Roberts, the much married man
from Utah, is having a time of it
with the anti polygamists of the
country. All right-minded people
are opposed to Mormonism, but the
pretended virtuous indignation Of a
lot of hypocrites who are falling
into duck fits because Roberts has
been sent to Congress Is sickening
in the extreme. 1t is strange that
the good people who are raising
such a howl lest Roberts should cor
rupt so moral body as Congress,
have not carried their persecution
to the Philippines where the grand
son of Brighman Young is fighting
why such a wave of virtuous oppo-
sition to Roberts, the Mormon, and
not word said against Clark the
briber, QUAY the embezzler and
Hanna the corruptionist?. The
danger to our institutions does not
lie in the election to Congress of
one harmless Mormon from Utah,
but rather in the election to both
houses of the National Legislature
of avowed representatives of trusts
and corporations who not only go
there for the sale pupose of serving
their masters, but whose election is
the result of wholesale bribery COM
mitted with the same shameful dis
regarded for the laws Of the coun-
try that characterized the robberies
of Jesse lanes and Rube Burrows.

While President Mckinley and
party were marching through the
streets of Boston day or two since
amid the welcome plaudits and
cheers of the populace, Secretary
Atger, WHO was of the party, was
greeted at every turn by the discord
ant cry of ssbeef! beef! beef" And
report says that he retired from the
procession at the earliest opportu-
nifty. This instance reminds US of
a trial before a justice of the peace
in Virginia after the close of the
revolutionary war in which Patrick
Henry appeared as counsel for de
PENDANTS, certain officers of the
patriot army, who were sued for beef
furnished the troops during the war
The beef was furnished upon the
personal contract of the officers, the
government being without money or
| Justice of the Peace could not es-
cape holding the defendants person
ally liable, at least SO it appeared
before Mr.. Henry's appeal. The
great orator did not touch the facts
| of the case, but made one of his
most eloquent efforts, picturlng the
misery and sacrifices Of the patriots
and the happy termination of the
long struggle. When, after describ-
ing in glowing terms the reJolcIngs
and shouts of 5ictory that were
then being heard throughout the
Old Dominion, he suddenly paused
in his flight Of oratory and changing
his tone and scanning the beef con
tractor, he said: stBut, bark, what
discordant sounds are these that
break in upon this scene OF rejoicing
at out emancipation from British
ruler 1t is the voice of this rich,
now in the presence of the court,
shouting, ..beefl beef! beef!'
Well, the effect was magical The
beef contractor fed from the pre-
cincts of the court, glad to escape
with his life, and we think our wal
! secretary should take the hootings OF
the Boston populace to heart anc
quit the great department. of oul
national government for which he is
as untitled as was the Vlrglnls
butcher to appreciate the struggles
of our patriot sires and the gloriou:
boon which they conferred upor
their country.

NEW BO4RD OF EXPER rs

Times Democrat, Feb. II. 1899.
The State Board of Health At It's
meeting Wednesday elected a Board
of Experts, the personnel of which
cannot fail to command the full re-
spect and confidence of the commu-
nifty, being composed of DIR. Joseph
Holt, president of the State
Board of Health; DIR. T. S. Kennedy,
ex-president Of the Board of State
Medical Examiners; DR.. Ernest S.
Lewis, professor of general and
clinical obstetrics and diseases of
women and children in the Tulane
Medical College; DR.. F. Loeber,
house surgeon of the Turo 1nfirmary;
Dr. Rudolph Matas, professor of
general and clinical surgery in the
Tulane Medical College, head of the
surgical department and man of
international reputation; DR.. F. w.
Parham, ex-house surgeon of the
Charity Hospital, and DR.. l.. F.
Solomon.
These gentlemen, who were
elected to serve in the extremely
responsible and onerous positions
of experts, are gentlemen whose
eminence in their profession, and
whose special knowledge of yellow
fever, gained by long years of ex-
perience, will be an absolute guar
antee to the people of New Orleans,
to the State of Louisiana and to all
the adjacent States, that every case
of fever, whether suspicious or gen
uine yellow fever, will be imme-
diately reported to the Board of
Health.
1t will be observed that the gen
tlemen elected are, almost without
exception, physicians who made re-
ports of fever cases that came I'M
der their observation during last
summer and fall, and who were adj
versely, and in some cases severely,
criticised for such action by those
who were either convinced that the
physicians were wrong in their dl-
agnoses or who questioned the adj
visibility of reporting what they
believed to be mild from of yell
low fever.
The election, therefore, of those
physicians who, even under the
stress of great public excitement.
and even of severe and unmerited
denunciation, dared to perform
their whole duty under the law, is at
once the greatest compliment that
could be paid them and the best
guar antee that could possibly be
offered TO the people of all the
Southern States, that the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth will be told in regard to cases
of yellow fever in New Orleans.

