WHAT WILL THE NEWS SAY .

The Red Ricer Ne,Cs complains of
Governor Warmoth for appointing
Democrats to office in Natchitoches
parish.
What will the Ners say to the fact
that the only appointments of Demo-
Gratis, and, in short, the only appoint
ments to Office in Ascension which
have given dissatisfaction to the
Republicans of the parish, have been
made by Lieutenant Governor Dunn
during the temporary absence of Gov

tions which have been held through
out the country are simply glorious.
Never before has the Republican party
won such brilliant victories. Its sue
cess has been almost universal, as wit
ness the record:
NEW YORK,
that stronghold of Democracy, has
been swept by the Republicans. At
latest accounts the Legislature stood
Senate, "a Republicans, s Democrats;
Assembly, 80 Republicans, IS Demo-
Gratis. The anti Tammany Democracy
carried New York city, but Tweed was
elected to the Senate. Horatio Sey-
mour was defeated for the Senate.
NEW JERSEY
elects q Democratic Governor by q
small majority, but the Legislature is
strongly Republican. The success of
our party in this State was beyond
expectation.
MINNESOTA
gives a Republican majority of from
5000 to 10000.
WISCONSIN
elects Republican Legislature and
State officers by clean maiorities.
ILLINOIS
gives the Republican Congressmen-at-
large over 5000 majority, and prob
ably elects full Republican delega-
ton to Congress.
NEW HAMPSHIRE,
as usual, goes strongly Republican,
electing the State ticket entire.
KANSAS
has been literally swept by the Re-
publicans, their majority being larger
than ever before.
ALABAMA
probably goes Democratic. The city
of Mobile elects Democratic Mayor.
Hon. Samuel F. Rice, an ex-supreme
Court Judge and a leading Republi-
can, was defeated for the Legislature,
because a large number of dissatisfied
Republicans voted for his Democratic
opponent. q
MISSISSIPPI,
our gallant sister State, scores another
Republican victory by majority Of
probably $4,000. The Senate is con-
ced Republican by twelve or fifteen
majority. The contest for the Lower
House is close, both parties claiming
a plurality.
The returns are yet incomplete. Ii
next weeks issue, we shall give them
more fully. Enough is shown, how
ever, to demonstrate that the Repub,
ican party is stronger to-day than
ever, and that its success in the cam,
paign of 1879 is an almost toregone
| conclusion.
Ye Democrats, how like We the po
litical outlook?

proved by the Department. The law pro-
vides for the keeping of these securities in
such a manner that it is almost an imposs-
bility that they should ever be stolen, and
certain that the thief could make no use of
them if any one should by any possibility
ignorantly steal them. Under this system
there can be no doubtful! or bogus items in
the reserve, and the reserve is the citadel of
life insurance; when that is safe, all is safe;
when that is lost, all is lost.
The policy holders of the North America
Life Insurance Company know not only that
the trustees who have charge of the funds
which they have devoted TO the protection
of their loved ones are honest, but that they
have chosen to demonstrate to all the world
that they are SO, by putting IL out of their
po,cer TO be OthGrWiSe. This final browning
glory of life insurance entities such COM
pany to be called the safest financial insttu-
ton in existence.
There can be no fears or doubts about it !;
probably most, if not al, companies will
sooner or later be forced to initiate the North
America; meanwhile all honor to the origi-
nator and pioneer.
There is also curious state of things in
the fire insurance business, but | have al
ready spun out this letter to such a length
that must reserve that for another time.

American Watches.

Every man who has anything to do
requires a reliable timekeeper. a feel
ing of national pride leads all to prefer
an American watch. But local dealers
have for several years discouraged their
customers from buying them-and for
this reason only: 4 larger profit could
BE- made Oh foreign ,catches, and tie frequent
repairs such PATCHES required ,oaS Stedoiy
source Of income 10 the matchmaker. Wal
than watches have year by year grown
into favor with all who have worn them;
they have proved not only reliable but
economical, as repairs are seldom need
ed. They, like other standard articles,
are sold at moderate prices, which afford
the retailer but a small profit compared
with that which can be made on other
watches. But they require no urging.
They sell themselves. Hence, wide
awake dealers make this up by keeping
a full stock and selling larger number
Many dealers now divert their custom
ers from the Waltham to other inferior
watches, and, by dispalag the Wal
]tham and recommending these compar-
atively unknown watches, they sell them
for Il higher price and thus secure a
larger profit. We understand that Wal
than watches are furnished to the re-
taller at prices which will enable him to
sell them cheap and yet make fair
profit Therefore, all intending to pur-
chase, and who prefer an American
watch. should insist on having their
preferences respected.

Sylyia's Song.

The days are sweet and long, oh, sweet and long,
Al day SIT and dream, or sing the song
That some one sang for me one summer day
For me, to me. before he went his way.

And in the sun | Sit and sing my song:
Some day he will come back who went away.
And sing the song sing from day to day.
The days are long, but sweet-Oh, long but

Some day I'll hear the music of his feet
Who sang for me, and sang my heart away
Ny happy heart, before he went his way.

And then the days, SO long, but sweet to me-
Will lose the burden of 4" So long, so long -

\ JUDGE. But No LAwYER.-We
take this bit of Information from the
Oregon Bulletin of May 18th:
4 short time back Milton Kelly,
formerly Associate Justice of Idaho,
was commanded to appear before As
sOciate Justice Lewis of that Territory,
and show u why he should not be
punished for contempt of Court, and
have his name stricken from the roll
OF practiclng attorneys. His response
somewhat surprised the Court-it was
that he had never been admitted to
practice as an attorney! And an ex-
animation of the rolls proved that his
answer was we'll founded. Judge
Lewis accordingly had no alternative
except to dismiss the case. Judge
Kelly was a Justice, but is not IA law
yer. He was elevated from a noun

CENSUS CCRIOSITIES.-FrOm an ex-
animation of the United States census
tor 1870 it appears that California has
the largest number of foreigners in its
population. The natives number $685.
1913, the foreigners 209.S39. Wisconsin
comes next with 69O,320 native born
and 364.S45 foreign. In contrast,
North Carolina and Virginia are al
most wholly populated by persons
native and to the manor born. Vir-
ginia returns a population of l,2ll,3S3,
and singular as it may seem. of these
only 13,57S are of foreign birth. In
North Carolina the proportion is still
less. The total population is l,O6S.1 lib,
of whom 1922 are foreigners. 1t is
hardly probable that either the Ger
man. Americans or the Irish-Ameri-
cans of these latter States will incline
to form political clubs for any pur-
pose whatever. These comparisons
afford healthy food for discussion by
political economists.-[San Francisco
Chronicle.
