VerrOt.Labbe.

1t affords The Gazette unfeigned
pleasure to felicitate it's friend,
Judge Alex Verrot. upon his mar
rage and to wish him and his bride
a larg- measure of happiness. The
fair one who has been won by the
Judge is Miss Ismene Liable, a most
charming young lady of the seventh
ward. The nuptial ceremony took
place at the Royville church. where
Father Chabrier linked with the
silken tie of holy wedloCk two
hearts that will hereafter beat as
onr.
During the day Judge Verrot en-
iertained number of his friends
at his residence on the Long plan
tation. There the suspicious event
was celebrated in a fitting manner.
Words conveyed the sincere wishes
aud congratulations of friends.
There was, however, just a tinge of
irrepressible sadness in the faces Of
some. These were the bachelor
friends of the groom who, though
rejoicing at his good fortune, be-
trayed a lingering regret that Cupid
mad so ruthlessly invaded their
ranks and taken away SO staunch
and worthy member of the Order
of Single Blessedness.
Mr. and Mrs. Verrot will occupy
the residence on the Long planta
ton which is one of the finest homes
in this section of the State-a fit
place indeed to sail on matr;mony's
placid sea.

KELLOGG is Amused.

A press dispatch from Washing-
ton, D. c., quotes VIM. Pitt Kel-
logg as saying that the Lily Whites
in Louisiana will receive but scant
comfort at the hands Of the Repub-
lican party of the nation. Kellogg
says that the present holders of
Federal jobs in Louisiana will be
re-appointed and that Warmoth and
his crowd will be ignored in the
distribution of pap. Whether or
not Kellogg is speaking by the card
time alone will tell. Kellogg is
said to be very much amused at
Warmoth's utter failure to carry out
the promise he made at Philadelphia
to elect three Republican congress
men in Louisiana. To the Demo
Gratis the contest between Warmoth
and Kellogg can be looked at from
afar with absolute indifference as to
the results.

a Destructive Fire.

The home of Chas. Guidry in
the eighth ward was destroyed by
its contents were completely burned.
The fire is believed to have orr
ginated in box in which had been
placed some charcoal The loss
was a serious one to Mr.. Guidry
who was left without shelter for his
family. Mr.. Cyprlen Montet and
other friends of Mr.. Guidry imme-
diately started to raise a relief fund
and we are pleased to say that those
appealed to generously responded
with donations.

Rates on Cotton.

Judge O. c. Mouton returned
Wednesday morning from Baton
Rouge where he appeared before
the Railroad Commission in behalf
of Mr.. James Magee, cotton
planter Of St. Landry parish. Mr..
Magee appeals to the commission
for reduction of freight rates on
uncompressed cotton from Ope-
lousas to New Orleans. The pres
ent rate between those two points
is SITS per bale and Mr.. Magee
asks for a reduction of IS cents,
making the rate $3.50, the same as
is charged from Lafayette to New
Orleans. One dollar per bale of
compressed cotton is the rate from
either Lafayette or OPelousas to
New Orleans. This tact is offered
to show that the railroad company
can carry uncompressed cotton
from Opelousas on the same terms
accorded shippers from Lafayette.
In other words, it is argued, that
the reasons which caused the COM
pany to give both points the same
rate on compressed cotton should
prevail as to the uncompressed ar
ticle.
The Commission has taken the
case under advisement.

Of great artistic worth. 1t is need
less to say these entertainments are
highly recommended, for wherever
Mr.. Johnson has placed them on
the stage they have elected the
highest encomiums from press and
pulpit. The "Pass ion Play" prop

merit, while the presentation in
beautiful colors of the attractions of
the Paris Fair will afford pleasure

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
FATE OF TRUSTS.
Baltimore Americanl

