May Bc War.

Spain asked our. government
early this week for the recall O1
Gen. Lee, our representative in
Cuba, when Pres't. Mckinley
promptly refused it, then Spain
FASTENED to deny that it was Il de.
mand, and withdrew the request.
But so strong are the symptoms of
war, in the face Of the undoubtell
proof continually increasing to show
that the Maine was blown up by
Spanianls, that every preparation
is being made for the worst. Con.
gress, on Wednesday, voted $780,
100000 for the national defense
without single dissenting vote
from Republican, POpulist or Dem
Ocrat, and the Senate was equally
strong in support Of the nations
honor and defense.
War has not been declared, and
may not be, but our relations with
Spain are so strained that no one
would to surprised ut such an an.
nOuncement at any moment, so
our government is cody, calmly
preparing to meet any emergency.
And it is gratifying to note the
absolute unanimity with which our
whole people come together at the
moment their country is insulted
or imperilled. Political ditferen.
ces, however bitter in the past,
are completely buried, and all par
ties and factions rally together un-
der the Stars and Stripes for the
honor and integrity of our United
States forever.

Roads.

Read our clippings on the ques.
ton of public roads, also the letter
from Mr.. Winn, on the same sub
ject. MIR. Winn is one of the lead.
ing citizens of ward 6, and a typi.
cal farmer, and his sentiments on
this question are the same as those
OF almost every citizen living in
the country. The farmers are
unanimous in their desire for bot
ter roads, and they will lay their
shoulders to the wheel of progress
in no uncertain manner for this
mnch-needed improvement.
We join Mr.. Winn in the inqui-
ry OF why the parish convicts are
not worked on the public roads
according to law. The parish has
to feed them, aud if they were put
to work, more of them would pay
the fine.
They could be worked on all the
roads leading into town, putting
these into such fine state of per-
fection as to benefit every man in
the parish who has to travel over
them. This could be done for 10
miles out in every direction. and
yet bring the convicts into the iail
every night, and thus cost verv
little extra expense.
We shall have moro interesting
matter ON this subject next week.
and would like to hear from the
friends of progress all over the
parish. We must never let nm
until much is accomplished along
this line.

LARGE SILVER CLUB
ORGANIZED LAST WEEK IN
OPELOUSAS.

The, largest club ever organized
for any purpose in Opelousas, tn
parish site of St. Landry, was th'
Free Silver Club organized ther,
last Monday, by Populists, Demo
Gratis and free silver men of al
parties.
1t was gotten up at the instance
OF the three great addresses from
the National chairmen of the Dem
ocratic, Populist and Silver Re-
publican parties issued a few weeks
ago, urging cooperation between
these three parties in the coming
campaigns against the gold mono
poly.
The resolutions were signed by
lit OF the leading lawyers, editors
and business men of that thriving
little city, headed by the Judge and
Dist. Atty. They read as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The Nation Chairmen
OF the free silver parties have is
sued calls to organize free silver
clubs in all the states, counties and
precincts; therefore be it
Resolved, That this Club shall
hereafter be known as q Free Sil.
yer Club, and all qualified voters
who favor either the Chicago Dem.
ocratic platform or the st. Louis
Peoples Party platform are eligi.
bic to membership hcrein; Be it
further
Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to support the nominees of
the Free Silver party; Be it fur
.ther
Resolved, That we favor the
Hon. W. j. Bryan as the standard
bearer of the Free Silver party at
the next Presidential election; Be
it further
Resolved, that we pledge our
selves to do all in our power to
elect none but known Free Silver
men to the House Of Representa-
tives at the coming November elec-

The Artful Dodgcr.
Editor Caucasian:

| A<NltoA SNVSlSlAus
New Orleans. March 4.-Yov
will have noted that the constitu
tional convention has got into &
Snarl, which seems to be inextrica
bic, on the suffrage question. An
explanation of this is quite easy.
Gov. Foster, a shrewd and utter
ly unscronpulous politician, whose
personal interests outweigh with
him all consideration for the pub
lie good, is bound hand and foot
by the ward bosses of this city.
The latter are opposed to a poll
tax qualification for suffrage be-
cause it will disfranchise large
portion. of the Dago element of the
city, and they absolutely control
the executive of the State, whose
abject slave he is. For q like rea-
son, the ward bosses, and conse-
qnentlY ''his exceIlency," are in
favor Of the clause which gives
preference to the illiterate for
eigner over the illiterate native.
There is no telling how the con-
test will end. There would be no
doubt on the subject if it were
waged between the solid country
delegation, hacked by a few hon
est members from the city, were
it not that Gov. Foster CAP control
a formidable number of country
members. who are influenced by
the question of spoils, past or pros
pective.
Ono would suppose that there
is nothing in the future for Foster,
IN whom many Of his supporters
and so-called friends have no con-
tidence and for whom they, on the
contrary, have a supreme con-
tempt, but those who so think un-
derrate the cohesive power of pub
lie plnnder. That astute indiyidu-
al is laying the pipes for election
to the United States Senate, and
for the accomplishment Of this end
he would balk at nothing-would
hesitate at no sacrifice of the pub
lie interest. Of course, bis sub
servient tools and boot licks in
North Louisiana and other portions
OF the State will set this down to
the score Of factional animosity,
but it is o. damning truth all the
same, and they in their hearts,
know it to be so.

which | think isa step in the right
direction. | DO think our public
roads are the next thing to dis
grace to our country. While | am
not able to give a better system of
improving our roads, | know the
present is very detective. You
speak of 4 road machine which
might be employed. | think that
isa good suggestion, and | will
add lii connection with the ma
chine. that We have a law enacted
that we may work our parish con-
victs on the public roads. To make
my position plain, l will call your
attention to the proceedings of our
courts. | was on the jury two
years ago, and there was no less
than 10 or 20 negroes arraigned
before the court for carry conceal
Ell weapons and other minor Of
fences, and the penalty was from
$40 to $50 and costs, or in default
OF payment Of tine fine, they were
given 20 days in Jail, without bcno-
tit Of hire. Now that is as good a
thing as they want; they lay in ia1l
20 days and are fed by the parish.
What does that class of people
care for the disgrace of imprison-
ment, so they get fed and have
nothing to doa You can readily
see that such cases as the above
cost the parish right snug little
sum of money. think it far bet
ter to make them pay the fine by
working the public roads.
