COLLOQUY BETWEEN BILL AND JACK

Jack. Say Bill; who is the guy
writing letters with the weirdest,
most tragic expression written) for
the Federation of Labor of New
Iberia'
Bill.-Oh! well the young man
is hitting the pipe. | can't guess
his uame by the hot air, but by the
Louisiana Retreats menu in his
article.
Jlm.-That is little hard. But,
don't You think the Federation bet
ter feed him on bran and tepid rye
water before he is consigned to the
national museum of Phrenologist 7
Bill.-What has the diet got to
do with the man.
Jim.-Everything; everything.
1t keeps him moving and cooled
down on his pins. 1t will protect
him from sunstrokes and other
dangers to the head. You know,
the first thing to do in this world is
to save the head; then the face to
keep up appearances, and then
lastly the grinding machine.
Bll.-You are right Jack. You
are n brick; you have been thro'
the mill; you are a roadster of
pretty fair clipp. That youngster
who has vocabularic gusher will
get drowned in his flood of words
and the Federation furnished with
the drouth of ideas
.Jim.--lt seems to me Labor is
such serious commodity, such a
necessary article of commerce that
should be handled as a serious
proposition and not juggled with
by an amateur word slasher.
Bill am going to the Fedora
ton of Labor and tell them of the
danger of mistaken eruptions and
will advise them against the reck-
less fiippancy of letting quid-nuncs
play with their assets-Labor. | /
will suggest that they get a leader
with ideas and judgment; an ad-
wiser with wisdom and experience.
Jim.-That is the real thing Bill.
You can render them great service
and | know they will vote you a
|audatory resolution and have it
photographed for your epitaph in
he hereafter. Goodbye, Bill.
Good luck.

THE RACE QUESTION IN CUBA.

The race question is coming
rapidly TO the front in Cuba, and
is going to give the statesmen OF
the young Republic great deal of
trouble. This fact has already
been anticipated by the leading
Cubans, who believe that the only
solution of the problem and the
safety of the island from race con
nict lies in annexation. This is
the opinion expressed by Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who is familiar with
the conditions in Cuba and the
character Cf the people. and it is
shared by General Gomez, who
stated his views very frankly re
Gently while presiding at a mass
meeting of negroes at Havana.
The negro leaders are demanding
full recognition and equal rights
with the whites in the government
of the island. In commenting on
their demands the Boston Herald
says:
eff Cuba Is to become what her
well wishers desire. nm independent,
self-containrd and prosperous re
public, it will hardly be safe to put
into Offices of responsibility men
who have absolutely no education
aud who have only the crudest ideas
concerning the conduct of public
affairs. The Cuban administration
needs for some time to come to be
handled with the utmost care
Needless waste and incompetency
be tolerated and fitness for
rather than the color of
he skin, must be the test applied
by the Cuban president in selecting
hose who are to carry out his com
even if in so doing he has
% run the risks of a negro insur-
'ection."
According to the census taken by
he military authorities of the
United States there were l, O67 900 |
people in Cuba in 1899 who were
'lassed as whites although some of
hem were of mixed blood, and
'05, 900 negroes, about 100000
ess than there were in 1860, show
ng that the negroes are decreasing
n number. As there are two
whites to one negro the former
hould be able to control the gov.
rnment if the negro population
1as evenly distributed but in some
ortions of the island they are more
umerous than the whites, which,
t course, would enable them TO
ule those sections if granted equal
lights with the whites. The Bos-
On Herald sees way out of the
ifliculty in recognizing only intel
gence and fitness which would
hut ont of Office all but very few
egroes, and this plan will, no
oubt, be adopted by President
alma.
The conditions in our Southern I
tates are identical with those in
uba, and in some Of them the
lacks outnumber the whites and ,,

THE PELICAN BANDS CONCERT.

As announced last week the
managers of the Pelican State Band
have completed their pavilion al
the W eek'S Grove aud will here,
after give free open air concerts
every Sunday evening This will
be highly appreciated by our music
lovers, accommodation for all who
come will be provided This action
upon the part of those young men
will supply a want long felt We
append well deserved compliment
from the Lafayette Gazette, show
ing how our band was appreciated
when away from home.
"Thc music of the splendid New
Iberia band was thoroughly enjovcd
by the people of Lafayette on the
Fourth of July. Lafayette has an
excellent band, which under the
able direction of Prof. Florent
Sontag, has won the highest en-
comlnms of lovers of good music
but In order to make the Fourth of
July celebration a distinct success
the services of the Pelican band
were secured to cooperate with the
local band. The New Iberia bows
contributed largely to the success
of the celebration and it is useless
to say their generous cooperation
on the Fourth was greatly appre-
ciatcd by the people here who had
the good fortune to hear two of the
finest amateur musical organiza-
tons to be found anywhere, The
opportunity to listen to two bands
of such excellence is one rarely
offered to people outside the large
cities, and the fremen of Lafayette
deserve much credit for having
brought them together

AN O ~FALSEnOOD.

OF all the lies, silly, malicious and
mixed, that manate from the Republican
press of the State is the bald-face as
sertion that a combination has been
formed between Mr.. Newlands and Mr..
Sparks, the terms of which are that the
latter is to be elected United States Sem
ator in 1904. While Mr.. Sparks would be
a thousand times preferable. politically,
morally and intellectually. to the Repub-
lican candidate, w. M. Stewart, he has
as little idea of becoming a candidate
for the position as he has for running for
Constable of Wedekind City. He will be
elected Governor of the State for four
years succeeding the first Monday in next
January, and will remain in the Office
to which the people elect him during his
official term. The falsehood was cut out
of whole cloth and without the shadow
of truth for its foundation.-Reno Journal.

limited Verde Closed Down.

Late advices from Arizona regarding
the condition of affairs at Senate
Clark's United Verde copper mine do not
tell a very encouraging story. While the
fire which is still burning, is given as
the ~ostensible cause of the closing down
of the property, the suspension was, II
is said, really caused by the fact that
the entire force of miners had made all
preparations for a general strike Septem-
Der 1st, and Senate Clark simply forced
the movement by discharging every man
employed upon the property, save only
seven or eight, who are to acts as guards
Only one train a day is now being run on

The recent order of Postmaster-General
Payne, by which those ~postmasters who
are appointed by the President are left
free to participate in politics and are re-

to employees coming under civil service
provisions, will be a source of gratifica-
ton to a large lumber of postmasters
throughout the country. The majority
of these men owe their appointments to
political influence. and. If they were in
capacitated from participating In the pol
tiles of their respective localities, would
soon lose their influence and their posi-
lions. Under the new ruling they may

STRONG WORDS, BUT TRUE.

Six years of Republican power has
demonstrated that the trusts have moth
ing to fear from the Republican party.
because the Republican party is owned
by the trusts. why not say that no in
dustry that can ship goods to Europe
and there sell them cheaper than they
are sold in America, where manufactured,
shall longer be protected by tariff legis-
lation? Why not put these giant con-
Germs in competition with the world?
Why longer tax the people by making
them pay two prices to the m~onopolists
that have, according to Republican ad-
mission, grown stronger than the law?
The people are beginning to suspect hat
therein lies a remedy. Even Republicans
are beginning to insist that these giant
concerns should no longer have special
privileges. The Republicans of lowe n
Idaho have declared that the trusts
should no longer receive the benefits of
the tariff laws, and the sentiment is
growing that the Democratic remedy is
plain, speedy and adequate. The DEM
