Although the Venezuelan in
cident has closed and passed
with customary modern rapidity
into the fields of the forgotten.
its Influences and suggestions
begin to be reflected in ways
scarcely less urgent than the
controversy itself. says Golfers
Weekly. 1t was the freedom
with which the public was taken
into the confidence of the negOtia-
tions that brought the dispute
to it's close so readily. 1t is
tendency toward a similar free
dom between the govern mental
powers and public in all matters
of State that is the controversy
most conspicuous bequest. In
Great Britain Premier Balfour,
now named the most popular
Premier since Gladstone, ac-
cepting the tendency, has asked
that those in position to affect
popular opinion in any wise re-
frain with all care from infiam-
ing international prejudices; in
Germany the emperor has al
lowed his personality and his
policies to become the topic Of
frank debate in Legislature and
in the press; in the Balkan
trouble the antagOniStic factors
have resorted to the press in the
aim to represent themselves
Alright before the popular tribu-
nal: in the United States, almost
simultaneously with the signing
of the Venezuelan protocol, the
policy Of publicity has been de-
clared and set in motion in the
important realm OF commerce.
True, the public is the govern
ment, and is presu to be in
the governments confidence at
all times, but the increasing
scope Of national administration,
the evolutions of diplomacy, and
the cOrruptions of politics, in
European states as well as
American, have cOntri buted to-
ward other inclinatiOnS. Frank
ness has been feared; it's favor
able force has not been deVined.
And some such Overwhelmingly
dramatic situation as the Ven
ezuelan affair seems to have been
needed to disclose the simplicity
of this means of power. To
whom individually, if to any one,
is due the credi tot bringing about
the disclosure, it is not easy to
say. Large and vital transfor-
matlous reaching to funda-
mental bases are usually the
product of long and continued
evolutions; but it would be unfair
to the current administration at
Washington not to think that
the Presidents own natural
candor, standing as support
behind Mr.. Bowen, had had
much to do with the development,
and that without this perhaps
the conclusion Of the dispute
would not have been so strongly
and notably wrought. 1t will be
interesting hereafter 80 observe
how far the tendency will spread,
and how deeply it will effect the
methods and ideals of govern
ment.

Prof. FOrtier was unable to come
on March 8, on account of sick
ness, but he is now fast recover
ing his physical strength and
will be able to deliver his ad-
dress on April 5.
An enthusiastic multitude had
gathered to hear Mr.. Fortier a
few weeks ago. The people in
the vicinity Of Broussardville
have realized the Importance of
giving their children the best
possible education. A few
months ago the citizens donated
a large building to be used as
schoOl-house, thus being one of
the first communities to supply
what is needed most throughout
the whole parish-decent, COM
Portable school-houses.
Realizing that the large in
crease in the number of teachers
employed in the parish this year,
coupled with the cOmmendable
increase Of teachers pay by the
School Board, will materially
shorten our sessions, already
too short, unless the people of
the parish supplement the pres
ent funds with a light school
tax, realizing this the people of
the fifth ward stand ready to
take the initiative in this i'm
pOrtant step. Governor Heard,
who is by far the best educa-
tional governor Louisiana has
ever had, says that Especial
school tax is the mud-sill of the
public school SYSTEM
The Broussard school-house is
an ornament to the parish. 1t
is completely furnished through
out with modern school furni-
ture, and hylOplate blackboard.
There is a faculty Of three com
petent teachers making the
school the strongest and best
graded in the parish outside of
the town of Lafayette. 1t is the
nucleus Of what, in a few years,
will be an ideal central or high
where the children may
receive academic or business
training at home at compara-
lively little or no cost.

THE DUEL IN THE SOUTH.

