A SOUTHERN COLONY
American Exiles in British Honduras
the Good Old Creole Days.

A special of recent date from WASH

No more remarkable colony of Amer

Toledo Settlement, in British Hondu
ras," said R. F. Jackson, of New Or
leans today 1T is bit of Louisiana
in a tropic settlement, preserved to show
us what the good old Creole days were
like. There the stately and punctilious
life Of the vanquished Southern aristoc-
racy is still found, with its ceremonious
hospitality, its fine-spun sticking for
the point of honor, its pride of ances-
try and its patriarclal relations be-
tween master and servant. For more
than forty years time has stood still,
leaving the exiles untouched by modern
progressive ideas and making their
homes today the truest picture to be
found anywhere of life and manners in
the old South before the war.
The immigrants arrived in Belize in
the summer of 1865, and were cordially
welcomed by the colonial authorities.
They were given GOO acres each OF
crown lands and were exempted from
taxation for ten years. The new set
Element was called Toledo. Many of the
houses are patterned after the old colo
NAL mansions of the South. The blacks
are free, but the relations between mas
ter and servant are practically the same
as those that existed in the cotton states
half century ago.

GOOD ROADS,

The subject of good roads is of gen.
era1 interest and has occupied public at
tention for years. 1t is when the wea-
Their is inclement that the loudest COM
plants are heard When the days are
pleasant and the highways are dry, little
is said of good roads It takes money
and system to make and maintain good
roads. In the state of New York vote
is to be taken Oh constitutional amend
ment providing Tor the issuance of $780,
100000 bonds by the state and an equal
amount by counties and towns. The ad-
vantages of good roads can scarcely be
computed but their betterment has been
more of theory than a fact. In Ten
nessee and Kentucky as in other states
where the material necessary abounds,
it is possible to have rocky of mac
adam highways. In Louisiana and other
states of the South the conditions are
unfavorable for such roadmaking and
to secure these would require an outlay
of millions of dollars. In road making
common sense should be the basis for
operation and where the material such
as rock and gravel is wanting then the
best natural advantages should be adopt
ed As theory roadmaking in Louis
lana, in Caddo parish for instance, has
many advocates, but as condition and
a fact the supporters are more or less
limited. The experience in Caddo par
ish has not fulfilled the promises .anc
the anticipations for the only reason that
it is not possible to have in Caddo high
ways as in Tennessee and Kentucky, but
some improvements may be noted. How.
ever, it is the opinion of many men who
think that greater results could be OBJ
tanned by change Of the present sys.

THEIR JNGROCNDED FEARS.


The ST. Louis Globe-DennOcrat is very
much concerned lest, under municipal
ownership, strikes might seriously en-
harrass the various cities. We have seen
what stries man under. private owner
shin, bit we have had no such sad eN-
perience with strikes where the govern
ment has attempted to appropriate the
benefits of a natural monopoly, suggests
the Commoner. A large majority of the
cities of the United States own their
own water plants and in the manage
ment of these water plants they employ
large number of men, and yet when
has a city been embarrassed by a strike
among the employees in the water de-
partment? The federal government car
ries and distributes the mails, and for
the performance of this work employs an
army of men, and yet it has never been
embarrassed by strike among its EN-
ployes. What reason has the Globe
Democrat to fear strike under mr-
nicipal ownership? Its reference to
strikes in the monarchies of the world
is not in point, for our government is
not monarchy; it is in the hands of
the people, and even the Globe-Demo-
crat ought to distinguish between the
feeling of people toward government
which they manage and the feeling of
a people toward a government which
they do not control.
