the administration to assert and maintain the
laws Of the State henceforth and to convince

State government Is supreme within its own

State to enforce the penal law against lottery

State and city administrations, aud for the

One OF the means that will be resorted to
by Bismarck, the telegraph tells us, to restore
commercial prosperity in Germany, and put
an end to the general depression existing In
all the branches Of trade and commerce In
that country Is the reconciliation OF silver.
Bismarck was an earnest opponent OF silver
few years SINCE and mainly responsible for
the action OF the German government In TAX
ing it out Of circulation. a course that seemed
TO greatly unsettle Its value as coin. Bis
marck now holds an entirely different opinion
on this subject, and ls as anxious to get silver
again la circulation in Germany as he lately
was TO drive 1t from that country. The re-
monetization Of silver In Germany would un-
doubtedly serve to place 1t, at once, on an
equality with gold. Holland, which has also
demonetized It, would undoubtedly follow the
example in very short time, and 1t Is prob
able that Great Britain, the only other de-
monetizer, would do go also. Indeed, the lat
ter country has much more reason to adopt
this course than Germany, as Its principal
possession, India, does all It's trade and busl-
ness In silver .".-

Yesterday afternoon Madame Patterson
Bonaparte, relic of Jerome Bonaparte, brother
OF Napoleon and King of Westphalia, dl' In
Baltimore Mt the advanced age OF ninety-six.
The story of her marriage ID doubtless known
to ell Americans. Miss Patterson was Bal
timore belle who encountered Jerome Bona
parte, then captain In the French navy, In
1903, and married him. Napoleon had other
designs for his brother. and when the latter
returned home refused to recognize the mar
riage and insisted upon his marriage with
German princess. to which Jerome. after
some resistance consented. Notwithstanding
her bad treatment Mrs. Patterson Bonaparte
had a great reverence for the Napoleons. She
endeavored to have her marriage declared
legitimate and proper In France, but in this
she failed although the French court pro-
nutlnced her son legitimate.

Louisiana can never be- prosperous until the
present burden Of taxation is lifted from the
property OF the State. A tax Of eleven mills
would crush the life out OF much more thriv-
Ing communities. To bring the State ex-
penses within the ability of the people to pay
they must be so reduced rs TO be met by a
tax not exceeding five mills for all purposes.
This can be done only by investigating and
scaling the bonded debt. The time has come
when the depreciation Of values must fall on
Nil. Thus far the bondholder has been ex-
empt. the taxpayer has borne the whole bur
den. This must be changed and the conven-
tion may be confidently relied on to change 1t.

Yesterday. the Greenbackers In Congress
Joined In the great political debate relative to
the right OF the Federal government to
station troops ut the polls on election day
and Interfere In the elections. Messrs.
Weaver, Dc Ia Matyr. Wright. Jones, Of Texas,
and other Greenbackers addressed Congress-
on this great question The Republicans
have been felicitating themselves for some
time past over the fact that the Greenbackers
would oppose the plan proposed by the Demo
cratic caucus Of lacking the repeal Of the
Federal election laws on to tho appropriation
bills, but they had little cause to rejoice over
the speeches Of these gentlemen. Of course.
they held up their own little party rs the only
party that could save the country. and even
declared that the manner In which the Demo
Gratis proposed to repeal these unconstitu-
Gonal laws unwise; but on the great points
OF the unconstitutionality. injustice and Sec
tionalism OF the Federal election laws and
the absolute necessity of their repeal, they
took as firm and as determined stand rs
any Democrat In Congress. The Republican,
have little comfort to derive from the Green.
back speeches made yesterday In Congress.
