy
nor in any other variety OF. apparent
death is this sign ever waning; it
disappears only with death. Simple
as the sign is, easily ss it is applied
under the most varied conditions,
even by the most illiterate, yet it is
the surest indication Of that con-
Kealing Of the tissues which sets in
spontaneously with death-it indi-
Gates the cessation of life's current
of motion. Science knows no more
reliable test of death; | doubt
whether q simpler one will ever be
discovered. New York Journal.

SENATORIAL CONTESTS.
Plans Being Concocted to Defeat
Fred T. Dubois.

washington Evening Start
During the recess of Congress
considerable work is expected to
be done toward settling come OF
the pending senatorial contests.
The republican national committee
have taken the matter up With the
determination to let nothing 60 un-
done that gives the least promise
of securing the election OF y repub.
lican senator or one who will act
with the republicans on the tariff.
It is intimated that favorable pro-
gress has been made toward bring
ing about satisfactory situation
in North Carolina and South Da
kota, and that il is probable that
the man elected in Washington wilI
act with the republicans On the
tariff. just as Prifchard Of North
Carolina would if reelected.
The visit of Senator'S Shoup and
Thurston to Mr.. Hanna at Clevs-
land, which the dispatches attribute
to q purpose to secure cabinet
position, is understood here to re-.
late to the Idaho senatorial situa.
ton. The question of the defeat
or reelection of Senator Dubois
has come to be struggle between
the two national committeeman.
The republican national committee
managers have determined that
Dubois shall not be returned. They
understand that the democratic ma
tional committee are interesting
themselves to secure Dubois re-
turn, and this conference Of Sena
tor Shoup. and Senator Thurston
with Mr.. Hanna is understood to
be with relation to plans for even
more effective work than has yet
been done to insure Dubois defeat.
Just what the democratic COM
mittee have done in the matter is
not certain, but it is known that
they are intensely interested in
Dubois behalf. The republicans
are confident enough Of their own
strength to be very little concerned
about what the democrats may do.
They would like, however, to go q
little further than they at first had
any hope that they could, and in
addition to defeating Dubois, Sc
cure the election of a man in his
place who will be pledged to vote
for a tariff bill.

Yesterday the gray dawn of the
new year peeped over the horizon
and 1897 was recorded in the book
Of eternity.
The death of the old year is
always attended with feelings of
sadness-it is time for memory
and tears. When we listen to the
bells tolling out the solemn requiem
for passing year, q sense of utter
loneliness takes possession of our
souls, aud an involuntary shudder
passes over Us ae we watch the
taper of the old year burn low.
A New Year stands scanning the ghosts of
the past,
We gaze Ger his shoulders and feel heavy
To think months and seasons are fading
SO fast.
It matters not how we bid the
parting year farewell, or how we
hail the new-time keeps slowly
but surely ticking away and each
year brings Us nearer the shores Of
eternity.
We see a new face at the door as
the wild bells ring out their peal of
welcome to another year, and
change comes over the spirit of our
sad dreams. for we hear messages
of hope-the merry chimes tell us
Of new blessings that are to come
with the new year, which proves
balm for the sorrow of parting with
the one that has passed down the
corridors of time.
The ushering in of a new year
has an excellent effect in inspiring
careworn minds apd weary hearts

they may prove delusive, are de-
