Mi querido amigo y compa-
nero
A los que, como yo, sienten
legitimo orgullo en- presentar a
la Isla de Puerto Rico como de
2chado de lealtad y cordura, en-
los presentes crfticos momentos
por que atraviesa la Patria, eau
saron penosfsima impression los
telegramas que de ahi Sc han re,
cibido, anunciando la aparici6n
de dos partidas, aunque peque-
mas, de insurrectos, ALA por las
inmediaciones de Yau.o. La
opinion aqui, por 10 mismo que
tenfa y tiene una fe ciega en- las
grandes virtudes cfvicas de la Pc
quefa Antilla. Sc sintio tamben
vivamente contrariada con aquel
lamentable suceso.
Por fortuna, esaS malaS impse-
stones causadas Sc desvanecieron
con rapidez ante las favorables
noticias, que de ahf vinieron lue-
go, de haber sido perseguidas y
disueltas completamente dichas
partidas, puede decirse que en- ell
termino de breves horas. Y va
todo el mundo sabe a que ate
nerse sobre ell particular; nadie
sc imagina que la intentona fraca
sada haya tenido su origen en- un
NAL estado de opinion en- Ia Isla,
sino mas bien en- los persistentes
manelos de los flibusteros del
exterior. que, envidiosos sin du-
da del bienestar y la paz que dis
fruta la siempre feel Puerto Rico,
han querido lamar sobre ella las
calamidades in6nitas que afigen
a Cuba, perturbada por la mas
cruel { injusti6cada de las rebe
liones. All ! mo arraigara
10 indigno en- ese pueblo noble |!
Los sediciosos de ahora ha
brznse convencido una vez mas
de que no es la 1sla del Cor1erc
terra disPuesta para las revuel
tas y traiciones con que suena la
maldad aguijoneada por la ambi-

A Shady Transaction.

Our Police Juror OF the Fifth
ward is again connected in a little
sbady transaction, which is not al
together right, and that should
need a little investigation. we
learn that Police Juror Patin was
instructed to sell the contract Tor
the opening of the La Place
bridge, but on the day and time
advertised, Mr.. Patin did not
show up on the bridge, where the
sale was to take place, and never
offered the contract at auction as
it was his duty. This would have
been all right if Mr.. .Patin had re-
ported these facts to the Ponce
Jury, but his report was that ne
could not sell the contract, when
in fact he never tried. On this
report of Police Juror Patin, the
Police Jury entered into private
contract with Mr.. Eugene Webre
to perform the work for $50
wear. The former contractor Mr.
A. H. Guilbeau performed tn
same work for S25 and although
he would have liked to have tn
police jury appropriate a highe
amount, he would have taken tn
contract for S25 and had the bid
ding been properly done, accor
ding to the usage OF the Polio
Jury, it might have gone lowe
than S25. The police jury SHOULD
investigate this little transactlo
of Police Juror Patin, and let tn
people know something about
as they seem to take some intere'
in our solon of the Fifth ward.

the purpose of enforcing respect
for law and order otherwise the
parish, which is one Of the fairest
in the State, will not only suffer
by its good name being brought
into ill-repute, but immigration
will seek other portions OF the
State. The Illinois Central Rail-
road has already done much for
Tangipahoa parish by inducing
many hundreds of thrifty farmers
from the West to settle there and
engage in fruit and truck farming,
but the efforts of the road to fill
the parish with an industrious and
highly desirable class of imni-
grants will be barren of results If
lawlessness is permitted to have
full sway, and crime is allowed to
go UNPUBLISHED. There is no por.
| ton of this State that offers grea-
ter inducements to farmers who
have tired of the blizzard-striker
States of the Northwest, and who
are beginning to seek home in thu
genial climate of the South, wher'
outdoor work can be done thu
whole year round, and two o
; three different crops raised ant
harvested on the same piece o
land. Tangipahoa parish is no
only noted for its healthfulnesi
! but for the fact that its lane
which can be purchased for a res
sonable price is especially adapte
, to the cultivation of fine fruits an
} vegetables which find a ready sal
in the Western markets. The pr

Talk of new time card on the Great
Northern to become effective either
next Sunday or one week from Sunday
has revived the project of removing
the division point or at least a portion
of the train crews back from Melrose
to St. Cloud. AS at present arranged,
Melrose is by no means the best di-
vision point. This is fact conceded
by all railroad men at all conversant
with the operation at the minimum ex-
rense of a railroad. There is not suf-
ficient work to employ more than one
switch engine and crew at Melrose at
this season of the year, and under the
present system the crew cannot do the
work of switching in the ST. Cloud
yards. The result is that freight trains
are held from two to five and six hours
here doing Unnecessary transfer work.
and the cost to the railroad company
goes on the payrolls as so much extra
time paid for at tower time rates,
which are of course much in excess of
the rate paid for ordinary time. In
many ways the railroad management
has found the change to Melrose one
which has been very expensive one,
and among railroad men the talk of
removal back to St. Cloud is very
strong and quite positive in tone. Of
ficials say little or nothing but it is re-
ported of one man in a position to
know that he said that it would be the
part of wisdom from dollars and
cents standpoint for the Great North
ern to utterly abandon its terminal fa-
cilities at Melrose and to remove bag
and baggage to ST. Cloud, where work
on the five lines of the Great Northern
radiating from this point could be re-
sumed at decided advantage to all
concerned. J ournal-PreSs.

The New Tobacco Law.

The law in regard to the sale of tobacco
limit having expired. In many towns in the
state an united effort is being made to have
the law become effective. At Rochester, for
instance, committees of ladies and gentle
men have been appointed to call upon tobac
co sellers and ask them to abide by and up
hold the law. The law is as follows:
Section 1. Any person within this state
who sells. gives to or in any way furnishes
any cigarettes cigars or, tobacco in any form
10 any person under eighteen (IS) years Of
age, or to any minor pupil in any school,
college or university, shall be punished by a
fine not to exceed fifty (5o) dollars, or i'm
prisonlnent in the county Jail not to exceed
thirty (3o) days for each ofiense-
Sec. 2. Any person under eighteen (ISI
years of age, or any minor pupil as described
in section one (I) of this act,who shall smoke
or use cigarettes, cigars OF tobacco in any
form on any public highway, street, alley,
park or other lands used for public, purposes,
or in any public place of business, shall be
arrested by any officer of the law, who may
be cognizant of such offense; and further, it
shall be the duty OF such officer, upon COM
plant of any citizen, to arrest such offenders
and take them before the proper court. The
court shall impose punishment, at its dis
erection, in a sum not to exceed ten (ro) dol
lars, or imprisonment in the county Jail not
to exceed five 81 days for each offense; pro-
vided, if such minor person shall give infor-
nation which shall lead to the arrest of the
person or persons violating section one Il of
this act in giving to, selling, or in any way
furnishing said minor person tobacco, and
shall give evidence as witness in such pro-
ceedings against said party or parties, the
court shall have power to suspend sentence
against such minor person.
Sec.3. Any person who harbors or grants
to persons under eighteen (IS] years of age,
or to minor pupils as described in section one
| IN of this act, privilege of gathering upon
or frequenting any property or lands held by
him, for the purpose of INDUCING in the use
of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form,
shall be held in the same penalty as provided
