HE HAS NO ENEMIES

How frequently we hear some 3 a.
son say of another that "he hasn't
an enemy in the world" expecting
the statement to be regarded as a
high compliment, but to the active.
progressive man of experience. the
statement is far from complimentary
and the following lines will give a
very good idea of what real man
thinks about the matter:
He hath no enemies, you say?
My friend, your boast is poor;
He who hath mingled in the fray
OF duty that the brave endure
Must have made some,
If not, small is the work which he
has done;
He has hit no traitor on the hip
He has cast no cup from the periured
lip.

There has been a good deal of un-
called for discussion about the pos
sible retirement of Admiral Robley
d. Evans before the battleship squad
ron sails for the Pacific. This has
been set at rest by Admiral Evans
own statement that he is not going
to retire till he is placed on the re-
tired list by operation of law. Ad-
miral Evans is not one of the young
er officers of the navy, but he is not
superannuated by any means. He
has had the experience in fleet COM
mand to handle the big squadron, for
it will not be light undertaking by
any means. The ship captains under
him will have had the experience by
the time the Pacific coast is reached
and probably one of them will bring
the squadron back when it comes, if
1t ever does come. But Admiral
Evans has earned the distinction of
the command if any man in the navy
has and it is to be hoped that his
health will hold out to take the squad
ron around the horn and thus crown
the record of a long and honorable
service by notable achievement.

A lawyer charges man $40 for ten
minutes conversation, says an ex-
change, and the man insists on pay
ing it. A doctor charges 81 for a
prescription and the patient says:
"oh, pshaw, is that enough?" An
undertaken conducts funeral, charg-
es $100, and he is just perfectly love-
ly" with everyone inside and outside
the family; a man buys gold brick
and apologies for not having bitten
before; an editor walks mile in
the hot sun to get the facts of a
death, wedding or social function,
spends three hours writing it up and
tells lies, praises people up till he
hates himself. Then if he makes an
insignificant error, or charges sc
straight for three papers, he is a
stingy, good-for-nothing cuss who
never gets anything right; he is
most any old thing and ought to be
run out of town. Talk about the ice
mani How would you like to run a
newspaper?

In various articles appearing re.
Gently somewhat pessimistic view is
taken of the lot of the soldier and
much has been written of the dissatis-
faction in the ranks. 1t is generally
conceded that the pay of the soldier
is too small and it is hoped that Con
gress will remedy this defect. But is
it not misleading to institute com
the mechanic, the farmer or the labor
er? 1t should be borne in mind that
the enlisted man is housed, clothed
and fed and that in return for a given
amount of faithful service he is pen
stoned for life, while when he is i'll he
is well provided and cared for, so
that in so far as his own material
wants are concerned he is care free.
And in most cases he has no family
to support. The hardships of the
soldiers profession are many and the
government offers little inducement
in the way of pay and advancement
to the sluggardly or the ambitious
The crux of the situation lies in the
fact that the men in the ranks are
necessarily out of touch with stand
ards of life and thought outside the
army and until the American public
can be convinced that there is as free
a career open in the army to talent
and application as there is in the
commercial pursuits, our ambitious
and energetic youths will avoid the
service.

In the latest dispatches from Cuba
we learn of an attempt to burn the
American quartermaster's corral at
Havana, in which there were 250
horses and mules, a quantity of sup
plies and a number of wagons. The
fire broke out while the employees
were at supper and was undoubtedly
of an incendiary origin, and it is now
believed that fire last week in the
medical depot in the arsenal was
also incendiary, despite the fact that
an investigating board declared it to
be accidental. This is only one of
many like reports which we constant
ly hear and which speak so eloquent
ly of the loyalty to this government
and of the respect for its authority
which obtains in Cuba. Is it worth
our while, after all, to attempt to
construct a free and independent re
public out of a parcel of white mon
archists, a group of yellow agitators,
and hord of negroes? We have
every evidence that the United States
is cordially hated for its pains by
Spaniard and Cuban alike, and while
1t is better to work for brilliant
end than to attain a mediocre one,
we sometimes wonder if the game is
worth the candle, If we are not too
altruistic.

has been broken gently to thu
various interests in political cen.
tiers and the comments upon the
effect will be quite interesting
The New Orleans cliques have
been particularly anxious to
know where he stood. Now
that they know it is supposed
that the campaign will now set
tie down 20 a state of "inoCuous
dasuetude" as Mr.. Cleveland
would describe it.
As tor Mr.. Broussard's ex-
pressed opinion that Mr.. VIII
klnson will carry this Parish
there are grave doubts that Mr..
Broussard knows what he Is
estimating upon. This is un-
mlstakable a Sanders stronghold.
Comparatively speaking Mr..
Wilkinson will not get a baker $
dozen votes hereabouts. Even
with Mr.. Broussard's supposed
influence here Mr.. Wilkinson
will fall so tar behind in the run
ming that he will not recognize
the fact that he is in it. The
voters have already made up
their minds and Mr.. Broussard
has entered the field as a Viii
klnson supporter too late to
change the situation.

