The contest In the Harrisburg convention TO-
day between the Randall and Wallace factions
OF the Pennsylvania democracy may be mar
rowed down to question OF instructions With
regard to a unit rule. The Randall men, In
waving their demand that the convention shall
instruct for Tiden, virtually confess their doubt
of being able TO control the convention. Their
objective point, until yesterday, was to instruct
for Tilden, but after surveying the field at Har-
risburg they retreated and announced them
selves In favor OF mo Instructions" The Wal
lace men, or at least, an apparent majority OF
them, have all along advocated an uninstruct-
ed delegation, and In coming to this position
the Randall men warrant the belief that they
are rather seeking to avoid than to engage In q
contest for supremacy In the convention They
cannot, however. retreat with any sort OF con-
sistency from their declared opposition to the
unit rule and as Senator Wallace Is determined
to insist upon instructions TO vote under that
rule. that will probably DE the only issue upon
which the factions can test their respective
strength. The Randall men made a decided
point by proclaiming that they were earnestly
In favor OF harmony, and proposing to restore
good feeling by admitting both the contesting
delegations from Philadelphia and allowing
each half vote. This compromise has been
utterly opposed by the Wallace men but it
SOihhiShGCN IUocil u C0udbTy utleSdJpS, WHO

In this state Of affairs the Wallace men In
sisted that If the compromise were adopted It
should prevail all round and that their anti
Tflden conteSting delegation from Allegheny
county should be admitted 10 The convention
upon the same terms. This was a maneuver
that unsettled the TildeniteS. To deprive them
'f half their Allegheny delegation would nearly
Isett the advantage they would gain by get
ing In half their supporters from Philadelphia
may be that the party wisdom will be suffi-
ent TO harmonic differences and bring ordey
ud unity out OF chaos and DIVISION and the
eports today from the convention are rather
favorable to that result.

Since, unfortunately, the awful crime of rape
Is not punished with death In the District of
Columbia the best possible disposition that
could be made OF the brute Smothers is TO send
him TO the penitentiary for thirty years, as
Judge James concluded 10 do yesterday. The
greatest drawback to this form OF punishment
is the danger that after the facts are partially
forgotten, and the public for want OF knowledge
or them cease TO take an active interest In the
anair, some soft hearted President may turn
the wretch loose on community again through
the exercise or the pardoning power 1t IS
hardly supposable, however, that this could
occur In Smothers' case; and If it should. tt Is
not likely he would ever show himself in this
neighborhood again, for fear that lynch law
would be invoked to infiict penalty that the
statute books themselves failed TO provide.

First 1t was Cadet Whitaker that was on
trial; now It Is West Point itself, or soon will
be. The trial OF Ryan, the saloon keeper, who
has been arrested on charge Of perjury in
connection with the court OF inquiry proceed
1ngs, VIII bring out good many facts that were
not made public by that body, and some proba-
bly, that 1t intended should not be disclosed In
his eagerness to protect his patrons Ryan swore
that none OF the cadets had ever visited his gin
shop. This was farther than some of the cadet
themselves were willing to so, and with the
penalties for false swearing before them several
admitted that they had been In the habit of
patroniZiDg his place. On account of those ad-
missions, and, as is supposed also, on account
OF some important additional clues obtained by
the detectives, Ryan has been arrested and
taken to New York. where he will
be tried on criminal charge 1t Is
believed that when he sees that his eff
forts to shield others have brought him
into trouble he will make a clean breast of it
and tell all he knows, irrespective of who or
what may be affected by his revelations. Those
who pretend to know claim that before Ryan's
trial is concluded the world Will learn a good
deal more about the administration OF affairs at
the military academy than it ever knew before
and that the court of inquiry itself Is likely to
suffer somewhat In the estimation of the gene
raj public. Whether these predictions be full
filled or not, there is every reason to believe
that when the case comes before the criminal
court the investigation will be both searching
and thorough. and that all the facts connected
with the case will be brought out, If possible,
no matter who may be damaged In consequence.
This Is as IL should be. Whether for want of
jurisdiction and appliances, or for want of In
clination, the opinion is largely entertained
that the inquiry so far has not been as sharp
ana exhaustive as 1t should have been.

