What the Newark Evening News
says of Mr.. Alexander Saslovsky on
the occasion of a concert given there
by the Damrosch orchestra:
in Mr. Alexander Saslovsky, the
concert master of the orchestra, a tai
ented violinist was introduced. Here
tofore unknown to the majority of
those present, he quickly established
himself in favor by his noble and cap
tivating performance of Wtlhelmys ar
rangement of the melodious Prize
Song, one of the most charming pages
in all of Wagner's writings. In his in
depreciation of it, Mr.. Saslavsky re-
vealed, not only a technical virtuos-
ity and rare beauty of tone that i'm
parted distinction to his efforts, but
/ the ardent Slavonic temperament of a
Russian who can set forth the spirit
as well as the merely musical content
whom it will be a pleasure to hear as
often as he cares to visit u.s.

The prosperity of Germany is founded
upon the school, said one of the greatest
men of that nation. Germany has proved
to the rest of mankind that knowledge is
power, even in the fields of commerce and
toll. Education is winning Germany g
victories in trade and business, as it won
her victories on the field in 1870. We must
educate to win. We must educate the
children Of Louisiana if we would have
the State achieve the prosperity to which
she is entitled by reason OF her great
natural resources and the bounty of nature
in climate and soil. Only training and
skill can hope to win in the sharp compe-
ton of the present and the still sharper
rivalries of the future.

Every good citizen should always take
an active part in local, State and National
politics 1t is his duty. Inasmuch as the
very life and perpetuity of good govern
ment must necessarily depend solely upon
the good people of the country, it is every
true mans duty, at all times, to exercise
his best individual efforts in contributing
to the welfare of his country by conscien-
tiously using his franchise power. 1t is IS
deplorable fact that many of our other
wise good citizens do not take the interest
in politics they should. Let us add to the
usefulness of our lives by intelligently ex-
ercising the privilege of contributing to
good government by faithfully discharging
our duty in political as well as other mat
ters.

just as much as if he did.

Tennessee Paper: The person who
turns his back on the church on account Of
any grievance will wake up some sad day
to find that he has needed the church much
worse than the church needed him.
Baltimore Sun: While most other ma

the power OF rulers, members OF this Ad-
ministration are urging Capitalization,
which leads to one-man government

numerous other possessions, Oneonta has
her full share of old bachelors, although
they are by no means the past redemption

Lake Providence Banner Democrat:
The Police Jury at its meeting held Tues
day, increased the whisky license from
$3.50 to 5000 for 1907, which means almost
prohibition in the parish. We have heard
great deal of comment, which has been
the absorbing topic Of the action Of the
Police Jury, both BY the citizens Of our
town and the planters, and it seems to be
almost the unanimous opinion that the
step taken was the right one.

THE REAL JOHN BROWN.
baltimore Sun. ]

Messrs. Editors: I have read with de-
light your article on the Real John
Brown just how any intelligent man
can hold Brown up as martyr or saint
is past finding out. In Kansas he was
murderer and a cut-throat. When ne
came to Virginia he violated the laws OF
the United States and the State OF Vlr-
ginia. He was caught, tried by jury OF
his countrymen, condemned and executed,
and yet hear there is to-day monument
to him at Harper's Ferry. The law does
not allow us to plead ignorance. He was,
perhaps, the vilest wretch that ever lived.
A few days ago Vice-President Fairbanks
went to Kansas to sing his praises. That,
too, just after the said Fairbanks was at a
religious conference in the South and was
more holy than thou remember, too,
that when William Mckinley was President
he went to John Browns grave in New
York and stood with his head uncovered
out of respect to Brown the saint 90. l
remember, too, that this same Mckinley
was with Sheridan in his ruthless crusade
up the Valley of Virginia, hanging inno-
cent men, burning houses and barns,
driving off live stock of every description,
turning women and children out of doors
without food, without raiment and without
shelter except the canopy of heaven.
know there were good men at the North
who thought they were fighting to save the
Union, when if they had gone home and
minded their own business the Union was
already saved. The South was as loyal to
| the Union as the North ever was and more
SO, but we had to fight for our women and
children and for ouselves and our rights
and we have no apologies to make. 1t is
curious fact that these people will build
monuments to old John Brown and then
lift their hands in holy horror when the
Southerners suggest building movement
to Captain Henry Wirz, who was every
inch hero. If not, why was Sam Davis
hero? They both had the option to turn
traitor or die. They preferred death. And
how about Chase, Elmira, Rock Island,
Fort Delaware, Point Lockout, etc.? I
can respect a good man from any section,
but despise fool and hate hypocrite.

