Wonderful Financiering

Grant Parish! Out OF debit!
Money on handl!!
Populists done IT'LL!
Amt going in debt any more, either,
unless the same gang gets in again.
Peoples Demands.
Yes, yes; the old gang only expended
$1,000 or $1,000 for the brick Jail and a
set Of steel cages, $4,000 or 5000 for the
building and repairing of bridges, largely
occasioned by the overflow of 1892, and
about $1,000 for court house, grand and
petit jury rooms, iron safes for the
clerks Office. etc.; and, as the courts
proved to be unusually expensive, they
committed the awful offense of going in
debt about 5000. All the same, the
parish has something to show for the ex-
penditur6. The present Populist police
jurors have virtually done nothing but
set down and draw their salaries for the
last two years, and of course they have
got the parish out of debt!

The War Ship Name.

The civilized world was startled
and Mortified at the news flashed
around tho continents on the MORN
ing of the 10Th, telling of the
blowing up of tho U. s. line of
battle ship, Maine, in the Havana
harbor, about 10 o'clock on the
night of the 18th. The Maine was
a second-class battle ship, standing
tenth on the list of our steel clad
war vessels, as to strength and Of
fsctiveness to do battle. Her full
crew when completely manned con-
sists of $40 men, and she was arm
ed with revolving turret guns, rap
id firing guns for close quarters,
electric search lights, and all the
improvements of modern warfare.
At the time of the explosion she
had a crew of 674 men, of whom
263 are reported as having been
killed outright, while more than
that number were wounded and in
jured by the terrific conclusion.
The cause of the explosion has
thus far been mystery, but grave
fears are entertained that it is the
result of foul play. The Maine
was sent to Havana to protect the
interest of Americans in the long,
continued Spanish Cuban troubles,
and her presence is said to have
given the Spaniards great offense.
Two theories are advanced for the
explosion, spontaneous or accident
al combustion in the ship, or the
work of an enemy by masked dyna-
mite battery or torpedo. A court
of inquiry composed Of naval off,
GERS has been sent to Havana to in
vestigate the affair. and divers have
been at work all the week examin-
ing the vessel and rescuing the
dead from the wreck. The ship is
to be raised, and Congress has APP
propriated 100000 for that pur-
pose, tho contract having been
awarded to New York wrecking
company. The Maine originally
cost $4,000, 900, and it is said that
one-ffth of this amount will put
her IN order again.
Intense interest is felt by all the
people of the United States in the
result of the court of inquiry. If
it is established that this terrible
holocaust of death is the work of
Spaniards, the result is almost GER
tain to be a declaration of war, In
which event Spain will receive q
richly deserved thrashing. The
United States war vessels are fully
three times as numerous as those
of Spain, and about five times her
superior as to strength and effect
iveness, SO that war with Spain
is matter very little to be dreaded.
OF course if the explosion is the
work of fanatic, and the Spanish
government disowns the act, and
will pay for the wanton destruction
of life anc! property, the United
States will be forced under the
rules of civilization to accept a
peaceful settlement of the matter.
