Let Them Go Tween Decks
IExo,, tho uartforI

There is some talk Of the cost Of transporting
the ten or twenty thousand Spanish soldiers who
are to be sent home. As understand it this
country has not bound itself TO give the cap
tain's cabin TO each man who has been killing
of our boys Get them over there. but the steer
age is good enough for them and better than they
have been used to. Steerage passage can be had
for not to exceed SIS, and at that rate the
whole caboodle could be sent home for about
$500. 900 to $4,000. That is not a half Of one
days cost Of fighting the fellows. Ship them

There is a large discrepancy between
the official reports Of the medical depart
ment at Washington and the statements
Of officers and correspondents in Cuba as
to the number of cases of yellow fever.
There is no evidence, however, that the
disease is particularly virulent and the
Surgeon Generals announcement that 1t
responds to treatment should be encour-
aging.

From the Chicago Post,

Our distinguished old Confederate friend. Gen.
Wheeler, is doing what he can to atone for the
little mistake he made nearly forty years ago
He has taken his entire family to the front, girls
and boys, and while in his excitement he some
times forgets that he is fighting Spaniards instead
Of Yankees, we have not learned that he is the
less efncient on that account. When they con.
template this fine old rebel leading the bows in

remarks Of the British press, it is time for our

Nothing could be more characteristic
of the Spaniards than the effect on pub
lie sentiment of the disaster to Cerver.;'s 8
fleet and the fall OF Santiago. So far
from strengthening the demand for
peace. it only increases the feeling that
the war must go on until the Americans
have received injuries enough to ob,ige
them to concede what SPAN regards as
an honorable peace.
The evening times., 1898-07-18

An explanation of the inefiiciency shown
by the men of Cervera's fleet and the fall
ure to do any serious fighting after the
ships came out of the harbor. is given by
an officer of the Iowa. He states that
virtually all of the men were conscripts
and that 600 were convicts whose jail
doors were opened that they might enter
Spain's service just before the vessels
left the other side.
The evening times., 1898-07-18

No matter how strongly the commission
may have put the suggestion that the
Mauser rifles of the Spanish soldiers
should be returned to them. the Presi-
dent will not pay the least attention to
it. All Spain will ever get back will be
some of the ammunition after it is ex-
ploded.

The suggestion of the Bureau of Con-

the price of cane was $3.50 per

The downfall of the price was SO
sudden and unexpected that it
somewhat paralized the cane sell

know are holding the price at the
old figures of 80 cts per cent of
the price of sugar.

here too, but were awfully sur

which was $500 instead of $1,000
as they had paid. The town Gu

There was some violations of
the Sunday law by six saloons in
New Iberia, on Sunday the 4th
inst, and it now turns up that
these saloon keepers violated the
law with the consent of Judge
VOORHEES,, District Attorney ST.

Fisher. We cannot believe that
any of these officials would con-
sent to anything of the kind. How
can q Judge encourage the viola
ton of law by the promise that he
will not inAict any punishment
for the offense, or the District At
torney by promising that be will
not prosecute q violation of law

Rheumatism and the Weather.

"The queerest case of rheumatism |
ever encountered" said the big drum
mer as he lighted a fresh cigar, twas
an old fellow who lived in our town
number of years ago. He had it down
to a science and was the best weather
prophet | ever saw. He had studied it
for years and could tell by the pain in
his leg just what kind of weather we
would have for the next "a hours. He
had a hickory cane that he used to car
ry with him, and it was all marked out
like a chart. There were notches on 1t
every inch or SO. Some of them meant
cold, some hot, some snow, some rain
and some frost Whenever he was asked
what kind of weather we were going to
have he would put this stick alongside
his leg, and according to the point on
the cane to which the pain in his leg
was nearest that would represent the
weather for the next "a hours. | never
saw him fail but once, and that was
when he was loating around the corner
drug store on July afternoon and set
his cane down by his chair for few
minutes. One Of the small boys around
there stole the cane and drove needle
through it and then asked the cold fell
low about the weather. He picked up
the cane, Strengthened out his leg, and
of course when he put it alongside the
needle went into him, and he felt the
pain there most. He looked puzzled for
a moment and then tried it again. Then
he looked up and said, It's consumed
funny, boys, but we're going ter have
snow inside "a hours. The next day the
snow didn't come, and he never got
over it. -

Statue That Has a Valet.

One of the most curious things in
Brussels, thing that must be charac-
teristic to some extent of the temper of
the people, is the little manikin statue
and fountain. 1t is statue of a naked
boy, said TO have been erected by a no.
bleman whose lost son was found ON
this spot. But there is not the least ex-
cuse for the boys nakedness, for he is
well supplied with clothing of many
sorts and is rich enough to buy more
suits occasionally, and is the owner of
nine handsome costumes belonging to
different periods. On fete days the boy
is gorgeously clad, sometimes in old
French costumes, sometimes in the uni
form of the guard civique. All this is
funny enough, but not as curious as the
rest 1t is the fashion for wealthy maid
en- ladies of Brussels to fall in love with
the statue and remember it handsomely
in their wills. Through one such be-
quest this petted boy is provided with a
valet at a salary of $40, and a short
time ago another unwedded admirer
left 5000 for the completion and main
tenance of his wardrobe. kansas City
