JOURNAL.
Every citizen of Welsh should sub
scribe for one or more copies of the
RICE BELT JOURNAL and have it sent
to relatives or friends in other states.
" Welsh is growing at a very rapid
rate. Within the past twelve or eigh
teen months it has more than doubled
in population, and still continues to
grow.
The JOURNAL predicts that when
this parish is divided and two par
ishes are made out of it, that Welsh
will be the parish seat of the new one.
Just watch and see if this prediction
does not come true.
John D. Crimmins, of New York,
who has just returned from Ireland,
says that that whole country is more
prosperous now than it has been in a
century, which accounts for the stop
page of the immigration.
- Governors, judges and other otficials
in Virginia can no longer be legally
" bribed with railroad passes. A new
 law forbids any state, city or county
officer to accept any form of dead
Seadism. The passing of the free pass
throughout the country would be a
good thing.
` General Fitzhugh Lee is of the opin
< -ion that the failure of Congress to
r  ant relief to Cuba will cause the
d--' downfall of the new republic. The
S:powers that be have all along worked
with the intention of finally annexing
'. .tCuba to the United States and when
'`:;the downfall comes as predicted, an
S~'iexption will follow.
ý? , ' Both Hon. A. P. Pujo and State
'Senator H. C. Drew, of this parish,
-.ave announced their candidacy for
gongress from this district-the new
:jl seventh. Both are able men and eith
er one of them would make a satisfac
£itory representative in congress. Cal
ci- .' asieu parish, however, would stand
s , better chance, it seems to the JouR
¾ NAL, to land the plum with only one
.'candidate.
',' TheLouisianaLegislature adjourned
last week and the members have gone
.4-to their respective homes. In bidding
them good-bye it can be said as Bro.
Ephraim did over a ""bad nigger, "
killed in a crap game: "Bredren, de
Scorpse of Tony Adams is before you.

The Crowley Signal, one of the best
and brightest weekly publications in
this or any other state, together with
the Daily Signal and the Rice Jour
nal and Gulf Coast Farmer, all
;/ founded and published by L. S. Scott,
'- have recently been sold to a stock
company for $30,000, Mr. Scott re

Some iconoclastic hand, in painting
life, draws this picture: As the trials
-i f life thicken and the dream of other
-'4a s fade one by one in the deep vista
'f disappointed hopes, the heart grows
~ ~eary of the struggle, and we begin to
g. iuze our insignificance. Those who

:their graves at last with the poor

conm-anded her to be. The heavens
will be as bright over our graves as
they a're now around our l)ath. The
world will have the same attraction
for our offspring yet unlborn as slihe
had once for ourselves. and now for
our children. Yet a little while and all
this will have hapl)lened. The world
will continue to move on and laugihter
and song will be hear'd in the very
chamber in which we died: the eve
that mourned for us will be dry and
will glisten with pl)easure. Even our

The measure over whlji.ure conditit
of this session of congres terni than
fiercely was the Philipplnhil1e liattt

debates upon it would make it appO'
The bill as passed substantially co-'
tinues the present methods of govern
ment in the islands, with some exten
sions of powers. The two houses were
unable to agree as to currency pro
visions and finally struck that matter
from the bill. leaving that feature of the
administration of Philippnle affairs
still unsettled.
Some measures of importance which
passed one house or the other failed to
receive the approval of both houses
and remain for future consideration.
Among these were the Cuban reciproc
ity bill, which was strongly urged by
the president and his advisers and over
which a hard preliminary battle was
fought; the shipping bill, which was a
relic from the last congress; the omni
bus statehood bill, providing for the
admission to the Union of the territo
ries of Oklahoma. Arizona and New
Mexic; measures for the regulation of
immigration and the suppression of an
archy and the protection of the lives
of high omficials from anarchistic at
tacks.
While abolishing special war revenue
taxes, which. It is estimated, will re
duce the nation's annual incoine $70.

extremely liberal in the matter of public
improvements. It passed a river and
harbor bill carrying in actual cash ap
proprinations and authorizations of con
tracts for great works $70.00)0,000 to he
expended to Improve the waterways
and harbors of comluerce. In addition
to this, provision was Inade, for publih
buildings in 187 cities of the country
to cost when completed $20.000,000.
The total appropriations for the ses
sion were, according to the statlnellment
made by Chairman Allison of the sen
ate committee on appropriations, as
follows:

inclined to find much fault with large
appropriations if the umoney is wisely
and judiciously spent in the legitimate
expenses of government or in esxpenidl

1Mine. Cambon. the wife of the French
minister, remarks that the style of
dress of Americann women shows great

even mnore tactful than her distin

the greattest diploinatists at our na

he adds, "may and often do exist sep

the second and third did not. The

This attempt to belittle the storm is
bitterly resented by those who were
in its path, and there is cert:linly noth

it. According to the reports of ey,
witnesses, the apipl'ron'h of the' storm
