THE CARIBS
The last dispatches from the Island of St Vincent
Ftate that tho volcano has destroyed tho Carlb village
there and all of Its inhabitants and that there Is not
now a Carib alive in the world This Is an error Tho
ribs in the Island of St Vincent may be destroyed
but thcro are other Carlba In other parts of the world
The Caribs are a people of Ited Indian race aborig-
ine originally found along the northern coast of South
Areri lea and in the Islands of tho Caribbean sea Thoy
wnc addicted to cannibalism and wore very warlike
The Fiench and English occupation of the Islands led
to bloody wars with the Caribs Their last stronghold
was the island of St Vincent where they Intermarried
withthe fugitive negro Blavos forming the race called
tho black Caribs The English conquered them In
17D0 and transported tho survivors to the number of
tonu to the island of Ituatnn or ltuotan in the Gulf of
Honduras Thence thoy passed over to the mainland
where their descendants now live principally In the
dibtrict between the Paitook river and the Belize A
few hundred were allowed to return to St Vincent
where they had a reservation There arc a few others
in the other islands There are some thousands in a
scmlwlld state in South America on tho Orinoco river
and in Guiana The Gallbl In French Guiana tho Yaoi
In Venezuela the Cumanagotto tho Parlagotto and va-
rious other tribes of the continent are stated to be of
the Carib race The CaribB in Honduras are stated to
be excellent workmen
The Caribs are divided into the Red Caribs and the
Black Caribs The former are the pure descendants of
ti < > aboriginal stock The latter are largely Intermin-
gled with negro blood from Intermarriage with fugitive
negro slaves
The Caribbean sea is named for the Caribs nnd the
word cannibal is not Improbably derived from a corrup-
tion of their name
The Spaniards called all Indians Caribs who wore
very savage or who we re cannibals The true Carlba
were very warlike They drove the Arawaks from tho
Caribbean islands They wore constantly at war with
neighboring tribes and afterward with the French and
English They wore Indian freebooters and their cxpo
dltione In canoes often extended for hundreds of mlleo
Canniballfm was practiced in their war feasts but it is
said that Its extent has been greatly exaggerated Tho
Spaniards condemned thorn to alavory for their cnnnl
brllsm but for a long time they were not much molest-
ed as they vcro a dangerous people and the early
Carlb did not make a good workman

THE EXTENT OF EVIL EXAMPLE
Tho Philippine atrocities which have been attract-
ing so much public nttentlon of late and which are tho
subject of tho great debate now pending In the senate
of the United States constltuto an evil which Is very
much more farreaching in its effects than Is thought
of by many of our citizens
Of course the paramount evil Is tho commission of
Hie crimes thcmsolves tho slaughter the suffering and
torture often resulting n death Inflicted upon tho
Filipino men women nnd children Tho noxt evil ef-
fect Is the brutalizing of the army Soldiers who are
called to do such dirty work as administering tho
water cure burning peaceful villages and killing all
people over the age of 10 necessarily becomo coars-
ened and hardened at a very rapid rate and to a very
extreme degree
But the evil does not stop here It tends to encour-
age crime in this country The desperadoes and thugs
the men of low moral calibre with criminal tendencies
when they read of the offenses for which the officers
of the army arc being court martlnled and acquitted In
the Philippines are much more llkoly to commit crime
under tho Influenco of the evil examples set them than
would otherwise bo tho case This result Is partly
brought about by tho force of tho imitative faculty of
man and partly by tho reserve of the known effect to-
ward the checking of crime that follows a stringent
enforcement of tho criminal code
And not only is there danger from the criminal
classes and from persons with criminal propensities
but such cruelties and outrages havo a tendency to
lower the moral tone of our whole peoplo It is true
this tendency may be resisted but there Is no doubt
that it exists The virtue in this country which forms
the basis of American character has been strikingly
shown in the continued denunciations by the press by
the people and by many of the members of congress
Not only Ih the demoralizing example felt at home
but It extends abroad and tends to lower the moral
tone of the whole world In the cabinet councils of tho
nations the record of such evil deeds is brought up and
bloodyminded ministers refer to such precedents to
justify their cruel courses Sheridans ravaging tho
Shenandoah valley was quoted as an exculpatory ox
ample by Bismarck in 187071 and by Chamberlain In
1902 Shermans march to tho sea and his maxim
War Is noil which ho fully acted up to havo been
referred to as precedents for outrages whenever neces-
sary In tho wars that have occurred in other countries
slnco 1S65 and arc even now cited as precedents for
the Philippine horrors

EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS
Mrs Emma Taylor proprietor of the Cameron Inquirer
has started a daily edition in which she makes this announce-
ment
To those whom I expect to become readers of the Daily
Inquirer I wish to say that I have undertaken the enterprise
first because I am obliged to engage in sonic work by which
I can support myself and children and second because I be-
lieve the field for a daily paper will prove profitable is prop-
erly worked I have often thought that an evening paper
