The outlook for splendid crops was
never more encouraging and every
body feels good over the situation.
Taking into consideration the long
drought through which we have
passed, the falling of copious rains
and the promise of bounteous haryests
are delightful to contemplate. In
addition to improved crop conditions
there is now a fair supply of stock
water When the farmer succeeds
we all succeed, therefore we all have
reason to rejoice in the present pros
poets for good crops.

Admiral Sampson Dead.

0NAAEoOA 0Naas
Rear Admiral William T. Sampson
Of the United States navy, retired,
died at five O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
at his home in Washington City, the
immediate cause of his death having
been a severe cerebral hemorrhage.
Though in the navy for many years,
the American people became better
acquainted with Admiral Sampson
after the battle of Santiago than they
had ever been before. II will be re-
membered that Admiral Sampson was
in command OF the blOckading squad
o off Santiago, but that with his
flagship, the New York, he was away
from the feet when Cervera undertook
to escape with the Spanish vessels.
Admiral Schley's work with the
Brooklyn, it will be remembered,
assisted mainly by the Oregan and
incidentally by the other vessels of
the fleet, destroyed the Spanish war
ships, out of which grew one of the
most noted and bitterest controversies
known to the naval history of this
country. Sampson, though not in the
fight, bore away the honors through
partial and unfair rulings Of the de-
partment at Washington, resulting
in the most cruel and unamerican
treatment Of Schley.
But of this enough. Admiral Samp-
son is dead, and it is not our mission
to now refer to him unklndly. His
spirit has gone to a court OF inquiry
from which there is no appeal and the
justice Of which no moral man has
ever questioned. May his soul find
peace in the realms beyond.

The Packers Combine.

The Packers Combine.
The packers combine is still receiv-
ing the attention Of national and
state governments AT the same
time meat prices continue 80 high
that the poor man has been forced
to adopt Vegetable diets. 1t is to be
feared that the trust win prove too
formidable wen for governmental
regulation The national govern
ment made such trusts as these
possible by fostering an infamous
protective tariff system and now that
the horse has been stolen Mr.. R0oSe-
yelt is strenuously crying out for some
one to lock the stable door. How
ever, the effort that is being made,
futile though it may turn out to be,
shows that the people have forced the
government to open its eyes to the
fact that they must have relief from
the ~iniquitous workings of a system
Of taxation that has huddled together
these billions of wealth which are
being used to persecute the very self
same people who paid this money into
the Golfers of the tariff barons of the
country through the medium Of in
direct taxation.
That no relief can come from the
republican party, however, is appar-
ent to all, for that party is the abso-
Lutte slave Of the ~plutccratic millionaire
who furnishes the soap with which to
grease its election machinery and to
elect its tickets In exchange for prom
Use of governmental protection. The
only chance for relief the people have
lies in that fundamental priciple of
the democratic party which guaran-
tees equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.
MI. R~oosevelt's intentions may be
ever SO good and patriotic, but then
Mr.. Roosevelt is the servant of the
republican party and the republican
is so effectively chained and
shackled to corporate wealth and tar
III greed that his efforts to squelch
trusts presents a most laughable par
adox. The leopard cannot change it's
spots, nor can the ass diminish the
size of It's ears. Neither can the re-
publican party break away from those
who delivered it from the righteous
wrath of an indignant people through
the corrupt S of money and the
prostitution of American manhood.
The outcry of the republican party for
suppression of trusts is remindful
Of the nicely woven speech of the
spider to the fly and the masses of the
people SO understand it.
And If he is honest in his efforts to
suppress unholy workings of money
and persists in those efforts
Mr.. Roosevelt win understand it, too,
when the next national republican
convention meets. There won't be a
greasy spot left of his presidential
SEPARATION. The money executioner
will "presS down upon his brow a
,rown of thorns and cruelty him upon
! cross of gold"

wallace peiends Missouri.


Wallace Defends Missouri.
Hon. William H. Wallace, of jack
son county, spoke at the court house
Saturday night to a fair sized audi
ence, a number Of ladies having been
present. He was introduced by Mr..
w. H. Chiles and received a welcome
at the hands of those in attendance.
Mr.. Wallace began his eloquent
address with a defense Of Missouri
and for nearly an hour had the closest
attention of his auditors on this par
ticular theme. With sledge-hammer
logic and burning e%loquence he de-
Tended the grand old state against the
truthlesS assaults Of its tradueerS and
was frequently loudly and earnestly
applauded. His defense of Missouri
was at times humorous, made so by
the introduction of illustrative story,
and at times so deeply pathetic that
tears moistened the eyes Of those who
heard him. In illustrating the stur-
diness of character of the pioneer
settler an incident was recited that is
worthy a place in print. Two eastern
men were travelling, horseback,
through Missouri in the earlier days,
having in their possession considerable
money. Arriving at a comfortable
looking log home in the wilderness
they asked permission to spend the
night. There was no one at home
save the wife, but she readily con-
sented to give them shelter. Before
supper the husband arrived, adorned
with bear-skin coat and coon-skin cap,
rifle in hand and a Bowie-knife
encaSed in leather belt worn around
his waist. His appearance alarmed
the fasteners and after they had
been shown to their room they agreed
that one should watch while the
other slept, and 1fes Versa. One of
the travellers retired and the other
took up watch at the door that led
from the room occupied by the
pioneer. There were cracks through
which one could see from one room
into the other and the Waterman
availed himself of the opportunity to
look through and see what the bear
skin coated man was doing. He saw
him go to a shelf, take down a bible
and read aloud a chapter to his wife.
Then he saw him kneel to pray.
Immediately the traveller disrobed
and got into bed with his companion.
The sleeper was aroused and promptly
asked why the watch had ceased. sit
is not necessary to feel further alarm,
was the ready response. 'God is in
this house and He has Judgment in
the heart of the man with the bear
coat. Where God is no harm
can come" He then recited to his
companion what he had seen and both
Immediately dozed off into refreshing
slumber. Thus was pictured the
civilization that came to
Missouri with the pioneers, and it is
here yet.
Following his eloquent defense Of
Missouri Mr. Wallace entered upon a
of affairs political, taking
position that trusts form the
paramount issue in this country
He dwelt at length upon the
Dernicious workings of these combin-
atoms of wealth and scored some
strong points against the republican
party.
Mr.. Wallace declares he is in the
ace for United States senator to stay
Until the campaign shall have closed.

ANOTHER FLAW.

We have discovered another cause
of delay in the Water Works and
Electric Light movement, it IS a
clause in the Charter that limits
the bond issue to twenty years,
wien the projected work Will ne
cessitate that the bonds be issued
for thirty live or forty years. 1t
will therefore be necessary to have
the charter he amended, and to
amend the charter, petition will
have to te made, signed and an
election ordered by the council In
order to submit the amendment TO
the people for their approval or
rejection, we have no doubt That
the amendment will be approved
and the tax voted, but all this will
cause delay, perhaps of severed
weeks.

A PRETTY GAME.

The prettiest and most interest
ing game of base ball played here
this season, was played here last
Sunday between our boys and the
Juniors of New Iberia.
The game resulted in favor OF
the st. Martinville boys, but it was
a hard fight. as the Iberia Juniors,
though weaker than our boys, are
fine players, and made some clever
heats, and made very few errors,
while our boys made several seri-
Gus mistakes.
The result of the game was st.

10 rounds.
Both clubs were backed by their
friends and the bets were pretty
lively.
The Iberia boys say they will
tackle our boys again.
