Council finds that the roadway on
the long lane IS blocked in some
places to the heighth Of ten feet

leading to II are S Corner is in bad

fronts the council is the condition Of
several culyerts along the roadways
yet within the limits OF the city. One
near the Edwards farm on the !,
sout'erlv section Of the city and the
one OIL the Basin road near the Banks
farm have bad breaks in them and
are in Il dangerous condition. This
will cause heavy expense which the
city is not able to stand at present.

such was not the case. Rebecca with
several other children was playing on
the ice when the accident happened.
She arose to her feet but Professor
Griffith who was standing nearby saw
that the child was injured more than
she or her companions realized. She
was carried 10 her home and until

That immunity from overflow

fact largely through the efforts Of

private fortunes. The use of con

upon as experimental. These facts
and the Importance and necessity
for liberal appropriations are be

acknowledged; opposition to prop

hoped that the time is not ia

The citizens of Madison parish
met in mass meeting on Tuesday
of last week to consider the ques-
ton of rights of way of the Gould
rail road through that parish. We
learn that the meeting was largely
attended and that Col. F. b.
Maxwell was made chairman. A
resolution was adopted guarantee
ing the company the right of way
through the parish. The vote was
unanimous, with the exception OF
two moss-backs, II. b. Holmes
and J. ". johnson, who, we sup
pose are agin' the earth and every
thing in it. After the adjourn
ment of the mass meeting the Po-
lice Jury met and accepted official
ly, the action of the mass mt citing.
Tensas and Concordia will follow
suit, which guarantees to the Co.
the rights of way through the four
river parishes without costing the
company one cent. As this is oil
that is asked, it guarantees the
construction of the road. 1t is
hard to comprehend why these
two citizens of Madison would
want to throw a damper on such
a gigantic enterprise as building
a North and South road by oppos-
ing purchasing the very few rights
OF way by the Police Jury of that
parish where they are refused
Here in East Carroll only one OF
two persons refused to give the
rights of way, and we suppose
there will only be about this num-
Der in our parish who will refuse,
and the Police Jury did the right
thing in agreeing TO appropriate
the land and pay for it, just
as will be done in East Carroll
We understand though that those
who refused TO- give the rights Of
way in this parish have now done
so. Messrs. Holmes and johnson
were rather short-sighted, and II
does not show the spirit of progress
that should be shown by the citl'
zens of any country, especially al
ours is situated. No doubt Mr.
Johnson thinks that his one-horst
telegraph line will be "done up
if this road is built, which il
about correct; but why should
such a leading citizens as Major
Holmes oppose the building of Q
rail road through his parish, We
cannot understand.

For the benefit of your readers,
will you please announce in your
columns that visitors to the In
sane Asylum have to be provided
with physicians health certificate
showing that they have not been
exposed to contagious or infectious
diseases for thirty days. As scar
let fever, diptheria, end small pox
exist in certain localities in the
State, it is necessary that the
patients should be safe-guarded in
this manner.
By complying with this neces-
sary requirement visitors will
obviate the unpleasant necessity
of being refused admission at the
gate. The certificate of any rep
utable physician will be accepted.

In 1900 Cuba bought of this
country goods to the value of $780,
086, 500; in 1901 the purchases of
the Island from this country
amounted to $2S, 07S, 702. There
fore the export trade to the United
State to Cuba of 1901, when
compared to that of 1900, fell of
about 100000. In 1900 we
purchased from Cuba goods to the
amount of 34,62l, $40; in 1901
onrpurchases amounted to IS, 497, )
1853. Here was an increase ofour
importtrade.o of nearly 81 900, 900.
At the. same time it is true that
European countries in 1901 had q
larger share of the commerce OF
Cuba than they had in 1900
These facts throw a strong light
on aquestion which is agitating
Congress. We are having prac.
teal illustration of the evil effects
of our policy, Other nations are
gaming the advantage of us in
Cuba. Their goods enter the Is
land on precisely the same terms
as our own, they can buy Cuban
goods in return to better advantage
because they do not raise Dlngley
wall against them. Thus our ma.
terial interests and our moral
obligations coincide. = Harper's
Weekly.

The Police Jury should Act.

There is no longer a doubt that
the dream of every progressive man
in Tensas is to be realized by the
building of q trunk line of railroad
/. through the parish from North to
South; placing us in the world;
within seven hours of New Orleans
and twenty hours of st. Louis; Civ,
ing us two mails daily; giving us
the New Orleans papers on the day
of publication; attracting capital
and home-seekers to our fertile soil
aud genial climate and bringing in
its wake wealth, progress and new
life.
The only question now is rs to
whether st. Joseph and Water
proof, our two principal towns, are
to be on the line of the road; New
elton, the only other town in the
parish, is on the line, and if the
road can be induced to build into
st. Joseph the three towns will
have direct rail communication
with each other, for it is almost
certain that if the line runs
through st. Joseph it will go
East of Lake st. Peter and there
fore within mile or less of Wa
s terproos.
Now, the Railroad Company
has agreed, that if the sum of Ten
Thousand dollars Is subscribed
and a five mill tax for. ten years
is voted by st. Joseph to the road
and the town uses It's efforts to
secure a free right of way for the
Company through the parish,
that the line shall go through St.
Joseph. The town, though re-
Gently devasted by fire and tenn
porarily crippled financially has
with zeal and progressive spirit
most commendable subscribed the
Ten Thousand Dollars and will
vote the tax. The only thing re-
naming to be done TO secure the
road to St. Joseph, and probably
to Waterproof also, is to secure
the rights Of way. The town APP
peals to the Police Jury aud the
people of the parish to aid in Tins
work. 1t is felt that this is not a
matter that concerns the people OF
St. Joseph alone, but that all the
people of Tensas have direct in
terest in it.. St. Joseph is the
parish seat, where every citizen
must come as taxpayer, litigant,
witness or juror; where all public
meetings are held !, where the Police
Jury, the School Board and the
Court sit for the transaction OF the
public business. The public prep
erty is here, Including about 100
= Il
acres of land, all susceptible OF
sale for town lots, and which wall
be very valuable if the railroad
comes into the town. The st.
Joseph Bank is here, the stock OF
which is distributed among clti-
Gems living in all parts of the par
ish. If the road comes, COM
press will certainly be built here
enabling our people to sell their
cotton to home buyers.
Taking these things into consid-
Grafton the GAZETTE earnestly sug-
eests to the Police Jury to hold a
special meeting and to guarantee
70 the railroad free rights of way
through the parish feeling that
such action on their part will lfeet
with the full and cordial approval
- a. ,>o,,,,la of Tensas.