that would faithfully chronicle the local happenings would
be welcomed by the people of Cameron and on this belief 1
am acting 1 have been promised the cooperation of several
of my valued friends in getting up the news and I feel sure
I can gather every happening of the slightest importance and
give it to my readers at the close of each day Mr Keith
in his article to the public has already too clearly staled the
object of the paper for 111c to say anything further on that
line I expect to make the paper selfsupporting and shall
solicit patronage from no one except from a purely business
standpoint If you think the paper is worth 10 cents a week
take it 1 if not let it alone If I can not run it on this prin-
ciple I will drop it as soon as I discover that I can not I
expect the paper to go ever evening into the home of every
fnmily in Cameron and will appreciate the advertising of
every merchant in the town if tlicy regard the money they
pay for space as a good investment otherwise I do not want
their business
That is a businesslike statement The first issue gives
abundant evidence that the Inquirer will command patron-
age strictly on its merits as a newspaper
On account of too much Maifest the Journal force got
matters mixed up a little in our last issue Rcfciring to Ad-
miral Sampsons death the editor wrote When death comes
it covers all and our printer set it up and makes it read
like this When death comes it comes to all La Grange
Journal
Thats right lay it on the printer Thats what we all do
Houston is a rice center So The Post has proclaimed
and its shouts have been echoed by the Houston land boom-
er Being the rice center Houston is preparing to hold a rice
palace It is well Now let the rice mills and farmers for
which Houston is the center make the rice palace a success
The mills of Southeast Texas nnd Southwest Louisiana should
have nothing to do with it It is inevitable that the really pro-
gressive clement of this section of the universe will have to
take a few slices from the Bayou Citys gall and this pro-
posed rice carnival will furnish an excellent opportunity
leanmout Journal
Come cornel That Isnt the proper spirit When you
have a rice palace or an oil exhibition Houston will attend
and help to make it a success The map of Texas is big
enough for both Beaumont and Houston

WASHINGTON NEWS AND VIEWS
Washington May ij Staff Correspondence An echo
of the great storm which devastated the Texas coast in Sep-
tember iqoo is contained in a document which the senate
has just ordered printed as an exhibit in connection with a
bill providing for the reimbursement of Captain Charles An-
derson U S A in the sum of 4410 Captain Anderson
was in 1900 an acting assistant surgeon and during the
latter part of August or the first part of September in that
year he was transferred from Fort Sam Houston at San An-
tonio to Fort Brown at Brownsville Two trunks which he
shipped from San Antpnlo to Galvcst u for reihipmcnt by
boat to Brownsville were in the Island City during the
storm One of them reached Captain Anderson not long
afterward but its contents wereaccording to the allegation
set up in the bill providing for his reimbursement utterly
mined the second trunk was nbt located for some weeks
and its contents also were rendered worthless as a result
of the exposure during the storm
The document referred to above as having just been or-
dered printed by the senate contains a collection of all the
papers military and otherwise written while efforts were
being made to trace the second trunk There arc several
communications from tho authorities of the quartermasters
department to the office of Traffic Manager then general
freight agent Jones of tho Southern Pacific together with
answers thereto and a number of notations from the South-
ern Pacifics agent at Galveston as well The second trunk
was delivered it seems on December 2 nearly three months
after the storm and the communications referred to bear
dates ranging from a few days after the disaster to thM date
The most interesting portion of the pamphlet which has
been given the public as senate document No 353 how-
ever is that which has reference to Captain Andersons re-
quest for a board of survey to examine into and report upon
the damage to the contents of the two trunks This request
was made to the post adjutant at Fort Brown on November
9 nearly a month before trunk No 2 was delivered to its
owner The request was forwarded to the adjutant general
of the department of Texas at San Antonio the commanding
officer at Fort Brown stating that he was not certain as to the
action he should take In the matter The adjutant general
referred the case to the chief quartermaster at Fort Sam
Houston who in his indorsement stated that as the damage
to the trunks was clearly due to an act of providence a board
of survey could not hold the carrier responsible therefor In
his opinion the papers should be sent up for consideration by
a higher authority
The acting adjutant general of the department returned
the papers to Captain Anderson inviting his attention to tho
indorsement of the chief quartermaster in which the depart-
ment commander concurred In his indorsement however
the adjutant general stated that Dr Anderson was at liberty
to call for a board of survey under army regulation 723
Captain Anderson took advantage of this last named sug-
gestion Under date of March 18 igoi over six months
after the storm he signed an official document calling for a-
board of survey and in doing so he made some remarkable
statements I have the honor he wrote to take issue with
the statement made by the chief quartermaster of the de-
