Luxury i'm the Army.

Congress is belatedly excited
over the discovery that extrava-
gance is rife in the quartermas-
ter's department of the army.
The new transport Sumner, now
on her way with reinforcements
to the Philippine Islands-where
we are assured daily the war is
quite ever-is found to have been
finished in mahogany, pre-
vided with service Of plate
at $4,000, bath tubs 5000 each and
1 800 mirrors. She is equipped
with costly and extravagant fit
tings of every sort and made into
sert of floating club house for
the officers en- their way to d
place where there isn't any war.
A hasty investigation stirred up
by this discovery, has shown that
each of the transports now in
army service cest about 81 900, 900,
much Of which went in making
them sumptuous. But this is on
ly to be expected. If we are to
be a military natien and go in for
glory we must foot the bills. Sen
ator Hanna has said the Republi-
can platform this year would be
two words, "GoId and Glery." ,"
The people will put up the gold
and the politicians and gold face
officers will spend it and get the
glory. Imperialism comes high.
1t means a permanent effice-hold-
ing class with high salaries; a
big army, a bigger navy and a
pension roll bigger than all; plen-
ty Of 100000 transports and $3,-
100000 battleships armored by
the Carnegie-Frick trust (capital
$186, 900, ,O00). Mere congress
sienal sputterings over silver
dinner set for officers who would
eat eff of tin if they were earn
ing their own living went effect
the grand result.-Sugar Planter.

The Democratic Speaking.

The Democrats held two meet
ings in town since we went to press
last week, the first being held last
Friday evening, good crowd being
present. The speeches were all de-
livered by local men, and it is but
a just compliment to say that they
showed marked familiarity with
their subject and greatly interested
the persons in attendance. The
great issues of the campaign were
fully discussed, and the position of
the Democratic party clearly out
lined. 1t was demonstrated that
the interests of this State will be
safer in the hands ofour party than
in those of the republicans, and that
the cry of the enemy that Louisiana
sugar, rice and lumber will be put
on the free list if the Democrats sue
ceed, was the veriest nonsense when
viewed in the light of the history of
our party on those subjects, because
it has always believed that rice and
sugar were peculiarly adapted to the
revenue producing policy of the
Democrats.
Congressman Robertson and Sen
ator Foster addressed q large and
enthusiastic audience here Thurs
day night. The meeting was called
to order by Il. 3. Dubuisson, chair
man Of the Democratic Executive
fCommittee of this parish, and Mr..
Theo. Hawkins was elected secre-
tary. Mr.. Dubuisson made a speech
during the course of which he allud-
ed to his fight in the convention
against Col. Robertson, but said he
was Democrat and bowed to the
will of the majority, and it was the
duty of every democrat to support
the nominee. Col. Robertson made
a speech on the issues of the cam
paign, calling attention to his party
record, and promising the same
faithful attention to the duties of the
office that he had given to it in the
post. Senator Foster made fine
speech, confning himself to the is
sues of imperialism, militarism and
trade expansion. He fully discuss
ed these important matters and
showed plainly where the line of de;
markation was between the two
great parties. His speech was well
received and produced a good effect
on the audience. We regret that
lateness of the meeting precludes
our giving more extended report,
but we will say in conclusion to the
democrats of this parish that their
|duty was plainly shown to be te
vote for Bryan, Stevenson and Rob
ertson next Tuesday,

Young Woman Secured Her
Husbands Release
MONTHS Of WORK
Had Personally Appealed to American
= officials and Spent a Fortune
Gave Away a Cuban Plot to Blow
up the Tec0n Theater, -

New York, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Emilio
Cashua. who was a rough rider, has
been released from Jail by Governor Cen
eral Wood. He was serving a three
years sentence for having killed Lieu
tenant Martinez, of the Cuban army.
last March.
Cashua was at the thine lieutenant of
police and the shooting occurred in the
progress of a fight in the ~Inglaterra no.
tel over the distribution of So, 000, 900 to
the Cuban veterans. Cas4lua was born
in Italy, but is an American citizen.
Feeling ran high against him among
Cuban who threatened lynching. !
A wealthy girl, Miss Castillo, became
infatuated with Cashua and married him
in jahl about a month after his tnrpris-
orment. She had given away a fortune
to the revolutionists during the war and
after the marriage appealed to General
Gomez to use his influence for her hus-
band.
Gomez refused because Cashua is an
American citizen. Since then she has
spent another fortune striving to gain
her husbands release. She pleaded with
Governor General Wood, Governor
Roosevelt, President Mckinley and the
military authorities here. Nothing
daunted her. To gain her purpose she
offered jailers large brides until orders
were issued denying her entrance to the
prison.
Shit disclosed to the military authorities
last summer a plot of Cubans to blow up
the Tacon heate and another municipal
building in Santa Clara on the night of
the Fourth of July. The information
caused alarm in military circles and for
her conduct her husbands pardon was
promised if the c~onspirators were arrest
ed. Havana was put under military
guard that night and a regiment OF SOL
diers watched the buildings in Santa
Clara. An attempt was made at both
places. exactly according to details fur
nfsthed by Mrs. Cashua.
Three men were caught in the act of
placing packages of dynamite under the
Tacon theater.
Since Governor General Woods arriv-
al he has taken an interest in the case
and considering Cashua's heroism at San
lingo he granted the pardon sCashua
left Havana secretly after his release
and will probably go to the United States
with his wife Immediately as he fears
death at the hands of the Cubans.
