lately about the harbor Is within range
Of the japanese gums. A snumber Of

will be heavily increaed before they

the cruiser Nisshiu and Kasuga yester-
day is the only disclosure made for
several days.

he is the best man, but don't go at 1t blindly, wdth your eyes closed to plain facts and figures. We are told thar Roosevelt is doing this, that and the other thing for certain denominations. If he is, it is only what he and others are forced to do, because the young men of these denominations have forced themselves to the front by the proper use of the gifts God gave them. Roosevelt didn't show them many fa- vors in 1896, as perusal of an article in another part of this paper will show.
 Roosevelt is politician of the pur- est caliber, and he is working a lot of ''feather-heads," as Mayor Collins calls them, for the votes they have, not be- cause he loves them more than any other class of people.
 Again, we say, don't be bamboozled by smooth h-tongued republican orators, or fairy stories in republican, organs. Read and think for yourselves, and then vote according to the dictates of your conscience.

Pronounced reactionary symptoms developed in Wall street this week, says Banker Clews. Business improve. ment was being discounted altogether too rapidly, and the temptation to take profits became irresistible. The market leaders were also disposed to check the advance and prevent specu- lation from becoming too -indiscrim mate and rampant. As usual, some important event was required to cause general turn in the market, and in this instance it was unexpectedly fur nished by panic-stricken Russian sail- ors bent on destroying a few harmless fishermen. The tension which this in- cident developed between Great Britain and Russia was, of course, a serious matter, and would mean war if the just demands of Great Britain for apologies, indemnity and punishment were not compiled with. There is lit- tie doubt, however, that wise counsels will prevail, and that Russia will make ample reparation for the offense, though the delay necessary to proper investigation may be rather irritating to the injured party. s2s

If man holding high commission from the people is guilty of indecent, disreputable or dishonorable conduct, every good paper wants the right to say so without being subject to suit for libel to perform the high duty it owes to the public, says an exchange. The law provides for two. kinds ,ot damages for ibeE-actual and exem- plary or punitory damages. A news paper must take its chances of falling into error and thereby doing some citi- zen damage. Hence if mistake, how ever honest, be made by a newspaper and damage be done to party which can fairly be estimated in money the newspaper should be required to pay it, but if there were no malice in the publication and no Intent to. injure, but the publication was the result s-ot honest mistake made after due and careful inquiry, no damages should be allowed beyond the real financial loss to the plaintiff, and this should be plainly written in the statute On the other hand, if a newspaper recklessly libel any citizen or assail him with such gross indifference as to whether it's statements are true or not as to amount to the equivalent Of malice, exemplary damages should be assessed as punishment for the editor and pro. tection to the public.

ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
The City Council Contracts for
New Engine and Dyramos.

At d special meeting of the
City Council on the 18th prOpo-
sitiOns for increasing the motive
power and capacity of the electric
light plant were considered and
a contract awarded to the Stand
ard Electric Light Company, of
New Orleans, represented by
Mr.. Henry Widmer, vice-presi.
dent. for the installation of one
25O horse power engine and two
dynamos of IS kilowatts each.
The new machinery will be
shipped within IS days and
when duly installed will afford
the town 5000 additional lights
giving the plant total of 1900
lights. BY advice of Mr.. Wild
mer the Council decided not to
change the system from direct
to alternating current, any
change necessitating too great
additional outlay without COM
pensating advantages. The price
agreed upon Is $6353.OO, an ex-
penditure which will treble the
capacity of the plant and it is to
be hoped furnish reliable and
efficient service.
Mr.. A. E. Mouton, chairman of
the Electric Light Committee,
represented the town in the
contract arrangements and de-
serves much credit for his con-
scientious discharge of duty in
the interest of the public. The
Advertiser congratulates Mayor
Caffery and the gentlemen of the
Council on the prospect of plac-
ing this important adjunct to
public comfort and welfare, upon
a substantial efficient basis.

A Fair Question.
To The Advertiser:

/
To The Advertiser:
The political faction in our par
ish which triumphed recently,
through an ingenious play on the
prejudices of the people and a
generous campaign fund, was
not as successful in State poll
tics as in parish politics, and be
cause the wrong man (for them)
landed in the gubernatOrial chair
they are being put to their wits
ends trying to control the pat
rOnage of the parish vested by
law in the Governor and the
State Board of Education. And
if a primary long after the cleo
tion happens to work too slowly
for this resourceful faction. then
a flashlight, made-tO-Order mass
meeting is called into requisition
to compel, if possible, recognition
of a trio of leaders at the hands
of the State administration.
Of course. nobody blames these
traditional anti administration
lists for endeavoring to snatch
favors from the State admins
tration, especially the kind of
favors that can be turned to such
an excellent account in their in
teresting political game. BUT
if Gen. Jastremski had been
elected governor in lieu of Judge
Blanchard, what would this same
faction in Lafayette parish think
of their friends on the "Other
side" who strenuously opposed
the election of Gen. Jastremski,
if THEY would try to secure the
''plums" by the methods being
employed by the aforesaid politi-
cal faction in the hereinbefOre
named parish?
This is a question with a point
to it, but it is a fair question and
a pertinent question, and the
answer should be what
is sauce for the goose ought to
be sauce for the gander."
This may not be brotherly love,
but it is practical politics.