partment that as the damage to the trunks was clearly due
to an act of providence viz the great storm of September 8
last a board of survey could not hold the carrier therefor
It is an article of faith with all good Christians that
the ways of providence arc inscrutable and past finding out
This last proposition being accepted as a fact by all
Christians 1 have the honor to maintain that if the storm of
September S 1900 had been an act of ptovidence it could
not have been foretold by man whereas as a matter of fact
it was predicted by the United States weather bureau and the
people of Galveston were warned of the approach and its ex-
pected visitance
In proof of this contention Captain Anderson inclosed
the special report on the storm made by Dr I M Cline the
Galveston forecaster
I maintain that said Dr Anderson in another part of
his communication an individual or corporation that in the
capacity ot common carrier undertakes to carry goods mer-
chandise or baggage and to deliver same in good order and
condition who of themselves or by their agents and servants
put in jeopardy or allow to be put in jeopardy any such goods
merchandise Or baggage by placing them or allowing them to
be placed in such a place that they may be damaged or de-
stroyed by tide or flood water is guilty of negligence
It is negligence at law for a common carrier to place or
allow to be placed any goods merchandise or baggage in such
place or location that other property has been damaged or
destroyed by tide or flood water within the memory of man-
or the course of history under similar circumstances
The transportation company that accepted my trunks to
be delivered to me in good order by their agents or connec-
tions know or should have known that when they placed
those trunks on Galveston island they were in jeopardy as
that island had been flooded by tide and storm water by the
storm of September 16 1875 and at other times to the great
damage and destruction of property thereon
The higher authorities in the department of Texas could
not see the matter quite as Captain Anderson saw it and by
older of Colonel McKibbiu then in command of the depart-
ment the request for a board of survey was refused In the
meantime the auditor of the war department had made a rul-
ing that relief could be had only through congressional ac-
tion for those members of the army who had lost clothing and
other effects in the storm and it was suggested in the final
indorsement on the papers that Captain Anderson have a bill
introduced providing for the payment to him of the value of
the clothing lost The trunks seem to have contained ladies
wearing apparel exclusively and it was pointed out that this
did not come under the head of effects on which officers or
privates of the army could recover direct The bill for the
relief of Captain Anderson wgs subsequently introduced and
is now in committee
This reference to Galveston brings up an interesting point
in connection with the sum which has been voted by congress
for the relief of the stricken people of Martinique While
some criticism of Representative Underwood and the others
who opposed the relief bill in the house has been indulged
in by certain sentimental individuals nnd newspapers who did
not go to the trouble of looking into the facts in the case
there is no doubt in the minds of a large majority of the
members of congress that the opposition to the bill had a solid
foundation I have personally talked with a number of icp
resentativeswho voted for the bill and who stato unhesitat-
ingly that they do not believe congress has any right undr
the constitution to make such an appropriation Rather than
oppose such a bill at such a time however they voted in the
affirmative There were only nine men who voted against the
bill in the house and there is no denying the fact that it took
courage to do such a thing These nine were Underwood
and Clayton of Arkansas Burgess and Lauham of Texas
Gaines Moon and Snodgrass of Tennessee Tate of Georgia
and Williams of Mississippi The high standing of these
gentlemen should protect them from the illadvised flings
of certain hysterical persons and newspapers who do not
know what they are talking about when they say that the
nine democrats named voted as they did because of any tccl
ing of llliberality or Jack of that pity and sympathy which
always go out to a reoplc stricken as have been the people of
fnlr Martinique Thtv voted against the Jiill for scvuril good
and sufficient reasons the first of which was their settled
conviction tint congress has no constitutional right to uiako
such an appropriation Another > their belief that France
is amply capable of taking care of her own suffering people
and that in any event the public contribution from this
country would be sufficient in every way to do the work
which is expected of those on this side of the water
One point which was not brought out however principal-
ly thrpugh motives of delicacy as that when Sooo people
a fourth as many as are said to have perished as a result of
the eruption of Mount Peiee mettheir death in ihe Gsjves
ton storm not only did this government not make any appro
S Vr
priation in the way of a relief fund but not one cent came
from France or any other government save that of the sister
republic of Mexico
President Roosevelt had evidently forgotten this fact to
say nothing of the legal aspect of the case when he recom-
mended a gift of a half million dollars to prosecute the belief
work among the stricken islands in the Caribbean

SOME EDITORIAL LEADERS
DODGERS IN SUBSIDY BltL
From the Chicago Tribune
