HUNT A HOLE.

The editor of the Grand Cane
Beacon News, should hunt hole
and bury himself. His utterances
about the candidacy OF Will
Steidley of the Lake Charles
Press for the Office of State Treas
urer, has Justly aroused a storm
of criticism throughout the State.
We clip the following from the
Daily States and heartily endorse
every word:
Without wishing to be under
stood at this early day to be com
rnitted to the support OF MI
Steidley's candidacy, we can
nevertheless assert that we can
conceive Of no more appropriate
compliment to the great BODY o.
our fellow citizens of the north
and west who have Joined their
fortunes with ours and helped 70
build up the phenomenal prosper
ity now evident in all parts OF
Southwest Louisiana, along the
lines Of the Illinois Central rail-
road and in a number OF the lnte-
rior parishes of the State than oy
selecting one Of their class to an
important State office. SUCH a
practical demonstration OF the
genuiness OF our welcome to this
valuable class of our citizenship
extended by the great Democratic
party-the dominant party OF the
State-would not be a mere empty
compliment; it would combine
good principle with good politics
and good business, and from our
personal knowledge Of Mr.. Steld-
ley it would give to the public adj
minis.ration in Louisiana the
services of a clean, incorruptible
and able man, a patriot andi a
loyal citizen of Louisiana"

A peculiar and to some people
embarrassing state of affairs has
developed from our occupation of
the Philippines. Quite a number
Of army officers and a large num-
Der of enlisted men contracted
Filipino marriages with some of
the young and pretty native
women, never thinking that they
would be held valid in the mother
country. But the powers that be
held otherwise, and the officers
and men will be compelled to re-
ceivc and support their native
spouses, whether they like it or
not. The department is right.
The matrimonial bond is too
sacred to be handled in such a
manner by an American soldier,
81 citizen, and especially in our
with people to whom We
ehoIild set an example in morality.
The gay Lotbarios have made
their own beds, now let them lie
Sd them, whether they be OF
feathers or stone.

THE SOUTH, IT'S RUIN.

Father Ryan, the author Of "Thc
Conquered Banner" delivered q
lecture in Nashville, Tenn, dur
ing the winter of 1898, in which
occurs the following beautiful
passages:
"a land without ruins is land
without memories; land without
memories is land without liber-
ty. A land that wears a LAUREL
crown may be fair to see; but
Irvine few sad cypress leaves
around the brow of any land,
and, be that land barren, beauti-
less, and bleak, it becomes lovely
in it's consecrated coronet of sor-
row, and it wins the sympathy OF
the heart and Of history. Crowns
of roses fade; crowns of thorns
endure. Calvarics and crucitix-
ions take deepest hold Of human
ity; the triumphs of might are
transient, they pass and are for
gotten; the sufferings OF the right
are craven deepest on the chroni-
Gle of nations.
Yes, give me the land where the
ruins are spread,
And the living tread light on the
hearts Of the dead;
Yes, give me a land that is blessed
by the dust,
And bright with the deeds OF the
downtrodden just;
Yes. give me a land where the
battles red blast
Has flashed on the future the form
of the past;
Yes, give me a land that hath
legends and lays
That tell Of the memories Of long
vanished days;
To tell of the strife Of the right
with the wrong;
Yes, give me the land with grave
in each spot,
And names in the graves that
shall not be forgot;
Yes, give me the land OF the wreck
and the tomb
There's grandeur in graves,
there's glory in gloom,
For out OF the gloom future
brightness is born,
AS after the night looms the sun
rise of morn;
And the graves of the dead, with
the grass overgrown,
May yet form the footstool OF
liberty's throne,
And each single wreck in the
warpath of might
Shall yet be rock in the temple
Of right"

gang of thieves that ever disgraced
The government. The rascals
should be ferreted out and punish

gardless of the effect it may have
on any political party. The peo-
pie have a right to demand an
honest administration Of the af-
fairs of the department, and they
will insist that this be done. We
want no screening of the guilty
because they have powerful polit-
ical backing. That but adds to

President Harper, OF the

should get out Of college earlier
