CAMP JACKSON.
Ar old Soldier Visits Scenes of
Other Days Instead Reunion.

Hon. JIM. Mccain, Represent
ative of this parish in the General
Assembly and a Confederate Vet
Gran, instead of attending the re-
union at New Ort ans in May,
decided to pay visit to the old
camping ground of the Third La.
Regiment near Gravette, Ark.
For the benefit of the Confeder-
ates now living in this and ad-
joining parishes. Mr.. Mccain
kindly handed The Sentinel a
brief report of his trip which We
print as follows:
Il started from home on May
18th, over the Shreveport & Red
River Valley railroad, reaching
Shreveport same day at II
O'Clock. There l took the Kan
sas City Southern train at 4:45 p.
m, and arrived at Gravette, Ark,
at 8 o'clock a. m. on the 10Th.
In the evening l took a buggy
and went to Camp Jackson. near
Mayesville, a distance of five or
six miles west of Gravette. On
reaching the old camp ground |
recognized its general appearance,
the spring, the prairie in front of
the ground on which the Third
La, and other troops drilled. /
then examined into the condition
of the grave yard of the Third La.
Regiment where the soldiers who
deid there are buried. l found
three graves marked with rough
slabs on which comrades marked:
wv. Strother, Co. Sc Winn,
RIFLES Third La. Reg.;" 81. P.
Lacy" To his right and about
eight yards away is one marked
.sGibbs. From the best infor-
nation there are about fifteen un-
marked graves on the same plot
of ground. And to my surprise
and astonishment the public road
which ran on the south side of the
house used as a hospital during
the war has been changed to the
north side of the house where the
graves are located, and the ditch
on the north side of the road runs
within a foot of of T. p. Lacy's
grave, showing that the grave was
cut into by the ditch. w.
Strother's grave is in the corner
of the fence, showing that there
had been no regard for the graves
in changing the road or running
the fence.
"Messrs. j. A. Jones, W. B.
Parkins and j. B. Eggart, who
live near by. promised me that
they would see that no other tres
passing on the ground would be
allowed and they would put up
four posts to the corners out of
substantial wood and in a way
that the ground would be recog-
nized as grave yard of Exon
federate soldiers. Also Mr.. J.
Manwarring at Gravette, who had
just sold the place to E. N. Per-
ry, of Joplin. Mo-, told me that
he would do all he could IN pro-
tecting the ground. An organi-
zation of the Blue and the Gray
promised they would take steps
to protect the graves.
Il met while there the remnant
of a family that cared for my
brother A. NJ. Mccain during the
war at Mayesville. They are
Mesdames Young and Phillips,
they were young girls then but
are getting along in years now.
"Having done all / could for
the protection of the graves, l
returned home. / found at
Gravett a very kind hearted peo-
pie, went to church on Sunday
while there at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church.

NO RAKE-0FFS.

Governor Pennypacker does not
propose to have his administration
scaudalized by charges of "rake-
offs " if he can help it. A few days
ago he said:

Speaking of Senator Grady's ten
cent suffrage bill introduced in the
House last week, the Harrisburg
Patriot says: "The state senate
did a shameful thing yesterday in
the passage of Senator Grady's bill
to reduce poll taxes in Philadelphia
from fifty cents to ten cents. This
was done as Mr.. Grady frankly ad-
mitted for the relief of certain gentle
men who buy tax receipts by the
tens of thousands. thus practically
purchasing votes at fifty cents
apiece. In place of " certain gentle
men," Mr.. Grady should have said
"the so-called Republican City
Committee" which thus applies
every year about $40, 900 Of the
money filched from policemen, fire
men and other humble place hold
ers in the Quaker City. II this bill
passes the house and receives the
governor approval and it is not
declared unconstitutional by the
courts, as it probable will be and
certainly ought to be, for it makes
taxation unequal in the state, it will
reduce the price of slum votes forty
cents apiece and leave much more
money to be spent in junkets and
testimonials - to faithful machine
servitors.

A 81 JOEsSrUL RECTOR.
Formerly a Bloomsbury Boy.

