~ 3 - "A Day OF Honor.

The State has likewise put the
coronation of honor upon it by de-
sclarins it a dies non. And it is well
that she has. Every loyal son of
Louisiana, whether by birth or
adoption; whether, as soldier, he
wore the gray or blue; whether, too
young for either, his baby eyes
first saw the skies which, sunset
hued, traced roseate colors on the
landscape above or below Mason's
and Dixon's line, will fully indorse
it. A patriot loves one in whose
breast burns the fires of loyalty to
q home cause; and hence we repeat
all citizens of to-day-if they be
men-will honor the. Legislature
which made this event a dies non.
With no reward for the chival-
rous services performed in defense
of a sacred right, save hallowed
: "reminiscences which CLEAN and
sparkle and scintilate with deeds
( of heroism that Civilization paus-
es, in absolute wonder, to admire.
with naught of recompense save the
conscience of an honor upheld, a
name untarnished, preserved in the
crucible vicariate, and the fact
that in the gray hairs which adorn
each head, the noble women and
men and the young girls and boys
of our dear Southland see brilliants
in diadem royal-it is more than
we'll that this day be set apart in
their honor and that the public
may do honor to them. ....
Therefore let every business
house be closed; let business cease
aand turn the keys of the city over
to this remnant band, survivors, of
a cause and effort supernal
Oh this day due tribute will be
paid to the dead who wore the
gray and those who wore the clue.

promts humanity to remember the

we're their homes, sunshine whose
death was the Christening rod which

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH

The authorities at Santa Monica have
not yet seen fit to spend a few dollars
to prevent drowning accidents off that
delightful but dangerous beach. They
seem to argue that since the fatal ac-
cident of the 18th inst was the first
for years there is not likely to be an
other one for many more.
They are showing themselves to be
penny wise and pound foolish" A
few feet of rope at regular intervals
along the shore would restore confidence
among timid bathers and incidentally
add to the profits of Santa Monica
caterers.
Some Of the Santa Monicans have ex-
pressed themselves in public print and
elsewhere as injured by the reports of
the drowning that appeared in the Los
Angeles papers. The account in the
Herald was written by an eye witness
and one we'll acquainted with the bath
ing at that beach.
| II the proprietors Of the bath houses
are caIlous in providing the necessary
equipment, the town authorities should
compel them to do SO.

THE CoNFEREES AGREE

The senate and house conferees have
succeeded after much pulling, hauling
and trading. in agreeing upon a tariff
measure, a large majority Of the SEN
ate measure having been accepted
This week should see the adjournment of
congress.
While the house won the victory on
the sugar schedule, the senate Saved
something" in the language of Senator
Allison. Saved" is a significant word.
1t calls to mind the structures of ex-
Senator ingalls, upon the sugar schedules:
Men competent to Judge affirm that
the pending bill will add not less than
ten millions per annum to the already
extortionate gains Of the trust; that 1t
will put this article Of universal use
and consumption absolutely under the
control of a single combination; that it
will destroy competition and annihilate
the domestic cane and beet sugar in
dustries and add to the burdens that
already bear SO heavily upon the peo-
pie.
Which is not an encouraging prospect.
The failure of the Republican majority
to insert an antitrust provision in the
bill is a great disappointment to the
people. The Republicans, however,
were obliged to go on record in the mat
ter and their course will not help them
in the future.
Senator Allison declares that the bill
will produce not less than $3.50, 900 of
revenue the first year it is in force, but
these figures are secuted by the opposi-
ton leaders. Time alone can tell which
is right. But even If sufficient revenue
is produced. the fact that the bill is more
than anything else a promoter and feed
er of trusts will still remain true. Any
good the law may do in special cases viii
be more than offset by the general harm
it is sure to inflict upon the country.

he draws his check. Whether the money

the same volume Is 1equired to cousum-
mate the same commercial transactions.
In cities the payment OF debt,
whether by taking the money from the
pocket or by checking against bank
deposit, may be the means of paying a
number of debts during the day. 1or 1t Is
practicable for the money to pass rapid
ly from hand to hand. but in the country
| it is different The scarcer the popula-
ton the greater is the need for a.larger
volume of money per capita. Checks are
more frequently used in large transac-
lions. but the bulk of the smaller ones
are consummated by the payment Of
cash down. Statisticians say that $780,
900, 900 are required in our retail trade.
During the last few years business in
this country has been conducted by pay
ment of 81 per cent. cash, and 961k per
cent. on credit. which has caused an
enormous Indebtedness, and il forced to
immediate payment general bankruptcy
would be the inevitable, result. It does
not seem that volume of circulating
medium equal to ten per cent. of the
volume of domestic commerce would
produce redundancy. Our domestic COM
merce is fully $4,000, 900. 900 annually.
IL all our money were in actual and ac-
tive use the volume would not be more
than per cent. of the volume of domes-
tic trade; but 1t Is not all in circulation
and it cannot be because the law re-
quires that a large sum shall be held in
reserve
Insufiiciency of the circulating medi-
UNI is the greatest cause of the depres-
sion from which the country is suffer-
ing, and there cannot be appreciable en-
langement SO long as primary or redemp-
ton money is too small in quantity 1t
is not redundancy but stringency that
makes hard times, for he Is ignorant in
deed who does not know that when
money is scarce interest rates go up.
and wages and prices of property go
down. Soundness and sufficiency are the
two elements which, when combined,

THE FOOLISH PATIENT

There was once a mighty nation had a
very frightful spasm,
Induced by bad congestion Of the circulat-
ing system.
So they called in DR.. Cleveland, who re-
marked, II see he has 'em,
But my medicines are powerful; you'll find
he can't resist EN-"
He poulticed him and dosed him, and he
covered him with plaster;
He lanced him in the pocket, as the very
best position.
But every change Of treatment made the
patient fail the faster,
So the doctor scratched his head and went
to Buzzard's bay "fishin''
When the patient got so low they thought
he never would recover
They called in Doc Mckinley, who with
Cleveland got his schooling;
He thumped him, and he punched him, and
he wood him like lover,
But the patient kept a failing; says the
doctor, "he's a fooling!'
Thigh livlng's what's the matter" said the
doctor; II will bleed him.
So he lanced him in the stomach with his
little Dingley lancet;
The patient raised objections and request
ed that they feed him,
But the famous veterinary said he didn't
want to chance 1t.
Says the doctor, His condition isn't very
much to brag on,
But 1 now have found the trouble and can
diagnose it freely
At the Democratic supper he has got an
awful jag on,
And the only thing to help him is to take
the cure Of Keely!"
So he gave him gold for breakfast, and
he gave 1t for his dinner;
And he gave 1t for his supper, but in doses
awful meager
Still the patient kept complaining, and
kept also growing thinner,
And for wholesome bread and butter beg
ged SO pitiful and eager.
Just wait" says Doc Mckinley, "till the
| course is fully finished;
Then you'll find you're in condition for tc
fill your f1abby hide, sir!"
But the spasms still continued, and the
patients pulse diminished,
And before he got him done the foolish pa
tient up and died, sir!
