1t Puzzled Him.

A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend q conven-
ton Of church people was struck
with the beauty of the little town
in which the gathering was held.
He had plenty OF time, says the st.
Joseph News, and while wandering
about walked into the village ceme-
terry. 1t was beautiful place, and
the delegate walked around among
the graves. He saw a monument,
one Of the largest in the cemetery,
and read witll.surprise the inscrip-
ton on il:
"A Lawyer and an Honest Man."
The delegate scratched his head
and looked a. the monument again.
He read the inscription sover and
over. Then he walked around
the monument and examined the
grave closely. Another man in the
cemetery approached and asked
him: "Haye yon found the grave
of an old FRIEND? 2. mo-" said the
delegate, 'but l was wandering
how they came to bury those two
fellows in one grave"

COUNTERFEIT
Two Million Silver Dol
lars i'm Circulation.

Denver, March 12.-During the
past two weeks the attention of the
business part of the city has been
attracted to the unusually large
number of counterfeit silver dollars
that are in circulation. The coun.
terfeits are SO remarkably close i,ni-
tations of the genuine coin that it is
almost impossible to detect them,
and even government experts are
frequently at loss TO choose BE-
tween the false End true.
1t is thought there are vast uum
bers Of them in circulation AT the
mint it is stated that the situation
is SO serious that the treasury has
made it the subject of u commune
cation to Congress regarding the
propriety Of adopting a new device
for the coin 1t is estimated that
there are fully two million dollars
worth Of these spurious coins in cir
culation in the country.
All that have been found bear the
marks Of the New Orleans mint,
a lower case 80" Immediately I'M
der the eagle and dated 1888. The
governmer. is making every effort
to detect the men engaged in this
business, so far without success.
though it is believed that they are
made somewhere in the South.

So much has been said about tho
possible damage to our country
and commerce by war with Spain,
tina. il will not be amlss to see what
would be the result if war should
come.
Spain can only attack US with a
fleet that is strong enough to draw
our fleets from the ocean. Spain
has one first-class battleship with
modern high power guns. The
United States has five, the Oregon,
Iowa. Texas, Massachusetts, and
Indians, either of which is more
than a match for the Spanish ship.
leaving four unoccupied. Spain has
two second-class batlleships, the
Vizcaya, lately in New York harbor
being one; the United States has
two. The United States has six
sea-going coast defense vessels
monitors that are double .urreted
and capable of destroying any bat
Il. ship in the world. It has four
teen single turreted monitors of
nearly as great power. Spain has
twelve protected or partially pro-
tected cruisers. The United States
has sixteen, better in every respect
that is in armor, speed and arma-
ment, than the Spanish. Spain has
four and the United States has five
cruisers, and the United
States can add one hundred to this
number from its auxiliary navy.
Spain has a larger number of small
er gunboats, torpedo boats and tor
pedo destroyers masquerade
fleet, not one of which could cope
with Or escape from any OF our
cruisers. Besides these Spain has
q large number Of old wooden ships,
and if all Of them were manned and
sent to sea. the New York or Brook
lyn could destroy all of them with
out ever coming in range of their
guns. No one need be uneasy
about the result of Spanish war.

Keep Off the Grass.

Chicago, March l1.-"No free
American Catholic will talk of es-
pousing the cause of Spain agains,
that of this country because the
former is Catholic nation.'' said
Archbishop Ireland in an interview
here to-day.
ITO do that is to set oneself down
traitorously inclined to the teachings
of his religion, as well as to his
country, which it is his bounden
duty 10 defend against all enemies,
both internal as well as EXTERNAL
II any religious denomination, OF
political party, in the United States,
were to espouse the cause of Spain,
in the present crisis, or take sides
against this Government at any time,
it would be decidedly unhealthy for
them.

A Good Suggestion.

The Torrens system of lane
transfers is an importation from
Australia. 1t s,mplilies aud rem.
ders easy the transfer of rea
estate titles, and removes vas,
amount of uncertainty and doubt
about the real ownership Of land.
1t renders the transfer of land as
easy as the transfer OF certificate
of bank stock. In fact, a certificate
very much like a stock certificate is
is tile evidence OF ownership.
Some of the Northern States
which have ATTEMPTED to use this
system have been blocked by an
uquated constitutions. Illinois has
made two attempts To get it, and II
is seriously proposed to remodel
The constitution of that State to re-
move the objections. While our
constituticn-makers are at work.
they ought to provide for this
important reform-make it possible
when the people decide to have it,
without having to make another
change in the constitution
Il now costs anywhere from S25
to 5000 to find out for certain who
is the proper owner OF piece of
land. Our present system is ex-
pensive, uncertain, provoking and
out OF date. There is not q bit of
sense of being old-fashioned in
way productive of SO much trouble
ana injustice.
Gentlemen of the convention,
this is matter worthy of the at
tention OF the biggest man among
you. Monroe News.