We have read with much inter-
est copy of the Daily Reeord of
Port Chester, N. Y. in which it
appears that Rev. Charles Edward
Brugler is doing great work as
Rector of St. Peters p. l.. Church.
Mr.. Brugler is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Brugler, both of whom
formerly resided in this county, the
letter being a daughter Of the late
J. ]. Brewer of this town, and the
son, Ed. as he was familiarly known
here, has many friends who will
learn of his success with pleasure.
At recen. Sunday service Rev.
Brugler announced in detail the
subject of a Parish House, al d
forcefully outlined the necessity for
such building. The following
brief extract from his sermon s
quoted because it shows what pre-
gress the Parish has made under
his ministry. Speaking of II e
Parish House he saws:
" Our work has been arrested by
the lack of proper site. Within
two weeks we have been rendered
the property of the remaining one
half of our black at the corner OF
Westchester avenue and Pearl
street, all eminently proper site for
so important a work. The amount
asked for this property being fair
and just to both parties, is $4,000.
" In assembling to consider this
proposition we took into account
the position of the church. Twelve
years ago this parish stood fnanci-
ally in debt about $40, 900. the pro
perty being worth $40, 900. The
first OF January this year the churcl,
had the property entirely free from
debt aud over $40, 900 finally has
been spent upon it for improve
ments and betterments.
"The vestry had in its endow-
ment fund the sum of S., 900, all
the running expenses paid and
$3oo.oI in the treasury over and
beyond the same. The vestry has
made it point not to carry any.
thing out unless all agreed concern
ing such und .rtaking. One of the
conditions were there should be nc
debt until the past was clear and
the future bright. 1t was their
feeling that with no fund but the
surplus of S3oo.oI they were not i'll
a condition to opurcliase the property
but must decline the offer or go in
debt which they were not willing tc
do, in which opinion the rector and
his vestry were unanimous.
The lot has been purchased by
Mr.. Brugler.

Material progress has been made
by the House during the past week in
the clearing of its calendar. All the
appropriation bills have now been sent
to the Senate. The Philippine coin
age bill has been accepted and the
Fowler currency bill, which has no
chance in the Senate, is now un
der consideration. The Senate ap.
preparation committee has discarded
the House provisions for completing
the Capitol and erecting an Office
building for Representatives and it is
not known if they can be saved in
conference. The Allrich currency
bill is under consideration by the
Senate and the House leaders assure
your correspondent that the measure
is passed by the upper chamber it
will be enacted by the House. The
bill receives no sympathy from the
democrats although they may permit
it to pass. 1t meets with their disap.
proval because it is makeshift to
correct condition of affairs which
should not exist. A protective tariff
bill with rates far in excess OF what
they should be continue TO take from

WASHINGTON.
From Our Regular Correspondent,

Washington, March a, 1903,
The great Statehood contest of the
Fifty-seventh Congress is concluded
without admission for any OF the ter
rtores. While parliamentary tactics
may keep the Omnibus Statehood bill
or the Spooner compromise, nomnally
before the Senate for the remainder OF
the session, it is admitted by the
friends of Statehood that the battle is
lost. The republicans now announce
that next session they will secure the
passage, on strict republican vote,
o. two state bill, ignoring the demo-
Gratis IN the legislation. The final de.
feat of all statehood legislation at this
session came as a result of the action
of democratic caucus which voted
unanimously to reject the so called
compromise proposed by the republi-
can minority and which was never in.
tended to be accepted.
XXX
Referring to the action of the demo-
Gratis, Senator Clay said last night,
''It was impossible for the democrats
to accept the so called compromise
bill. In the first place it was not a
compromise at all, and it was offered
with the knowledge that it could not
be accepted by the real friends OF
Statehood. Would it not be a mani.
fest injustice to combine Arizona and
New Mexico in one state when none
of the people of either territory is a
greeable to such an arrangement
When all are bitterly opposed to it
In fact1 Then think of what a state
the two states would make. The
greatest length of the proposed state
would equal the distance from New
York 10 Chicago, it would materially
exceed in area the great state ol
Texas, which has the privilege Of re
solving itself into four states at pleas
ure. The result of such a combination
could only mean strife for the inhabit
ants. Why, the area of one state pro
posed would exceed that of all New
England and New York state. The
democrats could not submit to such
an injustice. Next year, however
during the long session, this fight will
be renewed and then we will win on
three or four state proposition.
Xxx
The influence of Senator Quay or
legislation during the present session
has been remarkable. He has scotchec
the immigration bill with its educa
tional clause, so obnoxious to the in
terests he represents and which inter
ests desire no restriction on immigra
ton because they wish to be free t,
import large quantities of cheap labo
with view to keeping down wage
and preventing higher standard o
living for the American workman
He has prevented any consideration
OF the Eight Hour Labor bill. H
has prevented any discussion Of tn
tariff schedules so profitable to tn
Pennsylvania interests which retail
him in the Senate. He has prevente
consideration of the Littlefield ant
trust bill now on the Senate calenda
and which contains the only adequat
anti trust legislation proposed at thi
session of Congress. These are fe
OF the ends Mr.. Quay has accom-
p'ished by enlistng the democrats an
few republicans in the Statehoo
fight and then abandoning them at tn
eleventh hour to subscribe to an in
possible compromise bill. The demt
Gratis have at last found out that the
