Carpet Bag Government,

The government Mr.. Mckinley has
set up in Cuba is a "carpet bag gov
ernment With our experience in
the South succeeding the civil war,
what else can we expect from such a
government but corruption? Those
who administer carpet bag govern
ment are usurpers, and we must not
be surprised if men who steal power
also steal money.
The fruitage of q departure from

Mr.. Pugh's Canal Bill.

We have carefully read the pro-
posed bill of Mr.. Pugh of Acadia, to
regulate irrigation canals in this State,
and while we heartily approve the
idea, candor compels us to say that
this bill does not cover the ground.
It is rather loosely drawn and rete-
gates too much of the matter to the
police juries of each parish. The et-
fort to ascertain the value of the lrrl-
eating plants and fix their-sctual eS-
penditures rather smaeks OF soclalistlc
inouisitiveness and possible oppres-
sion. In California and Colorado water
is usually furnished to consumers or
sold at so much "a miners inch'-
which is so to speak, the unit of value
in water matters. If the Legislature
undertakes to regulate irrigatfng
canals. and it is no doubt wise that 1t
should do SO, the legislation should be
plain, direct and positive. 1t should
lay down a fair and equitable basis
and let the police jury of each parish
supplement it with what may be nee
essary to fit local surroundings. The
schedule or tariff of prices should be
based upon the actual amount of wa
ter furnished, and the law should SO
declare in specific terms, and not leave
the matter to the whim of each police
jury. Louisiana needs capital to de-
yelop it's untold and unsurpassed
natural advantages, she needs it bad
ly, needs it every hour, needs it by
the million. Our State Constitution
extends a warm welcome to capital in
certain fields. Let us not frighten' it
away by any harrassing legislation.
! Protect the rights of the people but
do not prosecute and Cypress capital
or make it possible even by indirecA

Imperialism is having its way in
Cuba, where a trusted postal official
has been arrested for robbing the
mails of something less than a $780,
GOO. Perhaps the sort of honesty
that can not stand temptation is not
the best kind, but is certainly better
than none at all. The question now
is whether the United States will make
Cuba and the Philippines honest or
whether they will make the United
States corrupt-and whether it is
worth while to test the question.

Now 1t seems that any goods sent

will lose the shipping benefits. But

The Africanders are undoubtedly