General chalaron's Letter.
New ORLEANS, La, March 20, 1908.

NEW OSLEAN03 Lag NH61IClA GO3 4OOOs
Mr. Ira B. Wall, ST., Clinton, La.
Dear SIR: have received your very
kind letter of 10th instant, covering list of
members of Company 6, Nineteenth Lou
isiana Regiment of Infantry, made up ac-
cording to the best of your recollection
and that of Captain Harrison. 1t is q
valuable addition to our collection.
Do remember the gallant Nineteenth?
shall never forget the fine front it always
made under and out of fire, its full ranks,
its heroic leaders-Major Loudon Butler
going down at Chickamauga, Winans at
Missionary Ridge, not half an hour after
he had protested against our Battery
(Slocumb's) being separated from the
Louisiana Brigade, he having gone along
the Brigade obtaining signatures from its
officers to petition to General Bragg to
allow it to remain with the Brigade for the
impending battle. Can forget Hyder
Kennedy and Richard w. Turner? Too
often have seen them through the smoke
of battle directing the Nineteenth in its
career of glory. And old General Dan
Adams, the "old Pelican!'' The last time
that saw him during the war was as he
passed through the intervals of the Fifth
Company, Washington Artillery, when the
Brigade went into that charge in the Nc
Donald field and into the woods to the left
and rear Of the Federals under Thomas.
The Nineteenth Regiment was on the left
and got into the Kelly field and suffered
most in the Brigade. The "old Pelican"
was wounded and taken prisoner. can
see now his horse and Adjutant Guillett's
madly rushing riderless out of those woods
and past our guns, Az Chairman Of the
Louisiana Committee for the Chickamauga
and Chattanooga Military Park, have
marked the tree against which General
Adams rested when captured, for at the
time of the Inauguration of the park met
there officers of the Eleventh Michigan,
who took him prisoner, and the very Ser
geant who was the first man to get to him.
/ have marked the utmost point reached in
that charge by the Nineteenth and other
Regiments Of the Brigade.
You know that the famous piano is here
in Memorial Hall, and is one Of the most
attractive relics. | am glad to record the
cold Pelican's !" remarks about the Fifth
Company, Washington Artillery, on the
occasion Of its ssmusiealen under fire on
that 18th of July, 1853. then heard the
Colonel of an Arkansas Regiment that was
in our rear, in the exultation Of the moment,
yell out to US. Boys, would rather be
one Of you than Colonel of any Regiment. :"
But on the score of the Fifth Company
could go beyond your patience, and SO l
close, happy to have heard from you, and
happier still that an officer Of the gallant
Nineteenth Louisiana Regiment retains
such vivid and flattering memories of a
Company which my proudest claim in this
world is to have commanded for the last
year of the war. Your old comrade,
j. A. CHALARON.

A close-fisted, self-interested seeking miser

in every legitimate enterprise that helps
the growth, wealth, usefulness and APP
pearance Of the town.

Monroe Star: The newspapers and ed
ucators, who have done so much to stimu
late educational sentiment in this State,
should turn their attention and direct their
energies toward more definite and prac-
teal work. Sentiment has been thoroughly
aroused. The people are intensely inter-
ested in the subject Of popular education,
and are willing to tax themselves for edu-
cational purposes. But, while the towns
and large centers are being benefited by
increased facilities, the sparsely settled
sections are neglected. Along with in
creased advantages should be practical
tests and experiments for farmers children.
After all, the farm lies back of the schools,
and what benefits the farm must benefit
the school. This is practical education,
and it will bring results if there be such a
law as sowing and reaping.

IMPROVED METHODS
 TO PROTECT MINERS
RECURRENCE OF TERRIBLE ACCl- DENTS IN COAL MINES OF GER MANY AND FRANCE LEADS TO NEW MEASURES.

New York. August 2S--The terrible ac- cldents which have occurred recently in the coal mines of Germany and France. according to advlces received here, have drawn the attention of scientists, espeei- ally in tho former country to the intro ductlon of methods of protecting the miners against the recurrence of such calamlties, or at least to diminishing as far as possible the ensuing loss of life.
 One measure contemplated is the con- struction of safety chambers, ssit off from the rest of the mine and protected against explosions A conduit of com pressed air is introduced into these exca- vated rooms and should the conduit be destroyed vessels or bottles filled with oxygen stored in the chambers are in- tended to supply the necessary air until rescue can be effected. logical ex- tension of the plan is the equipment of these chambers with a sufficient supply of water and condensed food to sustain life for reasonable period of time in somewhat the same manner as lleboats on vessels are equipped.
