SAYS CUPID TO MAMMON.
pv FILA wurrJEp wTrrny

Yours is magic key. 1t opens wide
The door whereon is writ Society"
And "No admittance save to the elect"
Slowly, and with reluctance often times,
The heavy hinges turn yet turn alway
When You persist, so potent is your power.
Through halls kept sacred to the name of Cast,
You walk undaunted by the silent stare
OF proud ancestral faces on the walls
Your coat-of arms the mighty 8 sign.
You influence nations, rule affairs of state
And purchase leaders. Politics to-day
Is but another synonym for that
Ignoble, base word-money.
With your key
YO1 enter churches and pervert the creed,
And substitute the word Of man for Chrst's
Large loving utterances. You buy and sell
And water and manipulate religion
Like stock upon the street: your satellites
Kneel in their cushioned pews and humble
prayers
With hatred in their hearts, and pride and
greed
Where brotherhood should dwell.
All this you do
o monarch, but behold your Wellington!
In Loves fair court there is no lock which
turns
For Mammon's key. When Hymen gives you
heed,
He stands without my gates, no ken of mine.
Love has the only kingdom in the world
Where money cannot purchase place or power;
And in the rapture of one mutual kiss.
When soul meets soul as lip clings close to lip,
Lies more delight than all earths other realms
Combined can offer to the human heart.
In this brief life the memory of one hour
OF perfect love is worth all other joys,
And he who hath it not, though he be king,
Goes beggared through the world.

"BefoOled, Humiliated, Disgraced.'

The above words are quoted from
an administration organ on the
conduct of military rule in Cuba.
How different to what the people
expected from our promises made
when we went to war with Spain.
1t was war for humality only as far
as the people were concerned. Now
it is turned into a war for criminal
aggression in the Philippines, for a
colOnialism in Porto Rico, that
would disgrace Turkey, and for
military tyranny and extravaganza
in Cuba. We were familiar with
the suppression of Cuban newspa-
pers; but recently the causes for
which they were suppressed have
leaked out. The military officers
in command, it seems, have been
living in Oriental magnificence and
bespOrting themselves in the trap
pings of royalty. To do this they
have been drawing salaries from
Cuba, besides their regular pay as
United States officers.
The crimes in India for which
Warren Hastings was brought to
the bar of the British house of COM
mons were little greater than those
consummated upon the administra-
ton. That splendid statesman and
patriot, Senator Bacon of Georgia,
has had passed a resolution of in
quiry in the senate relative of our
betrayal of the sacred trust we pub
licly assumed over the Cuban peo-
pie. Mckinley sought to cover his
tracks by paying large salaries to
corrupt and worthless Cubans in
sinecure places. But the Argus eye
of the press is upon him, and we
here bear testimony to the splendid
work of the Washington Post in the
cause of liberty in Cuba, Porto Rico
and South Africa. We hope it will
soon see "'face to face" the gallant
battles the betrayed Filipinos are
making in the same holy cause

Opelousas, May 13.-When Jailer

Duval Marcantel dead in his cell.
Marcantel few days ago attempted
suicide by cutting his throat and

in his throat, and he was recover

TWO FRIENDS.

