About the time of the Maine

of Republican coTHption, bri-

attempt made to investigate those
charges, and it POW seems that
at least one radical, whether a
sreformer" or "naachine" is not
stated, will be caught and pun
ished, His punishment Will not
be as great as it should be, but
public opinion in that State IS
such that he and others shown to
be guilty Of purchasing votes
will suffer. There are no Be-

at present. Mr.. Hayes and the
heads of the Departments were
setting an example of desperate

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

Reader, have you caught cold? Are you
tation in the throat? A sense of oppression on
the lungs, with short breath? Do you have q
H. Of coughing on lying DOWN. A sharp pain
low and then in region of the heart shoulders
and back ? IF so, OUR ADVICE is to take
at once dose Of TUFTS Expectorant; you will
soon be able 10 rsise the phlegm. In al hour
feet take two of TUFTS Pills. You will soon
isl into a pleasant sleep and wake up in the
morning cough gone, lungs working freely
easy breathing ana the bowels moving in q nat
nrsl manner. To prevent return of these
symptoms use the E1pectorsnt several days.

EARLY LOUISIANA HISTORY.
shreveport Standard.j

"A recent article III tho New Orleans
Democrat, in which we think We re-
cognize the 1inger-mark of a learned
and esteemed friend, whose vast in
formation on all matters relating to
the political history of the State justly
entities him to be called tho sshistorio-
grapher" of Louisiana, gives some ex-
ceedingly interesting information with
regard to the families of Governor w.
c.. c.. Claiborne and Mr.. John r.
Grymes. We dislike to call in ques-
ton any statement from 50 high an au-
thority, but we think chat our conten-
porary is mistaken when he says that
Governor Claiborne was elected one Of
the first Senators under the constitu-
ton of 1872 with great unanimity. If
so, Louisiana has had two of her citi-
zens to decline so great an honor-Mr.
Charles Gayarre having declined the
Office to which he was elected in 1885,
when he had barely attained the con-
age. It is not probable,
however, that Governor Claiborne's
name was used in connection with the
Senatorship in 1912, when he had just
been elected the first Governor of the
of the Territory. The first Senators
were James Brown and Allan B. Ma
gruder. The former was a brother of
John Brown, who had been Senator
from kentucky, and grand-uncle Of =.
Gratz Brown, who has been Senator
from Missouri. At tho expiration of
Mr.. Browns term in 1917, Governor
Claiborne, whose term as Governor
was just expiring, was elected as his
successor, but died before taking his
seat. Mr.. Brown was subsequently
again Senator, and also Minister to
France,

THE LOUISIANA DEBT.
a Test Case TO be Nude.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A very in.
teresting case testing the validity OF
tho recent action of the Louisiana Con.
stitutional Convention in respect to the
State debt will shortly be begun in the
Federal courts. Holders of Louisiana
bonds here and in New York promise
to test the question as to whether a
State can repudiate the contract with
its bondholders. Under tho constitu-
ton of 1874 the State debt was funded
| III existing bonds, and it was provided
that five and half mills of the State
tax should be set apart annually for
the payment of the seven per cent. in.
terest then made the rate. These bond
holders say that that was u contract,
and that the State cannot by subse-
quent action impair the obligation
without violating the constitution Of
the United States. Some officer of the
State is to be sued ON the old bonds
and the case carried to the Supreme
Court for a decision.
Commenting on the above tho St.
Louis Republican says:
The proposed attempt of Louisiana
bondholders to bring the recent adjust
ment of the debt of that State to a ju-
dicial test will be watched with some
interest, though there is little ground
for believing that the settlement can
be overthrown. 1t seems that this is the
second time the State has assumed to
settle its debt without the consent of
its creditors, and the present adjust
ment overthrows that of 1874. Both
were arbitrary, the wishes of tho cred
itors never having been taken into ac-
count; but the New York creditors
take the view that the settlement of
1874 was contract, and the settlement
of 1879 is a law impairing the obliga-
tiOns of that contract, and therefore
prohibited by the United States consti-
tuition. But this view of the case is
more ingenious than forcible. No legal
device has ever been invented that
would make the federal power col
1ector of debts due from State. So
far as debts are concerned, the States
are practically, if not theoretically,
sovereign; they have right to con-
tract them to any amount they see fit,
and then they may pay them or not,
government has no authority either to
limit the indebtedness a State may
contract, or to force it to pay its Cbliga-
tions; and it ought not to have such atl-
thority. Reputation may be dishon-
orable and never defensiblc, but if a
federal judge in New York has power
to give judgments and issue executions
against the States of Louisiana and
Minnesota in behalf of an individual
creditor living in New York or Lon
don, it would not be long before the
States were completely provincialized
and deprived of all viriIity. If per-
sons will loan money to States of
doubtful credit, they must take the
chances of persuading the States to pay
without colupulsion.

sLEEPING.CAR CONTRETEMps.
(Boston Transcript

1t was in Pullman sssleoper'' be.
tween Albany and Buffalo. Among
the passengers were a middle-aRetl
couple evidently on their first Journey
and a sour-faced old maid, rather
desiccated in her general effect, who
was travelling alone. The couple had
an upper berth, and the maiden sswel
stricken in years. tho upper berth In
the adjoining section. In the sarac car
werea pair of frolicsome youths, ready
for any sort Of mischief. Bed time
| came and all hands retired. But the
! husband could not sleep. Whether it
was because Of tho motion Of tho cars,
tho noise, or the novelty of the situa-
tion, he could not understand, but try
as hc would he could not sleep. At
length it occurred to him that he was
thirsty. The more he thought of II
the more thirsty he got So he called
the porter, who brought ladder and
helped him down.
Now, while he was gone for the
water, one of the " boys'' stepped out
of bed and shifted the ladder 80 that 1t
rested against the berth In which the
ancient maiden was sleeping, and then
returned to his bed to noto the result.
In a moment or two the husband re-
turned and quietly crept up the steps,
anxious to make as little noise as pos
sible go as not to walxen his wife. The
occupant of the berth, thus rudely in
truded upon, awoke with start, and |
screamed. Tho husband, supposing it |
to be his easily frightened wife, tried |
to reassure her, and said, ssIt is only
me-" "Only you, you old scoundrel," |
said the venerable maiden ;"I'll teach |
you a lesson," and with that she seized |
him by the hair of his head and
screamed for help. Then he howled
with pain. Then his wife, awakened |
by the noise, discovered where her
husband was, and raised her voice in
lamentation, heaping reproaches upon
her faithless spouse. Then the passen-
gers all got up and demanded an ex-
planation of the comlnotion, and fore
most among them was the wretch
who caused 1t all. Then the hus-
band, covered with confusion, and
utterly unable to account for what
he had done, climbed down from
his perch, and skunk away to bed
where he was soundly lccturcd for
his faithlessness. Altogether It was
a most uncomfortable, though a ludi-
crous situation, and the glances Of def
ance that were exchanged between the
wife and the old maid all through tho
next day were a study. The cause of
all the trouble leaked out, but it never
reached the cars of those chiefly affected
by it.