A Useful Life Ended.

Henry Heisser, of jacksonville, La.
died Thursday, February "a. 1898, aftel
an illness which confined him to his
bed for one month. All that medical
skill could do was summoned to re-
lieve the sufferingS of this good mar
and enterprising citizen, coupled with
the efforts of his dear children and
grandchildren, who administered to
every want, ana stood by his bedside
until the spark of life took its flight for
that country from whence no traveller
has ever been known to return.
The deceased belonged to that class
of Germans who have left the impress
of their industry and inventive genius
upon the early history of our common
country, and who have contributed in
large measure to our standing as q
manufacturing country among the ma
lions of the earth. Mr.. Heissef was
born in Hamburg, Germany, OH March L,
1914, to the union of Abraham and
Annie Heisser-his mothers maiden
name was De Vliger. When he was
twenty years old, he SHIPPED ON a Ger
man vessel as ship carpenter. at Ham
burg, continuing on the same We sci
two years, until 1886, when he sailed to
New York. He left the German vessel
there and engaged with an American,
ON which he made two trips, from New
York to London, England. In 1887 he
came to New Orleans, La, worked ut
ship carpentering in connection with
engineering on the Mississippi river,
until 1889. In 1910 he came to Madi-
sonviile, La, and resumed work at his
trade in shipyards ut that place about
two years. In partnership with Will
liam Temans he fitted up boat and en-
gagged i'm the same business for about
eighteen months. He merchandised
with Mr.. NOVEL; for some time, then
subsequently followed farming and
stockraising for a number of years, and
in 1866 he embarked in the sawmill
business on the Tchefuncta river, doing
business there fifteen years. In 1881
he erected a sawmill at MadisOnville,
La. and in 1888 Theodore Dendinger
became his partner. In the fall of 1897
their mill was destroyed by fire. Then
Mr.. Theodore Dendinger formed .
partnership with his son, Mr.. c. II.
Heisser, who have now in course of
construction, nearing completion, q
mill of much larger capacity aud UNI
facilities, which will eAable
them to fill all orders promptly and .ac-
curately.
Mr.. Heisser leaves q wife aud five
children. three sons and two daughters,
to mourn his death.
His soul floats In yonder world
A luminous scene presenting,
His gray hair trailing his head,
And sweet beyOnd all seeming
We may not say homes; he was.
We cannot say it-nearly.
He was more than a jewel to US,
And we've loved him dearly.

To Prohibit Convict
Leasing.

The following ordinance for til,
abolition OF the convict lease sys.
tenn has been introduced by Judge
Thompson of this parish:
l. No pen,tentiary convict shall
ever be leased or hired to any per.
son or persons or corporations, pr.
vate or public, or quasi-public. Oh
board, save as authorized, in the
next section, provided that this ar.
ticle shall take effect upon the ex.
tinguishment OF the lease made
pursuant to Act No. ia. approved
July 10. 1890.
2. The General Assembly may
authorize the employment under
State supervision and the proper
officers and employees Of the State,
Of convicts on public roads, or other
public works, or in convict farms or
manufactures Owned or controlled
by the State. un0er such provisions
and restrictions as may be imposed
by law.
Mr.. Brezeale has also introduced
an ordinance having the same OBJ
ject in view.
We are GLAD to see that this mat
ter is to come up for consideration
before the convention. The most
advanced thinkers, students Of the
lease system in the several States
where it is still in operation. hu-
manitarians and economists, alike
agree that the time has come for
the removal from our statutes of
the pernicious law which subjects
the convicts to the possible tortures
which are too frequently inflicted
upon them by the brutal and ire
sponsible guards employed in the
lease camps.
Economy ard humanity alike de-
mand that the States convicts be
under State supervision
upon the public works OF the State.
1t is 20 be hoped that Judge
ordinance will be in
corporated in the organic law. -

Praise for FitZhugh Lee.