The recent collapse of several Of the
big trusts calls attention TO the inter-
nal, us well as external difficulties
harassng their career. Instead of
forcing itself to the forefront of sue
cess. there is more than one on the
verge of disintegratlon. Their troubles
have all proceeded from natural causes.
Chief among these has been the blum
ders made during the initial financing
Oh the concerns. Nearly all OF the
more recent ones were organized on the
theory that the public was both ignor-
ant and gullible. The promoters calcu-
lated on finding public only TOO hun

tive fever, 1t was thought, had excited
popular desire 10 hold stock in some
gigantic combination. AS Il result,
everything was combined in order to
feed the popular appetite. All kinds
of projects We're planned and then
Heated on an ocean of watered stock.
People were duped. only to awaken
later to their foolshness. This late
awakening has generated the troubles
which the trusts must meet. a popu-
lar disgust has finally developed into
popular hostility. Every legislative
measure that is aimed against them is
applauded by the people with enthusi-
astic ardor. Every competition that
springs UP against them is endorsed
and supported by popular favor
The people are joyous over the down
fall of the Flour Trust. and they are
very much elated over the Sugar
Trusts cmbarrassments. Those de-
lights will grow more expressive each
time it is known that other trusts are
entangled. What the people perceive
Is the concrete evil known as the trust,
They know that 1t is odious and eco
nomlcally detrimental AS q conse-
quence, they have declared an uncom-
promising warfare. The effects are al
ready visible. New trusts are not half
so easily formed Old trusts are not
so greatly feared. With each success
sive collapse faith will grow weaker in
what still remains. In fact. popular
sentiment has forced a reversal of the
tendency. The trusts are losing. rather
than gaining, strength. The threatened

THE ABsURDlTY OF WAR
(From Baltimore SUM-


War is an expensive luxury. as we
have found in the United States in the
past two years and as the British tax
payers have discovered. The expendi-
lures In this country amount to hun
dreds of millions of dollars, and the
end Is not yet in sight, nor Is there any
probability that the burden of war
taxes Will be reduced for many years
In reat-Britain the government has
submitted estimates which show that
the conflict in South Africa will cost
the United Kingdom pretty penny"
and large part of this burden will
fall upon the shoulders of the working
men. In the United States, as in Great
Britain. the profits of the war will 20

fits from the war in South Africa. War
is one-sided business in which those
who do not jeooardize their precious
lives carry off the lions share of the

so willing to fight others battles and
to burden themselves with taxes that

not merely fad and the creator Of
new cult in English letters, the laureate
of the jingoes, so to speak, but he is an
Englishman who sees things in q sin
gularly clear and original way.
Having gone to South Africa to study
conditions there for himself, much in
terest naturally attaches to any express
sion of what he has found. Contrary to
what might have been expected of the
great apostle of the mailed fist" Mr..
of the sputtering Of rapid fire guns or
the victorious sweep Of the British in
fantry charging the Boer trenches, but
of the rampant disloyalty of the Cape
Afrikanders and of their apologists in
Cape Town. Mr.. ISlpling says that the
loyal Britisher on the border has his
house ripped inside by Beers or rebels
or both, while the disloyallsts farm is
respected; the loyalist and his family
crawl into Cape Town in over-packcd
trains and get what consolation they
can out of singing "Britons Never Shall
BE Slaves" This, after his house has
been destroyed and his farm looted.
In Cape Town Mr.. Kipling finds that
there is a powerful influence being ex-
erted to protect the disloyallsts. Thus
he says:
ut is brutal way to put 1t, but
things are not all cream and honey in
Cape Town just now, and / confess 1t
gives me the cold creeps to watch these
smooth-talking. smiling men explaining
to their intimates as they have eN-
planned these ten years past, how this

how help will come from here and sup

are present omnipresent; they main
tain intimate relations with all sides.
with the front and the far more i'm
portant back 'front.' which begins at
Pretoria"
The upshot Of all this, Mr.. Kip1ing
thinks is that the Cape will have a
stigma fixed upon 1t for all time-upon
it and its people. This, strangely
enough. will not be done by English
men, but by the Colonial troops
through their letters home. Their

spithet spat out in a dusty camp. Will

This is 81 novel, a truly Kiplingesque
way of putting it. Nevertheless. who
that has seen the impression made in
this country by the letters of our SOL
diers in Cuba and the Philippines will
dispute the truth of it. We all remem-
soldiers phrase, 1--WE bought n gold
brick In Cuba libre," still sticks.