New York, Aug. 5.-The
recent appointment of c. +.
Stone to be passenger traffic
manager OF the Missouri Pacific
Road has brought to public at
tention several instances of re-
markable generosity by George
]. Gould towards employees.
lie has refused to make any
statement regarding these cases,
but there is well authenticated
story that, during the last five
years, he practically has given
three men employed on his sys-
TEN an aggregate of $4,000.
These three men are said to
have been: A. c. Bird, vice
president OF the Gould lines, in
charge OF traffic; the late Milton
knight, traffic manager of the
Wabash, and II. c. Townsend,
general passenger agent OF the
Missouri Pacific. Each of
these, in the order named, have
been permitted by Mr.. Gould
to draw olarge salaries for long
periods during which their
health would not permit of their
being of any great value to the
lines with which they were con
nected.
Railroad history does not fur
nlsh three such examples of
employees whose usefulness un-
doubtedly was over, being per
mltted to draw large salaries and
indeed, urged to do SO indehn-
inltely. The most conspicuous
example is Mr.. Bird who, tor
two and one-half years, has been
living on his ranch in Southern
California and at the same time
receiving $4,000 a year, or halt
pay from the Gould roads.
MIR. Gould has Just given Mr..
Bird another leave of absence
of Six months on the same
terms.
The case of the late Milton
knight was only little lass re-
markabls. Mr.. Knight had
been with the company many
years when he was stricken with
mortal illness of lingering char
acter. In this event Mr..
Gould's generosity TO Milton
Knight amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000. The
third example OF unusual kind
ness to an employee is that of
II. {. Townsend, for years
general passenger agent OF the
Missouri Pacific. For a num-
Der of years he has been in bad
health and unable to carry the
burden he was wont to bear.
He enjoys salary OF not less
than $4,000 year.

The legislature of WisconsiI

The legislature of Wisconsin
has appropriated ten thousand
dollars for the purchase OF land
at tax sales. Whatever land
any county becomes possessed
OF from non-payment OF taxes
must be offered to the Public
Land Commissioners before it
CAN be sold to anybody else.
The land so purchased is to be
added to the State Forests Re
serves. In this way the State
can gradual recover land which
it has earelessly permitted to
pass into private hands and be
despoilcd of its wealth of tim
Der. If the State had held
these timber lands from the be-
ginning it would have been i'm
mensely better off. Ii is to be
hoped that these denuded lands
will be retorested and that,
therefore, something may yet be
saved out of the wreck.

St. MartlnvllIe, La, Aug. s
A special, but very largely
attended meeting of the Pro
gressive League was held here to
protest against certain meeting
held at MarInguoin, La, al
which delegates were appointed
to appear before the AtchafaIaya
levee board with the view OF
having the Atchatslaya Ievec ex-
tended some eighteen miles on
the East bank of she river.
Mr.. J. ]. BurdIn, gentle
men thoroughly acquainted with
the conditions of all streams in
that section OF the state, appear
ed before the Ieagae and forciblv
outlined the danger threatening
IN the extension OF Ievee.
The people of St. Martin,
Iberia and St. Landry through
the Progressive League, enter
a solemn protest against the ex-
tension If the said levee by the
board for the reason that of this
is accomplished the waters of the
Atchatalays will be forced on the
west side of the river and made
lake out of the land on the
edge of the wood which is now
in high state of cultivation.
The extension OF the levee as
suggested at the Marlnguoin
meeting would convert the
finest land in this section into a
dumping ground for the waters
of the Atchafalaya and ruin a
large number of now prosperous
people. The people of this sec
ton are entitled to receive, have
the right to expect, and do ex-
pect, fair treatment at the hands
of the Atchatalaya levee board.
Heavy taxes are imposed on the
land il this district, and upto
now not a cent has been expsnd-
ed for the benefit of the people
in same.
A request will be made to the
Atchatalaya levee board to have
a meeting called for the purpose
of hearing delegates appointed
to protest against the further ex-
tension of the levee on the east
vide, and to submit to them the
Importance OF Immediately COM
nencing the construction of
evee on the west side up to the
present one on the east side,
md to then extend them at the
same time up to the shore of
Grand Lake, where all the wat
,rs of the Atchafalaya should be
Inverted.

Representative K. +. Brous-
sard has at last broken his
silence on the Sta,s Campaign
and has taken up cudgels for
and on behalf of MIR. Wilkinson.
This fact was MAIDS known
Wednesday when he told his
friends that he had decided to
declare himself for the elderly
gentleman from up State. He
returned to the City from hur-
ried trip Washington Wednes-
day afternoon and the announce
ment was made shortly after
ward.
In answer to an inquiry
Representative Broussard said
that the statement that he had
declared for Wilkinson was true.
He said he had told his friends
that he was for Wilkinson and
that Wilkinson would carry this
Parish.
Asked whether his declaration
mean an aggressive campaign on
behalf of Mr.. Wilkinson he said
1t did not necessarily follow.
He said he had taken his time
to make up his mind but he had
now concluded to threw his in
Auence for that gentleman.
This announcement will re-
lieve those politicians who have
been wondering whether Mr..
Broussard had any preference in
the matter Of the Governo' ship,
Or whether he preferred to bask
n the background of silence and
'afety to his own chances for
succeeding himself OF lettering
lis political ambition. 1t has
more than once been suspected
hat his sympathles were in the
Wilkinson direction but until
low no declaration has been
made and now that it is made it
loes not seem to cause much
urprise.