The louisville COurier-JO,Unal agrees with
THE STAR that the democratic representatives
In Congress have been false to the pledges made
by the party at the st. Louis convention In re-
gard to the revision Of the revenue laws, and
says :" 1t Will be the duty of the Cincinnati con-
Vent1on 10 reaff1rm In stronger terms than ever
the hostility OF the party To the present tariff"
This that body will probably do; but what Will
such action amount to? The fact that the DEM
ocratie party has had the majority In both
houses OF Congress for some time past, and has
as yet done nothing towards fulfilling the prom
iSes made at st. Louis, shows how little binding
force the platforms adopted at partisan conven-
lions really have. In the light OF this expert
ence, reaffrmation In even stronger terms
than ever" as our contemporary proposes, is not
likely TO greatly influence intelligent and indie
pendent voters. 1t will be well for both parties
TO remember that the kickerS and scratchers are
abroad In the land this year.

THE PROSPECT.-ln 1910 when
the grand old Whig:Party nomiua
ted Gen. Harrison for President
,hey had little idea Of electing
him, bn. the people Of the couil
try were determined to have a
change. Every mail brought the
names of prominent Democrats
who We're announced as support
ers of the Harrison ticket.
The Democrats laughed and
pronounced them sore heads and
disappointed Office seekers bnt
when the election came Off Gen.
Harrison swept the field by an al
most unanimous vote.
In 1860 when the Republican
convention nominated Lincoln
for the presidency, the Democrats
threw up their hats with JOY at
the selection made by their oppo
nents. for a standard bearer.
Every mail brought names OF
leading Democrats who were sup
porting Lincoln. The Democrats
grinned and said their party deem
ed such men a happy radiance.
When the election came off Lin
coin Was elected by a large
majority.
Now we see every day new
names OF leading Republicans who
are coming out boldly for Han
cock and. when the election comes
off the returns will show as in pre-
vlous Years, that when leaders
change thousands of their friends
will follow them.

HOMICIDE.--At a ball given on
last Saturday night at LasSeigne's
Hall, about five miles above this
place. an unfortunate atfray occur
red, in which George Rountree
was killed by Faustin Martin.
Judging from the evidence taken
before the Coroner's jury whis,
key was the principal actor in
this unfortunate tragedy.
The deceased had been using
violent and insulting language.
in and near the room in wheel, la
dies were assembled tor amuse
ment.
His friends had prevailed upon
him to go home, but after mount
ing his mule he rode to the door
of the Hall which was near the
street. and began cursing Martin
who took a stick from some ones
hands and struck the deceased
two or three blows over the head
and neck, causing almost instan
taneouS death.
. MIR. Martin was immediately ar
rested by Mr.. Roger Deputy Sher
lit who arrived on the ground at
the moment the homicide was
committed. The Coroner's jury
found a verdict of manslaughter.
Martin is in Jail.

PARISH FREE ScHOoLs.-Soon
or late our parOchial Free Schools,
will throw open their doors for
the reception of scholars. But
how long they will remain so
there is no telling. Without wish
ing to dictate, We will make IL
suggestion.
The only course that is left to
our School Boards, now, so as to
enable them to run their raspec
tive schools, as in the past. is to
give varied entertainments in
their behalf, and appeal to the
residents OF their respective school
districts TO render whatever as
sistance they possibly can toward
the support OF the schools; and
the means thus obtained, togeth
er with what may be handed over
by the State aud Parish, for their
maintenance, ought, III our opin
ion, If responded to in a proper
spirit, keep the schools open the
Same length OF time as under the
old regime.
In other words, let the teachers
be empowered to collect whatever
sur,s they can from pupils aud pa
irons, and the balance due, to
make up their salaries. will come
from the Treasures of the Boards.
We feel quite sanguiue that the
foregoing is the only possible
way out of the great dilemma the
School Board are now in. What
say our exchanges to recommend
ing the plan suggested for a trial?
We feel confident it will succeed,
until "A better plan has been map
ped out throughout the State
GretnG Courier.
The SENTINEL advocated the
above plan three years ago.
By this means. several schools
in Lafourche have had their SEES
sions extended several months.

ton of children.

The Acting Goyerno,

THE Acting Governor OF
Louisiana has ordered an election
OF Mayor and Council Of the CITY
OF New Orleans to take place. on
the same day as the presidential
election.
This probably disposes Of the
hue and cry for All extra session
OF the Legislature that has been
heard about the streets of that
city.
That the city government is in
no enviable position is very evi
dent, bnt that an extra session of
the Legislature would make it
any better is not so evident. If
the representatives from New Or
leans could do nothing in 90 days
what prospects are there, that
anything wosld be done in an ex
ira session.
