there was a general discussion of the pro-
posed Anglo-American alliance. The prin-
cipal speech OF the evening was delivered
by Whitelaw Reid.
Speaking of the proposed Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance Mr.. Reid said IL was no new
inspiration, born OF any sudden emergency.
but that the foremost statesmen, men of
letters. men of business and publicists on
both sides of the water had long given it
utterance. He Endorsed the words Of the
late Mr.. Gladstone, who spoke a dozen
years ago Of an absolutely good under
standing between England and the United
States as a prospect at once majestic, in
spring and consolatory."
The Right Rev. Bishop Potter. ID. D., con-
fined his remarks to a few anecdotes relat-
ing TO the queen.
President Patton. OF Princeton university.
spoke at length on what the universities Of
America owe TO those Of England. He
concluded by saying that Americans should
have a warm feeling toward England. on
account OF the help she had given America
and the attitude OF the British press at
tho present time.

MAKE THEM NOR K

If parish convicts were forced
to work out their fincs-thcy were
unable to pay-on the public
roads, this, with heavy penalties
imposed, would prevent the COM
mission Of many misdcmcanors
now recklessly indulged in.
We know of the arguments
used, that it is too expensive to
hire guards to watch convicts.
But this is only trifle, compared
with the protection due the peace
full public. And again, we doubt
if the direct cost of guard hire
would be greater than is the cx-
pense OF continual Jail fees, pros
ecutions; etc.
We say continual, because the
average negro loafer cares little
for a jail sentence; while the
country negro, having the light
sentence imposed for carrying
concealed weapons in view, will
risk the chances of being caught,
and will put a pistol in his pock~
ct, sure, when he starts TO town,
We believe ourselves safe in the
statement that ninoty-iive per
cent of the country negroes come
to town, armed.
This terrible practice, carrying
a concealed weapon, one Of the
most vicious and demoralizlng TO
civil society of all misdemeanors,
could be wonderfully curtailod by
the imposition Of heavy sentences
and forcing the pauper convicts to
do duty on the parish roads,

Tho fire insurance rate in this

And it can be reduced very
materially, by the proper effort
made.
Let the retail dealers OF Shreve-

ply, through the local Board OF

fails, let them send a committee
