THEY ALL LAUGHED.

In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Nc
Kinley said that but for false hopes
of the Tagolog leaders by the POSSIBLE
ity of Democratic success "a consider
able reduction could have been had in
our military establishment in the Phil
ippines, and the realization of stable
government would be already at hand"
A few days ago, in the Senate, while
Mr. Proctor was dwelling on the need
of large standing army, Mr.. Culber-
son read the above extract from the
Presidents letter of acceptance, and
this Dialogue ensued as reported in the
Congressional Record:
Mr.. Culberson-Now 1 desire to ask
the Senator from Vermont why it is not
possible to reduce rather than increase
the army in the Philippines, inasmuch
as the election is now over and has gone
in accordance with the Presidents sug-
gestion in bis letter of acceptance.
"Mr. Proctor-Mr. President, that is
not the question that I am discussing.

A WISE SUGGESTION.
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record.
All bills introduced into Congress are
printed as soon as introduced, and it
might be we'll for our Legislature to do
likewise. All the expense of this printing
need not fall upon the State. Let the
State pay for the printing of only those
bills that are of public nature, and re-
quire the persons or corporations inter-
ested to print all bills of private nature
or that relate to corporations.
by printing all bills and giving a copy
to every legislator and to anybody else
who wants it there would not be so
much defective and improper legislation.
Greater publicity would be given every
bill, and it could not then be slipped
through without close scrutiny. And pos
sibly this printing of all bills might pre-
vent in some degree the flood of bills
that consume valuable time in every leg
islature.

HemoFrhage Of the Bowels Cured.

In April, 1899, nay little boy about two
years old was taken with a bowel trou-
bic. All efforts of the doctors failed to
relieve him. He could not digest his food
at all, it would pass as he ate 1t. This
condition produced constant hemOrrhage
from the bowels. Night after night would

In the county box he voted for w. H.

Mr.. Hicks advocacy and high praise
of Russell is logical and in keeping with

take part in nominating a Democratic

STATE ADOPTION FAVORED.

The Legislature, which meets next
week, will be called on to tackle the
school book question again. In 1895 the
Legislature substituted county adoption
for State adoption, and the result was
that an expensive lobby was maintained
by the rival book companies in most of
the counties of the State, until the mat
ter was settled Indeed quite q number
of the members of the Legislature that
made the change were employed by one
Of the companies, one of the said mem
bers, hailing from the Western part of
the State, spending some time in Wades-

There's No MOss-Back i'm This.

Editor of the COURIER:
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
that Opelousas would have ever
become a "dry town." Yet, if
we are to believe the report of the
Grand Jury, such did actually oc-
cur! justifying the violation bf
the State Sunday Law, in epeniiNg
wide the saloons for the purpose
of furnishing "our gQests'' with
liquids, as substitute for drink
ing water, of which there had
been no provision for supplying
them, forgetting that there were
hydrants at nearly every corner,
supplied with water from one of
the finest deep-water wells in the
State.
Now, before there is any action
taken for prosecuting the citizens
of Melville, as is suggested by
said Grand Jury, for a similar Of
fense, would not justice require
that it be learned whether or not
the river had gone dry there, or
the water supply had proved in
sufficient for quenching the thirst
of the ''poor famished guests, or
patrons, of the merchants of that
town.

the heavens fall"

Communicated.

Mr.. Editor-To avoid any mis-
understanding on the part of the
public as to the reason for Prof.
Mayors Silver Cornet Band re-
fusing to play at the base ball
game advertised to be given last
Sunday for the benefit of the pa
vilion on the public square, the
undersigned committee, appointed
for the purpose, desire to make
the following explanation:
The poster announcing that the
band would play was gotten out
without consulting the members
of the band, and when the matter
was brought up at the following
meeting it was found that several
members had made engagements
for that day, previous to the ap-
pearance of the poster, which
could not conveniently be broken,
hence the band could not appear.
Getting out the first announce
ment without consulting the MEM
bers of the band was decidedly
improper method of procedure,
and the second poster announcing
that the band had refused to play
looked like an attempted to place
the band in position that was
not justified by the circumstances.