"When Professor David Swing
was in charge of the preparatory
class at Miami University two
young men under his care were
Carter B. Harrison, brother to
Benjamin Harrison, now ex-Presi-
dent, and Joel Allen Battle, son of
Colonel Battle, of La Vergne, Tenn.
These young men were active, studi-
Gus, exceptionally bright, and were
fast friends. They continued their
fraternal intimacy as they advanced
to their classes in college, and
wher the war broke out they were
sophomores together.
With the beginning of hostilities
their spirits were aroused with
martial zeal, and each resolved to
60 to his home and enlist for the
war, though the sympathies of the
one were with the North, and those
Of the other with the South. They
talked the matter over together,
each justifying his course of action,
and then embraced as friends and
parted. Young Harrison returned
to his home in Indiana and enlisted
in an Indiana regiment, Battle going
to his home in La Vergne and thence
to the front with the Twentieth
Tennessee. Both were of valiant
stuff, of ardent temper, and made
excellent soldiers, fighting bravely
whenever the opportunity came to
fight, but each following his flag,
in ignorance of the fortunes Of the
other.
Without knowing it they were on
opposite sides in the deadly battle
of Chickamsuga, one of the fercest
and most destructive Of the entire
war. It was on the evening Of
September 3, 1868, after the battle,
that Harrison again looked upon
the face of his loved young class
mate, face that no longer gave
answering smile TO his own, but
cold and still and changeless, the
life blood gone from 1.-THE friend
of his youth lying dead on the bat
tlefsld. With passionate emotion
young Harrison lifted the dead body
Of his friend he had chanced upon,
and bore it from the field; and then
obtaining leave of absence he took
it to La Vergne to the bereaved
family, saw it committed to the
embrace of loving earth, and rode
back to the war" ."-Chicago Inter.

EDUCATIONAL.
SNAP SHOTS OF SCHOOL MEN AND
WOMEN.

Prof. Evergreen is principal at
Smallville. He is thirty-two years
old, married, and the father of four
lawless children whose presence in
school is a source of worry and anx-
iety to their teachers. His face wears
a care-worn look for he is trying to
solve the problem of supporting his
family in suitable style, paying
house rent, fuel bills, church dues,
doctor bills, and all other expenses,
including the wages Of the hired
girl, on salary of seven hundred
a year!
1t is not surprising that when q
vacancy occurs at Rapid City, Prof.
Evergreen eagerly applies for the
twelve-hundred-dollar position.
He presents himself before the
directors, wearing Prince Albert
coat, spotted, and frayed at the
edges; soiled shirt, adorned with
a huge cameo stud; asmall, yellow
cotton bow, held on with a rubber;
no cuffs, and three-days' growth of
beard.
He holds in one hand a green
black hat, while with the other he
strives to extract from the breast
pocket Of his coat, q large bundle
Of recommendations. One is from
the president of the school he at
tended. It is full of pleasant,
meaningless phrases, such as: "Mr.
Evergreen has taken the full one
year course in our school. He pos
sesses q good moral character, and
is very active in promoting the
general good. / know of no student
(last year we had an enrolment Of
2,167, and a graduating class Of
213) whom one can trust at Q greater
distance. Any board seeking q good
principal should consider him care
fully. He will not apply for any
position that he thinks he cannot
fill; he has q future before him."
{ How embarrassing it would be if
that future should get behind him,
thinks the director as he folds the
testimonial and says: Eyes, that's
very good, Mr.. Evergreen, gerry
good" This is the customary COM
ment which this man makes on
whatever strikes him - amusing. I
Another is from his pastor, who
says kind things in . christian way. |
The leading citizens Of Smallville
recommend him with suspicious
fervor. The last Is from his con-
gresham, who has never seen him. |
No, there is one more; which, since |
this is . true picture We must not |
omit; it is from one Of his assistant |
teachers!

and readily conclude that man

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1900 AND
THE DEMOCRACY.

