ALI. WOULD WAIVER.

Wetzel Democrat.
Henry c. Davis is mentioned for a
possible candidate for Governor. A
little early but it does no harm. We
are told that he is a Democrat who
has never wavered. We are reminded,
however, that he wavered powerfully
on Billy Wilson. So he did: but per-
haps if it were also to do over again.
we would all waver a little. Mr.. Davis
would make an impressive candidate
and would cause the other fellow to
make the hustle of his life.

rapidly by the machinery
The company is building new mill
in the lower yard and also a machine
for the manufacture of prismatrc
powder, which is to be the largest in
the world. The wages of the COM
pany's employees recently have been

CUT TIE WEEDS.

We understand that owing to the
depleted condition Of our munich
pal treasury the City Council does
not see its way clear to having the
streets proper ly worked. 1t would
perhaps be asking too much of
every propertvholder to have the
street facing his property put in
good condition, but it strikes US
that the Council should at least re-
qulre every householder or prop-
erty-owner to cut the weeds in front
of his residence or place Of bust
ness. 1t would cost but very little
to each, and there is no reason WHY
1t should not be done at once.
We dare say that there isn't a resi-
dent in Lafayette who would not
that much toward i'm
proving the town. 1t there should
happen to be some so insensible to
municipal pride, they can be made
to do their share by the adoption of
he proper ordinance. Let the
Council take up this matter at its
1ext meeting. /

VOUVG HEROES

In the war which has justed ended
Louisianians were not given an
opportunity to attest upon the field
of battle the bravery and heroisn,
70 characteristic of their race. The
heroes who sleep at Santiago are
not from Louisiana. They are the
sons of other States of this glorious
Republic. But although Louisiana
boys did not die on the field of battle
amid the roaring of cannon and
musketry, many of them gave up
their young lives in the cause of
humanity. Poor BERTHE Sneed was
as much a hero as the most heroic
soldier who fell at Ell Caney O. San
Juan. Wood Lee, the gallant young
captain of Company E, First Louis
lana Regiment, and Lieut.. Ed
Scott, of the same company, who
died last week of typhoid fever con-
tracted at Miami, may have played
an humble part in the great tragedy |
upon which the curtain is about to
fall, but they were Southrons of the
true type. A more unselfish de-
votion to duty has never character
lied the acts of patriots. Captain
Lee left lucrative position to lead
the men of Company E to death or
to glory, and Lieut.. Scott was
student at the State University when
ne answered to the call for volun-
eers by offering his life to his
country. These young patriots s
possessed admirable qualities of
leart and head which had endeared =
hem to large circle of friends :
throughout the State. But it is SUI f
erHuous to sing their praises, for
that higher eulogy can be spoken
t these young men than to saw
hat they loved their country enough Ii
, die for it p? n
