Doubtless the Ohio democratic
convention will roundly condemn
President Mckinley for his on
slaught on the civil service system.
Privately, however, their Chief
source of aslonishment will be his
moderation in welding the ak. AS
a matter of fact, the politicians OF
neither party love the civil service.
One of them took it up to satisfy a
mugwump element and both en-
dorse it because both are afraid
to drop it. The spectacle of any
political paper shedding tears over
the merit system is an amusing
American.

parish against the town Of
Lafayette, claiming that they will
be made to bear most Of the bur
den while they will derive the least
benefit. This is as ridiculous as it
false. As the figures show the
white citizens Of the parish will
pay only little more than a third
of the tax. while they will be in a
position to receive their full share
of the becefits-both moral and
material. Nearly two thirds Of the
tax will be borne by the corpora
tons, non-residents, the coiored
people of the town and parish and
the white people of the town.
These are assessed $1,000. 900,
leaving the parish white residents
an assessment. of 81, 100000.
Let those who are trying to in
fluence the ill-informed voters of
this parish by glaring misrepresen-
tations and despicable appeals to
their passions and prejudices look
over these figures.

iition of the destitute farmers and

THE /BER/4N'S DEDUC-
TONS.

Editor Weeks, of the Iberian,
uses three columns of his valuable
space in an effort to prove that New
Iberia ought to get the Industrial
School regardless of any pecuniary
consideration.
BY most wonderful feat Of
mathematical legerdemain the Ibe-
rian arrives at the remarkable con-
clusion that in the year 1900 New
Iberia will! have population of
5000 while Lafayette will have only
1000 souls within its municipal
lines. We have neither the time
nor the desire to go over the Ibe-
rian's figures, but will simply call
the attention Of intelligent people
to the aosurdity of such a state
.ment. The delightful nerve of the
Iberian in claiming population of
5000 for New Iberia is equaled only
by its characteristic magnanimity in
giving Lafayette 5000 and St.
MartinvilIe 1870 people. We are
tempted to thank Editor Weeks for
conceding at least one thing and
at is that Lafayette and ST. Mar
tinville are on the map. In the
present state of his mind tina:
is evidently quite concession
and we are sincerely thankful for
that much.
Counting only the white people
it is not SO sure that New Iberia
has a larger population than La
fayette, but we will concede to it a
few hundreds more. anyhow.
But after all what has that to do
with selecting a site for the Indus
State wa, ted to establish the school
in large city it certainly would
not have left the choice to town
in one of the parishes in the 18th
senatorial district. 1t would have
gone to New Orleans, Shreveport
or Monroe, but the tendency is to
remove public institutions from
large centers, and in attempting
to give New iberia an inflated
census the Iberian is u.wittingIy
working against its own interests.
Take Louisiana for an example.
The State University. the institutes
for the deaf and dumb and blind
are situated at Baton Rouge, only
a short distance. from New Orleans,
which city, we hope, Editor Weeks
will admit, is much larger
than either Baton Rouge or New
Iberia. The Insane Asylum is To-
Gated at Jackson, town OF about
1900 people. The Normal Shoot is
at Natchitohces, whose population
will not exceed 1000 persons. The
Industrial Institute was put at
Ruston when that thriving town

WHO Pr VS. TIE TAX?

The transparent demagogism of
the assertion that the proposition
to levy a two mill tax to get the In
dustr,al School is movement in
favor of the rich and against the
poo1 should deceive no one. How
can free school, supported by the
tax-paying citizens Of the country,
might as we'll say that the public
school system is an engine of op
preston, means of the money
power to hold the masses in sub
lection. The free and unlimited
dissemination of learning among
the people is the greatest barrier
in the way of the wealthy oPp-es-
sor. Without free education there
is no free government possible, and
those who are going about telling
the people that the industrial
School proposition is a scheme OF
the rich man to make the poor man
pay for the education of his CHE
rich man's) children, is either fool
or a demagogue. How many poor
but deserving youths, whose parents
did not own cents worth Of prop
erty, were educated in the public
schools, which are supported, in
great measure, by the money Col
lected from the wealthy? How
many among the poor children OF
Lafayette parish would be able to
read and write if it were not for the
the public schools? Public edu
cation is the only enemy which
aggregated wealth fears. 1t is the
one thing which the poor man
ought to cling to, because when
that is gone, free government will
perish from the earth and he will
be no more than miserable sert.
The proposed Industrial Insti
tute will be an absolutely free
school-open to rich and poor alike.
1t will be a public school, where
the child will acquire not only an
academic education. but he will be
taught trade. He will be equip.
10 successfully compete with any
one from any section of the coun-
try.
But we are told that the poor
man will pay the tax. Let's see.
The whole assessment OF this parish
will amount to about $4,000, 900.
OF this amount the corporations,
which, we are told, have no souls
to be damned, no bodies to be
kickt d and no children to educate,
are assessed $056 ,oo7. Although
under the law they can not vote
they will have to pay nearly one
third of the tax. Does this show
that the poor man will pay this tax
to educate tie rich child7 Not

