INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

We remind our people of fac,
that seems to have escaped their
memory, namely the establish
ment of an Industrial School to be
located in this district.
Since the legislature passed the
Act creating such an institution
we have, at various times, urged
our people to take some steps to
secure this school to Lafayette.
Has anything been done by our
people in that direction? We
don't think so, and while we have
been apathetic on the subject,
other towns in the district have
been wide awake to their interest
and have done the preliminary
work towards ascertaining if the
conditions required to secure the
institution in their midst could be
met.
And yet our people are as much
public spirited and liberal as in
other towns.
In fact we can report that at
several times some of our public
spirited citizens have stepped in
our Office expressing the desire to
subscribe hundreds of dollars
towards securing the Industrial
School.
Judging from appearances all
that is needed now is an awaken
ing from the seeming stupor in
which we have fallen and 60 to
work in earnest, starting the pre-
liminary work that will bring the
Industrial School to Lafayette.
In some towns the work is done.
In New Iberia, the ENTERPRISE
informs us, that the committee on
subscriptions of the Industrial
School having about completed
their labors, the board Of directors
has decided to have subscribers
give notes for the amounts subs
cribed payable in four equal ms.
tallments.
In Jeanerette the people are
wide-awake, and we are informed
they are sanguine to succeed.
What will Lafayette do about it!
The inestimable value Of the
prize is within our grasp, all we
have to do is to secure it.

The U. S. gunboat Nashville
which won the distinction OF
firing the first shot in the Hispano-
American war is in New Orleans.
The gunboat comes from Cuban
waters and it is the purpose OF the
government to make it travel as
far up the river as possible, and
she will stop at many OF the lar
gcst cities along the route. lfpos-
sible she will visit the city after
which she was named. The Nash
vile carries eight 4-inch rapid fire

Mr.. James Hannen returned
from New Orleans this week. Mr..
Hannen spoke of the death of his
wife as follows: "Both of us were
staying with friends in New Or
leans. Mrs. Hannen while attend
ing the burial Of one of her ac-
4uaintances felt indisposed during
the ceremony and help was re-
quired to bring lei in neigh
boring house. Called very soon
after | went to the bedside of my
wife who though yet breathing
did not recognize me: She died
a few minutes after my coming. >
Mr.. and Mrs. Hannen were or
their way to Gulfport where they
intended to build Summer res
idence, and where plans were te
be submitted to them for the erec'
ton of it.

BE PATIENT.

We are glad to know that the
musicians who belong 10 the brass
band are meeting every Sunday
morning to blow their horns and
other instruments in practice.
A leading member of the band
assured the local reporter of THF
ADVERTISER, a few days ago, that
ere long we will have the pleasure
to listen to an evening concert.
There is nothing like martha
music in the Summer moonlight
nights to afford good rest and peace
to the soul.
From the beginning of the hui
man family until now, music has
taken a large share in the affections
of mankind.
1t is related that King David
played on his harp to appease the
anger of King Saul.
Anger is still rampant in the
land specially during the Summer
months when the heat is unDear-
able; and what King David did for
King Saul, the brass band Of La
fayette can do to the inhabitants
their heated anger!!
1t is a fact that blowing in a
cornet, sliding Trombone, tenor or
bass during the heated term is
more than enough to create mu-
sical anger, but there is no. pleas
ure without effort. and therefore
it is to be hoped that. our musi-
clans will not for a moment con-
slider their own welfare but will re-
lieve the monotonous season in
Lafayette in giving to their fellow
citizens chance Of caring good
music.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

IA mldnlgnt conference was nelo
to consider the spectre of Sam
Jonesism, which is badly frighten-
ing Ohio republicans. The con-
ference was participated in by
Boss Hanna, Mr.. Mckinley, and
several other republicans of prom
inence who came from Ohio to
Washington for the purpose. They
believe that Sam Jones intends to
run as an independent candidate
for Governor of Ohio, and that he
stands good chance of getting
enough votes to throw the state to
the democrats, if he doesn't get
elected himself. They realize that
the loss Of Mr. McKinley's own
state this year, would start boom
for Teddy" Roosevelt that might
knock Mr.. Mckinley out of a re-
nomination next year. They don't t
know just what to do about it. A
proposition was made that Sam
Jones be given the regular repub-
lican nomination for governor, but
it did not find much favor, because
it was stated that he could not be
controlled by the machine. Itwas
also proposed that an attempt be
made to ascertain whether Sam
Jones could be bought off with a
big appointment in the diplomatic
service. All agreed that some-
thing had to be done to head off
Sam Jonesism in Ohio, and all
promised to put their wits to work.
the fighting still goes on in
the Philippines. Our troops whip
the Filipinos and take town
every day or two, but as soon as
they leave the town-it would re-
quire 100, 900 men on the island
of Luzon alone, to permanently
garrison all the owns,-the Fill
pinos occupy it again And this
sort of thing is likely to go on in
definitely. 1t is not surprising
that men are beginning to ask each
other how long the people OF this
country will be willing to put up
with this sort of thing. The ques-
ton is pertinent.
Mot satisfied with trying to de-
prive him, of honors right-fully be-.
longing to him, the Navy Depart
ment has ignored the request Of
Rear Admiral Schley-he has at
least got his commission as Rear
Admiral, ,cfor sea duty, and prac-
tically placed him on the shelf for
the time being, by making him a
member of the Naval Examining
Board in Washington, while Samp-
son, the man he ranks, is in COM
mand If a fine squadron.
Secretary Alger had hardly got
settled again in his chair at the
War Department, before he made
public new defiance of those re-
publicans who have been trying to
persuade Mr.. Mckinley of the
wisdom Of throwing Alger over
board, regardless ofwhat he might
! tell of the campaign OF 90. This
challenge of Alger indicates his
belief that his hold on Mr.. McKin-
ley is strong enough to keep him
in the Cabinet, no matter what
happens. He said: "Since ! en-
tered the Cabinet, / have not con-
sidered resigning; the matter has
never been mentioned to me by
the President, and / have no inten-
ton Of resigning. If the purpose
of the constant reports that | will
leave the Cabinet is to tire out the
President and myself, tbose res
ponsible for them ace very much
mistaken. -tl.y don't know their
mer. !" 1t is an open secret that
many prominent republicans are
working to force Alger out OF the
Cabinet.

While they are trying to mitigate
the tipping" annoyance abroad, the
custom is constantly growing on this
side the ocean. The Denver Repub-
lican has discovered that the govern
ment has to certain extent endorsed
the practice. 1t seems that the first
auditor of the treasury in passing on
the accounts of men who travel in
government service holds that tip
OF a quarter dollar to the porter of a
sleeping car is necessary and proper.
Many persons consider the acceptance
of tip as destructive of the notion
OF personal equality essential to the
