Truthful Words.

]. M. Leveque, editor of Harle
gun, truthfully saws:
l hold these things as self evil
dent truths: That republic is
founded on the virility of the indie
pendence Of its people,, of its units,
That, as You increase the hired
class, you MAIN that republic
That, as you make unequal the OPP
portunities it holds out to Its citi-
zens, you increase the hired class.
That an increase in the wealth of
the few, however gigantic, increases
the power Of the few and dimin-
ishes that of the many, destroying
the very genius, the very soul of a
republic. l say that the policy of
William Mckinley has, step by
step, brought about this result
that the prosperity OF which You
speak is prosperity leading re-
lentlessly to the destruction Of the
republic. Already are we far
enough away from the original hope
anu aSpiI dtlch dbd lSSdl u Jul
great and majestic republic seri
ously to debate the morality Of con-
quest-a matter which, not SO
many years ago, would never have
been dreamed of. Already have
we reached the low moral plane,
under the influence of the condi
tions l have cited, to excuse our
traitrous criminality by reference
to fate and circumstance, as
sneak-thiet might his rifling of your
pocket. Already do we find null
tltude of Americans ready TO deride
the intrepid and honest words of
great statesman when he points
these things out and charge him
with mounte b ankism.
1 tell YOU, sirs, he is ignorant of
the history of nations who can view
with out the gravest apprehension
the present course of the country
and not see marvellous analogy
between these United States and all
nations of the past which have
crurn bled under the gigantic weight
of their own infamy and rOttenness,
begot and born Of an expediency
and selfishness which set material
prosperity above the laws of God.

Death OF John HeSSe.

John Hesse, most worthy citi-
zen, died at his home near this
town Tuesday morning at 6 O'Clock
and was buried in the Protestant
cemetery at 5, o'cIock on the same
day. The deceased was 4I years
Of age and was native of New Or
leans. When a child he was adopted
by the late Mrs. John P. Hayes,
and under the motherly care Of that
estimable lady he grew to mans
estate. Mrs. Hayes, who enter
tanned for him the unselfish love of
a mother, died on the 10th of last
month. Shortly after he became
i'll with fever resulting in his death
last Tuesday. His life was char
acterlzed by an answering devotion
to his fos:er-mother, displaying at
all times the most endearing quail
ties Of fila! attachment. Always
,iulitul, industrious. honest, char
liable and sincerely religious, we
believe it is but paying a deserved
tribute to the memory of John
Hesse to say that he lived a
righteous life.

Death of Mr.. A. d. Martin.

Mr. A. D. Martin, aged SO years,
died suddenly Monday morning at
his home in this town. Mr.. Martins
death was not preceded by any ILL
ness and when it was announced to
his relatives and friends the news
proved a severe shock to them.
Mr.. Martin was native of this
parish where he spent the greater
part Of his life. He was a very in
dustrious man, leading an active life
to the time of his death. Mr. Martin
was a good, law-abid:ng citizen, a
kind friend and an exemplary hus-
band and father. He leaves a
widow and six children. His re-
mains were taken to Grand Coteau
where they were inferred in the
Catholic cemetery.

GRAND JURY
Makes a Final Report After q
Whole Week of Hard and
Effective Work.

The Grand Jury made the follow
ing report to Judge Debaillon last
Saturday and was discharged:
To tile Hon. c. De6aiIZos, /sdee Of
the 18Th -/udiefa/ District Court
IF louisiana:
Your Grand Jury, duly empan
neled for service at this term Of the
court, having made careful and dill
gent examination of all matters
given us in charge by your honor,
as we'll as all other matters coming
to us from the different sources, beg
leave to submit the following re-
port:
That in examination Of criminal
cases, sent in from the justices of
the peace courts, we have found il
our duty to report no true bills in
number of cases on account of the
trivialities of the charges, and we
would recommend to the several
magistrates, throughout the parish,
that they be more careful in their
examinations before making affi-
davits.
We recommend that the Police
Jury appoint committee to confer
with the clerk, relative to necessary
repairs and Improvements in and to
his office. His books and papers
we found we'll kept.
The sher1ff's Office was also visited
H..
found we'll kept and correct. In
connection with this office we rec
ommend that a counter be placed
therein to facilitate the handling of
the business of the Office.
The treasurer's books were found
correct.
In connection with the above two
Offices, we have to say that we have
ascertained that only about half of
the assessed road tax for the past
year has been collected. We rec
ommend that the attention of the
Police Jury be called to this fact.
We found the administration of
the ja1l to be good, but there are
some slight repairs to the building
that are necessary, to which the
Police Jury's attention is called.
In closing we wish to extend to
our district attorney thanks for
cOurtesies.
Respectfully submitted,
BENZ. F. FLANDERS,
Foreman of Grand Jury.

Several DAYS ago dispatch printed
in our telegraph columns, to this
effect:
ssHonolulu, Sept. s, via San Francisco
Sept. I5.-The question of whether citizens
of Guam are Americans raised the
United States District Court here to-day.
Judge Estee expressed the opinion that the
native born people of Guam Americans
by virtue of annexation of their country by
the United States. The question arose in
connection With the application for natura
lization papers of ReynOld Reyes, native
of Guam and 4 former subject of Spain.
He took out papers, though the court said
that it was probably unnecessary. There
are several other Guam men here and
Filipinos whose standing is involved in the
same doubts as that of Reyes
Should his ruling Of Judge Estee
stand and be drawn into a prece-
dent, the results of our foreign con-
quest will become both inconve-
nient and unpleasant For if it be
a good law that the Guamites have
been transformed into ful-f1edsed
American citizens by our simple
acquisition of the island of Guam
from Spain, it must be equally
good law that the nine or ten mil
lions of the FilipinOs are also full
f1edged American citizens.
The Filipinos would not be oesir-
able fellow itizens, any more than
IRE the eight or nine millions of the
inferior race whom we have already
among us: but as we have acquired
them, whether by purchase as ex
Secretary Of State Day argued or
by the decree Of destiny as McKin-
ley has contended, it looks as if We
might be saddled with them in per
petuity. If they be our fellow citi-
zens in full standing, as Judge
Estee has just ruled, we must adj
nit them into the United States
whenever and in whatever numbers
they may come here, and whether
they come as visitors or as Settlers
We have on our statute book
stringent laws for the exclusion of
tn Chinaman-wt:ic laws we en-
force with no incnnsiderabie rigor;
and a strong sentiment is making
itself felt in various parts of the
country, particularl,' in the North
west and on the Pacific slope, that
not only the Celestial but the Jap
also must be kept out of the coun-
try if our workingmen are to have
show of making lvclih God at
all. Now, what manner Of sense is
there in excluding the Celestial and
the Jap, il W. are to admit the Fill
pino? But this is precisely what
the administration has been work
ing for, and is not unlikely to ac-
complish, in the acquisition. of the
Philippine group

conquest p'evail, nine or ten mil
lions of another interior race will