A Story Of the Kind That Would
Have Made
DECAMERON'S HEART GLAD
Of a SWede Who Was Young and Gay
and a Wife Who Was Old
and Giddy.

A tale Of the kind that would nave
made Decameron's heart glad was re-
lated by a husband who was in the city
Jail this morning. The man had been
arrested for creating a disturbance in
his home, a disturbance, which, if his
story is true, resolves itself into a virtue
rather than an offense, and strengthens
the position of the poet who wrote of
some women as uncertain, coy and
hard to please" The husband in the
case is a miner, and his wife has borne
him five or six children and is supposed
to have reached hat stage of life when
the hot blood of youth is somewhat
chilled. The family kept several board-
ers, and among others a Swede, who by
reason of his good ooks and youth was
soon promoted from the social position
of ordinary boarder to that of star"
much to the discontinue of the husband,
who bided his time and awaited develop
ments. This boarder could call for two
pieces of pie with impunity, n demand
and receive other favors not to the liking
of the husband. Monday evening the
woman had made arrangements to at
tend a lecture at the Auditorium. Dur
ing the afternoon the Swede complained
that in his shoulder would
prevent him from working that night,
and the husbands suspicious, made keen
by the actions of the two before, We're
further aroused When his wife concluded
that she did not feel we'll enough to at
tend the lecture. He went up town and
remained away until about 9 o'clock,
when he returned to his home. He
stealthily entered a shed adjoining his
house and through a window witnessed
sights that narrowed his soul. The
Swede was ensconsed on the sofa in
luxury, and on his feet We're the hus
bands slippers. The woman was near
him and the two were indulging in those
antics peculiar to mating doves in the
springtime. The husband watched the
proceedings with bated breath and jeal-
Gus eyes but he permitted matters to
proceed. The Swede put his arms around
| the woman's neck, and she reciprocated
the token of affection with an embrace
such as the husband had not received il
years. Then followed a scene on a pa
with the tub episode of the "Boccaccio'
and the husband could stand it nc
longer. He rushed in and made a rough
house of the place. The Swede was
thrown out on the sidewalk and the wife
received a portion Of the punishment
The husband was arrested for disturb
ance and spent the night in the city Jail
and the story will probably to told over
again in police court in a few days.

SYMONS' OPENING.
A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY IN THE
SHOW WINDOWS OF THE FIRM.

The show windows of the Butte stores
are beautifully decorated with pretty
things for Easter, but the most beautiful
of all is the window of the Symons Dry
Goods company.
The east window of this popular es-
tablishment is devoted to a most ex-
quisite display of millinery, the occasion
being their regular spring millinery
opening. The design of the window is
unique and represents, in the back
ground, a scene of the Coates Affair.""
guarded by cherubs and cherubim. With
in the gates there stands a harp, beauti-
fully modelled in white flowers and hav-
ing golden strings. The production is
completed by a representation of the
Rock of Ages, a beautiful white cross,
to which there clingS a female figure
draped in the purest of white. The scene
is supported in the back and on the sides
with a network of colored ribbons,
through the meshes Of which intertwine
sprays of flowers. Surmounting the
whole is an immense arch or Vlolets ana
roses.
Distributed through it, and apparently
only incidental to the scene, are a num-
Der of Easter hats, every n a dream
and vision of the milliners' art.
The millinery display in the window
consists of pattern hats from New York
and Paris, imported directly by the
Svmons Dry Goods company. That
they are perfect in design and finish is
the verdict of the thousands who have
nightly viewed this truly lovely window,
The entire design is lighted by a myriad
of incandescent lights. enhancing its
beauty beyond description.
The millinery department is under
the management of Madam Ch!lds, for
merly connected with one of the great
est importing millinery establishments
of New York city.
