AS to the proposition to submit
the question to popular vote, little
need be said. The Jury should not
do so in the interest Of any class of
men, but whenever action is taken
it should be for the good of the
parish as whole. The people
have been nauseated with elections
and considering the general apathy,
no proper sense of the popular vote
could be obtained just now. In the
election next Tuesday for congress-
man and railroad com missioner, it is
hardly probable that more than $50
or 500 votes, at most, will be cast.
The test would hardly be fair just
now. Let the Jury therefore main
tain the high license at present fig
ures and if the saloon men desire
they may make test at the next
general election in the selection of
a Police Jury. Let the Jury con-
slider the welfare and good order of
the whole parish while listening to
such high sounding words Of the IL
Quor interest as ''pernicious, eide
bauchery," drunkenness" "cor-
ruption,' etc. Let that body con-
slider how much liquor has had to
do in this parish with the evils
above enumerated. Let 1t consider
the fearful burden Of criminal ex-
pcnse imposed by the traffic with
its conconnitant train OF evils too
numerous to mention.

Laughter is better than medicine,
and in ssThe Real Widow Brown"
not an instant is permitted to pass
unenlivened by mirth. According to
the plot, masquerading young
man personates an attractive widow
in a manner to discourage the at
tentions of an old deacon, in order
to get into the good graces of his
two comely daughters, and the
complications which follow are ex-
tremely ludicrous. UncommonlY
good specialties are introduced and
add to the general enjoyment and
merriment. This excellent attrac-
ton will be at Falk's opera-house
next Monday night.

Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts,,
for several decades a leading mem
Der Of the Republican party, de-
livcrcd an address at Worcester tn e
other day which is SO patriotic and
sensible that it should De read. by
every true American. Let us hope
that it will serve as note of warn
ing to the men Of both political
parties who are straying away from
the path marked out By the fathers
Of the Republic. Mr.. Hoar said:
"This year has been crowded
with history and crowded with glory.
with danger. The flag of Spain,
formerly the prouiest power on
earth since the day Of the Roman
empire, has gone down in darkness
and in blood before the victorious
navy a,id army of the United States.
The tllg Of the United States has
arisen in the Ia ste1n sky like a new
constellation. Let us not accept the
duties and res; possibilities Of this
victory in any temper Of vulgar
vainglory, still less Of a vulgar greed
Of power or of gain. The United
States GENES to these oppressed
people East and West, as a great
deliverer to deal with this great

grades and belittles it. We have
not overthrow Spain, we have not
nperiled the precious lives Of our
sons that we may add to our posses
sious or that we may make money
out Of our new relations. But yet
the first duty of the American people
is to themselves, and when I~say it
in no spirit Of selhshness or Of in
difference to the welfare Of mankind.
s:On the contrary, I believe that
the highest service the Anne rican
people can render to mankind and
to liberty is to preserve unstained
and unchanged the republic as it
came to us from the fathers. 1t is
by example, and not by guns or by
bayonets that the great work OF
America for humanity is to be &C
complished. In my opinion, we
are to-day in a great danger-a
| greater danger than we have en-
countered since the pilgrims landed
| at Plymouth. The, danger is that
| we are to be transformed from re-
| public founded en- the Declaration
of Independence, guided by the
counsels of Washington, into vui'
gar, commonplace empire founded
upon physical force.

out, on the doctrine of equality. If
we are to outstrip England in nation
al power it must be by pursuing our
own path and not following in hers.
cit it said that Porto Rico is al
ready ours. 1t may be that Porto
Rico is to become ours. But there
is no authority under the Constitu-
ton of the United States to acquire
any foreign territory, save by a
treaty approved by the Senate by a
two thirds vote, or by an act of
legislation in which the President,
the House of Representatives and
the Senate must unite. It is said
the Philippines are already ours by
right of conquest. For one deny
the alleged right Of conquest. HUI
man beings-men, women, chill
dren, peoples--are not to be won as
spoils Of war or prizes in battle.
It may be that such doctrine finds
place in the ancient and barbar-
Gus laws of war, but it has no pla Ce
under the American Constitution.
1t has no place in the code of
morals of the people Of the United
States. I have stated elsewhere the
conditions which, in my judgment,
warranted the acquisition of Ha-
wall Hawaii came to US with the
con sent If her own government, the
only government capable of main
tanning itself there for any consider
able length Of time. In the case Of
the Philippines we are asked to
subject a nation and to hold it in
subj ection. We got them by con-
quest and held them by force. In
the case of the Hawaiian Islands
we get them by compact made with
their lawful government.
t:Some of our good friends have
said thoughtlessly in their zeal that
where the American flag goes it
must stay. But surely they cannot
wish to commit the country TO that
doctrine. We planted it in the city
Of Mexico. But no man demanded
tnat it sh ould stay there. If the
war goes on we shall plant it on the
coast Of Spain, but we have no de-
sire to hold permanent domini on
t.,ere.
elf the Philippine Islands be-
come ours then under the late de-
cision Of the Supreme Court every
child hereafter born IN them be-

come, free to go. Are you going
to hold them as subjects? Are you
going to have trained and governing

rational tax gatherer, the most fire.

every American house? Are you
going to increase manifold national
debt?

