Pensions For Ex-Slaves.
The announcement comes
from Washington that on
Wednesday week Senator
Hanna introduced a bill by
request to pension ex-slaves,
which will cause much dis.
cussion among the negroes of
the South, and whether pass
ed or not, will make the un
suspecting an easy prey for
owindlers. T'hle measure pro
vides that e; slaves less than
50 years of age shall receive
$4 per month; between .So and
60 years, $100 cash and -110 a
month; between 60 and 701
years, 8800 cash and $12 per
month, and over 70 years,
$500 cash and $15 per month
crhe negroes have been advo
eating such legislation for
yearsn and a great deal of ex.
attement has been caused in
sonoe sections of the country
resulting in adding to the
correspondence of the Pell.
-ion Office, because at differ
ent times an impression has
gone out among the colored
people that pensions were
actually being granted by
the Government to ex-slaves.
There is no chance for such
a measure to be adopted but
the bare introduction of it
will srve the purpose , 40
yh have in "he
fleeced lgnorai~t 0Mld e
goes qnder the pretence of
securing them a pension.
The measure should never
have been introduced.
Press dispatches announce
that a congress of negroes
from all over the South, who
are opposed to antagonizing
the Southern white people by
seeking political preferment,
will be held in Birmingham
in May, as the (call says, "for
the pnrpose of announcing
$he oe~at position and feeling
of the Southern negro toward
the white people of the
South." This congress, it is
expected, will pass resolutions
to the effect that thme white
maiy o~f the, South is the ne
gro's best friend, that the
negro's best chance in the
United States is in the South.

Take Warning.
Since the passage of the
law by the Louisiana legisla
ture prohibiting marriages
of first cousins, parties thuns
related, have gone into an
adjoining State to have the
knot tied, thinking the pro.
hmibitory law was thus evaded.
In this they are wrong. The
Jaw specially forbids such an
evasion, and makes such mar
riages if legal, null and void.

The Gazette is right; the
law prohibiting marriages of
first c-ousins specifically . pro

IaIt( those who think to 5et

"Another Absurd Fa."
Under this caption the Ba
ton Rouge Advocate takes
issue with the Shreveport
Times and other papers now
engaged in a crusade for comn
pulsory education, and han
dles the subject without
gloves.
A good while back the SEN
TINEL combatted the idea of
con mpulsory education, and
briefly stated reasons why
" our legislators should steer
clear of the proposition. It
is glad to see the Advocate
enlisted in the ranks of the
I opposition to the "absurd fad,"
and hopes its gallant confrere
will continue dealing it blows
until the advocates of com
" pulsory education retire from
the field in inglorious defeat.
Says the Advocate:
Let us first "compel" in the
direction of more school faci
. lities and better facilities and
longer terms. It is more
money we want, not more
children to teach.
But when the time comes
to meet the compulsory edu
1 cation proposition, we hope
to be in esse so that we can
join issue with our good
brother of the Shreveport
Times.
It will be many long and
- weary years before this be
comes a live issue in Louis
iana. But in the mean time,
a single reason will answer
every argument in favor of
compulsory education.
Such a system is of the very
essence of paternalism. It is
the antithesis of democracy.
It would mean a death blow
to individual rights. We are
democratic from a thorough
and deep grounded belief in
and acceptance of democratic
truths and we oppose every
form of trenchment upon its
principles. We would scarce
ly look to Austria, England,
tland, Italy, Germany or
the other !tates named, or
eveanto4e manul rspab1iee
of France or Mexico, one
governed by force; the other
by emotion and sentiment for
a true system of governmen
tal ethics applicable to demo
cratic States under a republi
can government.
This is the trouble now
with our republican friends
at the North and East. They
are drifting away from the
true paths marked out by the
founders of this republic.
IThey are transforming it into
a dlespotism of wealth that is
animiicking the customs and
forms and fashions of the old
world upon whose errors and
crinmes against human rights
and individual liberty this
New World and new system
of government was vouched
safed to humanity.
Benevolent assimilation,
education forced by law and
the Bible shot into the heads
of heathens and infidels with
powder and bullets are all of
a kind, and they have cursed
and discredited republican
government, home rule and
the sancity of individual
rights.
They represent advanced re
publican views and principles
and the advocates ot them, in
our land and section, are edu
cationalists run mad.
'fhere are so many ways in
which to spend our surplus
energies, so many reforms
needed, so much lawlessnmess
to check, so much submission
to the rule of law to toach, so
many waste places in our so
cial, ethmical, industrial, corn
umercial, political and other
fields that we may well lay
aside, for the nouce, educa
tional and other fads that are
not wholecsomne, that have
never proven a success and
that are diametrically obno
xious to time spirit of our- in
stitutionis amid to the form of
our govermmunent.
The Cuban Treaty.
A rccemit (dispatch from
Washmingtonm thus speaks of
the possibility of the ratifica
tiomL of the Cuban treaty:
"As SOg)n as the statehood
(Iue.stion is solved the leaders
-of time Seniate wvill press the
Cubani reci procity treaty.
Several spee'ihes wvill be deli
vered in opposition to it. but
presumably a vote on the
.question of ratification will
be forced before the end of
the session, and in that event
the Administration is expect
ed to win. Should debate be
prolonged and prevent a vote
being taken before March 4,
it is almost certain that an
extra session of the Senate
5will be called to ratify the
treaty."
It is really strange bow
susceptible people are to fake
schemes that sharpers are
constantly trayeliiing through
the country with. Instead
of doing good, substantial
advertising with the people
at home, you generally find
them "chunking away' two,
three, five or ten dollar s at
some slick "hood-winker"
t with a business proposition
good business for the "hood.
winker," but mighty poor for
the suckers who get caught.

