Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1909-12-03

The libel trial of the American mis-
.ionaries at Leopoldville on the Kongo
turns out more creditably than was
expected, by verdict of acquittal. AS
II was a Government prosecution that
result was not generally foreseen con-
fesses the Pittsburgh Dispatch. But
It is less surprising than supposed on
account of the fact that the Govern
ment Of the Kongo has been changed
in personnel and methods, and that it
was the former Government which
claimed to have been libeled. 1t can
not escape notice that the acquittal
reacts severely on the former Kongo
Government. The judgment that there
was no libel has no other logical mean
ing than that the charges Of abuse of
the natives by concessionaires and OF
at least turning blind eye to the
abuses by the Government officials
are well-founded This imposes a
clear responsibility on the new Gov
ernment of that region. AS it is
fair enough to acquit the missionaries
it ought to carry the fairness to the
extent of insuring justice and human
ity to the natives.

Inspection of Co. L.

The annual government inspection
of Co. l.. VT. Natl. Guard occurred
on Thursday, March II, at their ar
mory at the old school building.
Capt. C. A. Davis, Lie ut. R. T. Corey
and full company were on hand for
inspection. The government Inspector
was Capt. Arthur P. S. Hyde, C. A. c..
of Fit. Adams, Newport, R. l., assisted
by State Inspector Major H. T. john
son of Bradford. Gov. and Commander
in-chief G. H. Prouty was also present
and reviewed the company. The men
OF the company made extra endeavors
to be present, coming from Montreal,
Lawrence, Mass, Riverton, N. H.,
White River Junction and Lyndonville.
Three men, who lived nearer by, were
not present, as they got stuck in the
snow and were unable to reach the
armory in time for inspection. Cap
tain Hyde and Major Johnson were
accompanied by their wives. While
this is not the official report, the
inspection is said to have been one of
the most successful that Co. L. has
ever passed, both the men themselves
and their equipment being in first
class shape.