Should Publish the Law.

Since Mr. Burgess has directed the
police to arrest all persons riding bicycles
on the sidewalks and brand them as law
breakers, it would be in order that he
look up the law Oh the matter and have
it published, that all persons and law
abiding citizens might know it.
There are many people who candidly
think there is no law directly prohibiting
sidewalk riding and that the Burgess aud
his sub, ordinates are exceeding their au-
thority in the matter. Better make it
plain.
1t has been observed that in cities and
towns where the whcclmen are ordered
off the sidewalks, they have streets that
are in a decent and passable condition
and are not obliged to ride through mud
HOES, and over coarse gravel banks that
are seldom allowed to become packed
and solidied because of the semi. annual
visit Of that magic remedy (?) for bad
roads-thc road scraper.

BaItIeship and Cruiser.

The difference between battleship
and an armored cruiser is technical,
and experts have stumbled over the
matter. A battleship is supposed to
have heavier guns and armor and to
be better fitted to withstand hard
knocks from an opposing force. But
this does not always hold good, as may
be seen in the case of the Maine as
compared with the Brooklyn. The
Maine was battleship, but she was
not so large nor so heavily armored as
the armored cruiser Brooklyn. On one
point there seems to be no dispute,
and that is the fact that the cruisers
are faster than the battleships, and it
is conceded also that in most instances
the battleships are better protected -

Ratt!er'S Fatal Bite,

William Daugherty, of near Ham,
mersley's Forks, was bitten by rattle
snake last Wednesday night and died
from the effects in a few hours.
Mr. Daugherty was quite an old man,
who worked on farm owned by his
brother. Because of the heat Daugh-
erty declined to sleep in the house, pre-
ferring bed of straw in the barnyard.
Wednesday night the old mans i'm
provised bed was shared by lad aged
about Is years. When the latter awoke
in the morning he was Mortified at the
sight of his bedfellow. Dougherty was
unconscious. His face, hands and up
per part of his body were terribly dis
colored and swollen. On closer in
spection the boy saw monster rattle
snake coiled against the old mans
body. The reptile ratified and writhed
at being disturbed, but the boy killed
it in short order. 1t measured over
five feet in length, and had fifteen
rattles.
Efforts were made to arouse Dough.
erty, but they all proved futile and
the unfortunate man died in an hour.
His body was greatly swollen.
An examination of the body showed
that the snake had inflicted the fatal
bite on the back of the neck AS the
venom spreads very rapidly through
the system, the old man doubtless
realizing what had happened. Two
other rattlers were killed near where
Daugherty and the boy had slept

ought to give the boys encouragement
of a substantial nature as every game
of ball played here, brings trade to the

You Have COMPANY,

1t appears to be the general opinion
of all business men in Mexican county
make collections than at the present
time. Evidently the Mexican county
business men are not reaping any ma
terial benefits from the immense daily
expenditures for war purposes. The
only way to make good times is for
every one to make an effort to pay his
honest debts when they fall due. If
every one would do this money would
be more plenty, and there would be
less complaint of hard times Care
lessness in meeting ones obligations is
what stagnates all kinds of business -

Farewell Reception.

The many members of Father Nc
Adams congregation, rendered him a
most pleasant surprise in the form of a
reception, on Tuesday evening. prior to
his leaving for his new field Of work at
Johnsonburg, Pa.
The reception was held in the base
ment of the St Mark Church and was
not confined to the members Of his
church alone but to large number OF
ncighbors aud friends, who took this
favored opportunity to bid their beloved
pastor, citizen and friend farewell and to
wish him God speed and the greatest
measure Of success in the new charge
to which he has been called.
After refreshments We're served a com,
mittee of the congregation, composed of
Mrs. John Cummings, Mrs. Bernard
Egan and Miss Bridget Creighton, pre-
sented the Rev gentleman, on behalf Of
his flock, with purse containing S1l5

his success in his new sphere of action
and God-speed on his journey. There
