THE AMERICAN UNION.
what was Overheard Concerning Ets
Principles and IT'S Ideas.

Yesterday several men were talking politics
and kindred topics at the corner OF Royal and
Canal streets. when the conversation turned
TO discussion on the American Union.
Opinions seemed to be divided and the group
split In two factions. One maintained that
no association had right to be secret and
meddle in politics; that this would hurt the
Dem party, and foster spirit of
rivalry and distrust among the clubs, many
members of which were foreigners. The
American Union men, on the other hand, said
that native born Americans had a perfect
right If they chose TO organize into secret
association to protect themselves from the en-
or, achments Of BtranerS on our government.
If. remarked one Of the men, the Irish have
their order of Hibernians, the Italians, the
SPANISH the French, and in TACT, II numbers
of foreigners organize into associations for
their mutual protection, we Americans are
warranted is doing the same. 1t Is falsely
asserted that members of the union wish to
control politics. Such is not the idea, for any
one, be he Democrat, Radical, Wing, etc, can
belong to the Union If he is native-born
American:
opDoses the government of the country by
| aliens, by men who can have no representa-
| tive interest in this country outside OF filling
their pockets and deCamping TO their native
| land when the purse Is suiHClSnbly nehVy.
| Yes, sir, times have come to n pretty pass
we must have our own fellow-citizens In posi-
tiOns which they can fill much better than the
| aliens, who do not know the wants OF the
people. The speaker then touched upon the
question Of immigration by remarking that
as many as come here from foreign lands, as
many Americans are deprived OF the means
OF making living.
Take, for example, the case Of that ship
the Paul Seavy which brought here from
Venezuela those 200 Polish immigrants
These men came here without q cent and
presto! they found work; were sent to planta
| lions, where they were paid and fed. Tive
| hundred Americans could not have founC
work SO quickly; and now strangers comt
into this country penniless, and Immediately
agents and others hunt up places for thest
parties.
When the conversation had reached th
point, our reporter felt somewhat Disguised
at this foolish reasoning, and left for field
and pastures new. Whether the speaker be
longed to the Union, or whether he was In
formed by some member as TO the status o
the American Alliance, it is not known, as tn
society Is secret one and no member, so W
hear, is allowed to divuige the GTCdnG OF tn
order. We give this Information for what /
Is worth and simply as a matter Of news

First Days Practice Ot the State Team
at FrOgmOOr.
Yesterday the rifiemen selected to represent
Louisiana In the interstate match praoticed
at the 900 and 5OO-yard ranges with very good
results. 1t was something new for our mill
tary marksmen, representing three different
commands, to shoot as a team, and instead OF
wishing each other all sorts Of mlshaps were
assisting each other to the best advantage.
The team made an average Of nearly fitty-two
points each, which Is the best shooting as q
team record In this state. Our boys must be
careful; do not be too sure of winning, and
neglect practice; they have to shoot against
first class shots, representing Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi. Hard work and jul
dicious management is required to win. One
mistake may lose the match.
The team leaves next Sunday morning at
half-past seven o'clock. Capt. Pierce was
selected as tenth man in place Of MI. Leau-
mont.

A light-hearted centenarian cracked her
last Joke in Detroit hospital one day last
week, and with smile on her Withered face
passed thence to another and possibly
more serious world. Her name was Marga-
ret Eagan, and her age one hundred and
two. She had lived so long, that her rela-
tiyes had lost sight OF her, for although she
had grandchildren who were well to do, she
was suffered to end her days as pensioner
OF the Little Sisters of the Poor. But she
did not droop and lose her spirits. She was
as happy as the day was long. She used to
sing, tell stories, and even dance for the
crones in the hospital. Every day she would
stroll into the infrmary with big jews
harp, and sit there for hours playing uncer-
tain iigs and rickety reels, and contriving
to bring back to wan cheeks the flush OF eX-
element and to dull eyes the light OF other
days. Only five days before her death she
entertained her companions 10 this way, and
during her illness she amused herself with
her jewsharp, joking, laughing, singing,
whistling, and smiling, like a girl Of SIN
teen. A few hours before her death the little
old lady remarked to the doctor: "Fm
strong and hearty, and shall live to good
old age" 1t was her last joke. II is not
every centenarian who can trip through the
Valley Of the Shadow keeping step to the
creaking iangle of rusty iewsharp.