To-day, the Louisiana State Leg
islature will assemble at Baton
Rouge in regular session.
Many Of the members from the
country districts, as we'll as from
the city, are new men. The city
delegation, while it contains some
able and excellent men, is as a
whole, far below the average, and
it is hoped that the country mem
bers will bring the quality of the
General Assembly up to the usual
standard.
The most important task de-
manding the attention of the legis-
lators is the arranging for the care
Of the penitentiary convicts under
the immediate care of the state.
There should be no special difficult
ty in providing for that undertak-
ing.
1t has been given out by com
mon report that most, if not all, of
the members of the city delega-
ton, with the intention of turning
this city over to the unrestrained
possession of spoilsmen, are com.
mitted to the repeal of the Civil
Service provisions of the City
Charter. 1t has also been given
out in the same way that in order
to crafty the demands of limited
number Of liquor saloon keepers,
the entire working population are
to be robbed of their Sunday rest
by the repeal of the Sunday law.
The Picayune does not know
how many of the city members of
General Assembly are engaged in
these proposed assaults on the
peace, the order and the welfare
of the city, but it knows that if
such assaults shall prove success
full, they will emphasize the
charges that were made so loudly
in the recent state and city cam
paigns that the Democratic party
in Louisiana as now organized is
a party of spoilsmen, devoted only
to seizing and using in their own
personal and political interest the
patronage and plunder of the State.
The Picayune has been foremost
in defending the Democracy of
Louisiana against such charges,
and it-hopes to be able to do so in
the future, but it will not defend
the guilty. On the contrary, if
there be reason for it, the Picayune
will not hesitate to condemn those
who may deserve it. The Plea
yune owes absolutely nothing to
the politicians, but they owe much
to its faithful services to the cause
for which they profess to stand.
The Picayune asks of them abso-
lutely nothing more than that they
shall be true to the party they pre-
tend to represent.
The Democratic party is not an
of hoodlums and law
breakers; but if it should happen
that such parties shall gain con-
troll of the Democracy in this city
and state, then woe be to it, for
the decent people will rise up to
overthrow it as they did in this
city four years ago. At that time
the fear of negro domination pre-
vented the defeat of the party in
The state, but no such fear can now
operate to stand in the way of a
powerful opposition to the Demo-
,racy. Its safety depends on its
own good behavior. The Demo-
cratic party in Louisiana holds in
its own hands it's destiny. The
lime is past when it can with i'm
punity turn the state over to local
spoilsmen and plunderers to use at
heir will.-Picaywne.

Minard Roberts.

The community was shocked, at
about o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
to learn that one of HallOWell's most
respected citizens and well-known
traders. Minard Roberts. had dropped
dead in his store on Water street To
people in the immediate vicinity il was
all the more sudden. because he had
been upon the street but a few mo-
ments before and was apparently in
his usual state of health.
Mr.. Roberts went to the store after
dinner and complained of feeling badly
i'm his chest. thinking it was Il
stomach trouble, from which he had
suffered more or less for some time:
but he grew worse so rapidly that his
wife, who was with him, sent for mcdi-
cal aid. 1t was at once seen that the
real cause was heart trouble, and al
though restoratives We're applied, it
was without avail. and the end came
within u minutes after the arrival of
the doctor. The body was later remov-
ed to his late residence at the corner
of Central and Warren streets.

MINISTER WI
Urged 10 Do Something that conqer Nv
Communicate With Home.

Washington, July 11.-Aside from the
dispatch from Admiral Remey made
public by the navy department. this
morning. there was no news received
today, by the administration from the
representatives of the government in
China. The desire to hear from Minis
ter Conger remains unabated and it is
presumed that Mr.. WI, the Chinese
minister, Will make some further ef-
fort to obtain for the ministers. the op-
portunity of communicating directly
with their own governments. Like the
officials in Washington he is at a loss
to understand why they are not able
to do so unless it is because the con-
ditions prevailing in Pekin at this
time make it impracticable He was
asked, tonight, if the administration
had been suggestive to him to call the
attention of his government to the de-
sire Of our officials that communiea-
ton from Minister Conger be arranged
for but he declined to say.
Mr. WI in connection with the state
ments contained in the imperial docu-
ment, today. called attention to the fact
that when the first reports of the muir
der of Baron Won Ketteler were pub
lished il was stated that his guard in
revenge had burned the offices Of the
Tsung Ii Yamen. The decree con-
tanned no mention Of this which he re-
garded as singular if such thing real
~ had occurred. To his mind it con-
futed the original story which he said
like many others inimical to the Chin
csc government had originated at
Shanghai and other places.
The minister believes that the 2OWDo
Japanese will have no great difficulty
in reaching Pekin. The ministers con-
fidence in this respect. however. is not
shared by persons here familiar with
the conditions.
At the japanese legation, today, II
was said that nothing was known there
Of the report that japan was prepar-
ing to send a much larger force to chi
ma than had been originally intended.
