then, the climate of Louisiana is very trying
to the virtue, and ruins mems morals as the
Indian climate does their hvers. This loca-
ton Of the zone of intemperance and the Iati-
tude for lies is very curious. We should like
to see the isothermal line of fraud laid down,
by which It could be judged how far north the
stealing Of an electoral vote would be called
regarded as something more than ian OBJ
viously improper proceeding" Perhaps If

people like Anderson bring their own climate

trail Comnltteel calling for the organization
OF clubs. Let them be organized at once. Our
two towns should make commencement; we
have the nucleus among us for two or three
clubs. We have heard OF contemplated or
gan1zation among the workingmen, and
would be pleased to have them enter our
ranks In strong and solid body. We espe-
cially desire all Democrats and Conservatives
to be represented by worthy and honorable
citizens, and those who refuse to take an ac-
tive part In the selection OF candidates will
have no good reason to complain of selections
made by others. Those who decline co-opera-
tion with their neighboring ward assemblies
In order to secure worthy candidates will
find little consolation In wasting their votes
on independent candidates Of their own selec-
tion In November next.

1t is to be hoped the Musical soriety will not
be deferred by the small attendance from con-
timing these delightful Saturday afternoon
concerts which they inaugurated yesterday, be-
cause of the small attendance. They are Ger
tain, eventually, to become popular 1t only
needs the people to learn of their excellence.
Mrs. Il. Anderson was much more effective
yesterday, than her appearance at the
Opera House--the hall did not exact 80 much
of her, and her finished singing was heard to
much better advantage. 'He Thinks I do Not
Love Him. and ''Not There My Child" were
we'll received. MIR. ]. r. Tinkham is quite an
acquisition to the society; his bearing is
modest and unassuming; his playing ia care
full, conscientious and sympathetic, but he
lacks nerve and boldness; at times he was
almost falteriug, and his Tone in consequence
lacked fullness and symet'y; time, however,
will give the required Inconsistencies
and vigor. Mrs. F. Loi Rice's
piano solo "Novclette" (Schuman) was heartily
applauded. Miss Rice has no mannerisms, but
sufficient individuality in her method to make
it distinctive. The almost mechanical reading
may be attributed to the fact that the young
lady was painfully conscious of it's being her
hrst appearance before a St. Paul audience
The orchestral numbers were excellently rem
dered, bnt there was not that smoothness and
precision in the rendition of Keller Bea's beau
tiful ''Tempelweihe" that was observed at the
Opera House on Tuesday. But it could hardly
be expected that orchestra could feel in
splred with so small an audience. The flute
(Herr) has greatly improved in tone. Selec.
tions from Faust (Bergmann) brought most

and the one-eighth per cent. above par was
about the percentage charged by the brokers
for selling. There were not more than five
