THrE NC EMERY AND LABOR gu rs
TION SOLVED I'm LOUISIANA.

When the sun went down on election
day in Louisiana, in November last. both
parties claimed the state by Overwhelming
majoritics. The election, fortunately or
unfortunately, occurred n day previous TO
that assigned for it in the other states, and
the politician was eXiairated or depressed
In accordance with the tenor of the partic-
ular kilograms he read. There were enough
of both kinds, and all the politician had to
do was TO pay his money and take his
choice Fraud corruption and dishonesty
ruled the hour. Ballot boxes were stuffed
and unstuffed inspectors of election were
bought by one side and then, for higher
price, sold themselves to the other check
lists heightened or shortened as neccs-
sty required returns were stolen and re-
stolen; and this kind of thing went on UNI
til no one could unravel the tangled thread
and declare not who the legal voters wanted
Tor office, but whom they had voted for.
This state of affairs continued, and for
some time il was nip and tuck between
Kellogg and McEnery, but Kellogg finally
succeeded The political power of the
Union sustained HIM, but only after Durcll
had prostituted his office to make Kellogg
governor and the state supreme court, al
so sided with Kellogg, so that he is the de
tacto if not the dc jure governor. There
was one point on which we have always
thought the decision by which Kellogg was
made governor was correct, and that is the
McEnery party, in this respect, made Il
great mistake and played into Kellogg's
hands. But this is no matter now, as Nc
Emery has the opportunity presented him Of
retrieving his political fortunes, obtaining
office and power, and keeping it forever. if
he so desires. 1t will require, to be sure, Il
''big pile of money, but what is that TO
politician? 1t, also, involves the grandest
carpet-bagging scheme of the time but
what matters that? when the carpet-bag
arrives in Louisiana it will not depart there
from. The communists or internationalsts
are poor and, moreover, don't know what to
do with themselves, they, therefore, make

RoBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL. -- The
Brooklyn banks now hold S4,5O0,000 of
city funds on which they pay about per
cent interest. The city of Brooklyn in the
meantime is borrowing money daily and
issuing its bonds as security, paying III
terest thereon at the rate of 7 per cent.
Mr. Schroeder is reported TO have said that
few institutions will lend him money on
city bonds that the debt was increased
last year nearly S2,500,000, and that this
amount must be raised by the issue of city
bonds. Some Of the banks that hold the
city money are loaning it back again at 7
per cent interest, but in the language of
one of their presidents, they "Never d.
vulge the secrets of the bank"

REJECTING PETITIONS IN lsyl.

When in the year 1918, the barons of
England desired to petition King John for
redress OF grieyances-w which resulted in
the great charter of English liberties-they
assembled, with their retainers, like an
army, in order that they might present
their petition or make their demand. The
historian informs us that 1.-TWO parties
that is the barons with their retaners, and
the King with his adherents-' encamped
apart, like open enemies" Subsequent
ly-but at what particular date it is I'M
necessary to enquire-the right of petition,
as we now understand it, was acknowledge
ed by the King and parliament. Speaking
OF the reign of Charles III. in 1880, Hume
says that " tumultuous petitoning was one
of the chief articles by which the NAL
contents in the last reign"-that IS of the
first Charles-"had attacked the crown
and though the manner of subscribing
and delivering petitions was now some
what regulated by act of parliament, Tie
thing itself remained" During this same
year the King showed his displeasure, in
various ways, in reference to class of
petitions earnestly insisting upon session
of parliament" and, even, issued linen
acing proclamation, but all to no purpose.

A Murder in the white Mouutains

fatal affray occurred on the line of the
Ogdcnsburg railroad in Harris location, n.
H., on Sunday last, at a shanty occupied
by workmen employed on the extension
now being built through the White Noun
tains, in which Young man, a Swcdc, lost
his life by the hands of fellow workman,
also Swede. 1t appears that quite num-
Der were engaged in a quarrel within the
shanty, but by the efforts of others the
combatants were hustled outside. The muir
dered man being left upon the inside re-
marked that he would 90 out and see fair
play. Just as he stepped from the door
the murderer plunged IA large knife into
his breast, penetrating the heart causing
death in five minutes. Judge Pit
man, of Bartlett, learning of the affair,
at once repaired to the spot accompanied
by constable, and succeeded in arres,ing
the murderer. He was taken to Bartlett,
and measures were at once taken for pre-
liminary examination. The murderer ac-
knowledged that he committed the deed,
but remarked that he did not kill the man
that he intended to. He was committed to
the Ossipec Jail, where he will be confined
to await the action of the grand jury, at
the April term Of the court. The name of
the man who was killed was Jansen. He
was trying to keep the murderer from a
man with whom he was fighting. Jansen
and his murderer were fast friends.