Always Look Pleasant.
The girl who gets along in
this world usually has only
herself to thank. It is a sur
vival of the fittest for girls as
well as for others. She must
be cheerful, she must be en.
a tertaining, she must know
i how to make, and, above all,
I how to keep friends, for thin
last is what will, in the long
1 run, count most for or against
her. A girl can't afford to
make enemies. That is a
luxury granted Lo very few
r people, and those the high
and the mighty. If she gives
way to her feelings and
a grants herself the luxury of
snubbing a disagreeable wo
man, she will be sure to pay
for the indulgence twice and
thrice over. It is wonderful
how small the world is, and
nine chances out of ten she
will run across that woman
over and over again. More
than that, e willJ be

So the girl who wants to
have a pleasant time of it in
this world must smile and
smile, regardless of her feel.

It would be far better fox
the country and better fox
the farms and much better
for the farmers if two thirdm
of tevery farm of 80 acres ox
mnore, was devoted to raising
Sfeed crops and pasturage, all
to be consumed on the farm
where grown. To grow stock
feed for others to use in mak'
ing beef, pork, wool or mut
ton is not the way to do the
thing, for the inevitable ten
dency is to wear out the farm,
and make it progressively
unprofitable. The tendency
of live stock intelligently
handled is to enrich the
farmer and the farm. When
a farmer finds his soil becom
ing more and more produc
tive, his spirits are revived,
and lie begins to feel a new
Iinterest . in his work. The
Southwest is well adapted to
stock' as is proven iby the fact
that our most prosperous
farmers are our stock farmers.

the meat store with a package of that

t "Madam," answered the meat man,

"Well, it is the worst worst I ever
saw."

Napeoloa's Temper,
A story is told of a sudden rage into
which Napoleon I. fell one day as he
Sws at dinner. He had scarce partaken
of a mouthful when apparently some
iropportune thought or recollection
) sung his brain to madness, and, receil
a Ing from the table without rising from
his chair-his small stature permitted
V that-he uplifted his foot-dash went
4 the table, crash went the dinner, and
the emperor sprang up, intending to
q pace the root. Quick as a flash his
I waiter scratcled a few magic symbols
f on a bit of l per, and the emperor's
check had wn more than double.
p. Napoleon a iated the delicacy of
hie attendan and said, "Thank you,
my dear Dumand," with one of his in
imitable smmem. The hurricane had
