Law AND ORDER LEAGUE.

There was a movement inaugur-
ated at the court house Sunday
morning that it is fondly and rea-
sonably expected will result in &C
complishing much good in this
parish. For some time few5cit-
liens have had under considera-
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing
law and order league, the oh
jects being to maintain law and
order and see that all laws are
rigidly enforced. Saturday the
move assumed definite shape and
Sunday morning some twenty
Ave or thirty representative citiz-
ens-men representing the various
interests here-met at the court
house and went into organization.
Considering the short notice and
the intensely cold morning, the
attendance was very good, and
showed that the time was propit-
ious for such an organization.
Duncan F. Young, cashier of
the bank of Amite City was asked
to state the objects of the meeting
which he did in q concise manner.
Briefly, he said the meeting was
called for the purpose Of organic
ing a law and order league, thus
uniting the law abiding people of
this parish in a determined effort
to put down lawlessness and see
that the law is enforced and the

to condemn the sensational and
utterly false articles published in
certain New Orleans newspapers.
Temporary organization was
gone into by the election of David

prominent citizens enrolled their
names. Permanent organization

D. H. Sanders president and y. F.

"Resolved, That while lawlesS-

4 NEW WORLD BEING FORMED.

4 NEW WORLD BEING FORMED.
For The Progress
BRO, HICKS In the last issue
of the Progress I find an extract
from the Little River Ledger, that
a new world is thought to be about
ready to drop from the sun and
launch itself into space, and that
secular papers are referring to the
7th chapter of Revelations as an
explanation for the appearance of
this new world. The report may
be untrue, but in the event that it
was so do not see any cause for
alarm, for the all-wise Creator has
established laws governing celes-
trial bodies as we'll as those that
affect man.
Any one having conc over much
scientific research must stand
spell bound at the grandeur, the
wisdom and goodness Of God as
manifested throughout Creation.
Philosophy has endeavored to
account for the origin and forma-
ton of this globe on principles of
Gods immutable laws and rca-
son, at period too remote for
computation.
There was an accumulation of
atoms and particles that previous
ly composed the atmosphere of
the sun In process of time and
by the action of perpetual ener-
gies inherently exerting gradually
produced the oblatcly spheroidal
form of the earth and later the
moon. The diameter of the earth
must have been very great at this
time.
The whole body of atoms was
sustained in its appropriate posi-
ton by the mutual relations ex-
listing between it and the sun. The
force whichtE ey left the sun is term
ed repulsion and their association
is called attraction; and the posi-
ton of the earth in reference to
the sun is the result of what is
known as the claws of Attraction
and Rupulsion."
Our globe was at that time an
immense liquid sphere which was
agitated from centre to surface,
natural to a mass of uncondensed
and molten lava, while observing
the impulse of the force originally
given it, consequent y assumes
spheroid shape and as the devel-
opment becomes more perfect and

Cuba a voice In it's future government.
The Cubans are TO have no greater
suffrage in the government Of the
island than the Spanish residents there
who have elected TO renounce their 10y
atty to the queen regent If Blanco
elects to remain IN Cuba. his vote IN
the management Of Cpoa must have
equal weight with that of General Co
mez This government IS no., by any
moral obligation, expected to give any
one Individual in the incnoate govern
n1ent an advantage over another.
We have undertaken TO give Cuba
freedom. Freedom as America means
it, comprehends popular and unre-
stricted suffrage. This will be proffered
Cuba and all its citizens. no matter
what their former belief or standing.
And following that there does not ap-
pear to be any marked hope of the
island finally becoming part OF the
United States by annexation.
The first vote in Cuba will not be one
pro and con on annexation. for the
United States to submit hat question
first would be equivalent to outright
seizure, for with an army Of occupation
all about them the people would hard
ly vote any other way. A provisional
government will probably be establish
ed and an election will follow immedi-
ately after. II Gomez and Garcia carry
the election as they think they can,
their government will be exceedingly
moderate and mild as regards the for
rner Spanish loyalists. For 1t to be
otherwise would mean a descent upon
the island again by the United States.
The Gomez and Garcia president will
be. per force, just and merciful. Four
or eight years of his administration
Will sweep away all the idle apprehen-
sions Of the other residents of the
island and the government viii become
permanent.
Future annexation is only possible
through the event of some foreign
power menacing the Cuban government
and making the interference of this
government necessary.
The much-predicted revolution which
will occur in Free Cuba" will not ma
terialize Cuba, Spanish and insurgent,
is war-weary and peace in the future
will not be a thing to be frivolously

