Spanish War.

Professor Heron, who is denver
a series of lectures in Chicago,
states that the Spanish war was
brought on by a conspiracy OF the
who would profit most by such a
national calamity. He says:
1.-THE conspirators met in a OF
the great cities and made plans for
substituting important newspapers, for
corrupting congressman, for furnish
ing munitions to Cuban insurgents
and for other purposes, which would
in all likelihood bring about the re-
suits which they so much desired
The expenses were borne by all. The
profits were to be derived from gov
eminent contracts and by stock job
bling. l think that it would be a safe
and conservative statement to say
that they profited to the extent OF
fully $50, 900, 900. 1 possess a copy
of the contract which was drawn uE
by Them"
Should this contract be given rub
licity, it will verify the opinions OF
great many thinking men.

The Trusts Knockout the DrummerS

Speaking Of the tendency toward
trade combinations, the Avoyelles
Blade solemnly predicts the passing
away of the jolly drummer from the
scene Of his work. It says: "The
days of the commercial traveller are
numbered. Several hundred thou
sand men who now follow that occu-
patton in this country will shortly be
out Of employment. The formation
of trusts does away with travelling So
licitors, and as everything of a sale
able character is going into the trust
line this will wind up commercial
tourists. The drummers struck the
printers a hard blow as their vocation
did away with the necessity OF adver-
Using. And now the ware they have
talked up with such volubility will lift
them up from their feet"

A Great Journal.

Last Sunday the Daily States made
its appearance in a handsome dress,
being the first issue printed on its
magnificent new Goss straight line
~perfecting press, one of the finest
pieces of machinery anywhere IN the
Union. It can print, cut, paste and
fold $4,000 six, eight, ten or twelve
page papers an hour. This evidence
of solid prosperity is not only crafty
ing to the many friends of the gallant
Major Hearsey, who SO ably edits
this great journal, but is also an un-
failing sign of the papers popularity
and worth.

The Next Governor.

Congressman Bob Broussard Tor
governor is the latest. Mr.. Brous-
sard is unquestionably well quallned
for the place-but he is the right
man in the right place where ne is
right now, and should not be dis
turbed. What about John Dymond,
judge Lawrason or w. F. Blackman,
either of whom would make first
gubernatorial timber New Enter
prise, Marksville.
Right you are, Blackman would hill
the bill acceptibly. So would Judge
Lawrason, John Dymond makes a
better sugar planter than he would a
governor. Bob Broussard IS quite
Young and had better not be dis
turbed, as he makes a better congress
man than he did a soldier in the re-
cent war.-Alexandria Democrat.

New Orleans Industrial Exposition.

Now that the festivities incidental
to the carnival have been disposed OF,
attention is being energetically di-
rected to the preparation OF rates for
forthcoming Industrial Exposition, to
be held in New Orleans May 8th to
31st. The passenger representatives
Of the various railroad companies held
a meeting on the subject, and dis
cussed the matter in an informal way.
The rates will be arranged and deci-
ded upon before the Fair, but the
rates themselves have not yet been
positively fixed. All the railroads are
in thorough accord with the move
ment for the industrial Fair, and as
they will be materially benefited by
the bringing to the city OF as large
attendance as possible, they can b'
depended upon to do their utmost tx
establish a low rate such as will at
tract the greatest number OF visitor
from all over the southern country.

George Roddy has in his possession
the remains of a real curiosity, in the
shape of a leather back turtle, of
which only four of these animals have
ever been seen, so says the Savage
World" According to this authori-
ty, one was captured at Cape Ann,
on the coast of Burmah and the other
in Boston Harbor. The one Mr..
Roddy has was seen in the Gulf dur
ing the heavy freeze, but on account
of its immense weight, it was impos-
slble to raise it on the lugger. Moth
ing more was seen of it until last
week, when Mr.. Roddy found the
animal dead far down the coast Of
Mulberry Island. He brought in the
head and shell, which is simply i'm
mense-the shell measuring five feet
in length and four feet acros the
back-the head being ten inches
in diameter and twelve inches in
length. The shell. or rather the hide
is ribbed from head to tail, deeply
conceived between the sharp edges.
Nothing of the kind was eve seen in
these waters before until this one was

S. L. Cary, in talking about deep
wells, says that there is a river of
pure water $50 feet below the surface
and fifty feet deep, $50 miles wide,
running from the Ozark mountains to
the Gulf, through the prairie region.
When tapped the water rises to within
10 feet of the surface. This fact is
of immense value to all of southwest
Louisiana. Texas farmers at Austin

We are not an imperialist. 1t is
our firm conviction that Uncle Sam
and his favored 0 Billy Mckinley
have caught a skunk in making the
deal for the Philippines and the bar
barians who dwell therein. But we are
up against the game and it's no use
to play the baby act. The people Of
the United States know absolutely
nothing about the situation over there,
but they should place a fair amount
of confidence in our soldiers and off,
GERS who are on the spot. We must
credit them with the possession Of the
usual amount of common sense and
ordinary honesty. We for one be-
lieve that Dewey, Otis and Lawton,
know their business and can be trust
ed. It is all cant or hypocrisy-yes
rank balderdash to be wasting any
sympathy or tears on the slaughter
ed savages who are doing battle un-
der Aguinaldo. The people of the
South and West, who have had some
experience with the Negro and Indian,
are in a proper frame of mind to form
an estimate of the virtue and charac-
ter Of the Filipinos. They are not to
be considered as ether than barba-
rians, and civilized customs and
methods do not apply to them.

Mouton to compel the former M to