The case of Judge Campbell of Nir- cinia. who horsewhipped the Rev. MT. Crawford is again before the courts One of the witnesses, John l.. Lea. de scribed as a leading criminal lawyer of Lynchburg, gave testimony which throws some light upon the peculiar social relations which the duello creates in the south. On the cross examina- tioa the defendants counsel.major Con- rad, questioned him as to his personal relations with Campbell. II prefer not to go into that natter he said. ''l regret, MT. Lee, that I am Instructed to insist said the major. Then the Lynchburg lawyer answered the ques- tiCn as follows:
 My reIa with Judge Campbell have been rather peculiar Some ten or twelve years ago, during the time of my service as commonwealth's attor- father. I was promptly arrested, promptly tried and promptly acquitted by judge and jury whose integrity has never been called into question. For months afterward Judge Campbell and l did not speak. Finally Judge Camp bell came to me, held out his hand and said he didn't blame me for what l had done and that he wished to be friends. I was placed in an embarrass- ing position. but, of course. l shook hands with him and since that time we have been friendly in q way. There was never any intimacy between us

ELECTRICAL FATALITIES.

It has often been asserted that tha introduction of electricity into commc. life has been fraught with a new dan ger to humanity in the pc of rIs:l of 3 species of accident to which it has hitherto been practically a stranger. The death of two men recently at Full ham baths from electric shock. says the London Chronicle. might at first sight appear to lend color to this assertion, but the circumstances were altogether so peculiar that the fatalities can hard ly with justice be laid at the door or ordinary electrical risks. The men were bathing. and it appears their hands came in contact with metal bar which supported the pipes carrying the electric wires. From some cause O. another leakage of the electrical en- ergy took place. so that contact with the iron bar resulted in the Datners bodies becoming part of circuit. and, as a consequence, shock sufficient to cause death was given. But the scien- tifically important phase of this matter is found in the fact that q current of the strength present at Putnam Q70 to 200 Voits) is not necessarily dangerous Electrical engineers have repeatedly pointed out this and allied facts. \ person having dry hands and dry boots might receive a current of the strengtn n named without injury. When. how ever, as at Pullman. the skin is wec with hot water. the resistance of the body is much diminished, and the other circumstances under which contact was made in this case favored the occur renee of severe shock. Doubtless this fatality will have the effect of causing additional care and supervision to Da taken and exercised regarding the per lection of the conducting arrangements in public places. Leakage of current may be dangerous when, as in the case under notice, it charges objects with which people are likely to come ia cortact

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of the most dangerous diseases that med ical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully prov en in mary thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used dur
 ing the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from a slight cold when TO danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamber
 lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.

POET IS ALWAYS SAFE.

An esteemed contemporary com plaired loudly a few days ago Of q minstrel having broken out" in poem dedfcet ted to the boil weevil in which that insect was severely scored. But in all proba bi.ity the author did nos care Poets are an indifferent lot. When they get good and ready to sing they do not care for missiles hurled at them. but sing on. There was a failure of a bank at Jacksonville a short time ago, only 10 cents having been found in the safe after the bankers had closed out It would be supposed that sucn 9 catastrophe would kill the speed of any sort of Pegasus. but that would be a mistake, for poet on the Jacksonville Reformer thus treats or It:
 So it's no use to holler, and it's no use
 to shout.
 For you're all of you cold cash out. We were all of us hit for various sums But it's easy @ you know, that the
 money comes,
 So what are you grieving about?
 As 9 rule poets are never hit hard by bank failures. hence cannot feel the agony that others feel in losing what Is called their bundle. e."-Dallas News.

CAKEWALK IN EUROPE.

A Berlin paper of recent date, in al article on the "cakewall.." the "new American dance. which threatens to become popular in Europe" gives this startling account of the origin of the dance: At a dinner given by d wealthy plantation owner a rich negro and his wife were guests. The black pair were so inflated with pride It being there, and walked with so much studied air that they attracted mucl attention When the black couple had retired the host offered d prize of , cake to the man and woman giving the best imitation of the black pairs walk. Every body wanted to win the prize. men and women did their best to pro- duce the pose and step of the higi1 nosed negroes, and that was the first caNeWalk." The careless German his toran fails to give the name of the planter who entertains his black neigh bors and makes fun of them after they have gone. Evidently the writer is angry with the United States for send ing the cakeWalk to Europe, for he says: Last year there was exhibited at the South Kensington museum the art treasures which J. Pierpont Nor gan bought of Manhattan. the col lector There were thirteen cases full of these magnificent pieces of silver, enamel and faience.
