FRANCES REVENGE.

Because Gen. Joubert's ancestors
were F~renchmen some of the French
newspapers see cause for rejoicing over
his defeat of the British at Ladysmith
last Monday. These papers say that
Fashoda is avenged at last. The French
nation must be of even poorer and more
cowardly stuff than the world had inn
agined if it can so easily slake it's much
Wanted thirst for vengeance. It looks
very much as though France, having
lost all hope of ever beating Great Bril-
tain in a fair and square fight, was now
trying to find a way to avoid carry
ing out the dire threats she has been
making. The caitiff spirit that prompt
ed Frenchmen to rejoice in England's
defeat is another jot of evidence to
show that France and her people are
following in the footsteps of the other
Latin nations in decadence of national
character and manly spirit. No leu
tonic nation could bring itself to open
ly rejoice in the misfortunes of a wor-
thy rival, or to claim that her defeat
by another power gave it its revenge
for some former reverse. 1t is certain,
at any rate, that the sturdy Gen. Jou-
pert, Whlie uiTec2lnB the nar0 HSnI QUIZ
on the hills above Ladysmith had little
notion that the rough Beers under it's
command were engaged in the heroic
duty of wiping out the disgrace of a
French defeat at Fashoda. We venture
to think that the idea uppermost in
Gen. Joubert's mind that day was that
he and his men were fighting a battle
for their own dearlyIbeloved little
country down in the corner of big At
RIGA.

"A few figures on wool show the diff
ference between republican and demo-
cratic industrial policies. Under the
Mckinley tariff the American wool clip
increased from 307, 00O, 900 pounds in
1891 to 34s,000,0O0 in 1898. Then the
Wilson law came in and by 1897 there
was a decline OF 259, 200, 900. The Ding
ley law turned the tide again. The
wool clip last year increased 2.6 per
cent, and the number of sheep by e.
s121,ooo. In addition to this the de-
hiand for goods is so great that most
of the wooden mills have consumed
their accommodations.

Gently raised will be in the Philippines
by the end of the year. Otis, 1t Is esti-

and with this force it is believed he
will stamp out the rebellion by the

May. One of the drawbacks hereto
fore has been the lack Of men to gar
rison the points captured, but that will
cease as soon as the reinforcements
now on the way and those soon to

months hence, floats over all the archi-

Marshalltown Times-Republican: The
British nation was stirred TO the
depths by the news OF a defeat at
Ladysmith, though the disaster was
not Sc great as first limitations indi-
Gated. Only a small force was cap
tured. Still, the moral effect of de-
feat is always an immense factor 10 In
fuencing people in paths OF peace, as
it is certainly in the ranks OF armies.
To add to the dismay, Gen. White, the
British commander, fastened to con-
fess that it was all his own fault; that
in the light Of developments the posi-
ton assigned the troops was untenable.
This is to some extent a new feature
In military experience, and the British
public, knowing Gen. Whites admir-
able record as a fighter in the Indian
campaign, are more willing to condonc
his ~offense, while lamenting the mis-
fortune which overlook their troops.
Generally the leader of armies Is un-
willing to admit errors; it would be
fatal in most cases to his future use-
fulness.

A Treaty VIII, Spain.

Sioux City journal: The coming
winter will probably witness the com
plete restoration of the friendly rela-
tions existing between the United
States and Spain previous to the recent
war. The two nations are now upon a
footing of the utmost friendliness Dip
lomatically, but as yet no treaty has
been negotiated covering their CONNER
cial relations. The late war terminal
ed the existence OF a treaty that had
been in force since 1875, and which
had long been considered out Of date.
The peace treaty contained provisions
only interference to the termination OF
the war, and left all matters Of future
commerce and amity for further nego-
tiations. These negotiations are now
to be undertaken at Madrid by Bellamy
Storer, the American minister there,
and will doubtless result In q mutually
satisfactory agreement. A treaty is 81
necessity in. the settlement Of any
commercial disputes that may arise
between citizens Of two nations and it
is also a matter OF Importance that ex-
tradition arrangements should be pro-
vided. In the absence of such q treaty
Spain would furnish a place OF safe
refuge for criminals from the United
States, and vice versa. There is every
reason to anticipate that the represen-
tatiyes Of the two countries will be able
to contriye. q treaty that will make the
future business and social relations Of
Americans and Spaniards more satis-
factory than they have been for many
years.

OUR READERS.

Mr.. f. A. Gauthier is a weekly
visitor to Lafayette, but consider
ing the day he chooses for these
visits, we affirm that he is on plea
sure bent, for Sundays always find
him in your town. Watch out;
Lafayette has pretty and captivat-
ing maids, and we may, at some
future time, have to announce his
capture.
Mr.. George Mason, the local
agent for Mr.. Selsbache, drove in
to town from ST. Martinville last
Saturday, He deals in first class
horses and mules, and if you need
any thing in his line, he is the man
for you. His prices are in accord
with the value of his stock.
Last Saturday, one of our young
men took advantage of the Sunday
law to attend the Rip Van Wrinkle
representation in your town, and of
course he took his best girl along.
Just as the ladies were stepping into
the MS nat llS" oii III S'iiSS
quence of a gust OF wind, and as
his horse was so good that he'd
have to let the ladies drive away
alone or leave his hat, he pursued
the latter course, which was the
right thing to do. But twas fun
ny sight to see the fellow drive into
town in d ha tleSS state.
Thursday was Il great day for our
French and Italian citizens as that
day saw the uniting in the holy
bonds of matrimony of Miss
Adrienne Chopin and Mr.. Louis
Pay, which took place IN the St.
Anne church, in Royville. After
the ceremony the happy bride and
groom went to their parents
houses and enjoyed a sumptuous
feast.
That show of world renown,
.The Shield Show" exhibited in
Broussard last Wednesday and
Thursday, and truly, that is the
show to enjoy. Among the cast
of actors, we are happy to be able
to praise little Jane James, who is
scarcely four years old and who is
an excellent actor and singer.

Her children, named above,
Lillian and Tom, are, on account of
proximity, pupils of the Pontchar-
train Public School, and their
teacher, Mrs. M. Riley, is extremely
proud of them, and they are con-
sidered by her to be representative

conduct bespeaks their percentage
to the grand intellect of Louisiana's
distinguished son, the father of the
public school system, for which he
labored, now profted by thousands
of children.
1t is but due to Alexander Dimi-

memory, and that some mention,
even passing, be made of the fact
that although the noble, command

years, and although the grand intel

now living, the sacred fire of intelli-
gence and the splendid jewels of