1t is certainly gratifying to the
people of the South to know that
Northern newspapers, Republican
and Democratic alike, are eulogistic
OF the masterful manner in which
General Fitzhugh Lee, as Consul
General OF the United States, is in
the present crisis discharging the
duties OF his office. Even the Ohio
State Journal, the recognized Or
gan of President McKinley's adj
ministra,ion, in the Buckeye State,
has nothing but words of praise for
the ex-Confederate officer who has
shown himself to be loyal. patriotic
and worthy of the confidence OF the
American people. Commenting on
this fact, the Pittsburg Post saws:
''Rumors have reached the Rich
mond dispatch that in case of war
with Spain, Fitzhugh Lee is to be
made Major General Of the United
States army. The Washington
correspondent of Dispatch says he
has it on pretty good authority
that the intention of President
Cleveland was thus to honor the
Consul General. and that President
Mckinley, feeling that it would re-
ceive the unqualified Endorsement
of the American people, has deter
mined to make the appointment in
case hos.ilitles are declared. Gen
eral Lee deserves we'll Of the coun-
try. He has COMMANDED the re-
spect aud confidence of all Ameri-
cans bv his steadfast upholding in
Cuba of the National dignity and
by RETAINING from any word or
act calculated to force hasty action
or unnecessarily to embitter the
relations of spain and the United
States"
The people OF the North canlrest
assured that il war comes General
Lee will promptly respond to the
call of duty and with him the flower
of southern manhood. The people |
of this section of the country realize |
that they will have to bear the brunt
Of the fighting, but they are conf
dent Of their ability to be equal to
the occasion.

The Pension Scandal.

1t is a hopeful sign that the poll
ticians are waking up to the fac,
that the pension list is a scandal.
For dozen years or more every
writer on Democracy, here and in
Europe, has treated the pension
list as an evidence against the eff
cacy and honesty of our form of
government. Although our pen
sion statesmen have been lauding
their votes and their own conduct
i'll this matter as the republics
generosity to the old soldiers who
risked their lives for the Union, no
one has been deceived. Observers
who live in this country and who
are obliged to help pay the bills,
and observers abroad, like Mr..
Bryce and Mr.. Lecky, all have
known that the self-vaunting poll
ticians have been spending the
public funds primarily in their
own behalf-in brief for the buy
ing of the votes by giving PEN
sions.
Nor have they cared whether a
pension was deserved or not
whether it went to disabled old
soldier unable to support himself,
to a young widow who has married
a pensioner, to prosperous man
not needing the governments
bounty but taking it ON the ground
of being unable to support himself
by manual labor, or to a deserter or
a coward. The time has now come
when the country wants the names
of its benefciaries, and to that end
the pension list ought to be pub
lished. 1t ought to posted in the
postoffice of every community, so
that it may be read by the PEN
sioners' neighbors. The country
would be glad TO know If all de-
serving soldiers are on the rolls,
who are those whose acceptance of
of the governments gifts mark
them as mendicants, and sometimes
as dishonest observation-disclosures

A Sermon on War.

Washington, March 13.-Presi-
dent Mckinley occupied his pew
at the Metropolitan Church this
morning and listened to a sermon
by DR.. Hugh johnson, his pastor,
which dealt at some length and
quite directly with the problem
which most thoroughly engrosses
the Presidents mind. He took the
Spanish situation for luis text, and
during his discourse SAID:
Zone thing is certain, we shall
not have war unless there is abso-
lutte justification for it. The digni-
ty and honor of the nation shall be
upheld, and American loyalty and
bravery remain untarnished as ever,
but the calm and firm attitude Of
the Chief Executive assures US that
neither by prejudice, passion,
popular clamor, hysteria or ambi-
ton will this nation be involved in
a deadly strife. Secure from inva-
sion, with inexhausuble wealth and
resources, with a people full of the
martial spirit and able to put TO-
900, 900 of soldiers into the field and
cover the seas with battleships, what
have we to fear from a bankrupt
nation that cannot even subdue
10000 to 10000 ragged, ill-fed and
poorly equipped Cuban insurgents,
or from an alliance of France and
all the Latin nations against us?
Come the three corners of the world
in arms and we shall shock them.
''But this power is controlled by
intelligence, patriotism and Chris
tian principle, and only stern duty
to humanity and civilization, just
relations with our fellow-men and
national honor will lead us to let
loose the dogs of war. Desiring
and praying for peace, let us hope
that the extent and vigor of these
war preparations will avert the con-
flicL and assist the cause of peace.
