MEETING OF POLICE JURY.

The postponed meeting of the
police jury was held Thursday at
at which meeting several import
ant questions, were discussed and
disposed of.
The diebOld safe Co.'S contractor
was notified TO furnish to the Par
ish a $4,000 bond; for the faithful
performance of his cOmpany's con-
tract. The committee on building
is composed Of Messrs Suberbielle
Ortte and Decuir. A protest of
Leon Lemaire on behalf of his wife
against the manner in which a
certain drain was dug through her
property by the police jury,s sixth
wards members. The protest stated
that said drain had been dug after
protest and that after going
through the property work had
been abandoned thereby causing
damage by water. No action was
taken. The question of the COM
pletion of the new road on the east
bank of the bayou was brought up
led to an extended and heated
discussion. The matter being fin
ally settled by the acceptance of a
majority of the property holders
of a compromise whereby the
Parish furnished wire for the new
fence to be erected, the owners
furnishing posts and completing
the work. No compromise being
possible with the balance OF the
protesting property holders the
police jury appointed a committee
of seven free holders to expropri-
ate necessary lands for the road

Mr.. Hearst's papers-the New
York Journals, the Chicago Ameri-
can. and the San Francisco Elk
aminer-have, since the assassin
alton, been made objects of attack
by all the republican papers. From
the manner in which Mr.. Hearst is
returning the fire it is evident that
he intends to continue his crusade
against monopolistlc wealth and
entrenched privilege.

CAUGHT HIM MAPPING.

The partisan prejudice Of some
men was fittingly illustrated by
an incident which occurred in a
western city during the sad week
of the presidential obsequies.
While the campaign of 1900 was
in progress Democrats had great
sport reading a speech delivered
by Abraham Lincoln in 1858 and
intimating that it was portion of
a speech delivered by Mr.. Bryan.
Republicans readily fell into the
trap and denounced it as "hog-
wash,n comprehension" etc. An
ex- congressman stood on prOmin-
ent cornor ola few days ago and
denounced the Democrats, and cs
pecially Mr.. Bryan, for what he
termed "appeals to class prejud
ice.7 He asserted that these ap
peals unsettled the minds of peo
pie and made them disconte will
their lot, and further declared thai
the language used by Democratic
orators III discussing politlca
questions was indirectly, if no
directly, responsible for the assass
Iination Of President Mckinley. I
young man standing by coincide'
with this view, and to prove tn
truth of the assertion made by th
ex-congressman read the follow

He contradicts Dudley & Michener, but

As TO Major Hawk character. the learned

Heistand. l interposed an objection upon
the ground that We did not attack the
character or record of Major Heistand as

His Theory In rhc Bonine Case.

Edii0y 0fthe SUNDAY Gl0bc.
Having very high opinion Of your pub
lication, and the disposition you have man
ifested In many articles which have been
written and published by It's able and
learned editor and corps Of reporters, /
would respectfully ask, if you will give
space to a few remarks from one who sees
and has seen from the very early stages
of the Ayres- Bonine episode philo.
sophical solution of the unfortunate affair
The following is my theory and sincerely
believe is as near right as is possible to
make Il: ] am a man of many years Of ex.
perience among men and women in an
phases Of life The world abouuds with
young men who think of nothing but them
selves, especially If they are, OF expect to
be. somebody The student or graduate
who is at all mertorious receives any at
tention from a lady is In seven cases out Of
ten very aptto misconstrue the intention Of
the lady into another meaning, as the case
with young Ayres.
My view of this Mrs. Bonine is simply this:
That she was in the premises of the Ken
more Hotel good samaritan, going about
doing all the good in her humble way The
advice She gave this man made him mad
That was not what he was looking
for. That was not what he wanted. He
was after the woman herself, and laid his
plans for that purpose. He went to her
room as has been told. Then he returned
TO his own, divested himself of his
clothing threw himself upon his bed in
waiting the coming of the lady that he
might be fully prepared to accom-
plish what in his belief from his view was
easy His actions on her entering tire room
or his room was told by her which firmly
and earnestly believe. His death was
caused by Providence or providentially he
was killed Mrs. Bonine knows the rest
and should, and will, receive the benefit Of
any and all doubts.

JosEPH l. c. CLARKEl
MAN, Blake was fine ev'ry word that he
spoke
Snapped out like the crack of whip.
Dye mind where he looked through the
cannon smoke
As the English let 60 their grip2
For that one hot minute on Spion Kop.
God willin'; I'd roastten years,
No wonder the lecture was called to a stop
Till the bows were dead with their cheers,
And so said Burke, with his glass in his
hand.
God bless the burghers of Boerlandm
And Blake left leg there" twas Kelly
stood up
They've scattered the Irish brigade;
But few as they were they emptied their
cup,
And the man who dies twice isn't made.
Twas a fresh red mark on the old war
map,
They signed it, men, for us all
And we d rather lie stiff with them there in
the gap
Than TO cheer them in Mulligan' s hall
Oh. the fights all along the Tugela we're
grand,
So God bless the burghers Of Boerlandn
"Ah, things have gone badly" said Burke,
since then,
Tn time said Shea, with a frown
Two hundred and fifty thousand men
win wear forty thousand down"
IF was DeWet,' % said Burke, "Td set"
IF your arrah wisht, said Shea;
Phil Sheridan couldn't give points to De
Wet
In a dash and a smash and-away.
He'd keep up the fight with lone com.
mand
God bless the burghers of Boerlando
And the Beers are Protestauts. One would
think"
Said Burke, twould for something
I'm questions Of loot" said Shea, with
wink
That wouldn't reduce the amount.
When Cromwell made Ireland an open grave
And gave us the edge Of the knife,
It wasn't our souls he wanted to save,
But to ease as Of land and life.
And lis Ireland yet, lads, mountain and
strand
So. God bless the burghers Of Boerlaud"
"The smoke of their homesteads darkeus
the skyn
Said Burke, but their guns are bright,
Their women and children are herded to
die,
But they don't give up the 6ght
The world has left them more shame TO the
world
To rastle their way 20 DEATH
But an Englishman's soul TO the pit is
hurled,
When Boer gives up his breath.
And they're fighting to-day from the Cape
10 the Rand.
God bless the burghers of Boerlandm
"A race doesn't hate for the sake Of hate
Nor" said Kelly, when gun faces gun;
But the bitter black Aow'r grows early and
late
Where the killing of women is done;
On the graves of the children its roots
strike deep
Then the hearts Of live men II will clutch.
And uil judgment their race win lis foot
hold keep
You can't kill the Irish--or Dutch
So, ii none but us three were to stretch
them "a hand
God bless the burghers of Boerland"
