While speaking to the Odd Eel
lows the other day in Duluth, Mr..
Towne branched off into a talk on
imperialism" He said that the
greatest force among nations had
been that intangible diffusion of the
fragrance of our laws and liberties,
and the irresistible example of orr
republican practices. He held that
for government founded on the
proposition that "all men are
created equal, and the necessarily
implied principle that governments
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed" to compel
another race to accept ita sovereign
ty, would be to repudiate the funda-
mental idea of the republic and to
shatter the traditions of more than a
century. No progress either to- men
or nations that is not made in pur-
suit ii some ideal. To surrogate by
our own conduct the principle OF the
right to self-government would be
like tearing the pole star from the
sky. Losing the high inspiration,
the sublime and saving conscious.
ness OF a dedication to liberty, the
American people would soon be in a
moral condition to welcome at home
the tyranny which they had permit
ted in their name abroad. Colonial
ism is a menace to naticnalism. It
is the doorway to the empire; the
empire is the death of the republic.
The preservation of the republic,
with all it's facts of freedom and all:
it's ideas ofliberty, ie the very essence
OF the preservation of all that is
priceless and profitable in the insti-
buttons of the United States. 81 ~

The president told the southerners
that the destiny of this country was
to do great things for mankind.
The light has dawned on the presi-
dents mind. Sore ten months ago
he was trying to hold the country
back from war which the people
wanted. He gave in. He has pro-
crossed from anti-war, anti-expan-
sion statesman TO the most rabid OF
imperialists.

The Minneapolis Tribune seeks to
find political good for the repubh-

the PRESIDENT in the south, when the
fact is that the people there were
glad to find a republican leader who
would at last admit that the South
was equal in patriotism to the North.

in locating the famous lecture,
and in the course of the search for it
evidence was encountered that it had
been purposely put out OF eight. In the
beginning several ''Cush" Davis men
were found who had printed copies, so
they said, but when the motive for find
ing them was suspected not ore could be
located. The senator himself, being d.
rectly asked by a friend. Hon. W. H.
Grimshaw, of Minneapolis, who had
volunteered to procure a copy, stated
that he had furnished the only copy he
had to one Of the Twin, City libraries.
But it was not to be found there. The
senator's old time publisher, the ST..

stated. that they had had it but were.
out, but that the senator would supply
it to any address left with them. The
senator himself afterwards declared that

Osburu Powell, one of our best
colored men in the parish, living on
Live Oak plantation, went out hunting
on Friday last with his Winchester, and
as il has happened many tunes before
went TO crawl through fence, pulling
his gun TO him by the barrel. when in
some way 1t went of, the ball going
clean through his lungs. He fingered
until Sunday morning, When he died
from the effects of the wound. This
careless way of handling a gun goes
on and accidents of The same kind oc-
cur almost dayly, wheu the person
knows that il is dangerous aud all acct
dent liable TO happen.
Osburn Powell was an industrious,
hardworking colored man, who at
tended 10 his own business and made a
good living. We are sorry that such a
good man should be taken away in
such manner.

Mr.. Gus Bernd, of Macon, Ga, was
in town the latter part of last week and
for few days this week, and we had
| the pleasure of shaking hands and
| chatting for sometime with our boy
hood friend. Gus was born and raised
in our parish, aud has many friends
who are always glad to see him. He
is in prosperous business in Macon
and is doing we'll. His mother is in
good health, although passed the age
of three score and ten, and her many
friends in her old home wish her many
years yet to come.
Mr.. Bernd showed US paper that
he prizes very highly. "The Carroll
Watchman," of date of November 5th,
1858. In the heading of the paper ap-
pears block of large buildings and in
the street is seen railroad track with
locomotive rounding = curve. The
Democratic ticket published in this
paper gives the following names:
For Congress, John Perkins, Jr., of
Madison; for State Treasurer, &. E.
Greueaux, Of Natchitoches; for Auditor
of Public Accounts. S. f. Marks, of
West Feiiciana; for Superintendent of
Public Education, j. N. Carrlgan, of
East Baton Rouge; for Senator, DR.
George D. Shsdburne; for Representa-
tive, Simeon w. Taylor.
In local on the terrible epidemic of
yellow fever that visited this town in
1858, il says "that out of remaining
population left in our town, after the
decided appearance of the epidemic, OF
not more than 2s0, not less than 1870,
nearly so per cent. perIshed." 1t then
gives the list of names of those who
succumbed to the terrible disease.
There are. very few living to-day
who were citizens of our town in 1853,
aud not over half dozen or so of the
old inhabitants are left.