1HE PUBLIC Rods AGAIW.


The Gazette is informed that |
there is disposition on the part of
our police jurors TO use the money
derived from the special tax in the
different wards independently of one
another We regret to note this
inclination of our parish legislators.
Heretofore every police juror has
acted as sort of superintendent of
road work in his ward He has
had the selection of the road over
seer of his ward, and through him
vas expended the money appropri
&ted for bridges and drainage. 1t
is. needless to speak of the utter fail
ure Of that system. The condition
OF the roads not only this year, but
all proceeding years, is the most
eloquent of the meth
DDS employed by the Police Jury.
Even though the member of the
Police Jury are both competent and
willing to attend to the work of re-
pairing aid building roads, to ex-
pect them to do so would be asking
too much They have their own
affairs to look after and they can
i'll afford to neglect their personal
interest to attend to the public
business. AS members of the Police
Jury they have certain duties to per
form. IF they undertake more,
they will be simply biting off more
than they can chew and the public
business will suffer just as sure as
fate.
If we are going to have good
roads we have got to pay for them.
Somebody, WHO knows his business,
must be paid to do the work.
Otherwise nothing will be done and
the money will be spent just the
same. The parish must administer
this department of the government
the road department - just as it
does with other departments. 1t
must do in this matter just as il
does in other matters. We had
hopes that the jurors had taken this
view of it when they made up their
minds to collect a special road tax.
In every well-regul ated government
there are several departments. In
each department there is head
who is placed there because he is
believed to be fitted for the duties
which he will have to fulfill. In
order to keep the machinery of our
parish government in operation the
man, qualified by experience and
education, is selected. He does his
work and he is paid for il. dis
trict attorney, a clerk, and a sheriff
are required. IF the machinery is

people know where to kick and
who to kick against In this way il
the people are not themselves deril-
let in the discharge OF their duties
of citizenship the evil is rectified
and. the man who has failed to do
his duty loses his job. In the past
our public road system could have
been likened to an animal with
neither head nor tail, but with a
splendid capacity for swallowing
down everything in the way of pub
lie money appropriated for drain
age, bridges and all the concomi-
tant etceteras. A system with an

The election of w. A. Clark, the
scroundrel, to the United States
Senate, should convince every
honest man In this country
that it is high time to change
Senator Whitesides of the
Montana Legislature surprised his
colleagues the other day by produ-
cling thirty $1,000 bills which he had
received as a bride to vote for Clark
for United States senator. A man
guilty of such an act should never
be permitted to enter the Senate.
That august body is already con-
taminated by the presence of Quay
and it ought to be spared the addi
tional disgrace of having upon its
rolls the name of the Montana cor
ruptionist. How can the people
expect any benefcient laws from
the National Congress when men
who ought to be in the penitentiary
are occupying seats. in the upper
house. 1t would seem that there Is
en- ough decency left in the American
people to drive such unconsciona-
Bile scamps as Clark and Quay out
of public life. The Senate, whlc h
was once the pride of the republic,
is fast degenerating into body of
bribers, embezzlers and corruption
| lists. In some of the States Of the
| union when man has robbed
enough money without getting into
| the penitentiary he buys a seat in
the United State Senate. GU" y
and Clark are certainly fine birds to
be in the Senate and the States of
Montana and Pennsylvania ought
he ashamed of themselves tor hav-
ing perpetrated so disgraceful an
outrage upon the nation.
If President Mckinley decides
later on to appoint a commission to
go to the Philippines to give the
Filipinos a few lessons in our sys-
tenn Of free government, The Ca
zette would respectfully suggest the
propriety of appointing Senators
Quay, Clark and Hanna. These
worthless might give our new fellow

on the manner of manipulating leg
