find those good Democratic journals, the
Lake Charles Echo and vermillon Banner,
intimating that ''the Regulators aie .

utterly ignoring their previous allegations
that there were NO Rspublieans In these
parishAs Tho shield of Taft's order might
prohtably be extended over this benightsd
section Of the State.
The bloody-minded bulldozers Of More
house parish have become absolutely reck-
less. One morning last week the postmas-
ter of Bsstrop. j. j. Schardt, Esq, who IL
also Republican nominee for the Legisla-
ture. found the significant and symbolic
coffin placed at his front gate, and as the
Democratic Clarion glibly puts it, he ''left
immediately for parts unknown" His
prudence in thus promptly accepting the
warning was justified by the subsequent
bloody murder of his friend and fellow Re-
publican leader, Mr.. J. A. Laws, by another
Of those ''mysterious'' assassins who curse
our fair State and commit their horrid
crimee in the interest of Democratic reform.
Jubilant with their success in these two
instances. on Monday night they surrounded
the residence Of the Republican nominee
for State Senator, who was entertaining
our distinguished candidate for Attorney
General, Hon. William Fl Hunt, and for
hours made the air resound with threats
and foul oaths and imprecations-a vile
and cowardly insult which should cause
every decent Louisiana Democrat to hang
his head in shame.
We onter protest right here that no such
election ~ 70 contemplated by the laws of
the State and of the United States can now
be held in the parish OF M0rehouse.

PANICs II PUBIIC BUuDlNGs.-The &C
currence Of the brooklyn disaster hassugss'ed
inquiries into tie facilities for leaving places
of public amusement, aud IL SCENE 10 he gem
orally assumed that the proper prevention OF
similar casualties is the provision of ample
avenues Of exit. Bot so far as can be gather
ed from the STATEN ants Of eye-wi'nea-u5 IN
the Brooklyn case, it was not e question OF
doors at all. The panic that seizsd upon the
audience SO overmastered the people that they
we're unable to reach the doors. \ temporary
stoppage occurred on one of The stairs, aud
Immediately an impossible blockade was
created by the frantic efforts of those who
we're behind 10 push their way past the Oh.
siruction. In such unreasoning pauics no
means OF exi; aIe available. In another dread
ful cunhgl'iDG-,ha' of the Church Of Stu-
iIago, s'yerai years ago-there WAS a Gothic
doorway twenty-five feet wide and fully as
high, bat the people flung themselves upon
III place of exit 50 faTionSly that they were
piled up 20 the very top of the lofty doorway,
and thns teclme iammed in so immovahiy
that those who were ou'side fUund it impossi
bic to relieve them. The truth Is the best
pI-vsn'iggs become GseiesS when panic Oc-
ours, II is like a stampede Of wild cattle,
against which no'bing can stand, and at
such times argument and appeal are alike
rain, for the victims of the unreas0nirg ter

SENSATIONAL. RrPoRr "A Washington
special, dated Dc. l5.h, says: Reports of Il
sens ,iiUnal character are aflnat tonight,
which undoubtedly have basis If truth.
Information is claimed TO have been received
coucerning secret organization of the dem
cra:s in Indiana, Ohio. and other States, in
cluang New York. formed on The CID plan
of the knights of the Golden Circle, and De
sigfd 10 inauguTare Tilden by force of arms.
There have been communications received by
democratic Congressman not only from the
rank and file but from some prominent men,
which indicate pnrplse TO make troa5le
widely entertained. They claim they can
surround Washington with 5G0,0G0 armed
democrats at ten days notice, and if the re-
ports alluded 20 are correct the secret organi-
cation il for the purpose of preparing for such
concentration OF force. In the absence f exact
information, it is perhaps as well to treat
such stories as sensational, but II Is impossible
not to give some credence 10 them, berause
they have their origin mainly from demo
cratic sources.

PRECEDENTs SOMETIMES GovERy.-
There is much said as to how the
electoral vote is to be counted, some
persons being siiiy enough to suppose
that the President Of The Senate has
the whole matter in his hands and the
two Houses will be silent spectators.
The following precelents are good an
thorlty at this time. Vice President
Dallas, in 1919, said to the joint Assem-
bly,:
81 Now open and present 10 the t,:isrs chosen hv
the two Houses. the certha.s TIA. the votes there.

The SENATE on THE JorNr Rules -
Toe Senate, b. a vote of fifty 10 four,
has declared the Joint rules not in
force, but we do not see precisely
what cause for copgatulalion there i
in this action, nor how it can be said
to simplify the business of the cleetor
al count. The truth is that the posi-
tion ofsthe Senate on the ioint rules
was taken last session, ami there has
never been even probability that
that position woGld be changed, much
less reversed. The dificul'v, however,
