The New Orleans Times virtually adj
mits that Democratic rule in Louisiana
is Il failure. OF the Democratic legisla-
ture, the Times says: Anybody who
watches the proceedings of the legisla-
ture must detect the flavor of extensive
Bourbonism in all it does. Already one
can see the reckless determination TO
carry its point at all hazards which dis
tinguishes Bourbonism, and those who
had hoped for serious and calm and dis
passionate deliberation over our public
affairs are shocked and grievcd at
the prospect" There is much more
of this character, and to the effect that
the two years work of the legislature
that promised to do SO much, is barren
of good result. The Times comedies
that business and moneyed men, plant
ers and thirsty mechanics, laboring men
and taxpayers, generally, have no rights
which the hot Bourbons feel called upon
to respect"

a room in the custom house building
To this room Pat was conducted.
On the arrival of the worthy confessol
he was also shown into the same room. AS
the good father entered Pat dropped on
his knees before him and crossing him
self remained in silence.
After certain preliminaries the holy
father said, Patrick, are you guilty OF
not guIlty:'
The answer was, 81 am guilty"
Then tell me the truth and the whole
truth" demanded the priest.
so will. The devil tempted me,
and, for the first time in my life, made d
thief of me. l stole the money. What
to do with it didn't know. I first took
it home with me. I was afraid to keep
it there, so put it in corn sack and
carried it to my sisters house, on the
corner of White and Clio streets, and put
it in the manger under the shed Ny
sister was washing in the yard. told her
that sack contained big thing, and
that's all know about it."
All else that transpired in that room
between the good priest and Pat is un-
necessary to be told for the purpose of
this story. O'DOnnel left that room a
seemingly happier and trust better
man than when he entered it. At any
rate, the government gained $4,000 by
the interview.
During the few days that elapsed be-
fore the return of the money through the
instrumentality of father NJ, had prom
ised the good priest that would do all
that lay in my power for Patrick, as his
solicitude in that direction was very
great and not altogether out of place, for
it was unquestionably the first offence.
The rare opportunity afforded had sud-
denly made thief of an otherwise hon.
est man.
The day before the summary trial of
Pat at the provost court, visited Judge
Bell at his private residence. In my
opinion more upright and humane
judge never presided over any court than
he. After listening to my story of the
robbery, the return of the money through
the priest, and the promise made by me,
the judge said in quiet manner, Bring
the prisoner into court tomorrow morn
ing" l somehow got it into my head
that the judge wanted time to reflect
on the matter and that a way would be
provided that the supplicatiOn of Father
VI. would not pass UNDECIDED
A trial in those warlike days was a
brief affair. 1t consisted mostly of an
order OF commitment. On being ar
raigned Pat plead guilty. An order was
made by the judge directing his confine-
ment in Fort Jackson for period of
ten years. But different from his usual
course, the judge handed the order to me
to be executed / understood the Joke
at once. The judge smiled when l re-
turned the order on the back of which
the escape of Pat was endorsed.

come a law. The bill is in no sense q
partisan one, and it is necessary pre-
caution against complications in the
electoral count. There is nothing in the
bill that Democrats can object to, except
the fact that it was framed by Republi-

suppose that they will have better show

there is always danger of serious trouble

was suffering from general debility and ner-

Vegetine my most unqualified Endorsement,