NOT COMING HOME.
broken,

In some quarters the fear is expressed
that we are to hear a great deal about
sham soldiers. It is apprehended that
the boys who enlisted and canped so
long at Chickamauga, Washington ana
San Francisco will come home to be
ridiculed.
Nothing of the kind Will happen. It
takes as much courage to enlist as it
does to wade up to the firing line Of a
battlefield. The average American does
not take kindly to military duty. He
values his Individual independence
highly. When he enlists he understands
that ne surrenders himself to the gov
eminent, places himself directly under
the discipline of a fellow citizen, an Of
ficer who rides in a Pullman while he
takes a day coach, a man who draws
a large salary and takes it COMPARE
lively easy while he is drilling and
working hard with a very small COM
pensation. The private gives up a great
deal at enlistment. If the government
has no need to rush him to the front
to get shot at for the sake of glory, it is
not his fault. Enlistment means that
he is perfectly willing to get shot at,
and that is the very next thing to being
a large.
So there will be no ridicule. There
may be a little quiet amusement when
the multitudinous, swelling officers will
have to relax their gripping hold on fat
salaries and come home with a mill
tary title that was never soiled by pow
der, but the private VINO can say that
he was lin the war" will not be asked
to designate whether he took part at
Santiago or Camp Alger. And he GER
tainly should knock down and walk on
the first stay-at-home who takes the
freedom of seeing anything ludicrous in
going into war and not getting shot.
However there is no prospect just
now that the boys are coming home,
Congress is to be called into special
session and the army will be retained.
It will take $4,000 men to occupy Cuba;
80, 600 TO occupy Porto Rico, and 10000
to occupy Manila

REMEMBER THE MAINE"

But for the sinking of the Maine
there might have been no war with Spain
over Cuba. The probabilities are that
Cuban independence, or at least free
dom from the Spanish rule would have
been otherwise encompassed. The
treacherous act which destroyed that
great battleship could only be settled
by wars stern arbitration. In fact,
Remember the Maine" became the ma
tion's war cry. Now when it comes to
fixing the terms Of peace the American
people demand that the Maine shall not
be forgotten The blood Of two hundred
and sixty enen who were given no
chance for their lives has been aveng
ed, but for the magnificent and costly
battleship there is only the wreck at
the bottom of the bay of Havana. The
destruction of this vessel should not

people to include the matter in the gen.

an indemnity for the families of the
sailors so ruthlessly sent into eternity
might prove satisfactory. But in some
specific and distinct way Spain must

EuRoPEs HEAD AGAIN.

There is only one thing lamentable
about our moderation in the conclusion
of this war and in our peace PROPOSE
tons Europe will misunderstood US.
We are not taking the Philippines body,
soul and breeches, simply and solely
because we do not want them, and be-
cause having taken them we would not
know what to do with them.
Our moderation is good. It is dem
onstration to ourselves that victory has
not made US bIoodthirsty. 1t is dem
onstration to ourselves that we were
not making a war of conquest under
the hypocritlcal guise Of helping the
poor people of Cuba. 1t is a demonstra-
ton to ourselves that we do not strike
a helpless nation when it is down.
But whatever we may think Of II,
continental Europe will account it an
evidence Of fear. There is good reason
to believe that Spain asked for peace
when she did, not to save her poorly
fed and never-paid soldiers in Cuba,
but the treacherous design to get this
country to make a demand in regard to
the Philippines which would be offens-
i've to Russia, Germany and France,
and bring those three nations actively
into the quarrel.
The latest advices indicate that Nc
kinney has met this trick by another
one On all questions but the Philip
pines he has made final propositions.
He has deferred action in regard to the
Philippines. Russia, Germany and
France will take this to be a cowardly
delay. Through such an inspiration we
are liable to have a few more high
links from Won Diedrich, and Admiral
Dewey may yet put shot through
German war ship and bring things up
standing.
Spain was led into the present war
by mistaking NIcKinley's anxiety to
preserve peace for difidence, and Eu-
rope. in the same way, has mistaken
moderation for fear.
We have asked a coaling station and
sufficient surrounding country to sus-
tain it, in the Philippines. That we
will have, in spite of all of Russia's
growls and the prowlngs Of all the Won
Diedrichs in the German navy. Any
aggression on the part of any one Eu-
ropean nation, or any two or three, for
that matter will be met promptly.
The United States is neither Turkey
nor Greece. We will settle our own
quarrel in our own way. If we desired
we Will take the whole of the Philip
pines,
We do not desire the Philippines.
They are on the wrong side of the
world. But If Spain succeeds in intro
ducing European complications into the
Philippines question, and continental
Europe takes an offensive hand in the
matter, we will speedily transfer the
islands to the only friend we have had
in this war-England, and if continent
al Europe sees fit to take that up-we
have the ships. the men and the money
and a friend with the largest navy in
the world and the greatest Amy.
our contest with Spain has been a
spat. If continental Europe desires to
see us make war. there is no method
for bringing the desire to a reality
more quickly than by a pernicious.