The more carefully one examines the ship subsidy bill
the worse it seems to be In view of the recent announce-
ment that many North Atlantic stcamshia lines have been
merged the argument for the subsidy hill advanced by Sen-
ator lianna on March 17 the day on which it passed the sen-
ate is special and unsound
The senator s principal contention was that as the United
Slates pays out yearly 300000000 to foreigners for ocean
carrier service a large part of this sum might be saved to
American merchants if the subsidy bill should be passed
Is it not a loss said the senator when we pay 200000
000 A year for ocean carrier service and 25 or 50 per cent of
it might remain in the hands of the American people
Senator Hannas speech is hardly a month old and it is
already demolished London is agitated by the discovery
that the new combination the United States Steel corpora-
tion of the seaB is principally owned by Americans and
that although the English flag may continue to wave over the
ships the greater part of the money will be advanced by citi-
zens of the United States and the profits made in the car-
riage of goods and passengers between America and Europe
will to use Mr Hannas expression for the most part re-
main in the hands of American people the same American
people for whom he made his patriotic pleas last month
CECIL RHODES REQUIREMENTS OF AN HEIR
From the Chicago Tribune
Cecil Rhodes hated loafers while he lived and he has
put on record in his will his detestation of them In a clause
referring to the settlement on one of his brothers and his
male heirs of an English estate Mr Rhodes expresses his
objection to the possible development into a loafer of a fu-
ture heir of the estate He says the essence of a proper life
is that every man should have a definite occupation during a
substantial part of his career Therefore he provides that
the successor to the estate must have been ten years in busi-
ness or in a profession other than the army or in the case
of an infant heir he must enter business and remain there
for ten years otherwise the entail will terminate It is not
Mr Rhodes intention that any presumptive heir to this prop-
erty shall sit idle while waiting for dead mens shoes He is
not to be permitted to enjoy the property before he has given
evidence that he is something better than a mere sluggard
and can safely be trusted with property The idea is not a
bad one but were it generally applied there are many heirs
apparent and presumptive who would find it almost intoler-
able to lead the laborious days which would be required of
them It was Mr Rhodes theory that men should do things
There arc born into the world many men of high and of low
estate some of whom are really incapable of doing creditable
things while others have an almost unconquerable reluctance
to doing them
FRIGHTFUL DANGERS OF THE BATH
From the Chicago RecordHerald
The London Lancet which has for many years been en-
gaged in the noble work of protecting humanity from the dan-
gers that keep continually springing up comes forward with
a timely warning against too much bathin In the spring
when peoples underclothes begin to stick to them the bath
becomes particularly seductive People who can go for a
week in the winter without bathing frequently desire when
the weather warms up to plunge into the tub every few days
This condition moves the Lancet to say
Too much bathing is harmful as it tends to maceration
of the superficial part of the epidermis which is too frequent-
ly removed and occasions probably too rapid a proliferation
of the cells of the malpighian layer
Let people who are in the habit of giving themselves up
to the pleasures of the bath pause and consider It is doubt-
less a serious thing to bring on a maceration of the super-
ficial parts of the epidermis and we arc free to confess that
we should shrink in dread from one who carelessly went
about with a proliferation of the cells of the malpighian layer
It is fortunate that the Lancet has pointed out the danger
in time to head off an epidemic of the trouble mentioned
and we have no doubt that the warning will in most quarters
be gladly heeded
SOUTHERN PRESS VIEVS
New Orleans Picayune
There are signs of stormy weather ahead and it may be
just as well to cast an anchor to windward Still for the
present Mr Roosevelt is unquestionably recognized as the
head of his party Some day perhaps the country will re-
joice in a chief magistrate who will be nothing more and
nothing less than the president of the United States
Charleston News and Courier
The antiimperialists who are crowing over the water
cure says the Boston Journal must remember that this
investigation will bring out both sides of the case that it
will disclose not only the severity of our American troops in
certain instances but the awful barbarism which prompted
it That is all right both sides are wanted We have had
full accounts of onesidefor three years Now let us have
the other which has been stoutly denied to exist at all
times

Editor Stead is riding easily upon the wave of Englands
semipaiiic over the discovery of the American invasion We
do not share Steads gloomy sarcasm at the expense of the
British people There is something sturdy about a Briton
He is not likely to be downed by a twist of the wrist More-
over Steads ridicule of Great Britains extension of com-
mercial influence is altogether out of place We would like
to know how Great Britain could have obtained commercial
supremacy without commercial expansion Doubtless Great
Britain is not as uptodate as America but there is a deal of
firstclass competition left in the tight little island
