AN EXPLOsIoN.-The steamer s..
commanded by Captain S., exploded
several years ago with terrible effect
and burned to the waters edge. Cap
tain S. was blown into the air, alight-
ing near a floating cotton bale, upon
which he hoated uninjured, but much
blackened and muddied. Arrived at
a village several miles below, to which
news of the disaster had preceded him,
he was accosted by the editor of the
village paper, with whom he was well
acquainted, and eager for an item.

The other started ON a run for his
Office. The paper was about to 60 to
press and, and not wishing to omit the
item of intelligence for the next issue,
two weeks off, wrote as follows:
"The steamer S. has burst her
boiler, as we learn from Captain s.,
who says he was up long enough to
think of every mean thing he ever
did in his life before he lit. We sup
pose he was up about three months" "

SoUEAKED ONCE Too OFTEN
Maccabe, the ventriloquist, was great
practical joker. Several years ago ne
was on board a river steamboat, and
having made friends with the engin'
eer, was allowed the freedom of the
engine room. Presently certain part
of the machinery began to creak. The
engineer oiled it and went about his
duties. In the course Of a few min.
utes the creaking was heard again, and
the engineer rushed over, oil can in
hand, to lubricate the same creak
Again he resumed his post, but it wa:
only a few minutes before the same
old creak was creaking louder than
ever.
"Great Jupiter!" he yelled, "the
things bewitched."
More oil was administered, but the
engineer began to smell rat. Pretty
soon the crank squeaked again, when
slipping behind Maccabe, he squirtec
a pint of oil down the joker's back.
"There," said he, guess that crank
won't squeak any more"

FOUND THE ENDs.-An Irishman
who was out of work went on board a
vessel that was in the harbor, and
asked the captain if he could find him
work on the ship.
"Well," said the captain, at the same
time handing the Irishman piece OF
rope, eff you can find three ends to
that rope, you shall have some work. "
The Irishman got hold of one end OF
the rope, and showing it to the cap
tain, said, "That's one end, you hon
or" Then he took hold of the other
end, and, showing it to the captain as
before, said, "And that's two ends,
your honor" Then taking hold OF
both ends of the rope, he threw it
overheard, saying, "And, faith, there's
another end to it, your honor" He
was engaged.

THE MONARCH PEOPLE,

We believe, are the most enterprising and
liberal in the bicycle trade, and have de-
termined to give those who failed to get
a Defiance wheel something equally as
good, if not better, for the same money,
and, therefore, have notified us that they
still have in stock limited number OF
1897 S75 Monarchs which they will fit
with 1898 tires and saddles and authorize
us to sell them at the low price Of $3.50.
There is no better value on the market
than these wheels. Every one of them
is backed by liberal guarantee. These
wheels will be furnished in %, "a and
and 26-inch frame, for men, and 20 and
% for ladies. You can't do better unless
you buy 1898 Monarch and they are alb
solutely the best on the market with
eyery tIn-to. date feature

If Monarch rider does not keep in

critical moment-or any other. Monarchs
stand up and keep out of the repair shop.

REFORM The ZLIDIcZARY

Mansfield Journal. 4.
The reform of the judiciary sys-
tenn of the State has been the cry
for many years, and the people
anticipate the panacea will be pro-
vided through the constitutional
convention, says the Caucasian.
The citizens of Caddo parish, at
least, as declared at the December
2, 1897, primary, are in favor of
remodeling the present court sys-
tenn, including the appellate, the
district and justice of the peace
courts, SO as to reduce the cost and
unnecessary expenses, which are a
burden on the taxpayers, and favor
system which will secure the
greatest efficacy compatible with
the public good.
In his charge to the grand jury,
Hon. A. u. Land, judge of the 1st
judicial district court, emphasized
in strong, sensible words the ne
cessity of reform, and stated that
over one-half of the cases which
the grand jury would consider
during their sitting consist of mis-
demeanors, which in other States
are tried in justice of the peace
and police magistrate courts. I'm
der the present system the case of
a man arrested for a trivial offense
such, for instance, as using vulgar
language in public hearing, or a
common assault, a petit larceny,
or, perhaps, violation OF the road
law, is presented to the grand jury,
before whom many witnesses are
summoned, and if bill be returned,
then the same witnesses appear in
the cases called for trial by jury
OF twelve men, to say nothing of
the cost to the parish Of keeping
the prisoner in Jail from the time
Of his arrest until his acquittal or
conviction by jury.
This is one of the many features
of the present system which must
be reformed. AL trivial cases, not
involving confinement in the pen:-
Tertiary for more than ten years
should be settled in the courts of
justice of the peace. And instead
of permitting the accused TO be
maintained at ease in Jail growing
fat and sleek at the expense of the
taxpayers, he should be tlieu with
out unnecessary delay, and if con-
victed required to work on the
public roads.
Reform is desired and expected
by the people.

CHAMP CLARK ON CUBA.
"If Spain does not bring the war
to speedy conclusio n, the United
States ought to expel her fir the
Western Hemisphere. There can

our traditional foreign policy.
What our foreign policy is under
the Mckinley administration, like

Outstanding.
"In these days Of Nc Hannaism
our foreign policy is so feeble, SO
cringing, so cowardly, that even
old and decrepit Spain insults our
flag, maltreats our citizens and
searches our ships with perfect i'm
punity; and President Mckinley,
instead of sending men of-war to
protect our honor, assert our su-
premacy and teach the insolent and
impotent dons a lesson they would
never forget, passes the hat around

contribute aims for starving and

bureaus for questionable debts, as

is this: For three years the insur-
gents have fought with a courage
and suffered with afortitude that has
challenged the admiration of the
